The BulIard Concert.

The concert given at Culver's hall
last Wednesday evening by the Bull
lard family was fairly well attended,
though the house should have been
filed. 1t was probably the best local
musical entertainment ever given
here, the first part being especially
pleasing.
When the curtain was raised twelve
performers on various instruments
composed the semtcircle, and II IL
safe to say the audience was agree
ably surprised by the character Of the
music rendered, considering that most
OF the performers IRE amateurs and
had practiced but little together.
The Billiard family. which consists
OF seven performers on various kinds
Of Instruments, was assisted by other
local musicians, the whole compos-
ing an orchestra Of great possibili-
ties and one which. with constant
practice, would soon be the equal Of
any In the state. Without stopping
to partieularlze, weglve the program

II. r. Watson, OF the ARGUS, ac-
companied by his mother, returned
from Washington yesterday. They
reached Lombard on the Northern
Pacific last Saturday, but failed to
make connections owing to the n. p.
train being four hours late. Rather
than stay over Sunday at Lombard
they went on to Helena where they
remained until Monday morning.
They came In from Ubet by private
conveyance.
The Stuttz Theatre Company has
suddenly come to grief in Flathead
county, judging from the following
item clipped from the Inter Lake,
published at Kalispell: "When the
Stuttz Theatre Co. left Kalispell a
number Of the actors were left here
and the company was filled up with
people the manager picked up around
town. The actors who were left be.
hind assigned their claims to one OF
the number, Miss Mamie s. Hogan,
and an attachment on the company's
effects vas levied at Libby. The
case was up for trial before Justice
Billings ON Tuesday, and the jury
brought In a verdict for the plaintiffs
for the amount claimed, $780,"
John d. Waite was subjected to
considerable nagging and joshing
during the past week, which he took
good-naturedly. 1t appears that ex.
United States Marshal VIM. McDer.
mott, In his testimony before the
senate committee on elections, testi.
fed as to giving certain parties vari.
GUS sums OF money, naming those
whom he had favored. Among them
was one Jack Waite, whom he had
given $50. Fortunately there Ia an.
other Jack Waite In this state who,
we understand, was at one time a
deputy marshal under McDermott
and who gained a little notoriety In
the roped arena. or course the friends
OF our ex-sheriff could not believe that
he held his influence 80 cheaply, and
on this point the ioshers worked on
both the day and night shift. The
chances r the other Jack Waite re.
allied considerable more for his serv,
ices, for he is reputed to be a high
roller.

A Baltimore County Boy Killed in Bat
tle.-Among those reported killed in battle in
the Philippines, as given in dispatch from
Manila dated September Goth, was Charles Ray
DeBaugh, son of Mr.. Philip A. DeBaugh, of
Cub Hill, Hartford road. He was member
of Company L. 10Th Infantry. The dispatch
giving an account of the battle says:
: September 18th, Capt. David d. Mitchell,
Fifteenth Infantry. with number of men of
Company l., from Siniloan, Laguna Province,
attacked Insurgent General Cables, who had
800 men in position at Mavitac, same province.
Desperate fight ensued, which was pushed
from the front with great pertinacity by Nit
chell across causeway and through water waist
deep; cooperative attack under Capt. George
f. Cooke, with 40 men from Company f.,
Fifteenth Infantry, and 10 men from Com
pany B, Thirty.seventh Volunteer Infantry
could not reach enemy's position because of
high water in arm OF lake, which could not be
crossed. Entire country was afloat in conse-
auence of recent rains. This very much I'M
peded offensive action
after an hour and 20 minutes of fighting
the command withdrew to Siniloan. Upon
renewed of operations on the 18th, Mitchell
found that the insurgents had escaped from
Mavitac the previous night, most of them no
doubt going back into contiguous barrios to
appear as amigos for the time being, or until
called into the field again."
In the engagement officers and 100 men
we're killed. Mr.. DeBaugh has another son in
the army in the Philippines, but nothing has
been heard from him since the reported death

term of the Circuit Court, before its adjourn
ment on the 2sth of September, made its re-
port to the court through its foreman, Mr.. w.
Evans Anderson. The report says:

only too prevalent in this county during the
past few years.
THE taxpayers are to be congratulated upon
the financial condition of the county, and the
promising opportunity before them of dis
charging the vast Indebtedness which has ac-
cumulated.1 1--WE recognize that this iSIiot on y

borrow any money whatever from any bank
or any source"

