IS CHIT-CHAT 81
Miss Tennie Thomas seems to be
making quite a success as a teacher
in the Third ward. Miss Tennie is
all right If she can only succeed in
getting those foolish Cuban notions
out of her head.
The boys of the high schcel say
that some how they have no inclIna'
tion to cut up except occasionally
when Mr.. Register Is out.
And now there is great deal OF
speculation as to what the council
would have done had the gas company
not have sold out to them. We don't
care what they would have done, we
are very well satisfied with what they
did do.
A Chanute man can now be inden-
tilted by his walk. He carries his
head up and struts with iordly
mien. He has an interest in one Of
the best paying properties on earth,
The Chanute Gas Plant.
One Of the Senior girls was heard to
remark the other day, just after lis
tening to one of Miss Ellis favorite
lectures on love making: II don't
care. I'd'rather take good scolding
occasionally than die an old maid"
Why is vocal music being neglected
in our schools this winter? The at
tention of Supt. Ellis is respectfully
called to this important matter.
Oh yes, we lost three nights sleep
watching for the 'meters." Got or
dered to the barn for disturbing our
wife's slumbers and feel worse than
we used to in our younger days after
being out all night with the boys, land
never saw "meter," Drat the as
tronomers any way.

BRYAN says the Jones vote in Ohio

III. M. Dunsmore would just add
about two more planks to his an
nounced political platform, sound
money and protection, and stay with
it two or three moons, he would be a

Two of our young blCods, who took
their girls to lola last Sunday for a
drive, were politely escorted out OF

TO FIGHT BILL

The creation of Powell county will be
opposed by the citizens of Anaconda and
a large portion of Deer Lodge county.
who do not care to see the county cut
In two. An informal meeting of the bust
ness, professional and other representa-
tive men of the city was held in the
Montana hotel parlors yesterday after
noon to map out a campaign of action
against the creation of the proposed
county, and they will produce facts and
figures to the legislators at Helena show
ing that the greatest number in Deer
Lodge county can be best served by de-
feating the measure. Several prominent
citizens volunteered their services to
work for the defeat of the bill, which they
believe can be done in the senate, where
the bill was introduced. During the time
the business mems meeting was in ses-
sion. Hon. j, r.. Toole, a member of the
legislature from Deer Lodge county,
came in. He was called upon for a few
remarks, and spoke upon the possibilities
of the Powell county bill passing. The
business men of Anaconda will use every
honorable means to win their protest
against the county division. Mr.. John
Odson acted as chairman and j. r.
Walkup as secretary. Fully 100 men of
ulfferent calings were present.

FROZEN LIN BIS

The passing Of the blizzard and extreme
cold is bringing to light many cases OF
frozen hands and feet to people who were
caught out in the storm. On saturday
John McConville of Carroll had one or
his feet terribly frozen, after beng out IN
the cold only a short time. He was re-
moved to the hospital, and is suffering
great pain. His foot may have to be am
putated.
Another man from Carroll, whose name
is unknown, had both hands frozen Sat
urday night. He was taken to the hos
pital and had his hands dressed, but he
did not remain there, SO his name cannot
be learned.
Word was received in the city this
morning that a Woodchoper southwest of
McCune's camp had both feet and both
hands frozen while wandering in the
storm among the mountains last Friday.
The exact condition of his hands n feet
cannot be learned. He is said to be at a
neighboring wood camp, where he is be-
ing cared for until the cold subsidies, when
he will be brought to the hospital at Ana
cOnda.

SOMETHING LIKE A BUTLER,

Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous ami
NAL painter, had an old servant, his
butler, valet, and faithful slave, named
William, who knew and understood his
masters ways and habits perfectly.
Though Sir Edwin, when he was put
out, would bully this nan at times.
he thoroughly appreciated his useful
ness, and could not have got on at all
without him.
William was particularly assiduous
in guarding the outer portal-no one
could by any possibility gain direct ac-
cess to Sir Edwin, even though an APP
pointment had been made. The answer
would invariably be, "Sir Hedwin is
not at home"
Eve the prince consort himself C
received this answer when he called,
amplified on that occasion by the as
surance that The had gone to a we'd
ding, an entire fiction on Williams
part, as his royal highness found out;
for, on walking boldly in and round the
garden, he noticed Sir Edwin looking
out of his studio window.
The same faithful attendant one day,
when a lion had died at the Zoo, and
his corpse came up in a four-wheeled
cab to be painted from, startled his
master with the question:
please, Sir Hedwin, did you horder a
liOn?"

