Some of the great medicine firms pay their advertising agents as high as $10.000 a year; and a certain manufacturer of soap pays his advertiser $25,000. Just think of it, and, while you are thinking, just remember that The Yellow Kid and his company of artists present his latest success “Ho- gan’s Alley,” to you shortly. Jack Jolly is dead, and If the reports con- cerning the manner in which his death came about are true, he passed to the un- known via* that route which holds out greater inducements to men wearing boots than to any other class. In other words, Mr. Jolly died with his boots on at the end of a rope—he was hanged by a vigi- lance committee in Alaska for alleged con- duct unbecoming a gentleman and scholar. Concerning the event, a telegram from /ancouver,' British Columbia, says: Vancouver, IJ. C., Jan. 5.—The steamer Rosalie has arrived from the north with 100 passengers, all from Dawson. The party made the trip in 17 days. The steamer had $50,000 in gold dust on board. The passen- gers bring news of a sensational lynching which took place at Eagle City, Alaska, on December 11. Jack Jolly, a saloonkeeper and gambler, had collected a gang of toughs around hint and was terrorizing the mining camps. He was waited on by a vigilance committee of 12 determined men and ordered to leave the town. He refused, and the next day the vigilantes hanged him to a limb of a tree. The toughs and gamblers who had made his place their headquarters immediately left the town. MURRAY IS DEAD. PASSED AWAY AT 4:30 O'CLOCK YES- TERDAY AFTERNOON. Alexander Murray, who was stabbed at the Boulevard house on Sunday evening, died at 4:30 o’clock at the St. James hos- pital yesterday afternoon from his injuries. A charge of murder will now be placed against James Neary, his alleged assailant. The body of the dead man was removed to Richards’ understaking rooms, and i an tnT quest will be held by Coroner Julien to- night. The sisters at the hospital who nursed Murray during his stay there, say that he was the most self-sustained and patient man they had ever had in the institution. Ho commenced sinking yesterday morning and death came at the hour stated. During his illness he was constantly attended by his sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, who keep the Braund hojuse. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 p. m. from the residence of his’ sister, Mrs. Nell McDonald, Braund house, Rev. E. J. Groeneveld officiating. THE CITY COUNCIL Contracts For City Printing: Were Awarded to INTER MOUNTAIN AND MINER Considerable Business of Routine Nature Was Transacted— Commfttees’ Reports THE NEWS IN BRIEF Representative Stephens of Texas yes- terday introduced a bill providing for the opening of all mineral lands on In- dian reservations. They are to be opened under the mineral land laws, and miners are to pay the Indians royalties. Bounty claims to the amount of $88,869 were filed with the clerk of the board of examiners during the past year. This amount represents what the state must pay for the destruction of 5,869 wolves and 23,754 coyotes. The claims from Custer county are the largest, $17,046. Valley comes next with $13.620: Choteau _ . , _ „ „ , third, $13,464; Fergus fourth, $7,041, and On the day the steamer left Dawson, Myrtle j Yellowstone fifth, $6,606.

During his political career he formed a matrimo- j niai alliance with Mollie Dimurska, pro- . I prietress of a house within the proscribed •g j district, but it was not lasting. At the end ' of the first year he was ready to go into ! the hands of a receiver, while his wife held 87 coyotes were punched in that county last year, providing that all the claims have been filed.

Of all the rotten shows that ever struck this town, this one took the palm. It was bum with a big B. About sixty people were unfortunate enough to be present.

