The attempts of Truant Officer Frank Colligan to compel Mrs. T. Weir to send her children to school and the strange actions of the woman in resisting those attempts led to the discovery that the woman was insane and she was yesterday examined and committed to the state asylum. The truant officer made several unsuccessful attempts to interview Mrs. Weir in regard to her children, and finally gained access to her home at 363 South Jackson street with the assistance of Deputy Sheriffs Tom Mulcahy and Neill O'Donnell. It was then determined that it was in the best interests of the children as well as the unfortunate mother herself that she should be examined on an insanity charge. Mrs. Weir accompanied the deputies to Sheriff O'Rourke's office yesterday morning, and the examination was conducted there, as she could not be induced to go into Judge Donlan's courtroom. She said there were too many men in court and she was afraid of all men Mrs. Weir said she believed her husband, who died several years ago, was poisoned. He was a good, k[in?]d man, she said, but she was even afraid of him because, as she claimed, he had once a number of year [sic] ago attempted to poison her with food filled with boiled matches and sulphur. A ten-year-old son of the woman, who was with her, showed much emotion because of his mother's sad mental condition. Neighbors of Mrs. Weir said she was always a good housekeeper and took good care of her children even after her insane mania began to be in evidence, but she was regarded as not responsible and liable at any time to do some harm to herself or the children. She has a brother living in Helena and two grown sons, who are employed in the mines here. Mrs. Weir is 50 years of age and a native of New York. Drs. S. E. Schwartz and J. B. Sullivan were the examining physicians. Mrs. Weir was declared insane and she was taken to the state asylum at Warm Springs yesterday afternoon in an automobile. At first she refused to go into the vehicle, but was induced to enter it on the pretense that she was simply to take a pleasure trip for the good of her health. Sacred Heart branch L. C. B. A. will have a social this evening at their hall at 639 East Galena street. Each member bring a friend. ### PATRICK MURPHY DEAD. Patrick Murphy, a native of Ireland, 53 years of age, died last night at the family residence, 3 West Agate street. He had been a resident of this city for 25 years. The deceased is survived by a wife, two sons, James and Daniel; a daughter, Theresa, and a sister, Miss Margaret Murphy, all of Butte. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 9:00 o'clock, proceeding to St. Patrick's church, where a requiem high mass will be celebrated. # KEEP THE CHILDREN'S BOWELS CLEAN NOW ## If Tongue Is Coated, Stomach Sour, Breath Feverish, the Bowels Clogged Give "Syrup of Figs." Children dearly love to take delicious "Syrup of Figs" and nothing else cleans and regulates their tender little stomachs, liver and 30 feet of bowels so promptly and thoroughly. Children get bilious and constipated just like grown-ups. Then they get sick, the tongue is coated, stomach sour, breath bad; they don't eat or rest well; they become feverish, cross, irritable and don't want to play. Listen, Mothers—for your child's sake don't force the little one to swallow nauseating castor o[il?], violent calomel or harsh irritants like Cathartic pills. A teasponful [sic] of Syrup of Figs will have your child smiling and happy again in just a few hours. Syrup of Figs will gently clean, sweeten and regulate the stomach, make the liver active and move on and out of the bowels all the constipated matter, the sour bile, the foul, clogged-up waste and poisons, without causing cramps or griping. With Syrup of Figs you are not drugging or injuring your children. Being composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics it cannot be harmful. Full directions for children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the package. Ask your druggists for the full name, "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna," prepared by the California Fig Syrup Co. This is the delicious tasting, genuine old reliable. Refuse anything else offered. ### DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Giavando—The funeral of the late John Giavando will take place this (Wednesday) morning at 9:00 o'clock from the American house, Walkerville, proceeding to St. Lawrence's church, where mass will be celebrated at 9:30 o'clock.

