"flu" the Pleasant Hour Club gathered
it's membership together in q pleasant
afternoon at the residence of Mrs.

noted. In a letter written on De-
cember 4th to Mr.. and Mrs. William

the city and has filed a contest for a
seat in the Lower House of the Leg
islature. Silver Bow county, from
which Mr.. Jones halls, has several
contests up, and at this writing it
looks as if most of the contesting re-
publicans, including Jones, will be
seated. Mr.. Jones is r~esidenced at
Judge D. Harris. Strange and un-
believable rumors are afloat in the
ozone as to divorce proceedings hav-
ing been started here several days ago.

.... The Colored citizens of Helena,
with the entire state of Montana,
mourn the passing of that noblest of
life's warriors, Col. Theodore Roose-
welt. Although making Montana his
home but a short time, he became en-
deared to all Montanans for his ster-
ling qualities and superior virtues.
Upon an occasion of his visit to Hell
ena during one of his western tours,
the Colored people of this city pre-
scented to him a trowel composed of
Montana gold and silver. Query:
What will the Colored man get from
an overwhelming Republican majority
in both houses of this Legislature?
