Miss Mollart went over to
Challis Wednesday to attend the
teachers examination.
Mrs. Norman and son, and
Mrs. Decide and child departed
for Salt Lake Wednesday.
Custer has one of the worst
gang of toughs of any town in
the county. The climax of their
dirty work (which has been going
on for some time). occurred last
Tuesday evening at about 10
o'clock, when they shot at Mrs.
Norman. Mrs. Norman was in
her bedroom at the time the shot
was fired, and it is said if she
had been in bed the shot would
have struck her.
Last Friday fire broke out on
Custer mountain near the Fourth
of July mill. 1T was feared for a
time that the Black mill and
Lucky Boy hoisting works would
go. The Lucky Boy mill and
mine were closed and the men
turned out to fight fire. All the
available men that could be got
ten were sent up. The force was
divided into two crews-one for
the day and one for the night.
The fire is not entirely out at
present but all danger is past.
The loss was not very great con-
sidering the extent of the country
spread over. There were sever
al cabins burned and about 500
cords of wood. The greatest loss
fell on two wood-choppers who
lostt 144 cords of wood. There
is a large timber fire raging on
West Fork now. w.

Some spanish Wants.

1.-THE following was handed US for publication
Wanted-the deadliest navy
That ever the ocean sailed.
Some men like Schley and Dewey,
Who've tried and never failed,
We'd like for every vessel
To displace a million tons
Wearing armor ten feet thick,
Carrying thousand guns.
Please send q hundred Hobsons,
A sampson, Lieutenant Blue
In fact, we'd be delighted
With the whole American crew.
Can you nas1e some obscure harbor
Where the Cadiz fleet might Eide,
And never be found by Watson.
No matter how hard ne tried
Wanted-a little poison
To make old Shafter sleep.
For the things he has done 10 us OF late
Make Spanish angels weep.
Wed be pleased to get some spirits
TO make spanish soldiers stand.
And the Chinese wall around Cuba's isle,
So Yankee troops can't land.
Do you know of pstent medicine,
Some cure for all our ills
To relieve the unpleasant taste we have
When taking Nesuvius pills
And we need an "artful dodger
Who knows what hes about:
Not one of the kind who dodgeS in,
Then finds he can't dodge out.
Wanted-a few Munchausens,
Who don't think lying a sin.
For We have lied ourselves hoarse,
About victories we didn't win.
We'd like to win one battle,
Either on land or sea;
And II we could sink a canal boat,
What pleasure to us 'twould be
o, give us some splendid method
Our sunken fleets to raise
And cheer us for one brief moment
With visions OF other days
Do send US some ravens to feed us,
AS they did Elijah of old
Or protecting saint from far-on land
To bring US into his fold.
II you can supply us with any
OF the wants we've listed above,
You'll win our undying Affection
You know how we Spanish can love.
But. most of all, we're wishing
The Yankees would forget the Maine,
For il they don't it's certain
There'll be no such place as Spain.

And so DON'T have to drill.

sneaked here TO write
The letter began last week
And want to mail o-night.

Could have letter all her own
How tickled she would be.

The little things she sent,
And say love her as of old
Well. know what he meant.

And clothes bag every day.
And every night try, at least,
To learn a verse OF two
In that new bible she has marked
For me, her boy in blue.
Writing home to mother
Tell her all mishaps,
All the funny incidents
From ''get up" call to taps
And what we eat, and how we sleep,
And when we march, and where;
AS she proceeds hear her voice
We'll, now, 1 do declare :"
Writing home to mother
Why, can see her pore
And pore, and peer between the lines
In search for something more.
And father II read the latest word
Received by him-and then
Dear mother II put her glasses on
To scan this once again.

want the earth. All they ask
for is Willis Sweet for Governor

Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth $3.50, to anyone who may
have used as much as one box of their
tablets without decided benefit. We
have never heard of a single case where
the tablets have failed TO give satisfactory
results, and if there is a person to be
found who has used them without bene-
fit we want to know who he is and where
to find him. They never fail to cure
kidney and bladder troubles and affec-
tons of the genital organs and overcome
all debility and weakness in both men
and women. They improve the appetite,
aid digestion and Stimulation and over
come constipation. They have vital eff
feet on all of The secretory organs and es-
tablish a healthy condition of the mu-
cous and gland seCretions in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi-
lions of the capillaries and secure per-
feet circulation of the blood, so that ev-
cry organ is supplied and every function
is normal and healthy. Being the only
remedy ever compounded that fully
meets the logical physiological conditions
of the human system, it is no wonder
that they give results unknown to medi-
cal science. No matter if the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are

tactics cannot anOw, because tine law Of
the greater number, decisive IN all seri-
Gus fights, is in Cuba generally illpo-
tent IN the pursuit Of rebels. 1t is inQis-
pensable at first to get acclimated, to
adapt oneself to the surrounding condi-
tions, to possess a colonial army consti-
tuted on the basis and the model of
those heroic Cuban volunteers and the
Philippine militias, which were SO use
full recently in sustaining our tropical
wars, where new soldiers are marching
like sheep or running like shadows.
There is no doubt that our Cuban war,
which must and will end in the victory
Of the peninsula over it's ungrateful COL
onists, would have avoided numerous
evils and had less acute phase if in
stead of transporting from the old world
into the new an agglomeration of SOL
diers such as history has never before
chronicled we had confined ourselves to
guarding our villages and opposing with
intrenchments and other defensive
works an impossible barrier to the reb-
els who were tempted to pass from the
sterile regions Of the eastern part of the
island to the more fertile ones of the
western part.
