Aguinaldo Is likely to find fighting
against the Americans and against
the Spanish two very different propo-
sitions.
anute nd Thayer will celebrate
ValenJlne's day by voting on bond
'opositons. We hope they may both
be successful in getting full supply
of gas
Mr.. Rosenthal seems to be turning
his store room inside out. Our guess
is, when he gets through he will have
much better room in which to do
business.
1t is now reported that the count
was wrong as to the number OF our
school ma'ams that will get married
in the spring. Dame rumor had it
four, but the most recent estimate
makes it but three.
There is young man In the city
cutting quite a swath among the
young crowd who IS said to have run
away from home Better go home to
your Ma, young man, and not neglect
your duties any longer.
Il
Judge Hazen in very lengthy op-
inion, decides that the governor is the
sole judge Of an emergency under the
constitution Of the state. That may
be good law, but should only apply
when we have a man instead Of an ass
for Governor.
Aguinaldo now claims that the
Americans were the aggressors at Ma
Mia. He thinks he has given the
American commanders fair notice and
extended to them every courtesy.
Sometime back he gave them the
privilege of retiring peaceably.
We are very sorry that Mr.. Ahlers
has severed his connection with our
creamery. Mr.. Ahlers is master in
his profession and our creamery is
likely to miss him very much. He will
20 to Erie and start creamery Of his
own. Success to you, Mr.. Ahlers.
The young people who went skating
last Saturday on the river seem to
have had very delightful time. The
couple who broke through the ice took
rather cold bath. 1t was very fo:-
tunate the water was no deeper. They
say waste deep is enough this kind Of
weather.
We suppose those antedeluvian sena-
tors, who, by their unwarranted oppo-
sition to the ~aace treaty have sue
ceeded in precl Eating trouble With
the Filipinos, a.e now entirely salts
fed with themselves and their course
in the u. 8. senate. 1t is about time
a few Of the old mossbacks in both
parties were retired to private life.
The Goth Kansas led by her gallcnt
Colonel Funston, has shed addition
glory on the American soldiery. They
calamity charged strong fortified
position of the insurgents and put the
defenders to flight, scattering them in
every direction. There were several
wounded in the Goth but none from
this county.
Chanute has too many irons in the
fire. she is likely to neglect some OF
them. Asylums, gas wells, high
schools and railroads are fruitful tor-
les of conversation now, and some even
talk county seat probabilities.
Amidst all the talks of our future
greatness don't forget to go to the cl-
ection on the l4th and vote for the gas
bonds.
Cold-gewhilikens, l should say it is
cold 1t has frozen the nose off of all
the iron pumps in town. The flame
in the gas stoves froze hard and had
to be thawed out with boiling water
The gas company is delivering frozen
gas in blocks to the consumers this
morning. The sunbeams on their way
to mother earth CONCEALED and fell
like icicles. The ground froze so hard
that it forced the abandoned oil well
in the north part of town up till It'll

AS Bert Brownell went to his duties
at the Katy depot this morning, that
can of his froze so tight to his head he
had to be scalped to remove it. Bob
Baker when he got off the dray this
morning swallowed quart of melted
