years of age, was condemned at the Oc-
tober asszes at Ain. Early IN life he Is
known to have brutally murdered four
boys. six women and girls and an old
widow. Most of the victims were tending

Vacher have surpassed in number and

The exact number of Vacher's victims

doubtful whether the murderer himself
knew the real number of his victims.

THE NEW YEAR GREETED
May 1t Prove to Be as Happy as
the Old.
IT WAS WELL WATCHED
Services Were Held in Many of the
Churches = Innumerable Little
Home Parties Danced the
Old Year Out.

The old greeting, Happy New Year.

! the old may be the new" Butte stood
| on the Threshold of the new year early
| this morning; it cast a retrospective
| glance, and little was seen to recall UNI
| pleasant memories of the past II
| months. Beyond the horizon could be
seen fleeing shadows of an uglylinage
| of the recent past. But it was a picture
of revenge for Spanish infamy. Mem
cries of war bulletins and scare heads
| fitted before the eye, but the impress
| of the kind hand of Providence scatter
ed broadcast its influence in Butte and
| all was Well when the II o'clock whis-
| ties screamed their welcome to the new
| year.
The death of 1898 in Butte did not
| mark the date of a riproariOus wake,
yet some of the boys, following the old
and honored custom, went out and
cracked a seal or two and smoked two
| fOrs and told how 1T was done when
| they We're younger. In most OF the
| churches watch services were held and
| the old and the new were given proper
| attention.
The thermometer was about the cold
est thing in the procession. Its face was
|
barometer's. They both frowned on the
scene, one showing abject disgust and
| the other sheer disappointment. Ones

ment as in his face could be seen un-
mistakable signs of more snow and cold
weather. AS far as the weather was
concerned, the new years coming was
a success. 1t was an ideal night for a
winter change of scene. The smoke very
graciously declined to descend and OBJ
scure the vision and tickle the throat
| of Butte's New Years eve. 1t was as
| clear as a bell and as bright as dol

MIGRATING. Some of the zim Fam bum
element retired to the cooler early in

Jailer Sol Levy watched for the coming

| There were innumerable home parties

The gay and f1irtatious danced the
hours away and at the proper time the
hands of the clock covered the X and

sank into history and the new rushed

| The business houses were scenes of
unusual activity, while not SO gay as a
week ago. yet the interest was intense
and the gayety just as gay. Some of
the men and women who in the interval

in the selection of Christmas presents
took occasion to make amends by pur-
| chasing the desired article. The mar

tons of turkey and chicken went into

LOCAL MISSION WORK.

Some excellent work is being accom-
plished by the management of the
Bethel mission, on Twentieth street.
The Gospel meetings being held each
night are attracting large congrega-
tions The sleeping apartments of the

made more comfortable recently. are
being well patronized, and meals are
being served to many of the deserving
INDECENT class of people every day.
During the past week the employment
Office in connection with the mission,
secured employment for four men.
Through the efforts of the management,
one man secured work at the Whit

BRAIN FOOD


Nearly everybody will admit that
and too little of vegetables and the
grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks, and in fact everyone engag-
ed in sedentary or indoor occupa-
tions, grains, milk and vegetables
are much more heathful.
Only men engaged in severe
out door manual labor can live on
a heavy meat diet and continue in
health.
As for a general rule, meat once
day is sufficient for all classes Of
men, women and children, and
grains, fruit and vegetables should
constitute the bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and
it is of no use to advise brain
workers to eat largely of grain and
vegetables where the digestion Is
too weak to asSimilate them prop
erIy.
1t is always best to get the best
results from our food that some
simple and harmless digestive
should be taken after meats to as
sist the relaxed digestive organs,
and several years experience have
proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to be very safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive and remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a medicine, as they
do not act on the bowels nor any
particular organ but only on the
food eaten. They supply what
weak stomaehs lack, pepsin diast-
ase and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secre-
ton of hydrochloric acid.
People who make daily practice
of taking one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
are sure to have perfect digestion
which means perfect health.
There is no danger of forming
an injurious habit as the Tablets
contain absolutely nothing but nat
ural digestives; cocaine, morphine
and similar drugs have no place in
a stomach medicine and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the
best known and most popular of
all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and after a weeks use note
the improvement in health, appe-
tite and nervous energy.

Makes Her Christmas Purchases Early-A
Timely Talk to Holiday Buyers
Christmas is only six weeks off and
it is time to think about Xmas pres
ents. This season the well known and
reliable jewelry firm, Shelf Bros, has
made unusually elaborate preparations
to handle the holiday trade. Every
body knows that there has been a great
advance in the cost of diamonds and
fine jewelry. The advance will not be
seen or felt by the customers of Shen
Bros. This enterprising firm began
months ago to prepare for the Christ
mas trade Diamonds were bought
last January, when prices were lowest.
Watches and fine jewelry were bought
in large quantities at the very lowest
prices of the season. One line Of ladies'
watches purchased by this firm has al
ready advanced over 80 per cent Shelf
Bros. bought cheap for cash and can
sell as cheap as ever before. Their
stock is larger and more complete than
ever before They have positively the
largest and finest assortment of jeWelry
and fine watches ever brought to this
city, and all bought at prices that can
not be now duplicated.
This immense stock is now complete
in every detail, and the firm proposes
to offer special inducements TO early
buyers. Now is the time to make q
selections. The early buyer will profit
both in variety Of selection and price.
Special price concessions will rule from
now until Christmas.

