THE X. p. BALI.

The Thanksgiving ball given By the
Knights OF Pythias was one OF the finest
events of the kind ever given in Wichita.
The gas light matinee was also very en-
joyable The hall had been very beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion and the
management of the entire affair could not
have been excelled. The evening event
was a very brilliant one and many beauti-
full aud rich costumes were worn by the
ladies. while the gentlemen appeared in
full dress. The drill. one Of the features
of the evening, was the finest things OF tho
kind ever seen in Wichita and was some
thing entirely new. The h 7. lodge.
especially the committees who did such
excellent work, deserve much praise. 1t
WAS one of the most select and fashionable
balls ever given here, and the coming
balls. this being the first of the season,
are looked forward to with pleasurabIe
anticipation.

CHAIRMAN JONES.

Colonel William Cassius Jones of lola
chairman Of the Democratic state COM
mittee. was in the city last night and felt
so good all over that he would consider
julius Caesar highly fattered by calling
him his uncle. The length and breadth of
all this fair land could he searched in vain
for any member OF the extensive family of
the Joneses who enjoyed himself better
and felt SO good over the result of the re-
cent contest. The predicted collision of
the comet with the earth tonight had no
effect on him; in fact be positively de-
clared that he and all other good Demo-
Gratis were willing to die happy now after
such triumph over the old enemy He
absolutely looked princely as he walked
about the hotel Office and shook hands with
everybody who had the least suggestion of
Democracy about him.
Colonel Jones is built on the
plan of sixpenny nail. His head
is the largest thing about him,
and his body slopes as uniformly down
from the shoulders to tho feet as any nail
ever shaped by human hand. He can
easily wear lady's shoe, but at present he
has no objection to wearing Colonel Dick
Walkers official CATERS. In fact, he is
after them, aud from present indications
they will be his when the chief executioner
will have disposed of the official head of
the knightly Richard.
When the EAGLE reporter asked Colonel
William for an interview, he extended the
distance between his feet and threw back
his shoulders until he looked for all the
world like the Colossus of Rhodes drawn
Iva of
glass. Then smile began to gather on
his face, which kept on increasing till the
eyes and nose were completely lost to
sight. when his mirth exploded, making
the very pillars of the hotel Office tremble
Oh their foundations.
Didn't we give 'em Hail Columbian"
said be finally or words to that effect and
then he laughed again and again. ut was
a great landslide. wasn't it?" and then his
mirth exploded again. He was the happi-
est man the Carey hotel has seen for many
day. No." said he finally, l have no
interview for you now. l am too full of
enthusiasm for utterance: besides the re-
porters all over the state are publishing
interviews with me without ever coming
near me. You eau tell the people through
the EAGLE that the country is saved and
that the Democracy is in the saddle to
stay" At this juncture dozen or so
office seekers called the mirthful colonel
one side, whispered something into his ear
and then they all threw their hats further
back on their heads and walked off arm in
arm to some congenial locality where ali
good Democrats find solace when i'll for
tune has overt AIKEN them aud fabrication
for their vocal organs when they have &C.
caSiOn to enthuse.

Yesterday morning we found. setting on

From reading the doleful Geographic
account of how our poor little earth is to
be everlastinaly swiped out, in fash,
tonight, bya comet. presto. subtle. in
stanter, quicker than muskeeter by a
fifty pound cannon ball. we looked out
upon the shrouded heavens, up at the
cold-wave flag, and then back upon our
pretty flowers, when we started to think.
Some people don't seem to know that edi-
tofs sometimes think. But we shall not
tell what we thought. An editor has no
business telling all his thoughts, especial
~ all he thinks about women. It might
get him into trouble. But what ynaa
with any sentiment in his poeticai
contingent can see flowers and
not think OF women, at least Of some
woman. The accompanying note ex-
planned that tie flowers were from the
ladies Of the Hypatla, with compliments
to the editor of the EAGLE We didn'.
believe the note. for Hypatia. as az organ
zation. has never failed TO fall down when
attempting anything for the editor of the
EAGLE We are more than willing to be-
iieve, however, that the floral tribute
came from some mem Der OF that am bilious
and almost famous organization. Who
ever she may be, God bless her dear old
literary soul In the touch of love left there
for the passe and bald headed. The
flowers may fail TO start new hair. but the
sympathetic impulse which prompted the
swee. and welcome tribute will doubtless
incline to retain and promote the warm,
not to say ardent. glow OF our sideburns,
and render more green the yellow ten
denotes of our melancholy.
