Page overview

An interior page of the Butte Daily Post for June 13, 1911, dominated almost entirely by commercial advertising, with one editorial news item in the upper-left-centre position. The overwhelming majority of the page is given over to travel excursion fare tables from the Oregon Short Line, Chicago Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway, Burlington Route, and California excursion offers, alongside a large clothing sale advertisement from IXL Clothing Store occupying the full left column. A brief news item on the Odd Fellows Memorial Service and a notice for B. E. Calkins's new store occupy mid-page space. The editorial tone is commercial and promotional throughout, with the Irish-American Ball article the only substantial piece of social reporting on the page.

Juxtapositions

  • The Irish-American Ball article, celebrating Hibernian community life in Butte, sits immediately to the right of a full-column clothing-sale advertisement and immediately to the left of a patent-medicine advertisement for Ayer's Hair Vigor, creating an odd editorial sandwich of ethnic social news between commerce and quackery.
  • A notice for the Odd Fellows Memorial Service, invoking solemn remembrance, runs in the same mid-page space directly above a cheerful advertisement for B. E. Calkins's new stationery and sporting-goods store opening June 15.

The Irish-American ball at Columbia Gardens, the first annual, was a success, if satisfied patrons is a guarantee of a satisfactory program. As the committee had expected, the floor capacity was taxed, but as they had hoped, there was room to dance comfortably. They announced when first they decided on the ball that it was not their intention to have a crowded hall merely to make money. They wished to please their friends and leave a good impression on their visitors. To this end they spared no expense, and the consensus of opinion last evening was that their efforts were not in vain. The decorations were a feature. James Hurley of the Hennessy store, assisted by Tom White, James Connolly, Tom Collins and Con Murphy, worked from early morning yesterday until late last evening, and the beautiful pavilion reflected their labors. A huge electric sign showing the initial letters of the host organization of the evening, "A. O. H.," flashed forth a welcome to all. In the four corners of the hall stood the names of the four provinces of Ireland. The chorus acquitted itself with distinction and was the recipient of generous applause. The illustrated pictures shown by Manager Forsyth added greatly to the effect. Through the twilight the dancers glided and the scene was one of the prettiest seen in the gardens in many years. The gallery was well filled with spectators, and many came to hear the beautiful singers, who were presented with bouquets by the committee. The grand march was led by John J. O'Meara, state president of the Hibernians for many years, accompanied by Mrs. O'Meara. Following him were the other state, county and division officers and the ladies' auxiliary. The letters of the word "Montana" were formed as the chorus sang in admirable voice the state song "Montana." The McNamara orchestra excelled itself last night, and each piece of music had to be repeated three times. It was 1 o'clock when the last of the dances was over, and a tired but happy crowd was carried to their home in the different parts of the city. Many strangers from outside towns were on the floor last night. The Moonlight dance proved a favorite. John Ferns acted as cashier and J. J. Griffin and Dan Lynch were the door committee. The members of the order wore ribbons on which were inscribed the words "I'm a Hibernian," while the officers had badges emblematic of their office. The chorus consisted of: Mrs. Martha Collins, leader; Mrs. Rose Sealey, Miss Alexandria Verroneau, Miss Josephine Stopar, Miss Margaret Balla, James Murphy, James Duffy, John Manley, Clarence Conn and Patrick J. Flatley. The committee who represented the Hibernians of the county, who were the hosts of the ball and promise another such next year, were as follows: John J. Crowley, James F. Hurley, Dennis O'Neil, James J. Murphy, T. J. Moran, C. H. Gallagher and Thomas Collins. ### A TERRIBLE BLUNDER to neglect liver trouble. Never do it.

They regulate liver, stomach and bowels and build up your health. Only 25c at Newbro Drug Co.'s. ### MATTINGLY'S Headquarters for Arrow collars. # ODD FELLOWS AND THEIR AUXILIARY AT MEMORIAL SERVICE Last night was Memorial night for the seven lodges of the Odd Fellows in this city and the Ladies' Auxiliaries of the order and a solemn program was rendered at Fidelity hall. Rev. James Edward Coad preached the memorial address. The proclamation was issued by John B. Cock- [column continues in column 3] [boxed advertisement] # On June 15 YOU CAN FIND # B. E. CALKINS Located in his new store, the Old California building (entrances Main and Broadway streets) with a complete line of Paper, Stationery, Drawing and Engineers supplies, Pictures and Frames, Sporting Goods, etc. Filing Cabinets and Loose Leaf devices. ## Columns 3-4 [display advertisement across the top of columns 3-4] [illustration: two drawings of women at housework, one with a broom in an oval frame, one scrubbing a floor] # *Housework Drudgery* Housework is drudgery for the weak woman. She brushes, dusts and scrubs, or is on her feet all day attending to the many details of the household, her back aching, her temples throbbing, nerves quivering under the stress of pain, possibly dizzy feelings. Sometimes rest in bed is not refreshing, because the poor tired nerves do not permit of refreshing sleep. The real need of weak, nervous women is satisfied by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. ## It Makes Weak Women Strong and Sick Women Well. This "Prescription" removes the cause of women's weaknesses, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures those weaknesses so peculiar to women. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces restful sleep. Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know what his "Favorite Prescription" contains, a complete list of ingredients on the bottle-wrapper. Do not let any unscrupulous druggist persuade you that his substitute of unknown composition is "*just as good*" in order that he may make a bigger profit. Just smile and shake your head! Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cures liver ills. ## Column 3 [below the Housework Drudgery advertisement; continues the Odd Fellows article from column 2] rum, grand sire of the Odd Fellows, whose home is in Indianapolis. The Centerville Odd Fellows' Chorus sang several selections and Mrs. Percy Willis gave a recitation. Twelve Odd Fellows passed to the beyond within the past year, and in all 300 have been laid to rest in Butte since the formation of the order in 1876. John H. Miles was chairman of the committee and M. A. Hewett secretary. The members of the committee for the [column continues in column 4] ## Column 4 [continues the Odd Fellows article from column 3] different lodges were as follows: Fidelity—W. M. Curtis, B.
