Def, Oh dalIey, VINO is running
on the Populist ticket for Judge |
: of this district, will address the
citizens of Custer county during
, this week on the political issues
of the day. Mr.. Bruner is fine
orator, and all should hear him.
The first reports of the break
ing out of new geyser in the
|; Yellowstone park, ON Thursday
, of last week, have been confirm
, ed and are attracting agreat deal
of attention. 1t throws a stream
of water fully as high as ''Old
) Faithful, " is very noisy in its
eruption and has been playing
necessarily since its arrival 1t
is a geyser of the first magnitude
The new conner is located in the
Black Pool, and while there are
numerous other geysers and hot
springs near by, there are no
l active geysers in that immediate
locality.
G. S. Jordan & Co. have their
saloon on Main street now run
. ming in full blast. Mr. Jordan
! is in charge, and has a very
! large and fine stock of goods ON
: hand, from the old and reliable
: firm of Rubel, Penglase & Co.,
of Chicago. Charlie is an old
! timer in this business in Custer
: county, and by his square deal
ing has won him host of warm
friends. Challis now has three
o first-class saloons where the
weary may find rest, and the
: thirsty may quench their thirst,
a all of which are owned and run
X by honorable, straightforward
/ business men.
). The house fly in Challis becom-
q ing quite friendly and numerous
: of late. Now the fly in the
morning, all our right and pro-
test scorning, comes upon us
2, without warning, to our couches
/ of calm repose; and before sun
IT lights peeping, through the
K vines of dewdrops weeping, this
& vile insect falls to creeping, over
TO eyes and ears and nose.
IN '.Wretch ~ is shrieked in tones
" despairing, spiced perhaps with
t. modest swearing, and course ad-
ID jectives unsparing. ''Get thy
IN feet from off our face Out upon
the senseless creatures thus tC
pasture on our features; or well
ie swear by all the preachers wei
" exterminate the race" But ou
le angry words defying, still thai
Us fly continues flying, DER tht
