The Dewey Knights of Pythias pro
pose to give a ball aud banquet at the

social pleasures and they propose to
make up for it Thursday night aud to
have their lady friends with them.
A legend has it that 8t. Patrick was
born so near the hour of midnight,
March 8-9, that it could not be deter
mined which day should be celebrated
in honor of the great divine, and that
the Irish settled the matter with logic
by addiug the two dates and making
the 17th the proper day to honor the
gentleman who banished the snakes
from the "ould sod."

after each one has takeu a solemn oath
to ki 1 as many of his foes as bis skill
and strength will permit, to prououuce
a benediction over them before relir
ing for the night. With all their
Christianity it is evident that the Rus
sians are not following very closely the
text of scripture which says: "Ven
geance is mine, saith the Lord, and 1
will repay it."

DeLamar
Mrs. Farrer and her daughter, Dollie.
arrived here Sunday from their former
Hailey home to join the Doctor, and
have set up housekeeping in the resi
dence recently occupied by Dr. aud
Mrs. Fairchild.
Quite an amount of illness is now
prevalent in aud about DeLamar. Juo.
Souders, who has been the caretaker of
the Big I property, and lives alone
down by the old Henrietta mill, has
been uuder the doctor's care nearly all
winter. Jimmy Carolin is very serious
ly ill with pneumonia. Joseph Thom
as is laid up with the same complaint.
Jas. H. Hore has been quite sick (or
the past week with the grippe.
The St. Patrick's Ball.
The Catholic Ladies know just how
to frame up the most delightful enter
tainments ever given in this old town,
aud last night they were at their best.
The St. Patrick's ball given by them
was universally pronounced to be the
red letter social event of the season,
attended by the largest number of peo
ple. It was altogether enjoyable from
the opening hymn—"America," sung
by a large chorus -until it broke up at
daylight this morning, the dances be
ing interspersed with Irish national
soug8, solos and jig dances, Mrs. P.
McCabe takiug a conspicuous part in
the latter and being ably assisted by
Johu C. Connors, Cou McKinnon,
Michael Jordan and others. Kathleen
Mavourneen, sung by a fine chorus,
charmed the house. The gracious lad
ies who made up the reception commit
tee took especial care that everybody
who attended was made to feel at
home and the lady floor managers tried
to see that everybody shared the pleas
ure of the dances. It is conceded that
the annual balls on St. Patrick's day
shall always hereafter be in charge of
the Catholic ladies and to be hoped
that the present crop of them
loug retain their charms and graces.

Caldwell's New Hotel.
The enterprise of Mr Howard Sebree,
Caldwell's wealthy banker, has provided
that prosperous town with an elegant
and commodious hotel,tbe Saratoga
which was opened for business, with ap
propriate ceremonies, a ball and ban
quet,on the 15 iustaut, with Mr. Ralph
Sebree as manager. While uot as gor
geous or imposing as the grand caravau
sary which has doue so much to adver
tise the neighboring town of Nampa, it
is nevertheless very elegant aud com
plete in modern equipments aud fur
nishings. It amply fills a long felt waut
iu Caldwell, which has heretofore beeu
behind all the other growing aud flour
ishing towus iu Southern Idaho iu its
provisions for eutertaiuing the travel
ing public. A good hotel aud a good
newspaper are necessities in a town
which aspires to prominence. Caldwell
is not now behind any town of its size
in Idaho in either of these particulars.
To Test Idaho Game Un.
Spokane sportsmen are back of the
fight to break the Idaho game law and
are busily casting about to find where
they stand in the case peuding before
Judge Morgan of the supreme court at
Rathdrum. It is the case of L. F. Wil
liams of Spoaane, who was arrested
nearly a year ago for fishing iu Idaho
without a license. He was put up as a
willing scapegoat by the sportsmen of
that city, to whom tbe game law of
Idaho has loug beeu a subject ouly
thought of with pain.
The law is being tried on its consti
tutionality because it discriminates be
tween the citizens witbiu the state as
well as against those from beyond its
limits. Women vote iu Idaho, but tbe
law ouly requires males over the
of 12 years to pay a license of $1 a year
to fish or huut small game,
of other states must pay $5 for the
same privileges, and must pay $25 to
huut big game.
The game wardens have been partic
ularly aotive in pursuit of Spokaue
people making excursions into their
domains, ana a number of the local
sportsmen have banded together to
test his power. Mr. Williams was duly
arrested according to the program and
the case brought before Judge Morgan.

