Fairfield, 64 80 • ■ Barnes A Moore, 65 00 T. T. Windsor, 4 00 W. J. Owens, 30 . E. Shaw 18 75 Julia Wiley,- 2 50 The Clerk's report was examined ai d found correct and on motion was approved and passed HUMOROUS. New York Sun: “John,” inquired the counsel of the witness, at the same time casting a facetious glance at the jury, “when you Chinamen take your celestial oath in court, what is done with the chicken after its head is cut off?” . „ .. , “Some lawyee glet him, replied the witness. Philadelphia Call: First Anarchist —“Property is robbery. It is a glar ing injustice for one man to haye a million and another man nothing.” Second Anarchist—“True. Every body ought to have $1,000_ and no more.” First Anarchist—“No, no. I put the figure at $10,000, because that is what I am worth. Hang it, man, you wouldn’t want to make beggars of us would you?” Plattsmouth Journal: A supersti tious subscriber, wno found a spider in his paper, wants to know if it is considered a bad omen. Nothing of the kind. The spider was merely looking over the columns of the paper to see what merchant was not adver tising, so that it could spin across his store door and be free from distur bance. Brooklyn Eagle: Three weeks ago an Indiana man taught his dog, a very finely bred, well-behaved setter, to chew tobacco. Now the dog comes into the house by the back door, nev er scrapes his feet on the mat, never goes to church, is careless at his meals, gets burrs in his tail, goes with a low- er grade of dogs, and it is feared that he is beginning to take an interest in politics. Wall-street News: On the 1st instant an engineer employed in a Wisconsin saw-mlil announced to his boss the time had come for him to strike. Ev erybody else was striking and he could not be left out in the cold. “Ho you want more pay!” asked the boss. “No: the pay is all right.” “Want shorter hours?” “No; the hours are all right?” “Then, what do you want?” “I want to go fishing this* afternoon without having my pay docked. I'll be on hand again in tlie morning.” He was told to go, and the “strike” was amicably adjusted on that basis. Boston Record: Now that you've got your 10 per cent, increase, John, you must be more liberal with your allowances for household expenses. I want a new tea-kettle, and the wash- boiler needs—” “Can’t afford it, Mollie; I'm only making living wages now, and you must wait until I can declare a divi dend.” “Then you refuse to arbitrate?” “There’s nothing to arbitrate?” I can’t—■” “Very well! I shall order a strike at once. The kitchen fire shall be drawn this noon, and if you dare to bring another woman into this house, to cook as much as a kettle of mush, I’ll smash the cook stove to smithe reens. Come, children, we must boy cott your father immediately.” 1 FALL Ai WINTER. -1 OUK STOCK OF Fall and Winter Suitings, Overcoats And other specialties for the ensuing season will be ready for in spection by September 1st.
