Chas. H. Reed returned from Wood
river last Tuesday.
There never was nicer weather than
his section has been enjoying the past
week.
City Marshal Martin is out rusti.
Eating. Ed. Wood wears the star dur
ng his absence.
Ask Swain Beatty how to kill spring
chickens. He has an entirely new and |
painless process.
John 4. Keegan was confined to his
room by sickness several days this
week, but is now out again.
By a new order from headquarters
no goods is allowed to leave the depot
until the freight charges are paid.
The larger portion of the passengers
that come Through on the trains these
days seemingly prefer to ride on the
blind baggage.
It is lawful to k i'll grouse, ducks, etc.
after next Tuesday. Some of our
sportsmen who are boasting of their
skill might do we'll to be little more
discreet for few days.
We can see nothing for the west to
be hopeful for as the result of the spec
ial session. We may as well take q
drink of water and buckle our belt up
another hole and imagine we have had
a square meal.
There was nothing new or unexpected
in the presidents message to Congress.
It was the same old gold.bug docu-
ment that we are familiar with. The
TRIBUNE does not consider it of suffi-
Gent importance to give it space.
1t looks to us as though silver's
friends are on the run at Washington.
The gold bugs raised the black flag and
cried no quarter, but the silver men are
already talking compromise. We
would not be much surprised to see un-
conditional repeal. The outlook is not
encouraging for the white metal.
Frank Leavering, who used to cook
at various eating houses in Caldwell,
was arrested at Glenn's Ferry and
brought here last Wednesday, charged
with burglarizing the house belonging
to Frank Smith and DR.. Stalker. The
preliminary examination is in progress
before Judge Galloway, as we go to
press.
Mrs. Bardmas, who last year had
charge of the grammar depart
ment of the Caldwell schools, has
accepted the Reydolds Creek school,
upon the earnest solicitation of the
trustees of that district, they paying a
better salary than she got here. We
believe they will have no occasion for
regrets as to their choice.
There will be a meeting Monday
night, August IA, at the Athletic hall
1t is of great import to all men be-
tween the age of Is and As years. AL
should attend and assist in perfectinl
a military organization and acquaint
themselves with military tactics. Thu
meeting is called for the purpose of or
ganizing a militia company.
The railroad company have shut of
the city's water supply, and we nov
have ABSOLUTELY no protection from fire
There is not another place on eartl
were a splendid water system could b.
put in cheaper than in Caldwell. TIL,
town should take hold of this matte
and control its own water. 1t woul,
not only be great convenience, but {
source of revenue to the city.
Henry Horton, who has been runnin
a dray here for the past year, chose
nice moonlight night last week, an
struck out for pastures new. Their
would be nothing remarkable abou
this if Henry had thought to settl
with his various creditors before he dc
parting. Such forgetfulness is hardly t
be condoned in a strong, vigorOu
young nan with no one depending W
J on his labor but himself. 1t looks as
Henrys intentions were not of the bes
If he had devoted half as much energ
toward paying his debts as he did I
the cultivation Of his mOustache an
that laugh of his, all would now b
well. Ibat Henry looks at things diffe
