The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-03-12

A Masonic lodge was recently organ.
lied at Montpelier.
In the lively town of Mineral, Wash
ington county, two smelters are now
running, and San Francisco parties
contemplate the erection of third.
THE TRIBUNE neglected to state
last week that the first dance given
by the Athletic club was all that was
was expected, and the expectations
were rather high.
Equity alliance No. 10, of Caldwell.
have through the Journal, published at
Boise City, challenged the James A.
Garfield club, of this place, to mortal
combat on the silver question.
Billy Schnabel has been quite sick
the past week, but is now improving.
His brother Louie, who was so badly
burned at Jordan Valley, is at home
and doing very nicely. lie bears many
scars of his narrow escape.
j. NJ. Carter has rented the room
back of the bank, in the Odd Fellows
building. in which place Miss Alice
Carter will carry on the millinery bust
ness. The family will take up their
residence at Mr.. j. M. Carriers house.
Dan Campbell this week purchased
of E. b. Hill, the horseman, the trotting
stallion, Decision" price $1,000.
Decision has race record of 2:36 in
the fifth heat and has shown trial heats
in 2:29. He is large, fine-looking
animal and will prove valuable fac
tor in raising the cayuse-street-ca
stock OF this country up to the grade
OF roadsters. TO many $1,000 may
seem a big price for horse but good
horses are worth good money.
Col. Bryan, manager of the Red Ele-
plant mine at HALEY, is made of the
right kind of stuff. The managers on
Wood River approached him on the
proposition to combine and reduce the
wages OF the miners. He fatty refused
to entertain the proposition, saying
that his men were worth $3.50 per day,
and it Was little enough for the peri
lous and arduous labor they performed,
adding that when he could not pay that
price he would shut up shop. Good
material for a democratic governor
that.
Very interesting proceedings of the
town annnni
which we publish in full for the benefit
of citizens. The ordinances passed
will appear in next weeks issue. 1t
will be noticed that the fire ordinance
has become town law; that special
tax of one-fourth of one per cent will
be levied to buy fire apparatus; that
the office of police magistrate is made
elective by the people instead of ap-
pointive by the council, and other
things of interest will be noticed.
The TRIBUNE is in receipt of big
batch of clippings from various papers
which have published from one to
three columns regarding the marriage
of Senator Mitchells daughter to some
foreign count, at so much per line. The
idea seems to be that country papers
would jump Mt the chance of filling
their columns with the stuff and there
by give the aforesaid f. c. lift. When
John Jones marries Sal Smith, if John
is decent sort of fellow and Sal all
she ought to be, this paper takes delight
In giving the young people the best
send-off it has on tap. John as a true,
honest American citizen, is greater and
better than any title, and Sal shows her
good sense in choosing him. When
foreign title is mixed up in the case,
this paper chooses to reserve comments
FOR year or two.
w. Is. Jones received the sad intelli-
gence last Thursday of the death of his
father, who departed this.life March
10, ut o'clock p. m. II. II. Jones
started last Tuesday night for his
fathers bedside, and was consequent
ly on the road at the time of his de-
mise. Many residents of Caldwell will
remember Father Jones, as he and
his estimable wife visited their sons
here about two years ago. Although
past 81 years of age, he generally en-
joyed excellent health. A few months
ago he fell down flight of stairs,
and although he recovered from his
injuries, he was left so weak that he
was unable to successfully battle with
the fatal grip. which set in n faw
