THE FOURTH AT HOME.
A Very Quiet and Undemonstrative
Day Passed in Weiser.

A Very Quiet and Undemonstrative
Day Passed in Weiser.
The 4th of July was remarkable
for the lack of any demonstration
that would indicate the day. Even
the weather would not enthuse, and
all day the wind came in cool putfs
from the southwest, almost chilly
Young America even seemed dead to
the occasion and only at long inter
walls the prevailing silence would be
broken by the feeble report of fire
cracker that did not seem to explode
with the snap of former times.
EARLY on the morning of the 3rd the
exodus from towu commenced, some
were off for Salubria, some for Crys-
tai Bottom, others for the foothills
to put in the day under the pines and
along the trout streams. Later in
the day quite a number went up to
Durbin's grove and joined the ever
sociablc and pleasant company that
came from Nanns creek, and the
home contingent had to rest content
and get along as best they could
with no red ants in the jelly, sand in
the salad and worms and bugs on the
table cloth, these being luxuries OBJ
tainabe only at picnics. Judge w.
DRY, as is customary for him, floated
the national emblem over his place
of business, and his worthy example
was followed by Walt Lyons and
| Matthews & Hauniz, but outside oi
these there was not enough bunting
displayed to fill a sheep herder's
clothes line. Weiser made no effor
to celebrate, and the effort was sue
cess. AS the brilliant gold ant
crimson of the most beautiful sunse
of the year piled its glittering glorie'
in the west and then faded into dark
ness, one solitary rocket shot into tn
sky the last patriotic sigh of SOM
home guard, aud the signal also TO
the wandering on the way towar'
home. And this was the 4th i

dinner time and bade all bring the

THEY COME FROM MILES AROUND
And Have Glorious Time In the Beau
tiful, Smiling Valley.

Salubria, famous for celebrations,
sustained her general reputation on
last Saturday, when fully 1900
people from SO miles around gathered
within her gates to celebrate the great
American day. The hospltabe town
entertained her guests in manner
satisfactory to all and among other
points might be mentioned that the
hotel Accommodations, which are usu-
ally very strained in inland towns on
such occasions, were very serviccable,
indeed The Inland, as newly fitted
and furnished by Landlord Day, was
brought out in most favorable
light.
The good conduct Of the people is
also matter which cannot be too
highly spoken Of. Not sign Of dis
cord--no rows, no indication Of un-
due indulgence in drink. A better
class of people could not be gathered
together-nor more pretty girls. Ev-
cry body was sociable and there was
no such thing as "sets" or "cliques. "
Friday night they began to gather
in from Weiser and the more distant
points, and Saturday morning all
manner Of conveyances began to roll
in, bringing in the cclebrators.
In due season the procession,
headed by the Liberty car and band
wagon was formed under the super
intendence of Tom Carrick and Sam
Taylor, marshals OF The day. AS it
took up the march it itstretched IL mile
and halt in the closest order. Al
the long train proceeded, the bant
discoursed patriotic airs and the littl,
ones on the Liberty car looked an
gelic.

the Yalley.-Many Visitors.
SHE DISPENSES GOOD CHEER.
Everybody Freely Fed and Made Happy
What Other Places Did.

Monday dawned pleasant day in
Council; just enough thin clouds to
keep 1t from getting too warm.
Council was about to celebrate.
Fourteen years ago Council held
her first celebration and the old timers
saw many points of difference in the
present gathering and the one of the
past. This year kind hearted ma
irons, fair girls and happy children
predominated, while fourteen years
ago, at the first celebration, there were
only four women in the valley. and
although the first gathering was just
as large it was composed of men al
most entirely. They had sent down
and secured four sheep which they
roasted whole, and the delights Of
that first celebration is still green in
the memory of the pioneers, as George
Winkler vouched for to us. The four
ladies present on that occasion were
Mrs. Winkler, Mrs. Moser, Mrs. Kes
Ter and Mrs Robt White. Mrs. Wink
Ter has since passed TO the great
beyond, Mrs. White is now in Seven
Devils, Mrs. Moser is still in the val
ley, as well as Mrs Kessler who was
present last Monday.
Early in the morning people began
to gather,a number who had attended
the Salubria celebration coming up
The place of meeting for the two
ends Of the valley was in front of
John Gherken's house Here they
gathered, the members of the Sunday
school in the upper end of the valley
wearing blue sashes, while those OF
the lower end wore red sashes. When
all had gathered at the rendezvous,
Marshals of the Day Palmer Higgins
aud Abe Hinke organized the process
sion, which was long one.
A handsome Liberty car had been
prepared and draped with flags and
bunting. Miss Mary Morrison repre-
sented the Goddess of Liberty anC
WAS handed to the throne by Marsha
Higgins. Idaho was represented by
Miss Ova Biggerstaff. The thirtecI

