The force on the D)rum Lummnon mine at IMarysville has been very greatly reduced, at least 200 men having been laid off in the last few weeks. Phil. IIarrington from the Zosel dis trict is in the city and reports that there is the beginning of a boom in miiing in terests there.--Western Mining World. A colony of 10 familieqs arrived at Big Timber last week. They will settle on farming lands adjacent to the town and covered by the irrigating canal that hats lately been coustructed.

On January 1. 1890, there were 0,061, 502 sheep in the state, or about one twelfth of the total number in the United States, A new concentrator is to be built at the hope mine at Basin, as the present one has not sufficient capacity. The shaft of the mine is down 300 feet and the work ,of sinking 200 feet more is to begin at once. The new packing house at Bozeman is slaughtering about 200 hogs per week. Large quantities of meat have already been packed, and the quantity will be greatly increased as soon as better facili ties can be secured. Considerable excitement has resulted at Livingston over the reported discov ery of gold mines in the hills just west of town. A large number of claims have been taken on a railroad section which was classified by the commissioners as non-mineral. It is worthy of remark that, as a gen eral rule, whenever a man concludes to abandon the Democratic party he joins the populists; and whenever he gets tired of the populistic vagaries he back slides into democratic absurdities.- Avant Courier. The supreme court handed down its decision in the license law case, on MIon day, the opinion being written by Judge DeWitt, in which the constitutionality of the law is allirmed. The opinion is a long one going very thoroughly into the question and a synopsis cannot well be given. It is said that ex-President THarrison is to be married Monday to Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmnick the lady with whom his 'name has been linked by rumor these many months. It is to be presumed that Prince Russell, late of Montana, has given his unqualified permission.-Mad isonian. So confusing are the party lines in Butte that no man can guess which of our excited contemporaries in that city will tell how much was paid to the Thompson council in bribes to settle the Simon Jacobs claim and which of the al dermen are alleged to have been bribed. -Standard. Wcrk on the Parrot smelter is going on at a rapid rate and the new town of Gay lord will undoubtedly become the scene of great activity during the summer. The Parrot plant will probably be the largest of its kind in the world when completed and will include all the latest improved processes for ore reduction. The celebrated Davis will case seems to be a perennial source of wealth for the legal fraternity. As soon as the claims of one or more heirs are knocked out or satisfied, another alleged relative bobs up, and retaining fees and other emolu ments are again distributed among the opposing attorneys.--River Press. Sheriff Hamilton of Beaverhead county started last week for the Reform school with three boys committed to that insti tution, but lost one near Bozeman, the youthful desperado picking the lock of his handcuffs which bound him to the other two, and leaping from the train es caped under cover of the darkness. The sheriff afterwards discovered that the other boys had also unlocked their brace lets. The fugitive incorrigible was after wards captured near Logan. Irene L., a Butte mare owned by Pete Hale, pared a quarter-mile on the Butte race track last Monday in 3294, on a wa ger of $100 between the owner and Ike Morehouse, that no horse could accom plish it in 35 seconds on that track at this time of year. Tom McTague, Dr. McGregor and Jack Geoghan acted as judges. A headless body was found by a switch man near the Northern Pacific track in Helena on Saturday morning. Investi gation showed that the remains were those of a man named J. 13. Gannon and the dececnsed met his death while tryingl to steal a ride. There were evidences that the unfortunate man had been dragged for 700 or 800 yards before being killed. A Union Pacilic meerchandise car was burglarized between Lima and D)aly's spur, on Monday, it is thought, by tramps. O)licer Smith of Lima wias notified im mediately and took the first train west in search of them, and caught theim at D)i! ion. It is not known just what they grot, but a.tliong other things shoes were sto len. They are now in jail at Dillon awaiting trial. Another old timer of Mltontana inl the person of Sample Orr crossed to the si lent shore last week at Blackfoot, Idaho. Mr. Orr was at one timre actively idMlti fled with .Montana politics and before coining to the territory lie was promlinent in the civil affairs of Missouri, his native state, where he at otie time was t c:lani date for the governorship. lie left Mon tana about 15 years ago. The board of state mineral land com missioners, consisting of George Irvin of Butte, Dr. A. Ii. Mitchell of Deer Loige and Thomas 17. Merrill of HIelena have tendered their resignations to the gov ernor. The board worked in entire har mony with the state board of land coml missioners whose work they were ap pointed to second, and who will now as sume entire charge of the state's land affairs. Bessie Lowe took a shot at her hus band, Walter Lowe, in Butte on Sunday last, but owing to lack of proper prelim inary practice failed to secure her quar ry. Later a policeman suppllemented Mrs. Lowe's poor markmnnanship by an equally ineffectual shot at Lowe, while the latter was climbing a fence in an ef fort to escape. Lowe is said to have abused his wife and frequently threat-. ened her life. It is reported that Shelby Eli Dillard will again enter the field of journ:alism in behalf of the town of Joliet as at candi date for the county seat of Carbon coun ty. It seems at this distance to be a foolish light for the people of Joliet to undertake, but Shelby can manke "heap mediciue" when lie gets started off on the right foot; othetrwise--well, you know how it is with Shelby.