Captain J. V. Sullord, of i l earlier ounty, this morning presented the H e r -

v(.i > with three tine apples, taken from his orchard on his ranch at the mouth of \valam he gulch, 25 miles east of Helena, i or size, beauty and davor they exeeell any of the apples brought from Oregon I ml Washington Territory and sold in Helena markets. Three years ago the Captain set out several apple trees, pro­cured from the Geneva nursery, and this is the second year that they have borne fruit. This year s crop is of course small, but the specimens given to the H e r a l d show the excellent quality of the fruit aud also demonstrate that Montana can produce as liue apples as any other country of her latitude and climatic conditions. Captain Stafford's apples are of two varieties—the Tetofskin and Duchess of Oldenburg. The lormer are small but of tine grain and ex- ellent flavor, while one specimen of the

latter, now in the H k k a i . d office, measures tour inches in diameter and weighs over half a pound. Like other old timers, who have discovered in late years that Mon­tana's soil and climate are favorable to the growth of this fruit, Captain Stafford re­grets that he did not earlier turn his atten­tion to growing apples. Still the cultiva- j tion of the fruit is growing more wide- | -pread in the Territory every year, and in- licates that in the near future the apple rop will not be the least important among !

die products of Montanas soil.

East night a couple of distinguished vis- . tois arrived at the Grand Central Hotel n the persons of Chevalier E. de Hesse- ■Yartegg and his wife, known ou the oper- itic stage as Madame Miuuie Hauk, the •elebrated prima donna ot song. Madame | H a u k accorded a few moments' audience to a H e u a i .I» reporter in the parlors of the Grand Central this morning, just as she was on the poiut of departing to attend a rehearsal at the Opera House. M. M ar- tegg was present at the briet interview, md joined with his lieautilul spouse in ex­pressing delight at lieiug in Helena aud in massing encomiums upon the city and our ovely climate. They also expressed their ileasure over the proposed reception, and aid they would be gratified to meet locially the ladies aud gentlemen of ielena.

Madame Hauk is a comely woman, and vith her wonderful gift ot voice it is no ! vonder that she has become tamous iD tbe j operatic world. Her husband is no less ultured and refined as a gentleman. He ! s a foreigner ol noble birth, bis home aud j state beiug Binninger Castle, Switzerland, j le is widely known in this country and j

j Between nine o'clock and eleven last night the elegant parlors of Mr. and Mrs. AA . C. Child, at their residence on Ewing street, were filled with a brilliant com­pany, assembled per invitation to pay their respects to the Chevalier and Madame de Hesse Wartegg, the accomplished Minnie Hauk and her distinguished husband, fhe Chevalier de Kontski, the pianist of the concert company, was among the guests in whose honor the reception was held. Madame Wartegg stood in the main parlor, where she received all visitors with charm- ing grace and smiles of welcome that made her hosts of friends. She looked strikingly handsome in her magnificent evening costume—white brocaded satin, cut low in the neck aud with full train. She wore a profusion of diamonds.

Mr. and Mrs. Child received their guests in person, assisted by a few lady friends.

Madame Muellenbach and her charming daughter, Mons. Wartegg. M. de Kontski and Signor Spigaroli, of the visiting musi­cians, were present, and during the even­ing M. de Kontski condescended to favor the company with a selection on the piano. He chose one of his own compositions; “The Windsor Review,” and played it in a manner that proclaimed him master of the instrument. It elicited unbounded ap­plause.

Shortly after, the guests having all ar rived, Madame Wartegg pleaded extreme fatigue and withdrew her gracious presence from the company. Others of the visitors followed more or less speedily, and by 11 o'clock the parlors were nearly emptied.

It was a most enjoyable evening. The distinguished personages, iu whose honor the reception was held, accepted the courtesies tendered as grateful compli­ments, and the people of the city have reason to know that the attentions so worthily bestowed were duly appreciated by the recipients.

The reception is understood to have been given by the ladies and gentlemen of Helena. Mr and Mrs. Child lending their house for the occasion, but the prime movers in the matter and those who really originated it were Hon. A. J. Seligman and Dr. C. K. Cole, our worthy tellow towns­men.T H F . W O N D E R S O F AN ON D E R I . A N D

The great eruption of the Excelsior Gey­ser, which took place on the 2d inst. in the National Park, although subsiding, is still the object of great interest to tourists and visitors from the surrouuding eouutry. This great wonder, when it was fresher from the power that made it, was known as “Hell’s Half Acre,” and was supposed by those who have visited it since its dis­covery, in 1805, to he a still geyser, that is, it was never known to erupt before its first and last grand display on the 2d inst., simultaneous with the great earthquake at Charleston, South Carolina.

