RUMBLES OF THE RAIL.
Butte May Have Hanson Cab Ser
vice in the Near Future.

The Salt Lake Tribune states that the
Oregon Short Line company has in view
the establishment of a modern hanson
cab service in Salt Lake for the accom-
mediation of travellers, and that similar
service may he established by the COM
pany in other western cities in which it
is doing business.
It is understood that a service of this
character has been established In some
of the principal cities of the East and
that it is self-suppOrting.
The hansoms are principally for station
use, but they call at residences for pas
sengers, being used the same as a hack.
Vice President Bancroft of the Oregon
Short Line says the matter relative to
Salt Lake has been talked over but Moth
ing definite decided upon.
He expresses the belief that If the
scheme is adopted the public and railroad
company will be well pleased With the
result, as it will be a great convenience
for both.
AS to the possibility for the establish
ment of the system in Butte nothing has
yet been said, but if it is established in
Salt Lake and proves to be success
there it is quite likely that Butte will be
the next point of establishment.

known for strictly up-to-date stock in
it's several lines.
The dress goods department is in
charge of Mr.. Gravelle, who is noted all
over Montana for his taste as well as
good judgment in dress goods.
The gentleman's furnishings, hats and
shoes are under the supervising care of
Mr.. Case, whose reputation for elegant
taste in neckwear and furnishings is sec
ond to no mans anywhere. For rich
ness and elegance the shirts, underwear
and neckwear of this firm is known to all
swell dressers in Montana.
A special feature Of this store, and one
which has largely increased the general
volume of it's business and made it
favorite store for ladies. is the depart
ment for ready-made suits and wraps
for women. The rule here is to have
everything good 1t must be good,
good in style, in material. in make. in
coloring before it is admitted to a place
in the stock. Even the lowest-priced
goods must stand those tests. The re-
suit is that the firms patronage in this
department is simply enormous.
Linens and domestics form depart
ment which is presided over by Z. NJ
Ford, the firms right-hand employee,
who also looks after the advertising of
the house, the most important subor-
dinate position today in any business
concern. Mr.. Ford recently took a trip
to the linen markets abroad. and this
week he is showing some very tempting
price results of his visit to headquarters
and dealing direct with the manufac-
turers.
The members of the firm are being
greeted on all sides this week with con-
gratula tons and good wishes. and thou
sands are taking advantage of the Tenth
Anniversary Gala Week Profit-shar
ing Sale, which will continue till the store
closes Saturday night.

MAGUIRE'S THEATER FILLED.
''The Wrong Mr.. Wright" Pleases a
Large Audience OF Butte People.

"The Wrong Mr.. Wright" as pre-
scented at Maguire's Grand Opera
house last evening. pleased large and
refined audience. There was not i duh
line in the lay from start to finish.
and the house will, If Butte people APP
preciate good thing, be crowded
Monday and Tuesday evenings. the re-
naming nights of the engagement
Harry Beresford is, of course, the
central light around which the other
characters of the play revolve, and all
of them are good. True, not all of the
players have lines as strong as those
accorded the star, but all of them make
the most of their opportunities, and
the various scenes and situations are in
teresting in the extreme.
William T. Townsend presents the
conventional English lord in an en-
tirely different manner from which he
is generally portrayed on the Ameri-
can stage, and makes a decided hit in
the character of Lord Brazenface.
All in all, the play is one we'll worth
seeing, especially by those persons who
are not feeling right, and want to
laugh without effort.

HIS IDENTITY NOT KNOWN.
No One Recognizes a Nan Who Ended
His Life With Pistol.

Coroner Johnson is trying to establish
the identity of an unknown man who
committed suicide Sunday evening in
the rear of PA East Park street. The
body was found in shed at the back
of the house by j. w. Cox.
A revolver was lying alongside of the
corpse and examination showed that
shot had been fired, evidently with suici-
dial intent. Tho bullet passed through
the roof of the mouth and penetrated
the brain.
The coroner learned that the man had
stopped at the Butte hotel but had
given no name. He claimed to have
come from Jerome, Ariz., where he
worked at the United Verdi mine. !
The man IS thought to have been "a
Frenchman. He was 6 feet tall, weighed
about zoo pounds, wore small brown
mustache, and his hair was turning

MORE ON MINING CONGRESS.
Further Discussion Of Question Likely
at Business Mems Meeting.

At a meeting of the Business MEMS
association to be held this evening a
further discussion with reference to the
holding of the mining congress in Butte
is likely to take place.
Since the last meeting of the body
committees have been at work among
business men of the city collecting
money and securing guarantees to sub
scriptions for the mining congress.
The committees, it is said, have had
fair success and will make reports this
evening that are likely to throw light
on just what may be expected from the
business men of the city in the way
of financial help for the congress.
II think we are going to win out on
this congress proposition all right" de-
clared prominent business man this
morning. 1.-The reputation of the city
is at stake, the committee that was sent
to Boise having extended such an in
vitation as it did to the congress to
meet here.
II think that the business men of
Butte can lily afford to allow any de-
fault in this matter as it now stands
and I don't think they are going to fail
to support the good name of the city,"

Miss Jones and Her Troup Well Re-
ceived at New Sutton Theater.

Headed by Miss Jones. better known
as Black Patti, a company of colored
performers interested and amused a
fair sized audience at the new Sutton
theater last evening.
Miss Jones captured the audience
with the sweetness and range of her
voice and was repeatedly encored. The
musical features throughout were 4
good, the singing by the quartet being
especially we'll received. The melody
effects in the operate selections in
which all took part We're fine. /
While the speciality features may not
have been altogether remarkable, they
pleased the audience, especially the
cake walk. John Rucker, with mouth
that seemed to cover half his face, af-
forded much merriment, and Mack AL
len did some clever slack wire work.
After the first part the orchestra at
tracted particular attention by playing
a selection called "The BangtOWn Cross
Roads Orchestra" which was laughable
in the extreme.
There will be a repetition of the per-
Torrance this evening.
