The report of the dinner and supper
served by st. Mary's Guild on cleo
ton day was inadvertently omitted
from last weeks issue, but the
memory of the excellent repast will
long remain in the minds of the
hungry voters. The dining room was
crowded both noon and evening, and
prompt service was the rule. A
beautiful handmade centerpiece was
donated by Miss Marion Survant,
and the fortunate winner was A. S.
Hanscom, The proceeds cleared by
the Guild were over $11O, and the
success of the venture were largely
due to the untiring efforts of the
president. Mrs. &. l.. Partridge, and
her efficient co-workers.
The Congregational Ladies Aid
Society held Il very successful bazaar
and supper OH Front street last
Thursday evening. The display of
fancy-work and useful household
adjuncts was unusually large. and
waswell patronized. The candy booth,
fortune-telling and grabbing were
also very popular, as was the chicken
supper table which was crowded all
evening. The ladies of the Aid were
deserving of success on account of
the hard work put in during the past
half-year toward their bazaar. 1t is
intended that an election dinner will
be served on February I'd, when
county division is voted on, and will
undoubtedly be we'll patronized.

One Thousand Head Killed at
Clendiye.

One thousand head of livestock,
which includes one car Of horses and
mules and other loads of dairy stock
were destroyed by federal and state
veterinarians at Glendive, to save
the rest of the state from infection.
The train of livestock got as far as
Miles City when it was turned back
by Deputy State Veterinarian John
son, in accordance with the governors
proclamation. The livestock was
billed to Rosebud, Hysham, Clyde
Park, Big Timber and two points in
Washington. No symptoms of hoof
and mouth disease were detected
among the horses and mules. but the
cattle were dying when they arrived
at Glendive OH the return "trip. The
carcasses of the cattle will be buried
and what remains be buried in quick
lime and the yards will he thoroughly
disinfected.
Miles City shippers who had planned
to ship livestock to Omaha instead of
Chicago during the tie-up of the
Chicago yards OH account of foot and
mouth disease quarantine, have de-
cided not to ship for ten days, as it is
believed any shipper who ships within
that time is taking chances on having
his stock quarantined and possibly
killed.-Montana Daily Record.

Got the Same Bird.

While moving hay last june Abe
Burger. Cathcart, WASH, rancher,
surprised II mother pheasant and her
brood in the tall grass. One of the
flock was oyertaken by the mower,
which amputated both of it's legs. 1t
escaped to al alder thicket. While
hunting recently Burger winged a
pheasant. When he recovered the
bird both of it's legs were missing, a
fact which recalled the accident of
the early summer. The bird had
become full grown, was in perfect
condition, plump, and in fact, larger
than the average of this years birds
taken in the locality. The wounds
had completely healed and nature,

oped a subst itute for claws in the

"The Virginian. I"

The people of Malta were given a
splendid treatin the "Virginian" at
the new Princess Theatre Monday
evening. This play was by odds
the best production ever staged in
Malta, and was thoroughly enjoyed
by the most critical in the audience.
Regardless Of the inclemency Of the
weather, a good crowd turned out to
see whether or not Mr. COburn would
keep his promise to give us a good
theatrical attraction in his new
theatre and the most skeptical were
fully convinced that Coburn can and
will deliver the goods. The whole
cast was excellent. In fact each part
franklin as the "virginian." ' was
the typical, honest and genteel cow
puncher, whose personality was
simply irresistible and his captivat-
ing ways and winning smile, even
when telling Trampas to "stand on
your legs and tell 'em you lie," would
have appeared engaging had it not
been for the cold and dangerous
glitter of his eyes, which simply got
the goat of the bad man but won
the heart of the "school ma 'am.
tlyut WaISOn DIS steve, ana FRANCIS
Owen as Honey Virgins, also deserve
special mention, and in several scenes
brought down the house, and Blanche
Tarver as the proud little school
teacher played the part to perfection.
Taken all in all the play was first
class. Mr.. Coburn, a real cowboy
of many years experience, kept things
going by reciting ''Y ellowstone Pete's
Only Daughter" which capped the
climax and brought down the house.

School Notes.

AS the total enrolment to date is
PA it is safe to say that 100 children
are members of our schools. At
least 1856 are in attendance each day.
The cold weather has had little effect
upon attendance as yet.
New pupils during the past week
are Ruth and Grace Raymond, Lila
Stonesifer, Ella Dagfinrud and Samuel
North.
Walter Clark reentered school on
Monday after a weeks vacation.
The boys of the upper grades have
organized club for the study Of
practical problems. Farming, wool
work, current history and parliament
tary procedure will be among the
topics discussed and studied.
7 The Parents and Teachers meeting
at the school house last Saturday
evening was excellently attended.
Owing to unforeseen circumstances
several who were scheduled to appear
on the program failed to appear. In
fact Rev. Slime was the only person
who was on hand And it is only
just to say that this single address
was we'll worth the effort required for
attendance. Through the kindness of
number of the ladies of the commu-
nifty an excellent lunch was served
after the program closed. Everyone
was in a social mood so that laughter
and song echoed through the school
rooms for a merry hour and a half.
The next meeting Of this sort will not
be held until January.
It is expected that sometime during
the second week of December Mrs.
DR.. Reynolds and Mrs. Holiday of
Missoula will be in Malta under the
auspices of the school. Mrs. Reynolds
is reader Of exceptional ability.
while Mrs. Holiday is fine pianist.
These ladies are sent out by the State
University. Their entertainment will
be easily the equal of any high-priced
lyceum entertainment. Watch the
paper next week for the time, the
place and the price.
"Taking good teeth-good health as
my motto, promise to care for my
teeth daily" is the text of the pledge
card which Miss Aver is circulating
among her so odd pupils. A small
package of dental cream accompanies
the pledge card and the children are
instructed in the use of it. A prize
of a large package of paste is to be
awarded to the child who writes the
best essay on Good Teeth.' This
is a good thing and every parent,
whose children are in Miss Ayers
room, is urged to encourage the chill
diem in forming the tooth brush

The performance of 'Quo Vadis"
by the kline-Cines Film Co. at the
Orpheum last evening was of such an
exceptionally fine character that it
deserves special mention. The spec

gorgeous scenery, costumes and a
magnificent setting, and the acting
was superb. The Orpheum was packed
with very appreciative audience,
every available seat being taken.
Manager Wilmert gave the audience
an unexpected treat by having the
Mozart String Orchestra with five
instruments to render appropriate
and beautiful music between acts and
at the conclusion of the peri ormance.
