THEY LOST THEIR NERVE.

Adventures of Three Medical students at
Dissecting Table.
From the Cleveland World.
A good story is told on three young
college students who recently accepted
an invitation to attend an operating
clinic at a local medical college. The
three were in high spirits over the
prospects of the unusual treat, and
were assembling in the dissecting room
fully half an hour before the time for
the clinic TO begin. The strong odor of
medicines, carbolic acid and the like,
which pervaded the place was rather

Ed. Short came out from yell
low Jacket last Thursday eve
ming. He brought with him the
returns from that precinct, which
shows only three Mckinley
votes. That precinct gave the
People's-Democratic ticket a big
majority.
The MESSENGER made a slight
mistake in recording the arrival
of the 10 pound son to the wife
of E. G. Dodge, in Challis. The
youngster was born on Monday
night, October 26, 1896, at 1880
o'clock, instead of October 9th
as reported.
1t looks like four years of Nc
Kinley rule, which means hard
times and strikes.

Gus. Betz was down from Bay

J. M. Jackson has sold his

A dance was given at the |. O..
O. F. hall last Friday night. A
fair number of dancers were in
attendance.
Reports come out from Custer
that a very important strike has
been made in the Lucky Boy
mine. 1t is said that ore body
recently discovered is all of 9
feet in width, and very rich in
gold. This means renewed ac-
tivity in mining in that camp,
and we look for much prosperity
there. From all reports this is
one of the most important dis
coveries in Custer county fol
some time, and we understand
that the company are already
awarding wood contracts.

A telegram received at Chal-
lis last Saturday night said that
Bryan had the best of the fight,
and was gaining. The back
counties show large Democratic
gains. Dubois doubtful.
| In Lemhi and Blaine counties
the People's-Democratic ticket
made a clean sweep. The indi-
cations are that this party has
also carried Idaho.
Bryan's majority in Idaho is
estimated at Is, 900.
All of the proposed amend
ments to the constitution have
undoubtedly been showed under
in Custer county.

ceded to Bryan, and probably

THE ROCK-CRUSHER.
Highway Commissioner Maude i
Pleased With the State Plant.

Highway Commissioner Maude is
Pleased With the State Plant.
Highway Commissioner Maude was
seen last evening after his return from
Folsom, and said, in response to in
quiries, that the State rock-crushing
plant is nearly ready for practical work.
The crushers run up to the most san
guine expectation. The bunkers are
rapidly approaching completion. They
have taken longer to buird than people
had hoped, because there had to be
such deep sinking to get firm founda-
tions. Then the stripping Of the quarry
was a tremendous task, for thousands
of carloads of strippings were removed
to open the quarry.
1t is Mr.. Maude's judgment that the
plant will be delivering road metal
into the bunkers by the 10Th Of April,
and he prophesies that it will be of the
best prepared road metal ever seen in
the State. AS an engineer, he expresses
his great satisfaction with the work
done, and says it will be a credit to the
State all around, and prove great
economy to the people.

The committee was granted further
time in which to make a report.
1t was suggested that the chamber be-
gin to gather the nucleus of an exhibit
Of the products of this portion of the
State and put it in shape to make it at
tractive and instructive to visitors, and
it was decided to take action in that di-
rection.
Win J. Davis spoke Of the proposition
made by the City Board of Education,
that the City Trustees join with them in
taking the school census this spring SO
that a census Of the total population OF
the city be taken at the same time The
number of new houses, money expended
for them, number of people employed in
factories, and any other statistics de-
sired could also be ascertained. The
extra cost for this work would not be
much, and he thought the results when
given to the country could not fail to
well repay the cost.
The board decided to recommend to
the Trustees that they join in having
the census taken
Mr.. Bentley suggested that there were
great many jars for canned fruit and
other things pertaining to the county
exhibit at the State Fair which have to
be cared for, and that it might be well
for the chamber to make an offer to the
Supervisors that, if desired, the cham
ber would receive them and take charge
of the county exhibit, and see that ii
was placed on. exhibition in creditable
shape.
It was decided to make the suggestion
to the Board of Supervisors and the
board adjourned
