Who Forged Bill’s Name?
[Some anonymous author sends us
through the mails the following poet
ic tribute, which we find too good to
consign to the waste basket.— Ed]
Who forged Bill Fisher’s name. By Heck?
Cries Editor Man. with ye short neck;
Here's Sidewalk Ordinance 68.
Showin’ Bill’s powerful seal affix;
And Bill not a-knowin’ of it.
Who stole Bill Fisher sseal, By Heck?
We ought to know, says George Fly Speck;
In a left hind pocket he keeps the treasure
And by tbe power of the Standard Measure.
Let’s yell a toot.
Who forged Bill Fisher s name, By Heck?
Yells out again' the Standard Speck;
Tho’ his name is merely for the form.
When told to sign a law just born;
Who smeared the Ink?
Who forged Fill Bisher's name? 1 say,
Tho' the board said 'twas all O. K„
And Bill was out of town when sought
To sign the bill to make sidewalk—
Let's bowl some moreI
Suffering, rolling, balls of mud.
Won't there be an awful thud?
Blast my invisible hose supporters.
Again we ll swat the Graft Promoters—
Turn on the Gag(ue).
A11 Sing:—
Who forged Bill Fisher’s name?
Come, everybody sing;
Tho' it.s a little, little thing.
We'll make our mis-spelled columns ring.
Come, help us vell(ow).
Who forged—Rats!
Now who the deuce do you suppose
forged Bill’s name. A burning ques
tion. _
The loyal republicans have charge
of the republican party In Sherman
county again this year. Never again,
we trust, will its banner be trailed
in the dust of disrepute.
The Republican State Convention
at Lincoln Tuesday was well attend
ed, there being over 800 delegates
present. R. P. Starr of this city was
made state central committeeman
from this Sixteenth Senatorial Dis
trict. The convention was discreetly
silent on the county option theory,
as was also the Democratic state
convention, leaving to the Populist
state convention the honor of being
•‘It” on that mooted question, by
placing itself in favor of county
option in its state platform.
The Loup City Northwestern
states that the republicans in the
west end of Sherman county have
agreed that there is something com
ing to them and that they are en
titled to a candidate on the county
ticket. After looking over the terri
tory carefully they decided that Walt
Weare is the best looking man in
tiiat part of the county land is the
most capable man of the lot for hold
ing down a county office with credit
to himself and to his party. After
some persuasion Walt was led into
the same belief himself and finally
filed his application for the nomina
tion. Let it be understood that Walt
is a Valley county boy, which fact in
itself goes a long way toward quali
fying nim for the position he seeks.
He is an efficient stenographer and
office man. While a mere boy he
served under the flag of Uncle Sam
in the distant Philippines. He is a
hard worker in whatever he attempts
and has made good beyond question
as a lumber merchant. The Journal
editor feels a particular interest in
Walt, first from the fact that he was
a pupil under the instruction of the
writer when teaching in the Ord high
school, and from the further fact
that Walt was later in the employ of
the Journal as solicitor, bookkeeper
and financial agent. Walt Weare is
all right, barring, of couise, his
politics.—Ord Journal.
