A big dance March l, at the Athletic

The grip is still with us, having evil
IDENTITY come to stay all summer.
Col. Hand reports health on Wash
lngton Heights very much improved,
which information pleases all.
The friends of Mrs. Gus Rikewine
will be panied to learn that she is not
improving so rapidly as hoped for.
Already the rumors of spring activity
are heard, and it would seem that the
coming season will be lively indeed in
Caldwell.
If you think Caldwell does not SUD-
ply the trade to the south of us, call at
the Jordan Valley and De Lamar stage
Office and see the express and freight
to go over every trip.
The Monte b. Gwinn Mercantile Co.
are covering their store with attractive
lettering on the outside, as well as
well as thoroughly repairing, cleaning
and painting the inside.
Court Northrop, of the Coffin &
Northrop Co., wears a large satisfied
smile which bet okens peace with him
self and all the world. A young man
with Courts start in this world has a
right to smile.
Miss Ella Dale, of Harrison county,
Missouri, a friend of Uncle w. w. Dry
den, arrived in Caldwell last Wednes-
day. Miss Dale expects to follow her
occupation of teaching in tho west,
and comes highly recommended.
The entertainment at the Presby
terrain church last Wednesday evening,
for the benefit of the NJ. E. church, was
well attended, and good program was
very creditably presented. Itconsisted
of music, recitations, select reading.
tableaux, etc., and was thoroughly en-
joyed. Rev. Mccain worked hard in
getting up the entertainment and is
deserving of the success attained. The
receipts were about $50.
Bill Franks, a. freighter and Yves
Kicker, a stockman, were ENJOYING a
quiet "booze" last Sunday, when Rick
er's artistic taste asserted itself and he
concluded Franks side whiskers
needed trimming. Now, if there is
which the jovial Bill is proud
OF it is his fine flowing side burns, and
when Kicker grasped them with his
left hand and tlourished sharp knife
in his right, he naturally jerked back.
Fatal move! The knife descended.
but the dodge had placed the cheek
where the beard ought to have been.
and a slice about as big as a dollar was
neatly carved out and left hanging by
little piece of skin. 1t was a very
neat dewlap, very skillfully executed
and henceforth Franks will wear Rick
er's brand. The injured man had his
cheek sewed on and is right again.
Another railroad from Nampa paral-
leling the North & South, Nampa &
Boise, Nampa & San Francisco, Nampa
n New York, and other great railway
lines, is projected. Hon. Mark A.
kurtz will play Chauncey Depew,
Julius Steinmeyer will stop selling cod
fish long enough to survey and locate
the line, and Jas. a. Melee will fur
nish the brains and money. Horn and
Uncle Dan1 will take the contract and
the line to the satisfaction of
all, on condition that they are to get
free passes for life. DUTIES don't seem
to be "in it," but Col. Stearns, we learn,
has been promised the position of con
tuctor on the lightning express. Cant.
Bernard has purchased the exclusive
to run diners over the new
inc, and is having an old freight car
tilted up regardless of expense, with
'eal chairs and a gasoline stove. AS
space, distance, rivers and mountains
'eem to have no terrors for Chief
Engineer Steinmeyer, it is probable
hat he will go by way of the moon, in
search of the fine agricultural country
he directors talk about. The company |
has already offered Sl,5OO.OOO.25 for a |
lalf block in Nampa upon which to |
'rect their freight depot. We learn
he offer has been refused, the town
lite company holding out for $780,.
