Margaret Theatre Crowded From Pit to Dome
TO Hear Republican Doctrines Well Pre-
Magnificent Meeting.
WALSH AND WEED SPEAKERS
HEAVY RAIN DID NOT AFFECT THE CHEERING AUDiENCEDEER
LODGE COUNTY ENTHUs ASTIC FOR REPUBLICAN
SUCCESS =:

The elements acted badly last night.
The wind came down the canyon above
the city at a great rate, and the preci-
pltation from the clouded sky was
heavy, but that did not dampen the
ardor of the republican hosts which
filled the Margaret theater from pit to
dome to hear Hon. c. ]. Walsh and Hon.
=. u. Weed discuss the issues of the
campaign. 1t was truly a republican
night, there was great outpouring Of
people. The Butte Flambeau club was
here and paraded the streets, headed
by Bryant's brass band. They made a
good showing, but if it had not been
for the rain there would have been a
great crowd in line. Even as it was
many patriotic followers of prosperity
braved the storm and got in line. The
f1ambeau squad carried sky rockets with
them, which were exploded all along the
line of march, while red fire Illuminated
the streets on every corner.
One of the speakers, Hon. e. D, Weed.
did not reach Anaconda until after 8
O'Clock, and then only after long and
tiresome ride overland from Garrison.
Mr.. Weed arrived at the latter point on
belated Northern Pacific train only
TO hnd that the train he expected to
make connections with had departed,
But he was determined to get here some
way. so he hired the swiftest team he
could get en- route and made the trim in
about four hours.
Mr.. Walsh did not expect to touch on
national issues, but owing to the un-
certainty Of the time when Mr. Weed
would arrive he prolonged his speech
and took the occasion to land a few

Well received and frequently applauded
TO the echo. His speech on local issues
undoubtedly did lots of good; he gave
his hearers an abundance Of plain facts
to carry home with them and think
about. He asked them If they wanted
a continuance of the disgraceful scenes
that were enacted in the legislature in
the past, or if they wanted the state
redeemed and clean business-like ad-
ministration conducted by the repub-
licans.
MI. WalSn at one time In his speech
warned his populist hearers that they
had sounded their death knell, that they
had dug their political grave by their
fusion with one wing of the democratic
party. Dennis O'Leary, present city
alderman and candidate for the legis-
lature who occupied front seat in the
audience, seemed to be suited with the
remark of the speaker and called out

'"The Taotai has applied to the con-

is that they possess progressive ideas.

HEALTHFUL ON MOUNTAINS.

It is we'll known that the chemical
composition of the atmosphere differs
but little. if at ALL wherever the sample
be taken; whether it be on the high
Alps or at the surface Of the sea, the
relation of oxygen TO nitrogen and
other constituents is the same. says the
London Lancet. The favorable effects.
therefore. of a change of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion Of its gaseous constituents.

OUR COAL PRODUCTION.
America Has Mining Advantages
Not Possessed by Great

After the lapse of century OF ac-

tons Of coal have been extracted from

the high prices hitherto prevailing
are absolutely required 10 meet the
expenses of production and transpor-
tation. for now il is necessary 10 go
deeper into the ground for the coal.
Thinner seams have been worked, the
more attractive deposits naNiag been
exhausted. All the entries now are
long, comparatively few new mines
having been opened in Great Britain
