Miss Matilda Moser, daughter Of

died suddenly of heart failure Monday
afternoon.
Miss Beirschbach was at the home of
Mrs @. A. Wells in this city engaged
in sewing when about 2 o'clock without
much warning death tapped at her door
and her soul departed into the hands of
its Maker. 1t was indeed sad blow to
the family to have such news arrive at
their home without word to prepare
them.
The deceased was born at Bristol,
December 20, 1885. where she lived
until coming to this city some months
ago. The funeral was held at Bristol
Wednesday and the remains laid to rest
in the Catholic cemetery amidst the
contributions of flowers given by the
lady's numberless friends who extend
their sympathy to the bereaved rela-
tives.

Gradually he tangles more and

singular "his". but still meaning

Then he says he would resent the

are in reality most interested in
trying TO have a decent newspaper
in Tabor. Thank you for the
compliment-yop have too much
respect for the truth. and il you
would resent the attacks you
could not have respect for the
truth-quite logical. Then he
proceeds to show his readers that
a lie remains a lie. he denies the
event where the publisher of the
Ledger had to apologize for his
(Killon's) folly. This is what he
puts up as an excuse:
This is nefarious lie. Had

pose of avoiding what was said

thought he was getting man

We intentionly in our last article
spelled the word grammar gram

something about it and found out
that he is able to spell it correct
ly, and that is the limit of his
knowledge of grammar. Then
he queries what twas" means.
Well, we do not care to explain

SHAKESPEARE, Longfellow. Milton,
Scott, Byron, Bacon, and others
used this word witnout.asking the
light of wisdom. Bro. Killion,
what it meant and we done the
same.
So far you have been pointing
out our typographical errors, to
which no newspaper is immune,
not even your star rag, but we can
show you grammatical errors as
thick and plenty as fcas on dog
in your own sheet, which you are
making repeatedly; such as "oi
the enormity OF the caliber of the
ignoramous, close proximity" and

and hundreds of other glaring
samples Of your stupidity which
show that you never saw book
termed grammar.
To make an end to this useless
arguing with someone who never
changes his mind because he is
not wise, and who being defeated
in every controversy repeatedly
jumps at something else just TO
have something to say, we wish to
close up and give Bro. Killion a
chance TO recover from the severe
blow he received, and assure him
that we enjoyed his somersaults
and clown-lIke action. The bump

journalistic ring was also enjoyed
by his readers. We therefore, end
and hope that all those who took

got their moneys worth and are
satisfied.

We are very sorry that our ar
ticle of two weeks ago was the
cause of Editor Killion making a
public exhibition of his ignorance
and the webbing foundation of
his intelligence and poor know
ledge of grammar, His nonsens-
ical article of the week previous
TO the somersault of last week
confirmed the supposition enter
tanned by his readers (which arc
plenty, that his mind is unbal-
anced, and that the once resource
full writer OF blank phrases and
confused paragraphs has plainly
shown that he is qualified can.
didate for lunatic asylum. that
he is ripe and matured in idiocy.
In his spell he added many new
words to the language of rufiians
and the deprayed. or course,
his readers do not blame him. but
pity him. as he is as unfortunate
as the rest of men whose upper
story was wrecked by cyclone
of insanity.
AT first we kicked ourselves for
compelling him 10 commit mental
suicide, but upon looking through
back numbers Of his rag, (which
usually travels, unread, into an
isolated back-house) we found
out that he had already done this
few years ago when his career
as a quill pusher had begun. This
was one satisfaction OF our con-
science that we arc NJ, to blame
Tor his mon compos mentis" con-
dition. Such being the case, con-
sequently no one ever expected
any logic or sense in any OF his
articles-nor ever will.
His sickly article OF last week
which was partly an apology to
the business men OF Tabor; partly
an abusive epistle in our favor,
but as a whole a wreck Of thought
and grammar and a pool OF mud,
has conferred upon the hero OF
our story the knighthood of buff
foonery and upon his diminutivc.
forehead impressed the sign of
Ounce.
We much desired 10 end this
skirmish with our last article, bat
killion, who is known under the
nickname editor, wrote some
more indigestible stuff for his
readers, plainly owning up that
he was defeated in every sentence
This can be seen in his confessions:
Were il not for the fact that
Editor pvorak never produced
the article, and that it is the
composition of Tool, ETC., We
would resent some of their SLAM
derous attacks upon us.
Or in other words, he confessed
that he met his waterloo. What
difference would it make IL Editor
! Dvorak had produced the article:
The principle of it would remain
the same, and il il lacked veracity
it was Bro. Killion's duty to re-
sent the "slanderous attacks" re-
CARELESS of who was the author.
Such illusions were heard be-
fore this from controvcrsialists
who after being defeated accused
someone else Of defeating them.
And such is the case with Editor
Killion. At the beginning he was
full of fight, but when he received
a knock out blow he could not
believe. that il was Editor Dvorak
who dealt il. His poor conccp-
ton OF logic and consistency can
be seen in the following: He
claims that there vas a slanderous
attack made upon him obysome-
body. Further on he talks about
"authors" and persons" as those
who made the attack; then again
y hs awakes and guesses that il
