Only a few thousand dollars more will have to be paid out by the United States Fidelity & Guarantee company in settling the labor claims held against Orman & Crook, sub-contractors for the St. Paul road south of Butte. The fidelity company, in accordance with its bond with the contracting firm, took over the affairs of the firm a little more than a week ago in order to complete the work on the road and to pay the labor claims due. Since assuming charge, the fidelity company, through W. C. Flannery, its engineer, has paid out between $60,000 and $70,000. The amount still due will be paid this week. ### Long Pay Line. The official announcement that the claims would be paid was soon made known among the men who held time checks against the firm and the pay line each day was lengthy. On several occasions the men waiting for their pay let their enthusiasm get away with them and steps had to be taken to preserve order. A considerable number of men had no resources other than their time checks and the payment of them was greatly to their liking. Mr. Flannery has inspectd [sic] the work done by the sub-contracting firm and has completed arrangements for finishing it. An important step taken was the reorganization of the working force, practically all the 500 men employed being laid off. A new crew is being hired, about 150 men having been put on the payroll again. The full quota of 500 will be made up, some of the former employes getting back on the job. ### W. C. T. U. WORK. The regular meeting of South Butte W. C. T. U. will be held tomorrow at the home of Mrs. Harry Kinsman, 407 West Boardman street, at 2:30 p. m. The white slave traffic and the department of Russia work will be the subjects of discussion. A matron's silver medal contest will be held on Wednesday evening at South Butte Presbyterian church, commencing at 8:15 o'clock. Mesdames Thomas Harmon, W. K. Foote, M. Geiger, Harry Kinsman, M. Evans and others will participate. Good music has been arranged for, and the public is cordially invited. ## Column 3 # GAELIC LEAGUE HAS BIG TIME ## CELEBRATES FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF ITS ORGANIZATION HERE. ## Hall at St. Mary's School Crowded With Interested Audience—Addresses Delivered and Delightful Program Is Rendered. An audience that taxed the capacity of St. Mary's school hall, assembled there yesterday afternoon to attend the exercises of the Gaelic league's first anniversary here. One year ago yesterday, the local branch of the league was organized in Engineer's hall and its charter members went to work with a will to build up the organization. That they succeeded admirably is attested by the fact that the league today has more than 300 members in Butte, all of whom are deeply interested in its work. The league has two class nights a week, and the attendance always is large. Splendid progress has been made by the members in learning to read and write Gaelic. Members who a year ago had no knowledge of Gaelic today are well versed in it. Men, women and children belong and all are doing well. The league is nonsectarian and nonpolitical, its purpose being to revive the Gaelic language and give all its members opportunity to become versed in the interesting and important history of Ireland. The leagues in all parts of America and Ireland are making concerted efforts to bring about improvements in the conditions existing in the Emerald isle, to stimulate Ireland's industries and in every way to work for the advancement of Erin. ### Splendid Program. The program yesterday afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed, nearly every number being encored. It began with an address in Gaelic by President James P. Moriarity, who has done remarkably efficient work in promoting the success of the league. President Moriarity complimented the members on their work, expressed the thanks of the league for the treatment accorded it by the newspapers of the city, and the unbounded appreciation of the members for Rev. Father English's generosity in permitting the league to meet in St. Mary's school and furnishing the necessary fuel and light free of charge. An address by Rev. Father Hannan was one of the most important features of the occasion. Father Hannan spoke for thirty-five minutes, detailing the history of the Gaelic league since its organization in Dublin fourteen years ago. The speaker interestingly traced the growth of the league and told of what it has and hopes to accomplish. ### Other Participants. The remainder of the program was as follows: "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls," sung in Gaelic by the juvenile class; song, "Believe Me of All Those Endearing Young Charms," Miss Kate Kelly, encore song, "Killarney;" hornpipe, Thomas Murphy and Mrs. J. F. Sullivan; Gaelic song, Peter Moynihan; four-hand heel, by Misses Mary Hampstone, Maggie McCarthy, Kate Murphy and Con Creede; Gaelic song, John Sullivan; song, "[Aileen?] Allana," Miss Kate Kelly; "Slanta Na Gael," sung in Gaelic by Kathleen Cronin; song, "The Irish Brigade," by Father Hannan; Gaelic song, Murty Sullivan; reel and jig, Miss Nora Sullivan and Mrs. J. F. Sullivan; "Sin Fein Lin Fein," sung in Gaelic by Mrs. J. H. McCarthy; "The Minstrel Boy," sung in Gaelic by the juvenile class; song, "The Shamrock of Ireland," by Mrs. Rose Sealy; Gaelic song, Matt Hannifan; "A Handful of Earth From the Land of My Birth," Miss Anna Sullivan; "The West Asleep," sung by Miss Maggie Harrington; selection of Irish airs played on the violin by Miss Mamie Leyden; recitation, "Meagher of the Sword," John Kelly; "The Last Rose of Summer," Mrs. Rose Sealy; "God