the purchase of Indian tea at dollar a
bottle.

ton, presumably in the interest of the
| farmers.
That sugar will be delivered to our
merchants after the first of April for Al
cents per pound. This will enable them
to sell eighteen pounds for a dollar,
| and will prove to be quite favorable
commentary on the Mckinley bill.
That there are good many people
to whom an offer to pull teeth free of
charge is enough of bait to induce
them to pay a dollar for bottle of
medicine, the properties or healing
qualities of which they know about as
much as they do of the course of the
Estars. .s.-. ~
That little knot of citizens, gathered
at the City Drug Store on Wednesday
evening, expressed more and better
ideas on usurY, taxation and Office
holding than have been aired by all our
Legislators in sixty days. What a pity
it is that our best and soundest men
cannot be selected to formulate our
laws!
That a cold water club has been or
ganized among a few of the frequerters
of Turner Hall for the purpose of de-
monstrating that the excessive use OF
water is similar in it's effects to those
following nine days drunk. It is no
uncommon occurrence for individual
members of this club to drink from so
to Is cents worth of water, in. single
evening.
That Charles Heideman had prepared
to recite the platforms of all the parties
of twenty different states, and to quote
the prices of goods for the last thirty
years in order to carry lis point in the
proposed tariff discussion between him

That about twenty of the young
men-clerks, not dudes,-are endeavor-

Hall. The young men are certainly to
be commended on their choice of exer-
| else, for in the winter time it is far pre-
ferable to the arduous task Of saving
wood. AS a mutual admiration club
too-admiration for each others skill
full and graceful feats on the horizontal
bar-it is splendid thing for these
who be.ong.
That prominent citizen of this town,
an office holder who is respected, be-
3lieves with Senator PETER of Kansas
that no interest should be charged on
money, or in other words that money.
loaners should be in the business for the
sake of accommodating others. That man
evidently does more borrowing than
lending. or else has decided leaning
towards Improbable charity. He may
believe, however, that there is reward
for such accommodating men somewhere
in the other world. This world certain
" lsn't grateful enough to appreciate
their worth.
That the COW question will enter
largely into the coming city election.
Railroad bonds. it is true. are to be yo-
ted upon, and the next city council will
be compelled to attend to the grading
Of streets, the extension of water works
and the establishment of a good system
of sewerage, but all these matters, usu-
ally of such import, are to be subordI-
mated, made side issue in fact, to the
momentous question Of permitting
cows to run at large on the streets
through all the charging seasons Of the
year. The city poundmaster has been
faithfully tending to his duties OF late.
