DIR. G. W. Shaft was summoned to
Moscow Tuesday morning to treat the
7-year-old daughter of Supreme Justice
elect Ailshie, who had been stricken by
an acute attack of appendicitis. Upon
the arrival of Dr. Shaft at Moscow the
condition of the child had improved so
much that it was deemed prudent to de-
lay the operation. Judge Ailshie and
family are enroI1te to Boise, but will
now be delayed until the child improves
sufficiently to travel.-Tribune
A fire started by the accidental over
turning of lamp in the brewery saloon
last Saturday night came very near re-
sulting disastrously. The whole floor
was enveloped in a mass of flames while
the men inside were attempting to sweep
the burning oil out OF the door and try
ing to smother the confagration with
overcoats, sacks, etc. The lamp was to-
tally destroyed, the wainscoating was
considerably damaged in one place and
Clarence Columbus ovsrcoat was COM
pletely consumed. No other damage
was done but excitement ran high for a
while.
We have heard it suggested by several
different citizens that the village board
should constitute itself board of health
and pass ordinances enforcing strict
sanitary measures in regard to the
streets, alleys and outhouses of the viii
lage. Some of the alleys, are used for
dumping garbage and filth of all kinds
that must sooner or later make them a
veritable hotbed of disease. 1t is a
known fact that contagious diseases of
all kinds are in great measure due to
unclesnliness. 1t would be a good idea
to attend to this matter while there is
no sickness, SO that we cannot blame
ourselves should we have another epi-
demic such as we had last year.
The CHRONICLE wishes its patrons and
readers bright and happy new year.
We are very thankful to the public for
the liberal patronage and encourage
ment extended US during the past year
and hope to further merit their support.
We have been here nearly two years and
have made many friends and few sne-
mics. For our friends we wish all the
choicest blessings for our enemies
well, we're not so particular about them.
We will continue to try to get all the To-
cal news all the time and hope that
our manner of doing business and our
