y An ~irrepressib!e conflict seems to
have sprung up among the people Of
Carson regarding the finishing touches
Of the dome Of the Capitol, which is
just low receiving q coating of paint.
The whole town is In arms over
the matter and the most serious re-
suits may be apprehended at any mo-
ment. Indeed, we should mo- be the
least surprised to receive any day a
dispatch from Carson, running some
thing like this:
tremendous excitement prevails
here! A squad Of Sky-blue advocates
met an equal number of Butternut
champions on Capitol square this
morning, when q desperate struggle
eusued, resulting In the total annihila-
tion of both factions. The Radical Pea
Greens and Conservative Soft Brin-
dies took no part in the battle. The
number Of the killed and wounded
can not be estimated at this writing.
Jerry Schooling and Uncle George

will not find It necessary to call on the
veterans OF the White Pine Indian war
to squelch the insurrection, though
there is no telling what a day may
