A Big Poker Game Begun in Texas and
Finished In Chicago.

THE game began &C Texarkana. II
was the oldest and one of the biggest
poker games ever played. 1t was
early in the fall last year when four
big ranchmen, who own between them
thousands of acres and tens of thous-
ands Of cattle in Texas, met at the
terminus of the Iron mountain road.
They were bound for Chicago.
where they intended to sell their cat
Tie, and as the wealtIiest cattlemen of
the great Southwest do. they preferred
to make the journey in the caboose of
stock train.
The value of the chips was stated in
unusual terms, white standing for
one steer, a red chip for five steers
and blue CHIP for ten steers.
From Texarkana to st. Louis the
players luck was abouteven. although
hundreds Of hands were PLAYED IN
that time, but when they struck the

several republican states made doubt
full by last years election, among
them Iowa, New Hampshire, Mon

Illinois. and the course of the present
party in power in Idaho makes it sure
that Idaho may be classed at least
among the doubtful ones. The demo-

What's The Natter2

THE board Of directors of the Insane
Asylum held its regular quarterly
meeting July 18th; at that meeting
number of bills were allowed; among
them bills for salaries Of employees
who only draw their pay quarterly.
It is now the 7th. day of August and
these people have not gotten their
pay yet. What's the matter at Boise?
Evidently there is money in the treas
ury to pay these bills and why have
not been paid? It was not always
thus; 1t was not so in the days of
governors Stevenson and Shoup when
Wickersham was Controller and it
should not be so to-day. The en-
ployes need their money, the mer-
chants who have furnished supplies
need their money. and they should
have it without this long delay.
