How We Celebrated.
j The Fourth Observance i
ketchum was carried out to tn
letter and was in every sense of tn
term "roaring success" The pro
cession, which formed in front q
the public school house, was no
exactly of great magnitude, but
was, nevertheless, boiling over will
patriotism and every inch com
memorative of American independ
ence. The car of state-preparet
in elaborate detail by Mr.. VIM. H
Greenhow and other kind hands
was very tasty and appropriate, and
the forty-four states were represent
ed by forty-four misses and little
tots that any community could
we'll feel proud of. They were all
dressed in white with adornmente
OF red and blue and crowns of gold
and silver, according to the senti.
ments of their respective states on
the coinage question. The lettering
on the crowns was artistically done
by Miss Dollarhide and Mr.. J. G.
Rumsey. The goddess of liberty,
represented by Miss Nora Griffin.
and Idaho, by Miss Josie Perkins.
were beautiful and imposing. Miss
Nora bore a staff upon the top of
which sat a golden eagle with wings
spread and q streamer in its beak.
Pap Reynolds was very becomingly
attired in a white plug hat, blonde
wig, swallowtail coat and striped
Pantaloons, q la Uncle Sam, the
representation of which was perfect.
He held the ribbons over a span of
black wheelers and white leaders
and was obviously conscious of his
gorgeous surroundings and hand
some passengers. Mr.. A. H. Dol
iarhide, as marshal, led the train,
followed successfully by the Ketch-
UNI cornet band, car of state, fire
department, footmen, horsemen and
horribles. The horribles, next to
the car of state, was the leading at
traction as the procession wendell
its way through the principal streets
and imbued the on-lookers with a
great deal of hilarious delight.
The president of the day being
absent, Mr.. F. K. Gillette kindly
consented to open the ceremonies
at Metropolitan hall, which he did
in an admirable and appropriate
address, concluding with the intro
duction of Mr.. Isaac C. Foster, who
read the Declaration of Independ-
ence with impressive tones, and
next, Hon. Geo. +. Mills, the orator.
Mr.. Mills had prepared q speech
very suitable to the occasion and
impaired many bits of fact and in
formation calculated to impress the |
youthful mind present with the
true import and significance of the
Fourth of July. National and pa
triotic music was interpreted by
the band, and the programme con-
cluding at an early hour, the audi
ence and nearly everybody in town
to the baseball grounds
% witness the match game between
he Ketchum and Shoshone mines.
L was a very exciting game and
wound up with nineteen scores for
zetchum and six for the Shoshone
Joys. Space forbids justly deserved
MENTION of the skill and excellence
hown by players in both mines.
The wheelbarrow race (blindfold-
d was won by Frank Wells, the
ack race by Peter Weir, the foot
ace by Isaac C. Foster, the drilling
ontest by Chris Hall, and the
reased pig being indisposed, did
ot enter and the race declared off.
