The Scourge of Dlpththeria.
The death of Mrs: Celia Thrasher, from
diphtheria, at Pioneer, is another, and we
trust the last, sad incident of the scourge
that has afflicted our neighboring town. But
a little past seventeen years, recently mar
ried to a worthy man, and with life opening
hopefully to her, she, who had been caring
for others afflicted with diphtheria, was
stricken down, and after but a brief illness,
died very suddenly. Our neighbors have
been sorely scourged with this dread disease.
Within the past year there have been 22
cases in and about the town, and the graves
of seven in the Deer Lodge cemetery shows
how fatal has been the work of the destroyer.
We fear our friends do not use the extreme
measures of isolation and quarantine de
manded to suppress diphtheria. It is a wome
disease and more contagious in summer than
small pox. While children are especially
susceptible toit, even adults advanced in life
are sometimes victims. It can be readily
conveyed in clothing to remote places, and
all persons in contact with cases should use
the precaution of changing clothing, or thor
oughly disinfecting before going in contact
with others, especially young persons. Old
damp buildings are especially favorable to
its propagation and retention, and cases
under such conditions are likely to be most
malignant; but the germ may be conveyed
and fatal results follow even in the dryest
and best ventilated buildings. We trust,
wherever this disease has foothold, that every
possible precautionary measure will be used
to isolate it, to disinfect premises and to
closely follow the Rules prescribed by the
Board of Health. Twenty-two cases in and
bshout Pioneer in a year, and one-third of
them fatal, while many more have occurred
between there and New Chicago, induces us
to urge earnestly, and with our sympathies
all aroused in behalf of our neighbors and
friends in that region, that they use their
utmost exertions to disinfect premises, to t
administer prophylactics to children in the '
vicinity of those afflicted, and to stamp out, a
if possible, this dread disease which is deso- t
lating their homes. C

A HANDSOME ESTABLISHMENT.
Dr. Owing.' Drug Store Opened in the
Lodge & Beaumont Building.
Dr. Owings removed his stock this week
to the large and elegant, rooms in the Lodge
& Beaumont building, and now has one
of the handsomest pharmacies in the Terri
tory. The counters and furniture are of
cherry, with iron show case stands, stained
shelves and very handsome dispensing bot
tles, which, with the full length mirrors, sil
ver show cases, pure white walls and stained
glass transom lights makes a very beautiful
store room indeed. Aside from the standard
supply of "paints, oils and chemicals," which
belongs in a well regulated drug store, Dr.
Owings makes a specialty of art goods and
fine toilet goods, his stock of these being
large, new and very fine. On the same floor
of the 20x100 foot apartments is a commod
ious store room, making it very convenient
and enabling the store proper to be kept
clear of the heavier lines of goods. Mr. All.
Whitworth, a capable and experienced
Dispenser, is presiding genius of the estab
lishment, and has a splendid and commod
ious prescription case from which to com
pound remedies for the ills that flesh is heir
to. We congratulate the proprietor on his
"*new store."

The Butte Free For All.
THa Butte free-for-all Saturday drew
5000 people to the Race Course, and Lot

the Montana record. The horses entered

The game restriction went out on the 14th,
and the shot gun artists who didn't go out
with it started early next morning. We have
already seen some nice bunches of birds
come in, and the toothsome prairie chicken
will be the delight of epicures from now on.
Games of chance and skill are plentiful
these days and evenings. What with cane
rackets, wheels of fortune, short cards, and a
new diversion entitled "faro," there is plenty
of opportunity to give lucre a chance to
change owners. And the chance is taken
freely.

