Browns in Town..

The latest farcial effusion which
comes to the opera house Wednesday,,
April 10, is described by the manage
as a balm for jaded nerves. Its
humorous complications are highlysef-
fective, the dialogue is sparkling and
witty ard the story is an entirely new
one. The farce is free from martial
infelicity or innuendo of immortality,
and the time worn, bald headed bene-
dict who firts with a music hall sim
ger is also eliminated. The conyen-
tional old maid and the fussy mother
in-law are dispensed with as we'll as
the hen-eyed German, Irish or French
maid Brown has a maid, but she
is a novel one; one you can see every
day. The particular maid in "Brawn's
in Town is one of the o%ctoroon type,
and portrayed by one of the best ar
lists on the stage. She is not OF the
Lord, the carriage waits" order, but
one who was the talk of all New York
last year. Miss Fannie Midgley, who
is ait the head and front of all comic
singers, has been engaged to play this

regards the livestock industry in the
state. He said that beyond question
the ranges had been overstocked last
year. With the fall shipments and
the losses he believed occurred dur
ing the winter, he said the number OF
cattle had been reduced in proportion
to the range possibilities, and with
sufficient rains this spring to give
grass a good start he anticipated =
marked improvement in affairs all
around. -Overcrowding and insufficient
rains during the last few years, he
said, had made it rather rough sled
ding for those in the business. Now
that only a comparatively few large
concerns remained, all that was re.
nlired to better conditions was a
little more kindness on the part OF
the elements.

Congressman Dixon Finds 1t lmpossi-
BILE to Be Present.
The following letter from the Hon
orable Joseph M. Dixon to Doctor
Free is self-explanatory:
House of Representatives U. s.,
Washington, D. c., April A, 1904
James E. Free, Billings, Montana. My
Dear Sir: l have just received yours
of recent date regarding your goth
anniversary for the Methodist church
at Billings. l would, indeed, be glad
to be present on that occasion. l knew
Brother Stull very well, having serv-
ed with him in the Montana legisla-
ture, where l formed the highest opin-
ion for him, as a man and a citizen.
l, myself, was born a Quaker, but
in connection with your anniversary
day | think it may not be out OF place
TO relate a little circumstance that
II heard the other day. l was over
at the White house to call on the
president one day last week, and while
there, two ministers of the Dutch
Reformed church were presented to
the president. He is a member OF that
church and I was much interested In
his conversation with them. He said
that he belonged to the Dutch Re
formed church, as had his ancestors
for eight generations, but notwlth
standing that fact, if he was to give
his opinion as to the typical Amerl
can church, he thought he would havt
to pick out the Methodist. | though
it was quite a compliment to be pail
to that church.
Wishing you much success at you.
meeting, and regretting my inability TX
be present, l am, yours very truly,
JOS. M. DIXON.
