thing is lovely. We hope, however, it
will get cold enough to make ice ere

Report says that man had his toe
shot off at a dance at Middleton Christ
mas night. One of the "boys" was
making another dance at the point of
a gun. The dancer did not put as

"A great time the children had at
the Christmas tree at the Presbyterian
Church. The Presbyterian and Metho-
dist congregations joined forces and

dispose of the surplus.
There is likely to be some fun over
the Senatorial fight yet. There are
doubts as to the legality of the election
of the third Senator, and Dubois may
have to fight his battle over again.
The question will be settled by the
u. S. Senate itself.
Mr.. Tom and Mr.. Jerry, under the
firm name of Tom & Jerry. opened up
an establishment in Caldwell ON Christ
mas day. Owing to the extreme popu-
larity on previous visits, they had
many callers and did good business.
There are several kinds of balls:
Base ball, snow ball, cow bawl, and a
hundred other kinds of. ball, but the
greatest of all is the masquerade ball.
Next Thursday night at the Commercial
Hotel. Everybody must go.
Tommy Dolan, foreman of bridge
gang on the Utah Northern, was in

The city guarantees $10,0oOO00 What
will Idaho do?
The legislature is already coming
in for some sharp criticism by the press.
Give the boys a chance, you impatient
quill pushers, good laws were never
made in haste.
1t don't do to associate Christmas
festivities with sleigh bells in this
country. The average Christmas story
is woefully out of place in Boise Val
ley.
Cards are out announcing the mar
riage of Mr.. Mccoy, and Miss Loulu