It Now Has Two Distinct Par
iSheS Here.
THEY WANT HIM RETAINED
The People of This Diocese Ask That
Father Werdein Be Kept
In This Parish.

Beginning with yesterday, Anaconda
has two distinct Catholic parishes. st.
Paul's embraces all west of Alder street,
and St. Peters all east of Alder street,
including Carroll, with Rev. A. r. Coop
man, late of Livingston, as pastor.
Father Coopman arrived in the city Sat-
urday and assumed charge Of st. Peters
church. Yesterday he held mass at s a..
m. and 1880 a. m, and vespers IN the
evening. The church at each service was
filled, and the people who attended were
very much pleased with their new pastor,
who comes we'll recommended as a man of
piety and remarkable zeal in all matters
pertaining to his flock. Yesterday at st.
Paul's church, there were four masses for
the last time until further notice. The
masses in the future will be at 5 a. m. ara
10 a. m. Rev. j. w. Werdein, the assist
ant pastor, has been called away. Bishop
Brondel assigned him to LewistoWn. He
was to have gone Saturday, but remained
over Sunday on account Of Father Fol-
let's illness. Yesterday at noon the gen.
tlemen Of the church held a meeting and
appointed a committee to draft a request
to the bishop to keep Father Werdein in
Anaconda for two reasons. First, his
physical condition not being strong
enough enough to Withstand the trials
and hardships of the Lewistown district,
and secondly, his excellent work in Ana
conda. The resolution was drafted by
the committee, composed of J. V. Collins,
]. T.. O'Brien, John McMurray, ]. 7. Ca
sey and Peter Towey, and was to be pre-
scented to the bishop at Helena today by
Messrs. Collins and O'Brien. Yesterday
afternoon a letter from Bishop Brondell
the place Of Father Callahan, now i'll, and
he will go over today. He came to Ana
Christmas eve and in a few short
weeks has made hundreds of friends, who,
while the hate to lose him, are pleased to
he will not be cast into one of the
remote parts of the state; instead, he can
make his presence felt in the METROPOLIS
OF Montana, his adopted state. Of the f,
orators among the ~clergynen Of the state,
Father Werdein ranks second to none:
hence one of the reasons his Anaconda
admirers do not care to see him removed
TO LeWistown, where there is but a hand
full Of white Catholics and thousands in
Anaconda and Butte who need his SER
wees. The people Of Anaconda who are
familiar with the diocese of Helena are
confident Bishop Brondel is doing the best
he can for the limited number of priests
IN the diocese. Many of them are now
Ill, and several have died during the past
year.

II CITY

Just a little interest is being manifested
in the coming city election which occurs
the second Monday in April. At this cleo
ton a mayor and six aldermen are to be
elected. The officers who are to retire or
succeed themselves are Mayor Oliver
Lesser; Alderman John Hamill, First
ward: Alderman T. J. Mckenzie, Second
ward; Alderman James Johnson, Third
ward; Alderman Fred Gangner, Fourth
ward: Alderman John Pozega, Fifth
ward, and Alderman Edward Devine
from the Sixth ward. Alderman Johnson
has moved from the Third ward to the
a candidate for the reason there are many
democrats in that ward who are entitled
to favors first. No one can tell upon
what lines the coming election will be
conducted. 1t looks as though 1T Will be
upon party lines. The prevailing polltlcs
of Anaconda is democratic. Still two
years ago the republicans elected a re-
mayor and a few aldermen ana
a year ago one republican alderman. II
looks now as though they could do better
this year for the reason the democratic
majority of the past two years has not
been all perfection. Many things could
have been improved upon IT there were
any laws which were not enforced II was
the fault of the democrats, not Mayor
Lesser and the minority Of the republl-
Mayor Lesser may be a candidate
for reelection on the republican ticket
Should he not accept it, there are others.
The democrats talk of ]. y. Collins ana
DAILY, two west end men, while the
in the east end want a man
who lives nearer the center Of the city
who will be impartial to both ends. NO
great interest will be taken in the cleo
ton for 80 days. BY that time each slde
will be ready for the fray which promises
to be a warm me-.
