Miss Lizzie Burns, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. O. D. French for the past two weeks, has returned to Dillon. H. S. Gilbert returned from Butte Sunday. He went over with a ship ment of ore from the Sunshine mine, the returns on which were quite satis factory. Miss Rata Filing has been compell ed bv poor health to abandon her studies. She left \Velle3ly-, Mans., Monday, and will arrive in Virginia this evening. Drew French, who now owns the city circulation of the Butte Inter-Moun tain, is reaching out in a capitalistic way, all of which his many Virginia friends will be glad to know. Sam Patterson, traveling man for It. C. Halliday of Dillon, was in the city this week. This was Mr. Patterson's first visit to Virginia and between sales he put in his time looking up historic points of interest. Jerry Kinkead has decided to tell Ruby Valley ranch property. It is a very desirable location and a good in vestment. His advertisement appears in this issue. Mr. Kinkead expects to locate in Gaylord. At a caucus of the voters of the third ward, held at the court house Tuesday evening, and of which Thomas Dun can was chairman, A. J. Bennett was named as the ward choice for mayor, and Henry Elling for alderman. The commissions of Captain George Reif, Lieutenants Gainan and Lowman of Co. D, M. N. G., expire with next Wednesday evening at which time an election will be held by the com pany at Armory Hall A full attend ance is requested. Thomas H. Teal, alias Rubber Bill, assayer for the Leiter company, and the jolliest man that ever jumped a claim, was in the city this week. Mr. Teal was on his way to Ruby Creek, where he has placer interests. Mr. Teal was accompanied by Frank Rel ling also of Leiterville. Marshal Stark has received a reply from the weather officer at Helena to the effect that he has forwarded the petition of the city council of Virginia for weather forecast service to Wash ington. The official ventures the opin ion that he thinks Virginia will expe rience no difficulty in securing the service. Speed the day. We congratulate our friend Went worth of the Zephyr for the rasping manner in which he tortures the souls of those who seek to disturb the peace and quiet of his sanctum, because he tells the truth occasionally, and we know whereof we speak. If our long range moral support will do brother Wentworth and good, he h?s it entire iy Paul Fusz, president of the Bi-Metal ic Mining Company of Phillipsburg, and Charles D. McLure, one of the largest shareholders in the company, are expected in Virginia from St. Louis about the first of February. Both gentlemen are interested in the Lillian Mining Company, the mines of which concern are located at Summit, but their visit may have other signifi cance. Sweeny, the prize filghter, earswhile aeronaut, who has probably made more in-door assentsons than any other man in America, has vanished into thin air. He belongs to that class of men which any town can well afford to get along without. He has one notch in his gun, for which he was acquitted in Missoula county, and his record in Silver Bow is urrtted in chief on the police court blotter of Butte. His stay in Virginia was short and hit departure sweet—to the inhabitants. It ii not known what caused Sweeny's sudden departure, un ies* il iras the danger of securing a per manant job here. Mrs. D. II. Wileomb is suffering from the effects of a severe cold and will not be able to visit schools for a few weeks.

The Virginia Literary Society, 1 which continues to flourish like the green bay tree held its semi-annual election of officers Wednesday evening with the following result: President. ! \\ iley Mount joy: Vice-president. Mat thew Nelson: Secretary. Miss Nellie Cole; Treasurer, Rev. Guyler; Critic. Prof. Ilall; Editor (iossip, Thomas J. Lowman; programme committee, Mrs. ■ Flora McNulty, Miss Flora Duncan and Rev. Guyler. < >n account of the elec tion the programme was abbreviated, there being music by the quartette, i consisting of Messrs Haines, Hall, ! Stevenson and Nelson, an excellent pa- ' pei on Longfellow by Mrs. McNulty, j instrumental music by Miss Nelson and I Prof. Bovee, and the debate on "Re- j solved, That Other Powers Should In- ; terfere in Behalf of the Armenian j Suffers.'' The affirmative was champ ioned by Miss Nellie Cole, who won, and the negattve by Rev. Mountjoy, the judges being W. J. Foreman, Mrs. Duncan and James How. The meet ing was very interesting. The latest fad in society circles in Rocker is the organization of a hug ging society, a aovel pastime intro duced by "Rube" Geary for the pur pose of raising funds to build a church in that suburb. Mr. Geary is not par ticular as to the denomination of the church but there is a suspicion exist ing in the minds of many that he in troduced the game to make himself popular with the old maids in that vi oinity. Mr. Geary states for the bene fit of the young men of Butte who wish to assist in the good work that a regular scale of rates has been adopted which range as follows: Girls under 16 years for each hug of two minutes, 25 cents; from 16 to 20 years, ">0 cents; school-mar'ms, 40 cents: another man's wife, 91; widows, according to looks, from 10 cents to $5; old maids, four for a dime, no limit to time; ministers, no charge; reporters, take it out in adver tising, and conductors and red-headed widowers are charged extra and must wait until all others get through. Vis itors to socials there will be guaran anteed a square deal by Mr. Geary.— Inter Mountain. James Cavenah, a young man em ployed at the Easton Mine, died at the Madison House Saturday afternoon of chronic inflamation of the bowels. When it became apparent to the phy sicians in charge that there was no chance to save his life by ordinary methods, they decided with his con sent to perform the operation known in medical science as laparatory. The operation.was performed by Dr. South mayd, assisted by Drs. Ragan and Miller, but the 1 disease was in such an advanced stage that nothing could be done to save the young man. He died a short time later. He was very re tricent as to his family history, and did not seem to care whether his rela tives were notified of his death or not and from the conversation had with the physicians he was evidently a man with a history. He had no means and the boys at the Easton did the hand some thing by seeing that the remains of the unfortunate young man were de cently interred and paying all the bills therefor. He had suffered from two previous attacks of the same troub le and came very near dying a year ago. The operation performed was the first of the kind ever attempted in Madisou County. C'uvenah had been employed at the Easton only a short time, having arrived in Virginia only about six weeks ago.