Notwithstanding the large rainfall of the
season, the grain and bhay product of the val

some places will not much exceed a half

There has been too much cold weather for it

Manager Maguire on Tuesday canceled
the dates for Lewis Morrison's "Faust" and
"A Dark Secret" at Cottonwood Hall Thurs
day and Friday evenings of this week, and
says "they will appear later." The cancella

at the races, and fine moonlight evenings'
people generally are indisposed for the the -
ater. We hope, however, the Morrison
Company will come here when they get back
from their "outing."
Mr. Benj. Franklin, Manager of the Frank
lin Mining Co., was in town Monday. The
tunnel on the Jumbo is now in between 200
and 250 feet, with about 100 feet vertical
depth. It shows two or three good streaks
of ore, some of high grade, the ore ranging
from 8 to 24 inches on the hanging wall. An
upraise will soon be started for air, and the
vein will then probably be cross-cut. Two
shifts are being worked. Mr. Franklin, who
is not at all of an excitable nature, thinks
the developments very satisfactory.
We forgot to mention last week that on
the morning of the issue the week before the
editorial wheelbarrow, which we had adver
tised as lost, strayed or stolen, was standinog
across our door when we made our morning
advent on the street. Advertising does pay.
The long lost wheelbarrow was restored in
fifteen minutes after the paper was on the
street. We don't want to mention any names
in the connection, but John O'Neill is en
titled to a great notice with our thanks when
he gets ready to quit this world of sin and
wheelbarrows.
The managers of the several Racing Asso
ciations and the Montana Union Railway
company, having joined purposes, have
made the transportation of the race horses
and the impedimenta appertaining to them a
great success. The hundred or so horses
from Batte, with all material of the track
camps, were loaded on 21 cars and brought
here as a special with as much care as would
be bestowed on a special car of railroad in
spectors, and in three or four hours after
leaving Batte were in their stables on the
Deer Lodge track. They wall be transported
in the same way to Helena, thence back to
An acon da, and thence to 8pohatne Fal s.
The people receiving mail at Race Track
think they should have a daily mail, and we
hope they will get it. They removed the
postoffice to the railroad siation, saving the
government considerable money, with that
object in view. It is really more convenient
for mail clerks to deliver mails daily than
three times a week, and in holding over mail
for the tri-weekly service it frequently gets
delayed beyond that. All the difference in
cost would be in the mail train stopping
there, or slowing up, four days in the week,
and the people would be greatly advantaged
by the change. Postmaster Kinney is mak
ing application for the more frequent serv
ice, and we hope he will succeed.

