What is the matter with our real
estate men? They all seemed to fall
down on the deal with Mr.. Briley
from Illinois.
The Democratic factions IN Ken
lucky are waging a lively war on one
another, and are liable to about wipe
one another up by election time.
The citizens will soon have the
privilege OF voting on the gas bond
proposition, If the Standard Oil Com
pany don't conclude to accept the
proposition of the council.
Mrs. Geo. Wilder and Miss Anna
have been to Cherryvale on visit.
We noticed George seemed a little
cranky, but didn't divine the reason
till we saw the Cherryvale Clarion.
The Blade seems to be very fearful
lest the Republicans adopt some shady
methods of campaign. 1t is quite
common for the thief in crowd to
cry out: Look out for pick-pockets."
Work has been resumed on gas we'll
No. 5, after a long delay. We hope
now to see the work speedily finished.
We do not anticipate very favorable
results from this well. 1t seems to be
too much out of line.
Mr.. Wangler had big house-warm-
ing one evening last week. The young
folks of the neighborhOod were all
gathered in and enjoyed big dance
in the new house till the wee small
hours called them to disperse.
The "Hlstorian" of Neosho county
has quit writing histories and gone to
writing circulars. All for the same
purpose: to endeavor to defeat the
best Judge the district ever had, and
elect his own law partner to the
place.
The antI-expanslonlsts at their thor
oughly advertised big rally at Erie,
last Saturday, had about as many peo-
pie in attendance as took the train at
this point, on the same morning, for
Junction City to see our brave boys
off for Manila.
We were very much surprised on en-
tering the hotel at Roper the other
day, to find our old friend, Barney
Long, in charge. Mr.. Long has re-
Gently rented this hotel, and he and
his estimable wife both seem pleased
with the outlook and the business
they are doing.
No judicial district has ever been
favored with more competent, hon.
est, upright, unbiased judge than has
the 7th, in the person of Judge Still
well. He will be reelected by hand
some majority. Why not see how
near unanimous we can make it, and
Justly compliment a most worthy
man?
1t is hardly considered good form to
use personally solicited letter of in
PRODUCTION for campaign purposes.
The Populist candidate for judge of
this district seems to be trying to
use such a letter, against the man,
who. as an act of courtesy and kind
ness, gave it to him on his own solici-
tation. Such methods only reflect on
the party trying to use them.
One day this week we chanced to
meet our old friend, r. ]. Rogers. of
Wilson county. Mr.. Rodgers is can
didate for register of deeds for that
county on the Republican ticket. He
is a worthy and competent man for
the place, and will doubtless receive a
handsome majority. He will if quali-
fication and genuine manhood count
for what they should in Wilson county.
Mr.. Casteel, the gentlemanly Ga
zette man, has completed his work
here and gone to other fields. Mr..
Casteel has nothing but good words
for Chauute. lie is particularly COM
plimentary towards the ladies, saying
that he has seen more good-looking
ones during his stay here than he has
seen in any other town of twice its
size. Mr.. Casteel has settled up his
business here liz a very satisfactory
manner and made many friends in our
little city.
