The faculty has decided to abolish
football for two years and such games

not only caused considerable unpleas-

and the boys have been having a hard
time to pay off all their Indebtedness.
The faculty believes the present game

GOLD
PRODUCTION
OUTPUT FOR MARCH SHOWS
FALLING OFF OWING TO
ACCIDENTS.

The report of B. H. Tatem, in charge
of the United States assay Office at
Helena, on the gold receipts of his
office for March, shows a marked
falling of in the production of the
yellow metal in Fergus during the
month. This was fully expected, and
is due to two reasons, first, the freez-
ing of the pipes conveying water to
the Gold Reef mill. at Gilt Edge,
which caused a shut down, and Sec
ond. the accident to the Barnes-King
hoist, which very materially reduced
the amount of ore handled at that
mine. But for these accidents, the
output would have been as large as
during February, it is believed, when
the total was little over $4,000.
The gold received at the Office from
Fergus county during March was
nearly $4,000. and this county still
leads the state as gold producer

Disaster at German Hotel.

Nagold, Black Forest. Germany Ap-
ril 9.-Fifty-two persons were killed
and 20 dangerously injured today by
the collapse of the Hotel Zum Hir.
schen. The building had not been
fully completed, and the catastrophe
is attributed to non.observance of
proper precautions.
The roof of the building had only
been put in place this morning, an
event which, in accordance with Ger
man customs. was celebrated by a
feast. The guests were reported to
have engaged in dance, and this,
together with the large number of
persons on the floor, probably was
what caused the building to collapse.

DOCTOR FOLEY
WINS AT LAST
PASSES EXAMINATION BEFORE
STATE BOARD WITH FLY.
ING COLORS.

After struggle lasting over a
year. DR.. John r. Foley has at last
won out, and can hereafter practice
his profession without let or hind
renee from any source. He was noti-
fed last Saturday night that he had
secured the required average in the
examination before the state board
of medical examiners last week. and
his long contest for a certificate ends.
AS matter of fact. DR.. Foley secured
a very high average at this exami-

flying colors.

held, he had built up quite a practice
here, but he did not secure the nec-

try once more. He continued to prac-

successful, and later on he secured a
trial in the district court at Helena

was the first proceeding of the kind

was SO creditable that it is hard to
reconcile the former results with it..
But the doctor has won out, and he
is satisfied to let it go at that.
DR.. Nichols. of this city, also took

THE conference expressed by the

would accrue by building through

when the Milwaukee engineers first
commenced "Reminiscences in this
vicinity for building to Butte they
were given the impression by certain
factors in local railroading. that the
Benton-White route between Martins
dale and Helena had been fully ex
plotted and abandoned because it was
not feasible. That impression was er
roneous. The route was examined
by Engineer w. A. Haven. It was
found to be feasible and it's abandon

From here to the great copper

SOCIETY NOTES.

The last entertainment of the 500
club was given at Culver's opera
house on Wednesday evening last.
Dancing and cards were the amuse-
ments for the evening. There was a
contest of those who had worn the
pins during the season, ten ladies and
gentlemen playing for the pins. They
were Mesdames. Eldridge, Pfaus, SUIT
ter, Brown and Wasmansdorff and
Messrs. Eldridge, Won Tobel, Wilson.
Sutter and Newell. Mrs. Sutter made
the highest score for the ladies and
Mr. Eldridge for the gentlemen, and
the pins became their property. The
game lasted one hour, beginning at
$3.50, after which the tables were used
by anyone desiring to play cards. Bo-
wees orchestra furnished the music,
which was delightful and of course
the dancing was greatly enjoyed.
There were over a hundred people in
attendance and the handsome dresses
OF the ladies made the affair most at
tractive. This was the largest party
which has been given during Lent.
