statement there is nothing new
under the sum-"
Printed Nov. 10, 1887, nearly AZ
years ago the stories read much
like those of today-eXcept there IS
nothing said Of endurance fliers.
A dispatch from Chicago tells
that the sheriff is preparing scaf-
fold for the execution of "the an
archists," but fails to tell who the
anarchists are.
Another Chicago dispatch tells Of
the famous Palmer House fire there

At Elnira, N. Y, the conductor
on Lehigh Valley road reported
finding the hacked-up body of an
aged man aboard his train. The
arms and legs had been amputated

eran of the Civil war who had gone
to Elmira from Gillett, Penn, car
Tying $500 of back pension money
he had just received. His wife said
he had gone to purchase suit of
clothes.
Almost any Of these news reports
might be duplicated in a newspaper
of today, but here is one that is
different:
From Vinita, I. T. (Indian Terri
tory), came news that the Ameri-
can settlers were fleeing with their
movable property from Tahlequah,
the Cherokee capital, in fear of a
civil war breaking out between two
factions of the Indian tribe. Both
factions claimed to have elected d
chief.
ALL OF THIS news was brought
to The Cosmopolitan by mail and
although the paper was dated Nov.
10 the dispatches were dated back
as far as Oct. 81, most of them
having been written on Nov. 8, Just
a week before date of publication.
HERE ARE SOME Brownsville
Stems which will interest the old
