CHIT-CHAT.

Don't fail to hear Mr.. Bailey al
Williams hall tonight. He will give
you some reasons for the faith that II
within the Republican breast.
Capt. j. w. Walker has at last
boarded up the neighborhood. "Wha1
| Is itp" and, behold, 1t is wood house
and WORK shop. -
Jessie Shinn says II Mark Hanna
don't regulate this weather soon, the
Republicans are gone up for this year
Why does petty city official fire.
uuently take delight in doing some
thing unlawful to annoy and injure
citizen, instead of employing his ener-
gies for the public good?
Who would have thought it possible
for the Blade last week to so utterly
annihilate the Times innocent little
article of the week before on dia-
monds. All precious stones are not
diamonds, but all diamonds are prec-
ious stones. The revenue on precious
stones was greatly increased by Re-
publican tariff. Diamonds form the
bulk of importation Of precious stones.
Therefore, the revenue on diamonds
was greatly increased by Republican
law. See, John?
"Slim" Gilchrist manages to worry
around and visit Chanute once year.
Cub" Ruff has been gone several
years. and Gig. Nixon has no object In
coming back. McCaslln came to the
conclusion that a packing house job
was about his size. Hatcher went to
railroading and displayed good sense.
The foreman of the Times is the only
one left to represent the old crowd.
Good printers are not picked up every
day, for the reason that the boys do
not learn the trade like they did
twelve and fifteen years ago.
1t is said the first gun, as announced
by the flaming flyers on the streets,
SATURDAY., was only pop gun after
all, and like the pop gun of boyhood
days was only loaded with wind ana
paper wads.
Hon. G, A. Cox, one Of the best
campaigners In this section Of Kansas,
will take the stump for the Republic
cans this fall.
So 1t will soon be Mrs. II. Prange,
at home, at No. -, North High
street, ehp
II the Times last week was a little
tainted with populism attribute 1t to
the free indulgence In a large box OF
magnificent tomatoes and big basket
of fine grapes contributed by our good
populist friends of Austin, Mr., and
Mrs. Frazier.
That was shabby treatment we'got
last week from Mrs. Dave Houston.
She brought into the Office maRnih
cent musk melon Jour special delight,
and asked us to carry 1t up TO oul
wife.
M. Ingles treated the Times force tc
a big watermelon the other day, II
was hard to determine which enjoyed
the melon best, Marion or the devil
We felt some what flattered by the
melon, till we recalled the fact that
we had lust had Marion out to dinner
with us and supposed we had filled
him up, till we saw him eat water
melon,
]. ]. Jones looks very much rested
lately. He attributes the cause OF hi:
improved appearance to the good
sleep he gets these nights. He says
since Miss Ellis came back she aud
his wife talk so much during the day
that he has no trouble In getting tC

We wonder why Kirk Barbee II

4th ward? 1t would seem to be to-
