with all their gall, they dare not utter it.
The harmony of the social party at the
County Clerk's office last evening was in

Persons from the vicinity of Maiden
arrive in Great Falls nearly every day.
They bring with them ore and wheat,

growing metropolis.
The "ins" of the county officials gave a

with the popping of champagne bottles.

by the growlings of Mother O'Dwyer,
which were soon peremptorily hushed.
The Outs are going, Long live the Ins.
A gentleman residing in the southern
part of the city discovered beneath his
window at a late hour a short time ago
an individual who was obviously upon no
mission of charity. He was a midnight
prowler upon .his. nocturnal trip of
robbery. His efforts to effect an entrance
through the window were unsuccessful.
Had he succeeded in getting into the
house he would have been the recipient
of sufficient lead to pay for transporting
him to the smelter, and his chances of
longevity would have amounted to nil;
On general principles he ought to have
been shot anyway.
Not a Careful Reader.
"The Great Falls Tribune writer does
not read carefully," said U. S. Marshal
Kelley to a reporter yesterday, "or he
would have taken no exception to what was
printed in the Independent relative to re
cent fires there. I do not mean to convey
the idea that the buildings were destroy
ed by the owners in order to get the in
surance on them, and the Independent
article would have to be distorted to get
such a meaning from it. Sheriff Downing
was my authority for saying a number of
disreputable characters had recently ar
rived in Great Falls. I incline to the
conviction that he is as fully advised as to
the inhabitants of Great Falls as the
Tribune writer."-Helena Independent.
Of course he doesn't read carefully, but
no one in Great Falls ever notices what
the champion prevaricator says or does.
1. S. Lang a Co.
In our columns this morning will be
seen the business card of the great house
furnishing establishment of Messrs. F. S.
Lang & Co., Helena. Mr. Lang,the foun
der, is a practical thorough metal-worker
and inventor of the hot-air furnace on the
ventilating system, now rapidly coming
into favor. Employing twenty to thirty
men, this is one of the most complete
;e 1 eAý ,,st..-In sact.It, is
doubtful whether in Chicago, St. Paul, or
any other of the larger cities can be found
a stock so fully embracing every con
ceivable article of household utility or
ornament whether for the cottage or the
palace. It is a veritable museum of
house furnishings. Theirshow-cases and
galvaniued iron cornices, manufactured
and put up under their own supervision,
are an important feature of their business.
The Blue Bird Mine.
One of the most valuable mining prop
erties at Butte is the Blue Bird, situate
in the western limits of the town. A re
cent visit to the mines disclosed the wel
come fact that under the present efficient
ownership and management, this mine is
rapidly entering the lists with the first
leads of the great silver and copper-pro
ducing camp of the world. Mr. Roty E.
Booraem, the vigorous and competent
superintendent of the mine, together with
his associates, are making most thorough
development work, and the timbering is
said to be the finest in the camp. The
ores carry an assay value of $70 to the ton,
the output being from fifteen to twenty
five tons per day, which will be greatly in
creased in a very short time.
A Warning.
Our citizens are righteously indignant
over certain recent occurrences. The
town shlould be rid of despicable charac
ters. There is no need of concealing the
fact that there have been of late many
vagrants and tough-appearing men around
this city, and all who are sincerely inter
ested in the maintenance of a moral,
peaceful and healthful community should
lend their influence in ousting from
among us such creatures, who are only
fit to be associates of savages.

terday in their special car and proceeded
at once to the great smelter. It is inti
mated that some important changes are
to be made-about time.
