Caldwell DEMOCRATS
CELEBRATE JEFFERSON DAY
The Boise Faithful Democrats Charter a Car
DONE...OLD GLORY STILL FLOATS BRYAN is The
WHOLE and ONLY REMEDY

The Democratic Club of Caldwell
decided to celebrate Jefferson Day
and to that end extended invitations
to their democratic friends in Boise
to come and enjoy a "f1ow of soul
and a feast of reason" The Boise
boys accepted the invitation cheerful
ly and chartered a special car AID
came down on the Interurban, over
40 strong. Grand Sachem Pense and
Chiefs Hawley, Flenner, Martin, and
Harmony Floed were among the
number, besides numerous ordinary
warriors. The Boise democrats evil
IDENTIFY believe in signs and tokens
for they brought Bob Gilmore and
Jim Lusk, two reputable colored men
along as mascots. The charm evil
IDENTIFY worked satisfactorily, for the
meeting was success from the start
to finish. There were representatives
present from Nampa, Parma and sew
eral other suburban towns and they
were all given an opportunity to
speak and thus relieve in a measure
their pentup feelings.
H. A. Griffiths called the meeting
to order and introduced j. T. Pense
as the first speaker. Joe was not at
his best and even intimated that he
was not prepared but he would give
them one shot IL he lost. The speak
er claims to be one of the old line
democrats and set the pave for other
speakers by condemning the trusts,
In particular, and the republican
state administration in gem
eral, besides giving the tar
if and ship subsidy a black
eye. Mr.. Pense is a very pleasant
speaker, but like all the speakers he
had lapse of memory regarding
previous democratic state admins
trations and especially that of 1901
OF. The chairman then introduced
j. G. Rice, first prefacing his re-
marks by the statement that he
would now introduce the next gov
ernor of Idaho. That remark sound
ed good, but John looked as tho he
doubted its truthfulness, but he went
to the bat and made a two-bagger
when he quoted a paragraph from
Thomas Jefferson's inaugural ad-
dress. The Boiseites were very lib
eral with their applause considering
the fact that they had not had time
to replenish their supply since they
left home.

linist, who but recently arrived from
California. favored the audience

Nasty of Nampa some time ago but
like the mills of the gods, the wheels

and it was not until about a week
ago that he was enabled to open up
his letter and paper mill for the &C
commodation of the common herd.
He felt his position. He knew the
responsibility that rested on his
shoulders as the servant of the peo-
pie, and softly breathed an oath to
stand at his post tho the heavens
fall. He thought as he proudly look
ed over his little stock of silent mes
sengers, that each one in it's silent
bosom might carry message of life,
death, joy, sorrow, love, fortune,
health ora dun, and once again he
vowed to be true to his trusts to the
bitter end. Next morning the mail
was late and the postmaster's brow
was clouded and weary with care,
when suddenly a long thru fast
freight shot into view. He grabbed
his red flag and made for the track.
There might be a letter on that
freight and he proposed to have it.

Caldwell Wins TWO
Of THE Three EVENTS
The College Of Idaho Scores a Victory
The BASKET BALL GAME sWAS FALL WEER GOT OUT OF The
MEET...THE Vote OF The JUDGES ON DEBATE WAS UNAN.
IMOUS...THE SCOREaWAS rs TO OlFAVOR OF VISITORS.

Students Of the College of Idaho
have again given evidence of their
ability as debators and athletes in
a contest with students from Weiser
high school at the Opera House last
Friday night. The question for de-
bate was, Resolved, That the Uni
ted States should permanently retain
the Philippine Islands,"
The Caldwell students affirmed the
question and the Weiser scholars an
swered for. the negative. The fol-
lowing students composed the teams:
Edna Griffith, Reese Davis, and Ed
gar Cakes represented the College,
and George Courdin, Katherine Rec
ord, and Will Wilkerson, the High
School.
The judges were ]. T. Morrison,
Supt. Van Slooten and Judge Wood.
The Opera House was not crowded,
there being considerable vacant
space. Doubtless many of those who
failed to be present may regret their
negligence, should either of the four
boys be elected president of these
United States and be in full control
of the official pie counter, then If an
applicant was backed by the state
ment that he was present on this
particular occasion, it would prove O
powerful help towards landing the
desired Office.
The Tribune regrets to say that the
debate was a disappointment in a
measure to the friends of the par
Elephants and was not considered up
to the standard of either of the in
situations which they in part repre-
scented. OF course there is some
cause for the teams falling below the
standard already established, it was
not owing to the quantity or quality
of gray matter" 1t appeared to
the audience that the speakers had
not ben given sufficient time for the
preparation of their arguments, and
perhaps had not been sufficiently drill
led. Some of the best arguments
were hurrielly gone over, leaving
the audience at loss as to which
plan would be the best to adopt for
the greatest good to the greatest
number. The audience was gener-
GUS with applause and was apparent
ly greatly entertained by the speak
ers.
The singing of the Girls Glee
Club" was greatly appreciated by the
audience. The solo by Miss Squiers
was really a treat and was SO great
ly enjoyed, that she had to respond
to an encore. Miss Squier is IA
vorite with Caldwell audiences and
is always greeted with generous ap-
plause.