Mr. J. S. Hunt, of Los Angeles, Cala., who has spent two months in the Park, and who has very recently visited the Ex- cel ior, said this morning to a H e k a i .:> re­porter that tbe eruption was so great on the 2d inst. that great rocks were thrown out of the crater, heated to a red heat, which were thrown out as often as they fell back, until they dissolved and disap­peared in the gieat displacement that took down three acres of his Satanic Majesty's supposed pre-emption. The Excelsior cav­ern, which so many of Helena's visitors have looked into with fear and trembling, is now aglow with fervent heat and its rocky sides a red abyss of glowing rocks. The heated steam from this celebrated won­der is even now so great that sight-seers are driven away from tbe hellish cauldron on all sides 1'or hundreds of feet, except on the windward. Where the three acres were a few weeks ago, on which hundreds of people in carriages and stages congregated to look down this then murmuring crater, there is but an immense cave that would have swamped the whole population of Helena, had they beeu standing there as lookers-on at the time of the great erup­tion. Mr. Hunt says there are other won­ders in the Park that are almost weekly being brought to notice by enterprising explorers, the extent ot the petrifitd for­est, the Monument Geysers, the formation of the Sepulere Mountain, which shows the white silica deposit from the apex. 10,200 feet above sea level, down to its ‘base, and tbe out-cropping formation under Mount Everet, from the East Gardiner river to Bear Gulch, near Colonel Eaton's placer mines, lieing some ot them.

The extent and natural phases of the petrified forest have interested to a great de­gree this intelligent explorer, and his de­scriptions of these wonders which stand as eternal monuments over the mysterious ground that produced them, some ot which are sixty feet high, and the forest itself as one grand epitaph spreading tor scores of square miles, these truncated pétrifications which proclaim “the hand that made us is Divine” have well repaid us for this per­sonal interview.

The Fergus County Argus gives the de­tails a horrible tragedy that occurred at the ranch of Fred Uplinger, on Big Spring creek. Adolph Bare, a man who owed Thos. J. Leard some money on an old note, went to Uplinger’s ranch one night last week, where the Leard brothers were stay­ing. He retired with Thomas Leard and murdered him in the night. Before morn­ing Leard’s brother, Charley, came home and on entering the room Baro sprang at him with a knife. In trying to delend himself Leard dropped the light, which went out, and then the two men waged a mortal combat in the dark. It ended in the killing of Baro, and on striking a light after the affray Charley Leard discovered the dead body of his brother on the floor of the cabin, lying where he had been struck down by Baro. The latter met with speedy retribntion for his demoniac deed.

Last night Ming's Opera House was the scene of the grandest musical event that ever transpir­ed in Helena. It was the opening night of the Minnie Hauk Concerts, and the people of Helena were ready for the exceptional treat promised. At an early hour the au­dience began to arrive, and at half past eight the large auditorium of Ming’s Opera House

WAS COMPLETELY F IL L E D

by an assemblage of ladies and gentlemen as cultured, appreciative and critical as evei primma donna sang before in metro­politan cities. In point of numbers the audience was formidible and for elegant toilets it was quite as remarkable. Ladies in evening dress dotted the seats in every part of the house, and, as a rule, their escorts appeared in corresponding style, with swallow tail coats, kid gloves and crush bats. A more brilliant array of peo­ple neverornamented the dull interiorof the Opera House.

The concert opened with a duet by Messrs. Spigaroli and Fox—tenor and bari tone—which pleased the hearers greatly and had to lie repeated. Thus whetted the appetite of the audience craved more and more, and with every number of the programme their enthusiasm rose until on the entrance of Minnie Hauk it burst forth in a storm of applause. Once her grand voice raDg out in melodious cadeuces the pleasure ot her auditors was made evi­dent in frequent expressions of applause and each time the prima voiced a num­ber the enthusiastic audience demanded instant repetition. Her grand vocal powers were best exemplified in “La Styrienne, the celebrated echo song from Mignon. Her beautiful voice would ring out strong and clear in a

HI RST OF MELODIOUS SOUND

that penetrated everywhere and made the very walls vibrate, and suddenly the sound would cease, and instantly the mellow tones of the echo, sent forth trom the trained throat of the songstress, would reach the ears of the audience, for all the world like the same notes repeated by a similar voice in the distance. It was grand, aud on its conclusion the house shook with applause. The accomplished artiste graciously conceded the encores de­manded by her enthusiastic auditors and accorded to the first recall the charming Scotch ballad, “Coming Thro' tbe Rye." which was sung as it was never heard in Helena before. After the echo song she was recalled twice, and so pleased was she withher flattering reception that she drew off her gloves and seated heraelf at the piano, whence to her own accompaniment her beautiful voice rose iu plaintive sweetness in “The Old Folks at Home” and “I'mOwer Y'oung to Marry Yet" —popular songs that, rendered as she gave them, touched the hearts of her audience and drew forth enthusiastic applause.

