Clarksburg has enjoyed the most
prosperous year of its history the
past twelve months. Every thing
and every body have advanced and
become greater. With the right
sort of spirit still greater things
can be done this year. There should
be no designs against the future Of
the city. None should willingly do
an act or cause a dissension that will
retard the city's advancement. There
should be no iealousies or earpings.
There should not be countenanccd
any effort, however slight to bring
about wrangling and internal dis
sensions, but every one should 60 to
work in earnest to boost and advance
The city and its enterprises. Every
one should feel hopeful and NOT try

until March and the Northwestern will
not have an auction sale of lots until
some time in the spring, which renders
it almost impossible to accommodate

tidently expected, however, that on the
first day of the auction sale of lots in
Midland the receipts will mount up to
about the sum of $4,000. This is
nothing strange, however, as the first

town of Presho, in Lyman county, a

Property Owners Meet and
Talk Over the Raising
of the Grade.
Much Argument on Both Sides
But Nothing Was the
Result.

I'd MONDAY evening at O'CLOCK was u e
time set by the mayor for the big meet
& ing OF taxpayers and citizens at the
courthouse for the purpose of discuss
ing and settling, if possible the vexa-
& tious question as to whether the grade
d OF 1885, or 1889, should be the estab-
lished level upon which future build
ing operations OH the flat should con-
tinue, with all the side.issues the ques.
| ton naturally involved
The court room was filled to the aisles
and doors with about as representa-
tive a class Of citizens and property
owners as could be gathered together
under such call Quite number of
lady property owners were present, to
hear the discussion, and vote their sen
timents, if need be.
Mayor Ewert stated the object of his
CALL and used extracts from the council
proceedings and official records to show
why it was necessary. John l. Newell
moved that the mayor act as chairman,
and Mr.. Newell was then made secre-
tary.
9. G. Bennett took the floor and in
an able argument presented the case of
the property owners who were resisting
the grade of 1889, and showed why, in
his judgment and those who agreed
with him, that the 1885 grade was a
sufficient elevation for the needs of the
property on the flat for all time to come.
His statement of the case was listened
to with the closest attention, and was
really a footing up of all the opposition
to the ordinance which seeks to compel
property owners on the fiat to raise
their buildings to the grade established
over fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Benefits remarks were rein
forced by talk from taxpayers like
Chas.: L. Hyde, l. w. Goodner, and
others equally conversant with the
matter, and replied to by Chas. e, De.
Land, the mayor, L. II. Glow, and nu-
merous others.
Finally Albert Gunderson made a

court, for the purpose of raising the
grade to that established in 1889, be dis
pensed with, as the sense of the meet
ing which received a second, and pre-
cipitated fresh consignment Of argu-
ment and oratory. John Newell then
presented type written copy Of reso-
buttons, which he moved as Il substi.
tute for the Gunderson motion, which
in effect threw the matter back to the
city council to act as it thought best in
the premises being in reality a vote OF
confidence in the city dads. He moved
its adoption with vigorous speech,
and got a second. This again reopened
the floods of oratory in which all those
who spoke pro and con tried to excel.
Eventually, as the hands of the clock
pointed to almost midnight, and the
discussion promised no definite results,
some person moved to adjourn, which
carried with acclaim.

St. Louis fair, and who agreed to per-
as they don't wear any clothes to
speak of, and only eat dog week days,
and hope to get human being to
roast Oh Sunday, it seemed pretty
good bargain.
Well, the Indians got permission to
woods near the circus lot, and the
management got them wagon load
of corn, and they had built fire and
were roasting the corn, and dancing,
and pa didn't know about it, and just
after dark the Quaker who owned the
woods complained to pa, who was on
watch Sunday night, that his Indians
had got off the reservation and were
preparing to go on the warpath, and
he wanted them to get off his prem
ises. Pa said he would go right over
and drive them back to the tents.
tried to get pa to let the police go
and drive them OIL, but he said he
hadn't no time to go and wake up the
police, and they wouldn't get around
anyway before the middle of the
week. So pa took tent stake and
started for the green corn roast. The
Indians were taking turns dancing
and eating roasted corn, and they had
barrel of beer and knew enough
about Indians to keep away from
them when they mix beer with green
corn, for it has about the same eff
feet as committing suicide with car
bolic acid.
Pa put his hat on one side of his
head and went right into the midst
of the Indians, and grabbed a chief

