The plot of the farce, "What Hap
pened to Jones'" which is to be pre-
sented at the Emporium opera house,
Wednesday night, May 2, 1900, is eX-
tremely simple and it does not require
any tax upon the brain to follow its
course. A kindly old professor ofanat-
omy is persuaded reluctantly to attend
a boxing contest in the interest of
science. While there the place is raid
ed by the police, and the professor had
to slide down water spout to escape,
and he returns ragged and bruised.
To make matters worse he is accom-
panied home by one Jones, drummer,
who was at the contest and is trying
to escape the police. The professors
house is surrounded and to avoid ar
rest, Jones puts on a suit of clothes of
the Bishop of Ballarat, the professors
brother, who is expected on his first
visit to the family from Australia The
family enter, to explain the presence
Of Jones, the professor is obliged to in
troduce him as his brother, the bishop.
This leads to score of complications
and in the midst of them the real
bishop arrives. The fun RACES fast and
furious for two and one-half hours and
laughter is incessant. Reserved seats

Some Things the Editor Does Not
Publish

Editors are the first to hear of gossip,
Of scandal, indiscretion of men and wo-
men, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, clandestine meetings, night
buggy rides, young girls gone astray,
flirtations of married women, amours
of married men, and in fact all neigh.
borhood scandals. Editors generally
know of all the naughty doings in the
community, no matter how secret. If
half we hear was published, divorce
suits would follow in some cases, social
ostracism in others, shot guns and
lynchings, desolate homes, shame, hui
initiation and misery. The editor learns
much of the hypocracy Of life, and it is
wonder that he believes in anything
on earth or hereafter. People who
abuse the editor the loudest sometimes
owe their standing in society to his for
bearance. Osborne News

They Naturally Disagree.

Christian churches are prospecting
under Protection. Debts are being
lifted, new churches erected, pew rents
increased and plate offerings are more.
And yet certain Free-Trade papers are
actually declaring that Christianity
hourishes most in hard times and that
the religion OF Jesus fattens on misery
and privation. However, as the old
lady remarked when she found that st.
Paul was against her faith, "Paul and /
always did Disagree" and Free-Trade

Sinremahoniug [ lars Club.

The club met at the usual place and
in the absence of Hanscom, Johu John
son was appointed to fill the chair which
position he filled very satisfactorily.
Israel BaiIy, Pap Berfeld and Chas. Bel
din held secret session or the post-office
steps but nothing was learned of their
intentions. The club are expecting to
hear some whoppers from the above
named talent next meeting. Pap Blodget
was urged to let his name be used for
Assembly this fall, but refused on the
ground that it would ruin his reputation.
Alex. DeShetler held the floor for one
hour and seventy minutes and told his
story, 20, What Face, which clicited
hearty applause and he was declared fit to
receive the highest degree, which was
conferred on him by Tony Snyder and
Harvc Smith. Ike Bowen's application
for reinstatement was considered and
ballot taken, which resulted in a two
third vote for his reinstatement Bcdin
reported his visit to the county seat.
He said the Emporium club used him
well, and being their regular meeting
night. he was invited to attend. The
club met in Kackenmcister's ice house
with John Waddington in the chair,
quite little business being transacted,
the most important being a motion to
fine r. II. Hirsch, thirteen cents for
trying to work his new invention, known
as "the little giant" " composed ola spring
and sewing machine needle, supposed to
penetrate most anything but cast iron.
\ subject was prepared and after very
unsuccessful effort on this individual an
examination was made and it was found
to be a failure as it would not even
puncture sole leather. A lengthy debate
was had on the subject and the fine was
withdrawn, Mr.. Hirsch promising that
nothing of the kind should occur again
Mr. Beldin was asked if he had any
thing to say, and he made few brief re-
marks and said that Pap Blodget was
preparing to visit Emporium and he
would be able to face the best talent in
town. The meeting then adjourned.
