1t is not yet definitely decided
whether Mr.. Fowler will try to
Chadwick the people of this
town with a Wenatchee printed
newspaper. He Chadwicked the
good people of the valley where
the apples grow red on the trees
out of 2 goodly number of ten
dollar bills by printing their pic
lures in the Republic, and this
same graft might be worked
here, ii he lived in Leavenworth
and spent his money here, but to
be funneled into Wenatchee,
they will not stand for.

A crank came into the printing office
and said that man had swallowed
a foot rule and died by inches. The
editor left at once to learn further
particulars of the death and meeting
Dr.. Phillips told him about the case
He said it was nothing as he had a
patient once who swallowed thermom-
eter and died by degrees. A couple
of bystanders just then Clipped in.
One of them said it reminded him of "A
fellow down in Kansas who swallowed
a pistol and went off easy. The other
one said he had friend who took a
quart of whiskey and died in good
spirits.

ROCKY ROAD TO TRAVEL.

The road travelled by the aver
age country editor is strewn
with thorns rather than flowers.
If he Inadvertently forgets to
mention the arrival of a new
baby at the home of John Smith,
as the editor of this paper did a
short time ago, he is told that he
mentions the name of every lit
tie red faced baby in the country
but John Smiths. If he men
tons party at the Jones Civ
ing the names of those who
graced the occasion with their
presence, it is borne ineon him
from some mysterious source
that he is liable to loose the
good will of the whole Jones
connection, as they did not want
that particular party mentioned
in the paper; it was just a quiet
affair, and some people, who
were not invited, will get mad
because their names are not in
the list, and you know the Jones'
can not afford to offend anybody
they are in business. Then the
Browns will have party, and
through an oversight, an account
of the affair is left out of the
paper and the Browns will have
o grievance. He is threatened
with the loss of the patronage of
the tribe of Browns.
Talk about your fowery beds
of ease if you want TO, but they
are not for the country editor.
If he continues to send his sub
scribers the paper after the sub
scription expires he is told he
should have stopped the paper.
The next time he stops the paper
and that fellow comes in as mad
as March hare, and reminds
the editor that he is one of his
oldest subscribers, aud has al
ways paid for his paper in adj
vance, and just because he neg
lected to pay for it on the very
day it was due he stopped it,
but now he can keep his old
paper.
Oh yes, running a country
newspaper is a picnic, every
day.
Not long since the editor of
this paper offended one of its
most highly valued patrons,
quite Intentionally, in trying to
do little humorous stunt, and
lost his patronage.
However, the country editor
has one compensating reflection.
He is sure of his reward in the
hereafter. He may wear a
crown of thorns in this world,
but he will have a harp in the
world to come.

Lack of track room was re-
sponsible for the death of Espido
Takenaka, the Jap who was kill
ed last Tuesday at the depot.
Had there been enough track
room it would not have been nee
essary to run trains between the
depot and the town during the
time people were going to the
depot to get on trains. The un-
fortunate accident happened at a
crossing used by the public in
going to the depot to take trains.
1t occurred at an hour when
both the east and west bound
trains are supposed to be at the
depot, and the public have Alright
to suppose the way is both clear
and safe. The public is not
charged with the responsibility
of exercising more than ordi'
nary care under these circum-
stances.

Was over, MIR. Seigrist was given the
rank OF. Page. In the evening after the
night performance he got the other
two ranks, Esquire and Knight,
which were conferred by the degree
team. There were perhaps a dozen
Knights from the circus in attend
ance, and they represented lodges
from n coast to the other. The
circus Knights complimented the
team highly on the work done.
Mr. Seigrist is one of the ten
members of the seigrist- silbon
troupe Of aerialists, doing some very
clever work on the trapeze in the
latter part of the show. In the per-
Torrance i'm the evening MI. Seigrist
wore the tri-colors of Damascus
lodge, the ribbons being attached at
the shoulder and his waist. Mr..
SeiErist is a man 80 years old and has
been i'm the circus business nearly all
his life and is a gentleman of high
character. Before quitting the lodge
room Mr.. Seigrist wanted to pay up
a life membership in tbe lodge, but
t his was not permissible, and he
paid up a years dues, and will al
ways retain his membership in the
Mitchell lodge.

when they met II. r. Williams, gen.

intendent Collins, and they went on
to Chamberlain to ! ok over the work
of the extension of the Milwaukee
system. This is the first time that
general manager Williams and Assist
ant General superintendent Sewall
have been out to Chamberlain in
some time, and now that the rails
have been laid across the bridge over
the Missouri they are anxious to see
the work pushed on just as fast as
possible.

