W. W. STERLING IS HERE; MISSION IS UNKNOWN

Got Off the 2 O’clock Train Accom- # panied by Stranger and Went Direct to Factory. Telephone conversation. “Hello, is this The Republican?” “Yes” ■' :'c t “Are you short of news? V. “We are always after ail we can get.” “Well, I just wanted to let you know that Match Factory Sterling just went cast on Vine street with a h— of a fine looking strangei*. Apparently they were going right out to start up the match factory and I expect to hear of him ordering several carloads of coal before he gets out of town.” “I)o tell.” “Perhaps you had better try to get an interview with him when lie leaves on a north bound train; be may have something up his sleeve.” With profuse thanks The Republican hung up the receiver. We will try to see Sterling. He is generally good for a “story,” that is a newspaper story. But if he tells us that the factory is going to start up, we will have a little laugh and i ivall the incidents of the past four years. * We really think Sterling ought to be confined in the Ananias cage.
