1t was before the curtain rose on
"Old Kentucky" last Tuesday even
ing. A note was passed up to several
ladies asking them to remove their
hats because the senders wanted to
see tho high kicker kick. 1t came
back with the reply that the "high
kicker will not kick this evening""

as they were about to do when their
jocular friends sent them the note.
G. Foster Moore, the advance agent
of Thompson's Comedians, is one of
the most active advance men we have
ever seen. 1t was no fault of Mr..
Moore's that the horizon at the four
points of the compass was not decor
ated with bills to let people know
that Thompson's Comedians were
coming to Redwood. Every town in
the vicinity was billed. Mr.. Moore is
clever and gentlemanly, and knows
the other work connected with an adj
vance.
The year just passed has been the
hardest one upon the newspapers,that
they have experienced since 1869, says
the Press and Printer. Very few news
papers have gained in circulation, and
most have lost very heavily. About
one-half of the newspapers and other
publications in the United States have
decreased in size the past year. The
number that have suspended publ
cation is not definitely known, but ii
is known that owing to decreased size
and suspensions, there is 40 per cent
less white paper of the news class
used than was the case one year ago
The number of newspapers published
to-day in the United States is 10 pei
cent less than in 1898, the first year il
Is years that the statistics have shown
a decrease.

train had not pulled out of Morgan
All of sudden the two ladies' discov

Of stove in the passenger coach
They called for conductor,
"Hughes," "Tom," and "Mr. Hughes,
but without bringing the clever con
ductor to the rescue. Bravely the tw,
young ladies then rushed to the stow
and discovered broom on fire. On
of them, an ex-member of the Red
wood broom brigade, seized the latter
and when the other had opened tn
door, threw it out, apparently on tn
track. But alas, about that time
person having luxuriant beard hap
pened to pass, and the burning broom
struck the much admired beard. Tn
result was loss of about one half O
the latter and threats of suit to recov
err damages against the railway com
pany, before the broom and whisker
were extinguished. The young ladie
were heroines just the same.
Archie Howe, of the town of Vest;
or Granite Rock, dropped into tn
GAZETTE office last Thursday evening
with three chunks of coal in his peck
ct, which he removed from the latte
and placed on the editorial desk. The