Joseph Kovacich, a native of Austria, who has been a resident of America for 12 years, was examined in Judge Donlan's court yesterday on a charge of insanity. The wife of the unfortunate man showed much feeling in court and wept when, through the aid of an interpreter, she informed the judge and the examining physicians that she was compelled to have her husband arrested on that charge, as his actions caused her to fear that he might do some harm to herself and several young children in the family. Also it was stated that at times Kovacich talked as if he might do some harm to himself. The mania of the man, according to the statements of the wife, took an ambitious turn as regards his occupation. He quit his job as a miner and when asked why he did not work to support his family he declared that he refused to work any more as a miner, and he could not get a job as a foreman or shift boss. Kovacich talked English quite fluently when questioned. He denied that he had any realization of what he had been brought into court for or that he was insane. "You must know what I was brought here for, and you can fix things up to suit yourselves," declared Kovacich, addressing the examining physicians, Drs. Cornelius Turner and J. B. Frisbie. Further questioning revealed that the man had hallucinations and was not responsible for his actions. He was adjudged insane and ordered committed to the state asylum.

RYAN AND PARTY ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT ## Head of Amalgamated and Milwaukee Railroad Officials to Be Guests at Club Smoker Tomorrow Evening. John D. Ryan, president of the Amalgamated Copper company, and the party of eastern financiers and officials of the Milwaukee railroad, who are on a tour of inspection of the Puget Sound extension, will arrive in Butte on a special train tonight. The party will spend all day tomorrow here and tomorrow evening will be the guests of the Butte chamber of commerce and the Silver Bow club at an informal smoker and reception, in which members of both organizations will participate. The affair will be strictly informal, and it is said by Secretary Blake of the chamber of commerce that "business clothes will be in order." A number of special attractions have been secured for entertainment of the guests. Besides Mr. Ryan and President Earling of the Milwaukee, other members of the party are: James A. Stillman of the National City bank of New York, William E. Corey, formerly at the head of the United States Steel corporation; Percy A. Rockefeller and J. A. Spoor of the Chicago Junction Railway company. It is understood that Mr. Ryan will not make the trip to the coast with the party, but will remain in Butte until his associates return and then proceed on to New York with them. # HE PLAYED BAGPIPES AND WORKED IN MINE ## James Young Alleges That He Made Plenty of Money and Denies That He Borrowed Any. The suit on appeal from a justice's court of Mrs. Margaret Douglas against James Young and wife is on trial in Judge McClernan's court. The parties to the suit came to this country from Scotland several years ao [sic], and Mrs. Douglas claimed the Youngs were indebted to her in the sum of $179 for money loaned to them. Mr. and Mrs. Young denied borrowing the money, and presented a counterclaim against Mrs. Douglas for $96 alleged to be due for board and lodging at the rate of $24 a month. In giving her testimony in the case, Mrs. Douglas declared that she had paid the Youngs in full for the board and lodging account. In his testimony Young claimed that he made plenty of money for the support of his wife and children, and in consequence he said he had no occasion to borrow any money. In regard to his earnings, Young stated that he was a bagpipe player, and besides earned $3 a day by working in the mines. He said he made considerable money with his playing of the Scottish national musical instrument. Once during the campaign in the fall of 1910 a candidate for a county office paid him $20 for playing a single evening. The trial of the case was not concluded yesterday. ## Column 4 # UNITARIANS HAVE SECURED A MINISTER ## Butte Church to Be Supplied After Being Without Regular Pastor For More Than Two Years. The First Unitarian church of Butte has secured a minister after being for two years lacking in that very important requisite for a church organization. The members of the church and congregation are congratulating themselves upon receiving a letter of acceptance from a minister with whom they have been carrying on negotiations for some time, and although Rev. T. Clinton Brockway will not take charge for some months, the fact that a pastor is engaged will renew the interest in the work that has in the meantime by no means been dropped notwithstanding the fact that the church has had no regular leader. Almost every Sunday night services have been held and the local Alliance of Unitarian women has maintained an active and useful organization. News of the acceptance of the charge was received yesterday from Mr. Brockway by President Charles L. Smith of the board of trustees of the local church. The new minister has an interesting family, consisting of a wife and four young children. He was formerly a Presbyterian minister, but his later charges have been Unitarian churches at Dunkirk, N. Y., and Greeley, Colo. He is also a very learned authority on horticulture and entomology and is filling an important chair in the State Agricultural college, located at Fort Collins, Larimer county, Colorado. He will arrive in Butte to take up his work here about Sept. 1. Mr. Brockway was first recommended to the local Unitarian church by the national headquarters of that denomination, located at Boston. The church has been without a pastor since the resignation from that position of Rev. Lewis J. Duncan, the present mayor of Butte. Mr. Duncan had charge of the church for about nine years. The congregation has a very attractive church home at the northwest corner of Granite and Idaho streets. Sanitary market, 136 West Park street. Strictly steer beef, native and eastern.

