and Taken Into Hotel Dining
Roor1 - Always Had

Near town which is less than a hum
dred miles from Butte there lives man
who is mourning the loss of pet parrot
that seemed to be the idol Of his heart.
The man in question is an old settler
in Montana and has accumulated con-
Siderable wealth here and as money

cumulatcd among other things a par
rot.
After Polly came into the household
there was nothing too good for him. He
was always given a position in the front
room of the home and fed on the dan-
ties that best suited his palate.
When his master and mistress jour-
ncyed away from their own fireside
Polly WAS invariably member of the
migrating party.

At the hote,s where the owner of the
bird stopped Polly was Il guest. In the
dining room at meal time he was on
hand and through the long hours of the
day and evening he made strange sur
rounding seem homelil-e to his master
and mistress.
one day the owner Of Polly got to
thinking about What wou'd become of
his pet in case lie should die before the
bird gave up his merry ways in life.
The result was that the cid man has

told him that he wanted Il will draw up.

ELkS ARE GALLANT
OFFER THEIR HALL TO THE
WoMAN'S CLUB.
IT IS ACCEPTED WITH THANKS
Ladies Are Much Pleased to Have
More Ample Quarters-Murphy
Triplets Of Centerville
Are Recognized.

At a meeting of the WOman's club
yesterday there was great rejoicing over
an offer that was made to the OrganlZa-
ton by the Elks' lodge of this city.
The tender, which came in the form
of letter, was the use OF the Elks'
hall on Wednesday afternoons for one
year. This was the way the letter read.
Mrs. A. H. Wethey, president of the
Woman,s club, Butte, Mont.-Dear
Madam: At a meeting of Silver Bow,
No. 24O, b. p. O. H., held last evening
it was unanimously voted to tender the
use Of our hall Wednesday afternoons
to your club for the period of one year

DIR. Haviand and Hon. NJ. p. Gill
christ We're appointed a committee to
confer with you regarding this matter
and to present this letter. This COM
mittee has full power to act for our
lodge and any arrangement you make
with it will he satisfactory to us.
Mrs. Wethey, the president, being alb
sent in Mexico, Mrs. r. w. BuZzo, the
first vice president of the club presided
yesterday.
The secretary's voice was drowned
by the cheers as the letter was read and
on motion of Mrs. j. r. Russell the Of
fer of the Elks was accepted with
thanks.

precia ted as the increasing membership
of the club has made the matter OF more

the house fund with the hope that a
new home might be built for the organ
ization.
ladies was first expressed by the execu-
tive committee of the lodge to Mrs. w.

PATROL WAGON MEN ILL.
Suffering From Colds Contracted at
the Barn.

Patrol Driver Jerry O'Rrisn is laid up
in bed with a severe cold.
Every man attached to the patrol
wagon service is either laid up or on
the verge of illness, owing to the ex-
posture to which they are subjected at the
shed used as patrol barn.
The shed is back of the Finlen hotel
and isn't, the police claim, fit for stock
shelter, let alone being place for men
and good horses to remain in this kind
of weather. T.
The city council is supposed to be
looking after the building of the new
patrol barn, but so far no progress has
been made.

Mayor Davey and Street Commits

aside West Galena street for the COAST

street cars. No hill has been selected as
yet on the east side, but it is likely that
Ohio avenue will be chosen.

Uncle Sans Dolls,

In the United States National museum
of dolls alone there are enough To give
any little girl reader new one every
day until she becomes TOO old to care
longer for them-ivory babies from
Alaska, dressed in little coats of deer
fu' to protect them from an arctic win
ter; South Sea Island puppets with
scarcely any clothes a all; Indian pa
poGses decked with beads and buckskin:
pink checked waxen beauties from Paris;
Acknowledged japanese in red kimenos:
black wooden images from the Congo;
and various other dolls fashioned from
cothespins, pine cones and cornhusks:
Some in rags
Some in tags,
And some in velvet gowns.
Uncle Sam is especially rich in Alas
kan dolls. Some of them are Of ivory,
no bigger than your thumb; but the
clothing is made with the greatest care
from the softest sealkin. trimmed with
beads and edged, with white hair from
the leg of the deer. Others are % feet
in height, and are carved from wood,
and equally well dressed, even to their
mittens, skin caps with ear flaps, and
their perfectly correct snOwshoes. Then
there are the dolls of the Zuni and the
Mouui Indians of Arizona and New
Mexico. These are brilliant and cheer
full gathering. Some are made of wood
and others of baked clay. and all are
painted in gaudy colors. Some among
them have real hair. done up IN funny
little knots above their ears. or In braids
with feathers and red flannel. One rep
resents a fire dancer. His body is
painted black and is spangled all over
with glistening tinsel. which makes him
appear as II he were covered with
sparks-From st. Nicholas.

MRS. KRuGER's DEATH.

The death at Pretoria, OF Mrs,
Kruger, which was announced a few
days ago. seems to have reklndled the
hope In certain circles in Great Britain.
that the Boer war will be brought to a
speedy termination. II Is supposed that
the loss sustained by the former presl'
dent OF the Transyaal will crush hls
heart and break his VIII, TO the extent
that he will submit TO the Inevitable
and give order to his commanders Ia

so far there has been no sign Of sub

The death OF Mrs. Kruger is undoubt-
edly another Of the sad consequences or
the war In Africa. She, together with
the wife OF the acting president schalk-
burger, was held a prisoner at Pretoria.
II is known that the British held in
various camps 277ll women and t3O15
children, besides H,62i men, and that
during the month Of June, GO men, 1873
women. and $40 children died In these
camps. These terrible figures Justify
the conclusion that Mrs. Kruger was
one Of the victims OF the concentrate
system. Queen Victoria. 1t was said,
was FASTENED 10 her grave by worry
over the African situation. No wonder,
II Mrs. Krugers constitution. too,
should give way under the terrible

The deceased was the second wife Of
the ex-president, the FIRST wife having
died after only a few months Of mar
rled life. She was somewhat younger
than her husband. She is described as
typical Boer woman, doing most Of
her own housework aud saving In the
extreme. She was the mother OF six