Vicious With a Weapon.

Adolph Heck, who resides down
near Etaan, cut quite a figure with
a pump handle at a dance he gave
last Tuesday night. He had a key OF
beer on tap and in the process OF
drawing the amber fluid a fifteen
cent faucett was broken by one Of
the party, and Heck insisted that
they pay for it. The men declined to
stand for bis avalice, and Heck pro
ceeded to try and demolish the crowd
of eight or ten men. He got a pump
handle and waded into the bunch,
breaking the arm and wrist of n
man, crushing the skull OF another
while the rest of them got off with
less serious injuries, most Of which
consisted Of broken ribs. The worst
injured of the party is unable to
leave nome on account of his injuries
to make a complaint against Heck,
but 1T is very likely that he will bo
arrested. Heck was in town late yea
terday afternoon and retained Pres.
ton & Hannett as bis attorneys, evf-

THE CENSUS ANALYzED
How the Population is Distributed
Over the City in the Various
Wards.


/. Separating the figures Of the census
Of Mitchell gives some interesting
information as to the population OF
the wards, the number of males and
females, and some other statistics as
10 ages, etc.
The population is given at 5 7ls, OF
which there are 2,9l2 females and
2 ,S06 males, which indicates there is
room for more men IN Mitchell.
Divided into wards the pop llation
runs about as follows:

females.
In the second ward the population

Thos. seigrist, One of the Leadin.
Acrobats of Circus, Joined
Knights of Pythias.

The Knights o Pythias had a ses-
sion which lasted until midnight
Thursday and for the warm night
there was a large attendance. The
occasion for the special meeting was
the making of a Knight of Thos.
Seigrist, n of the leading acrol)ats
of Barnum s. Bailey's circus. Mr..
Seigrist's home is in London, Eng
land, where there is no such order
and he had expressed a desire to be-
come a Knight Jack Mclaughlin pre-
vailed upon him to wait until he got
to Mitchell and the local lodge would
give him his moneys worth. The
arrangements were all made previous
to the coming of the circus, and in
the afternoon, after the performance

from the east and south, and D
from the north aside FROM the regular
train, which came in a short time
after. -Four trains were sent out in
the afternoon at 6 O'Clock to take the
crowds home. The Omaha also
brought in d large number Of extra
people from their line east. 1t was
the largest outside crowd ever
brought to Mitchell for a circus.
1t was blisrering hot in the circus
tent with the thermometer at 80 in
the shade. The vendors nearly run
out of fans and the announcer made
a reduction on the price Of lemonade,
and still made a profit.
Many remarks OF disappointment
were heard because of the absence of
the parade, end it seemed like a
long tedious time to wait for the OPP
ening hour Of the performance. The
merchants said they found business
to be better because there was no
parade.
The hacks made good money in
hauling people out to the show
grounds, but the drivers were un-
able to cope with the crowd coming
back, as everybody wanted to make
the trip at the same time.
J W1en Z. Fl. Clark, of Letcher, was
Dbbed of his $1,000 in mortgage

WAS A GREAT SHOW DAY
With the Temperature Ranging up
to 80 in the Shade It Was
an Ideal Circus Day.

The Barnum & Bailey show pulled
out OF town Thu rsday, the last train
getting away a little after midnight.
The evening performance began
promptly at ! O'Clock before an aud
fence that looked quite lonesome In
the massive tent, and the people were
scattered here and there through the
seats. From the fact that the tent
was filled to nearly its entire capac-
ity at the afternoon performance and
that the people sat there and swelt-
cred and fumed over the intense heat
was sufficient to pull down the night
attendance to a nominal figure.
Notwithstanding the small crowd the
main features Of the performance
were given just the same. De Tiers
made her "dip of death" in the early
part of tue program SO that the para
%phernalia could be taken down in
time for loading, and the show was
practically over before it was all re-
moved.
Those who stayed for the concert
were let down as usual, but lots OF
people think that the day or night is
not complete without remaining over
to the show concert. When the last
of the four songs was given the boss
blew his whistle end the outside wall
OF the big tent vas dropped and in a
very short space of time the big tent
was dropped to the ground, loaded in
the wagons and hustled off to the
train. Many peonle waited around
to see the last work being done, and
it was interesting to watch the forms
of the laborers rushing to and fro,
picking up the last remnant of the
circus belongings. and it is a remark
able fact that a person can go on the
show grounds the next morning and
not tind a stick o. a stitch that was
left behind.
There was quite a crowd went to
the Milwaukee railroad yards to
watch the process of loading the
cars with the wagons, and the people
stayed until tie last train pulled out
for Sioux Falls.
