We understand that one Jealous Pro
hlbitionist offered a one-half key of
beer as an incentive to the faction, if
all went well. The beer has not been
placed on tap. The results were not
satisfactory. Now it is in order to

action with calmness, feeling assured
that punishment will be certain.
The revenge policy did not work
smoothly at the city election on Tues
day. A large element in the Republi-

local poet
Revenge is sweet, but, o how bitter
10 seek Revenge and then not git 'er!
