PRowHlskERs CLUB FORMED.
s'rls at Harrisburg, Neb., to Reject
All Beardless Men.

harrisburg, Neb.-A number OF
young society women OF this western
Nebraska town have formed a pro
Whiskers society and have signed an
agreement which binds them solemn.
ly to discourage attentions from
young, middle aged or old men who do
not wear boards and not under any
circumstances to marry men of any
age Who do not wear full boards.
lhey read a newspaper story re-
Gently to the effect that the girls of
another town had agreed not to per
NIT men who wore boards to paw
court to them. The Harrisburg girls
say that their sisters in the other
town have assumed a wrong attitude
toward the whiskers question and that
they themselves have taken the cor.
rect and patriotic stand.
They maintain stoutly that men
with whlskers are handsomer and
every way more acceptable as lovers
husbands and fathers than are men
without them: that in earlier times il
was almost the universal custom In
this country for men to wear ful
boards and that such boards were
then regarded as genuine ornaments
but that through ridicule the good OLE
custom has been made obsolete.
They say that they have formed
their society and signed an agree
ment not to encourage attentions from
beardless men and not in any even
to marry men without full boards Il
order to reestablish the good old Gus
tom of wearing full boards

BRILLIANT ADDRESS


Jackson, Miss, Dec. 6.-This city
is wild with excitement over the DIS
covery Of gas in the heart of the city.
While digging an artesian we'll on
the Edwards House premises, close
to the Illinois Central depot, warn,
water flowed at the rate sof 400 gal
Ions a minute. Accompanying the
water is strong discharge OF gas
which burns in steady flame. Fur
ther tests are to be made.
The discovery has caused the Wild
est speculation on the part of the
Citizens. Already there is talk OF
fornieg gas company to- drill wells
III other parts of the city, and the
frenzy has seized nearly every in
habitant. If the well holds out any
length of time. it is believed that tn,
prospects are favorable for furthei
proving OF gas wells, and the result
of the test of this we'll is AWAITED
with great interest.
