i Silver, SGT; Lead, 1875.
Typhoid fever is reported at
Gibbonsville.
A ball will be given at the /.
O. o. +. hall, in Challis, ON the
night of Thursday, Nov. 25th-
Thanksgiving night.
A very enjoyable reception
was rendered Mr.. and Mrs. J. B.
Cutter, at tagir home in Challis,
by number of our citizens last
Saturday evening.
The New Time for November
is an excellent issue. It is pub
lished at Chicago, Ill, at the
small price OF 81 per year.
Two or three mining experts
were in Challis last Saturday and
Sunday, from Butte, Montana.
They are enroute to Custer for
the purpose of examining some
mining properties in that camp.
The dwelling house belonging
to the B. FL. & G. Stage Co., in
Challis, took fire from the stove
pipe last Sunday morning at 8
o'clock. The flames were soon
extinguished, and the damage is
slight, except JAS. Marker, the
driver on this line, lost a great
portion of his clothing.
The following receipt has been
given for making scandal Take
one grain of falsehood, a hand
full of runabout, six sprigs of
backbite, one yard of timber
tongue, few drops of envy, a
little discomfort, and some lazi-
ness and jealousy and strain it
through a bag of misconstruc-
ton, cork it in the meddlesome
bottle, hang it on a skein of
street yarn and shake well before
taking.
The National Bimetallist turns
the tables on the gold press in
this manner: THE latest issue
of Bradstreet" notes a sharp de-
cline of business in the South,
and ascribes it to yellow fever.
Just so. When famine abroad
creates demand for our bread
stuffs, thus stimulating business,
the improvement is at once
placed to the credit of the Nc
Kinley administration. When
pestilence checks the business
in the South. the blame is laid at
the door of God. That is about
the average goldbug's idea of
fairness.
The recent election through
out the United States shows in
plain words that the silver ques-
ton is not dead. @. M. Depew,
the great goldite speaks in the
following manner THE elec-
ton issue in New York has no
National significance, but, with
an alarming falling off of the Re-
publican vote in the State, with
heavy losses in New Jersey,
Ohio and other States, the Re
publican party is confronted with
the incontrovertible truth that
Bryan and bimetallism are not
dead. 1t warns them that they
must take steps at once, and en-
phatically. to settle this current
question beyond any hope of re-
opening it."
We are informed that the 1898
almanac of Prof. Irl r. Hicks is
now ready, and Judging from it's
past history, it win not be many
weeks in finding its way into
homes and offices all over Ameri-
ca. 1t is much larger and finer
than any previous issue. 1t con-
tains 116 pages, is splendidly
printed and illustrated on fine
book paper, having the finest
portrait ever given of Prof. Hicks.
1t can no longer be denied that
the publication of Prof. Hicks
have become a necessity to the
family and commercial life of
this country. His journal. Word
and Works, aside from its storm,
weather and astronomical featur-
es, has taken rank with the best
literary, scientific and family
magazines of the age. Do not
believe hearsay and reports.
See the Hicks Almanac and
paper for yourself. You will
then know why they are so
popular. They are educators of
the millions, and unrivaled safe
guards to property and human
life. 1t is matter of simple rec
ord that Prof. Hicks has foretold
for many years all great storms.
