CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
VI. II. Hall and ". L. Farnam
Buy Out Ebert Bros
Grocery

= A deal was made Saturday by which
Ebert Bros, who for the past several
years have been conducting a whole
sale and retail grocery business in the
Tanner building on First street south
east, disposed of their stock OF
groceries, business and goodwill.
Including warehouses, delivery rigs,
etc. to w. H. Hall and W. L.
Farnum, The consideration is not
given out.
This is not one of the least i'm
portant of the many changes in busl
ness which have been made this year,
as this store is one of the biggest
groceries of the city and mas peen
enjoying a good business.
The business which was originally
conducted by the Tanner Mercantile
Co., was purchased by the firm OF
RAYMOND & Ebert about tive years
ago. Later Frank Ebert, who was
clerking in the Richard Bros: grocery
store at the time, was taken into
partnership, and about a year and a
half ago Ed. N. Ebert and Frank
Ebert bought out William Raymond's
interest in the business, and it has
been conducted under the firm name of
Ebert Bros. ever since. The retiring
owners of the store have not as yet
made any definite plans for the future,
but may remain. For the present
they will enjoy a vacation.
The new proprietors of the grocery
store will take full management of
the store next Monday, and a few
changes will be made on the interior
ARRANGEMENTS. All the present EN-
ployes will be retained, at least, for
the present.
Both Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Farnam are
thoroughly acquainted with the bust
ness, the former having worked ten
years in the business in St. Cloud and
in this city with the P. NJ. Medvid
grocery, and the latter having been
engaged in the business several years
in Royalton. They both enjoy a large
acquaintance. and their new under
taking should prove a success.
w. H. Hall has, by his geniality,
honesty and record of square dealing
during his service to the county as
register of deeds, become popular with
a very large number of people
throughout the county, which will
stand him to the good in the line OF
business he is now going into.
The new firm will start out with
very good prospects for a splendid
business.

The position of mail messenger,
which was resigned by Math Zerwas,
has been given to Albert Thoma, the
book binder, his bid of $3.50 for doing
the work being the lowest-of a dozen
presented. The work, which includes
the making of even round trips to the
depot daily, begins each day with the
taking of the mail to the depot at 6 80
a. m. and the last trip is made after
8 80 D.. m. While in charge of this
work Mr.. Zerwas has proved worry
satisfactory, but the low price, $500
per year, received for it caused him to
resign, and put a higher bid for the
work.

Game Birds Seized.

The greatest bag of game birds on
record has just been made not by
New York sportsmen, but by the
members of New York's ifs and game
commission. This famous bag total
led more than 1900 birds of which
5000 were plover of the lap wings
variety, 2472 golden plover, and 8
ruffed grouse, more than the famous
sage of Princeton, Grover Cleveland
has ever been able to kill in spite
of his we'll known sport-loving pro-
clivities. These birds which were
seized in a cold storage plant, where
the wardens were forced to work for
hours at temperature far below
freezing will net pretty penny in
the shape of fines, since the penalty
for each bird seized is $40 or more
than 100000 in all 1t remains to
be seen, however, whether these fines
will ever be collected. TIL cold stor-
age bird is not tn only one either
which is achieving prominence In
New York at present. The bird OF
the barnyard variety, otherwise
known as the great American hen, is
doing her best for Father Knicker-
booker with the result that eggs
strictly fresh and not of the cold
storage variety have been pouring
into the city at the rate of about H.
100000 daily. Four consecutive
DAYS recorded receipts Of more than
"A, 900, 900 eggs, or enough to supply
them literally to every one IN the
greater city for breakfast each day.
The busy bee of tabled fame is liter
ally not in It with the unostentatious
hen, whose product has now reached
the proud eminence at which banks
are willing to lend money on 1t.
meantime New York IS gloating over
the sudden drop in the price of eggs,
amounting to nearly twenty-five cents
a dozen.