He will leave for Butte in the morning. Mr. Connor is here on pri vate business. W. W. Morris, about whom the sun shine of happiness ever hangs like a halo, is in the city. Mr. Morris has good reason to be happy just now. The» Clipper group of mines at Pony never looked better, and ore is being shipped regularly. Mr. Morris states that oth er properties in his section are looking well. Little Henry Zahnner, infant son of Mrs. Wm. Zahnner, is very ill at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Elling. Mrs. Zahnner left Kansas City yesterday and will arrive here Sunday evening. The little fel low's life was despaired of yesterday, but he is a little better today, and. his recovery is possible. The second quarterly meeting of this' conference year will be held in the Methodist church at Virginia, Satur day and Sunday, Feb. 1 and 2. Quar tarly conference, Saturday Feb. 1 at .'t d . m.

Bennet, presiding elder, will preach at Adobetown, and at 7:30, p. m., Sunday, at Virginia, followed by sacrament of the Lord's supper. All will be welcome. Following are the histories and ped* agrees of, perhaps, two of the hand somest horses ever shipped into Mon - tana. They are valuable acquisitions to the breeders of this state as well as to the Brook-Nook Stud: "Alcono 2-31 1-4 No. 6780, was bred by A. H. Stickles, West Stockbridge, Mass., and was foaled in 1886 and was sired by Alcyone 2-27 No. 732, said by the very best of judges to have been the most perfect horse that they ever saw. Al cyone is the sire of 53 in the 2 -30 list and 21 of these, in 2-20 or better, and died in the spring when ten years of age some eight years since, which makes him, everything considered, the most remarkable sire that ever lived. Alcone 2-31 1-4 is the sire of Benton Wilkes 2-13, has trotted quarters in 30 seconds, Jefferson Wilkes 2-21 1 -4 and Monday Wilkes (2) 2-27 1-2 and either two or three others in the 2 -30 list, which is a remarkable showing for a horse only nine years of age and lias btjen equalled or surpassed by only a very few, and when you take into con sideration that Is of the greatest sires the United States has ever produced including Electioneer, Director, Dic tator, Nutwood, Happy Medium, etc, had only one each at eleven years and now aggregate 118*, the showing is still more remarkable. Alsone's first dam was Lady Hill dam of Sam Hill 2 20 1-4 by Hambletonian No. 10, second dam by Harry Clay. 2-29. This is a re markable breeding and there is proba bly not another horse in the world bred like him, and you will notice that his dam is bred precisely the same as Electioneer through the sire and dam. Alcone is one of the most per fect and handsome horses that I have ever seen and his gait is simply perfec tion and if he lives, without doubt has a great future. Lambert Boy was sired by Lambert Chief No. 3432 son of the incomparable Daniel Lambert No. 102; first dam by the Lapham horse sire of the dams Mabel H 2-22 1-4; Fred II 2 27 1-2, and Fannie B 2-20 1-2, by Hill'» Black Hawk: second dam by the grand son of Hill's Black Hawk, and third dam by Hill's Black Hawk. This makes him deeply imbred which must muke him a very possitive sire. He is very pure and rapid gaited and has shown his ability to trot in 2-30 and will enter the list easily if handled and given an opportunity, and he cannot hely but be a great sire of fine road and carriage horses as well as speed."
