past several years. The visit was

j. w. Freeman of Joplin, Mo. began
suit Monday against Frank Hardesty
mayor, and Councilmen Seth j, Bailey,
Thos Inman, II. n. Price, L. e. Car
ter, d. e. McClelland, NJ. T. Jones, j.
j. Hurt and S. z. Roth for the sum of
81 200 alleged due on the water works
boilers. The chances are that the only
thing that Freeman can do, to worry
the above gentlemen some, but he
wants law suit and has concluded to
go after Chanute.

Does advertising pay? Ask D. E.
McClelland. Mr.. McClelland last week
put mammoth ad in the TIMES call
ing attention to the bargains he had
to offer his customers; on Monday of
this week he sold one of the farms
advertised, and on Tuesday another,
and both to parties who read it in the
TINES. Mr.. McClelland is the busiest
man in town. If you have not read
his list of farm lands for sale, do so at
once, as he offers them at prices that
will make them sell.

The Chanute Military Company, or
ganized by the Sons of Veterans, ex-
pected to be mustered into the X. N.
G., last Monday night, as Adjutant
general Hiram Allen had notified Cap
tain Carr to expect Gen. McCrum on
that date. A full turnout Of the boys
were present, and Company D. of lola,
under the command of Captain Lutte
Slower, and Captain N. III. Nicholson,
of Company R., at Junctiod City, were
present to help give the Chanute boys
good "send Off" A telegram was re-
ceived, however, after the boys had
all arrived, from Gen. McCrum, stating
that it would be impossible for him to
come this week. Much disappoint-
ment was felt by the Sons Of Veterans
and their friends, but the visiting SOL
diers gave an exhibition drill, and put
the Chanute recruits through a few
movements. 1t is suspected that the
delay in mastering the Chanute COM
pany, is caused by the opposition from
the enemies of the orders of Sons of
Veterans, and the G. A. R II such
is the case, the two could unite their
forces and make somebody think they
had been run over by the band wagon.
