Democrats, who were unable to
dictate to their late convention
at Boise City, are on the ram
page; that is to say, they are
terribly sorry on account of the
weakness (?) and crimes of their
party. eye who have tears to
shed, prepare to shed them now. F"
We learn that a gentleman
from Park City, Utah, has taken
charge as superintendent of the
Lucky Boy G. M. Co.'S. mines at
Custer.
Joe Rodgers had his sheep
corrells, yats and wool bailer set
on fire and destroyed by some
party one day last week. De-
stroying property is poor way
to settle difficulties.
This Monday morning, Aug. 81,
just before going to press, we
learn that Mr.. A. Bollett of Gus
ter is dead. He died in Challis.
Miss Perley Thomas, recently
of Pike Seminary, New York,
has been selected to teach the
Primary Department of the Chal-
lis public school. Miss Thomas
comes highly recommended. At
this time the Board has made no
selection for principal. The fol-
lowing are some of the applica-
tions that were presented:

City, Utah.

Col. Sharp did not go to the
Boise convention, as stated last
week. He only got part way
when he met mining man that
was coming to look at his mines
and he turned back. They de-
parted for the mines at Stanley
Basin last Thursday morning.
Two mail sacks loaded with
genuine goldbug literature ar
rived in Challis last week, and
we suppose it is intended to edu-
cate the people to vote for Nc
Kinley as against their own vel
fare. This kind of trash will
have no effect whatever on the
intelligent voters of Custer
county.
Somewhat of a mining boom is
prevailing on Morse creek, Pah
Simari, and we have been inform
ed that many placer claims have
been located, but whether any
gold to any amount has been dis
covered we have been unable tC
learn.
The Challis Cornet Band under
the direction of Prof. Fowler, i:
progressing in very satisfactory
manner. There are only ning
instruments in use at present
but will be increased later on
The boys already are able to play
quite number of selections, ant
shortly expect to make theil
appearance to the public.
All that portion of the Challis
Yellow Jacket wagon road il
Custer county is in good condi
ton for travel, but that portion
of the road in Lemhi county ap
pears to be neglected.
| Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Morrow
and Miss Thomas visited friends
in Challis last week.
Dan Steen arrived in Challi!
last Thursday evening from
Boise, by private conveyance
over the state wagon road. HI
renortS a very rouuh trim.
