Let Us Talk 1t
Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
THE FOOL-KILLER.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, You can get more at
headquarters.
THE FooL-KILLER is not even a
forty-'leventh cousin to any other
paper on earth.
It stands in a class by itself, and
it's field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.

pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought.
print only what I write; I write
only what think; and think what
l doggon please. 4
I own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, I am a great
deal richer than Old John.
never travelled any to speak Of,
but have read great deal, and have
thunk some.
I have also writ few books which
I know are great, because they don't
sell worth cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started THE Fool
KILLER, just to quiet my nerves and
keep the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion Of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month a
hot old bundle of literary dynamite
that will shake the rotten foundations
of society and cause the Church Of
Mammon to at least turn over in it's
sleep.
THE FooL-KLLER will be a month
ly mustard plaster for the blood -boils
of Society, Church and State.
It will be salted with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar-
casm.
Every line will cut like whip, and
every word will raise blister.
If you are fool you had better not
subscribe for THE FOOL-KILLER.
If you are wise you will. And SO that
settles it.

 ''This was a drunken debaunch that brought all this killing about. This alleged murder would not have hap pened except that Mullen was there to promote a, certain purpose. He was rooms. It is claimed that there is a murder in the first degree, il being alleged that the accused robbed him and in that robbery beat him to death. brought before you, that if a robbery was committed and that after the rob bery was over the assault was com mitted, it is not first degree murder But was there murder committed at all? I make the claim on behalf of murder committed. Dr. Downs has stated that it is believed that the in jury on the side of his head caused his death. He says also that he might have died from Bright's disease or he may have had a cOnVulS1On. but it was his impression that the injury caused death. But Doctors Fitzgerald and Coweu, both eminent physicians of long standing. state that in their opinions the injuries were not of sui fcient severity to cause death. Both physicians under the expert cross-ex- animation maintained till the last that this man died from uraenic convul- sions superinduced by alcoholism
