The End Of the World.

The dissipated career of the Ninita
World, authorized capita So 900 fully
paid up") and ali, was brought to an
inglorious end last week by its credi-
tors the day before issue. Friday
morning the attorneys for Lee Mills,
ex-editor, took charge of The Office un-
der chattel mortgage but left il in
the hands of Mr.. Pitchky, the printer.
\ few hours later the Great Western
Type Foundry representative arrived
from Kansas City and attached the
outfit for $lG0, locked it up, and thus
matters stand with this windy Won
der at the present time. Row about
that "$2. 900 fully paid up" The in.
voice attached to the type foundry's
mortgage (there are said TO be three
sLch instruments IN existence) shows
that the outfit was listed at SG0l 80
The actual cost, figuring of the dis
counts, was probably $3.50 Printers
and paper houses have claims in pro
fusion, but they are not likely to be
satisfied. A very few parties have
subscribed aud paid for the paper and
also paid for brands and other adyer-
tising in its columns. Perhaps their
experience is worth what il has cost;
it is theirs at any rate. The reason
given ont last spring why new cylin-
der press was not bought for printing

up and then its press could he

graph conpany's attorney were IN ei-
feet that the plaintli was entitled to
nominal damages, but nothing more
than that; that the company would be
liable for the services Of the physician,
for the plaintiffs board during his
sickness, and for expenses OF that
character. The defense, IL is said, was
prepared to prove that the form Of

than seven drug stores In Ft. smith.
This point, had the case gone TO trial,

the evil complained Of, The judgment
of the patrons OF the telegraph com
pany in this country will oe that any
one having occasion to use the wires
is entitled to damages. There is no
such thing here as telegraph service,
and the sign boards ought all to be
taken in. The wires and operators are
generally busy with train orders, and
private telegram has good chance
of being sent when there is nothing
else to do, and Of being delivered when
ever il comes handy, and not before.
The reason given for the negligence in
delay of delivery is that the telegraph
company pays nothing for this ser
vice. If this be the case the operator
is not to be blamed so much as the
company, but we surmise vigorous
'kick" all along the line will do con.