Caldwell Band.

After a winters rest the Caldwell
band is being reorganized and will
be much stronger this season than
ever before. Several new members
will be added and the Caldwell band
will continue to lead the procession
as it always has done. The citizens
have always taken a lively interest
in this organization and will contin-
ne to do so, not only because of the
excellent music, but the band has
been the best advertisement the city
ever put out.

An Editor Goes to Church.

A central Kansas editor says: 1--WE
attended church some time ago, and
listened to a very good sermon, as
sermons go. We enjoyed the sing
ing; and stood up with the brethren
and sisters while they sang the good
old hymn, 'Shal We Know Each
Other There?' While the hymn was
being sung we glanced about us and
counted about a dozen members of
the congregation of the church who
do not speak to each other when they
meet on the street, or elsewhere. The
thought occurred to us, why should
they know each other there when
they seemingly don't know each
other ?"-The Reflector.
Manager Isham has been making
some improvements at the Opera
House so that there will now be no
further room for criticism. 1t Is
owing to the progressiveness and lib
erality of Manager Isham that
the people of Caldwell are enabled to
enjoy the privilege of an up-to-date
play house. When Dr. Isham erect
ed the building and for several years
after, it was far in advance of the
town, now that the city has laid
aside the clothes of youth, and dom
ned those of full grown manhood,
the Doctor is keeping pace with the
growth by adding more improve
ments. The work that Is now being
done ID that of putting in an addi-
tional staircase, thus practically
doubling the capacity of egress from
! the building.

of the hour, was of short duration.

debate closed and it was 1916 a. m.

Saturday Ball Game.
Saturday at 10 a. M, the basket
ball game was called to be played on
the club ground near the College
building. The Tribune will not at
tempt to give description of the
game, but will state that the College
girls were not Gin it,; when the
game closed it was found that the
score stood 26 to 0 in favor of Wei
ser. However, they said it was a
good game and the home girls gained
considerable information regarding
basket ball. The Weiser team have
the distinction of never having been
beaten. They are alright, and it is
hoped they will try conclusions with
the home team again in the near flu
ture.
~ Base Ball.
The baseball part of the athletic
meet was called for p. m. at the
fair grounds and when "ball' was
called the grand stand contained
fully 200, the greater number being
enthusiastic students. College yells
and songs greeted the players, the
respective teams went to the bat and
naturally when good play was made
extra yells cheered the players. One
noticeable feature of the game was
the absence of guying that SO fire.

of death due to alcoholism being re
turned by Deputy Coroner Albert

The evidence in the case seemed to

in the South Chicago police station in
1903 and so firm was his belief in this
that he let the original verdict stand
The skelp IN will be removed today

laid to rest.
The skeleton mystery is no nearer
solution than it was the day after il
was found by Michael Miller in the

Icording to the police, that the affair
will never be solved. However. the in,

Chicago City Council May Make Some
improvements In "Bat's" Town.

The committee on streets and alleys
south, from the city council, yesterday
made a trip to Hegewisch where they
took look over the suburbs streets
in contemplation of making numerous
improvements.
The committee was headed by Com
missioner of Public Works John Han

John H. Jones.
After making personal inspection
of the Hegewisch streets the commit
tee returned to South Chicago where
the crowd took dinner with the local
aldermen.
Hegewisch streets are in a deplorable
condition from one end to the other
and thousands of dollars should be
spent byl the city in improving them.
Both the local aldermen have taken
the matter of getting improvements for
Hegewisch before the council, but each
time nothing was done
Yesterday at the request of Commits
sioner Hanberg, the committee agreed
to look over Hegewisch. The result
