THREE fellows were operating in the
city yesterday morning, among cloth
ing stores. They entered Schuettes
early in the morning and while two
engaged the clerk in showing goods,
the other concealed some clothing
about his person, They worked Fred
Schultz and secured some clothing
there. When they reached Torrison's
they were buiged out with stolen
goods. They failed to secure any
thing there as they were suspected
They went to the shipyard with their
booty and Policeman earle nabbed
two of them and lodged teen in jail.
The third bad gone out to Manitow oc
Rapids. He sold a coat to kugler
for 60 cents. MIR. Tufts sent word of
clothes being sold in the Rapids
bearing Scnuette's trade mark. Garlic
went out and captured the fellow on
the River road. Three pair of pants
and one coat We're recovered.
Chief Jannsen of Milwaukee tele-
graped that some iewelry had beer
stolen IN that city One OF the three

and r. H. Markham of this city and
Mrs. j. L. Briggs of Wausa
Mrs. Markham saw Manitowoc grow
to its present dimensions from a small
beginning. She did we'll the duties
imposed upon ner by maternity and
earned the highest tribute which can
be paid a woman, that of being a de
voted wife and loving mother. Her
neighborly traits live in the memory
of those in whose behalf they were
manifested. Her home was always a
pleasant one to which her kindly
greeting was no small contribution.
She was always kind, considerable and
tactful and leaves for her friends to
cherish many pleasing recollections
of her. Her funeral takes place on
Saturday next at 2 P. NJ

TRE city of Oshkosh has refused to
insure Its schools and other public build
I'M because Of the rate being too high.
That is the step for every city to take
until insu ance companies make rates
which enable people to hold property t, r
themselves and not fer insurance comps-
NEE. Local agents are apt to reseHt
remarks of this kind, but people are
not conducting business merely for the
purpose of swelling the profits of in-
surance companies. The losses paid by
insurance companies for the year 1898 in
this city do not reach the sum of $1,000
Compare this with their receipts. Here is
chance for Mr.. Bryan to serve the peo-
pie in a line where service would be valu-
able though not leading to the presidency.

Banquet in Honor of the Queens
Birthday
1T WILL BE A GRAND AFFAIR
Many OF the Best Speakers of the
State Will be Present to
Help Celebrate.

Tomorrow evening the Auditorium will
be the scene Of an elaborate banquet, at
which the colors Of two great nations
the cross Of st. George and the flag of
freedom, which lave met on many a hard
fought battle field, will be intertwined.
and English bred and American born will
gather round the festive board to do hon.
or to the SOth birthday of Queen Victoria.
AS far as Butte is concerned it will be a
ratification, in advance, Of the Anglo
American alliance Many of the best
speakers Of the city will be there, and it
has been the effort OF the committee in
charge to have as wide a representation,
as tar as the different n~atlonalities are
concerned, as possible.
The banquet to be given under the
auspices of Victoria iouge, Sons Of st.
George, to Primrose lodge Daughters Of
st. George, and cards Of invitation have
been issued to over 400 guests. The exc
cutive committee comprising William
Bartle, chairman, William Lane, John
Nance, Amos Booth, Joe Harris and l.. p.
B~uckthought, has been untiring in it's ef-
forts to make the affair a success such as
never has been achieved in Butte before
because said Mr.. Bartle, chairman Of
the comittee "of the wonderful change in
S"S Va ~AAAS WV al uS
Great Britain m the men of England.
1t has been marvellous, n every man
who %rejolces at the progress of the Anglo
Saxon race is rejoiced at this friendly
feeling between Englishmen and Ameri-
cans. Why, I e the other day, in an
English newspaper, of the launching of a
great English battleship, which was at
tended by many Of the naval Junction.
aries, I was surprised and delighted,
when I read that intertwined about the
bow of the ship were the stars and
stripes and the Union Jack. Such Incl
dents as these make every Englishman in
this country, who is also a good loyal
American citizen, very happy, and we
propose to enthuse tomorrow night and
make the American eagle scream and the
lion of st. George roar, and give vent to
the new fr%aternal patriotism that has
been born since the Spanish-American
war, and which I hope, will live forever.
For this reason we propose to make to-
morrow evenings event unsurpassed, as
far as this section of the country is con-
c%erned." ~
Among the tcasts which will be re-
sponded to tomorrow evening are the fol-
lowing 1.-THE President and the United
States" Queen Victoria and England
The Order of the Sons Of st. George"
1.-The Volunteers" Mining" Montana"
1.-THE LADIES' and 1.-THE Press"
Mr.. Bartle has received a communica-
ton from Richard Pearce. British vice.
consul at Denver, Colorado, acknowledg-
ing an invitation to the banquet, and re-
GREETING his inability to attend on account
of a monster demonstration which is to
be held in that city tomorrow night and
which will be attended by all of the lead
gin men of the state.

| the male persuasion. Ladies were there,
and ladies Of high SOCIAL standing too,
but not IN great numbers. With The
Turtle" the maxim EVIL to him who evil
Thinks" is apropos. There are several
suggestive passages, but the disrobing
scene, which is supposed to be the crown
ing act of an artistically risque perform
ance, is not nearly as sensational a. one
would expect. Those who can see any,
thing awfully naughty in a charming
young matron, partially disrobe. from be-
hind a screen which wells the most inter-
esting portion Of the act, and be tucked
iiQtQ bed by q mamma whose width is
phenomenal n who stands between the
daughter in deshabille and the audience
most of the time, should be placed in the
custody of moral guardians.
Angelo, the maid, who, off the stage is
Miss Marion Ballou, is made to say some
things of more than passing interest, but
there is nothing in the production as sug-
gestiveiy naughty as the tub scene in the
opera "Boccacio,' which was produced
at the opera house a bout two months ago
and nothing was said about it.
From an artistic standpoint "The Tur-
tie" is a success. 1t will be reproduced
tonight, at a matinee tomorrow afternoon
and Wednesday evenings performance,
will conclude the engagement.
