The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-06-15

Caldwell has base ball club known
as the ''Fats, the weight of the club
being an even ton. 1t has just re-
ceived challenge from 100
pound club called the cleans. The
Fats" have been flooding us with
letters soliciting our acceptance of
position as back stop for the season.
But as matter of course we could not
think of neglecting our business for
the paltry 81, 500 offered.
Everybody is familiar with the
picture of buxom, voluptuous Chicago
as she stands bewitchingly up and
says 81 will" And every one who
has visited the fair says she is keeping
her word as they have found to their
cost.
Since the suspension OF the Idaho
Hydraulic Gold Miner there seems to
be vacuum in our office We had
grown so used to seeing 'Lemhi's
Gold Fields and so long accustomed
to s'The Comet, Katie and Annie
that $here is an aching void made by
the failure of those articles to make
their weekly appearance unchanged
by the swift fight of time.
Idaho Herald, stand up you're a
rafting good paper and credit to
your town, blast our eyes if you
aren't You've improved wonder
fully under your new management
and we want to grasp your paw
We mean no discredit to your con
temporary, the Tribune, it is some
what of rattler itself and won't
suffer by comparison with any
paper in the state, but having known
you year ago we are compelled TO
make these. remarks.
The Caldwell Tribune is glad
that Ed Hedden, Of that place, got
the contract for the laying out Of
portion Of the state wagon road, and
says that is all the Magic city will
ever get out of it. We are surprised
at the Tribune. The great sticking
point with that journal is that this
State road was projected subse-
quently to the engraving of the map
which adorns the Tribune envelopes.
Had conditions been reversed, and
the road projected sooner and the
map later, the nozzle Of the road
would have been in the main street
Of our magic neighbor, Caldwell
would have had the dead mortal on
all the trade Of our vast interior, the
benefits could have been seen with
the naked eye and all would have
been serene!
Our exchanges up the road are all
branding the circus AS big blk. 1t
stopped at Payette yesterday. Now
1t may be that some of our friends up
there were inclined to hold themselves
little above the humble Weiserite
because Payette could revel in all the
glories of circus while Weiser was
shook; but the truth is that the cir
Gus advance agent did stop Off here
but finding the crop of suckers not up
to the standard, concluded to pass on.
Grover Cleveland is mighty glad,
we presume, when he reflects that
Francis does not have yellow hair and,
though age may gather on her brow
after awhile, he will never have to
sing ''Silver threads Among the
Gold.
There is talk of the railroad chang
ing its main line to run through
Boise and from thence direct to Pay
etse. We would regret to see the
harm that might result to rustling
Caldwell were this done. Live men
went there and by their masterful
energy and housekeeping industry
have built beauteous and bust
ling little city and we would hate
to see anything that would be ever
so small blow to the fruitful results
of that unceasing push we so much
admire in Them We regret still
more that these men were not given
the proper concessions when they Of
fered to put their money in Weiser
few years ago and put their shoulders
to the wheel to aid our onward course.
The Shoshone Journal rejoices over
the downfall of what it terms the
"Anarchists' of Shoshone. 1t re-
fers to kicking, disgruntled,
ignorant class of humans who have
been combating the interests of the
town for six years, who for six years
have presstently slaughtered the
progress and energy of the place
and who for six years have been
grappled with by the little journal
with II pluck that could not end but
in success, until now it rises above
the smoke of battle and looks down
on its writing foes who brought on
the final crash by trying to elect an
old fogy mossback school ticket who
would keep things in the same old
hockey pokey rut and not allow them
to enter the broad and beautiful path
OF modern promotion. Dear reader
and dear borrowers of the paper,
there are anarchists in every town
who are ever ready to pull down the
