Grand Finale fnsffl
When, from our office window, on Fri
day last week, we saw distant companies
of dragons prancing towards Lawrence,
headed by his excclency, Major General
Robert j. Walker, we instipctively felt |
glow of generous pride, and Immediately
dispatched corps of prying and inquisitive
reporters to note down everything of inter
est or importance that transpired. In this
way we are enabled to present full ac-
count ofour Governors patriotic doings.-l
Before giving our reports, however. it may
be we'll to state that the Union is all OK,
and the dignity of the laws vindicated. 1t
is also generally surmised that the comet
was just about to smash us into chaos when
His Erratic Highness heard Of Walker and
plunged off space at a most astonishing
rate of speed. What do we not owe His
Excellency? oa