Well, sir, that Indian had NO mora
than struck the fire in sitting posi-
ton, and filled the air with the odor
of fried buckskin, before the whole
tribe jumped on Pa, and they kicked
him with their moccasins, and were
going to murder him, while the chief
who acted as the burnt offering, got
out of the fire, and sat down in the
cold mud to cool himself. He field
up his hand as a signal for attention,
and he called council of war, while
the sauaws sat on pa to hold him
down.
The ooanaiEof War-sentenced pa to
be burned at the stake, and they tied
him to a tree and began to pile
sticks around him, and pa told me to

Ever since we knew the show was
billed for Philadelphia for Saturday,
and that we would have to stay over

symptoms of revolt Everybody
connected with the show has horror
of being found dead in Philadelphia.
They claim it is too dead for live peo-
pie, and not very satisfactory to dead
people.
A performer who was with the show
last year says that nobody but the
newspaper people who had free tick
cts attended the performances, and
some of them wouldn't go in the tent
unless the press agent promised to

stand on the corners when the parade
goes by, and never crack smile, or
act interested, and when the parade
has passed they go to the circus lot
and see the balloon ascension, and
stand on wagon wheels and try to
look over the side of the tent at the
performance, and then they kick be-
cause the audience on the back seats
cuts off their view from the wagon
wheels.
Last year our show killed a Quaker,
and the community is down on us.
The Quaker got in the show because
he owned half inch of ground that
its tents were on, and he stood right
by the ring, and when the champion
female rider was suspended in the air
between two bareback horses, he
leaned over too far inside the ring,
and she kicked his hat clear I'D to the
roof of the tent, and a female trapaze
performer up there caught it and sat
down on it on the trapeze The old
Quaker had heart disease and fell
dead What the Qaa&ers complained
Of was that after tne Quaker's re-
mains had been removed from the
ring, that the s,,o@ went right on.

Ordinarily it may be quiet enough
in Philadelphia on Sunday, but pa
found that he had more of run for
his money than at any place we have
been so far. We have had a tribe of
Indians with our wild west depart
ment all summer, and pa has not
stood very well with the Indians since
he was in charge of the show at Fort
Wayne, and they all got drunk, and he
had them tied UP to the poles around
the ring until they got sober. They

told the hands, who were sleeping
under the seats or playing cards on
the trunks that the Indians were

the hands said that would serve him
right, and the fellows that were pIay.

they would burn pa alive.
Just then the man who had charge
OF our cannibalsI who each had dog
that they were boxing for a place to
roast, came along and / told him about
the Indians corn roast, and he ordered
the cannibals to 20 drive the Indians
away from their fire and roast their
dogs. Well, it worked like a charm,
and the cannibali made rush for the
Indians and drove them away just as
they had lighted the fire around pa,
and we were net minute too soon.
After the Indians had skedaddled for
the woods, and Fe cut the cords that
bound pa, the cahnibals went to work
and sllun the dogs, and began to cook
them, and pa looked on, until 1t made
him squirmish, but he was so tickled
at being saved ffom the Indians, that
he tried to be a good fellow with the
cannibals. | guess it would have been
all right, only the cannibals got to
drinking the Philadelphia beer, and
then 1t was all off, cause roast dog
wasn't good enough for them, and
they wanted to roast, pa.
First they offered pa dog to eat, but
he had swore off on dog, and passed
on 1t. and that made the cannibals
mad, and they got ready to roast pa,
and guess they would have eaten
