The picture of Kate Castleton when

NEWS has secured one for its picture
gallery. and prizes 1t highly. Show pic

What Is the matter with our young
brother, the Republican, Thursdays
paper contains three or tour para
graphs showing irritabillty in q marked
degree toward this paper. and one allu-
sion so decidedly filthy that the Police

house would undoubtedly be the best

It has every facility of easy access by the
newspaper fraternity. without passing
