Rev. r. S. Nickersor held re-
ligious services at May last Sun
day.
In politics the only thing that
comes to the man who waits is

Mrs. VIM. Dunn, of Custer.
Mrs. Hayes and Chas. Small, of
Clayton, were in Challis last
Saturday.

John T. Morrison, of Caldwell,
will undoubtedly be the Republi-
can nominee for governor. He
was defeated for Congress in
Idaho two years ago.
The Republican convention to
nominate county officers will be
held at Challis on Saturday.
| Sept. 9th, at 10a. m. We do
not believe the Republicans have
the slightest hopes of electing a
single person on their ticket in
Custer county Nov. 4th. The
convention viii probably be held
merely to keep up the party
organization.
The denomination of Governor
Hunt now seems an assured fact,
as his friends carried the prim
aries in Boise City and other
precincts of Ada county on Tues
; day and control the delegation
of that county, Notwithstanding
it is Mr.. Martins home and was
claimed as sure for him by his
friends. This victory for Cover
,, nor Hunt places Mr. Martin far
behind in the list of counties that
have held primaries and conven-
tions up to this writing g.-Elmore
