Cassia County Times: The de-
lay Of the spring term Of court in
this county has produced feeling o.
contempt and sadness on the part
of grass-widows who are seeking
divorces. The measles have
struck the town and quite few
cases are reported. So far the dis.
ease has not taken form with any
degree of danger, but mothers Of
children are becoming anxious lest
it may, on account Of the change
able condition Of the weather.

ing chairman of the Republican
Territorial Central Committee by
vote Of his election as chairman
pro tenn. At the called meeting OF
the committee, are having a mon
key and parrot time" over who has
the authority to call the convention.
Welser Leader: There resides
on the Weiser river in this county
five generations of one family, all in
direct line from great, great grand
mother to the infant great, great
grandchild. They are, naming
them in their order, Mrs. Colvin.
Mrs. N. Haven, Mrs. John Smith,
Mrs. w. Scherer and the infant
daughter Of the latter. We doubt
if this record can be equaled in the
territory.
Caldwell Tribune: The Boise
City National Bank received one
day this week from the Alturas
Gold Mining Co. at Rocky Bar for
assay, two gold bars valued al
$26,OOO. This makes a total of
$4,000 received from this mine
this month.
Idaho Free Press: Miss Laura
Hartman found a very rich gold
quartz specimen in the creek which
runs through the pasture on her
fathers ranch six miles northwest
of town the other day, and a rich
specimen it is, being encrusted on
one angle with several cents worth
of the royal metal. AS the creek
heads on the non-mineral-bearing
formation of the prairie, there is a
fly in the amber conundrum as to
how it got there, but as gold is
where you find it we advise the lit
tie lady to prospect for more OF
this rich float, and if she finds the
ledge from whence it came she has
an everlasting fortune.-Many
farmers on this prairie have already
got their crops all in. It pays to
keep ahead of your work.
Independent: Bishop Lewis Of
Georgetown kept q careful record

Idaho Democrat: Joe Huston
says that he was termed a carpet
Dagger until he became grandsire,
and then the cranks called him a
mossback. Without stopping to
count back few would say that Joe
had been here twenty years; but
then he has. He is a pioneer but
not q mossback. His back is not
even weather stained. Riley
Bostwick, the young man who was
injured in December in the Tahoma
mine, at Atlanta, died this week.
1t was thought for some time that
he would recover, but presumably
it was not to be. for he grew worse
and finally death ended his agony.
Mrs. Geo. Butler, of Atlanta, died
short time since. She left hus-
band and three children, one an in
FAINT a few days old. This is the
second mother that has been taken
from her little ones in Atlanta this
winter, and together with the loss
of the two young men in the ex-
plosion, it is not to be wondered
that the hearts of all are saddened
| somewhat.