Seeond Amanal Meeting at Deer Loedge Amn
14, 15, 18 and 17,18 as,
The Second Annual Meeting of the Dee
Lodge Fair & Racing Association opened ol
Tuesday, August 14th, 1888. The day was a
beautiful and pleasant as could be desired to
the spectators, it being neither too hot nog
too cold, but for good speed it was a lute too
cool. About 3 o'clock a wind came up from
the northeast which at times was a little toc
strong for the horses to pull against. ,
The track was in most excellent condition
and all horsemen expressed themselves high.
ly pleased with it. The improvements at the
track and the general arrangements for the
entertainment of people received the ap
proval of the visitors. Only one complaini
was heard, and that was the lack of stall
room, which of course will be remedied in
time.
The first was a running race, one-quartes
mile dash, and which was called at 2:4C
o'clock. The following entries were made:
Jim Miller, r c-J. P. Sutton.
Sorrel Charley, a g-James McDonald.
Carl S, s g-Wm. Dingley.
Ocheko Bill-Henry Coombs.
Weasel-J. W. Kingford.
Mary Filly, b f-Robert McDonald.
Sunday, b g-Dick Crawford.
Sunday was withdrawn before the race
and the others took positions in the order
named: Ocpjeko Bill, Carl 8, Mary Filly,
Sorrel Charley, Weasel, Jim Miller. Con
siderable time was occupied in getting a
start, but finally they came flying down the
track and passed .under the wire in 211 sec
onds, Jim Miller first, Ocheko Bill second,
Sorrel Charley third and the balance close
behind. Pools sold about even on Jim
Miller and Weasel. Fifty-six Paris Mutuals
paid 80:30 on Jim Miller.
TROTTING, 3-MINUTE CLAss-$250.
The following were the entries made:
Fantasie, b m-Sam Scott.
Dennis Ryan, ch s-F. Fancher.
D K W. gr g-C. R. Fickett.
Murray, b g-Lee Shaner.
Carrie C-Wesley Walters.
Col. Bradshaw-C. G. Bradshaw.
The last two were withdrawn. The race
was called at 3:50 o'clock, and the horses
took position as follows: D. K. W., Dennis
Ryan, Murray and Fantasie. A good start
was had and D. K. W. led off. Fantasie
broke on first quarter and lost ground. D.
K. W. kept the lead throughout without a
skip and came in winner in 2:37. Fantasle
second, Dennis Ryan third and Murray
fourth. Owing to the stiff breeze there was
hard pulling on the back stretch.
Pools were selling for about $15 to $5 in
favor of Fantasie. Mutuals paid $7.40 on D.
K. W. on first heat.
8BCOND HEAT.
A good start was made. Fantasie went off
her feet on the first quarter but came down
quickly. D. K. W. led all the way round and
into the home stretch, Fantasie slowly gain
ing on him. On the home stretch Fantasie
broke into a run and pa9sed D. K. W., the
driver evidently not trying to stop her, and
in that position they went under the wire.
The beat was given to D. K. W. and Fan
tasie set back to third. Murray second,
Dennis Ryan fourth. Time 2:32. Mutuals
paid on D. K. W. $11:85. Fantasie was such
a strong favorite that no pools were selling.
THIRD HEAT.
Fantasie and D. K. W. led. On the first
turn Fantasie pocketed D. K. W. and got a
good lead, which she kept to the finish. On
the home stretch Fantasie was held back,
but came under the wire in 2:27, Dennis
Ryan second, D. K. W. third and Murray
distanced. No mutuals were sold on this
heat, Fantasie being favorite. Considerable
dissatisfaction was expressed as to the time
announced in this heat. The time keepers
gave it 2:271, when the outsiders had it 2:37;.
It is probable the time keepers made a mis
take.
FOURTH AND LAST HEAT.
Fantasie had the start and broke on the
first quarter, and at the half mile post fell
behind D. K. W. On the upper turn Fan
tasie passed D. K. W. on a ran and kept the
lead, and went under the wire in 2:39. The
heat was given to D. K. W. on account of
the running of Fantasie. Dennis Ryan
second.

This was race No. 2, but was sandwiched
in between heats of the 3-minute race. A
very large number of entries were made for
this race, but for some reason or other all
were withdrawn except Tempest Belmont,
a c, O. B. Jeffries, Butte, and Peri, br f, E.
Pinkham, Idaho. In the first heat, with an
even start, Peri soon took the lead and main
tained it to the finish-time 3:03. The second
heat was a repetition of the first, time 3:05,
which gave the race to Peri.

