BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
A Good Man Gone.

In the death of DR.. ]. H. Miller the
citizens of the West Side have lost their
most trusted physician. AS man he
was admired by all who knew him. He
was a public spirited citizen, taking an
active interest in the community in
which he resided. He was the best Of
companions. Genial, kind, thoughtful,
and possessing an originality Of thought
and wit that made his company sought
after. He was generous to fault, and
gave to the needy when he himself was
perhaps the most needy. The people
knew him best as a skillful physician
and clever surgeon. He was success
in his profession. The people of Virginia
City always felt that DR.. Miller could be
had if needed. The county mourns the
loss of such a capable and worthy man,
who was cut down before he had barely
reached the prime of his manhood. His
bereaved wife and family have the sp/.-
taneous sympathy of the people in this,
their hour of great sorrow.-Virginia

memory, has vanished now. He found

but they were hard to hang onto and
floated away with the tide.

the court house were discussing the Pc
culiarities Of California Jim." One Of
them knew him in the old days and had
watched his ups and downs with no lit

Jim used to be a bartender said his
old acquaintance. "He was a star per-
former in this line in the early days in
California. He worked at the business
for thirty years and holds the worlds
record among the members of that pecu-
liar craft. 1t is said of Jim that in all
the time in which he has been engaged in
the work of dispensing drinks he never
broke glass. That's pretty good rec
ord don't you think SOP"

the tale. HE must have been careful
man."
