When you want anything nice and nobb,
in the way Of Boots and Shoes always go to

Bile goods, but sell them at prices as low as
the lowest.
President Charles Francis Adams, presi-

Little & Co. are agents for the Phcnix
Insurance Co., Of Brooklyn, and the Ameri-
can Fire Insurance Co.. Of Philadelphia, two
of the oldest, soundest and best companies in
America. They are also agents for the State
Steamship Co. and sell tickets TO and from all
European points.
If some Of the prominent candidates on
both tickets would kindly pay up their sub
sLriptions to this paper, there wcsld emanate
from this office a happier and more f~raternal
sympathy for their misfortunes. Otherwise,
we expect to crow with great gusto over their
defeat by and by.
-"No," remarked Mrs. Tompkin, with a
smile which nearly cracked the walls in its
intensity ''No, we dom hate the country
Ike we rseter did. Since Philctas bought
tha, lovely wall paper at Little's,- things has
looked a hull lot brighter like, and life is
worth living once more" =

Our enterplising merchants Gwinn &
Baker, recently closed one Of the largest sales
ever effected in Idaho. This sale foots up in
round numbers something over $4,000, and
vas made to X. b. Stanton, manager of the
Flint Mining Company. We are pleased to
note the fact that Cwinn & Baker were able
to sell these goods at lower rates than Mr..
Stanton could obtain either in Omaha or
Portland. both of which places he visited be-
fore closing the contract. The freight is now
being delivered at Flint. So far abou. fifty
wagon loads have been forwarded.
We are informed by Commissioner l.. ID.
Potter that the claims under the rabbit ear
law in this county for the last quarter amounts
to over $500. The fund set aside for the
payment Of these claims is entirely exhausted,
and if the present slaughter continues, the
county will .be behind between $4,000 and
S., ooo before the next session of the legisla-
ture. The levy OF two and one-half mills for
this fund is inadequate to meet the claims, and
the law will either have to be repealed or else
made a general one. Many persons in this

The Caldwell Presbyterian Society met
last week at Mrs. Strahorn's and was a very

son has commenced in earnest. The next

Beatty, Saturday, October r6, and a full at

and help will be highly appreciated. A crazy
Guilt in silk is to be made and sold by chance.
The blocks are to betwelve inches square, and

J. II. Jobe, a farmer residing a few miles
above this town, was arrested a short time
since on a charge Of grand larceny. 1t seems
that several weeks ago a team Of horses came
to Jobes residence evidently astray. and he
took them up as such. Shortly thereafter
having occasion to visit Silver City, he drove
team over and back. The team was az
claimed by one Boone, Of Boise
City, who caused Jobe's arrest on a charge OF
grand larceny. No one acquainted with the
facts in the case doubt Jobe's honesty Of pur-
pose, and his arrest appears most uncalled for.
The grand jury will, of course, ignore the
bill, but meanwhile Jobeis put 10 considerable
trouble and expense without any just cause.
