Belt, Sept. Especial CORES
pondence of the Herald.) John Fors-
berg, the gentlemanly mixologist at
Polutnik's Arcade, accompanied by
Frank Polutnik, jr,, are out at Davis
creek on a hunting trip. They will
remain a week or SO, and then return
with a load of experience and hard
luck stories, and a game-bag full of
wind.
Mrs. d.. Spogan is visiting with
friends and relatives in Sand Coulee.
Louis Goslin of Barker was in the
camp over Sunday on business.
LOUIS smiling face is always well

New jackets in all styles. Their
big cloak department is filed with
the best things ever seer in jackets,
capes, and children's garments, at
Strain Brothers.
Patrick McAnelly, father of the
attorney, was taken with a sinking
spell Sunday, and for awhile his life
was despaired of, but he has since
recovered till his physicians consider
him out of danger.
Jas. Greedy of Great Falls and
Martin Greedy of Monarch were in
the city Tuesday on their way to the
mountains. They said they were
going for game, but to a man up a
tree it looks as if it was democrats.
Miss Alta Rash, one of the most
popular young ladies' of Belt left to-
day for Neihart, where she will re-
side in future, her father having loo
ated there. Her many friends are
sorry to see her leave, and she will
be missed from the social circle here.
Will Goodman, who has been at
the hospital in Great Falls under
treatment for pneumonia, and who
returned thence recently, has taken
a relapse, and is now at the Bate
man house, a very sick man. His
many friends wish him a speedy re
covery.
The CT. Falls daily Leader is now
delivered in Belt every evening at
6 O'Clock by special carrier. This
makes quite a metropolitan town out
of the coal camp, and containing the
Belt news daily, it is virtually a Belt
evening daily. And yet they say us
coal diggers have no push to us.
Rebecca lodge, Olive Branch No.

ing worked a bond and lease of the
Goodenough, Blackhawk and Comet
lodes. The claims belong to Ole
Grondal, and the bond and lease is
held by Matt Sand, John Portlun,
Gus Segeri, and Jacob Ola. 1t runs
for two years, and the bond is placed
at $4,000.
They have been working since
last April, and have driven a tunnel
20o feet on the Goodenough. The
last 30 feet of the tunnel has been in
pyritic copper, the ore body being
about six feet in width, reported to
run 30 per cent. They are now 1856
feet below the surface, and have
started sinking on the ore. They
have built a good road into the
district and are ready tc begin
hauling ore to Neihart. Over 500

Specimens of the ere from that
district are all that could be expect
ed in appearance. 1t looks as if the
strike is the biggest thing heard of
in this district for many a month.
The deposit is In a fssure between
granite and magnesia lime, and bids
fair to be permanent.

sic, both vocal and instrumental, and
recitation. After the entertainment
supper will be served, and the event
will wind up with a grand ball.
Captain Jensen was in Belt We'd
nnsday, and umo has it that he has
a political bee in his bonnet. The
captain would be willing and rather
would like his friends to place him in
nomination for the office of county
treasurer. This is a case, Cap,
where you should on suppliant knee
pray the Lord of the universe to de-
liver you from your friends. Having
served the country sc CALAMITY in its
hour of need, it would be a shame 10
place him on outpost duty when the
firing line of the republican party is
SO strong. This is a republican year,
Captain; better wait till the clouds
roll by.
Next Sunday evening at 7:30 at
the Baptist chur,h, Rev. Lewis will
deliver the first sermon in a series on
"The Recent C~orroborative Testimo-
MES to the Truth of the Bible" His
first sermon will be illustrated with
samples of Egyptian hieroglyphics,
and B~abylonian and Mesopotamian
cunelform inscriptions. Regardless
of religious belief, the lecture will
be well worth hearing. The Rev.
Lewis has just returned from his va
cation, having spent five weeks with
his family at Missoula, and is greatly
benefited by the rest and change.
Good audiences greeted him last
Sunday and his people now hope he
will be able to push on the good
work in Belt. AS there is plenty of
room, The Knocker wishes him alb
undant success, and an overlooking
contribution box.
The B. B. B. club, which stands
for either Belt base ball club, or
Belt broke and busted, was very dis
appointed that the Great Northern
team did not come out Sunday, and
play the scheduled game. A great
throng of patrons went to Island
park to see the game, but were com
PEELED to stand a couple Of hours of
torture watching the Has Beens and
the Never Will Bees cross bats. The
boys did their best to entertain the
crowd, but it lacked the interest of a
contest with an outside team.
On Saturday night the Belt club
gave a dance for the benefit of the
visitors, who made themselves con
spicuous by their absence, and the
dance was we'll attended. The mu-
sic, furnished qy the Walling Man
dolin club, was up to date. Every
one had a good time, and no pains
were spared to make the evening
pleasant. Whenever the Great Nor
thern club wants to play with Belt
again they will get the three N de-
gree, "Nit, not, now"

