Bozeman, Sept. 70.
The Royal Marine band of Italy, which
is billed to appear at the Opera House
tonight, gave an idea of what a band
can be when it knows it's business, by
marching up and down Main street. The
entire band with the exception of a few
s~ololsts, was out, and it is the first time
IN many years that such excellent
music was heard on the streets. We are
justly proud of our local players, but
truth compels the statement that they
are very far behind this aggregation of
small men from over the sea when it
comes to footing a horn.
Mrs. J. w. Tiltcn, who has been a
sufferer from Oma troubles for a long
time, is seriously ill at her home on
East Main street., and no Improvement
has been noted in her condition for
several days. An operation will prob
ably be necessary to afford her relief.
Mrs. G. w. ELLIS, wife of County Com
missioner Ellis, who has been on the
sick list for a long time, is not making
the progress toward recovery that has
been expected. She is still confined to
1.-THE house and her room.
The board of county commissioners
convened in special session this morn
ing and Will continue for two days. So
far nothing but road matters have been
brought up for consideration, quite
a few a that need more or less re-
pairing before winter sets in will receive
necessary attention before the weather
makes work In this line an impOSSibility.
Evangelist Mcconnell, who has been
trying to create interest in a sort of re-
vlval, has abandoned the project. He had
made arrangements to occupy the
court house for services, but for some
ltt1 son tha ottan1anon v-ac GO 1tr1,+ %l,ot
these meetings were given up and are
now held In private houses and are doing
we'll.
Ranchmen are now hauling in their
grain and disposing of it to the elevator
folks al fair prices. The men who put
IN their crops early and had them
threshed early are as a matter of course
uhe people that are doing this. Notwith-
Standln the very favorable Seson during
threshIng time, there is still consider
able grain to handle in the fields, and
1T Will be several weeks before all of it is
hnallly in condition to be marketed. The
crop has taken all by surprise, no one
eSpsotlng to hear of more than a fourth
or n usual yield. 1t seems that ever
the men who live On the ranches from
year to year are unable to tell exactly
what a given space will produce in a sea-
son, with or Without water, and in con-
sequence the surprises have been many
and IN the majority of cases very
gratifying at that.
There was no material addition to the
CITY the past season in the way of AID
ditional dwelling houses of moderate
size and modern construction and fitting.
Ihls is very apparent to new corners,
who are under the painful necessity of
renting any old thing in the way of a
house, and at prices that are staggering.
A good and c~ommodious flat would be
filled with desirablN tenants in no time,
but the fiat is wanting. Every house at
all desirable has been taken, and not a
few that cannot be classed under this
seekers after homes who cannot find
any.
The first political meeting of the sea-
son will be held ait TIRE Opera House
next Tuesday evening. and the Repub-
lican club is busily engaged making the
necessary preparations to insure a sue
cess. The principal speaker of the even
ing will be Hon. S. G.. Murray of Mis-
scuba, candidate for congressman, and
Hon. e. r. Hutchins of Helena will also
address those assembled. The MARCHING
club will make it's first appearance and
show hat the boys can do in the way
of fancy drilling and militry evulutions
of divers and sundry kinds. They are
now hard at the proposition of solving
the difference between hayfoot and
straWfoot, right-about, etc.
Jim Ponsford, who is the whole
thing as far as the independent demo-
Gratis are concerned, in this county, left
for Butte this afternoon, where he will
confer with the leaders of the new party
as to the best method by which he may
induce lively recruiting under the new
banner that will be flung to the politi.
cal breeze neXt week.
George BartZ, chief clerk In the post
office, who claims he has a brand or
several deer over in the BrIager county
left yesterday to kill them on sight
George being a good hunter, it is a safe
bet he brings home game, and won
have to buy it either.
