Der OF gentlemen organized what tban

tety, and secured room over Plum's
grocery for their weekly place of meet
| ing. There was a good deal of chuck.
ing and grinning around town when If
was learned that we had been delhi.
erately snubbed by the aforesaid society
Many friends called to tender their svm.
pathies and advice, but we did not need
any consolation.
Where is that society to-davp Ecbo

graphed to Omaha, Denver, Lincoln.
virginia City and two or three other
towns that such a person, wanted for
horse-stealing, barn-burning or bigamy
was here, and within four days the De
oonaires were wearing bracelets. Per,
haps 1t was good idea to snub us. Per.
maps some other society will try it ON.
GIVEN IT UP.--With this Issue of the
hlcker we cease the weather forecasts
which we have been publishing as fore.
casted from our own observatory for the
last six weeks. While we hays had
wonderful luck in hitting the weathe,
Tor three and four days ahead, our Local
subscribers have had no interest in i,
and have discouraged our enterprise
This arises from the fact that no one
here cares a cast iron cent what the
weather is. If fair they go out and
shoot jackass rabbits and run horses
If foul they gather in the bar-room and
drink whisky and play seven-up. The
least that concerns them is what the
weather is going to be on the morrow
and we don't propose to educate then
up to feel anxious about it.
WE PLEAD GUILTY.--We were called
upon the other evening to act as referee
for prize fight at the Arcade Athleti,
rooms. and because we refused the homo
certain persons are observing that i
was because we felt ''stuck up ant
thought ourselves better than the gen
eral run. We plead guilty to both insin
uations. We are altogether too high Ii,
In the scale to referee prize fight
and we feel oursel yes as far above Ger
tain men in this town as the eagle il
above the grasshopper.
And why not? What other newspape
in this country has increased it's circula
tion two hundred per cent. in six months
What other newspaper has combina
ton under its roof of grocery, a feet
store, butcher shop, a bakery, a sad
dlery ana repository for the sale o
wheel-barrows! People who take Us 20
scrub haven't got their eyes open yet
SETTLED IN FuLL.-The fifth breach
OF promise suit brought against us il
the last eight months was settled ont O
court yesterday and all further proceed
ings discontinued. This suit was brough
by Miss Aramantha De RiYes, daughte
of the well known Judge De Rives, o
Jackass Terrace.
We determined at first to fight thi
suit to the bitter end, but it having COM
to our knowledge that Mrs. De Rive
had overheard certain declarations o
ours, and that the fair plaintiff had pre-
served all our letters we deemed it
matter of prudence and economy to set
tie. As the terms were not to be con
sidered secret, we state them here. w
bilked the fair Aram antha because w
discovered that she had a cork foot an,
bad case of catarrh. If we ever MARI
we want wife who is sound on her pins
and we don't care to stumble over a.
outfit to cure eatarrh every time we pas
through the house.
While the plaintiff had the bulge OF
us to certain extent, we had some
thing of "a bulge to offset it. We knew
that her mother used to run second
hand clothing store in Denver, and, b,
telegraphing certain sheriff, we coul'
have had the Judge returned to prisol
to serve out five more years. We agreed
to pay $40 and keep quiet-S20 in trad
and $40 in cash-and the proposition wa
accepted This ends the case and leave
all good friends, and we sincerely hop
that the dear girl will soon be better Q
her catarrh, ard that her cork foot ma
not stand in the way of another loyin
her truly and devotedly. Ere

Time was when lady or gentleman
who, after q term or two at dancing
school, could waltz fairly well, coul.
