The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-12-21

I
made this Office pleasant call last
Monday. Mr.. Isay is on his way
way to Germany for a four months
visit.
This is the season Of the year
that Thomas and jeremiah, or more
Familiarity known as ''Tom & Jerry"
join their forces and knock out all
corners. Here's looking at you,
gentlemen!
VIII Maxey has turned the
Emmettsville Stage line over to
Zach Ferrel, and will take charge
of Picard & Roberts butcher shop
and grocery at Nampa, John Steun-
enberg having retired.
We acknowledge receipt of a
complimentary ticket to a grand
ball at Weiser, Christmas night,
given by the Odd Fellows. If any
of our citizens get down that way,
they will be made welcome.
While the water mains were
being laid, THE TRIBUNE failed to
get off the old chestnut regarding
the plumbers bill. We most
humbly beg pardon, and promise
to get off the mother-in-law joke at
the earliest convenience by way Of
atonement.
Hi. Jobe tells of an estray COW
in his neighborhood that takes no
"back talk" from anybody, and
runs things pretty generally to suit
her. Two or three persons who
have tried to "shoo" her have felt
the weight ofher vengeance, and are
patching up their clothes and plot
ting for her life's blood.
Col. G. A. Hand left last Sun
day evening for Indiana, to be mar
ried, so he says, and as he showed
good faith by renting Roberts
house before he went, we suppose
he told the truth. Thus goes an
other good and faithful member of
the Bachelors Club. The only
members that can be absolutely
depended upon now are Hank Dor
man, China Jim and TRIB. the
small.
"A very dangerous counterfeit
$40 silver certificate is in circula-
ton in this vicinity. Three ofthem
turned up at the bank the other
morning, where they were detected
by the cashier. They are elegant
specimens of workmanship, the
engraving successfully bearing the
closest scrutiny under the glass.
The seal is faulty, however, in fact
completely worn off of some OF
them, and the paper lacks the silk
fiber.
THE TRIBUNE will soon COM
mence the publication of thrilling
serial story entitled: 'The Cald-
well Boodlers; or The Dark and
Bloody Secrets of the Board OF
Trade" This great work is writ
ten by prominent citizens of Cald-
well, and for depth of plot, vivid
description, hair-breadth escapes,
damnable conspiracies, low cum
ming, satanic measures, all baff1ed
by cool, brave and determined de-
tectives, is without a parallel in
literature. Subscribe now and get
the opening chapters; positively
will not be published in book form
The school entertainment last
night was worthy of an extended
notice, but the town meeting and
corporation affairs completely mon.
opolized all space reserved for it
being Of greater import. The pro
gram as published last week was
faithfully carried out, and each
part was 'creditably sustained
Some of the declarations were
exceptionally good, showing re
markable Evolutionary powers. The
teachers deserve great credit fol
the work and energy they have de-
voted to the affair, but undoubtedly
feel well compensated by the excel
lent showing made by their pupils
