-fhe Stars and Bars, of Lewis
ton has bought and consolidated
with the Palouse City News, and

it the success it is entitled to.

at Caldwell this week. Fred Brun.
zell, Wallace & Mcdonald, B. F.
Murphy, Henderson & Mcdonald
for Silver City; Hyde & Mills, p
D. Athearn, Dave Weir for Jordan
and s. Whitenberg for Succol
Creek.
Charlie Ferguson, who is fore
man on the Goodhue ranch near
Parma, informs US that the ranch
ers in that section having depend
ed on rain to mature their crops
waited too long and crops have
suffered some in consequence.
Ditch water is at a premium now.
Adrian Cakes returned from q
months visit with friends and rela-
tives in Illinois Thursday morning.
Aid says that Chicago is bigger
than Caldwell and very wicked
town. He was equal to all emer-
gencies, however, and his serene
and placid countenance is as i'm
penetrable as of old.
MIR. John Mcmahon, statesman,
politician, orator and tight rope
walker, of Succor Creek, has been
in town all week, and consequently
everybody is in good humor. Mr..
Mcmahon has realized his mistake
in trying to be perfectly happy with
out the CALDWELL TRIBUNE and has
been mustered in into the ranks as
a high private, with promise of
advancement.
Caldwell now has a postoffice
to be proud OF. w. 8. Bailey took
possession last Tuesday and moved
it into the neat, cheerful room he
had prepared for it. If the 10OO-a-
week postmasters which are now
being made are all as enterprising
and energetic as Bailey, some good
may come even out of republi-
can administration.
MIR. Chas. T. Ferguson of Par
ma, worked" into THE TRIBUNE
fold last Thursday in manner that
would have done credit to a pro-
fessional. If the truth was known,
this matter of working" THE TRIB-
uNE racket is more of a pleasure
than task. All it takes is IS and a
calm determination to do right. We
can accommodate a few more seek
ers after truth.
Don't forget the grand ball, to
be given by the band, in Gwinn's
new store room, on the I4th inst.
The boys are making preparations
for a grand time, and will un-
doubtedly give the finest dance
ever yet given in Caldwell. Tickets
only 81; everybody invited. Best
of music will be in attendance.
Supper 81 per couple at the Has
kell House, J. B. Sisson, Prop'r.
A box of fine strawberries from
Dick Potter's ranch sufficed to ap-
pease The TRIBUNE's appetite for
fruit for few hours last Monday.
Dick believes in keeping editors
well-fed-they are easier to get
along with then. In fact, we our
selves believe that hungry, gaunt
cadaverous-looking editor is more
dangerous to a community than a
pestilence. "a word to the wise, y
etc.
About ten years ago a sharper
beat M. B. Gwinn, of this city, and
Messrs. Springer and Eastman, Of
Boise, out of considerable money
by passing himselfoff for a sure-cure
catarrh doctor. He got the money
and was never since heard of until
recognized the other day in Boise
the other day by one of the victims
in the shape of a travelling man.
He was arrested at Nampa, but
succeeded In giving the officers the
slip. The victimized parties were
thus cheated out Of their revenge,
and will probably have to nurse
their wrath another ten years.
The strawberry and ice cream
supper given at the Presbyterian
church, was we'll attended and a
great success socially, but not as
successful financially as it deserved
to be. The necktie feature afford
ed a great deal of amusement and
was quite a social hit, while the
gentlemens' sewing match brought
down the house. III. D. Blatchley
proved himself the best "needleist''
and R. w. Cakes came in second
best. M. G. Stiles proudly carried
away the 'booby" prize. The sue
cessful seamstresses were quite the
bellies of the evening, and won't
