The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-09-10

The wagon road from Challis
to Yellow Jacket was completed
by its contractors on Sept. 1st.,
and already several heavy and
light teams have gone in from
here. Also that portion of the
road from the mouth of Fourth
of July creek, making connec-
ton with this road is completed,
so now teams can go direct from
Challis to Yellow Jacket In one
day.
We are informed that this
good mountain road and the
grades are easy. OF course it is
little heavy now, as all new
roads are, but by use will become
packed and make splendid
highway. Messrs. Cotter &
Cristo built the entire road to
the mouth of Fourth of July
creek for the small sum of "a. 500
and will make some money on
their contract. Owing to dull
times the building of this road
was a big undertaking, but by
the enterprise of its officers and
liberal donations it is completed.

WING FATS WEDDING.
a Notable Function in High Chinese
Society in san Francisco.

4 Notable Function in High Chinese
Society in san Francisco.
Wing Fat, well-known member OF
the Chinese colony, was married at
o'clock Sunday morning to Miss Now
Sing Yu, niece of Ii Hoy Hung, presi-
dent Of one Of the Six Companies. Last
night TIE bride and groom entertained
their friends at dinner at the Hank
Fer Low restaurant on Dupont street.
Some 200 Chinese and between thirty
and forty ladies and gentlemen were
present The bride is q demure little
chinese woman, Just IS years OF age.
She is but a recent arrival in san
francisco, having come from her Ori-
entail home to marry Mr.. Fat, who IS
the foreman for Louis Meyerstein &
Co., and is worth over 100000, says
San Francisco Examiner. There were
put few at the wedding, and the pecu-
lIar Chinese ceremony was performed
IN one of the temples of the Six Com
panIes. When the bridal company ar
rived at the restaurant last night there
was a great display Of colored lights
and perfect fusillade of bombs and
hrecrackers. The banquet room was
decorated in brilliant colors and aglow
with the light of many Chinese Ian
terms. The white guests were seated
at different table from the Chinese,
and at the table where the latter were
seated the groom presided with his
bride Mrs. Fat had on a light green
SILK costume trimmed with gold bro
cade and many precious stones. The
groom was arrayed in silk suit suit
able to his rank and fortune. The menu
was most elaborate and there was
nothing to mar the festivities of the
evening in the least. The white guests
enjoyed the affair as much as any who
were present, and the groom was fully
equal to the occasion, both in the dig
nifty CT his bearing and the manner
IN which he welcomed the guests in
true Oriental style. After the Chi
nese fashion, the speechmaking and the
popping of champagne corks opened
up the wedding DINNER. Ii Hoy Hung,
the brides uncle, made addresses both
in Chinese and English. A Chinese
dinner of choice and rare dishes was
then served. But these many and va
ried courses did not conclude the repast
for to the surprise of many Of the Chi
nese and white guests a dinner cooked
and served in the American style fol-
lowed. Each lady in the party was
presented by the bride with a fan,
palr OF ivory chopsticks and Chinese
bracelet Every gentleman received as
memento Of the occasion a handsome
pipe At the conclusion of the dinner
the guests repaired to one of the Chi
nese theaters, where a performance by
Chlnese children was in progress for
she entertainment of Mr.. and Mrs. Fat.

The Law of Sex.

An English author, G. r. Stark
weather, thinks he has discovered a
great "law of SEX" of which the fol-
lowing is a summary: If the husband
is mentally superior to the wife, the
family will consist mostly of girls, and
vice versa. Dark complexion is super
Tor to light, dark trees and plants are
the most hardy and dark horses the
best. A square forehead and proni-
nent veins indicate superiority large
prominent eye (Which usually accom-
panies conversational powers) is the re-
verse. But the best indication of su-
periority is a large and prominent nose.

and brain workers generally, have

men appear just to struggle through the
ordeal without mourning the stigma of

sober and moral with their wives, and
producing an equal number of boys and

Among his parishionors was a black

MIvELAzs INVENTION.

