BOISE CITY

W. II. Nye, in the sudden loss Of his Oldest
daughter. She was but fourteenth the
bloom Of health on Sunday, and dead on
Monday--buried to-day. She was lovely
girl--tbs Joy and comfort Of her parents.
Or. T. B. Wright. whose citizenship is now
Jointly held ly Caldwell and Boise, has for the
third or fourth time sold his Bellevue drug
store The purchasers this time are W. l.
Mercerean, who formerly kept photograph
gallery il, Boise City, and Dr. NJ. Jones, Of
Bellevue. We hope !, will stay sold, lest it
should some day be the means Of taking d.
Wright away from Ada county.
Our pos,otfce was recently removed from
Bgoadbents block 10 NJ, Posts building
adjoining the National Bank. The vacated
room is being fitted up in fine style ioT the
Pacific express oficc-W. o, Falion, agent.
We are glad he is going to have such an eN-
ceDent location Physically, Failon is built
on the clothes pin plan, bu; mentally and IN
every other way-our agent is a solid, indus
irious and popular officer.
The busiest man among US is Recorder Nc
Cornell, think your readers know him
he formerly lived in the Jerusalem ward OF
Caldwell city When he FIRST filed his official
seat in the court house, he used to get pretty
blue. Deeds came in SO slow that he feared
his campaign coat Would have to wear him
another year. but lately he has done much
better; built new house, put on four addi-
tons, and accumulated family of twelve per
sons. You would doubtless be safe in early
announcing Mcconnell as a candidate for re-
election, and in sending in your bill for adyer-
Using same.
1t was announced some time ago that I. Il
Bowman was to become one Of the publishers
Of tina Idaho Democrat. The concern was to
be moved to larger quarters and big improve
ments made The arrangement appears to be
s.oh7' and itsnever did look quite practical
Iud. Boyakia is an editor Of the kind required
when Boise City was miners trading post
aud am not sure that the town has ou'grown
him yet He is rough, sometimes vulgar
often profane; but he is vigorous, in no sense
a coward, and never lodges an issue. lie has
genuine humor too, breaking out in fantastic
way which makes the angels weep and the
groundlings laugh. Some day the editor Of
the leading democrat paper Of Idaho must be
different sort OF a n,an-a gentleman o. edn-
cation and Intellectual refinement. When he
comes we may be little ashamed Of the de-
parted yud, but We shall miss his sharp cuts
and his unmstakable way OF putting things.
A partnership with such man is an absurdity
he should have a clean range until lis work
is done.
At the last meeting Of Patrick Collins Post

regular exercises OF the Post were completed,
the veterans adjourned to the room below
and had soldiers supper Of beans, hard
tack and coffee. All the recruits mentioned
above are residents Of Caldwell OF vicinity,
and after the feast, Comrade George Little
was called out to speak for himself and his
comrades. lie responded mcdesiiy and ap.
propriaiely, and was heartily cheered. Pre-
parations are making here ior the observance
Of Decoration Day, II Is a day bringing out
most tender recollections Of our departed
soldiers, and there ought not to be u hero's
grave overlooked. suppose Comrades Lit
tie, Gould, Smith, Cauon and Wilkins with
the other veterans in and about Caldwell, will
visit all the cemeteries about their city and see
that upon every soldiers grave there is laid
wreath Of flowers and small flag planted.
It is but little we can do to honor our patriotic
dead, but that little should be faithfully and
heartily done
