The last week in Butte has been one
in which prices on the various articles
of food consumed by both man and beast
have not fiuctuated to any great extent
This would indicate that the law of
supply and demand has been admins
tered in a manner satisfactory to the
shipper and buyer. There is one thins
however, on which the market is very
short and this shortness is not a recent
condition, it having covered a period or
about two months. 1t is bran. So far
as known, there is not a bushel of it in
the entire county, and there is no tell
ing when shipment will be received.
This bare announcement will probably
not interest many persons, because p.o-
pie do not eat bran, but when the stat
ment is added that the poor quality Of
milk which dairymen are furnishing
their customers is partly due to the fact
that the cows are not getting any bran
as food it may have tendency to lessen
the prevailing apathy on the subject.
Every dairyman who strives to sell his
patrons good milk feeds his cows a lib
eral quantity of bran each day in order
that the animals may yield a rich
product and in the absence of this class
of feed he is not a very happy mortal
Each of his customers hands him some
thing every day about the quality of
the contents of his cans. the more pro-
nounced ones broadly intimating that
his patronage of the ranch pump is not
appreciated. During the last week these
dairymen have been kept busy explain
ing the situation and telling how they
are trying to overcome the difficulty by
feeding the cows something as a substi-
tute for the rich Matchmaking bran. They
say they are feeding chopped barley.
chopped corn and alfalfa hay, but even
this combination has failed to accom-,
plish that which the bran alone accom-
plished

IN THE POLICE COURT.

Deedy Dodson, the colored woman who
was arrested on charge of robbing John
Osborn of sos, was released from custody
this morning. Osborne stated to the
chief of police that he had a good job
in the country which he would lose if he
stayed and prosecuted the woman. He
was willing to drop the case if the wom-
an would only return the money. She
agreed to the proposition but still stuck
to the story that she was innocent of the
theft. Osborn got the money and the
woman was released from Jail.
Charles Brown was arrested last night
on charge of assault and battery al

suit of this announcement.

SUIT DISMISSED.
Mrs. Young Failed to Secure the Ali
mony She Asked.

The hearing Of the order to show
cause why the defendant in the divorce
suit of Ida Young VS.. r. F. Young should
not be compelled to pay the plalntln
monthly allowance of money for the sup
port of herself and five children and
also pay her attorney for his work In
her behalf took place in Judge Clancy's
court to-day and resulted in a victory
for the defendant. The hearing devel-
oper rather a bad condition of affairs
in the Young family. Mrs. Young stated
in her testimony that her husband was
at work in the Belle of Butte mine;
that he was working steadily and had
not contributed a cent towards her sup
port during the past nineteen months.
Tell us why he has not contributed
to your support?'' said Attorney Cotter
on cross-examination.
WELL he was in the insane asylum a
year Of the nineteen months" was the
reply. HE has been out seven months"
Have you had him arrested on an
other charge within the last ten days?"
Yes; I had him arrested
'"Then you sued him for divorce and
are here now asking the court to COM
pei him to support you after you at
tempted to keep him in jail?"
This was about all there was to the
proceeding so far as the attorneys were
concerned, but the Judge said:
We'll, gentlemen, this case has some
very melancholy and sad features about
it. The testimony showed that Mr..
Young spent a year in the asylum and
that after he got out the feeling between
his wife and himself was not what it
should have been. I will therefore dis
miss the matter"

CHARTER ROLL WAS SIGNED LAST
EVENING BY ABOUT 100
MEMBERS.
TO ADVANCE AND
UPLlfT THE T0ILERS
Its Purposes Will Be to Establish Club
Rooms, Gymnasium and
Library.

Superstition hath no power to govern
the action of those composing the Butte
Workingmens club. That organization
was formally entered on the record of
time last evening by the action of about
100 persons, who assembled at the Audi
torium and ratified the selection of an
executive committee of 10 made by N. J..
Savoy, the temporary president.
The temporary president called the
meeting together and Dan Mcdonald,
president of the Western Labor union,
was chosen chairman and D. D. Station
secretary. Chairman Mcdonald spoke
of the purposes of the organizat ion,
which We're defined as the establishment
Of club rooms, with reading room and
library, gymnasium, bath, billiard and
card rooms. He said that such a place
is needed to surround young men who
are far away from home influences with
an environment that will tend to their
uplifting and advancement along moral
and intellectual lines.
Ex-Governor Richards spoke at length
on the subject, declaring that he had
known of no other undertaking in Butte
within the Is years he had been a res
dent of the city that had so fillel him
with enthusiasm. He said he is not a
member Of organized labor, but that he
claims to be workingman. In his
opinion the movement will tend in d
great measure to nullify the work of the
forces that are trying to dra gyoung
men hellward.
N. J. Savay made an address explain
ing the objects of the club. 1t was eni
phaszed that the organization is non
sectarian, non-political and cosmopoli-
tan in it's character.
Addresses We're also made by Patrick
Mcmahon, a member of the Butte Car
mems union, President Luke Kelly Of the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor assembly,
and Oscar M. Particle, a member of the
Butte BARRIERS union. The speakers
gave their unqualified Endorsement to
the movement.
An executive committee composed of
the following was then ratified by the
assemblage, the selections having al
ready been made and filed with the sec
rotary in typewriter forms. Daniel Nc

The Michigan Central railroad has COM
pleted plans to illuminate Niagara Falls at
night by electricity. Powerful search
lights with screens of various colors will
transform the falls into an electric foun-
tain. The falls themselves will generate
the electricity for the searchlights. 1t Is
proposed to illuminate the falls whenever
a passenger train of the Michigan Cen
trail arrives at or departs from Falls View
station after sunset.
In connection with the idea Of trans
forming Niagara Falls into an electric
fountain, it is an interesting fact that
the first experiment in that direction was
with searchlight that afterward became
part of the equipment of the battleship
Maine and went down with it in the har-
Dor of Havana.

s BUTTE MARKETS s
x *

Oats have advanced 5 cents per hum
dred weight in the last few days, MAX
ing the present price $1.40, the highest
point touched IN eight months. The
gradual increase Is accounted for in the
fact that at this season of the year the
roads which connect the farming and
railroad centers are practically dmpassa-
BILE for teams, and little or no hauling is
done over them. This condition always
gives elevator men an opportunity to
do a little boosting in their own favor
and they seldom if ever fail to take ad-
vantage of 1t.
The hay market is in about the same
condition it was week ago, there being
shortage of timothy and wild hay. with
plenty of alfalfa. The former is quoted
at SLATE per ton, in carload lots, deliv-
cred at the depots, and the latter at
$1050. with wild lowering close to the
SO mark.
In the markets in which food for h J.

there has been little or no deviation,
either in price or the visible supply of
stock, as the following quotations will