1t Seemed to BE Theoretically Right
but There Was a Screw Loose.
From the Louisville Commercial: It
is Il good thing to be an inventor, if
you can invent something that viii do
good work. Il, however, your idea is a
bad one. your experience is not likely
to be a pleasant one. Louis 1-ivelaz is
the latest victim Of an Improbable
idea Mr.. Mivelaz is q great fisherman
and spends most of his spare time on
the river front. AS he always has good
luck he is generally surrounded by a
crowd of boys, who watch him haul in
his fishes. This is annoying, and Mr.
Mivelaz has long pondered over a way
10 get rid Of the bows. The result Of his
meditation was that he HE'D him to a
printer and had printed on a large card
these words: This is my busy day"
The next time Mr.. Mivelaz went fish
ing he threw out his line, and then
hung the card by a string around his
neck ii such a manner that the card
hung down his back Then he waited
for the first small boy to come around,
expecting him to sink off on tiptoe as
soon as he caught sight OF the card But
this did not happen. The first boy that
happened that way did leave IN a hur-
". but it was only to come back in a
few minutes with a crowd of twenty or
thirty urchins, who stared at the card
as if they had never seen anything like
it before. More came, and soon the fish
erman was surrounded by q crowd of
such size that Patrclman Doran ran
down the bank in a hurry, thinking
that someone had fallen in the river.
Nobody was gladder to see him than
the fisherman, and he soon relieved
him by scattering the crowd. Since
that memorable day Mr.. Mivelaz has
been doubtful about acting upon any
CT his brilliant thoughts till they have
been tried upon someone else

The White Rock Eagle, weekly
newspaper established in the town of
White Rock several months ago by a
man named Fearnaught, suspended pub
LEGATION under disastrous circumstances
last week. Mr.. Fearnaught visited The
Kicker Office and had a long talk with
US before establishing The Eagle. We
told him frankly that his name was
agin him as a starter. The boys would
take it as bluff and be anxious to know
whether he feared naught or could stand
up to a row. He didn't look to rs like
a man with sand in his craw, and when
we presented him with an old revolver
as an editorial gift he had to squirt all
around to discover the business end Of
it. We were willing to help the critter
along, however, and advised him to buy
half an acre of ground and start pri-
vate graveyard the first thing. Our way
would have been to pick fight the very
first day and take our chances, but be
decided on soft measures and had his
nose pulled before his first issue went
to press. That was the beginning Of the
end. Brother Fearnaught has been kick
ed and cuffed and walloped until his
weight fell to 100 pounds and his hair
turned gray. He was holding on in
hopes that public sentiment would
change, but last week his paper con-
tanned an item which wrought his final
downfall. It was about the magnificence
Of Niagara falls.
The town of White Rock is situated
on Squaw creek, and just there the
creek has fall Of seven feet. 1t is
cataract which the folks are all proud Of
and regard as the biggest thing on earth.
Therefore, when The Eagle Dragged
about Niagara falls and gave Squaw
creek the cold cut the whole population
moved down on the Office. In ten min
utes there was no Office, no Eagle, no
press, and the editor was flying for his
life. He is flying yet, and from all we
hear will not stop short of Nebraska.
We have tried to be sorry for him, but
the tears will not come. He was pig
headed and wouldn't take our advice,
and he may console himself with the
thought that he alone was responsible
for the calamity which made him
pauper and jumped him into the bush
fugitive at the same time.-M. Quad

There Was No Shooting.

The dispatch sent out of here to the
eastern papers last Saturday regarding
an incident in the common council was
both misleading and malicious. We had
scarcely taken our place as presiding
officer of the meeting when we noticed
that Alderman A1cGraw of the Second
ward had mischief in his eye We
couldn t understand what he was at I'M
til he moved to take from the table
resolution for a sidewalk on the east
side of Grant place. There is but one
house on the east side of that street, and
the alderman owns that His idea was
to stick the taxpayers about $500 for
his own individual benefit, and as he
made his motion he started to draw his
guns. We were too quick for him, how
ever, and ordered him to throw up his
hands. Alderman McGraw is a critter
who knows when he is beaten, and he
didn t hesitate to elevate and keep his
hands up until disarmed by the city
clerk. He left the council chamber with
a threat to DO rs up later, but after the
session was over We met him in the
Yaller Dog saloon, and he extended his
hand, acknowledged his error and asked
that friendly relations be renewed
The incident really amounted to moth
ing, and we are sorry to see the eastern
papers giving it so much space. Ours is
q pioneer town in a territory. Our com
mon council is composed of good ma
terial, but we run things after our own
fashion and should not be criticised be-
cause that fashion differs from New
York or Chicago Every alderman
brings at least one gun into the meeting
with him, while we always have two
within reach, but we nevertheless fiat
ter ourselves that the public business is
as carefully considered and as promptly
disposed of as if we followed some other
style.
