Since Mary MeLane made Butte
famous by: her interesting word pict'
ures Of this famous camp, and lay
here her own soul as we'll, newspaper
writer's; have, given Butte a wide
berth. She left nothing more to be
said. But the Butte today is not the
Butte from which Mary McLane sigh
ed to leave. Then it was a treeless
waste, cloud Of smoke and sulphur
fumes which made life for tree and
animal burden. But this has all
gone and while the marvellous geo.
graphy of Butte remains to make IL
unique in the cities of the world,
science has, come to the rescue Inc
fumes are now manufactured into by
products, and the atmosphere, cleared
of 3ts poisons, is delightful, the SOIL
fertile and the flowers and vegetables
challenge the admiration of the worio.

pioneers came together and formed an
organization which has steadily in
creased in membership until today it
stands as one of the foremost church
societies in this community. Among
the first organizers were Henry Kauf-
man, Carl and Albert Stricken, Casper,
George and Fred Scharfenberg, John
Gessert, VIM. Yeske and VIM. Affeldt,
most of whom are now asleep in Chris
tian graves, Henry Kaufman, we think,
being the only one now living. The
preacher who first filled the pulpit was
Rev. Duborg, then came Rev. Koerner
of Whitewater, and in December, 1880,
Rev. Wildermuth came and remained
until August, 1894. He was succeeded
by Rev. Spilman, the present pastor.
There are now It's families that belong
to the church, having grown from 80
when Rev. Spilman began the pastor
ate. A parochial school is connected
with the church, attended by about 70
pupils at present. Rev. Wildermuth
taught the school for some time, but
the first teacher employed was Henry
Fehler, next John Zinck, John Ober-
dick, and the present principal, B.
Rubin. There are two societies con-
nected with the church, the Ladies So
ciety, 100 members, and the Young
Ladies society, 80 members.
Next Sunday the anniversary exer-
cises will consist of three meetings, at
1870 a. M, conducted by Rev. M.
Mueller of Bonduel, Wis, in German;
at 2:30 p. m. Rev. Linnevold of the
Norwegian Lutheran church will speak
in English, and at 700 in the evening
Rev. Martens of Madison will speak in
German. Extra decorations and spec.
ial music will be furnished and the SER
vices will be in harmony with the occa-
sion.
