"UncIe JOSH"

DeLamar has done herself proud by
giving, entirely with home people, what
is pronounced by all who attended to
be decidedly the best show ever pro
duced in this camp.
The play was happy selection, being
the popular comedy of "Uncle Joshua
Whitcomb, the New England Farmer" /"
the leading role in which is filed by an
old-time New England farmer, first
opening in Boston, where his peculiar
tiles created much amusement and
where he met with numerous advent
ures while trying to 'straighten things
out" and afterwards at his old home in
New Hampshire, where his Boston
friends visited him.
Had all the eight ladies and gentle
men who took part in the play been
strangers here we would have taken
pleasure in making special note of the
manner in which each one acquitted
her or himself, but they being all well
known to nearly every person in the
audience, we will let it suffice to say
that the universal verdict was quite
flattering to the performers.
Considering the fact that the pro-
ceeds of the performances are to be de-
voted to fund in which the public
will be benefited, the attendance was
not as great as it should have been, but
it is gratifying to note that on both
nights the audience was largely made
up of our best and most genteel people,
whose appreciation of the play and per-
formers was expressed in a most fatter-
ing manner.
The DeLamar Thespian Society will
at once begin the rehearsal of another
play, proposing to give it in about
month from now.
Next Friday and Saturday nights they
will give the play in Silver City. That
appreciative town will doubtless give
them a hearty reception hnd we do not
hesitate to assure the people who at
tend that they will be more than
pleased.

The thanks of the NUGGET are due to
Hon. I. W. Garrett, Secretary of State,
for copy of Manual of Idaho, for 1885
and 1896, prepared by him, containing
an official directory of the state insti-
tutions, abstracts of the votes cast in
each county in the state at the last
general election and much general in
formation relating to business, social,
educational and religious affairs. The
manual is very convenient and useful
reference book.

Our own Freddy, Senator Dubois, is
"catching it'' from the goldbug Repub-
hcan-tarif-reform-everything Eastern
newspapers, nowadays, being called an
obstructionist, because he votes with
the friends of the white metal against
calling up the House tariff bill. If
those Eastern goldbug Republicans
will just stop and consider, they will
find majority of the party in this
state have mighty little interest in the
doctrine of protection except on gen
al principles, and that they consider
the cause Of bimetallism more inn
portant one to the entire country.

Every decent man will appreciate the
suggestion made by Governor McCon-
nell, in reply to an inquiry made by
New York paper as to his sentiments
in regard to countenancing prize fights.
Gov. Mcconnell suggests that the law
prohibiting lottery advertisements be-
ing sent through the mails should also
be made to prohibit all prize fight dis
cussions, published in the newspapers,
being sent in the mails. If the news
papers would only ignore the clique Of
toughs and blackguards who follow or
support this pursuit, we would soon
hear the last of them.

''This goldbug organ, the friend and
abettor of all enemies of the Westnever
loses an opportunity to lie maliciously
of and concerning the great men and
industries of the West"
The foregoing is clipped from an
item in the Butte Mining World, charg-
ing the Engineer and Mining Journal
of New York, with making ga most un-
warrantable, cowardly and Hbelous at
tack" upon two Montana gentlemen.
It exactly describes, in that paragraph,
the character of that journal. No
friend of Western mining interests
should patronize it.

Every member of congress who voted
against free coinage knew that by so
doing he was aiding the rich bondholder
as against his country and in violation
of every principle of equity and justice.
Every obligation of the government is
payable in coin, not in gold coin nor in
silver coin, but in coin, either gold or
silver, at the option of the government.
That such is the fact, and that the
bondholders as well as everybody else
so understand, and have understood
from the beginning, there can be no
question. Upon this point there is no
room for controversy. But few
months ago these same bondholders for
fifty millions of bonds that the govern
ment was then offering for sale, offered
sixteen millions, or what would have
been equivelant to sixteen millions at
the time of final payment, more for
gold bonds than they were willing to
pay for coin bonds, therefore, proving
beyond QUESTION that the bondholders
themselves fully understand that coin
does not mean gold but that we have a
right to pay these obligations in silver
and that they expected at the time of
purchasing these bonds that they would
be paid in silver, otherwise the price
for the gold bonds and the coin bonds
would have been one and the same.

