The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-11-12

Bayhorse smelter was to close
down last Saturday evening.
A large bar of gold-silver bull
lion the product of the Lucky
Boy G. NJ. Co., of Custer, was
shipped to Salt Lake City one
day last week.
A new card game is all the
rage in North Idaho called Kan
garoo solo. 1t is played with a
whist deck and combines nearly
all other games. 1t requires
four persons to play it. Those
who are familiar with the play
say it is more interesting than
solo-60.
II monetary reformers can be
fooled into dividing up and the
Populists nominate a President,
the silver men nominate a Presi-
dent, and maybe one or two 9TH
er factions nominate one, it will
be fun for the goldbugs. They
will elect their man, while us
fellows, will talk of the wrongs
of the people, and end in twad-
die. Twaddle hurts no one. The
question of greatest importance
now is, have the American people
sense enough to themselves ? If
we have we will get together,
vote together and down this ras-
cally horde who have contracted
to deliver the people of the Unit
ed States, bound hand and foot,
to the English gold trust. The
danger is supreme. Every in
fiuence which money can buy
they will use. Many of the trust
ed papers and men will be
bought up and by their influence
work to prevent a union of re-
formers, which means defeat for
the people and victory for the
goldbug crowd.-SilUer Knight.
In the month of September,
1894, Miss Edna Brown, of Kane
vile. Kane county, Illinois, start
ed letter chain" for the pur-
pose of getting 1000, 900 postage
stamps with which to pay a med
ical institution for the treatment
of a crippled girl of the county.
Her scheme worked astounding
ly and has grown to such pro-
portions that she cannot stop it
any more than she can stop the
waves of the ocean. Already
over 5,0O0,0 600 stamps have been
received, and they are coming in
at the rate of 100000 per day.
Kaneville is a little hamlet with
less than 100 inhabitants and the
Office is swamped with letters.
The postoffice department of the
government is puzzled to know
how to stop the mail going to
Edna r. Brown. Already she
has received more letters than
any other who has ever lived.
The chain has been extended to
Europe and the first installment
brought over 5000 from that
country. 1t now requires doz-
ems of people to help in the task
of opening her daily letters
which are taken from the office
in wagon loads. These letters
are pouring in from Germany,
Italy, India. China, Japan, South
America and the isles of the
ocean. They cannot be stopped
and the postal department is per-
picked to know what to do.
