A Worthy Affair.

The ladies of the German Lutheran
church gave a grand fair and concert at
Schools garden bail last night for the
benefit of their church. 1t was well at
tended and proved a very enjoyable aud
interesting affair. With the usual German
spirit entertainment was provided in the
way of tablesux, under the guidance of
Mr.. VIM. Besserer, whose impromptu
ideas, deserve credit, and music kindly
furnished by the boys of the blind insti-
tute. Messrs. Chris Kofahl and Won Car
lowitz had charge of the ratlles, and many
costly and beautiful donations were fairly
awarded to the lucky ones. The
ladies, by their pretty faces
and charming ways, beguiled
the young men into investing their spare
change in the good cause. The postoffice,
fish pond and other booths were always
we'll surrounded by hilarious and liberal
crowds, who yielded readily to the seduc-
tive persuasions of Austin's German
beauties.
Rev. Z. Me.zenthin deserves the support
of the generous in his efforts to free his
church from debt and extends an invita-
ton to all to attend this evening, when all
articles will be disposed of and a fine
entertainment furnished.

"Tell us about the Texas state house."
This disconnected the colonel, and he be-

"Do you want to be paid 81 a week as

you know that Germany is a protected
country" yelled a whita-headed man, and
the audience cheered wildly. Then some
body wanted to know about that convict
labor business, and when the colonel
couldn't explain that, some one else asked
where he got his iron.

For Palmer's Campaign Expenses


Governor Palmer then related the shame;
ful manner in which an uuprincipled
Joliet friend of Mr.. Fifer had treated him.
He had agreed In writing to publish the
answers verbatim, and then made up a
garbled synopsis which was malicious
misstatement en- every point. CIV
ernor Palmer didn't propose that
that game should be played on him
again. He presumed the paper wanted
his answers and wanted to lay them before
its readers. After answering them he
would want to ask himself how many of
these questions that are important have
been presented to Mr.. Fifer, and what
were his answers. Governor Palmer de-
clared he would answer two or three. One
asked if it was true that Paul Morton, q
the Burlington road, was chairman of the
finance committee to raise funds for
Governor Palmer's canvass. His answer
was: II do not know Paul Morton; never
have seen nor spoken TO him In my
life to my knowledge. There
is no finance committee
IN Chicago or elsewhere that pays or is
authorized to pay the expenses of my
campaign. It there Is committee of
that character, want 1t TO begin handlng

expenses. 1 was very much sstonished
early in the canvass to receive 800 from

Felix Farrell,an old friend of mine in Jack,

and Thomas Brady, of Springfield, who
I have known for forty years, gave me
300 the other day. If he has any bust
ness in the world except to live the life of
comfortable old bachelor I don't know
it. Regarding the other questions l will
answer under the conditions which l
named. When 1 first started out was
treated with the greatest consideration by
my republican friends. Lately they are
getting mad and impertinent. "a voice

ders of the Sam Bass cave, and advised
him by all means TO explore its wonders.
When the train there arrived the ardent
Harrison man on exploration bent
plunged into the cave, the train moved off