The other musicians ably seconded the prima’s magnificent performance. Miss Mattie Muelenbach, though young to the stage, gave evidences of ability that prom- I ises her a brilliant future. She has a rich contralto voice, under excellent control, and joins to her vocal powers grace of figure and beauties of person. In her duet with Madame Hauk, as well as in the opening song of the operatic part ot the programme, her rare vocal powers were made manifest.

TH E C H EV A LIER DE KONTSKI.

shared the honors with Madame Hauk iu his different sphere. His piano recital was supeib, and equalled the performance of Joseft’y in brilliance of execution. His rendition of variations on airs from Faust, as well as of bis own composition, the “Re­veille de Lion," was wonderful. His exe­cution is marked by marvelous sweetness and astonishing strength. He was recalled again and again.

The two male voices are excellent. Mr. Fox possesses a powerful and musical bari­tone, that he showed off to advantage in bis solo, “The Wolf," which had to be re­peated to satisfy the clamors of the audi­ence. Signor Spigaroli has a strong, correct tenor, though not of very wide range. His solo and part work were equally satisfac­tory.

G RAN D O PERA.

For the first time the walls of Ming's Opera House resouuded to the strains of grand opera, sung from the stage by char­acters in full costume. The garden scene from Faust was creditably given for the limited cast, and was fully as much en­joyed as the miscellaneous concert that preceded it. Madame Hauk made a charm­ing Marguerita, aud sang the “jewel song" and “King of Thule" most beautifully. In the concerted portions of the act, the voices of the quartette blended beautifully. In fact, the concluding part of the programme was in many respects the best and gave promise of the treat in store for the public to-night, when the whole programme will consist ot scenes from grand opera.

As a whole the concert was the finest ever given in Helena. Not only that, bnt it was the most exceptionally artistic mus­ical entertainment ever produced in Mon­tana. The high expectations of oar people were not disappointed, and the hearty wel­come in the nature of an ovation that was accorded Minnie Hank last night was worthily given and will never be regretted by her numerous admirers in Helena.

The Republican county convention called oat some electrifying eloquence from sev­eral of the delegates in speeches presenting the names of candidates for places npon the Republican ticket. Foremost of ora­torical efforts was that of T. H. Carter, Esq., in behalf of Mr. Baldwin for County Treas­urer, followed by the pointed and incisive utterance of I. Sahlinger, who arose to second the nomination. The short hand report of both speeches was prepared by Mr. Dickerson and we reproduce them as first presented in the Independent of Sun­day.

Authoritative advices reached Helena last night from Northern Pacific head­quarters announcing that the company had decided to build a branch to connect their main line with the great mining camp of ( Marysville. The project has been under consideration for some time and prelimi­nary surveys have also been made of the

t line, but not until last night was a final decision reached in the matter. IThis morning Chief Engineer Haven, of the Helena & Red Mountain Railway Co., went out to commence the location of the road— a work that will be finished in a few days. The branch line will leave the main track at Birdseye, a station eight miles west of ! Helena, by a route from 11 to 15 miles in length. As soon as the location survey is completed the work of building the road will lie let out by contract and will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possi­ble. It is not improbable that trains will be running between Helena and Marys­ville inside of two months.

The story of the alleged heroic conduct of one “Jane Me Arthur," whosaved “Judge" Armstrong and nearly all of his relatives from drowning in the Sun river and was at last drowned herself as she attempted to land the “judge’s" big spinster sister will not soon be forgotten. It was a very clever hoax, and if the expose had not followed soon, a monument would doubtless have been erected to the ill-fated heroine.

The River Press has just learned some facts of interest in connection with tRis most remarkable imposition on the puljjie. Jane McArthur, as she was known lav other days, is married and lives on tiré Teton, a few miles above Choteau, having moved to that place with her husb;)pd some months ago. Tbe story of her hero­ic exploit aud lamented death, as first pub­lished in the Inter-Mountain of Butte, was written by herself and forwarded to that paper to be made public, uot with the veiw of creating a sensation as was the re- | suit, but for the purpose of leading a cer­tain person who had something of a claim on or interest in “Jane McArthur to be- leive that she was dead and could be no more to him. This was the purpose for which the hoax was intended, but the brilliant imagination of the authoress led her to over do the business, to spread it on too thick, and the end sought was thus j defeated. This sequel will explain how such a ponderous lie could have been s arted.

S c h o o l Matter!» .

