whether the News aud Courier can
arouse an enlightened public senti-
ment sufficiently strong to compei
the banishmens of the cows or will
be defeated by the people who keep
cows for the profit derived from the

filthy COW stables breed disease and
the neigbborhood becomes unfit tor
human habi,ation, while the milk
from the cows so crowded and mis-
used is positively dangerous. The
cows become diseased, many OF them
developing tuberculosis, aud those
who drink milk from cows thus dis
eased are taking the shortest posi-

COW nuisance and the arguments ad-

ucational and business world. The Wo-
mans club of Butte is but two years
old, she said, but it has a membership
of 125 and is the strongest and most
influential club in the state. Mrs.
Christie said the clubs influence would
be felt in the social life of Butte ana
it was their hope to see the city MADE
a place where people would like to build
homes and raise their children. The
special ambition of the club is to build
a, club house in the city, which snail
stand forever as a monument to the
progress oc women. It is the hope or
the club to have a home where the
workingw0r of the city will always
find a welcome and good books and
good companionship, and the latch
strings of whose doors shall be always
out to visiting women and to the hus-
bands, brothers sWeethearts and friends
of the members of the clubs.
Among the other excellent things on
the evenings programme was a recita-
ton about Colonel Browns Haircut
by Mrs Holbrook: Il vocal duet by Mrs.
Price and Mrs. .F'lavin, a piano solo by
Miss Robinson, a baritone solo by Mrs.
Hamilton vocal solo by Mrs. F. NJ. kel-
H. and a double trio, composed of Mrs.

"TOOUR SILENT PARTNERS"

The Womans club of Butte held a
reception last night at the club rooms
in the Presbyterian Church building.
The reception was given 10 the hus-
bands and brothers of the club mem
bers and a number of invited friends
and principally with the object Of let
ting the invited men know how women
can manage such affairs and also to
show them what talent there is among
the club members. The affair was in
every respect a success and most cred
liable TO the club. Several hundred
were present and they were delightful
ly entertained with music and speeches
and a luncheon afterwards. Mrs. Buz-
20, president of the club, presided. The
first speech was made by Mrs. Collier,
who gave a witty talk on our Silent
Partners" and the treated the hus-
bands with much consideration and
kindness.
Mrs A c. Newill talked about The
Press" and deprecated the tendency Of
a certain class of newspapers to great
er ''yellowism." While there may be a
demand for that class of news" she

newspapers. Mrs. NcWill paid tribute
to the newspaper workers and said The

no higher science that that. and when

Mrs. w. J. Christie, who spoke about
The Club Woman" She told about the
origin of the women's club movements
in New York in 1868 and the Organiza-

PELTED A KING TO BE.
One of Many Incidents Indicating What
Norwegian Sentiment Is.

The recent spectacle of Crown Prince
Gustaf lodging snowballs thrown by
Norwegian partisans and the refusal of
60 members Of the storthing to attend
reception given by the prince to that
body, have famed into fierce heat the
feeling between Norway and Sweden.
Christiana has begun to be tremulous.
Portions of the Swedish press again in
innate that King Oscar has been alto
gether too lenient with the Norwegian
subjects and that the young blood of
the crown prince. as he awakes to his
full dignity will bring the offenders to
a correct realization of their status in
the union of the north Scandinavian
of Chicago comes forward with a con-
servative, though elaborate editorial
advocating "A New Skandinavisme,"
or, in other words, new compact with
mutual understandings between the
three separate peoples of the ancient
regime.
The old Skandinavisme. Carl
Ploug's woked for consolidation of
the three divided stems of the north
His ringing speeches seemed to sink
down deeply into the hearts of the
young generation, but Denmark, when
