A Mrs. jNiedenhofen 39 W. Park GOES TO LAUREL McNEILL BECOMES SUPERINTEN- DENT OF SCHOOLS— HE IS A MISSOURI EDUCATOR. CARPET COMPANY SELLS OUT. Death Dismembers the Montgomerys —Royal Neighbors Will Give a Masquerade Ball. Billings, Dec. 4, 1900. D. H. McNeill left Sunday for Laurel to take charge of the schools, he having been elected principal. Mr. McNeill has been clerking for the past ten months for Joseph Zimmerman in litis city, lie came to Billings from Missouri, where he was engaged in school work. Be holds a first grade certificate, and is well recommended by educators of Mis- souri. i SPECIAL BOARD. If -------- W EAK STOMACHS, requiring special diet and good cooking, can find same at 825 W. Copper. Furnished rooms if desired. The baggeman at the I'nion Station, Chicago, made an enviable record dur- ing the recent G. A. R. encampment. Usually the loss of baggage at these en- campments amounts to considerable, but this year the work was splendidly sys- tematized and the loss was insignificant —four parcels. The number of trunks, grips, satchels, bundles, parcels, et cetera, handled during the four days of the encampment exceeded that of any similar time in the history of Chicago. The railroads entering the Union Station are: The Burlington, the Pennsylvania, the Alton and the St. Paul. • Something over a year ago a club known as the Montgomerys was or- ganized in this city. This club was composed entirely of young men, the members being Win. J. Reifenvatch, \V. Lee Mains, J. M. Seaman, H. V. Bailey, Allan Farrel and E. B. Carter. How they came to take up such a name is beyond the power of human imagination. They secured a pleasant suite of rooms in the upstairs of the Goss block, over B. W. Toole's store, and furnished them in an elegant man- ner, everything being made comfortable and homelike. It was a jolly and agreeable club, and many are the hap- py evenings spent by the boys. They had a piano, and two or three of them being musical, they would sing and play for the entertainment of the oth- ers. All the members were more like brothers than friends, and they would confide in each other. One of the agree- ments of the club organization was that the last member to join the matri- monial ranks should fall heir to the furniture, etc. During t'he past few months it became apparent that Cupid was making quite an impression upon at least four of the members and that ■'Boxy” Farrel and Jack Seaman would most likely contest for the furniture. But the club is no more. It disbanded last week and the furniture was sold to the highest bidder. A few weeks ago death visited the club’s ranks, taking therefrom Wm. J. Reifenrath, who was one of its most prominent members and a young man respected and loved by every one in Billings. His death broke the link which bound the Mont- gomerys together, and was the means of causing the disbandment of the club, to the regret of each member. Cut Glass J* J* J* W E HAVE NO HESITATION in inserting that inspection will prove that for extent, beauty and depth of cut, crystal-like purity, elaborate pattern and unique designs there is no collection west of the Missouri river that will compare with our grandly beautiful showing of the artistic productions of the world famous Hawkes make. It’s the wonder and ad- miration of all who behold its glittering ra.dia.nce. It can be truly likened to the sparkling of sunlit morning dew. The sur- prises offered by the new gems it contains follow each other like the bounding waves of old ocean. Here we are compelled to go from the sublime to the rediculous, as our prices are ridiculously low. Cvit Glass Vacses Very pretty.

Mr. Purvis was the first member to have a birthday, being 27 years of age on Thanksgiving day. It gave the club something to be thankful for, and it pro- eeed.d to celebrate in a manner bîfitlng the occasion. The members assembled and promptly at 9 o'clock marche J to the hall, led toy C. C. Bever, toastmaster. AVhin all were seated, and the first 'course had been served, Taostmaster ltever made a few opening remarks, to which Mr. Purvis responded in a very eloquent speech. Following each course the different members responded to toasts, prolonging the programme until after 12 o'clock. The «. O. K. M. quar- tette sang seveial of their choice selec- tions.