Most of the work done during the session was of the routine order, tho awarding of the con- tract for city printing and publishing cre- ating just a small ripple during tho pro- ceedings. The printing committee reported in favor of awarding the contract for city printing, job work, etc., to the Inter Moun- tain, and the publishing of ordinances, etc., to the Miner. The report was unanimously adopted. The mayor opposed it and claimed that tho bids were too high, and through tho city clerk presented a mass of figures which meant nothing. Alderman McArthur stated that to his knowledge much of the city printing during the past year was done in Helena, in violation of the ordinances on that subject. A communication was received from A. \\. Barnard, asking that certain of his property be no longer advertised for sale as delinquent, inasmuch as he has paid tho special assessments. A committee of two aldermen and the mayor was appointed with power to confer with the board of county commissioners In regard to the remitting of taxes. The contract and bond of George Arm- strong for laying a new floor in the fire station was approved. A petition from all the members of the fire department for a day’s leave of ab- sence every eight days instead of every 12 days was granted. The mayor appointed Aldermen McArthur and Paseoe as a special committee on as- sessment. The city engineer was Instructed to make necessary repairs to the Buffalo gulch sewer. On recommendation of tho fire commit- tee a new horse was ordered for the fire chief. W ater mains were ordered laid on Alumi- num street from Washington to Jackson streets. In the matter of the bill of T. J. Harring- ton policeman, it was ordered that he be allowed pay for seven days, whh n he lost by reason of having u sprained Knee which injury he received while in the discharge of his duty.

One of them was located in a room over the old Mint saloon, on Main street, and was under the general super- vision of William W. Byther, a native of Maine, who was as square a man in his business as ever opened a jackpot or shuf- fled a card. About 9 o’clock in the even- ing of August 9, Jolly entered the place and after an attempt to get up a light with sev- eral persons, Byther included, by insulting them, he whipped out a knife and stabbed Byther several time. The wound was so seflous that it weakened Byther and he contracted typhoid fever. While delirious he jumped through the window of his room, on tho third floor of the D’Acheul block, and broke bis left arm. A few days later he died. After the stabbing Jolly escaped, but was captured in the eastern part of the city on the following day and consigned to quarters in the county jail. Three months from that time found him in the penitentiary to which institution he had been sentenced for three years for his crime. His sentence expired about 18 months ago, and although he returned to Butte afterwards It was only for a short stay. At that time the Klondike excite- ment was running wide open and Jolly joined in the mad rush for Dawson City.

Sulh- erlin. commissioner for Montana at the Omaha exposition, spent some time the other day with the state board of ex- aminers while it was engaged in auditing his accounts. The bills of the commis- sioner amount to about $200 more than the money at present available in the fund. At the beginning of the fiscal year the appropriation for the fund, of which there was remaining about $200, reverted to the general fund. Mr. Sutherlin has shipped all exhibitions to their owners with the exception of one picture, which seems to be missing. That is a picture of “Meditation,” painted by Mrs. Georgia McNeal Martin of Butte, and it was given a prominent place in the Montana building during the exposition. Mr. Rutherlin believes that the picture was packed in some box not yet opened and has no idea that it is actually lost. EARLY mail. Lake Tribune: W. A. Clark, the mining man and banker, is suing G. Campbell in the Third district court for $19,000, alleged to be due on a mining deal. According to the allegations of the complaint, on October 1, 1898, L. C. Trent entered into a contract to purchase for Mr. Clark 95,112 shares of the stock of ing. ao ~ i claim the Ophir Mill Mining company and 1,000 lar postofflee force has been detailed for j shares of the stock of the Ophir Hill Min- night duty for the purpose of distributing nuu-tca * ■ 1-» _ i» __ *» __ ti AMMi.rna rPliA nhomrn will hn John Caplice it Co., concerning which wo had an interview on Saturday, we desire to make you an offer of $1,000 as a compro- mise settlement of the taxes referred to. As stated then, we prefer to pay (his sum to entering into litigation, and wifi be glad to be advised by you of its acceptance.” The matter was referred to a special committee, to be appointed by the mayor. A claim for $350 damages Caused by a de- fective sewer at 37 West Woolman street was presented by James Wilton, it was re- ferred to the sewer eommitlce. The city clerk reported the bond furnished by Curtis & Mahan for conducting a roller rink insufficient. The clerk was instructed to notify the. rink people to this effect. Harrison & White, who sub-leased the ar - mory for (he rink, asked that Die contract be annulled, as the rink could not be run successfully without making too much noise. The following report of tho Judiciary com- mittee was adopted: “We recommend that Council Bill No. 17S be passed. We recommend that the claim of N. S. Ledford for sidewalks bo post- poned.
