-"No," remarked Mrs. Tompkin, with a
smile which nearly cracked the walls in its
intensity" ttNo, we dom hate the country
like we uscter did. Since Philetas bought
that lovely wall paper at Titles, things has
looked a hull lot brighter like, and life is
worth living once more"
The candidates are all nominated now
and still the world turns round. This has
been proven a hundred times, and no one
doubts it any more. MOI does anyone doubt
that Coffin keeps the best line of boots and
shoes, fine hats, etc., ever seen in Idaho. II

Senator Caldwell's party arrived from the

victed of appropriating stock, and sentenced
to one years imprisonment in the county Jail.

it is stated that the prisoner is slowly ding OF
consumption. The petition was numerously
signed in this town.
This paper has a strong affection for the
truth, and will not knowingly circulate a false
hood for love nor money. Therefore when
we say we can turn out nicer job work
neater, cleaner, cheaper, better job work
than any other Office in the country, we fully
intend to substantiate our assertion. We
keep the best Of stock, do all the work our
selves, and employ no high-toned "rat" job
printer, whose work consists principally in
talk and salary; therefore we can print cheaper
thar anyone. Call at this Office or write for
samples and prices. No job remains in the
office over four days. Try us and see.
Some Of our eastern exchanges blow con-
siderable about their fruit and the gigantic
Of their watermelons. An item is going
the rounds stating that one weighed forty-hve
A melon of that size is a very or
binary thing in Idaho. Watermelons weigh
ing sixty, sixty five and seventy pounds have
been in the market here for months, while the
fruit crop has turned out far better than antici-
Apples are now selling at one and one
half cents per pound, and plums, prunes,
etc., at two and two and one-half. Peaches
and grapes are beginning to show up in good
shape, and it will not be long ere the cider
crop commences to ripen.
About a dozen men engaged in a free,
row at Kuna last Tuesday night. in

with excellent results. The fight took place
in the bar room of the saloon, and is supposed

morning. A gentleman who visited the scene
Of conflict the following morning states that
he barroom presented a most interesting, and
At the same time wrecked appearance.
Broken bottles were strewn all over the room;
were smashed, the stove overturned,
and blood and hair scattered all over the floor.
He says he poked around in the litter looking
Tor stray eyes and noses, but failed to find any.
The fruits Of the 'sfree for alp are thus sum

tut under the eye with a knife; one hand half

Sheriff Wilson visited the seat of
