That crowd of gold seekers IN
Alaska would make grand army for
Uncle Sam to take to Cuba and we
should send ships after them imme-
diatelv. 1t would be rare chance for
the boys TO get away from the Klon-
dixie free of cost. They had just as
well sell their clothing before leaving
Alaska, as it is so warm in Cuba that
clothes are not necessity; but they
could keep their rifles for future
reference.
-FeLnimore Times; Robt. Cohen
Brought to this office Monday morn
ing the remains of an old hook of log
chain. which he says the saw struck
while he was cutting up that large
saw-log which came from the tree H.
II. Earl planted half century ago
How the hook came TO be in the tree
is mystery and can only be account
ed for by the growth of the tree all
these long years-it has grown right
over the hook.
Now that all first-class cities are
getting ready for war, Lancaster
should fall in line. OF course the
Spanish war feet will come up the
Mississippi river and up Grant river
and up Pigeon creek. The city coun-
ell can appoint John Miles and Dick
Huftil and other veteran batterymen to
take the two canon from the court
yard and mount them on cemetery
hill so as to sweep everything from
the electric light power house to Pig
con bridge. We could mine the
mouth of Pigeon creek; but that
would stop all the fun.
