The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-09-29

| Somebody has put head on the
Tribune.
We are inclined to think that the
report that George Cole is to be turned
down next fall by the Republicans ORR
ginated in the fertile brain Of some
pop.
We suppose Miss Nettie Dewey en-
| joys her walk over into the First ward
this pleasant weather but when the
winds blow and the snow flies it will
not be such picnic.
The boys at the state normal are
very anxious to play few match
games of football but the board is
likely to say nit.
| The old settlers reunion at Bene-
dict was rousiDg success. Such an
other crowd has never been in Bene-
dict.
| The hot blasts of summer have
spent their force and the cool and
pleasant autumn is here. 1t is now
about time for our various correspon-
dents to sharpen up their pencils aud
give us again their valued items.
Our schools are starting off in great
shape this fall. We expect big things
of them this year. So far the high
school has not reached the enrolment
expected.
1t beats all the amount of business
our real-estate men are doing. There
is more property changing hands in a
week now in and around Chanute
than is usual in three months.
Nell McGrew sold out his drugstore
interest on the west side and tried to
tear himself away from Chanute but
it was no use and he bought out Fred
Frewert and will remain.
| The picnic in the grove at the fair
ground few days back by two of our
benevolent orders was very enjoy
able affair. The speaking was good
and other exercises very enjoyable
and the supper immense.
We took little turn through the
mantle factory Of Mr.. Newby's the
other day and were astOnished at the
number of mantles he can turn out.
We notice Davis & Merritt were ad-
ding another Car load of wagons to
their already immense stock the other
day.
Unfortunately Red Seal is coming
out behind the money rather too often
to be pleasant of late.
Poor Jerry, our sockless Jerry, he
sometimes mistakes his audience. Ono
day last week at soldiers reunion at
Wichita he undertook to parade some
of his copperhead gibberlsh and was
promptly Kissed off the stage, Jerry
should learn to size up the crowd a
little better.
1t is hardly necessary for us to call
your attention to the display ad. this
week of the old reliable firm of Hysin-
er g. Rosenthal. You can't help see
ing it. Their little fish story is about
right. After you have been allured
away from your old reliable fishing
hole by the splashing of a few min
nows and lost the best part of the day
you drift back to the "old reliable
and make big catch.
We noticed that the reunion at Erie
last week was quite a drawing card
for the candidates for the varlou
county Offices
| Dunsmore's speech at the reunion
scored a great success. Some of our
anti-eXpansion Aguinaldo sympathis-
ers did not think much of it however.
We noticed quite number of Chan
uteites at the reunion at Erie, though
not quite as many as we expected to
see. The boys all seemed to have a
boss good time.
Mr.. Morey is about to get his ele-
CANT house in the 4th ward completed.
When Ed. gets into that new house
he can sure enough live at home.
The Historian" of NeoshO county
seems to write too much from biased
and personal interest standpoint for
his work to stand the test of criticism.
Many leading populists all over the
district are smiling at the efforts of
