MUSICALE
West Side Joke Club Puts
on Excellent Numbers
Tuesday Evening

The West SIDE Joke club pulled of
one of ITS interesting programs on
Tuesday evening. The numbers, how
ever, differed some, from their
previous dolngs. The numbers were
three, all consisting of the manly art
of tap and getaway, with piano &C.
compartment. In one of the numbers,
however, one of the parties was unable
to get away before receiving the taps
The first number was for three
measures. between pocket editions of
Jack johnson and Sailor Sharkey, and
on account of heating perfect time
throughout the measuers, 1T was de-
clared by the deciding critic as an
even score.
The second number was duet by
Ed. Fearing and Mike Wachlorowlcz,
two corners, who will be heard from
later. Mike used the bass drum stick
movement to advantage throughout
the first two measures, but Fearing
striking truer tones with straight beat
ing, was after four measures declared
as having better executed the selection.
The last, but big number of the
evening, which was advertised, as a
hot-ti number, between two of our
formost students of fisticania, proved
to be lullaby: The first measure
was gone through with feeling,
although it was noticed that Rollaway
Bill was tapping the keys little the
harder. In the second measure, about
half way through. Right Swing Bob s
foot slipped on high note and the
measure was cut short. After some
advise the by instructor in chief, the
third measure was taken up, in a
much lighter strain. However, this
was simply to make the climax the
more impressive, as shortly after the
beginning of the fourth measure,
Rollaway Bill punctured another high
note of Right Swing Bob's and on
account Of the i'll health of the late'r r,
that beautiful piece, ''the Roof Fell
In" was played, which ended pleas
ing program, that our West side
brethren had taken great pains to put
on.

FIRE AT CUSHING.

FIRE destroyed the general store IN
Cushing run by Henry w. Shaeffer
yesterday afternoon, the building and
stock being practically total loss
The fire started at about 2 o'clock and
the work -of the bucket brigade,
which turned out, was insufficient to
keep the building from Burning to
the ground. No furniture was saved
from the rooms above the store in
which Mr.. Schaeffer's family resided,
and but very few goods were saved
from the store. There was no in
surance on either building or stock.
The ire is thought to have started
from q stOve-pipe.

certainly do not believe that any
officer should use his position to

public should not be made to suffer

A special meeting of the board Of
county commissioners was held Tues.
day.
The committee appointed by the
commercial club to wait on the board
to ask to reconsider their action on
| ordering out the telephones, appeared
before them. A. P. Blanchard was
the firstspeaker, and went thoroughly
into Ithesbenetits derived by the people
in general from phones stationed in
the court house; that with the pro-
gress Of the times that they were as
essential in the conduct of the busl-
ness Of the county IN practically the
Same measure as In any business
establishment or office. While he was
q believer in economy, he believed
that the action of the board in this
matter was far-tetched. T. G. Gordon
also spoke, showing that the use Of
cernI where business was transacted,
stating that their company had phones
installed in the homes of their
different employees, not for the benefit
Of the employees, but SO that their
customers could call them up at any
time. when possibly the Office might
be closed. a.
Dr.. J. p. Chance of Royalton spoke
in favor Of the phones.
Ludger Rocheleau of Ripley town,
who has rural telephone in his home,
also. spoke in favor of the phones,
stating that they were of great con-
venlence to him In the transactlO ION of
business
81 C. Cochran, the Randall
merchant, went on record also in
favor Of the phones, stating, that that
very morning there had been occasion
to communicate with the court house,
but 5of course it could not be done.
There was only one objection, to
the re-installing of the phones, John
Schelin who is on tho Darling line.
This objection seemed strangely out of
place. however, as the same man, had
the day previous, tried to get the
court house, and was unable. He
afterward rang up another place in the
city to get his information.

Inedible Chicken,

1T doesn't pay to raise chickens in
a small way" said suburbanite, "for
the reason that you can only eat the
eggs, never the chickens themselves"
"But why can't you eat the chick
ens?'' inquired the mans partner.
could you eat your canary or your
dog? No. And for much the same rea-
son you can't eat your chickens. For
they are pets, as dogs or canaries are.
You have raised them, and they have
learnt to know you, they have names
that they answer to, they follow you
about the yard-in word, they like
you, and you like them"
He shuddered.
II remember when we killed and
stewed Mary Jane. She had stopped
laying; she was long past that stage;
SO we murdered her and tried to eat
her. But we failed. We felt like
cannibals, like ghouls, when Mary
James mangled remains were set
smoking before us. Sat? Why, the
very memory half sickens me now"