Entries:
Broadchurch, b g-R. E. Bybee.
Arles, s c-Morehouse & Blivens.
Jubilee, b g-J. F. Bybee.
Pat Curran, b c-Whitmore Bros.
This was the most exciting event of the
day. A great deal of time was consumed in
starting, not the fault of the riders, but of the
horses, which were difficult to control.
Broadchurch had the pole, Arlee 2, Jubilee 3
and Pat Curran 4. Finally they were sent
off in a bunch. Broadchurch soon got the
lead, but after entering the homestretch was
passed by Jubilee, and in that positien came
u[nder the wire-Jubilee 1, Broaachurch 2,
Pat Curran 3 and Aries 4. Time 491.
Jubilee was barred from the Mutuals,
which paid $7.60 on Broadchurch. Pools
sold about $5 to $4 in favor of Curran for
third place, which he won, both Broadclurch
and Jubilee being barred from the pools.
The judges for the day were James B.
McMaster, John Bielenberg and W. Fry,
and their rulings and decisions gave general
satisfaction. Timekeeper Wm. B. Miller.
SECOND DAY.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1888.
The day was all that could be desired.
Early in the afternoon pools began to sell on
RACE NO. 5--RUNNING,
three-quarter mile dash, and sold rapidly up
till the race was called, in the proportion of
about $30 on Daniel B., $12 on Bogus and $3
on Keepsake. The nominations for the race
were:
Daniel B., s g-Moorehouse, Blevins & Co.
Bogus, ch g-W. H. Babb.
Keepsake, b m-R. E. Bybee.
Purse $200. Keepsake secured the pole,
with Daniel B. second, and Bogus third.
The judges for the day were selected as
follows: George Burns, of Helena, Win. A.
Fry and John Bielenberg, of Deer Lodge,
with W. B. Miller as time-keeper.
Twenty minutes were taken up in getting
a start. Finally they were sent away, Bogus
soon taking the lead. Before the first quar
ter was reached Bogus was about 20 feet
ahead of the other horses, but from that be
began to lose ground. After the home
stretch was reached Daniel B. crowded Bogus
to the inside fence and got in ahead of him.
Keepsake came up on the outside and Bogus
took position behind In the center. In that
way they came down the stretch under whip
and spur until within 20 feet of the wire,
when Keepsake made a dash and came in
ahead. Time 1:18.
Here the utmost excitement prevailed.
"Foul" was claimed on all sides. The judges,
after considering the matter for half an hour,
and being satisfied there was a foul, declared
it a dead heat and ordered the race run again.
At this decision immense applause was given
from the spectators. The utmost ill feeling
existed between the owners of the horses,
but the judges were firm and determined that
a fair race should be run or paunishment
should follow to the extent of the law, and
they so announced from the stand. The
jockeys were called up and told what the re
sait would be if they were caught in aay
fool.
The second heat was called at 3:4, and a
good start was had. Bogus led, Daniel B.
seond and Keepsake third, until the turn in
the home stretch, when Daniel B. crowded
Bogus, and before the wire was reached
Keepsake came up and took second place.
Winner, Bogus; Keepsake 2d, and Daniel
B. 3d. Time 1:19.
lells of "foul" were now heard from all
directions, and there may have been, but if
so it was intangible to the judges. The race
was given to Bogus, whose mutuals paid
$13.85.
RACE No. 6---uxeNNo-oNE mILS DAMS,
for a purse of $200. This race was called'at
4:40, with the following entries:
Duffy Winters-W. H. Babb.
John Hall-D. B. Wells.

They were assigned positions in the order
named. One other entry had been made, but
was withdrawn. A good and quick start was
made, Bapetta soon taking the lead, Duffy
Winters 2d, and John Hall 3d. In this posil

rfae start. Hattie D. led easily, being ield
back on the home stretch, and came in a
slow winner in 3:18. The second heat was
won also by Hattie D. in 3.06. It seemed as
if no time were attempted to be made in this
race, as on the last half mile of the second
heat Hattie D. traveled at a 2:42 gait.
At the beginning of the second running
race a change was made in the Judges, Mr.
Phil. E. Evans taking the place of Mr.
Burris, to whom objection was made by
some outsider, though he was an excellent
judge.
Channcey Kane, the driver of Fantasie in
the 3:00 class trot on Tuesday, was, by the
Officers and Directors of the Association,
and judges, barred from the track and the
privileges of the quarter stretch during this
meeting, for a foul committed in that race.
He took the punishment good-naturedly.
Keepsake was fined $25 for going off the
track contrary to the order of the judges,
after the first heat in the three-quarter run
ning race.

given positions in the race in the order
named. At 2:15 the horses were called to the
track, and at 2:45 started. On the back
stretch Oregon led, but on the upper turn all
three were together. On the turn into the
home stretch Nevada passed to the front and
came in in 1:47-, Superba close behind, with
Oregon about 40 feet in the rear. Complaint
of fool was made by the jockey of Superba,
but it was without avail, as the judges
thought the race was fair.
The judges were Phil E Evans, John Biel
enberg and W H Raymond, of Belmont
Park, Madison county. Mutuals paid $11.25.

