A MEMBER OF THE MOB.

b stands for Bulletin
Brave champion of right:
How the guilty are squeaiing
As it turns on the light.
But the citizens Of Cairo,
To whom honor is dear,
Are rejoicing in heart
Because Thielecke is here.
And the women Of Cairo,
In the darkness Of dread,
See a rift in the clouds
Since there is one not afraid
To battle most Loyalty
In behalf of the right
Nor fears to be found
In the thick of the fight
Long life to Brave Thielecke
Who is using his pen
To deliver poor Cairo
From the rule of bad men.
The above was inspired by readn,
your noble editorials.

AN ACCESSORY.

Editor of The Bulletin: Some OF
the citizens of Cairo would like to
ask Chief Egan why the negress.
LOWE Green is not held as an ac-
complete to the crime of the murder
of Miss Policy, we always supposed
an accomplice was considered Just
as guilty as the criminal in case
of any kind of crime and especially
in this case where both the negro
murderers confessed she was impli-
Gated. Chief Egan please answer.
Respectfully,

its semi-annual settlements with the

GUS branches of the entire system,
where people take cars in either direc-
ton and often travel twothirds of
the way around the loop in order to
reach their destination. The schedule
is perfect, however, and passengers
much prefer riding to standing on the
street corners. 1t is one of those in
stances where the longest way round
is the nearest way home.
All worthy of FulhIlment.
= All things considered, the completion
of the Long View loop involves a de-
mand on the part of the entire south
part of the city that cannot be longer
postponed, while the other extensions
contemplated are equally worthy of
fulfilImeut as affording needed and de-
served accommodations to large per-

THE FAIR is OPEN.

The gates to the grounds of the Cava-
lier Co. Fair Association were thrown
open to the public Wednesday morning
and the first annual county fair was
officially inaugurated, The manage
ment was fortunate in having the great
majority of the exhibits in readiness for
the opening and there was an absence of
the bitches that frequently mars the
opening day of such exhibitions.
There is no doubt about the high
quality of the exhibits and the attrac-
tons. There is much of educational
value. a lot of other things that will
interest, and a great deal that will enter
tain and amuse.
The CoURlER-DEMocRAT hopes that
all the visitors to Langdon will enjoy
the occasion. The latch string is hang
ing outside and friends of the publlca-
ton are requested to call at the office.

lowing this the game between the goats
of Nekona and the lambs of Iona was
called, the umpire being changed and
Umpire Newan holding the Indicator.
This game was somewhat onesided
owing to two of the best lambs having
gone astray. The game closed with the
score being IL to 3 in favor of the
Nekoma goats. After supper the game
between the Gazooks of Waterloo, as
sisted by the way by two professionals
from Hampden, succeeded in defeating
the Iona team by a score of z to 3.
Not being satisfied with the three
games already played the Iona sports
decided to have a game by moonlight
between the married and single men.
Owing largely to the number of games
that had already been played and that
the number of gentlemen umpires to
select from had become about exhausted

oficiate in that capacity. The game
was called at ten o'clock sharp and
finally resulted in goose eggs for both

umpire was unfair in calling Schweitzel

ands of acres of crop in the neighbor-

Wales Its path was over two miles in
width. DR.. Donovan has nearly 1900
acres In the vicinity of Wales that is for
the most part literally pounded into the
ground. Nc Schneider has two quarter
sections that he won't harvest because
of destruction by hail. John Schelstal
and Jas. bryson are two Others in that
neighborhood who had nearly all of their
crop pounded out. The damage done
was more severe than it otherwise would
have been owing to the heavy wind ae-
com panylag the storm. Several farmers
report having buildings moved otf their
foundations.
