For the IgnominiOus Rout of the
Grecian Army at
Matt.
THINGS ARE QUIET IN THESSALY
The Latest News From the Eastern Battle
fields Where the Turks Are
Triumphant.

New York, May 5.-A dispatch to
the Journal from Valestino says: "In
an interview with General Smolenski,
the hero of the Greek people, he ex-
pressed his indignation over the rout
of his countrymen at Matt. How did
all this come about?' he asked. 1T
was panic without a reason, a re :
treat without an excuse. Those troops
at Matt must not be reproached with
cowardice.. They were the same as
those with whom we fought at Raveni
for five days against tremendous odds
and still made headway. Believe me
it was blundering on the part of the
staff and nothing else that drove them
into panic.'"
A dispatch to the World from Volo
says: "The Turkish squadron refuses
to leave the Dardanelles to meet the
Greek fleet. Prince George has gone
with fleet of torpedo boats to block
axe Salonlca and intercept the Turk
isk reinforcements from Smyrna. The
Turks were routed in an engagement
near Nlcela."
WANT vASsOs.
Athens, May 5.-The government of
Greece is in negotiation with the ad-
mlrals in command of the fleet of for
eIgn powers IN Cretan waters for per-
mission to send a Greek warship 10 the
island to bring off Colonel Vassos and
the other Greek officers who have been
recalled.
Crown Prince Constantine tele-
graphs that two Turkish regiments are
marching on Karditza and that the
Greek commander there has asked for
reInfOrcements.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-11-02

The small boy tackles tobacco first
In solitude back of the barn,
Until his head is ready to burst,
His brain like a ball of yarn;
His stomach rolls and his eyes are red,
But spite Of his woe and pain.
He's pretty certain, II not quite dead,
To try It over again.
A man will tackle John Barleycorn
In every possible way.
His head may feel when he wakes at morn
AS big as load OF hay;
His nerves may shake and his eyes lose sight,
And fog surround his brain.
THE hair Of a dog will cure its bite,"
He says-and tries IL again.
A girl will fasteu her corset string
To the door knob, and then brace
And pull till she gets the proper thing,
In a form OF slender grace"
Her ribs may lap and her spine may snap,
And she may faint from the pain,
But just as sure as she lives 1t through,
That girl win try 1t again.
But II saving wood made that boy sick
He'd never try IL again;
II churches filled mems hats with brick,
They'd never go there again:
II fashion said girl was a goose
To lace, she wouldn't again.
There's a moral somewhere around here loose
Perhaps you'll find II again.

A Frenehman likes his native wines,
A German likes his beer,
An Irishman likes his whiskey straight,
Because it gives him cheer.
An Englishman likes his 'alf aud 'alf,
Because it gives him dizziness,
An American has no choice at all
He drinks the whole blamed business.

Bonanza, Oct. Goth, 1897, after a
short illness. He was we'll along
in years. The deceased was an
old-timer in Custer county. He
had his faults, but regardless of
this, he was an open. hearted,
kind and respectable citizen.
Peace be to his memory
"A letter from o. E. Penwell,
dated at Dyea, Alaska, Oct. End,
1897, to j. G. Fox, of Challis, re-
ceived Oct. %, says Il am
located Is miles above Dyea, on

There is no ice on the lakes yet,
but some snow"
Mike Carey died very sud
denly in his cabin at Custer on
the night of Oct. 21st. He went
to bed in apparently good health
and when his friends who we're
in the cabin with him found him
dead. 1t is said he passed away
without struggle. The deceas-
ed was about 80 years of age, and
was an old time miner in Custer
county.

of hemorrhage of the lungs. He
was about 20 years of age. The
deceased has resided in Challis
and Clayton since small boy,
and was an Industrious and
model young man. This is a sad
blow for one so young to be
called away; but we know not
when the Reaper of Death may
tcall us. The funeral services
were held Friday afternoon, the
29th, in Clayton, and were large
I ly attended by relatives and
friends of the deceased,

The report OF the Rebekah
State Assembly showed memb-
ership June 80, 1897, of 1,422.
Two new lodges were instituted,
and there has been a net gain of
121 members during the year.
The condition of the different
branches of the Order is good.
A large amount of important
business was transacted at this,
the 18th session of the Grand
Lodge. We have space to men
tion only few items, and can
only give brief account of our
observations.
On Wednesday afternoon we
all took a trip out to the Odd
Fellows Home, which is located
about one mile from the town.
1t is beautifully situated, and
we'll constructed Of yellow sand
stone. 1t is a large two-story
building, and is a great credit to
the Order. and will soon be com
pleted to receive the homeless
and helpless members. It has a
farm of about 80 acres in con-
nection, a portion of which is
under cultivation, and this year
has produced quite an amount of
produce.
Wednesday night we all were
banqueted in grand style by the
citizens of Idaho Falls. 1t was
truly a grand banquet, and we
were informed that 300 people
were seated at the tables in
Armory Hall where it was held.
The guests were escorted to the
hall by the Idaho Falls Cornet
Band. The tables were loaded
with choice viands, and the dec
orations were superb, besides
we were waited upon by twenty
four handsome young ladies of
Idaho Falls. After all had their
supply of choice eatables. very
entertaining program was rend-
cred. Toasts were responded to
by E. A. Gibson of the Idaho Odd
Fello1o; Kay L. Thompson of the
Triple Link; D. L. Bailey; w. A.
Coughonour; H. w. Dunton, and
A. K. Steunenberg. Mr.. Steun-
enberg responded to the toast
1.-The Male Rebekah," which
caused much enjoyment. Mrs.
Dunton read a beautiful poem
also did Mrs. Otto, of Murray.
Splendid instrumental and vocal
selections were rendered. Take
it all in all, this was said to be
the best banquet ever held in
the State. After the banquet a
grand ball was given down town
in honor of the Grand Lodge.
We met representatives from
all parts of the State, and to say
that a splendid time was enjoyed
only half expresses it. The
triple link boys and girls" will
always remember the kind treat
ment received and fellowship
shown at Idaho Falls, and a
great amount of credit is due Mr..
F. H. Turner, as well as others
of that place, for perfecting ar
rangements in such a pleasant
manner that all went away with
the kind remembrance of the
Home city.
The next session will be held
at Wallace, but they will have to
do their best to outdo Idaho Falls.
