ALLEY AND owINN NOMINATED

GWinn Declines To Run Cooper Will
Not Battle For The TreaSurship-
CAldWell's Municipal Campaign The
Women Take a Hand-MrS. Harmon
For COuncilWOman.
Caldwell's annual municipal cam.
paign is fairly launched and the cohorts
of good government are all in the field.
Last Friday evening, pursuant to call, a
mass convention was held in the
Christian church, the city hall proving
inadequate to the rush. and complete
"Citizens Ticket" was put in the field.
Mr.. George l.. Alley was nominated
Mayor over Hon. J. q. Rice. w. S. Bad
ley, by reclamation, was chosen candi
date for Treasurer; Clerk, G. A. Cakes
was popular, and Ed. Hedden carried
off the City Engineers tOga, (French
for honors). The Hon. G. w. Cooper
presided at the convention and Miss
May Jarvis was elected secretary.
Before the general convention dis
persed in order that meeting to select
eouncilmen could be held in the various
wards, a resolution was passed unan-
imously endorsing the nominees of the
convention. At the ward meetings the
following persons were named for city
counsellOrs: First ward, b. F. Hart
kopf and Mrs. Hanna Harmon; second
Isaac Roberts; third e. Z. Maxey. A
notable feature of the convention was
the large number of women present.
and the result was very orderly and
well behaved body. A number of wo-
men were named for various offices
but either declined or went down to de-
feat manfully. After the adjournment
of the convention in the Christian
church, another convention was held in
the vacant Peffiy building, at which the
following nominations were made:
For Mayor, Hon M. b. Gwinn; for
Treasurer, Hon G. w, Cooper, for
Clerk, G. A. Cakes; for Engineer E.
IIedden. The concilmen selected were,
First Ward b. f. IIartkopf and G. D.
Pickard; Second A. L. Butts; Third, s.
b. Dement,. 1t is understood that both
Gwinn and Cooper positively decline to
run. AS far as known there are no
platform declarations and consequent
ly no recognized issues. In general
way bicycles, Sunday saloon closing
and bawdy houses are mixed up in the
event.

FIGHT WITH 4 COUGAR.

Charlie Bannister and Jake Woods
had thrilling experience with cougar
rev days ago which they are both
liable to remember for many a day.
Frank Bannister had gone to camp IN
advance of the other to prepare dinner
ana when noon arrived Charlie and
Jake started toward camp, Jake
walking few steps in advance of his
companion. Without a thought of
danger the men trudged along towards
their dinner when all of a sudden a
big cougar landed square on Jake's
shoulders. Quick as a flash, Charlie
seized a boulder and hurting it at the
beast broke its shoulder and knocked
it to the ground. The lion then turned
and sprang at Charlie but this time
Jake took turn at target practice and
landed a rock square on the brute's
head, fracturing its skull. The lion
was game to the last, however, and
even after being thus disabled, put up
pretty good fight until ho was finally
dubbed and stoned to eath.-Emmet

OPAL NINE SOLD.

We understand the Opal mines, for
merly worked by Anchor, Shirly & Go.
in this county have been sold to a com
pany from Philadelphia. We are glad
to learn this. First, because we be-
lieve there are as good opals in this
county as can be found anywhere and
it would be pity to have such promis-
ing prospects lay idle. Second, because
the parties who sell are the kind of
men who most likely will invest their
money in other mining prospects and
do their best to develop them.-De.

Thursday Evening Who Shared the
Hospitality Of the Junction City.

hospitality OF tue Junction City.
The reception rendered the good
people of Caldwell by Nampa folks last
Thursday evening was grand success,
ana Will be long remembered. Although
we had only a short time in which to
make ready for the visitors who had
accepted an invitation to come and
spend an evening with us, everything
was nicely planned, and at s O'Clock
about fifty of our homepeople met at
Cottingham & Griffith hall, which had
been nicely decorated for the occasion.
The special train from Caldwell brought
about fifty people, who arrived here at
$3.50, and were met at the depot and
escorted to the hall. Small tables were
conveniently arranged about the hall,
and after the hand. shaking and kindly
greeting were extended, partners were
chosen and couple of hours was spent
in playing progressive high five and
in pleasant conversation. Van Shocks
orchestra of Boise, composed of Messrs.
Van Shoick, Hess and Miss George,
were in attendance, and although the
players became deeply interested in
their games, it was evident that all
were enjoying the sweet strains of