Positions were assigned them in the order
named. At 3:25 the jockeys were called up
in front of the stand by President McMaster
what might be expected if any of them were
gnuilty of a foul, and they were then sent to
the starting point.
FIRST HEAT.
Aboat 25 minutes was consumed in start
ing. At 3:50 o'clock the flag dropped and
away they went. The horses kept close to
gether until the eoutcome, when Red Elm
went under the wire in 481, Runday 2d, Bogus
.d, Ida Glen 4th and John Hall 5th. The
distance pole was only fifteen yards, yet the
horses were so close that none were dis
tanced, as was the expectation. Mutnals
paid on Red Elm 651.35. The sale of pools
now increased in about the following propor
tiloans: Bogus $30, Ida Glen $10, third choice
$5. and $3 for the field.
SECOND HEAT.
At 4:20 the horses were again sent to the
half mile post. Again the crowd became
impatient at the time consumed in starting,
but finally the horses sped away, and made a
close race from the beginning, Bogus coming
in 1st, Red Elm 2d, Ida Glen 3d, Sunday 4th
and John Hall 5th. Time 50. Mutuals paid
S9.20 on Bogus.

Carrie B, b m-W H Raymond.
Contractor, b g-C R Fickett.
John F, b g-D T Arnaud."
FIRST HEAT.
All the horses went off their feet in the
first quarter, in consequence of which Ollie
got a good lead. She was so far ahead on
the upper turn at one time that it was
thought the others would be distanced, but
she slackened her pace on the home stretch
and came in winner in 2:32#, Carrie Belle 26,
Contractor 3d and John F 4th.
Ollie led in the pools.
The judges in this race were W A Fry, P
E Evans and John Bielenberg.
THE SECOND HEAT
was called a few minutes before 6 and the
horses sent off at once. Contractor was be
hind at the start and broke as soon as he
went under the wire, and before he could re
cover lost a hundred yards of ground. Clara
Belle led all around until the half mile poet
was reached, when Ollie grappled with her,
and from that point every inch was contested
by them to the finish, Clara Belle coming in
winner by a neck, Ollie 2d, Contractor 3d
and John F 4th.
THIRD HEAT.
Contractor got a bad start and at the same
time flew off the ground, leaving him so far
behind that he never recovered his distance.
Ollie led in the heat to within 100 yards of
the judges' stand, when Carrie B came up
and passed under the wire neek ahead, Ollie

POURTE .EALTH.
Complaint was made against the driver of
Ollie that he was not driving her to win, and
the horse was placed in charge of the Mar

Sawyer, provided for her.
All the horses got away nicely, but Ollie
broke and lost ground on the first turn. Car

