The "Cute" City Daily.

Doesn't it make you weary to
read the rot of those rattlebrain
idiots of the Chicago press who are
repeatedly ridiculing the country
papers on their locals?
These 2 by lunch counter fiends
think it awfully funny when some
country newspapers says, Hiram
Slocum has sold his Holstein COW to
Ed Childress." But of course it is
just the proper caper when they
say, Mrs. Franklin Oliver Lowden
has just returned from the EPSON
Lorlmer kennels" Oh, that's great!
That bull pup would bring about
80 cents in the dog pound, while
Slocum's COW would sell for $50 in
the dark.
It's frghtfully ridiculous to re-
port that Tom Davis went over to
Guard Point to see his best girl
throw shoe. but if William Henry
Harrison Puke the society leader,
was in Milwaukee to see Miss Gertie
Pabst they would slobber over half
a column and have three pictures
of Gertie and William Henry on
the front page. That's all right!

No Trains on Chicago Milwaukee & St
fA Paul.

The tracks of the Chicago Mil
waukee & St. Paul are under water
between Wauzeka and Bridgeport
distance of about five miles. Nc
train from the east has arrived
since last evening and none has
gone out this morning AS the
water has commenced to go down
the floods are not expected to be of
long duration. A number of farms
in this vicinity are under water and
considerable damage is done. The
water in the Mississippi is falling at
all points north but much of the
raise here is caused by the back
water of the Wisconsin.
The report this morning was that
the Wisconsin was still raising at
Bridgeport and that there are num-
erous washouts along the line COW
cred by the river.

-Laziness is a disease almost as
bad as small pox and should be
qua1antined. Some time rich men
can afford to be lazy but when a
young man is lazy and his mother
has to make his living by the wash
tub route he should be quarantined
by the authorities as he may spread
the disease germs and the city and
state will suffer.
