The Deadhead.

The Creston Qowa) Every Sunday
Morning, in speaking of editors, says:
"Yes, kind friend the newspaper re-
porter is a deadhead, and so is the ed
itor, too. The editor is particularly a
deadhead, if he is proprietor of the
paper he gives his time and attention
to between meals. Yes, he is dead
head. lie has an annual pass on the
j. I. NJ. Grow road that he has not
used in three or four ears, while he
is flooded with the requests for local
space in which the company adver-
tises is excursions, land sales, etc.
Probably 5000 worth of advertising is
given this road in the course ofa year.
Yes, the editor is a peculiarly favored
parsonage. A show comes to town.
and he gets a reserved seattle COM
pany want him there that he may be
all the better qualified-and under
obligations( O-to puff the thing. lie
gives the outfit $25 worth of advertis
ing, gets two or three dollars in
money, may be, and the world calls
him a deadhead. lie goes to church
festivals and they give him three
cents worth of oyster broth for twen-
ty-tive cents, and forget to thank him
for the kind mention he made in his
paper for this benefit circus. Oh,
yes, the editor is a dcadhead. The
people leave the city and return
or build new sidewalk, and il
the deadhead editor don't happen to
find it out and speak in glowing terms
of them or it, he is bedamncd for his
lack of enterprise in not getting the
latest news. About every other per-
son on earth bores the editor for com
plimentary tickets, and he accommo-
dates them whenever he can, but the
recipients of this hospitality are not
deadhead-only editors are that infa-
nous style of putridity. Editors are
awful deadheads-they receive a
handful of wedding cake with the
compliments of the bride and groom.
Ifthe man ofink and paste and shears
fails to wax eloquent over the multi.
farious virtues of the "happy couple
he is promptly voted beastly brute
OF course, the editor pays his printers
in wedding-cake. 1t also goes long
way towards softening the pepel
fiends who supply the edit9d raw pa
per. Awful deadhead is the editor
He blows like steam thresher fol
some political pole-cat, and when III
humbly approaches the successful
man that he had greatly assisted il
getting into Office, he has 10 shou
through a deaf ear, and gets his troub
lie for pains quite likely. Editors ar
all wolves. They live on the fat of tn,
land-when they pay for it."

A SHAM BATTLE.

The event of the encampment will
be sham battle. The time of the
battle has not yet been announced,
but it is needless to say that nothing
will be spared to make the mock war
complete and exciting in detail. On
this day all admission fee will be
charged, and even then it is expected
that the grounds will not be large
enough to accommodate the crowd.
VISITORS FROM ABROAD.
A number of distinguished militia
ry men are expected from abroad.
During the last few days of the en-
campment the best companies of the
country, which are expected to visit
the exposition and take part in the
grand competitive prize drills, will
be i'll the city. They will be invited
to the encampment grounds, and
there will be provided for in a style
worthy of true Kentucky hospitali-
ty. A number of officers of the
United States Army have also been
invited to be present. Lieut.. Stansi-
fer and a company of artillery from
Columbus, o., will be in camp on the
grounds. Among others who will
take part in the cncampment will be
Governor Knott, and other State
officials.

KENTUCKY BOYS IN CAMP.
louisville Commercial. |


Gov. Knott's order dirt citing an en-
campment of the Kentucky State
guard, at the Louisville fair grounds.
commencing August 18th and contim-
uing one week, was received yester-
day and posted on the bulletin board
at the armory. The event will Gre
ate more interest in local military cir
cles than any occasion of the kind
since the encampment at Grab Or
chard several years ago. Last year
the troops were called to Frankfort,
where they remained in camp two
days. No programme had been ar
ranged, and the whole affair was a
failure.
Already the members of the sever
al companies have begun to search
musty bookcases for worn-out VOL
umns containing instructions in the
manual of arms. A great many of
the companies comprise hardly half
full list, and it is the intention to
complete the ranks, if possible, be-
fore the encampment begins. For
the next two weeks there will be
drills at the armory, and whenever it
is found practicable the new men,
bcrs will be given an opportunity to
acquaint themselves with the cvolu-
tons upon the commons.
During the encampment the pri-
Yates will receive a daily stipend
from the State of 81 so. Non com
missioned officers will receive 81 rs,
and commissioned officers 50 80.
Every private is expected TO wear d
new fatigue uniform, and carry a
new 4j-calibre safety match gun.
The priyates, by the way, are expect
ed to pay 81 so to the State out of the
salary they receive for uniforms and
guns. Everything about the camr
will be bright and new, and the ac-
coutrcmcnts will be used for the first
time. One statement is made posi-
lively, that nobody will he excused
from duty, and another statement is
made, equally as emphatic, that no.
body wants 10 be excused from duty
On the other hand, the boys seem t,
welcome the occasion as a privilege
and each man will contribute his IN.
dividual effort to make it success.
THE PROGRAMME.
There are twenty companies in thu
State, and it is expected they will b,
severally represented by sixty-foul
armed men. This combination will
make strong and favorable showing
ahd will bring into conception {
number of good companies. Anon,
the State guard companies a gcner
Gus rivalry exists, the various club
combining for a common good recor,
instead of individual good standing
1t is confidently expected, however
that a series of prizes will be Offered
for the best drilled companies, and t,
this end preparations have a,raad,
been commenced with view of en-
tering into competitive drill.
Among the best drilled visitin,
companies which will be in the ell
campment are the Monarch Rifles, @
Owensboro; the Bowling Gree,
Guards, under Major NJ. II. GRIMM
and the IIopkinsville company
Company "F" has always been con
sidered the crack of the Louisvill,

The Democratic State Ticket.
The candidates placed before the
voters Of West Virginia by the
Democratic party for the various

strong candidate. MIR. Wilson dur.
ing his career az a legislator achiey.
