sailing for the Demo-pop nomination
for congress. This Jackson-Sapp
combination looks little formidable.
Fisher and Boschert both got back
from the Elk drive at Pittsburg this
time sober. They had their wives
with them.
Why don't somebody Jump up and
this spring? The Fourth ward has a
member of the schOolboard and two
councilmen to elect.
DR. Sweeney was seen out in his lot
last Saturday with churn drill Dor
ing holes down through the frozen
ground. On being questioned as to
what he was doing he stated that he

man Lentz is the next best running
mate for Bryan.
Henry Arnold has discovered that it
takes more than double strength WIN
dow glass to stop the flight of COB

The late cold snap frCze up the gas
wells and the city had to draw on the
Be- edlct reserve.
The school entertainment Saturday
night was we'll attended and was
quite financial success, the receipts
having been over $40, almost all of
which was clear.
The two or three school kids and
visitors from abroad who tried to
show their manhood at the school en-
tertainment the other night by let
ting on that they wanted to fight,
should be spanked right well by their
mothers and kept away from such
places till they learn to behave.
1t goes little tough with some Of
the consumers this month to pay for
what they did not get-Gas.
Still some of the Adkinsons in our
city claim we have no gas nOtwith-

IN which the Standard Oil company

Never mind Velma, be cOnsoled; the
mails are quite regular between here
and Chicago.

suon found out he had made mis-
take. The poor old innocent stove
was the principal sufferer.
The city council has ordered down
brick sidewalk. That is good move
and we all like to see the brick walk
go dUwn-when it is in front Of the
other fellows lot
1t looks a little as though the cOun.
Gil is standing in with the new brick
company, the way they order sidewalk
material. Now If they would just OF.
der Fourth street paved from one end
to the other, the enterprising men
who put their money into this plant
would have substantial encourage
ment worthy of their enterprise.
W d. Frisby may now enjoy pick
ing his teeth in the Oriental office,
but next summer, when Old Sol shoots
bis perpendicular rays and the mer-
curry stands along about ITO in the
shade, he is likely to sigh for the cool
shade and pleasant pine odOrs of his
beautiful home in the Fourth ward.
