o'NEIL's N1INsTRELs a HIT.
Present es Good Sn Act as Has Been
Seen ut the Novelty.

O'NeiIs minstrels are the hit on the
bill at the Novelty theater for this
week and the act presented by them
been here for long time, and this
makes it none the less enjoya BILE. AS
a matter of fact the act is one of the
best that has been on the local
vaudeville stage this year, and that is
saying a good deal for the season,
especially at the Novelty, has been I'M
usually rich in good acts. Three
young men furnish the minstrel show.
Each of them sings we'll and two of
them do an excellent buck and wing
dance while the ''Tambo'' plays the
tamborine in a way that it used to be
played by the old HaverIy MINISTRIES.
Another entertaining act on the bill
is presented by James Frances Sulli-
van & Company, two men and a wo-
man, and their effort is styled on the
programme as THE CraZiest Act in
Vaudeville" 1t is all of that and
more. There are hardly expressive
enough words in the English languag e
is an act that would make a morose
canine take interest in life again and
it is bound to be popular this week.
Mitchell and Love, character come
dams, present the other act on the

JACK HENRY IS SOLD.
Deal for Popular Catcher With Okla
honla Goes Through.

The deal for the sale of Catcher
Jack Henry, the popular White Sox
catcher who has been with the team
since the spring of 1905. was con-
summated last night. The deal which
sends Henry to Oklahoma City was an
outright sale. Although the price has
not been announced it is stated on
good authority that the Nets man
agement paid $500 for Topeka's pop
ular catcher. 1t was reported yester-
day that the sale was to be made on
account of Henry being threatened
with suspension over the time worn
story of the Williamsport deal. How
ever, there is nothing to it. Henry
was sold outright. Regarding the
Williamsport deal that was a closed
incident before the season commenced
a year ago. The matter was definitely
settled before the. season commenced
and was settled in such a manner that
no discredit falls upon Henry from
the deal. The story hobs up from
time to time tending to discredit the
former White Sox catcher and was
probably brought up at this time as a
valid excuse for selling Henry. Henry
will leave Topeka with the team but
will not play any games with the Nets

week the board of county commission
ers will take up the matter of fees

fee the present county treasurer, ever
since he has held office as such. has ap-
propriated to his own use, out of the
funds in his hands as county treasurer.
certain monies collected by him as fees.
He cites no authority for his action
other than that the Board of County
Commissioners permit it and has said
that he stands ready and willing to re-
imburse the county If the county COM
missioners order him to do so.
The above for your consideration
and for such action as you care take

Respectfully,
IS. G. ZIMMERMAN.

The story is being widely circu-
lated that Mrs. Leonard Logan,
who was a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for city treas
urer, has bolted the ticket and was
out working for the Citizens tick
ct. Mrs. Logan is doing nothing
of the kind. She is supporting the
straight Republican ticket with all
of her strength and is advising
all of her friends to do the same.

it is to his credit as an attorney.
Some attorneys are not employed

The men who are supporting
Mr.. Kerr and Mr.. Grubb for
mayor are not the men who are
behind every movement for a big
ger and greater Boise. 1t is the
taxpayer, the home owner, those
who are interested in the future of
Boise, for the most part, who are
supporting Mr.. Haines and his as
sociates.
Democrats who recall the pre-
nomination campaign of SANDER
and vituperation against Governor
Frank W. Hunt in 1902 knew
what to expect when the Citizens
ticket was launched in Boise and
it became known who the hackers
of the movement were.
Material for the enlargement
and improvement of The Boise
Citizen has been shipped from
Portland and is being eagerly
awaited by the management. The
Citizen is to be the pronounced
newspaper success of 1907 in

If Mr.. Kerr should happen to
be elected mayor Charlie McCon-
nell will be appointed city clerk.
Well, that is some consolation.
For without the genial Charlie in
a public office life would hardly
be worth living.
The total registration this year
is 5193, an increase of 1865 over
that of 1905. Let us keep up this
growth by electing one of Boise's
most foremost and enterprising
citizens, John NJ. Haines, for
mayor.

and enterprise are the chief asset
of the city in its forward march
to pre-elninence as the great com
