There was u gang Of medicine fakirs
In town last Saturday, with clowns and
minstrels, but they engaged In a family
row at the Grant hotel, and our plucky
marshal told them they must 60 before
the mayor and be fined for their mis-.
conduct or leave town. They chose the
latter alternative, and thereby saved
our people some hard earned cash. The
fakes who are mulcting our people In
sums from nickel to dollars are be.

They ought to be regulated" by high

Miss u. +. Dix started Monday for

and especially In the Woman's Relief
Corps she has been active and deeply
interested. She will be greatly missed,
and her friends will wish that fortune
may return her to this society In the
future.
