CARSON LETTER.
The Ladies' Will not Receive
Members Arriving--The
Drama attic Club.

The dude element Of Carson is in the
dumps because report is in circulation
that very few ladies will receive formal

amazing after all, for on that day it is
admissible for the dude, of whatever
age, to stimulate hiss microscopic brain,
without exactly giving ofense; thus he
is artihcially enabled to say something
funny, which he construes into unstud.

mentally transports himself to blissful
realms Of reflection upon the fame he
has kindled in many female hearts dur

So far only three members of the
Legislative body have arrived here; but
they keep themselves well out of sight.

The recipient of the above said that he
has received at least a dozen similar
letters and with feeling OF terror, is
afraid more are coming.
Every member will be here by next
Saturday, at the latest; but the Repub-
lican caucus will not meet until Sunday
night, and by Monday night the float
ing population will be ysibly lhinned
out by the departure of vast army Of
disappointed place seekers. These
poor devils have my heartiest sympathy.
Although many Of them are worthless
characters without a thought for the
morrow, yet there is scarcely one of
them that is not in sore need of the
place he seeks TO obtain.
Our local dramatic club, of which
have made previous mention, has at
