Henry Davis, the opera honse moving picture showman, has gone to Delphi with his wife, the fortuneteller, and his show ontfit. The fortune-teller was located in a room north of The Democrat office while in Rensselaer, and the number of shekels she gathered in demonstrated that Oklahoma town lot purchasers are not the only easy marks hereabouts. The first week they were here she averaged abont $lO per day telling fortunes, and probably took in about S2OO from this source during the two mouths they were here.

Bro. Healey of the Republican went to Indianapolis Thursday to be incolated again with the Fairbanks virus. The first injection at Lafayette some time ago did not “take” extra well with the republican editors, hence the necessity for the second dose. It is not thought after this final ronnd-op is made, and the party whip is applied to the large number of recalcitrant editors thai there will be many of them who will prove im'mane. A bitter dose indeed, but the machine says “swallow it,” swallow it they will. We even expect John Carr of the Fowler Leader will now be “good” and drink his Fairbanks cocktails without making a wry face. Subscribe for the Democrat.
