DEMOCRATS TO FORE,
City-Township Committee Fixes
Dates Of Caucuses and
Convention.
NEXT SATURDAY AND TUESDAY

An Enthusiastic Gathering OF Party
Chairman W. C. Maucker Speaks of In
terest In the Election and the Bright
ProsPectsIforlsuccessa at the Polls.
At the meeting of the democratic
city-township committee at Turner
hall last night il was decided that the
caucuses be held Saturday evening,
March 10, in the several wards, and
the convention to nominate candi-
dates for the township offices Tues
day evening, March 10, at Turner
hall.
The meeting, one of the most largely
attended and enthusiastic ever held
by the committee, was presided over
by the chairman, W. c. Maucker.
George B Henry being elected to
officiate as secretary. Mr.. Maucker
stated the purposes for which the
committee and the active party work
ers of the city were called together.
He was glad to see such a fine turn
out of representative democrats, for
it bespoke more than ordinary inter-
est in the coming election, and when
the democrats got interested, he said,
they generally were the victors at the
polls, even in such a republican
stronghold as Rock Island.
Considerable discussion was devoted
TO the dates of the caucuses and con-
vention. 1t was finally left to the
ward committeeman. who seemed TO
be unanimously in favor of the dates
given above, and these were selected
upon motion of NJ. II. Sexton.
Where Caucuses Will be Held.
The locations of the caucuses were
designated rs follows: First ward,
Second, Stodds' hall; Third, Darts
building, 1914 Third avenue; Fourth,
Frick IL Kautz's livery stable; Fifth,
hose house on Twenty-second street;
Sixth, Christian chapel, on Seventh
avenue: Seventh, old No. school
house.
Incidental to the talk concerning
the location of the caucuses, q ques-
tion was raised by some OF those from
the First precinct as to the advisable
ity of holding the primary in the Sec
ond precinct of the Second ward, I'M
less some place other than Stodd's
hall were available, on account of the
recent discovery of small poX case
in that neighborhood. Aid. j. w.
Lawhead interrupted the debate with
a remark that he thought all good
democrats were immune from the
disease, so there should be no fears on
the part of the party mem bers in the
Second ward.
Among Ward Candidates.
Thomas Byrnes is being urged by
his friends to become candidate for
alderman in the First ward.
Friends of Chris Schillinger, of the
Fifth ward, are discussing his name in

Tnurovenents.

The board of education are consid-
ering repairs and improvements re-
quired at the school house. In view
of the growing difficulty and inconv
yenience of obtaining wood at a reas-
enable price coal must be largely de-
pended upon for fuel. They have al
ready bought so tons of soft coal and
bins are being built in the basement
for its reception. A floor will be laid
in the room in the third story Of the
new part which will be needed the
coming year for recitation room.
The room is already finished in other
respects. A new floor is to be laid in
the library and the steps to the main
entrance of the building are
to be renewed. Tt is probable that
the board will make use of the new
patent cement-stone manufactured
by Ulrlch & Anderson for steps.
Some new sidewalk is necessary to re-
place wornout walk in front of the
steps. The thing sidewalk will prob
ably be used when there is occasion
for renewal of the old plank walks,
because of it's better durability, ap-
pearance and convenience.

One For John Glover.
mi The Bolse udahol Statesman.

From the Boise Gdaho) Statesman.
Town boomers do not enjoy reputa-
tions for the truth and yeracity that
the. good book enjoins. Some are
worse than others, and all are guilty
of more or less exaggeration. just
what class r. w. Purdum of Nampa
belongs to, the following story may
determine:
Some few days ago John e. Glover
arrived from Wisconsin for the pur-
pose of looking over this part of Idaho
with the view of investing here. He
came especially to look up the timber
resources on the Payette, but thought
he might as we'll INCLUDE in his inves-
tigation everything that presented
the possibility OF interest.
Mr.. Purdum heard of the gentle
mans arrival and Of his desire to
know the truth about this section.
He Immediately swooped down upon
him and before Mr.. Glover realized
where he was at the enthusiastic Pur-
dun had him in buggy and was
showing him the country around
Nam pa.
There is lots Of country around
Nampa, and 1t requires some little
time to ride over it. But Mr.. Glover
did not tire. Mr.. Purdum furnished
him with such variety of sweet and
restful (chinl music that the hours
gllded by unnoticed and the seat SEEM
ed like downy pillow.
The resources and possibilities Of
that section were rolled into bunch
and crammed into the listener. Mr..
Purdum was delighted. The Wiscon-
sin man would certainly telegraph for
money right away.
When the gentlemen returned from
the drive Mr.. Glover seemed to be
dazed. But he wasn't. He looks that
way naturally. After thanking Mr..
Purdum for the drive he reached into
his pocket and produced Columbian
half dollar of the first vintage.
"Mr. Purdum,' he said, solemnly,
"before / left Wisconsin this was CIV
en- to me as a medal for being the big
gest liar in the state. | was told,
however, that / could only retain it
until had encountered bigger liar
than myself have found him. |
give you the medal under the same
conditions that / received it-and l
think you will keep it forever"
Mr.. Purdum now says the next time
he wants to spring a story about
prunes growing on sagebrush with
peanuts clinging to the roots, he will
make sure that his listener came from
| farther east than Wisconsin.

A Bright Tin Wedding.

Several squads Of Comrades OF L. n.
Nichols Post, G. A. R., and their con-
sorts of the Women's Relief Corps, in
stigated to that end by suggestion of
his Better Half, made an unceremo-
Nous and congratulatory raid upon
John j. feelings, the distinguished
landscape painter, Tuesday evening.
This predatory incursion upon Com
rade Jellings' preserve was made in
consideration Of the tenth anniVer-
sary of the wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs.
feelings. The conyentionalities of
etiquette designate the decennial
marital anniversary as tin wedding
for what reason matters little as TO
the festivities of this particular occa-
sion, but the nomenclature suggests
the dominating feature Of its cele-
bration-tin. The raiders were not
unmindful of the suggestion on this
notable occasion and consequently
this happy couple we're supplied with
''tin," surfeited with kitchenary
utensils of that denomination till
they couldn't rest, Tin utensils
enough to last them and their chill
dren until the anniversary of their
silver wedding shall be celebrated.
The advent of the raiders was made
"in horn" ia multiplicity of horns
Tin horns, big horns, and little
horns, keyed 'way up in Co.
the tones of which found access to
the innermost recesses OF addition
through the tympanum OF Comrade
feelings who received his guests with
mild surprise but joeund demonstra-
tions of hospitality. The respected
host and his amiable spouse received
the sincere congratulations of these
many friends with appreciation and
grateful acknowledgements. Re
freshments, abundant and appetizing
were supplied, jovial, social evening
was passed and everybody felt an
added zest in experience by the good
| fellowship OF the occasion. The
guests departed at late hour, wish
ing their honored hosts many happy
returns of their wedding anniversary
