The Wednesday evening club held one
OF its regular meetings at Firemen hall
Wednesday evening. Dancing was not
commenced until after the band concert
at McDonald's opera house and on that
account the meeting lasted an hour long
er than usual. At midnight refreshments
were served in one of the spacious cloak
rooms by Mrs. w. E. Moore, assisted by
several other ladies'. The party was
thoroughly enjoyable one.
A contest motto was this week filed in
the United States land office at Missoula
involving the Susie place mining claim
on Rock creek claimed by w. T. Hull.
The contester is Frank 3. Wileman of
Granite, who alleges in his notice of cop-
test that the land is mineral and
therefore not subject to the claim of Mr..
Hull A hearing of the case will be had
on January IA, 1902, before Notary Pub
lie A. A. Fairbairn in this city.
The concert at McDonald's opera house
Wednesday evening by Ellery's Royal
italian Band was one of the grandest
treats ever offered a Philipsburg audi
ence. There is considerable musical tai
ent is our little city and most people here
know how to appreciate good music.
Those who attended the concert went
with the expectation of hearing fine band
music but there were few who anticipat-
ed anything like the meusical treat tend
cred them. Few expected to hear such
band. The very first selection complete
ly captiyated the audience and encores
followed upon encores. Such An appre
ciative audience was greatly pleasing to
the management and the band the rem
dition of several special selection not ON
the program was the result. The band !
consists of fifty five piece and the music
they furnish is something grand. The
seating capacity of McDonald's opera
house is nearly five hundred but there
we're few vacant seats Wednesday even
ing and should this famous band come
again our way 1t is safe to predict that
even standing room will be at a prem
ium.
