Mask bali by the Club, in

Mrs. Jos. Horton has been
quite ill during the past week,
but is somewhat improved at
this time.
Ned Bomar was thrown from a
horse in the eastern part of town
last Saturday. He received
few slight cuts about the face.
In the beginning God created
the heavens and earth. Then
He made the editor, and the lib
eral advertiser and prompt pay
ing subscribers, and it was good.
The next day a blizzard set in
and he created the man who
didn't believe in advertising and
another who didn't take his home
paper, then He rested. The devil
then got into the moulding room
and having few Jumps of
mouldy, pig-sty mud left, he
made the excuse for a man who
settles his subscription by in
structing his postmaster to mark
his paper Refused" and he felt
so mean about it that he has
been kicking himself ever since.
There is much newspaper talk
about fusion these days, many of
the silver papers are advocating
fusion while the republican pap
ers are afraid they will fuse.
Will they fuse? Of course they'll
fuse. What is the difference be-
tween, an administration repub-
lican and a national democrat +?
The same as a toad and tad
pole. They both believe in the
gold standard, and 'all the APP
purtances thereto" While the
Bryan democrats, silver republi-
cans and populists are a unit on
4 the leading national question.
Fuse 1? OF course they will.
\ You might as well try to- sweep
back the Mississippi river with
the tail feather of goose as to
try to prevent fusion during the
next campaign as above outlined.
1t will come as surely as the tax
! collector, and all the howling on
! the part of any man or set of
men cannot prevent it. t.-Salubria
