M CHALLIS, CUSTER COUNTY, IDAHO, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1894. VOL. XV. NO. 4. Written for The Silver Messenger. 1m The Devil Gone T ed a [Br Key. F. W. Pauker. ] I sometimes,think, as think I must, How modern people do; And how they struggle hard, to bust The devil plum In too. Our fathers would write In their creed, The devil lived alway ; But moderns want their creed to read: The devil has gone away. And while I spend my time to think, These thoughts come in my mind ; And here I would not have you shrink, But read these thoughts you'll find. The devil Is gone, as some would say, He cannot catch our soul. But who Is he that leads away And many don't control t Just who It is, I fain would know. That sits with fiendish grin. And sees so many people sow Such fearful seeds of sin ? Yes, who was he that taught the lie, The Hindoo wife believes— That with her husband she could die. Her angry god to please f The Ganges river Is the place, Where many a babe Is thrown ; And can yon tell me how that place And fearful lie became known. That If the babe was sick or poor. The Hindoo mother thought Her god with her was angry sure. And then the deed was wrought. O. who was he, I want to know. That did in days gone by, Rejoice to see poor matters burn And harmless people die ! Come, who Is he that fills a man With a fearful greed of gain, 'Till he becomes one of that van That leads a life of shame ? And 'till he'll stand behind the bar. And not disdain to sell What ruins young men near and far. And sends them down to hell ? And 'till his neighbor's blood he'll spill In a cruel shameful way. That he might fill hts coffers full. Ah, who is he, I say t The devil is gone, still some will say. But a question more I'd ask— And now y ou will not say me nay. .Vs I resume the task. Tell who It is that fires the young With passions to do wrong, Until their parents' hearts are wrung As weak ones by the strong Î Those parents who In life did try * To guide youth's steps aright. Have their parental heart stung By the one they thought so bright. There's many a mother's heart broke By sins of daughters bold. The foul felnd that fell that stroke. His name is left untold. O, who is he, once more I'd ask, That gives that man a thrust For that which ruias soul at last. And makes his life a-cursed ! For that which makes his wife wear A weary careworn look, Has blighted all hopes so fair. Her husband from her took ? Of questions more but grant me one, And answer me I pray. Who's the fellow that carries his business on If the devil is gone away ! a a ; 8 F. in COUNTY CONVENTION. At a meeting of the People's party Central Committee of Cus ter county, held in Challis Wed nesday, August 15th, it was or dered to hold the county conven tion for the Populist party in this county at Houston, in the Hein's Hall, at 2 o'clock p. in.,on Thursday, September 27, 1894, for the purpose of nominating a county ticket.

Queer Olgn« and Notice*. is Go where you will they stare the observers in the face. The following are specimens for ad vertisements in our great dailies: For Rent—Two rooms furnish ed with a young widow. Also the following harrowing announcement : Wanted—Four girls to strip in a tobacco factory. A lady who is desirous of dis posing of some of her property advertises : For Sale—A piano by a lady with carved legs. They were an enterprising firm so they advertised their laundry business : For nice bosoms go to the Misses Jones, only 10 cents. A reporter wrote : "Several dogs were shot in west end. And so it goes. A farmer who wished to enter some animals at an agricultural exhibition, wrote as follows to the secretary : "Enter me for a jackass." A Nevada paper advertises for a first-class saddle horse for a lady that is young and gentle and easy to ride. The proprietor of a bone mill advertises those sending their own bones to be ground will be attended to with punctuality and ; dispatch. A recent advertisement in a country paper reads thus: "For sale, a bull-terrier dog, two years old. Will eat anything; very fond of children. Apply at this office." A man came into the office the other day and thus addressed us at the desk: "How y-ou vas to day-, I hope ? I want for to ad vertise my leetle tog on der baper. He vas shet-black mit vite spots all ofer him in blaces. His tail vas coot off close up to himself, and if anypotty finds him, keep him. for I pelong to him. How much vor two time?''

Chambers, of Challis, nominee for Lieutenant-Gover nor on the Populist ticket, and Dave Tewalt, of Clayton, were in the city during the week. The Baxter house is being fit ted up for the future home of Mr. and Mrs. Al. Evans. Chris. Rogers has assumed the position of carpenter for the Company. Mr. Jensen, of Round Valley, is in the city. B. F. Brown was up from Houston last Sunday. A new supply of iron and mechinery has been ordered for the blacksmith shop. Mart Houston is running a daily stage between Houston and Cliff. Miss Etta Harris, of Lost Riv er, spent Friday with her mother —Echo. of at Cliff. A Chinaman was at the post office when the daily papers ar rived giving an account of the sinking of the Chinese war ship by the Japanese. He expressed his patriotism and faith in his own people as follows: "China man, he no likee fightee on water; bime by Chinaman he go on land; maybe so ten thousand, fifty thousand, million men, he catchee Jap, he wipe him up; be no more Jap. Chinaman he no care, lose two thousand men, plenty- Chinaman left. Pretty soon Jap all gone ."—Idaho Demo crat. of it Hiram Pearsons, who owned large interests in Custer county, Idaho, it will be remembered, was drowned in Lake Michigan several years ago. His property which was given in his will to two aunts, was to go to a San Francisco orphan asylum if the aunts died before him. They Now the Roman died first.

Everett Vance was up from Houston and Cliff last week, and informs a ÏÂessexger reporter that everything is ready at the Big Copper to go to smelting as soon as the /Company gets coke in. This will be in a few days. Philipi Gossi, of East Fork, has the contract for hauling ore, and Frank DelFVea for furnishing coal.* Hoisting machinery is en route, and when it arrives, a shaft is to be run down at the big blow-out. and, probably some cross-cutting—anyway it is re ported that the mine is to be prospected from this point in a most thorough manner. We are more than pleased to see that Mr. Clark and Mr. Brown have taken hold of this property, for the reason that, if there is a lead in the mountain there, they are more likely to find it than any one, who has ever taken hold of it. So much showing surely must come from an immense lead; and, once shown up, Custer county and, especially Lost Riv er valley, will begin in earnest to show some of its grand, hid den wealth. We trust that the days of waiting for our Lost Riv er people is at an end, and their day of rejoicing is at hand. But. whether now or not, there is no A' t this the de ex all on 18*4, at of to led the question but that its day of Ex celsior will come at last It be one of the star valleys in the world. _3 > LOCAL GLEANINGS. -* Keep* Getting There.