THE CITIZENS' TICKET.
Excellent Nominations for Munlelpal 015f
Pursuant to call, a meeting of citizens of
Deer Lodge took place at the Court House
on Monday evening last, and was called to
order by O. B. O'Bannon, Esq.
On motion, James H. Mills was elected
Chairman, and Thomas Morgan Secretary.
The objects of the meeting being stated to be
the nomination (by those assembled) of a
Mayor and six Aldermen for the town of
Deer Lodge, to be voted for at the election
to be held Tuesday, August 21,1888:
It was moved and carried that the meeting
proceed to nominate a Mayon, whereupon
several gentlemen were placed in nomina
tion, and a number whose business prevented
their candidacy, declining. Messrs. J. C.
Robinson and O. B. O'Bannon were appoint
ed tellers and a vote taken on the nominees
H. R. Whitehill, John O'Neill and Geo. W.
Carlton. Mr.Whitehill receiving a majority
of the votes cast on first ballot was declared
the nominee of the meeting, and on motion
of Mr. Cummings, the nomination was made
unanimous.
On motion, residents present from each of
the several districts, as shown on the plat
accompanying the application for incorpora
tion, assembled and reported to the meeting
the following recommendations for Alder
men, viz: J. C. Robinson, H. H. Zenor, l.t
dist.; John O'Neill, Lew. Coleman, 2d dist.;
D. J. McMillan, James M. Bailey, 3d dist.;
whereupon the reports were received and on
motion the persons named declared the
nominees of the meeting for Aldermen of
the town of Deer Lodge.
On motion the Chair was instructed to ap
point an Executive Committee of five to fill
any vacancies that might occur on the ticket,
and the Chair appointed as said committee
Messrs. F. R. Bill, O. B. O'Bannon, E. L.
Bonner, Willard Bennett and George W.
Carlton. Adjourned.
The ticket above selected is a good one.
Mr. Whitehill is a capable, public-spirited
and worthy gentleman, and the Aldermen
are good representative men of like charac
ter, will sustain him in good government
and do all they can for the benefit of the
town. These nominations do not prevent
others from being made, but the ticket is so
well selected that we anticipate it will re
ceive the cordial support of the public. We
notice that White Sulphur Springs, after a
recent town election, found a number of its
officers-elect were ineligible, and hence the
organization is delayed. It would be well
for the Executive Committee to see that
there are no ineligible candidates on the
ticket, as it is desirable to get organized and
get a thousand dollars worth of street work
out of vagrants yet this fall. There will be
fewer tramping "vags" and rounders on this
line for the county to pay board for after
Anaconda and Deer Lodge get organized and
they are sentenced to hard labor.
Renews Her Youth.
Mrs. Phmobe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co.,
Iowa, tells the following remarkable story,
the truth of which is vouched for by the res
idents of the town: "I am 73 years old, have
been troubled with kidney complaint and
lameness for many years; could not dress
myself without help. Now I am free from
all pain and soreness, and am able to do all
my own housework. I owe my thanks to
Electric Bitters for having renewed my
youth, and removed completely all disease
and pain." Try a bottle, 50c and $1, at Deer

THE PAYETTE NURSERIES.
Idaho Trees, Shrubbery and Bulbs Adapted
to Klontana.
Mr. W. G. Whitney, of Whitney Bros.'
Payette Nurseries, Idaho, has been in the
valley some time taking orders for nursery
stock, and has trebled his sales of last year,
when he made his first canvass here. Not
withstanding the hard winter at th, . .
a.., o*.w ..` iuugnt last spring has sub
stantiated the claim that nursery stock raised
near by, at nearly the same altitude and lati
tude, and subjected to about the same cli
mate, should grow better than that brought
from more remote places and raised under
greatly different climatic conditions. It has
done remarkably well, and the prices are
lower than other nurseries have been charg
ing. Whitney Bros. deliver in the spring.
Persons desiring stock in their line should
send for a circular to Whitney Bros., Pay
ette, Idaho.

