Judge stearns, of Nampa, is
SO jealous of Judge Beatty, of Cald-
well, that he contemplates drown
ing himself in a bottle of beer.
1t is on account of the double we'd
ding ceremony which Judge Beatty
performed last week. Stearns says
he will marry any three couple at
once for nothing. Now boys,
brace up!
Frank Randall withdraws his
property from the market, as has
been advertised for some weeks
past. and will build couple more
houses on his lots. He will also
build house or two in Nampa,
and intends to build small houses
whenever opportunities are favora-
BILE, for rent. Frank says he defes
anything short of a fire or a cy-
clone to carry his houses away as
easily as the burglars carried away
his safe.
The ladies' wood saving match
will take place next Thursday night

the spectators (for small consid-
eration) during the performance.
There will be fun for all who at

evening and witness the first step
of womans' rights.

the highest personal liberty, and
thinks if a man wants to load up
his tank with sheep dip, he should
be allowed to do so. But it also
thinks that decent people have
right to protect themselves against
the very presence Of the hog, and
they should be led over to TIE Gala
bose where they can wallow to.
gether, and then be brought up and
fined. Run 'em in, officer.

Two men by the names of Gray

in boat one day this week, when
the boat capsized, throwing both
men into the water. Carter for

calling piteously for assistance.
We get these facts from Mrs. Carter,
of this city, whose husband has

Peter Johnson is philosopher.
He says the place you lose any
thing is the place to find it, and
has, therefore, started a milk route
in Caldwell, in the hope of do ng