[box heading] Topics of the Busy Streets "You must have called me late this morning," said a west side man to his wife last night when he returned from the office. "It was 12:00 o'clock when I reached the office and I had an important appointment for 10:00, too." "Why, I called you at 7:30, John." "Was the clock right?" "Yes, I set it last night when you came home. You remember I called downstairs when you came in and asked what time it was, and you said 10:30. The clock in my room said 1:45, so I turned it back to agree with your watch and, of course, I called you by the correct time this morning." Jerry Lynch, one of the plainclothes men at police headquarters, tells a good story about a negro who played a brace game at a circus one night and lost his roll. Then he began to suspect that he had been cheated and accused the gamekeeper of skinning him. The man was packing up his layout to hike for the train and had no time to waste on idle complaints. "Well, what if I did trim you?" he demanded. "What are you going to do about it?" "I ain't aimin' to do nothin' now," said the darkey, "but I 'lows to git even with yu, mister." "How," inquired the sharper. "Well," said the darkey, "the way I figure hit out, you'll be comin' back heah with the circus next year. And am goin' to be heah, too. And when somebody comes up to play youh game, I'm goin' to put both hands way down deep in mah pockets, rare back on mah heels, look straight up at the top of the tent and say, 'Oh! Oh!'—just like that—'Oh! Oh!'" ### THANKSGIVING PSALM. ### A Rythmical [sic] and Grateful Chant. A teacher in a Terre Haute public school joins in the chorus: "Teaching is a business which requires a great deal of brain and nerve force. Unless this force is renewed as fast as expended the teacher is exhausted before the close of the year. Many resort to stimulating tonics for relief. "For three years I struggled against almost complete exhaustion, getting what relief I could from doctors' tonics. Then, in the spring of 1903, I had an attack of la grippe and malaria which left me too weak to continue my work. Medicine failed to give me any relief, a change of climate failed. I thought I should never be able to go back in school again. "I ate enough food (the ordinary meals, white bread, vegetables, etc.) but was hungry after meals. "I happened at this time to read an article giving the experience of another teacher who had been helped by Grape-Nuts food. I decided to try Grape Nuts and cream as an experiment. It was a delightful experience, and continues so after a year and a half of constant use. "First I noticed that I was not hungry after meals. "In a few days that tired feeling left me and I felt fresh and bright instead of dull and sleepy. "In three months more than my usual strength returned, and I had gained 15 pounds in weight. "I finished the year's work without any kind of tonics—was not absent from duty even half a day. "Am still in the best of health, with all who know me wondering at the improvement. "I tell them all 'Try Grape Nuts.'" Name given by Postum company, Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true and full of human interest. ## Column 5 # TRADE EXCURSION IS ALLURING TO MANY ## Reservations for Trip of the Business Men Are Pouring Into Offices of Chamber of Commerce. Requests for reservations on the trade excursion special which will start from Butte the middle of June for a trip to southern Montana and eastern Idaho points, continue pouring into the chamber of commerce. The special will consist of 11 cars, two of which will be diners. A band of 32 pieces will be taken along. The fare for the round trip, it is announced, is $40.
