E. S. Belle and wife came to Pitts
vile Friday and started to house
keeping in the rooms above store
lately vacated by Aug. Heuer. About
s o'clock Friday evening rotary saws
and COW bells began to make their
appearance around to four corners,
soon after cross cut saws, tin pals
and frying pans appeared upon the
scene, they Immediately held mass
meeting at which song were sung
and speeches made in regard to the
steps to be taken during the night.
Rotary saw moved that Mr.. Cannon
be invited TO open TIE performance
and an amendment was made to this
by Mr. Fryingpan to have Cannon ask
in his subordinates, viz. shot guns
and revOIyers. The motion was lost,
SO they all assembled at Smith Bros
saloon, then marched in front of E. 5.
Bells residence and sounded a blast
that broke up the ice in Yellow River
and continued to blast until Mr.. Bell
came down and unlOaded a box Of
Hayana'S and then started for Smith
Bros and said in those low, sweet,
harmonious, melOdiOuS tones, ''S4 IN
beer. drink hearty boys. Some
people came in from the surrounding
town the next day and wanted to
know if we heard England fall last
night. Some said they heard the
interest accommodating on their
mortgage, some one asked if DOud was
moving his hardware store. But r.. 5.
Bell thought at first that the bottom
Of HadiS had dropped down in front
of his store.
There are certain people in this
town who are labOring under a wrong
impression in regard TO the writer of
these articles, being under the inSplra-
ton Of Mr. W. There are some
here who believe him to be an oracle
and will not enter into anything With
out first finding out whether it would
please his holiness or not. Is 1t
possible that there are some people
who have to have switch board con-
nectiOnS with this oracle before they
would know enough to think or act.
Ii some of these people were awakened
suddenly from dream and asked who
made the world they would reply,
IF. S. W" Now, we are sorry
that anyone would accuse the writer
Of being inspired and we hope in the
future that those who are under the
oracle will refrain from yOicing
opinions until they become same.

There was a Mallenial Dawn speaker
here last week who informed us that
we would live again and all dead
people would come back to earth again
in 1914. J. g. will perhaps be the
only man to town that will remember
Adam as he looked in early pioneer
days. They will no doubt have a very
pleasant meeting after Adam eats his
first meal for 5000 years.
