Bad Editor.

That refined and cultured reptile,
Bill Bosworth, whose chief occupa-
ton is swilling down forty-rod
whiskey and lying about his bet
tiers, is circulating the story that he
gave Us a licking last Sunday
night. Now, the truth of the mat
tiers is that Bill has been mashed
on Our eldest daughter, and he
called. at Our house ON Sunday
evening to ask Our permission to
spark her. We promptly and in
dignantly showed him the door,
while Our wife stood ready with a
horsewhip. Bill dared Us to come
out and We went. We hit him
three times that We know of, and
We kept count of five kicks. We
got in on him, and in two minutes
he was begging for mercy. We
don't pretend to be any fighter, but
five can't lick Bill Bosworth with
one hand tied behind Us, We will
go out of the newspaper business.
Our friends have advised Us to
shoot him, and if it wasn't for Our
wife We'd do it. Bill, don't you
come fooling around Us no more!

The countv-seat Procession,


"This copy of our paper" writes
a Dakota editor, sis not issued from
Scrip City, our new county-seat, as
we hoped it would be, but about
four miles from there, near Hank
Potter's place. This is owing to
the fact that in moving our Office on
the wagon, where We have had it
for the last two years so that we
might keep it as near the county
seat as possible, one of our horses
became frightened at the noise OF
the job-press as we were running
off some posters, reared up and fell
and broke its neck, thus compelling
us to stop in the road. We expect
to remain where we are till next
week, when the boys from Jumping
Valley move the county-seat back,
when we shall hitch our wagon to
the back end of the Courthouse
and be towed along to civilization.
Before the Scrip City boys come
after the County Capital, week after
next, we shall have secured a new
horse and propose to keep right up
to the procession after this. Re-

One hundred and ten thousand
books, papers and documents show
ing rates, fares and charges tor

bet ween carriers in relation to in
terstate traffic hsve been filed in the
office of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In its annual reports
that body admits hat it has been
unable to do more than acknowl-
edge the receipt of these papers and
to classify and. index them. The
organization of a general system
through which these documents
might be made useful has not been
attempted. No investigation of
their contents has been made for
the purpose Of ascertaining to what
extent the provisions of the act reg

with. The Commission has been
completely overwhelmed by the
multiplicity ofrates and the magni-
tude of that work. 1t cannot begin
to revise the schedules of the rail-

A Wrong Suspicion.

AASh
Girard, Kas., has just voted an
other sum of SIS, 600 to the Chi
cago, Jefferson City, Girard and
Ell Paso, says an exchange. 1t
adds: "This road has now secured
subsidies from nearly all the towns
along its entire length, some 1Se
miles, from Jefferson City to Gil
rard. Early in March the company
will start upon the active work OF
grading. The Alton has been sus-
pected all along of being back OF
this enterprise. The line as pro.
jected would give a valuable con-
nection between St. Louis and Chi
cago and Southern Kansas. This
new line would also, if controlled
by the Alton, be of great value to
the Louisiana and Missouri, con-
verting some fifty miles of the lat
ter into an important link in a
through line"
However much the Alton may be
suspected of interest in or co-opeTa-
ton in building the new line there
is not a particle of foundation for
it. The Alton is not remotely OF
in any way connected with the pro-
iaet