Patriotic Japanese.
While the Russiaus represent the
least desirable class of the Caucasian
race, the Japanese are the most intel
ligent aud progressive of the Mongolian
people. Those who have come over to
this country and found employment as
section hands on the railroads and in
other menial work should not be taken
as a type of the Mikado's subjects.
The people generally are of an artistic
temperament, while the reverse will
apply to the rank and file of the Rus
sian people. They are also intensely
patriotic, whioh cannot be said of many
of their opponents.
The Japanese are a libérty-loving,
intelligent people, who are fightiug for
their integrity as a nation, their fire
sides aud their homes, while the Rus
sians, mauy of whom are little better
thau slaves, are wagiug war for the
further extension of an empire which
is already the largest on the face of the
face of the earth. The sympathies of
a majority of the people of this coun
try will be with the Japanese.—Ward

Rays of the Golden West.
Notwithstanding the fact that Avery
C Moore of Idaho county is a demo
crat, with those peculiar Southern pro
clivities which make him sometimes a
rather ridiculous figure in the progres
sive northwest, Nugget has to coufess
a considerable liking for the talented
young gentleman and the charm of his
Give him
manner aud his oratory,
an opportunity to talk about Idaho
and he always enthuses and says nice
things.
Mr. Moore is now down in
middle Tennessee, attending to some
mining interests, and at Columbia has
had something to say. Listen to this
from the Maury County Democrat:
Mr. Avery C. Moore of Idaho, who is
iu the city this week on miuing busi
ness, has some very interesting things
to say of the "golden west," its re
sources aud its present aud future
greatness. He is pleased with Middle
Tennessee and quick to admit it, but
when the Democrat asked him to say
something about Idaho he immediate
ly forgot all about Tenuessee, aud even
Alabama, where Mr. Moore
was mat -
ried.
"One cannot but admire this beauti
ful section." he said, "as one must ad
mire the blue grass section of Ken
tucky, but you must not be impatient
with me when I say that Idaho is favor
ed by nature above any other state iu
the Union. The richest laud on the
American continent is that of the
beautiful Camas Prairie in my home
county of Idaho. The farmers who
live there have never known
failure, aud they produce
wheat crops of 50 bushels per acre.
"Idaho has everything that is desir
able except a solution for the negro
problem," Mr. Moore continued. "My
home city of Grangeville, a rapidly
growing and very prospérons city of
2,000 people, iu the heart of a rich agri
cultural and miuing sectiou, is 18 miles
from the nearest railroad—in this res
pect without a parallel—aud yet its
churches, schools and store would do
credit to your own city of Columbia.
Lewiston, the head of navigation on
the Snake river, aud the metropolis of
central Idaho, is said to have the most
perfect climate to be found auywbere,
aud yet Lewiston is in the same lati
tude as Augusta, Maine, where the
winters ore very severe. This delight
ful condition is due to the warm winds
from the Pacific ocean. The southern
part of Idaho is being rapidly develop
ed and the valleys reudered exceeding
ly productive under irrigation. Idaho's
fruit took the first prize at the receut
National Irrigation Congress aud our
apples, cautalope8, pruues aud pears
are being marketed as far east us New
York.
"One county in Idaho produces half
of the lead mined in the Uuited States
and our wealth of gold, copper and sil
ver is practically unlimited."
Mr. Moore is an enthusiastic demo
crat and is a member of the Idaho leg
islature. He says that the West is
uot partial to any particular candidate
but that the delegation to St. Louis
will be disposed to support a candidate
acceptable to New York. He is confi
dent of democratic success nationally,
aud says the party has an even chance
iu Idaho.
A number of Columbia citizeus are
interested with Mr. Moore iu Idaho
mines and he will remain in the city
several days longer.

It also comes in bandy in