One of the pleasant social events nf the season was the birthday banquet giv- j en Thursday evening by the S. O. K. M. ! Birthday club, at its room. In honor of William Purvis. The club is a new so- cial organization in the city, and its en- tertainments are somewhat novel and unique. It was organized for the pur- pose of tendering a banquet to each Fapers in a damage suit were filed in court Saturday, wherein W. K. Sud- duth sues J. W. Newton to recover $1.700 damages and $200 costs of case. The plaintiff alleges that on or about Novem- ber 13. 1900. he toought of the defendant all of the latter’s wether sheep at $3 per head, and that he paid down $1 per head to bind the contract: that the defendant was to deliver the sheep at Fairview j just as soon as was possible to drive j them from the ranches of the defendant on the Musselshell river: that the sheep were to be inspected by the plaintiff, M. F. Trask, his superintendent, and A. C. Logan, deputy sheep inspector for Yellowstone county, at Twenty Mile ranch, inspection to be made prior to de- livery of sheep at Fairview. The plain- tiff then alleges that on or about November 21, 1900, defendant b l j all of his wether sheep, n u m o f . - . in~ about 5,700 head, at Twenty Mile ranch for Inspection. One band ! containing 3,000 head were adjudged by the parties named about as sound and merchantable sheep and not infected with any disease, while the remaining 2,700 head were adjudged infected with scab and were then and there quaran- tined by Deputy Inspect!' Logan; that the plaintiff then and there demanded that defndant deliver the 3.000 head of sound sheep according to the terms of the agreement, but defendant refused' and still refuses to do so. The plaintiff further states that before and at the time of purchase he made arrangement.* lor feeding and wintering the sheep artd lias gone to considerable expense to do this. He asks that he be given $1,700 damages and $200 costs of suit. O. F. Goddard is his attorney. Twin Bridges, Dec. 4.—One of theh most notable events of Thanksgiving day was the celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Jordan at their home on Fish creek. The most pleasant feature was the family reunion, all mem- ber? being present, which now consists of the aged couple themselves, four daughters, Mrs. W. W. MicOall, and Mrs. Arthur Phelps, of W hitehall: Mrs. R. B. Wampler, of Pony; Mrs. F. A. Riggin, of Browning, and two sons, Jasper O. Jordan, of Butte; Rev. W alter M. Jordan, pastor of the First Christian church of Helena. HUMOR. *' Fate has 'been extremely kind to the Anglican school of humor. For nFte had a man by the name of Minie Invent a gun, and hereupon the ‘Anglican school of humor conceived of a lady visiting an arsenal and asking a sol- dier there: "What gun is used the maximum?” And the soldier replying: “The Minie, mum.” This was believed to be the High-W a - ter Mark of Anglican humor. But. no! Fate went still further and caused a man by the name of Maxim to invent a gun. "W hat gun is used the maximum?” the lady asks at the arsenal. “The Maxim, mum!” replies the soldier. W hat, pray, could be more exquisitely droll than this?—Detroit Journal. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown TALKED Linoleum They were prudent women and took council one of the other regarding all their purchases. The Brown kitchen and the Smith dining room were to be brightened up for Christmas with new floor coverings. Mrs. Smith’s mind had been won over from carpet to linoleum for her dining room by Mrs. Brown’s glowing description of the new patterns we have just received, and Mrs. Smith’s remark that “the best linoleum wouldn’t last any too long on a kitchen,” brought forth the reply that our linoleums were certainly the best season- ed, heaviest enameled and most lasting floor cov- erings to be found in Butte for the price. We have taken the orders of A\rs. Smith and Mrs. Brown. How abo * yours? Consider the Prices They start at 59c a yard for all the reliability and beauty of pattern to be found elsewhere for 75c a yard. The swellest and newest of patterns for dining room floors are here for 75c instead of a dollar a yard as asked elsewhere. The oldest, best seasoned (consequently the longest wearing linoleum) the kind that built up our reputation for selling the best, the kind to be had here and no- where else, we sell for $1.00 a yard.

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. BrownTA L K E D
L inoleumThey were prudent women and took council
one of the other regarding all their purchases. The Brown kitchen and the Smith dining room were to be brightened up for Christmas with new floor coverings. Mrs. Smith’s mind had been won over from carpet to linoleum for her dining room by Mrs. Brown’s glowing description of the new patterns we have just received, and Mrs. Smith’s remark that “the best linoleum wouldn’t last any too long on a kitchen,” brought forth the reply that our linoleums were certainly the best seasoned, heaviest enameled and most lasting floor coverings to be found in Butte for the price. We have taken the orders of A\rs. Smith and Mrs. Brown. How abo * yours?
Consider the PricesThey start at 59c a yard for all the reliability
and beauty of pattern to be found elsewhere for 75c a yard. The swellest and newest of patterns for dining room floors are here for 75c instead of a dollar a yard as asked elsewhere. The oldest, best seasoned (consequently the longest wearing linoleum) the kind that built up our reputation for selling the best, the kind to be had here and nowhere else, we sell for $1.00 a yard.
