The Hardware establishment of
c. G. Bunnell, Lewiston, Idaho, is
replete with useful and ornamental
wares for builders and domestic
purposes. While in that city do not
fail to give him call. Mail orders
will receive prompt attention.
The Boise Democrat says: j. II.
Wickersham, whose terrible afflict-
ion commenced almost two years
ago, and who has lain helpless for
months, is nearing the end. His
mind is still bright but physically
he is as an infant, and while he
may pass away at any moment he
may survive several weeks.
Several of our citizens are gradu-
ates of the Willamett University
and naturally have some pride in
any honors which may be gained
by her. AT the State inter-colle-
giate oratorical contest, held at
Eugene, Oregon, on Feb. 26, the
first prize was won by c. j. At
wood, of Willamette University.
Warren D. Robbins, Frank E.
Fogg, w. H. Hill, and II. F. Sam
uels have formed a company to be
known as the "Camas Prairie De-
velopment Association, with head
quarters at Grangeville. They
will engage in a real estate and
mining brokerage business and will
do considerable advertising later in
the spring, all of which is bound to
help bring old Camas Prairie to the
front. Success to them.
Postmaster Magee has been noti-
fed by the department that
Grangeville has been designated
as the distributing point for the
connecting mail routes in this
county. Heretofore we have re-
ceived our Warrens and Elk City
mail through Mt Idaho, but here
after Grangeville will be a post
Office on both these routes. 1t has
taken years of effort to accomplish
this small result, but we "get
there" at last.
The Grangeville Band will give
a dance at the Opera house Friday

gerald for 80 cents couple

M. Crunk, Violinist, Mrs. Lille

nell, guitar. 4 splendid time is
anticipated, as the boys have taken
special pains in getting up this ball
The bad boys in Congress have
finally faced the music and passed
the Bland seigniorage bill providing
for the coinage of all the silver
purchased under the Sherman act
1t will also pass the Senate, bu
there is an even chance that thu
, gold bug in the White House viii
, veto it, and congress proposes t.
fix the responsibility upon th'
gold bugs if it fails to become ;
law. 1t is not bi-metallism by /;
!, long shot, but it is better than tn
r Sherman act.
Our financial platform: Throw
the National banks overheard, pa,
: off the bonds, open the mints of tn
the U. S. to the free and unlimite,
coinage of both gold and silver, an
for ever prohibit a further issue G
r any form of bonded indebtedness
e by the nation, state, county
o municipal or district organization
# for any purpose whatsoever, an
= abolish all laws providing for tn
g collection of debts. We will the
t be brought to strictly cash basis
h and the demand for sufficient pc
capita currency would be SO grea
that no government could with
II stand the pressure. Then let Il
e abolish gold and silver standard
h and substitute therefor a bushel {
l. wheat or loaf of bread as tn
e standard of value for all other pr(
d ducts. We propose to elaborat
q this proposition later on.
