Ex-senator Dorsey has written
a letter to General John \. Martin,
OF Kansas, the newly elected See.
rotary of the National Republican
Committee, in response to u re-
quest from Martin to be furnished
with records of the committee.
Dorsey says the committee new.
er kept any records. The only
records IN his possession are can.
celed checks, showing the dis.
burscments from his own pocket
In behalf Of the committee. lie
never received or disbursed u dol.
lar of money subscribed for polit.
ical purposes, but he paid out some
$4,000 for his own personal ex.
penses in behalf Of the committee
aud for salaries of his clerks.
The letter concludes: ~ say
this much lest you may think that
have records showing tho re-
ccipts aud expenditures of 1880.
The only records of that kind !
have are paid checks Of my own
contribution, aud an unfortunate
bank book showing the charges OF
my own folly. | regret more than

that such records should have
been the gratitude of dishonest
power. do not owe the Repub

Of money or a grain Of thankful
ness. In the midst of tho storm
brought about by tho efforts | ha,
put forth under its directions II

made upon me at the last meeting

one among the forty members ha,
the courage and manhood to re

The School House Ball.
Com. of
angenents.

The Grand Ball given at the new
school house Wednesday night, the 18th,
was financially, and IN most other res
poets decided success. About fifty-two
tickets were sold at 50 each, amounting
to 1856, and the expenditure, 800, sub
tracted, leaves net receipt of $50 in
the treasury, Notwithstanding that the
crowd was almost too large for the
space in the new school house, the af-
fair was an enjoyable one, and dancing
did not end till about A. NJ. Several
persons were present from Haley, Boul-
der and other places, while the entire
population of Gimlet city turned out
en- masse. The music was the chief
drawback of the evening, as it seems
the Trustees met with SEINE misunder-
standing as to its arrangement, and the
only reliable musician present was
Dixie Boone, who performed his part
admirably with the aid of various as
sistants at the piano.
Supper was served by Steven Good
ban in his usual grand style, at the Bon
Ton Restaurant. It was par excellence.
Steve can't be beat.
Fifty-five dollars is a neat little sum
towards desks for the school house, and
we would like to see it increased by sub
| scription if there is no other means, till
large enough to purchase patent desks.
This will have to be done some day, and
the sooner the better for the comfort of
the little ones. Dig up.

Fire at Baxter's.

The fire which occurred in the rear Of
Bakers new building on the night of
the 14th, was a narrow call for the whole
block, if not all of Ketchum It seemsit
was the work of incendiarism, having
occurred several hours after anyone had
been in that part of the building, and
the door leading into the ally having
been found open upon the discovery of
fire. 1t happened about II P. NJ, and
was first noticed by Mr.. Baxter himself,
who was at his desk writing in an adj
joining apartment. He heard the crack
ling sound, but supposing at first it was
the draught of the stove, arose and shut
the latter up. He then observed there
was smoke, and opening side door in
to the new building, beheld. the latter
brightly Illuminated. The alarm was
given; and a few men, arrived on the
scene, finally succeeded by hard fight
in putting out the fire. 1t was in the
extreme rear end of the building, and
originated in heap of shavings. A
spot on the floor about IL feet square,
and corresponding portion of the
wall was charred black.
1t is very likely that, had the fire oc-
Cured Il half hour later when all were
aDed the entire block, and possibly a
great portion of the town would have
been consumed.

Wood River is very low.

The stage line between here and Chal- |

Sagebrush Jack and Whistling Kid,
the roughs who murdered Byron and
wounded Brassfield at Caldwell on the

A large lot of James Fitzsimons's now

Parties from Caldwell, says the Boise
Democrat, inform us that the brutal

A young man of Ketchum recently re-
ceived letter from lady friend in the
East who had just returned from Africa,
and had brought an AFRICAN carrot"
homo with her. The young man wrote
back that he couldn't see the sense in
bringing an African carrot to America,
since it is an established scientific fact
that the African carrot is very inferior
to the American carrot. His perplexity
was dispelled in a few days by postal
card bearing the simple inscription in
big letters, AFRICAN Parrot" He had
been the victim of obscure writing.

