6top NV Paper.

The author of the %apothegm, There
is no such word as fail" was evidently
not a newspaper man. All newspaper
men realize the absurdity of this famil-
lar maxim when they attempt to get up
a paper to ~everybody's liking. AS well
might we undertake TO direct the curse
of the winds, reverse the order Of the
tides, or blot put the sunlight, as to
publish a paper that would please
everybody. This is one Of the well
defined imposibilities Of the present age,
and one which stamps the above aphor-
ism as a Misrepresentation of the most
positive character. History does not
furnish q single instance where a news
paper has been run in a manner entirely
satisfactory to all. That model plan re-
mains locked in the undiscovered realms
of hidden mystery it is beyond the
reach Of mortal, and we positively give
it up. We do not desire, however, to
be understood as having given up the
publication Of the paper, w simply
mean that We have given up all hope of
pleasing everybody. 1t may be accept
ed as an assured fact that the CHRONICLE
Notwithstanding the fact Of the loss Of
a subscriber by reason of having exer.
| cised our own judgment in the matter of
running the paper, will continue to APP
pear weekly just the same as if nothing
had occurred, and to those who imagine
that their influence carries sufficient
weight to strand the paper, the follow
ing taken from an exchange is submit
ted for their careful perusal
"After you get angry and stop your
paper. just poke your finger In water,
pull it out and look for the hole. Then
you will know how sadly you are
missed. A mar who thinks a paper
cannot survive without his supper:
ought to go off and stay awhile. When
he comes back. half his friends will no,
know that he was gone, and the Other
half will not care a cent, while the
world at large kept no account Of hi:
movement. If you were to get mac
and burn your bible, the hundreds o
presses would still 90 on printing it
and when you stop your paper and cal
the editor names, the paper will still b.
published, and what is more-you'l
read it on the sly"

J. B. Lavois, Familiarity known in this
place as "Baptiste," has been added to
the list ofsoldier pensioners. His claim,
which has been pending for several
years, was allowed March 9th. The
rate Of pension was fixed at So per month
from September 18th 1888, and $50 per
month from November 18th, 1888. The
total amount due him upon his papers
to date is about 500, which he will re-
ceive in a few days, after which he will
receive $500 per year in quarterly pay
ments. This will serve to keep the

The Rapid papers note the occurrence
Of one Of the most d~esttp..ive prairie
fires near that place on Tuesday ever
known to the region. The loss of prop.
erty, which embraces the residences
and other other buildings upon the
ranches Of Prof. q. T.. Bailey, Mr.. Hun,
and Kingman, is estimated az $4,000
Miss Eloise Madison, a young lady in
the employ of Mrs. q. f.. Bailey, mar
rowly escaped death in her effort to
escape from the burning premises. Her
injuries are very serious, and her re-
covery regarded as being extremely
doubtful. The fire was finally extin
guished by a large number of the resi-
dents of Rapid and ranchmen in the
vicinity, who turned out with wet
brooms and sacks, and by persistent
effort got it under control, saving further
loss. The origin Of the fire is not
definitely known.
