that has not yet died out Did you
ever know Methodist minister who
didn't dabble in medicine?"
The full title Of the volume was
primitive Physick; or, An Easy and
Natural Method Of Curing Most Dis

he had paid $40 for the book. but that
as medical work it was not really
worth 40 cents. To show the weak
ness Of John Wesley's doctoring he
quoted the following consumption cure:

into the hole for q quarter of an hour.

"Well. goodby. dear" said Mr.. True

Half an hour later Mr.. Trueboy en-
tered his club and sat down. with
three others, at q card table.
"Just moment, you fellows, before

A little ray of sunshine,
"A little dash of rain.
A little streak Of pleasure,
A little spell Of pain,
Some moments Of contentment.
Some days of care and strife.
Peace coming after conflict
These go to make up life.
A meal of eggs and bacon.
Hash after Christmas fare.
And once or twice each season
A breath of country air,
A feast when company visits,
A famine in It's wake,
A touch of rheumatism
Or even stomach ache.
A quarrel with n neighbor
About trifle small,
A wrestle with Il mortgage,
A game of basket ball,
A season of hay fever.
A swollen dentists bill.
Forgetfulness in slumber,
Some quinine for chill.
Perhaps it seems a hundrum
All laid away on ice.
But there are, you will notice,
Variety and spice.
Some luck without an effort
And failure, though we strive,
Enough to keep n fellow
Aware he is alive.

Republican Convention i'm OWyhee.

The following minutes of republican county con-
vention in Owyhee county in 1896 taken from the
columns of the Delamar Nugget of August 81, 1896:
vention in Silver City last Saturday, with quite full
delegations from every precinct. Everything
went on both harmonously and enthusiastically,
and demonstrated that the republicans of this county
propose to continue business at the old stand and
adhere to the principles professed by the party, with
out wandering off after the golden calf which the
national convention fell down and worshiped.
The resolutions adopted by the convention have the
true silver ring in them and denote that Owyhee is
all right None of the dozen less gold bugs in
the county put in an appearance at this convention.
A full ticket of county officers nominated and
the personnel of the ticket is good that it cannot

Probate Judge-George H. Handy.
Treasurer-Davd Adams.
Commssioners-First district W. N. Nichols

The MOrmOns and the Boise Re-
publiCanS.

Here is what the Mormons think of the Boise re-
publicanS. 1t is significant that Brady had his organ
in Boise The Boise edition of the Deseret News re-
produces this euson for the benefit ofthe Statesman
and the Boise republicans who attended the Wallace
convention.
The Rigby Star says:
The antics of the Ada county malcontents is really
aughabe. Headed by the Statesman they attempted
to find candidate to oppose Brady for the nomina-
ton tor governor In this they failed to such an ex-
tent that they soon became laughing stock for the re-
pub1cans of the other counties of the state Thev
then commenced on Senator Hepburn hoping to
work up sentiment against him. but they soon dis
covered they had run against another stone wall

Rev. t. F. Nelson, Chief Justice Morgan and
Willis Sweet-Much Enthusiasm for
Bryan.

The mass meeting held last Saturday evening to
ratify the nomination of VIM J. Bryan for president
was a marked success far at least attendance
could not accommodate quarter of the people who
sought to gain entrance. Long before the hour set
for the speaking every available chair taken and
even standing room was occupied. When the Bryan
Silver Club reached the doors escortng the speakers
of the evening they found the hall filled and large
crowd outside unable to gain admission There must
have been fully two hundred members of the club IN
line and as they marched through the streets with
flaming torches headed by the Moscow Military Band
they made an imposing appearance.
The meeting did not lack for speakers. While
three were down on the bills, five actually put in
an appearance and held the audience till late hour.
Of these one was democrat, one populist and
three were silver republicans. Hon. Jas. w: Reid
was the first speaker, being introduced by Hon. L.
