Superintendent Parker of the
Last Chance mine at Atlanta layed
his grievances before the Grand
Jury Thursday and returned to
Atlanta yesterday.
A. Adams let the contract to
Barracklaus to erect building on
the site of the furniture store ruins.
It will be a larger and better build
ing. The frame is now up.
A poetess in San Francisco
meekly put the conundrum: ooh
where does beauty linger?" We
can generally be fround at the
KEYsONE office from 8 A. M. to 10 Pm.
Reading the marriage notices in
a newspaper, says a certain writer,
"is like reading only the last chap
ter of a novel-you have to invent
for yourself all that went before"
During Bishop Toyer's stay with
us here CAPTAIN P. p. Baxter, pro-
prietor of the Baxter Hotel, and NJ.
NJ. Moore, of the Cougar Stage Line
both elders-will collect the tith-
ing at Ketchum.-Inter-I Idaho.
&c. Mitchell, whose death notice
appears in another colmun, was
well-known resident of this town,
having for long time prior to his
departure for Salt Lake been bar
tender and clerk at Baxter's Hotel.
He died from the effects of severe
surgical operation for gravel.
Ike Culp, who has been working
at mining at Sawtooth the past
summer, came down Sunday. He
says there is too much cold for
him to remain in that high, noun
famous section over winter. He
has gone down the River to look
for a milder climate to winter.
A good love story, says a writer
in the Century, winds up with a
wedding-and the reader is salts
fed to know that they got married
and were happy" willing to guess
the rest, and doesn't care to be
told just how old their children
were when they had the whOoping-
cough /"
The Philadelphia Mining Com
pany, represented by Colonel Bal
lentine, has moved its tramway,
cars, track, wire rope and all from
the Muldoon mine to the North
Star property on East Fork. They
need the rigging to run down ore to
the valley from that prospect at
once.
Dick West has leased the Enter
prise Restaurant to Mrs. Sarah
Roach, who takes possession
tomorrow evening. Mrs. Roach
is the former cook of the
Palace Restaurant. She has already
won the reputation of being an
exceptionally good cook, and will
doubtless succeed in the Enterprise.
She advertises in the KEYSTONE.
Not a newspaper in Idaho has
expressed any dissatisfaction with
the appointment of Col. E. A. Stew
enson as our Governor No appoint
ment could have been made that
would have pleased the people of
Idaho better. The present admins
tration has done well for this Terri
tory, but Delegate HALEY deserves
most of the credit. He has RECON-
mened no unfit person for office.
Charley Davis was down from
Smoky this week laying in a stock
of goods for his store, which he has
been conducting since last july.
He called at the KEYSTONE Office
and left a fve-dollar bill to pay his
subscription in advance, and
informed us that he will remain
over there and run his store through
the coming winter, which has proved
good-paying location. Charley
returned to Smoky Tuesday after
noon, and will not probably visit
Ketchnm again for some weeks.
Our devil says he would like for
someone to get married, or would
be farther become blessed soon, as the
office box of cigars is rapidly
becomeing empty. We won two
boxes of cigars on the first issue of
the KEYSTONE after the fire and
Fred w. Gooding become jolliied
over the advent of his new baby and
gave the office a box, but now the
supply is running low. AS our
devil enjoys an occasional cigar, he
is becoming anxious to know who
the next happy victim will be-and
where the next box is coming from.
His wife, poor soul, had been
complaining of chicken thieves.
He came home just after dark and
heard stifled alarm of distress in
the coop. He CROPPED about all
over the barnyard and finally ran
across last years pitchfork-just
the thing-and consciously crept
upon his unsuspecting victim. He
assumed an attitude of instantane-
Gus destruction and proceeded to
cautiously open the chicken coop
