1t is again proposed to secure the
water supply of Great Falls from the
Giant spring, thus dispensing with
the inhibition of tadpoles, articu-
lates and protozoans now going on
in that city. The citizens of that
place are consuming SO many of the
animalculac of the Missouri river
that it is said the mud turtles of that
celebrated stream are starving to
death. The people should have TAX

A duty Of the republican conven-
ton which meets in Great Falls
next week will be to nominate good
men to the various offices-men in
whom the people trust-and then to
go before the people squarely on
merit. The people want no Clark
Helnze machlnation, no DAILY Hyams
domination. The intrigues of democ-
racy should be ignored in all their
multiphase hideousness; and then a
strong ticket nominated of clean,
honest, representative men. After
such a course, there is no doubt as
to the auspicies, and the November
score will show winning ticket
from top 10 bottom. The democrat

general attention, when democrats
everywhere know that would be
Senator Clark is gold bug, and
that he is willing to be anything
else to crafty his vaulting ambition.

Some of the self contituted lead
ers of democracy in Neihart before
this campaign is ended will turn out
to be quite small fish, and the big
fish will do the rest. But then hav-
ing no interest in the matter, we
really have no interest in tie matter.

1t is gravely limited in the alleys
that Neihart will in one convention
or another present one candidate for
sheriff, ore for commissioner and
one for representative in the assem-
bly,. The first the town doesn't
need. The second on the contrary
is most desirable one, provided a
good man is named. The third
would also be a desideratum, but
not so great as that of the office of
commissioner. For the good of the
district we should prefer the com
missioner, but an able, honest and
earnest legislator-not like the 9th.
er one-could do much for the good
of the miner.

play is hardly more than series OF bal

excellent throughout giving evidence of
the most careful training and the two
principal dancers, Amelia Maveroffer and
H1lda Macoari, easily rank among the
best OF their cl ass, winning great favor in
their toe solos, their movements through
out being light and agile. The panto-
mime tricks were nearly all good and
Richard L. Brown as a comedian and
mimic scored a decided success, The
Clements sisters gave a clever little sketch
and novelty was introduced by Irene
and Zaza in contort1onist turn 'sThe
Girl With the Dog With the Auburn

the audience. Among the speciality stars
worthy OF special mention are 'sThe
Three Brothers Leando, whose acrobat

dolls especially took the fancy of the
spectators, the hidden bells giving out
music which was indeed catchy. A de- |