Save Ireland," sung in Gaelic by audience. # SERVIAN SOCIETY IS TORN BY FACTIONS ## Minority Faction Creates Riot When Officer They Oppose Is Being Installed. An echo of long standing troubles between the factions of the Servian Union Benevolent society was aired yesterday and Saturday night by the issuance of warrants for the arrest of four members of the society, belonging to the minority faction. Charges were made before Justice Hunter, the intention being to bind the men over to keep the peace. Michael Perlain, who was elected to be recording secretary of the society a week ago, is the object of bitter hatred on the part of the minority party, who find fault with his record while acting as its secretary during the past administration. Perlain is a miner, working at the Original mine, and he claims that he has been threatened with death by the opposing faction, whose members have come to meet him and threaten him as he was going to work. At the meeting last week Perlain was to be installed as recording secretary. About two hundred and forty members were gathered, and nearly a hundred, according to accounts of some who were there, opposed Perlain, claiming that he was unfit for the office. The meeting was broken up in disorder, and sheriff's deputies entered the hall to restore quiet. The matter was not made public at the time. The officers found cartridges on the floor, and one gun was found as well. Each party accuses the other of having first showed weapons in the mixup. The four men accused specifically by the majority party and Perlain are Ivo Knazevich, John Rodonovich, Joko Knazevich and Louis Rusivich. The minority faction deny that it is jealousy for lack of an office in the society that moves them, and say that the only motive is dissatisfaction with Perlain, whom the majority endorse. ### THIRD GRAND CARNIVAL. At the Holland rinks, given under the auspices of the South Side Social club, Wednesday evening, January 22. One admission to both rinks, 25 cents. Music by the band. ## Column 4 # CHANCE TO BE ARMY OFFICER ## IMPORTANT LETTER WILL BE READ TO MEMBERS OF MILITIA COMPANY. ## Provision Made for Militiamen to Compete for Position of Second Lieutenant—Must be Named for Competition by the Governor. Company B, national guard of Butte, will assemble in its armory this evening for a drill and smoker and during the affair Capt. S. G. Jeans will read the following intersting [sic] communication tion [sic] which he has received from Adjt.-Gen. A. M. Alderson: "In view of the present and prospective vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant in the army over and above those required by law for the graduates of the United States military academy and the enlisted men of the regular army, I am authorized by the president to inform you that he will be pleased to name for competition in July next a candidate to be named by you from among members of the organized militia of Montana. "This candidate will be authorized to compete with other civilian candidates for a limited number of vacancies under regulations prescribed by the war department in general orders inclosed herewith. This order gives in detail the requirements of the examination and all information needed by candidates in advance to enable them to prepare themselves. The following fundamental rules of eligibility are laid down by the department in conformity with existing regulations, and in order to secure uniformity among candidates who shall be named by the various governors in response to this invitation: "The candidate must be unmarried; must not be less than twenty-one years of age or more than twenty-seven; must be a citizen of the United States; must be physically qualified to discharge all the duties of an officer in active service; must be free from mental or bodily deformity, and of good moral character and habits; must have been a member of the organized militia of your state for not less than two years prior to being named by you, and must have the favorable recommendation of the commanding officer of his immediate organization and of the regimental and brigade commanders when the same exist and are his direct superiors. The candidate, whether officer or enlisted man, may be of any grade. "Early action is urged to the end that the candidate named may have as much time as possible for preparation." The letter is signed by Robert Shaw Oliver, assistant sercetary [sic] of war, and is addressed to the governor of the state. In his communication to Capt. Jeans the adjutant-general states: "Should any officer or enlisted man of your company desire to take this examination, you will forward his name through regular channels to this office for presentation to the governor." # WILL HOLD SERVICES IN THE LECTURE ROOM ## Congregation of First Baptist Church Will Worship in New Building Next Sunday. The congregation of the First Baptist church worshiped in the old Masonic hall for the last time yesterday. Next Sunday's services will be held in the lecture room of the new Baptist church, Broadway and Montana street. The edifice is one of the most imposing church structures in the city. Owing to the uncompleted state of the main auditorium, the lecture room will have to be used. The building will not be entirely completed until May or June. Rev. J. E. Noftsinger has announced that the services next Sunday morning will be held at 10:30 o'clock. It will be a prayer and praise service, of which special music will be a feature. # $3 TO $5 VALUES FOR ONLY CHOICE $2 ## Great Windowful of Bargains at Lynch-Hannifin's New Jewelry Store, Park, at Dakota. $2 for $3 to $5 values.