\Ve understand from Superintendent Howard that the school rooms are unusu­ally well tilled so early in the session. The eight rooms in the main building have an average of fifty pupils each. The new. South side building has about eighty, the West Side about seventy-five, the East Side alwmt forty, and the same at the De- ! pot, making a total of 635. The result shows that the South Side building was I more needed than either of those erected I since the Graded School house was Built. The new arrangements of the main build- | ing work delightfully. The rooms are uniformly heated and well ventilated.

The comfort, appearance, convenience aud available space have been increased in every room. Iu the higher department there is room for a few more pupils, and some trom outside of town would be wel­comed as tuition pnpils, aud they would get as good instruction and attention as anywhere iD the States.

H o w t h e C o l o n e l W a s T r e a t e d .

The Fergus County Argus reports Col. Johnston s speech at Livingston, in the course of which he referred to the demi­john story :

“He said Joe came to him in Helena and said he wanted to go a fishing, knowing pretty well his weak point. After they had left he saw an item in the H e r a i .d which said Joe had a jug with him ; if he had one the Colonel said he had not seen it.”

When Joe sailed out of Helena the Colonel was given to understand that the “bait box" was aboard. If, then, Joe kept it to himself up to the time sulphur water was struck, not permitting the Colonel to touch it, taste, smell, or see, that was not treating one Democrat as another Demo- | crat should. No wonder the “still hunt” turned out a failure.

D e a t h o f Mrs. R a s i n .

Mrs. J. M. Rasin. nee Miss Hattie La- Croix, died at her home in Benton last Saturday in confinement. The deceased was a highly educated and accomplished . lady. She was a daughter of Mr. L. F. LaCroix, of Helena. She leaves three children, the youngest but two weeks old. Her afflicted relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.

We think our Mayor acted wisely in vetoing the bill to reorganize our fire de­partment, involving as it did a'heavy in­crease of expenditure. Our city expenses j should not be increased. They ought to be reduced if possible. Until we get water works to supply the whole city, we are not in condition to think of increased expendi­tures of any kind. With proper water works, our whole system of fire defense will be changed. We should have a sup­ply and head enough, with well distributed hydrants, so that any bailding in town could be reached and covered in less time than our steamei conld get on tbe gronnd We say postpone all other questions till | this greatest one of all is settled, and then we can tell better what we want and what we can afford.

The Republicans of Lewis and Clarke are wide awake at the very outset of the campaign. Saturday's convention witnessed every precinct in the county represented, the attendance exceeding in number that of any assemblage of tbe kind ever con­vened in Helena. It may well be accepted as a harbinger of success at the November polls.

OTHER PROCEEDINGS.

The Board purchased 131 feet running half the length of the block behind the county jail property from Crounse & Mof- fitt for $1,687.50. Part of the purchase will be utilized for jail purposes and the balance will be left as an alley between the prison yard and the adjoining premises. This will leave a public thoroughfare on every side of the jail property and isolate it completely from private premises.

Stenographer Bean was allowed $32 for services iu the Roberts case. toThe bill of the Water Company for $30 for water rent was allowed.

The canal at Sun River having been re­ported satisfactorily completed, a warrant for $827 was ordered drawn in payment of the balance due on its construction.

The Board cancelled a number of war- rauts for small amounts that had lain in the Recorder's office uncalled for over a year.

Thos. Wilkinson, of Marysville, Wm. Cox, of Gloster and Wm. Floyd, of Em­pire were appointed viewers on the Marys- ville-Empire road, the viewers to meet in Theo. Shed's office, Marysville, on Septem­ber 27th, to commence their labors.

The barn and windmill at the county farm were reported nearing completion and warrants were ordered drawn for the pay­ment of the contractors when the work shall have been finished—$1,200 for the barn and $284 for the windmill.

A resolution was passed to notify the City Council that the Helena cemetery was becoming overcrowded and that, as such matters came under their jurisdiction, they should take steps to provide another burial place.

The Sheriff' having made a verbal re­quest for addional help at the jail, the Board authorized the employment of an additional guard at a salary of $75 per month, to be engaged as long as the pres­ent prisoners remain in the county jail.

The resignation of W. A. Ramsey, con­stable of Helena township, was received and accepted and Geo. W. White was ap­pointed to fill the vacancy.

During this session the total number of warrants ordered drawn on the different funds were as follows: Road$l,717.48;contingent, $8,976.11; poor, $2,875.89; general, $3,190.90; court house, $9,508,83.

Alaska's great glacier advances toward tbe sea at the rate of a quarter of a mile a year. Its front is some 500 feet high, its breadth varies from three to ten miles and it is about 120 miles long. Almost every fifteen minutes hundreds of tons of ice, iu large blocks, fall into the sea, which they agitate iu a violent manner. The ice is extremly pure and dazzling to tbe eye, and has tints of the lightest blue as well as of the deepest indigo. The top is very rough aud broken.
