Col. E A. Cslkins and S. D. Car
! penter are again before the legislature
with their old printing claims. Gov.
Washburn's Il object" of last win
ter, was little discouraging at the
time but they hope to fare better under
the new dispensation. The antiquity
of these claims will raise some doubt
in the minds Of many, as to whether
they rest on the foundation of justice.
but the fact that they are old claims

conclusion that they are fraudulent as
well.
A woman on Quality Row, while
cooking her mans breakfast recently,
with some good, nice dry wood Owe
presume it cost as much as $500 a
cord, that is, the original owner, }
suddenly shot out through the scuttle
followed by frying pan, teakettle,
spider, shovel and tongs, and sundry
pieces of fried pork, the long process
ion looking like quivering log chain.
AS she went up, she met Pumpkin
Hill woman coming down followed by
similar retinue, but neither had time
to pass the compliments of the season
only to observe that she wore such
plain looking calico which she knew
wouldn't wash. and she should think
that any woman ought to be ashamed
to be seen out in it, and she the
Pumpkin Hill woman never saw such
cheap dirty looking polonaise, and
such a neck ribbon. Moral, buy
your wood and don't be proud.

lieve it, Jack always was incredulous

Bro. Closuit feels hurt at what
we said about the "Whiskey Row, !"
IF we were incorrect, we are ready to
make the amende honorable. If not,
we don't gig an inch. Fred says in
the Tribune 7 don't want to sell glass
of liquor to any man who is "drunk.
Glad of it Fred, now don't sell glass
to any man who is sober and you will
be doing the right thing. Fred says
further: Such misrepresentation as
appear in the Reporter from time to
time create in the public mind pref
udice against saloons which ought not
to exist and which is detrimental to
our business"
Too bad, that we should say any
thing truthful Judicial to saloons
something detrimental to their bust
ness. Why, Bro. Fred, that's what
we are here for We shouldn't be a
bit surprised now, to see card from
the Devil in the Chicago Times that
the Christian Churches are creating
prejudiices an the mind Of the people
against He'll, and detrimental to has
business. Too bad Mr.. Devil, but
probably the churches will keep right
on fighting you with an outstretched
arm.
