Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. 1t
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Washington. Natal Day.

AS a boy, George Washington
was truthful, Industrious and
fond of manly sport. When a
very young man he was chosen
to go on a journey of hundreds
of miles through the wilderness.
This was a perilous undertaking,
for he was exposed to many
harkships, fording rapid rivers
filled with floating ice. While
on this trip he was shot at by a
lurking savage.
A little later he led an armed
force into the some country.
When Gen. Braddock was sur
prised and defeated Washington
with his little band of Virginians,
saved the remnant of the army
from destruction.
When we consider the dangers
that he had gone through, and
his fearless courage as shown
under the most trying circum-
stances, it is no wonder that he
was chosen to lead our armies in
the great struggle for liberty.
His little band of brave men were
oft times destitute of food and
clothing, and so poorly shod that
they could be traced by the blood
on the frozen ground.
ANY other man would have de-
SPARED but he never gave up.
He risked his life on many hard
fought battle fields, and proved
fully match for the crafty gen
erals of the old world.
He would take no pay for his
services, thus showing that he
fought for liberty. But above
all his matchless integrity stands
forth in striking contrast wi tt
the intrigue, double dealing, an6
pusillanimity of many so-called
great men.
His name will be revere6
wherever human tongue pleads
or human hearts pant for free
dom. A grateful nation has built
the highest monument in the
world in honor of this illustriou:
man, and we who enjoy the bles
sings secured by his valor anC
that of his brave companions dc
well to commemorate the birth.
day of him who was first in wa
first in peace and first in th'
hearts of his countrymen."

Ia He Kft<r Paul P. Lawson


Deputy Sheriff Fenton is in
town from HALEY. Mr.. Fenton
was sheriff when Paul p. Lawson
walked out of the county Jail last
summer.
He was sheriff last year, but
under the county conglomeration
over there he only held one year,
and now serves as deputy this
year.
AS to what he is over here for
he doesn't say. but another does
say that he has word of Lawson
being in Mexico, and he is here
to get the necessary papers that
will allow him to place his hands
on the ex-representative whokil-
led his man in Custer county in
cold blood.
Lawson was sentenced to hang,
it will be remembered, was trans
ferred to Blaine county for safe
keeping, and one pretty moon
light night he just walked out of
the Jail, got on a horse that was
awaiting him, and never even
left his future address.
Since then he has been seen in
six different places 1000 miles
apart at the same time, and it is
thought that he is now locate
all right.
Deputy Sheriff Fenton has 'ere
this said that if he ever gets his
hands on Paul, that he will land
him safely in Clusters Jail.

school Entertainment.

Last Saturday evening an en-
tertainment was given at the |.
o. o. F. hall, in Challis, by our
public schools for the benefit of
the school library. This enter
tainment marked the closing of
the schools here. which have
been taught so successfully by
Miss r. A. Harnett, of Boise.
and Miss Edna West, of Challis.
The program was merited and
and the selections rendered are
deserving of much praise. A
fact which we are proud to men
ton is that Challis possesses a
whole lot of exceedingly bright
children, and this being the case,
our entertainments are always a
success when they affiliate. and
this one was no exception to the
general rule, and what q blessing
it would be if Challis only had a
decent school building with suf-
ficient capacity wherein these
scholars might be instructed; but
we have not, and must be content
with what we have, unless the
citizens will by their votes say
that they want better school &C
commodations. The hall wa:
crowded with people. The ladies
who arranged this entertainment
as well as the children and 9th
ers who took part, did well.
The exercises in the main. were
devoted to Washington's Birth
day. The hearty encore thai
each received who took part by
the large audience, showed tina
our appreciate talent. We coulS

came to him in a peaceful man

a struggle. He has been ailing

port says the gipsies steal, but
I saw none. and judging from the

man has not hitherto been con-
sidered dangerous by those who
know him best, though his talk
is somewhat of the barking
dog order. But on this occas-
ion being under the influence of
liquor the offense was magnified
by his distorted vision until mole
hills appeared like mountains.
He accordingly procured some
giant powder with the avowed
determination of blowing down
the domicile that sheltered the
youthful offenders. Some of his
friends or aequaintanees getting
wind OF his design persuaded
him to give up the explosives
