Boise City at half past three o'clock on
Sunday morning last.
Go to the show next Thursday even
ing. Home talent should be encour-
aged and the Athletic club needs the
money.
Rev. j. s. Mccain, who spent last
Sabbath at Payette assisting Rev. T. F,
Alexander, will be with his people at
the NJ. E. Church tomorrow morning
and evening. The evening discourse
will be addressed largely to the young
men. A cordial invitation is extended
to all young men to be present.
From the depths of the irrigating
canal is heard the voice of DitcH
Gwinn calling upon all irrigators to
prepare their laterals. for the water is
coming and will be in readiness when
the season arrives. He would also re-
mind them that the wasteful use of
water by any person renders such per-
son liable to his fellow-irrigator for
damages. Section $3.50 Statutes of
Idaho.
The four-year-old son of j. w. Doug
lass. living near Star, who was kicked
by a horse recently, is recovering,
much to the surprise and joy of
all. The skull was broken by the
kick and considerable of the brain
oozed out, and the attending physi-
clans gave the anxious parents no room
to hope. That he is now recovering
and apparently sound in mind, is cause
for much joy on the part of friends.
The many friends of Mrs. Still HUI
ing, OF Central Park, will be pleased to
learn that she is recovering from her
prolonged and severe spell of sickness.
Her sister, Miss Dollie Mott, of Cald-
well, Idaho, arrived recently and will
spend the summer with Mrs. Huling.
The mere presence of so amiable a
young lady in a sick room is far better
than medicine. Miss Mott will be a
valuable acquisition to the society of
Central Park during her stay there

About midnight grand banquet was
held at Hinkey's hotel. Enthusiasm
ran high and the goat was kept on a
run all night long.
Rev. J. p Morris, of Star, made this
Office a pleasant call last Wednesday,
He says the bridge at that place is an
elegant structure, rejecting credit upon
the commissioners, the county and the
builders; that the approaches are per-
feet and will stand the test of high
water is beyond doubt. He also in
forms us that many farmers in that
section are becoming alarmed at the
continued cold weather, being afraid
that they will have to put in their
crops second time, as the first sowing
is beginning to rot.
A Washington dispatch in the Chi
cago News says: "There are three
clever card sharpers in this country,
with headquarters ut Chicago, who
number United States senators, con-
gressmen, English lords and a few of
New YOrk's most wealthy and promi-
nent citizens among their victims.
Among the gentlemen who have been
ileeced by the sharpers to the extent of
many thousands of dollars are United
States Senator Mcconnell of Idaho,
United States Senator Wolcott of Col
orado, United States Senator Squires of
Washington. Senator McCon-
nell of Idaho was not among the first
victims; there were hundreds taken
in before he fell into the trap, but the
senator is one of the number who lost
heavily about one year ago when in Il
game with the three swindlers. In Jan
