The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1902-09-09


Mrs. Chas. Baker of Mackay
visited Challis friends last week.
Zan Ziss, the great colored
comedian and world renowned
glass eater of Challis, will give
an exhibition at the opera house
this week.
Commissioner MCGOWAN was
over from Custer last week.
News reached this place last
Saturday morning that mines at
Mackay owned by the White
Knob Copper Co., has again
closed, also the smelter after
five days run. Supt. Boyd was
called to New York and this
closing down order was made on
his arrival.
Does any person for a moment
suppose that the ''twomile limit"
plank in the Republican platform
of Idaho was intended in good
faith ? They elected Gooding as
chairman, and he is one of the
big sheep owners of Idaho, and
| is known to be bitter enemy of
the two mile limit law. The
plank was inserted in their plat
form to capture the ranchers'
votes, and that's all, but we do
not believe their deceptive trick
will avail them anything.
A matched game of baseball
was played on the Challis ball
ground last Sunday afternoon
between the Challis and Pah-
samaroi teams. The score stood
Challis, go; Pahsamaroi, 81.
Comments are unnecessary.
The wires for the long distance
telephone line to Challis are
stretched within twenty miles of
ChalliS.
DR.. Philips has rented his resi-
dence in Challis to Mr.. Russell,
of Mackay.
Judge Johnston, of Challis, has
a pretty fair chance to receive
the nomination for District Judge
+ of the Fourth Judicial District on
the Republican ticket. Although
we are opposed to Mr.. Johnston
!, politically,we know him to be ar
honorable, upright and capable
man, and one who would be al
honor to the bench,
The co-partnership heretofore
existing in the sheep business
between between o. w. Porte

him as Mr." but finally shut their

he rang the bell at n brownstone front.

Experts, however, shake their heads
over the authenticity Of this work of

Chinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac-
tice of surgery differs considerably
from that in vogue in less enlightened
western countries. Bone setting in the
Celestial empire is complicated af-
fair and doubtless much more ethca-
cious than European methods. In set
ting fractured limb the surgeon does
not attempt to bring the bones togeth-
er, but merely wraps the limb in red
clay, inserting some strips of bamboo
into the clay. These strips are swathed
in bandages, and in the outer bandage
the head of live chicken is placed.
Here comes in the superior science of
the Celestial. After the bandage has
been secured the fowl is beheaded, and
its blood is allowed to penetrate the
fracture. for it .nourishes the fractured
limb and is heap good medicine"

A Wooden Stntue In Tokyo.

In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, there
exists gigantic statue of a woman
made of wood and plaster and dedicat-
ed TO Hachiman, the god of war. In
height it measures fifty-four feet. The
head alone, which is reached by a
winding stairway in the interior of the
figure is large enough to comfortably
hold twenty persons. The figure holds
huge wooden sword in one hand, the
blade of the weapon being twenty-sev-
en- feet long, and a ball twelve feet in
diameter in the other.
Internally the figure is fitted up with
an extraordinary anatomical arrange
ment, supposed to represent the differ
ent portions of the brain. A fine view
of the country is obtained by looking
through one of the eyes of the statue.
