The Times' substantial friend and
old subscriber, C. C. Jasper, of Fos

his charming little daughter and
niece, MiBS Jasper, gave the Times
a very pleasant call Monday. They
came to take a look through the
Tikes printing establishment and to
6ee the mode by which the paper
was printed. In this they were dis
appointed as the press days of the
Times are Saturdays and Wednes
days. Here is what Mrs. Lease has to
ay of the populist party in Kansas:
"Yes, I want it understood that I
am out of politics for the present. I
am just as devoted a populist as I
eyer was, because populism in its
purity is good, but populism like
that we have in Kansas now, I want
no hand in. The party has fallen
into the control of a gang of the
worst political hybrids I ever heard
of. I am not condemning the rank
and file of the party. Unfortunately
they have been misled by men who
are tricky and wiser politicians than
hey are. Before these thieves and
grasping othce seekers got control
of the machine there never was a
young party in this country that had
any brighter prospects for the future
than the populist party had in Kan
sas. I am sorry that our good pop
ulists have allowed the party to
degenerate into the degraded abor
tion it is to day but, of course, I
can't redeem it."

in three important particulars, viz:
first, in the combination of remedial
agents used; second, in the propor

in the process by which the active
