Our city council seems to be well
guarded, now, from the vile ISLANDERS
of the press by having an editor for
mayor and another editor for official |
printer.
We are glad to note the fact that |
the matter of prospecting for gas
is being pushed by the council and
mayor and we hope by fail TO be burn
ing city gas at much lower rates thar |
at present prevail.
Our populst friends seem to have
considerable trouble to induce any of |
the faithful of state reputation to
stand for Governor next term. They |
need not worry yet awhile there are |
several good popullsts in Neosho coun-
ty that might be sacrificed, they have
the requisite publications., they are
first class klckers.

1t is thought under present arrange
ments, the Goth Kansas may be enab-
led to reach home during July or Aug
ust. Their homecoming will be a
Joyful occasion in the state generally,
but many loving hearts will be made
to bleed afresh for the loved ones who
marched so proudly away with the
regiment but returned not.

| Arthur Carter Sundayed in Chanute.
1t seems a little strange about Carter,
when he worked in Chanute he spent
his SUNDAYS in Thayer, now he is loo

, The superintendent Of the water
works stireiup hornets nest the
first of the week when he shut off the
water supply on everybody who had
DOT paid up till fall. A good many
; did not fully understand the matter
and got caught.
! The Germans are protesting about
| the speech Of Capt. Coghlan at New
} York. 1t does seem like the Captain
: should have been more discreet in his
remarks. Germany has been doing
! everything she could to make amends
r for her short comings around Manila
: and should not be goaded now.
Miss Ellis and several OF her pupils
took in the lecture at Parsons Mon
day night by the Yale man. They
pronounce the lecture great.
Wonder if the members of the big
, senior class will conclude, when they
get through the high school, that
their education is complete and that
! there is nothing more for them to
learn?
+ There will be quite number Of va
cancles to fill in our corps Of teachers
o the coming year, and the pretty
p schoolma'ams are beginning to make
o life burden to the members of the
: board.
The Middle class this year in the
e high school has already done consider
f able more work in Latin and geometry
+ than any class that has ever taken

+ The Ferguson who crawled across
Y the bridge near Calumpit under heavy
fire, and is mentioned in the papers,
f is Kansas boy, but not our Allyn
Ferguson. We don't doubt but

: VIM. Austing, the boss sidewalk
builder, is putting in a very substar-
tial CROSSING at the junction of
: Fourth and High streets. The rule
