Il. =. Jones, Judge Heller ana r. NJ.
Abbott were seen TO slip out OF the
show the other day asquick as possible
and then stand with their face to the
exit with an innocent expression Of
face as though they had Just walked
down to view the tent
5E
John Myers came into toWn Monday
expressly TO see the show. He says
that is what he came for and that lie
never misses one, good or bad.
-
Chanute is going to be greatly
blessed. The Salvation Army is fix
ing up the old Chanute House for
headquarters. The sound Of the tam
BOURNE and drum will be familiar to
our ears from now on.
-
The weather or somet hing else has
had peculiar effect on CQmrade Kim
news house. 1t has turned a beauti-
full yellow color.
We would advise all the normalites
to attend Miss ElliS'physical culture
class in the evening. That peculiar
sup civ 10 bOdODlhB may OO USC-
full at evening entertainments next
winter.
The candidate crop is budding pro-
fuselY and will soon be in full bloom
Fl
G.. V. Dennis says lie never saw So
many good looking schoolmarms at a
nOrmrl since he has been attending.
Ed RoySter and Ben Roe have re-
ceived their degree from the NeOShO
county normal, and are at the State
Normal School dispensing the know
lcdgeacquired here.

Supt. John Perry, of Wilson county,
spent last week IN Emporia attending
the commencement exercises. John
seemed wonderfully interested in the
reunion there, especially his reunion
with a certain fair Sch( Olmarm who
seemed to have rare charms.

Our prediction is that Judge Still
well viii have about as much OppO-
sition to his reelection as he had to
his nomination. The Pop that runs
against Judge Stillwell will find he is
up against circumstance
S
Our neighbor Cox, he of the profes-
| sion of law, has found sure method
of breaking cats from catching chick
ems. 1t is very simple and inexpensive
and so far, he says, has proven a sue
cess at his house.
Though the Republican party has
BileS in this county it don't seem to
be much worried over the matter. 1t
is the other fellow that will do the
worrying ia this case. Biles ars said
to purify the blood, aud should be eX-
pected to purify politics.
-
We agree with the Tribune that it
is not the best policy TO build onto an
old building but that is the way the
members of the board from the 18th
ward saw the matter and it is all we
are going to get. A small loaf is bet
ter than no loaf. The city hall is no
place for high school.
=
The class in history had quite an
interesting discussion Of the Monroe
doctrine at the Normal last Monday
Miss Tennie Thomas distinguished
herself in the debate and insisted on
woman's right to the last word.
Miss TeDnie, though decidedly in the
minority seemed nothing daunted by
the superiority of numbers
IL
Prof BOwen's classes are conducted
very much an the lecture plan. They
are very interesting, but we wonder
why some of those old teachers don t
do more Of the talking.
=
ANY teacher in NeOShO county who
misses the present normal without a
valid excuse, be he old or young, is not
| fully awake to his best interests nor
alive to the demands of his calling
Awful Miss Ellis was seen walk
ing, in broad daylight, down the street
from the school hU1se, side by side,
with young gentleman of the nor
| NAL.
The Republicans are likely to hurl
a Stone into the opposition camp this
fall. That will be good politics if
they don't retaliate by squeezing our
Biles.
From the display of Fourth of July
accessories in the windows of our
dealers, the boys must be expecting
to have loud time on that occasion.
