preacher that he can whistle up and
sick on his opponents whenever he
pleases, and the proprietor of the
News is SO proud of his yellow pet
that he keeps it Consistently on exhib-
ition. The aforesaid yellow is also
80 stuck on itself that it fears some
of its brilliant yelpings may be cred
tied to some one else, SO every time
he takes a breath he signs N. NJ. E
in big capital letters. This stands
for "ms" just as he, in his oonceit,
feels it, with big double NJ.
This bird of passage has been wan
dering over the west for some years
in Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska and
now Lamar, scenting . chance to
secure little easy tainted money as
unerringly as q buzzard flies to the
carrion; and tho fact that he has
taken editorial charge of the prohib-
ition campaign in this city is EVIL
dence conclusive as 10 which side
has been tapping the barrel"
In a recent issue he stated that the
Register had only recently decided
which side to take in this campaign,
but as early as the second week in
January he had discovered oui posi-
ton sufficiently we'll to offer to trans.
fer his affections for the campaign
for valuable consideration.
In this connection it might be we'll
to give certain local physicians"
credit for q very remarkable medical
feat. The News was at very low
state at that time suffering with an
aggravated case Of modification in
its ministerial appendix, and its re-
moval was deemed necessary. How
ever, "Drs" w. and T. of the finance
committee were called in and after
consultation applied q poultice of
golden ointment to the mortified sp-
pendix and then administered long
green tonic to the editorial vacuum.
The effect was instantaneous; the
modification disappeared and the
editorial vacuum assumed q visible
grin, sicklied Ger with deep yellow
cast.
Since then the reverend mud sling
or has taken on new life, and has
hardly missed an issue that he has
not been pouring out his slanderous
attacks on the town of Lamar and
many Of it's citizens. When called
to task he lsmelv says Lamar is q
good town but he wants to make it
better. He can't point out q single
article of his in the last three months
that would indicate that this was any
thing but den Of vice and criminals;
and certainly what ever the conditions
they could not be improved by any
such ISLANDERS as he is constantly
hnrling at every one who opposes the
cause he has been hired 10 espouse.
He asks us some questions about
bawdy houses, but we will have to
refer the matter back to him, as al
though we have lived here almost as
many years as he has weeks we have
never yet become intimate enough
with "Red Light Queen" to quotS
her opinions, as he did recently. He
seems to be able to tell the number
and location of these places and about
the only information he fails to give
is whether he made the discoveries
in his ministerial or reportorisl cap
acity.
In Fridays issue he states that he
was visiting in certain office in the
city when Mexican came in for his
pay 6S COlOhlZou NoSoky ohl Woo
much chargined to fud he was in the
wrong office. Now everyone knows
that the office he losfs in there, is
the headquarters of the prohibition
finance committee; and also that
Mexican makes no mistakes when
going after money, however ignorant
he may be on other subjects. He
knew he was in the right place and
his ehargin was due entirely to the
fact that he recognized IN the rev
erend gentleman fellow seeker after
some of the easy money, who had
beat him to it.
1t will be noticed, to use his own
brilliant expression, that he me
where makes no denial" Of the charge
that he sold himself to both sides Of
a prohibition campaign in Nebrssks,
