Everything is very quiet in our town
IN the way of news of any description,
although business is in a very flourish
Ing condition, and many of the threshing
crews that have been temporarily laid
OH by the recent rains are still with us
AIDING to the lively appearance of the
streets and stores. The grain having
dried out considerably, several of the
crews start today to finish the work they
mad In hand when the storm came. One
popularity of the season. that is excit-
ing considerable is the alb
sence SO far of a killing frost. The flow
er gardens are as lovely with blossoms
at the present time as they are in
August, and the summer has been Won
derfully heightened by his fact. We
40 not, as a rule, drift from our regular
summer to indian summer until after
vegetation has been blighted by the
cold and this is a change in the system
that is much enjoyed by all with the
hope that it will continue for some time
yet.
The political situation seems to be
signify muddled in the Gallatin, that is,
SO far as the two wings of democracy
are concerned. In the absence of dis
cusslon as to the n outcome, or any
as to the possible action of
the dissatisfied element in the party, no
correct guess is possible as to what will
be done. Primaries will be doubtless
called for Thursday, when an oppor-
tunlty will be given those who thin that
another state, n county ticket should
De put up hat will more nearly meet
their IDEAS, and indications point to such
action on their part, yet there is no one
who will publicly make any remark to
this effect. Taken altogether democracy
In the Gallatin is in a bad way, and it's
defeat at the polls a foregone con-
cluSion.
Fred Wilson, son of Gen.. L. S. Wilson,
Will leave in a day or two for New York,
whre he will continue his stdies in Column
bia college. Fred will come home one of
these fine days a full-fledged architect
and we expect great things of him in
that line.
l.. D. Howard, who was at the key
at the Upper Geyser Basin hotel during
the park season, returned home Satur-
day. He says that the park travel was
great this year and that he has been
promised a promotion for next year to
the Lake hotel station, which is consid-
erred a more desirable post.
r. Prof. and Mrs. H. G. Phelps, who spent
49, NAAAAH "l Noi AK nave
home, the park season having closed.
Prof. Phelps has taken charge of his de-
partment at the college and will see to it
that competent stenographers and book
keepers are prepared under his super
vision in such manner that life may
come easy to them after graduation.
Hans Knutson, one of the sufferers in
the recent fire at Belgrade, is in the city
making arrangements to rebuild. This
time he will use brick, as something that
will not go up in smoke on such short
notice as a we'll dried frame building has
a habit of doing when given a chance.
Nj. knutson's loss was mostly OF stock in
trSde and he proposes to make good that
loss by doing a larger business in the
future.
Lieutenant Thomas Cooney of Helena
and Victor E. Tull of Seattle, returned
from the coal measures in the West Gal
latin Basin where they put in several
days looking over the ground and laying
plans for operations that are to begin
soon in that locality.
James McNulty is over from Contact
to spend a few days vacation after a sea-
sons hard work on his mines in that
promising camp. He says hat his Sec
ton is the best for miners anywhere in
the state, the pressing need being a rail-
road. and he has hopes that even this
deficiency may be made up soon.

Mrs. r. F. May, who has been in Chi
cago for some months, returned home
Friday. The malady with which she has
been suffering has entirely disappear
ed under the skilled medical treatment
she underwent while away, and she is
now in better health than for years past,
much to the qualification of her man,
friends in the city and valley.
