School Notes.

lSrz A'rHETrRs AND SADIE n COY, EDITORS
School news is very light this
week, fact which is due doubtless
to the late election. We were prom
ised treat Friday P. NJ, but it was
called off. Why?
Some sturdy youths rebelled at
the idea of school on election day,
but they will, doubtless, rejoice TO
have an extra day added to their
Thanksgiving vacation.
The turkeys which graced the No
vember calendars are noticeable for
their ultramarine blue legs aad feet.

This is the fourth week of school
and examinations have been the
'horns in the flesh. The returns

I am very pleased to state that
since I took the agency of Chamber
lain's medicines the sale has been
very large, more especially of the
Cough Remedy. In two years |
have cold more of this particular
remedy than Of all other makes for
the previous five years. As to its
efficacy, l have been informed By
scores of persons of the good results
they have received from it, and
know it's value from the use Of it in
my own household. It is so pleas
ant to take that we have to place
the bottle beyond the reach of the

ELECTION DAY.
The Most Perfect Order Was
Observed at the Polls.
The Women Out In Full Force---The
Presence Had Good Effect.

The election passed off quietly
and n marked degree of order was
observed both at the polls and
throughout the town. The saloons
were all closed and the absence Of
little brown jugs in sequestered
corners was noticeable. In conse-
quence no drunken men staggered
about the polls. The ideal state Of
affairs upon that occasion is attrib-
utable no doubt to the presence and
participation of the fair women Of
Ketchum, who manifested the live
liest interest in the days contest.
There were only few who did not
come out to cast their ballot, and
it is generally conceded that those
who did voted for the man and not
the party. In other words, women
sustained their reputation of being
"scratchers.'
It was the first time that the
women of Idaho exercised their
right of franchise-they cast their
first ballot on a county and state
election, and the men are bound to
admit, from their own personal OBJ
servation, that they used as much
tact as veteran voters and that they
are born politicians.
The election was held in Adams
Hall, and there was nothing in the
surroundings of the polls that was
calculated to shock the ultra-re6ned
woman-it was no more of a trying
ordeal than for her to walk into the
postoffice and deposit letter.
The election officers were: Dis
tributing clerk, Geo. P. Hobson /;
clerks, Geo. E. Mills and Howard
Lemon; judges, G. McPheters and
S. B. Heating.

swHrwArER BROKE.
0useis lament Said t0 Have Throws on %
the Rapid william OF the Klnndika.


The meteoric saltwater Bill
who has filled q large space in the
annals Of the Klondike, is once more
figuring in the public prints. The
latest reports about Saltwater is
that the quandam Klondike mill
ionaire is now ut Skagway broke.
According to dispatches from Port
Townsend, he came up the river
from Dawson on the steamer Irving.
Report has it that when Saltwater
left Dawson he had his sole earthly
etore, 5000 in nuggets, but before
arriving at the lakes he lost this
amount in a poker game on the
boat. He still retains interest in one
or two claims on Dominion creek,
on which he borrowed 5000 from
Que of the owners of the steamer
Irwin. This slipped thrcngh his
fingers, and he arrived at Skagway
with only few dollars and q silk
hat.
The alleged cause of Swiftwater's
departure from Dawson was his love
for Gussie Lahore. his sister-in-law.
and for whom, it is said, he desert
ed his wife and returned to Daw-
son. Shortly after her arrival in
Dawson, Gussie tired of William,
took to the variety stage, where she
made great bit and considerable
money. playing a burleeque on
saltwater Bills love affair With
her sister.
Having accumulated small for
tune, Gussie started for civilization
and saltwater boarded the same
boat, thinking that he could again
win the fair Gussie's affections upon
their return to more congenlal
climate. All overtures on the way
to Skagway for a reconciliation
proved fruitless. In a fit of des-
peralion saltwater began drink
ing and gambling with the results
above stated.
Gussie arrived at Port Townsend
on the Farallon, while saltwater
Bill remained in Skagway, and when
the Farallon left he was making love
| to variety actress in that place.
