At a meeting of the members of the
COmanche Pool, held on the 10th inst,
Maj. II. Kirk, of Larned, Kansas, was
elected a director to ill the position
made vacant by the death of E. W.
Payne. At the same meeting Capt. A.
e. Evans was elected treasurer of the
pool, a position also held by Mr.. Payne.
These selections were eminently right
and proper. and viii undoubtedly give
satisfaction to all who have business
with this organization.
Reports received at this meeting of
the Comanche Pool from every portion
of their range was of the most encour-
aging nature the cattle being reported
in excellent condition, the calf crUp all
that could be expected, and the range
horses in excellent condition for the
summers work.

1t has not been many months since
the INDEX hoped for regular Kilken-
ny-cat fight among the republican pro-
hibitionists of this state, and it appears
that our wish may be verified-in fact
it is being verified even now. Campbell
and st. John are rushing madly along.
demanding that all republicans who
were not prohibitionists two years ago.
and who opposed st. Johns nomina-
ton, be ostracized 4; and they are not
even willing to accept such under the
probation rule. John \. Martin was
one of mary republicans who opposed
81 John and now he is being severely
chastised for the part he played. Not
only are Campbell and st. John oppos-
ing his gubernatorial aspirations, but
lhey have drawn from the discard made
Dy the democrats and have aided their
hands With such cards as Van Bennett.
Judge John Martin, etc. But their fight
on Editor Martin is meeting with Oppo-
sition in the party, and Rev. DIR. Miner
and Rev. DIR. Krohn, two able diyines
Oh Atchison, two preacher-politician
say they know Editor John Martin to
be all right on the prohibition question.
and If he was ever guilty of sin, this
guilt has been washed away, and figur-
atively lac is now as white as snow.
These reverend gentlemen intimate that
Campbell, st. John & Co. will ruin the
party, ruin the prohibition cause and do
other indirect damage, such as killing
the political aspirations of good man,
II they insist ON furnishing now for sins
committed two years ago.
The newspapers are in the fight, too,
and the Topeka Capital, the worst pro-
hibihon sheet published in the state
twoSears ago. is now abusing Van Ben
nett and is not pleased with st. John or
Campbell, and has no use for Judge
Thacher, who is now the recognized
prohibition candidate for governor.
Two extracts published below win
give fair idea how the boys are having
little fun among themselves

Dodge City people allowed Prohibit
ton Campbell to talk there last Sunday
to his hearts content, though they had
requested him and his travelling partner
ST. John, to stay without the gates.
Trouble was anticipated, however, for
all the prominent daily papers in the
state had representatives on hand to re-
port the row, if any occurred and the
sheriff had possee at the train to prop
erly protect the prohibition agitators
should they be molested or made afraid.
For somereasOn, the parties who did
not want the speaking to occur did not
make amy demonstration, but on the
other hand number of the professors
went to hear Campbell speak OIL Sun
day morning. A report says, however,
that he did not refer to local affairs, or
he possibly might have been request
ed to quit. st. John was not present.

Under the heading Blooms and Boom
erangs" the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
remarks that it is remarkable and sug-
Sestive fact that republican national
conventions, as rule, have expended
far more energy in the process of beat
ing somebody than in the business of
making a nomination. With a single
exception, all the republican presidents
have been put in nomination in a mega
tive rather than an affirmative way. In
other words, the booms have in every
instance but one been beaten by the
boomerangs. The men singled out in
advance as the ones most fit and desery-
ing, and worked up'' through the Gus
tomary appliances of politics, have
found their very strength their weak
ness, so to speak, and the logic which
should have given them the prize has
turned out to be the sinister force which
compelled their defeat.
The Globe-Democrat then goes on to
show that there is even now as great a
probability of the leading candidate
Blaine-being defeated in the conven-
ton this year as there was i'm 1850

A bunch of over three hundred south
southern Missouri cattle passed through
this place the other day, on their way
to Montana. 1t is barely possible that

Some paper, evidently an enemy Of
Col. John n. Martin, says that from
now until after the agonizing Topeka

his friends will work the G.. n. II. for
all is worth, hoping thereby to get
enough delegates from this organiza-
ton to carry the Colonel to q successful
nomination.
Camp-fireS, reunions, uean-bakes and
such are to be arranged for Martins
convenience. It has been understood
that this organization would not oper-
ate rs political machine, and now we

When the financial complications

The time has arrived when it seems
most important that we should com
municate with friends, patrons, and the
public generally, regarding the prospects
and opportunities for economically Sc
curing such goods as change of season
makes necessary for you to have. Having
secured new and seasonable stock I'M
der advantageous circumstances, and
feeling confident we are in a position 20
offer actual bargains, we look about us
for some method of announcing this
fact in a manner which will convince
you that we are honest and sincere in
our claims. Perhaps we talk strong but
our stock will admit of it. We talk to
the point, not with any desire to boast
over our attractions, but with deter
mination to have it known that you will
stand in your own light if you fail to see
our line of SeaSonable goods. Believing
large sales must necessarily follow the
offering of this stock at slight advances
above cost. We have concluded to turn
our goods quickly and on very small
. margins. Immediate results are not so
much desired as the confidence and
kindly feeling of all our patrons. We
want you to feel that our store is unques-
tiCnably the place for you to trade, and
we are just now in position to offer
great inducements to gain that feeling.
We considersthat failure on the part of
readers to see our elegant and lOW-priCed
new goods, will be grand opportunity
lost. We most earnestly invite inspec-
ton and comparison and trust you Wilt
benefit yourselves as well as us by calling
at an early day. Respectfully
d. A. GILBERT.
