Yesterday morning the case Of Thomas
coleman, charged with breaking into
the barber shop OF a colored man in Park
View, was up before Mayor Baird for
examination. The evidence showed that
coleman sold clock that was stolen
from this shop, and that he had a pair
or shoes which the owner Of the shop
identified as his. coleman admitted
having the shoes and selling the clock,
put said that they were given to him
by n strange man whose name he did not
know. He was sent on to the Hastings
Court and was indicted yesterday for
housebreakng. II is more than probable
that he will follow his brother.

The following was sent by an admirer
OF The Virglnian to be read at the Kar-
nival Of Kommerce:
The clouds Of morn were breaking
AS through the streets in haste there
passed
A youth, who bore mid snow and ice
Papers with this plain device
The Vrginian!
He tarried not, for he'd learned be-
fore,
That you were waiting at your door.
TO get the news and all galore.
AS you had often done before, in
The Virginian!
He'd brought you the news from Cuba 5
shore,
And told Of Turkey and Greece before,
OF our United States and her beautiful
shore
And brought the paper to your door
The Virginian!
1t always keeps abreast the times,
With foreign news from every cline;
It only costs for week, dime,
And all its ncighbors 1t out-shines-
The Virginlan!
The Virginan thanks you for favors
past,
For sure on it no reflection you'll cast:
And just IS long as life shall last,
To please you 1t will do It's best
The Virginian!

UNITED IN MATRIMONY.

Married, in Custer, Idaho, at
the home of the bride, on Wedn-
esday, Sept. 1st, 1897, by Rev.
G. E. Mason, Challis, Leroy
Hillman. of Bayhorse, and Miss
Annie M. Centaurus, of Custer.
A very bountiful repast was
served. 1t was a family we'd
ding, there being but a few
guests invited.
Mr.. Hillman took his bride to
the Skylark mine where they are
to keep house. He has been
foreman of the Skylark for
several years. Mrs. Hillman is
pleasing young lady.
The MESSENGER extends con-
gratulations and best wishes, and
will take cigar with ''Dick" on
his good fortune in securing so
estimable young lady for a life
partner.

BIARDSLEY SPRINGS.

Fresh from these exhilerating
waters l come to my labors with
renewed pleasure; and would
like to see all people in our
country look more to the cura-
tive and preservative power of
these springs and less to medi-
cines than is done. There is no
doubt but that money spent here
is far more profitable and pleas
antly spent than by exhausting
their means over drugs and
physic. Often is it the case that
when medicines fail these springs
have proved a sovereign remedy;
but rarely is it the reverse. One
difficulty, however, in both cases
is, that one dose of medicine or
one bath or one drink of these
waters is expected to cure-this
is mistake.

ompany's mines, having visited

company's mines, having visited
them on a former occasion.
Their mill is run by a fifty horse
power engine, and is a roller
crush. They are reducing on
the cynide plan and claim to save
90 per cent. of battery sample.
They have stamps but do not
use them. Compoun Blake
crusher; double set of Cornish
rolls, screens, re-crushing of
course, reduction by chemicals
in vats run zinc shavings is the
manner of reduction in this mill.
The mill was not running, but
the superintendent very kindly
showed US the mill and explained
all the manner of their system
of reduction.
We met many an old friend
and formed a number of new ac-
quaintances, and left Yellow
Jacket quite hopeful as to tae
future. Trade was dull, but you
will remember they have had no
pay days since last November.
They will have a pay day on the
18th, and times will be better.
The stage leaves for Challis
at 4 o'clock in the morning and
takes breakfast at Forney, or
you might more appropriately
say at ED. Treloar' S"
Mr.. Treloar has located him
self on Panther creek, at the
junction of the Yellow Jacket,
Salmon and Challis roads; has a
postofice, which is becoming
quite a distributing Office, and
has got so many buildings for
the convenience and comfort Of
his patrons, that it looks like
town; and we believe he has a
notion of making a town of it.
Many fine point or town of
business has less backing at the
start, and we wish Ed. ever so
much success at Forney. He
kindly offered to take US up to
the Silver creek company's plant,
but could not stop and meet
other requirements, and will visit
that place at another time when
they have had time to make more
showing; although all advised US
that it looked very Klondyky.
We judge from this-all is right,
there. we know everything is
right at Forney with Ed. All
camps come there.

VIA. THE OGDEN GATEWAY.

The traveller, tourist or busi-
ness man is wise when he selects
the Rio Grande Western Rail
way "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route to the East. 1t is
the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt
Lake City, and in addition to the
glimpse it affords of the Temple
City. the Great Salt Lake and
picturesque Salt Lake and Utah
Valley, it offers the choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnifi-
cent scenery in the world.
On all tickets stop-overs are
granted at Ogden, Salt Lake,
Glenwood Springs, Leadville,
Denver, and other points of inter
est. Double daily train service

Before the board of equaliza-
tion adjourned a resolution was
was adopted declaring it to be
the sense of the board that the
auditor should proceed at once to
collect all delinquencies from the
various counties. One of the de-
linquencies is that of Custer
county for 1896 taxes. The
county owes something more
than $4,000. The county treas
urer sent a check on the Bunting
bank just before the failure of
that institution. The check was
not paid, but Custer authorities
deny that they are indebted to
the state. 1t has been decided
to bring suit against the county.

There were hopes-but they are blasted
There were castles, but they fell;
There were joys-they only lasted
TIL learned { love them well;
There were shrines, where oft I faltered-
Hopes and pleasures there amassed,-
And see them. sadly altered,
In the vista OF the past.
There we're idols-they have crumbled
Like the castles in the air
Down that lane, through which stumbled,
There is nothing but despair;
There are scenes-fanni lar PAGES
ALI by sorrow overcast,
There are MANY different faces
In the vista Of the past.
There's cup, but it is broken,
Long ago 1 drank the gall
There's the shadow OF a token
OF some hour would recall;
There's labyrinth, confusing,
Where 1 once was fettered fast
Weird, ghostly, yet amusing
Is the vista of the past.