Brigadier W. F. Jenkins of the Salvation army delivered an interesting sermon at Mountain View Methodist church yesterday morning, a large congregation being present. He chose for his subject, "The Successful Endurance of Trial." The brigadier said that very many who profess to be Christians fail to endure temptations and trials without murmuring. He pointed out from Paul's experience, that the standard of life should be one of complete and joyous triumph over difficulty. He said that every temptation that mankind is called on to endure and every trial that has to be borne are factors in God's hand to promote the experience he desires mankind to possess. A feature of the services were the solos sung by Mrs. Durand, wife of Staff Capt. Durand. Brigadier Jenkins spoke at the Salvation army hall, East Broadway, last night, many being present to hear him. A meeting will be held at the army hall tonight for the soldiers of the Salvation army. All who have at one time been affiliated with the army are invited to be present. Probation soldiers also will be in attendance and matters of interest to the army workers will be thoroughly discussed. The divisional councils of the army for Montana, Wyoming and Idaho have brought a number of prominent officers to the city. # $17.35—Salt Lake City and Return—$17.35 Tickets on sale via Oregon Short Line January 21, 22, 23, final return limit January 28.

John O'Keefe died yesterday after a day's illness of heart disease at the family residence, 15 East Center street. Mr. O'Keefe came to Butte from Virginia City, Nev., ten years ago, and had a large circle of friends in this city who will be shocked to learn of his sudden demise. He had been complaining for some time of his heart, but no one thought that he was in any danger. Saturday he was taken with sinking spells, and was sent to bed and a physician called. Mr. O'Keefe was a native of Ireland, and was fifty-three years of age. He was a prominent member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and also belonged to the miners' union of Dutte [sic]. He had followed mining the most of his life, having been employed in the gold mines of Nevada before coming to Montana. Besides a widow, he is survived by a daughter, Miss Mary O'Keefe. He also leaves a number of relatives in Ireland. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning from St. Lawrence church, where a high mass of requiem will be sung for the repose of his soul. Interment will be in the Catholic cemetery. ### FUN FOR ELECTRICIANS. Local No. 65, Electrical Workers' union, will have a smoker and social time at Miners' union hall next Wednesday evening.

Joseph Trewartha, a lad sixteen years old, was taken into custody last evening by Detective Murphy on charges preferred by Manager Moffitt of the Park street theater. It is alleged that young Trewartha, who lives with a widowed mother at 524 West Gagnon street, broke open the gas meter at the theater the day before Christmas and stole $16 which had been deposited in the meter in payment for gas used. He was arrested at that time and charged with burglary, but owing to his youth the charge was not pressed. He promised to make good the amount. It was agreed that he should continue in the employ of the theater and pay $2 each week out of his [wages?] until the entire amount was paid back. ### Gives Up His Job. Not long ago the boy went to Manager Moffitt and explained that for a few weeks he would need the entire amount of his wages and asked to be permitted to defer payment of the money stolen until a future date. Manager Moffitt granted Trewartha's request and paid him all that was then due him. The boy did not show up again for a few days. He was reinstated, however, only to be charged with the additional theft of some valuable slides used in a picture machine at the theater. Now he will have to face a burglary charge. The police assert that the boy bears an unenviable reputation and is known to have been mixed up in a number of peculiar episodes which smack of lawlessness. He will probably be sent to the reform shool [sic]. All members of Silver Bow lodge No. 240, B. P. O. Elks and visiting members are requested to meet at Elks' hall Tuesday, January 21, at 10 a. m., to attend the funeral of our late brother, J. J. Lavelle. M.
