The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1898-11-22

Blaine county elected nearly
the entire Populist ticket.
Born:-To the wife of Adam
Hellman, of Custer, one day last
week, son.
The Independents of Custer
county elected their entire ticket
except Osborn, by eleven votes.
We were of the opinion that
the election was over, but from
the amount of kicking" that can
be heard in Challis even at this
late date, one would think that
we were right in the heat of the
campaign. But we guess the
defeated will survive the shock
others have been defeated.
A public meeting will be held
in Challis tonight at s o'clock,
for the purpose of making ar
rangements for a public Christ
mas tree. 1t is the voice of
many that this tree should be
under the direct management of
the Challis public school. Let
all our citizens attend the meet
ing tonight and make the affair
a grand success as possible.
From letter received at this
Office one day last week from

state that she has almost regain
ed her health, and will soon re-

Father, dear father, come
home with me now. Our Jim is
sixteen and is out with his girl,
and sister is out with her spark,
and Kate, the house-maid, is of
to dance-the house is so lone
ly and dark. Father, dear faith
er, come home with me now, for
mother is mostly away; she said
as she started this morning she
knew she was out for terrible
day. She had forty three calls
and some voting to do and a few
other places to go; her lat is a
beauty, her gloves are so sweet,
and her dress is a poem, you
know. So father, dear father,
come home with me now.