Learn to Laugh. !

Blessings on the laughers, no matter
of what style. OF course we all like he
he-he, or ho-ho-ho, or haw- haw- haw;
but give them all Welcome. The
worst of them are thousand times bet :
ter than the winners. Hearty laughter
is better than pills for dyspepsia, better
than chloral for neuralgia, and better
than balsam for consumption. Come on
brothers and sisters, with your ha-ha-
ha, and your he he-he, and your ho-
hobo, and your haw- haw haw, and all
the variations; you are welcome. But
you ongfaced, whining, grooming
wretches, ayaunt! would rather have
the cholera come this way than you.
Why don't you cut your Threats? I will
sit on your case as juror, and bring in
a case of justifiable suiside.-Dio Lewis.

BAYHORsE.
A New Smelter will Probably be Built
There in The Spring The Ramshorn
Shelter Running with Good
Success.

Seventy five miners employed on the
Ramshorn mine at Bayhorse were re-
Gently discharged because of too abund-
ant yield for the smelter. Sufficient ore
is now on the dumps Of that mine to run
the smelter there another month, at
the end of which time it will be neces-
sary to close for the winter The Rams
horn smelter consists of two fifty ton
stacks, which are now running full blast;
and have been in operation during the
greater part Of the past summer and fall.
The Ramshorn ore is very high grade,
assaying from 200 to 300 ozs in silver
with good per cent lead per ton. In
addition to this ore the Ramshorn smell
ters have reduced considerable ore from
the mines of East Fork OF Salmon, in
Guiding the Germania, Washington and
Tyroliese, and from Squaw Creek The
Bullion yield of the smelters has proba-
~ averaged about Is tons daily for sew
eral months past.
Between $50 and 300 miners have been
employed in the Ramshorn and other
mines at Bayhorse during the past sea-
son in addition to corresponding num-
Der of general laborers, smeIter men etc
| The chief mines and works of Bayhorse
are all connected by telephone, and the
Ramshorn smelters are illuminated by
electric lights.

MULDOON.
Operations Resumed on the Muldoon
Mine.

A force of twelve or fifteen men were
recently put to work on the Muldoon
mine, and winters supplies laid in. In
the lower works remarkably rich carbo-
mates have been struck containing suf-
ficient iron to make the ore very free
smelling; in fact, beautiful for reduc-
ton. Tt assays 1855 ozs. in silver, and
81 per cent. lead. We were shown some
of the ore at the Philadelphia Compa-
ny office at this place. It is found in a
considerable quantity.

That he vowd by the heavens blue.
By the silvery moon and the shining

To ever prove leal and true.

Affection like mine, as time will show,
Has strength that no power can

Two summers with blossom and bud
were gone,
Two winters of frost and snow;
And again the man in the moon looked
down
On the whirling world below.
And what did he see? Why the lover

Quoth the man in the moon: cts ex-

As it was when the world began:
No weaker thing than woman's vow,

That this is the reason why he lives a.

And never has taken wife.

president, in conformity with instrtic-

nation assuring the world that this
exposition will merit its attention, and
inviting all nations to participate.
New Orleans Is erecting buildings
worthy of such an occasion and we
here predict that the great centennial
exposition heldat Philadelphia in 1876
will be excellcd at New Orleans next
year. The people of Texas should full
ly comprehend the nature and the
value of this great worlds exposition
The governor has deemed it of sulli-
cient Importance to constitute one of
the causes warranting him in couven-
ing the legislature in extra session,
We discern in it a grand opportunity
for Texas to attract capital and popu-
lation of the most valuable character,
and we shall not relax our interest in
its behalf until the Texas exhibit--one
worthy of the state, tools placed in
the exposition building next year and
the world asked TO see what we have
and offer.