Two Interesting Events.-Seven years ago
the seven attractive daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
James A. Gary were unmarried With the
close of the year but one of the septet will re-
main in state of celibacy, though there are
rumors that this may not be for long. Two
weddings, but not double wedding will be
celebrated this fall. These events will be
among the most fashionable and interesting of
the season. Both of the brides elect are ex-
ftremely popular both in Baltimore and in
Washington, where, during their fathers term
as Postmaster General, they were among the
most noticed in the Cabinet circle.
Early in November Miss Jessie Gary will be
married to Mr.. Van Lear Black only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Crawford Black. Some time
during the latter half of the same month Miss
Lillian Gary will wed Mr.. Robert Taylor, of
New York, a former resident of Gainesville.
Their engagement has been matter OF several
years standing.
The other daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Gary
are Emma. now Mrs. Harold Randolph /;
Minnie, DOW Mrs. Henry Pratt james; Adelaide,
the wife of Eugene lowering, Jr.; Ida, who
married Francis E. Pegram, and Miss Madeline

Plan for Recognizing the Milk Pro-
ducers' Association.--The executive COM
mittee of the United Milk Producers Associa-
ton and the special committees recently ap-
pointed to represent the shippers along the
railways that carry milk, held meeting on
Friday, oSth inst, to consider the question of
recognizing the association. Among others,
Mr.. Francis T. Homer proposed plan of re-
organization which, after some discussion, was
unanimously approved by the committees. A
feature of Mr.. Homer's plan is the practical
winding up of the present business and pay
ing off all its Indebtedness and then making
an entirely new start. A meeting OF stock
holders will be called very shortly to take ac-
ton on the plan of reorganization proposed by
Mr.. Homer and approved by the committees.
The associations business is now being carried
on by the receivers appointed some weeks ago,
viz, Messrs. Theodore Wilcox and William B.

Col Taylor's Postal Card.-U. S. District
Attorney Rose is investigating case of an al.
legged slanderous postal card sent through the
mail to Col. Benjamin +. Taylor, one of the
Commissioners for Baltimore county, and pur-
ported to be signed by D. Homberg. The card,
while acknowledging that Col. Taylor is en-
deavoriDg to suppress slot machines accuses
him of practically sanctioning gambling at
Westport, 18th district, and intimates further
that Colonel Taylor is receiving rake-off from
the gambling. Colonel Taylor's fellow Com
missoners have also received postal cards con-
tanning illusions to gambling in the county,
but made no charges against them. Homberg
was summoned before the grand jury last
week when be denied absolutely having either
written or sent the postal, or having anything
to do with it.

Perry Hail. 18th District.-The annual
meeting of Germantown Building Association
was held in its rooms at Myers store, on Mon
day evening, October LIST. The secretary sub
mitted his semiannual report, showing that
the dividend was not as great as in the past,
mostly due to the little demand for money
lately, although it nearly reached per cent.
for the half year. The receipts for the past
six months exceeded those of similar periods in
former years. The following persons were
elected officers of the association, to serve the
ensuing year President, John c. Halbert; vice
president, Philip Reichert; secretary, Robert H
Blackburn treasurer, David De Gruchy di.
rectors, Joseph Kraft, Henry Mohr, Richard
Myers, Jacob Winkler, William P. Beale, Bart
Seidel, Bernard Myers and John Vogt The
association has a membership of over 200
more than half of whom were present and
took lively interest in the proceedings of the
meeting.
More than four times as many copies of THE
UNION than any other county paper come to
Perry Hall postoffice and l believe this is gen
orally true of all the postoffices throughout
this section ofthe county. This tells its own
story. PERRY.
