The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1890-09-13

A petition was being circulated
last Tuesday by Chris. Fahy and w. f.
Mosby to the Town Council asking
for a road from the wagon bridge |
through Mr.. Y oungs farm direct to
town. The petition was numerously |
signed, Mr.. Young himself favoring the |
move. The proposed road will shorten
the distance between the bridge and
the town at least three-fourths of a
mile The Council will undoubt-
edly grant the petition.
II. NJ. Smith, who brought the Sun
printing office here from Bellevue, and
was it's proprietor, has been cast adrift
and is talking of publishing republi
can paper at Glenn's Ferry. Mr..
Smith, who is a clergyman, was chap
lain of the constitutional convention,
and when canvassing for that position
was told by Hon. w. J. Mcconnell
that he could do the praying for that
body provided he "would make his
prayers damned short" Smith agreed
to make them that way, and was ac-
cordingly elected chaplain. Boise
Democrat
BY telephone from Silver City we
learn that Julius Isay, of that place,
who has been seriously i'll for some time
past, has lost his mind in consequence
thereof, and as soon as practicable, I'M
less he becomes better, will be removed
to the asylum. He is dangerous at
times, and it takes two men night and
day to hold him down. He is well
known in this city, one of the best citi-
zens Silver City had, a German by birth,
and who has conducted business in
that place for a number of years past.
; We hope he will recover from his sick
ness sane man-Boise Sun.
, Hon. Phil O'Rourke and Judge
Claggett made republican speeches to
, good audience in Caldwell last Mon
day night. DR.. Maxey introduced Mr.
, O'Rourke first, who proceeded to grind
out hoary old chestnuts in a very mat
tractive manner. His speech was not
worth reviewing as it consisted entirely
,, of assertions of more or less doubtful
nature and was entirely devoid OF
argument. With Judge Clagget, how
ever, it was different He made an
. eloquent talk that was interesting tt
l both democrats and republicans alike
and scored some good points. lie wisely

point being that that the interests O.

E party alone would legislate to preserv'
