casualties in Deadman's alley. A few
think it was suicide, but owing to the

DOINGS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
of
All Atttxches Named Except
Chief Clerk of the House—
Owyhee Gets Two.
The legislature is slow in getting or
ganized and down to real work. The
house at this writing—Wednesday
evening—has only completed the selec
tion of its clerks and other attaches,
and elected its speaker, but has not
yet informed the governor and senate
that it is ready for the transaction of
business. The senate did this work in
much less time, having elected its at
taches on Monday and adopted its
rules today, and is now fairly in work
ing order, and will hear the rrading of
the governor's message as soon as the
house is ready to receive it.
Owyhee has fared fairly well in get
ting positions, M. L. Parry having
been selected as sergeant-at-arms in
the senate, and Miss Rowena Hays—
credited to our county—having cap
tured the position of enrolling clerk in
the house.
I have not yet had time to get fairly
well acquainted with the members of
the senate, but so far they impress me
very favorably, and I believe on the
whole, from the apparent earnestness
with which they have taken hold of
affairs, they will at least average well
with former sessious. I have scarcely
looked in on the house yet, but nearly
all the members I have met appear to
be of the better sort of material. It
looks to me as if spread eagle oratory
will be most pleasingly absent from
both senate and house, and that the
members who do the talking will do it
in a maiter-of-fact business way; 1 hope
so at least.

Owyhee's Most Popular Lady.
Miss Emily U. Brown, daughter of
Mr. aud Mrs. John Brown, of this city,
was awarded the solid gold Waltham
watch presented by J. W. Rowett, the
jeweler, on New Years day, and holds
the proud distinction of being the most
popular lady in Owyhee county. Not
withstanding the fact that the contest
was very animated, Miss Brown was
far and away ahead of all competitors,
having a total of 2450 votes. Miss
Brown, who is a young lady attending
the Silver City high school, is deserv
ing of the compliment bestowed and
uaturall prizes the token very highly,
as well as the honor which attends the
receiving of it.
The large vote cast is also au indica
tion that Mr, Rowett is doing a good
business, as every vote represents a
fifty cent purchase. We were unable
to obtain the entire vote, but it must
have been large, judging from that re
ceived by the winner.

Good for 565 Happy Days.
The Citizens' State Bauk, of Nampa,
one of the solid financial institutions
of the state, remembered Nugget ed
itor the first of the year with a sight
draft on the Bank of Prosperity for
365 happy days, duly couutersigued by
Jno. D. Bloomfield, cashier. The ed
itor having already gone to Boise
to enter on his duties iu the
upper house of the eighth legislature,
will necessarily lose about 60 days
of the face value of the said draft.
However, the paper "looks good" to
the writer and we will appropriate to
our own use this portion. The temp
tation is great to abscond with the
whole amount, but we will try aud be
satisfied with part of it.
Nugget is also indebted to the Citi
zens' State Bank for a beautiful 1905
calendar.

Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 24.—Editor Sil
ver City Nugget: I write you at this
time for the purpose of informing the
many acquaintances of John Peterson,
formerly of Silver City, of his death,
which occurred on the 21st inst., of
pneumonia, after an illness of ten days.
He was buried today by Goldfield Min
ers' Union No. 220.
Jack had been in this region about
two years. He caught a cold about a
month ago, but thought he was alright
and went to work for a few days, when
he was taken worse. I found him sit
ting around the saloon by day and
sleeping in an open tent, and got him
into the hospital, where he died six
days later.
Respectfully yours,

"Can we get married right here?"
was the next question. "You see, we
have been putting this off for a long
time, and we daren't go into another
year and not be married. There have
