The famous niger show gave
another exhibition of their won
derful talent (?) in Challis last
Tuesday night. They played to
a number of vacant chairs, how
ever, and gave us about the same
program as before-old stale,
time-worn, musty, rotten, vulgar
gags, that were ancient when
Noah's Ark was built. They APP
pear to have a monopoly on Gus
ter county, and we look for the
dusky sons of Africa to make
this their headquarters, for they
know better than to get into but
small isolated towns-they know
their range or sphere and will
feed upon it as long as there is
any substance left.
They gave US several, (what
seemed to their thick skulls and
deluded brains), humorous 'jabs,
but we must consider from what
source it came, and coming as ii
does from a low race of people
that is but a grade higher than
the brute kingdom, we must ex-
cuse their ignorance.

''Mr. ]. b. Short. of Singiser. with whom 1
have had some correspondence. has stated that
he thinks he saw announced in the Challis
MESSENGER, OF your town, the arrival of my
brother, G. B. Short, last fall or winter, and
write 10 ask IL you know anything at all about
I'VE have been trying to trace him for the
past year, but have not yet succeeded in locat-
ing him. he is q young man now about p years
old, 6ft. tall and slender, dark brown hair and
light eyes, most likely smoothe face or small
mustache. His family has not heard from him
directly for over two years, and he has sisters
who are greatly worried about him. especially
In view of the information we have received
from the postmaster ut Clayton, Idaho, to the
effect that while in that vicinity, about two
years ago. he did not seem right, mentally, at
times. We do not believe this to be the case
as he is well educated and always was very
bright. He is, however. rather prc-occupied
and reticent in his manner. and this disposition
may have misled the party who gave the post
master the Information.
while In the vicinity of Clayton he for a
time at least assumed the name of G. b. Jenk-
rims. Whether he still retains the name 1 dc
not know. Any Information that you may give
us will be very much appreciated. If you have
no knowledge OF the party will yon kindly hand
this letter to the Challis MESSENGER.

ONE HAPPY SONG.

The world is full of sorrow;
Oh, bring one happy song,
To make glad TO morrow
For those whose nights are long;
Each heart has wells of sadness.
Whence bitter tear-drops flow,
They need fresh springs OF gladness,
Without one drop of woe;
The friendly voice is clearest
That speaks in cheerful tone,
And sweetest lips and dearest
Are those that make no moan.

NEW YORK'S UNLIMITED GUEST.

There is a singular old man in New
York who makes it a rule to attend pub
lie %banquets without being invited. He
has done it so long that he is now pretty
we'll known by the head walters at Del
monico's, the Waldorf and other places
where big dinners are usually given,
and it taxes his ingenuity to evade them.
He is a fine-looking nan perhaps 60
years old with full gray, beard trimmed
close to his face, and a pinkish bald
head. He wears eyeglasses, has a we'll
fitting dress suit and pleasant tanners
so that he easily slips into a party of gen.
tlemen and makes himself agreeable to
Whomever comes up against him.
At gatherings where there are from 200
to 500 guests there are always several
vacant seats. People who expect to come
are detained at the last moment, and the
intruder has taken advantage of hat
fact with the skill of experience. He US
ually waits until the guests are seated
and then, when the walters have gone
out for soup, he slips into the nearest va
cant chair and inquiries of his neighbors
if the person to whom it is assigned is
present. If so he excuses himself, n
tries another, and if not he explains that
he has given his own place to a friend,
and will occupy that if there is no objec-
ton. At a recent dinner he had the au-
dacity to take the place assigned at the
president taDle TO a gen.
tleman who did not come, and was mis-
taken for him by SO many people that the
banquet committee made an inquiry and
found he had no business there. The pub
lie dinners of New York. as in other cit
les, are all managed by a few men of eX-
perience in that line, who frequently
meet each other and exchange gossip. In
that way the intruder has become so well
advertised that he cannot now enjoy his
dinner in comfort as formerly. Curious
ly enough, no one knows who he is. 1t is
the popular opinion that he occupies some
humble place in life and has an irresisti-
BILE desire to attend public banquets and
associate with men above his station.

An interesting meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held last night, with Mayor
Lesser, Aldermen Collins, Dalton, David
son, Devine, Fitzpatrick, Gangner, Ham
i'll, Stephens, Mcguire and Pozega pres
ent.
The event of the evenig was the reslg-
nation of Alderman Davidson as chair
man of the finance committee. Some
time ago r. Martin broke a horse for the
fire department, for which he sent in a
bill for $40 to the council. There was
something said about Martin agreeing to
do the work for s.. The argument waXed
warmer until Alderman Davidson re-
signed after a tilt with the mayor
There were no objections or protests
against the tax levy Of $14 upon each 20
foot lot in improvement districts Nos. Z,
8, 9, 10, II and IL, to defray the expense
of the construction of lateral sewers.
City Attorney O'Leary rendered a de-
cision that the council could not legally
remit the taxes on the Margaret theater,
holding that the theater is an institution
for profit and not properly a public insti-
tuition.
A majority m also a minority report
vas brought in, the former recommend
ing and the latter rejecting the PROPOSE
ton of Attorney w. b. Rogers to settle
the damage cases of w. B. May and
George A. Shocks.
A vote on adopting the minority report
resulted as follows:
Aye-Davidson, Fitzpatrick, Gangner
and Stephens-4.
Nay-Collins, Dalton, Devine, Hamill,
Mcguire and PoZega-6.
The majority report was adopted.
The judiciary committee reported on
the sidewalk cleanig ordinance, recon-
mending that the ordinance do not pass.
The report was adopted.
The street commissioner was instructed
to at once enforce the ordinance provid-
ing for the cleaning of alleys.
A protest from Ben Falk against the
assessment of $14 per lot as sewer tax
was laid on the table.
Alderman Hamin was granted a Co.
days leave of absence.

GO HARD WITH HIM

Emil Sage, the mar who placed his wife
in a crib against her wishes, and who
yesterday was sentenced to 60 days in
the county Jail for vagrancy, finds the
rope of justice tightening aroun him.
Today County Attorney Duffy filed a
complaint against him under the state
laws, charging him with v~agrancy also,
but the state laws permit imprisonment
in the county Jail and a fine of $500.
Sage will be arraigned before Judge Be-
land on the last court at 2 o'clock today.
County Attorney Duffy is looking UP the
law and will try and make a penitentiary
offense out of the case if it is possible to
do so. The Epworth League have inter-
ested themselves in Mrs. Sage, n the
chances are she will be relieved from her
present abode in the bad lands.