the following pretty young ladies

The Monarch Celebration.

Last Monday, bright and early, the
Neihart b. b. club was all aboard con-
yeyances and wheeling off toward Mon
arch. The day opened fine and bright
for a big celebrate, in which respect it
presented a remarkable contrast to the
previous Saturday, when Neihart tried
to look her best. The Monarch base
ball boys were waiting, expectant, until
the sides lined up, when they lost heart,
and their breakfasts rose in their necks.
Of course they realized the inevitable,
for they have often had it before, and
knew what they would get. Tho they
had a battery from Belt, the Snow-heav-
ers were too strong for them, and Mel
hart could not get ordinary amusement
out of the game. The Clod-hoppers'
fielding was bum. AT the end of the 9th
inning the score stood 35 to 5 in favor
of Neihart. AS this is the fourth time
Neihart has had to defeat Monarch, the
v%ictors, before leaving the field, erected
an imposing cross of slabs, upon which
was inscribed:

An Artistic Fireplace.

A fireplace invites coy lounging
with book or magazine and agreea-
BILE conversation that has an accom-
paniment of cracking flames. An
artistic fireplace carries with it an
air of coziness and comfort beyond
the power of words to express. 1t
is set in the back of a recess, out of
the room, and has on either side IN
oak seat, with cushion. The whole
back of the recess is brickwork, ex-
tending up to the ceiling. The
brickwork drops back a few course
above the top of the fireplace, form
ing a mantel or shelf, on which may
be disposed handsome bits of china
as a decoration.
The bricks used may be the red
pressed bricks sold everywhere or
some of the handsome bricks that
are now made in soft %colors, such as
gray, yellow, brown and cream.
Bricks of the same color, but vary
ing in tone, some being a deeper
shade than others, may be used
with excellent results.

A Bad Egg.

Elias Hughes of Missouri who has
visited his son at Neihart for the past
two months, was very quietly placed
under arrest last Saturday and taken to
Great Falls, where officers from the
puke state were awaiting him. The
charge preferred against the old man is
that of incest, the victim and complain
ant being lone other than his 10 year
old daughter who swears that he is the
father of her unborn child. Some think
the whole story is manufactured by en-
emies, growing out of a family disa-
greement, and that there is another
woman in the case. Certain it is if the
girls story is true the case is made
doubly noticeable by the old mans age
and past associations. He is nearly 70
years old, has been a baptist preacher,
and always enjoyed a high standing in
the church. He is a fluent speaker, a
political leader, and has been honored
by his party with almost every honor
within its gift in his county. We sin.
cerely hope the story told against him
is not true.

Houses In London and Berlin.

/ live at Berlin in a house where
there are eight families, each Of
course inhabiting a separate part.
Only the inevitable piano practices
break through the barriers, and
that is certainly not less the case
here where the walls are so thin
than with us in our more m~assively
built houses. The only real differ
ence consists in this-that the "cas-
ties of the Englishmen are built
up close to one another, while ours
are above one another, and that in
consequence thereof we have our
rooms all on one floor while theirs
occupy several floors. One can safe
ly assert that by far the larger num-
Der of the houses in London have
frontages of only two or at most
three windows in width. They live
on the middle floor, take their meals
on the ground floor and sleep on the
upper floor. AS a consequence there
is a total absence of reception rooms.
