AI HanSlmarl tney Will be joined
by other friends. They will
make the trip overland and be
absent about 30 days. People
who never saw the Park will be
happily surprised at its natural
wonders and beautiful scenery.
1t is truly wonderful spot.
The Populist convention at
Bayhorse last Wednesday was
well attended, and Hon. John J.
Mccarthy, Jas. Turnbull and r.
A. Pierce were elected delegates
to the State convention to be
held at Boise today. They left
for the convention on Friday
morning last. They go un-

This week the Haley Times has
this to say in regard to the Gus
ter county telephone line: ''The
Line "a Co." John r. Hart and
Miss Miller got back from Chal-
lis today. The subscriptions
there amount to $1,000. The
Challisites want $500 more,
which will be raised. Mr.. Hart
will return to Challis In about 10
days. We hope that the line
will be up in time to receive the
election news.
At the Democratic called meet
ing held in Challis last Tuesday
afternoon, j. F. Wilkinson and
w. II. Felkner were chosen as
delegates to the Democratic State
convention to be held at Boise
today. Mr.. Felkner could not
attend but gave his proxy to Mr..
Wilkinson, who departed on last
Friday morning. Mr.. Wilkinson
will also stop at Blackfoot and
purchase necessary lumber for
the addition to the I. o. o. F.
hall in Challis.
We are in receipt of lengthy
circular letter from Geo. Stew
art, of Boise. for publication,
entitled Address to the Re
publicans of Idaho" 1t trys to
show why the people of Idaho
should support Mckinley. No,
George, we have no use for it
the MESSENGER will support W.
j. Bryan. Send your goldbug
literature to the Lemhi Republic,
they can use your political rot.
The Republicans of this county
are for Brayan and Dubois.
Charlie Heney met with ter
rible accident at Custer last
Thursday afternoon. He was
engaged in hauling ore on Custer
mountain, and he attempted to
jump from his wagon. but the
bank being steep he was thrown
under the heavy wagon loaded
with ore and the wagon passing
over both legs near the body.
One of his limbs is crushed in a
horrible manner, the bones being
ground into splinters and pro-
truding through the flesh at diff
ferent places, and the other limb
is also badly broken. Very little
hopes are entertained for his re-
covery. Charlie is a young man
well thought of. This will be a
sad blow on his folks who live
near Houston.
The Boston Globe wants Nc
Kinley Ito get a move onto him
self. 1t says: The leading Re-
publicans are all convinced that
there is nothing in the tariff
question to call off the attention
of the people from young Bryan.
This week Mr.. Bryan passes Nc
Kinley's own door on his way
East. AS yet Mckinley droops.
He is still reticent. He shows
little vim, while his enemies, full
of push and confidence, seem
eager for the fray. Does Nc
Kinley propose to be hammer or
anvil in this lively business of
forging ballots Is he to simply
thrash old musty tariff straws
while Bryan is awakening the
entire country on new and fresh
issues ?''
The editor of the Willmar
(Minn.) Argus lives in a house
located between a Methodist
church and a dance hall. One
evening recently there was a
gathering in both places. 1t be-
ing too warm for comfort indoors
the editor sat on the veranda and
took in the situation. This is
what he heard
/ Let us pray-all salute-we
beseech thee to join hands and
draw near-circle to the left
listen to us-frst forward and
back-as we all promenade
