1t is all right to steal fruit when
you cannot buy it, but when it is as
cheap as it is at the fruit stand, the
stealing of it should be made peniten-
tiary offense.
Peaches are coming into market
from Burnt and Snake rivers in wagon
load lots. The fruit is large and of
very excellent flavor. They are being
sold at IL cents per pound, retail

Howard Sebree returned from the
east last Saturday. While at Leaven-
worth, Kansas, the negotiations pend
ing the town site of Caldwell were
closed, and this city now passes out of
the hands of the Idaho & Oregon Land
improvement Co.. into the hands of a
new company of home capitalists,
notably among whom are Howard
Sebree, S. M. Coffin and NJ. B. Gwinn
The TRIBUNE's new power press
will be shipped the latter part of this
month. 1t is one of the most perfect
pieces of printing machinery that has
ever got out to Idaho. Its weight is
about 5000 pounds. When we get our
press set up we propose to print the
handsomest paper in Idaho. Printing
both sides of paper on hand press
takes all the romance out of the bust
ness, and does not give the poetical
side of an editors nature to assert
itself. But We'll get there by and by.

since last Tuesday. The business man,
who has rushed to get his correspon-
dence in the mail every day has the
satisfaction of knowing that his cor
dependence is still laying in the Cald-
well post Office unless it went out this
morning. Every night the sack is
hung ON the crane, and every morning
still finds it hanging there. The train
shoots by but for some reason the mail
clerk fails to catch the pouch. The
business men of the town will be COM
PEELED to make kick for the east
bound train to stop and take on mail
before this trouble is adjusted.
Some thoughtless person t2lephoned
the Boise Sun an exaggerated account
of the condition of our esteemed towns
man Julius Isay. Mr.. Isay has for the
past four weeks been very i'll from an
attack of mountain fever, which has
mental alteration from which
It is hoped and believed he will speedily
recover with returning health and
strength. lie has not become violently
insane as is reported, but is in condi
lion requiring careful attendance,
which is being given him by his friends.
That he may speedily recover is the
wish of his friends, which goes without
saying. His brother is expected here
from Indiana, during the week. Silver

THE TRIBUNE is fair in all things,
Dr. tries to be. 1t has unbounded respect
md admiration for Alex Mayhem, and
hopes to see him sent to Congress by
Dig majority. He is brainy, whole
'o0ied, experienced man, but he is
sadly out of his element on the stump.
Alex. Mayhem is all right" among leg
slators, being keen, far-sighted and
ust, but he has not the command OF
language nor personal magnetism nee
'ssary for a brilliant stump speaker.
He has the points but fails to present
them in an attractive and interesting
