RALLY
COL. CUSTER BRINGS NEW FEAR
& TO THE ENEMY,
PROSPECT BETTER EVERY DAY.
Democrats Looking for the Sign on
Their Candidates, Who "Also
Ran" for Election.

Bozeman Oct. Is.
The town was out in -forve tonight, the
occasion being a republican rally at the
opera house, at which Colonel Custer
was the chief speaker. He has been
here before and has gained quite a
reputation as an orator, one that the
people like to hear as. often as he will
consent to address them. The meeting
was enthusiastic, there is no ~discounting
tina Each meeting seems to call for
about double the cheering n interest
that the preceding one did, and if they
keepup the democrats can console them
selves with the reflection that they had
candidates who also ran," and that is
the extent of the satisfaction they will
be able to extract from the campaign
this year. Never in the history of any
community has such a change of senti-
ment taken place as has been the case
in this city within the past two weeks,
and the way it continues most of the
democratic candidates are scared to
death at the drubbing they see is in
store for them at the polls, and are wish
ing that it was all over BY the APP
plication of a little patience they will
state Of affairs and then their lot will
not appear SO hard as it does at the
present time.
The Independent democrats invaded
the quiet burg of Chestnut Saturday
night, and held the first of their meet
ings. 1t is reported by one enthusiastic
member of the Grove that as many as
leo residents of the camp We're in at
dan also seven republicans Con-
sidering the fact that this camp is
credited with holding the balance of
power, there will be a first class OPP
%portunity for shrewd guessers to go on
record as to which way it will go after
the vote has been counted
'"The Breezy Time" company played to
an average house. Saturday hight. The
fun began when the curtain went up.
and did not lag from that time until
the end. OF the performance it may be
said that it is fully up to the average
as a laugh producer, for which it is in
tended, and those that %patronize it will
get their moneys worth.
Quite a few enthusiastic huntsmen,
logged out in the necessary hunting
in.the way of rapid fire shot guns, leg
gings, etc.. left town Sunday morning
bound for the hills and %outlaying points
in the valley in quest of game. The
majority of them returned early in the
evening looking fatigued after their
days tramp, but in most cases could
console themselves with the reflection
that they would have been more tired
if they had had to carry a well filled
game bag home. In short, the sport did
not materialize, and empty game bags
were the rule, not the exception.
The young lady students at the COL
lege are soliciting funds for the pur-
pose of furnishing a room at the college
to be used as a sort of reception and
meeting room, and will be used for re-
ceptions n also as a place of meeting
of the students to pass odd hours in
each others society. The purpose is a
laudable one, n the young ladies will
meet with but little trouble in securing
the necessary sum.
BoZeman has been billed for no less
a three political meetings for the
coming week, and in addition to these
attractions we are to lave THE Fast
Mail and the opera lei Captain" If
these are not enough to keep the blood
in circulation and furnish a medium for
killing a few evenings, what more can
we ask. We will miss this wild old
time we are having nov when it comes
to a sudden stop after the sixth of mex
month, but sincerely hope that before
the end comes we will be favored with
a one nights stand of that expensive
aggregation of talent touring under the
ownership of the liberal and OPEN
handed fusionists, and our season will
be spoiled if they are not sent this way.
The College Exponent, a publication
gotten out by the students of the Mon
tana State college, it is said, will soon
appear for the term. AS usual it will
be devoted to the interests of the col
lege and those who are enrolled at that
institution as students.
The renovation of the Hotel Bozeman
is about completed, and the difference
in it's appearance only emphasizes the

long time. 1t now looks like a clean,
comfortable and ably managed hosiery,
such as it actually is under the efficient
management of the present lessee, Mr..
J. ] Kelley The hard name the place
bore was largely the result Of the utter
building in the matter Of repairs, and
reflected greatly upon the management.
This being now obviated the hotel will
take rank as n Of the best in the state.
The pastors of our churches have all
returned from their summer vacations,
greatly benefited by a respite from
their labors, and the attendance in all
the churches in the city is exceedingly
satisfactory. Every congregation shows
IA increase of membership, and work
in the Lords vineyard progresses with
renewed zeal and activity
From Coroner r. R. Finley who re-
turned Monday night from Cameron's
Bridge, where he had gone to
hold an inquest over the remains of
Mrs. Theresa Prelatt, who had ended
her life by hanging herself, it was
learned that the old lady, who had pass
ed her Gath a has been mentally I'M
sound for the past ten years., the cause
being the accidental killing of her hus-
band. who lost his life by being caught
under a loaded wagon that tipped over
on him. Since that time Mrs. Prelatt
has never been quite right mentally. She
