Il PERHAPS IT WAs.-Last week num-
ber of gentlemen organized what they
allied The Debonaire Literary So
sety," and secured a room over Pinm's
grocery for their weekly place OF meet
ing. There was good deal of chuck
ling aud grinning around town when 1t
was learned that we had been DELHI
erately snubbed by the aforesaid society.
Many friends called to tender their SYM
pathies and advice, but we did not need
any consolation.
Where Is that society to-day? Echo
answers: ''Where?" We simply tele-
graphed to Omaha, Denver. Lincoln.
| Virginia City and two or three other
towns that such a person, wanted for
DEMONSTRATING, barn-burning or bigamy
was here, and within four days the De
bonaires were wearing bracelets. Per
haps II was u good idea 20 snub US. Per
haps some other society will try 1t on.
GIVEN II Ur.--With this issue OF the
Kicker we cease the weather forecasts
which we have been Publishing as fore
casted from our own observatory for the
last six weeks. While we havo had
wonderful luck N lifting the weather
for three aud q days ahead, our local
subscribers have had no interest In IL
and have discouraged our enterprise.
This arises from the fact that NO one
here cares q cast iron cent what the
weather Is II fair they go out and
shoot jackass rabbits and run horses.
II foul they gather in the bar-room and
drink whisky and play seyen-up. The
least that concerns them i- what the
weather IL going to be on the morrow,
and we don't propose to educate them

WI PLEAD GUILTY.--We were called
upon the other evening 10 act a. referee
for prize fight at the Arcade Athletic
rooms, and because we refused the homo,
certain persons are observing that i,
was because we felt .stuek up" and
thought ourselves better than the gen
erai run. We plead guilty TO both insin
uations. We are altogether too high M
In the scale to referee q prize fight,
and we feel ourselves as far above Ger
tain men in this town as the eagle i,
above the grasshopper.
And why not? What other newspaper
in this country has increased Its circula
zion two hundred per cent. In six monthsi
What other newspaper has a combina
ton under its roof Of grocery. a feed

SETTLED IN FuLI.--Tha fifth breach
OF promise snit brought against us In
the last eight mufths was settled out oil
court yesterday and all further proceed
Ings discontinued. This suit was brought
! by Miss Aramantha DE Rives. daughter
of the well known Judge De Rives, Of
Jaekass Terrace
We determined al frat TO fight this
suit 10 the bitter end. but ii having CONT
TO our knowledge that Mrs. Do Rive.
had overheard certain declarations oil
ours, and that the fair plaintiff had pre-
! served al our letters Nc deemed it Z
matter of prudence and economy to set
tie. As the terms we're not 10 he con
sidered secret, We state them here. We
bilked the fair Aramantha because We
discovered that she had a cork foot and
. bad case Of catarrh. II we ever marry
we want n wife who Is sound on her pins
, and We don't care to stumble over an
outfit to cure eatarrh every time we pas
through thu house.
While tho plaintiff had the bulge on
US to certain extent. We had some
thing of a bulge To offset 1t. We knew
that her mother used to run n second,
hand clothing store in Denver. and by
teleprnphing a certain sheriff. we could
have had the judge returned to prison
to serve out FIVE more years. We agreed
10 pay SO and keep quiet-s2o In trade
and so in eash-and the proposition was
accepted. This ends the case and leaves
all good friends and we sincerely hops
that the dear girl VIII soon be better Of
her catarrh, and that her cork foot may
not stand in the way of another loving
