Whittling at the Fair.
One of th 3 most unique, at
tractive, side-splitting, original
and grotesque entertainments of
the coming Fair, will be a whis
tling match between Bob Flowers
and Elisha Vickers. It is said
that these two artists possess the
most frictious puckering strings
that adorn the facial appendages
of any men in this section. It is
also suggested that Mrs. Flowers
and Mrs. Vickers, with three
other ladies will be the judges in
this contest for a brand new live
dollar gold piece. Col. C. A.
Ward and Mr. T. B. Marshall,
who live near Mr. Vicker’s resi
dence have entered complaints
with the police to protect them
from the mid-night practice-ser
enades of that gentleman, while
Mr. Jno. McLean complains that
Bob Flowers has driven all the
mocking birds on north Ward
street crazy with his ear-splitting
practices. Both of these artists
whistle strictly by note.

Unjust ttaise in Postage.
There is neither sense nor jus
tice in raising the postage rate
on second class matter, which
includes newspapers and maga
zines. Purely advertising sheets
should be excluded but all print
ed news and magazine matter is
for the benefit of the masses.
They should have their reading
as cheaply as possible. Then if
the thousands of tons of franked
government matter were count
ed and a reasonable rate only
paid to railroads for carrying the
mails, the ledger would show a
balance in favor of the cash
drawer. No change should be
made in the . present newspaper
rate.
