The town of Wallace, Idaho, was
totally destroyed by fire last Sunday,
the only buildings spared being the
L. p. and n. p. depots. That Is the
place where Mrs. Jennie (ColbOrn)
MOffit and her husband live and their
friends are very anxious to hear from
them. Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Northrup
were probably there also at the time
of the fire.

Quite a large number of,enthusiastic
Funston men, in addition to the regu-

Congressional convention. A half-fare
rate has been secured. Most of the

the night train. It will be jolly