Some Items About the Twenty-Second En
campment at Columbus, O.
The encampment begins Wednesday, Sep.
tember 12th. The grand parade takes place
Tuesday, September 11th. Comrades should
reach there by Monday, September 10th.
Fare via the Northern Pacific from Butte,
Helena, and all common boints in Montana
for the round trip is $62.65. These tickets
are good to go on September 5th and 6th, and
good to return, when stamped by the agent
at Columbus, Ohio, until October 19th.
Montana comrades desiring to accompany
the Commander-in-Chief's train should pur
chase tickets via the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad, as the train will go over
that road without change of cars, running
from St. Paul to Columbus, 715 miles, in
about 24 hours. Double berth, large enough
for two persons, on sleeping car from St.
Paul to Columbus on that line is about $3,00.
Application for sleeping berths on that line
should be made beforehand to W. H. Dixon,
A. G. P. A. at St. Paul.
The Northern Pacific Grand Army train
will leave Missoula, Helena, and interme
diate points on Wednesday evening, Sept.
5th, and reach Minneapolis so all can visit
the Exposition on "Soldiers' Day," Sept. 8th.
At 6 o'clock the same evening the train will
leave for Columbus.
Headquarters for the Montana and Dakota
delegations will be in the Board of Health
Room in the State Capitol building, where
all comrades are requested to call and regis
ter on arrival.
Although 250,000 visitors are expected in
Columbus it is believed all can be comfort
ably provided for. All hotels, boarding
and lodging houses have agreed not to ad
vance their rates during the encampment.
Meals in private families and boarding
houses are 25, 35 and 50 cents, and lodging 50
cents. The hotels charge from $1.50 to 54
per day. Dining tables in the camps will
accommodate 12,500 at a sitting, and lunch
counters, at regulated prices, afford room for
7,000 more. Arrangements had already been
made, Aug. 9th, to accommodate 40,000 Grand
Army men. Applications for accommoda
tions can be made from now on to Alfred E.
Lee, Secretary of General Council, Colum.
bus, Ohio.
It is in contemplation, if a sufficient num
ber of comrades apply, to charter a Pullman
car at Helena to Columbus and return, re
taining it there for lodging while in the city.
Information as to this can be obtained of
Commander Junius G. Sanders, Helena,
Montana.
The excursion rates are not limited to
members of the G. A. R. The rate Is open
to all on the dates mentioned.
This will probably be the greatest of all
the reviews of the Grand Army of the Re
public. The Old Guard is passing away.
The falling of the leaders is noticed as when
great oaks fall in the forest, but as leaves
flutter down in the autumn forests the sub
alterns, and the rank and file in proportion,
are dropping down unnoticed everywhere.
There will never again be so many assembled
as there will be at Columbus next month.
The season is propituous, the people hospit
able, the city central and accessible.
The delegates from Montana to the en
campment are James H. Mills, Deer Lodge;
M. P. Wyman, Glendive; Alternates, R. E.
Fisk, Helena; James E. Calloway, Virginia
City. The first named of these has not seen
one hundred old comrades together since the
Union armies disbanded. He hopes to be
present when the Assembly is sounded for
the 22d Encampment, and trusts many others
of the Montana comrades will also avail
themselves of perhaps the last opportunity.
It is within the reach of many. Try to go.
Overhauling Masotlc Hall.
Mr. J. N. Fox, with a force of assistants,
is raising the Masonic Hall building three
feet, and will drop the Hall floor two feet,
thus greatly improving it. We recollect
when its construction was considered-nearly
twenty years ago, when Judge Knowles,
Judge Dance, Elwell, and a dozen other old
timers now gone or removed, discussed
through long hours the proportions and cost
of what was then to be, next to the old Court
House, the finest building in Deer Lodge.
and when it was completed what regal balls
were held in its splendid and commodious
frst floor, with the privilege of the hall for
promenade and music. We asked nothing
better then. Deer Lodge "pointed with
pride" to its magnificent Masonic building,
our hearts were content, and our Butte
friends driving forty miles through snows
and the alkali swamps of Lost Creek to at
tend on state occasions,were filled with envy
when they entered its portals. Conditions
have changed-somewhat. The building is
not up to the requirements of the times, and
must be overhauled. But that done, it will
be very comfortable quarters, even for the
Masonic fraternity, which is now growing
much more rapidly than ever since a Lodge
was first instituted in Deer T.odge.
A Little Girls' Entertainment.
Seven of the little girls of Deer Lodge.
who originated the enterprise themselvets
will give an entertainment at Cottonwood
Hall on Monday evening, August 20th, for

consisting of a doll show, tableaux and
music. Admission 50 cents; children half
price. Tickets for sale at Coleman's. No
reserved seats.
atop That Cough.
Great danger often results from neglected
coughs, and it will not do to experiment
with medicines boomed by imported testimo
nials of parties whose very existence is ques
tionable. The proper thing to do is to al
ways keep in your cupboard a bottle of
Acker's English Remedy, which has proved
so satisfactory to our own fellow citizens:
Read this home testimonial:
DaEER LODGE, Oct. 8, 1887.
I have been suffering some time from a
painful chronic cough, and have used Shiloh's
and other medicines without experiencing
the least benefit. Recently I purchased a
bottle of Acker's English Remedy, which
has cured me. I firmly believe that for affec
tions of the throat and chest it possesses
marvelous curative powers.
