The fascinating sketch in the Free Press of last Sunday, and entitled "Down in an Iron Mine," bears the initials "C. R. W." Those familiar with the graphically descriptive style of Hon. C. R.

Superintendent VVilson, of the street car lines, last Friday reached the ripe, oíd age of 21 years and is still as hale and hearty as a wellpreserved man of 40.

A man with a catarrh cure was in the city Monday to offer citizens his remedy. He said he was cured by it, after being unable to hear his wife speak for four years.

Schu'h's three mile rockets,, among republicans, the Register says: "Republicans are so thick this fall that you couldn't miss 'em no difference how hard you should try. The Captain and the Argus better 'go snucks' and buy a miílion rockets if they are going to get rid of republicans in that way." - Capt. Schuh and the Argus have the rockets, and the mortality list will include even those scattering republicans who have taken to the woods. A paper, published by John S. .ris, secretary of the second district prohibition congressional comtnittee, and entitled "Where We Are At," reaches the Argus, with the first page adorned with a splendid cut of the prohibition congressional candidate, D. W. Grandon, of Adrián. In this paper Mr. Grandon issues a stirring address, showing why, according to the impossible theory of his party, the prohibition ticket should be elected. Mr. Grandon is more brainy than his party dogmas, and why such a levclheaded, prosperous newspaper man should have become the congressional standard bearer of a gimcrack party, with as little hope of success as Bob Ingersoll has of heaven, "for the life of us" we cannot see.
