The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-03-17
Hon. James NJ. shoup, of Sal.

mon, is now engaged IN supply
ing the state Republican press
with communications indicating
his ideas of party policy, etc.
Hon. Jim is different from his
distinguished relative, the sena-
tor, in that the latter knows
when to keep his mouth shut,
which is most of the time.-Cald-
well Record.
1t has been said that the letter
"e'' is the most unfortunate let
ter in the entire English alpha
bet, because it is never in cash,
never out of debt, and never out
of danger" But we should re-
member that the aforesaid letter
is never in war and always in
peace. 1t is the beginning of ex-
istence, the commencement of
ease and the end of trouble.
Without it there would be no
bread, no meat, no water, no
life, no eternity.
Chas. Raine arrived home from
Dubuque, Iowa, last Thursday
by the Blackfoot stage. He in
forms US that he spent a very
pleasant time among the old rel
atives and friends in the Mis-
sissippi country. He returned
sooner than he desired to on ac-
count of business matters, which
he supposed were running wrong
but he is very happily disap-
pointed to find that every thing
is right. Charley, as we term
him, is looking as if the Dubuque
people had been kindly to him.
Everybody welcomes his return.
He will spend the summer at his
mines near Custer, where he has
large interests in both quartz
and placer. T. W. Mollart who
accompanied him on his trip will
return about May 1st.
