40, not premature. Just
promptly. The News-Champion
pridcs itself on printing the news
while 1t is fresh. We are just
little put out by the reference

Is there anything suggestive
in this way of spelling troops ?"'i
Did the esteemed Examiner in
tend to convey the idea that the
Colonel was raising a theatrical
company? During the late labor
/. trouble when Colonel Wells was !
doing his best, that was the way
we viewed it, but it is little raw
for the present times.
