'A'ou 0OoIS. NIuu., way lO.--
Some one has been kind enough to
send me copy CT the Sissoton News
OF last week, otherwise / might not
have seen the constipation of ideas
aud chrome dlarrhea OF words with
which the News inflicted long suf-
fering public, as the News is not
much read just now in MINNEAPOLIS,
1t may be that in time Mosher and
some OF the boxers will recover from
the recent total immersion IN colo
chill from the effects of the late city
election, and when he does recover 1T
NAV be that new idea will pene-
trate the cavity where Mosher's BRAN
Is supposed to be, that is If he recov-
ers. Psychologists tell us that shocks
are apt to set up nerve ganglion
(spelling not guaranteed) and BRAIN

anyway, Mosher had shock. Per-
haps as said the shock will start
the growth OF something IN tue way
Of brains, and he will come to realize
what q real, honest man IN the
mayors chair is, but l am afraid not
as the TRADE of abuse in last weeks
News against Mayor Rlckert wouldn't
indicate that such metamurphosi is
had set IN on Brer. Mosh.
Mosher would like to make people
think that great mans head was in
bis hat, and he tries to pass as d big
thing, but the people have sized him
up and found out how small an affair
he really is. Like Caesar Mosher
came, he saw-but did not conquer.
His city campaign was a ludicrous
nasco. He was going to turn things
topsy turvy in the city, elect his pets
complete the circle and have things
oil his own way. Did he do it9 Ask
US. Not only did he fail to elect any
Ut the. city officials but he lost the
few boxers that were on the school
board and that comes pretty nearly
being failure doesn't 1T? 1t made
the whole cohort of alleged reformers
look foolish and the News has since
been behaving as foolishlo as it look
ed, since Its VICTORIOUS defeat. He
must have taken a foolish powder.
Ever since election he has been howl.
Ing like bear with a sore head or
big yellow dog with wheel barrow

Dds fault with the administration
and isn't satisfied with the mayors
appointments, (thongh just how he
gets into the game it's hard to un-
derstand). He says there are some
very sore spots-presumab]y so, on
Mosher and his friends. There IS an
old and trite saying that you can tell
where the flea is on the dog by watch.
Ing the canine scratch. And If you
watch MOsher rub bis sore spots you
can tell where he is hurt. MIR.
Rickert has just begun his duties as
mayor ana is doing we'll except ia one
particular. he does not suit the editor
Ut the Sisseton News. Well, the rest
Of the people ought to love Rlckert
more because Of the enemies he has
made OF the Mosher stripe. Mosher
has never been able to see the meriJs
and superiorities in men, and he has
even lost the ability to discern what
Is good or even see things as they
are. For self.proclaimcd retormer
Musher is the prince of poseis. He
talks temperance and reform at home
sc0lds those In authority, but when
away from home his capacity for
storing away liquids Is said to be awe
inspiring and SIN and he can wrap
his system around more Indian laugh
ing-juice than the next man--in fact
he Is member in good standing of the
sag Builders association. He also has

cohorts seem to be annexlng several
tons. and Ut the coin OF the realm