ENGLISH AS SHE Is SPoKE.-The
darky is fond of long words. The
meaning doesn't matter, so the words
are long, as this absolutely true story
will testify:
On the MS plantation in Mississippi
lives an old "before the war" darky,
too old to do any work harder than
throwing feed to the poultry. She
has known no other home and is a
character. Visitors to the plantation
always 60 to her cabin, and to their
question, "How are you this morning,
Aunt Crisp" never fail to receive the
following reply: "Well, honey, I'm
kinder oncomplicated. De superfuity
of de mornin' done taken de vivosity
outen de air and left me de conse-
quence of comprehension"

A SERIES OF MIsFoRTUNEs.-An
Englishman of the last century, Sir
Thomas Robinson by name, was fa'
nous for nothing but being a great
bore. He made great many visits,
and sometimes many public men had
to resort to all sorts of expedients to
avoid him. At the house of a certain
high official where he called, the ser.
wants announcement, "My master
and mistress are out" often had no
effect on him.
"Oh! WE'LL" be would say, 81 will
just drop in and have chat with the
children"
Sometimes he said he "would have
talk with the parrott," or "Ill just
take the opportunity Of setting my
watch by the great clock on the stairs
case"
One morning, when it was really
impossible to admit him, Sir Thomas
appeared bright and smiling, at the
door. The servant looked down from
an upper window.
"My master and mistress are out, )"
said the servant, as soon as he saw Sir
Thomas.
"Ah! Well, I'll just step in and"-
"The children are all asleep, ~!
"Indeed? Well Pip
"The parrott is dead, Sir Thomas u
"Ah that's bad. At any rate Pip
"The clock is stopped, sir It's not
going since last night"
Completely baffled, the tiresome gen.
tleman was compelled to withdraw
without getting in.

The SNUB DIRECT.-Some time
ago a young minister consented to take
the evening service at country
church which was several miles away
from his own town. He hired a car
riage to take him there, and at the
close of the service the beadle, who
was little outspoken, with a view to
paying any expense, asked him,
"And how much will ye hiv' TO
pay, sir?" "Oh, only seven and a
sixpence," replied the young minister.
"What! seven and sixpence?" cried
the beadle. well, sir, if you ever
think of coming again, and it costs
that much, if 1 was you I wudna'
come. It's not worth it,"

"Cap" Nelson is moonshiner whose
stills in Clinton county, KY, have
never been found. The revenue officers
have endeavored for years to catch
him, but the nearest they ever sue.

the details of which raid were told d
Star reporter by Thad Arnold, one of
the deputies who accompanied the
posse. -,
ave left Point Burnside" he said,
"and stopped the first night in Monti,
cello, starting early the next morning
for Boston mountain, near which Mel.
son was known to live. As we rode up
the narrow bride path, that is the
easiest way to the top Of the mountain,
a mountaipeer met us.
"sHowdy, strangers he said.
"'Howdy,' we answered.
"sGoin' to Albany ?" he inquired.
"tYes.'
"'Wall, I reckon I kin do yo'uns
some good an make an homes dollar,
he remarked. 'One ofyo' all jess get
down an come hyar.
"Our leader dismounted, and the
man said, cautiously:
"'Thar'sa feller named "Cap" Mel
son hyar, an thsr's rewards fun i'm.
Eff ye' all will bring some men hyar,
I'll go halvers."
"After little sparring deal was
made with the fellow, who took US to
house for supper, where he said Mel
son had engagement to come that
night. We watch the informer care
fully, and kept our weapons ready for
use.
"'Yo'uns all go up yander in the
loft an keep a sharp lookout. When
he comes, jump right down an captor
i'm suddint. Take me, too, for my hide
wouldn' be worth shucks ef they he'd
any ijee he war given away"
1--WE were a little suspicious, but
kept close watch upon the man. He
was not out of our sight except when
he went to feed the horses.
sAbout the time it grew dark there
were sounds of horses hoofs, and our
spy whispered up the loft: He'll ride
up, an I'll 20 out an see i'm an stop
i'm. He won't come in cause thar's
two others with i'm. When yo' all
hear three pistol shots yo' kim know
it's i'm. Git yo' critters an surroun'
'im.'
1--WE started after the horses, and the
pistol shots were heard as we reached
the log stable. The horses were gone,
the lights were out in the cabin, and
when we got back it was deserted. We
finally got into the house, and loosely
scrawIed on piece of brown paper
was written: 4 told yo' all I'd show
you Cap Nelson for half the two thou
sand dollars. You all ct supper with
him, but he don't live here as general
thing. He took the horses for half
what you owe him for showing himself
and the rest can be sent him at Mon
ticello."
ssIt was the last trace we could find
of him, and we walked thirty miles to
town, expecting every minute to be
shot at"