There was a lively interchange or
forcible arguments between Police Or
ficer Snupp and that fragile and deli
cate female. Mrs. Maud Smith. last
evening, which resulted in the officer
having his nose seriously damaged and
Mrs. Smith being dubbed and two
charges entered against her. which
she will answer in Police Court to-
morrow morning.
Maud has won many battle with
the reputed sterner sex, and came very
near adding to her laureis in the fstic
ring last night, her handicap being q
good stout mace in the hands of the
officer.
The trouble started through third
party. A young girl of not uncertain
but certain reputation had been an in
mate of the house kept by vesta
Vaughn, and owing to some misunder-
standing she left and went to Mrs.
Smiths, taking with her. as wearing
apparel, a wrapper and pair Of Slip
pers belonging to the Vestal virgin
aforesaid. Miss Vaughn made a kie1
for her raiment, and Officer SnunD
was called in. He is alleged 10 have
gone to Mrs. Smith and demanded tic
wrapper and slippers, whereupon Mrs.
Smith called his attention to the fact
that the aforesaid wrapper and slip
pers was about all the young woman
had on, but suggested that Mr.. SnupD
go to Vesta's, obtain the girls trunk.
bring it TO the Smith domicile. and
Mrs. Maud would not only turn over
the wrapper and slippers, but pay apy
incidental claim that Vesta might have
against the girl, In coin. This infor-
maticn was gathered from Mrs. Smiths
housekeeper, who added that Mr. Snupp
was dissatisfied with the arrangement
proposed and hit Maud with his fist,
and then left the house. That later 10
returned, knocked at the alley door,
asked for Mrs. Maud, seized her ~
the hair, pulled her out of the house,

and escorted her in that vehicle to 90
lice headquarters, a fierce interchange
Of blows resulting in transit. during
which Maud hit the officer and the Of.
ficer hit her with his mace.
At police headquarters the main
points of the story were corroberated,
with the difference that Maud first hit
Snupo and hurt his nose. whereupon
he arrested her. that at the ladder
house she hit him again. further dam
aging his proboscis, and that he there-
upon swiDed her with his elub and
later placed two charges against her.
that she was released upon giving

case in due season.

One of the heaviest robberie5 lately
occurring in this city took place yes
terday afternoon at the saloon of Fred
Goldstrom, on Water street, north of
Twelfth, the victim being Frank Long.
a travelling salesman for paper-making
machinery and printing paper and gen.
eral supplies, formerly with the firm
of Black & Clawson, of Hamilton, O.,
but now with another firm, at Taren-
tum, Pa, his home. The name of the
Tarentum firm the police omitted to-
record. The amount stolen was four
hundred and fifty dollars in cash, and
Long claims that it was forcibly taken
from him in the saloon named by sew
eral men, of whom he claims Cold
strom was tie leader.
The matter was reported to Chief
Clemans about five O'Clock, and he at
once detailed six officers on the case.
Two parties were soon arrested, but
Long said they were not the right peo-
pie, and they were released from Gus
tody.
Later Assistant Lookup Keeper
Buckley arrested "Budzie" Meyers, and
he was very promptly identified by Mr..
Long as a man who met him at Twelfth
and Water streets and took him UP to
Goldstrom's where he asked him to
buy a drink. Long cheerfully acqtli-
esced, according to his statement, but
when he came to pay for it exhibited
a big roll of money, which was the pro-
ceeds of an Adams Express order he
had received during the afternoon and
had cashed. Long then said Meyers
induced him to go up stairs in the
building, and that on the second floor
several men attacked and "downed'
him, taking his money from him.
When Meyers was brought to the
City Hall Chief Clemans questioned
him. The Chief was busy sending out
a bunch of postal cards on another case
at the time while Meyers sat in the
Office. The Chief was preoccupied, and
when he looked up Meyers had gone.
The Chief ran through the outer office
into the hall, and was fortunate enough
to catch Meyers and brought him back.
Later he was locked up.
A little later Lieutenant Michaels ar
rested Goldstrom and Long was taken
to see the prisoner. He picked Gold
strom out at once from several other
men and said he was the main man In
the robbery. A third man, who Is
badly wanted, made himself scarce,
and at late hour last night had not
been located by the police.
Meyers, Goldstrom and Long were
all taken before Justice Rogers, who
held the first two in $500 bond for a
hearing at ten o'clock tomorrow
morning. Goldstrom furnished bail,
and was released from custody. Long
was also detained as witness, being
sent to jail. He stated to the Justice
that he was due to go home at once,
and frankly said that if he was not
locked up he would leave town. The
Justice asked him if he would not re-
main over until Monday if allowed his
liberty, but he said he would not, and
as a result he went to jail.
The hearing tomorrow will doubt
less be a very interesting one, as the
amount involved is large. In the
meantime the police will endeavor to
pick up the missing man to the trans
action, and it is possible that still
other arrests will be made

It is said that the La Belle coal
mines, which have been idle for the
past three years, will be started up
about the first OF the coming month.
According 10 reports the La Belle Iron
Company is preparing to open up the
mines in view OF the expected advance
in the price of natural gas. While the
gas may be taken from the steam boil
ers, its use about the plant will not be
discontinued entirely. Ii will require