An Idaho Cyclone.

American Falls is undergoing a
great house cleaning. The whole
population is wrought up over the
question of closing the saloons as
soon as their present licenses expire
and public meetings are being held
to discuss the matter. A petition
is being circulated to get signatures
against retaining the saloons, and a
protest is passing the rounds for the
signatures of those opposed to clos
ing.
Every citizen is taking sides in
the matter, and the result will inter-
est people of the state in general.
Rev. G. A. Edwards of this place has
been asked by telephone several
times to go down and address the
meetings, but he has his hands full
here, and although greatly interest
ed in the matter, he is pursuing the
even tenor of his way
1t Is only four years since Rev.
Edwards and his wife got off of
train at American Falls and could
not get served at the hotel or res
taurants just because they had come
Their to establish a church They had
money to pay for what they got, but
people shut their doors in the preach
er's face. They canvassed the town
until they found an attic to rent, and
began light housekeeping. The town
undertook to starve them out, but
they stayed year, and at the end
of the time, the citizens rendered
him another years salary in advance
to induce him to stay another year.
American Falls has caught the
spirit Of progress. and now 1t wants
everything that is better than what
1t has been having. 1t is getting to
be center, and a manufacturing
town Is already there in blue print.
Capitalists are getting interested,
and the old element that did not
want any change is getting into the
fight Of its life. A month ago there
was nothing doing on the liquor
question: now 1t is the question of
the hour and everybody is either for
or against.

Thinking my contemporaries In
the class of journalism, and competi-
tors for an alluring prize, as well as
other readers of The Republican,
may care to hear something about
this little acre on the map, where
green fields and running brooks
predominant, will give few items
along that line.
The first settlement was made here
by Immigrants from the east in
April, 1878.
! The Washoe valley was then in
habited by rabbits and mosquitoes,
the former very peaceable, the lat
ter attacking newcomers with tooth
and claw.
The valley has ben transformed
from it's primitive state OF sage
brush and rye grass into green fields
, fine orchards and comfortable homes.
Thee. s. l.. railway runs through
the center of the valley north and
south. One and half miles north,
Just across the Payette river, list the
city of Payette. The Payette Valley
railway also crosses this valley along
its eastern border. The Payette
fair grounds and race track are on
Washoe side of the river ~,.

Lucullian Banquets Fad in N.

Dinners at $500 a plate while they
are not common occurrences even in
New York, may soon become SO If
the present fad for giving feasts be-
yond the dreams of Lucullus himself
continues. Dinners at $1,000 a plate
may, indeed, be expected, although at
present $500 is the high record since
this was the cost of dinner recently
given by a young millionaire to fif-
teen of his friends. The bill, includ-
ing tips, was an even $4,000. Since
one Of New York's most famous ca
terers has gone on record to the effect
that as regards food alone no person
conconsume more than ten dollars
worth, even in the most expensive
cafe, the manner of spending $500
plate arouses some curiosity. Only
small fraction of this sum, of
course, was expended for food in this
the most gorgeous feast OF the year,
although special chef was hired for
the preparation of each of the twenty
two courses. The remainder went
for the decorations and wines, all OF
the latter being specially imported
for the occasion. The table was in
the form Of large hollow square. in
side of which and level with 1t was
large FURNISHED copper tank filled
with water. In it swan many acqua-
tic birds ranging from swans to duck
lings, while below lurked rare fish
imported for the occasion. The edges
of this miniature lake were banked
with roses and in the center foun-
tain spurted wine which falling into
special receptacle was carried by
an ingenius arrangement of pipes to
the place of each guest. OF course.
the particular kind of wine changed
with each course, but all through the
dinner it literally ran like water. The
coffee served after dinner cost $22
pound and the cigars IS apiece.
Strangely enough, the young million
aire rival of Lucullus who gave the
dinner is known as a shrewd and
conservative business man who may
always be found at his office by half
past eight in the morning.
