Abstract
The April 19, 1894 issue of "The Weekly Telegram," a Nelson brothers' periodical describing news and events from their fictional world, presented in a two-column format. The cover indicates it was "published by the Telegram Publishing Co.," one of several fictitious Nelson brothers' enterprises. This issue opens with the conclusion of a three part story titled, "The Blues in Torora" by W.J.L. (William J. Little, Arthur Nelson's alter ego). In this last installment, the fictional hero Ethan Allen leads his men to victory. The bulk of the periodical is made up of a section titled "Condensed News of the Week" and features news bits from around the world of the Nelson brothers. News bits are divided geographically and include news of building and development, agriculture, town and city happenings, sugaring and other topics relevant to the week. Much of the news in this issue is about sugar yields and industrial production partnerships. The last page contains editorials. One editorial expresses disappointment in some underhanded dealings. Another editorial is an account of two adventurers narrowly escaping Indians as they paddle to safety on a river.