--Yellowstone Journal. THE PENITENTIARY. A Model Institution in Capable HIands Other States Might Copy from It. Conley & McTague were again awarded the contract for the care of the state pris oners, at a meeting of the board of prison commissioners, which assembled last Friday at Helena, at the greatly reduced rate of 35 cents per day for each inmate. Other bids were, Jonathan Blake 38 cents, and Hathaway and Walker 371,. The reduced rate makes a difference of about $5,000 per year to the state. The Montana penitentiary, under the management of Conley & McTague, is a model prison, and may well serve as a pattern for older and far more populous states. In no correctionary institute of the country is the discipline and the gen eral administration nmore perfect, a fact which is attested by the few escapes that have occurred during the term of control of the present contractors. The excel lence of the sanitary management is also well shown by the small number of deaths which have occurred, the average being only about one a year. There are 310 prisoners at present in the penitentiary, for the care of which 16 guards are required. A new building was erected last summer of brick, 50x160 feet, under the charge of Hermann Kemna, a prisoner, who drew the plans and directed the whole work of construc tion in the hands of convicts who were without any previous knowledge of brick laying. The main building of stone is 40x150 feet. It is the prison proper, the new structure being used for cook houses, dining halls, etc. The brick for the new building was made by convicts and the lumber sawed by them. Surrounding the grounds, 350x500 feet in extent, is an 18-foot wall, which was built by prison labor, directed by Archi tect James McCallman of Helena, and supervised by the board of state prison commissioners. It is rough rouble with out and square rouble within. A school is maintained in the prison which is un der the superintendency of Convict Brett from Helena, a graduate of Oxford. Al most everything is taught, a class of 23 receiving instruction in telegraphy. Only five female prisoners are now confined in the pen. Altogether there is no better kept prison anywhere and the contractors well merit the full measure of public confi dence which they enjoy throughout the state.

Tiil: N i:w . oiwriiw-ssiT acknowledges a pleasant call on IMonday from Mr. John Bolt who came1 downl from his mines in the Zosel district for supplies. iMr. Bolt has had a remarkable experience and has probably seen as many phases of life on sea and land as any man living. Born on sllipboard off Cape Cod lie followed the life of a sailor for many years, during which he visited alimost every part of the world. While ia young man he joined all expedition which passed through a large portion of Asia including the holy land. In 1850, Mr. Bolt entered the British naval service in the expedition of that year, which, under Captain Church, pen etrated the Arctic regions in search of the ill-fated Franklin. IIe experienced at north latitude 78-24, SO0 degrees below zero. The ship carrying this expedition was especially constructed for the pur pose, and was fitted with steam saws 75 feet in length by means of which the ice was cut, allowing the passage of the ves sel from one expanse of open water to another. In 1862 Mr. Bolt came to Montana, en gaging in mining at Grasshopper, Alder Gulch and in Deer Lodge county, until 1871 when he joined the stampede to Peace river in the north. Here some valuable claims were found, but the hero of so many vicissitudes was not among the lucky ones. Peace river discharges into the Great Slave lake which is the source of the Makenzie. It lies within the Arctic circle and in a region where summer lasts but three months. Return ing Mr. Bolt went to the Black Hills in 1876 where he resided for some years until he again bent his footsteps towards Montana, where he now has some good placer mines on the waters of the Cotton wood. City Election. Deer Lodge's city election on Monday was a very quiet one, the fact that but one ticket was in the field causing little inter est to be taken and calling forth a small vote. For treasurer E. Scharnikow received 74 votes, for police magistrate J. M. HIartwell received 71, Bob Harris receiv ing 1 ballot for treasurer and Frank Brennan 1 for police judge in ward 1. The vote by wards was as below: FIRST WARID. For Treasurer, E. Scharnikow........ 32 Bob Harris........... 1 Por Police Judge, J. M. Hartwell.....31 Frank Brennan.... 1 For Alderman, Thos. McTague....... 29 One blank. SECONDI) WARD. For Treasurer, E. Scharuikow........20 For Police Judge, J. M. Hartwell.....24 For Alderman, A. D. Peck ............ 25 One blank. THIRiD WAIRD. For Treasurer, E. Scharnikow ......... 1 For Police Judge, J. IM. Hartwell.....16 For Alderman, William Zosel.........16 For Alderman, 0. S. Schroeder........16 Poor Indeed There are degrees and kinds of poverty just as there are differences of opinion among those who compute and measure poverty and riches by different standards. Some men deem themselves poor because they are less rich than others,again there are comparatively poor people who are satisfied with a competence. There is a kind of poverty for which no amount of wealth can compensate, namely, a pov erty of bodily stamina, evinced by ner vousness and a derangement of the func tions of digestion, bilious secretion and the bowels. To restore vigor upon a per manent basis there is one remedy that fully covers the requirements, "fills the bill," and this is Htostetter's Stomach Bitters. By restoring digestion, giving a healthful impulse to the action of the bowels and liver and tranquillizing the nerves, it fulfills the condition necessary to a resumption of strength by the sys tem. It also overcomes malaria and rheu matism. THE CITY ELECTIONS LOCAL ISSUES SETTLED BY BALLOT EVERYWHERE LAST MONDAY.
