nights during the week were cold, and
the days dry and windy, conditions
which were unfavorable for the grow

Light frosts occurred in the vicinity
of Marion, Stanton and Georgetown,

and other tender plants. The potato
crop is very promising. Alfalfa and

WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY.

1.-THE following original poem was read
at the Meadows celebration by H. c.
Thompson. 1t has enough excellence to
entitle it to "a permanent place in the
poetic literature of America.-ED.
What is the tumult that we hear,
That sends its echoes round the world?
Why is it that we gather near
To see that flag unfurled?
1t is the shout of Freedoms sons
Reverberating DER the hills;
The soul-inspiring boom of guns
That all our being fills
From where the frosty SUBMITS CLEAN
And sparkle in the morning sun.
From gulch and canyon, hill and stream
We gather one by one.
No call to arms, no serried ranks,
No loud alarum- beat of drum,
But, rendering praises due, with thanks
For liberty we come. ...
Young men for whom Time carries yet
A muffied bell and golden horn.

Beyond life's rosy morn,
And matrons grave and maidens fair

Anybody who will stop to think
of it for minute will be surprised
that so few men are engaged in jude
pendent placer mining on the Snake
river gold bars. Right now the few
men who are at work are cleaning up
from So. so to So. so day and bring
ing the gold into Caldwell. The
amount of gold is practically unlim-
tied. In this country no man need
be without reasonable remunerative
employment. All the capital required
is long handled shovel and rocker
costing in all eight or ten dollars.
The mining season lasts from june
until December or January. Nov
that the prospects of demonetizatior
of silver are so threatening, it seems
that hundreds Of men will have t.
turn their attention to gold mining
and the opportunities along Snak
river are unexcelled. In the nea
future machines capable of savinl

That was Iaughable joke on the
young couple who were out walking
Sunday or two ago, wheeling their
first born in baby carriage. They
noticed people smile as they passed
by and wondered what was the mat
ter. The wife finally said: "I'll walk
ahead little ways and you see if
anything is wrong with my dress. "
Nothing to smile at there, and the
husband called her back and said
"Now let me walk ahead and see if
my pants are busted" and he walked
on, wheeling the buggy beore him.
A little laugh brought the husband
to sudden halt before he had gone
twenty feet, and he blushed all over

Welded in Haste. Repent at Leisure.
Caldwell Tribune
Thursday morning young man
named Ross Dement, and girl named
Mary Conway appeared at the office
of Judge Galloway and requested him
to unite them in holy bonds. The
Judge after some inquiry decided that
he could not perform the act without
fragrant violation Of the marriage law
and his official oath. The girl was
only seventeen years of age, and for
got to bring along any consenting
parent or guardian. Finding their
efforts to accomplish matrimony in
Judge Callaway's court futile, they
sought out Judge Jenkins. Judge
jenkins being unacquainted with the
high contracting parties did not go
into any preliminary detail but lined
them up and began reading the riot
act in clear, solemn tones. When it
came to the place where the would-be
wife was called upon to disclose her
age, the proceedings came to dead
halt, and the court adjourned sine
die. The fatal pronounciamento was
never uttered, and the wedding
dropped on the half shell. Finding
that Judge Jenkins was as deeply
troubled with legal and conscientious
scruples as Judge Galloway had been,
the fond couple returned to the latter
official and made serious attack on
his sympathies, but ne was stern and
unrelenting Some tender hearted
person finally took pity on the elopers
and informed them that in Nampa
lived Justice whose conscience was
little dormant and who, when a fee
} was in sight, did not stand stubbornly
; on mere technicalitirs, so they started
for the junction city. BY this time
the father and mother, brother and
sister of the girl were in hot pursuit,
and gaining rapidly. The procession
g passed through Caldwell about 7:30,
r fast time, Thursday, p. m. The
chase was wild and exciting, but the
t lovers kept in the lead. The last
] seen of them in this vicinity was a
streak of dust against the twilight.
The Nampa justice was reached and
proved equal to the emergency. II
is said that the knot was tied so rap.

RUN ON A SAVINGS BANKS.

Brooklyn Banks Suffer from the Senseless
Fright.
New YORK, July 31.-This morning the
savings banks of this city, as rule, be-
gan to take advantage of the sixty day
time clause. where large amounts are
concerned, or to check the withdrawal of
money for boarding or in senseless fright,
but while nearly all banks claimed the
privilege of using the time clause still in
comparatively few instances was it ap-
piled. There did not seem to be any run
anywhere. In Brooklyn the effect was
somewhat different, and the notice caused
several s'runs,'' the greatest of which
was on the Brooklyn Savings bank.
When the doors opened this morning an
enormous crowd was waiting to draw
their money. Threats were made but as
these were of no avail, the crowd went
away in an ugly mood. Slight runs were
also made on South Brooklyn Savings
institution and the Dime Savings bank.
The withdrawal OF deposits at many of
the city savings banks were quite heavy
and the presidents pointed to the lines
waiting at the windows as proof of the
wisdom of the action in enforcing the
sixty -day clause as advised on Monday
because while it brought depositors there,
the notice prevented excited runs, which
would have followed unconcerted action.