ANSWER.

Could you bpA read, my love, this heart Of mine,
You'd find . wondrous story written there;
1t is the tale my lips would frame to thee
II l but dare, il l but dare.
The tale Of one unto whose soul was borne
An angels whisper, soft as summers wind.
There Is a heart which heaven has made for thee
Go forth and end, go forth and find.
The tale Of one who wandered DER earth,
BY land and sea, by home and foreign shore,
Until into your eyes he gazed and knew
His search was DER, his search was DER.

Not an Indian,

Mrs. Fl. S. Boal, a daughter of VIII
liam r. Cody buffalo BID, lives at
a place in Wyoming which bears the
strange name of b. X. Ranch, Slack.
Among the curious questions put to
her by visitors are these:
II suppose you have a large collec-
ton of Indian scalps"
"Have you ever been scalped your
self?
"Do you keep buffalocs - domestic
petsT
Once, on the ranch, while she was
entertaining a foreign stranger, her
father rode by, and she said:
"'There goes Colonel Cody now"
The man looked at the hoYseman
long and a~nxiously.

Neihart Mercantile Go,

The boatman pushed off from the
shore, and slowly and noislessly the
skiff made its way across. No sound
above the gentle ripple at the boats
bow disturbed the silence of the even
ing. Suddenly the faint sound of q
bell stirred the air. 1t increased in
volume; then the note Of another bell
intermingled, then another and anoth-
er, until the melody of a full set of
chimes rose and fell In the evening
stiffness The boatman, who had rest
ed his oar to listen, turned to the old
man In the real of the boat and saw
him standing erect, his arms outstretch-
ed and his face wreathed in smiles of a
great gladness. His eyes were raised
to he sky with an expression of
thanksgiving. He continued in that at
titude until the last note Of the chimes
died away, and hen he fell in a heap
In the back Of the boat. The boatman
went to him and, laying his hand on
the face of the old man, felt that 1t
was cold.-New York Sun.

The kissing bug is the latest mechanical
toy the dealers Will have this fan. !
travelling man was in the city, yesterday
displaying his goods ana called one az
the down town tradesmen to his sample
room.
The storekeeper walked along beside
the tables where the goods were being
displayed ana could find but little to in
tercst him. The drummer dropped the
toy under the table and when the store
keeper looked down the TOW was started
for him fun tilt. There was no mtstakinc
it and the shop-keeper started back. He
had read about the kissing bug and he
did not intend taking any risks. Accord
ing TO his description the hug had the
same spotted back, the same humming
wings and the same ugly proboscis
While the storekeeper was hunting for
the door the travelling man picked the toy
UP and showed it to him. The toy is one
of the ugliest things yet to appear in the
market and is bound to be seller. With
that for starting point the travelling
man succeeded in securing a sood order
from his customer.
Mechanical TOYS will have the CALL thi,
year. again and some new ana novel
things are being shown. In addition
there is the regular line of toys ana

paign is so near there is slight prospect
that they will ever appear in the local
