come permanent resident of our town,
having recently moved his family here.
The cold wave of Monday last was
the occasion for getting out the stoves
and pipes from their place of storage
during the hot summer months, and the
adjustment of the same. We venture to
say, was attended with smooty faces
and wild gentle words well calculated
to stirreth up wrath.
e. E. Myers, for many years res

District Court.

The Ford county District Court is in
session this week, with Judge Strang on
the bench. The case of Young, the
forger, was called and the defendant
plead guilty to two courts in the indict-
ment. Buck Green, a negro, for horse
stealing. was sentenced to two years
and six months. The whisky eases"
were quashed. New indictments will
be filed. The information against
whisky sellers must be made from act
ual knowledge Of the violations Of the
law, so the supreme court has lately
decided. The information against the
saloon keepers in Dodge City was filed
by the County Attorney. Under the
decision of the court this would not
hold good. Prosecutions will be ex-
tremely difficult under the decision Of
the court

Total Depravity.

An obscene circular was discovered
in this city Monday last. A bundle Of
these circulars was picked up on the
street, having fallen out Of the pocket
of young man who lives here. The
printing Of these circulars was done in
the Democrat Office in this city, under
the direction of the editor Of that lnfa-
nous sheet. The arrest of Edwards
was made Monday evening, by Sheriff
Sughrue, who swore out the warrant.
The arrest of Charley, the young man
who ordered the printing, was also
made, and these dispensers of villianous
trash were admitted to bail, and will
have to answer to the charge of printing
and circulating obscene literature.
We were shown a copy of the print
ed slip containing the filthy matter, and
we must say that we are utterly sur
prised to learn that there is man in
Dodge City SO low in moral instincts
as to give such stuff circulation. The
vilest slum on the continent wouldn' t
tolerate the filthy circular discovered
Monday last. A Democratic editor is
left to disgrace his Office and calling by
the printing of such detestable matter.
We are glad to chronicle the fact
that the better sentiment of the COM
munity is growing sufficiently strong to
ferret out the perpetrators of out
rage. and to give them the benefit of
the law. Every one who heard of the
obscene matter condemned the authors
in unmeasured terms Sheriff Sughrue
and some of our citizens hastily and
successfully brought the perpetrators
of the outrage to punishment, and de-
serve the thanks of an injured COM
munity. Some of this vile matter had
found its way to the school children,
and the capture of the vile print and the
arrest of the perpetrators was timely.

Clark City, a newly laid out town 40
miles south of Dodge City, is to be re-
moved to another location two miles
south of that point, and it is to bear
the enphonious name of Ashland. The
cause of this consolidation is not appar-
ent, but it is believed some railroad
scheme is the underlying power of the
change. Towns in the west are magic
like. Some of them grow like mush-
rooms, springing into existence under
the dcws of solitary night fall, while
some of the towns grow painfully less
on paper. These ephermerals are the
prodigies of the West. They are the
illuminatlons of the fertile magma
tons of the energetic pioneer. But
considerable force and energy is
brought into use to make the town go.
immigration is encouraged, and all of
the forms of business and life arc gone
through with in order that the embroyo
town may have name and place in the
galaxy of the world. But, alas! how
vain and incomplete are all things which
the hand of man may do and undo. No
sooner has the town future been plan
edits public buildings been drawn and
the sites selected than does rival. sap
its foundation and draw its sustenance.
In this particular instance, Ashland
absorbs Clark, and the memory of Clark
is no longer desired. Time will make
its destiny. Ashland is a more eligible
site, so said-on the line Of proposed
railroad, and surrounding it is a greater
plain for agricultural success. In
Ashland the foundation is laid for So
briefly and good order. No deed to a
town lot is given without a particular
proviso being made, and this provision
is wholesome one. Ashland will
thrive and prosper under 1t. The con-
dition is made that no whisky shall be
bartered on the premises or lot sold.
This is temperance enacting clause
that will induce good results.

Court Proceedings.

7, Sci
Oct 2lst, 1884.
Court opened this morning with the
usual impressive ceremonies. The
wheels of justice having become lit
tie rusty from disuse, needed oiling
slightly before working we'll. The gen
ial Judge Strang occupied the bench
with his usual dignity. Among the
members Of the bar, your reporter not
iced Hon. j. T. Whitelaw, who, by
virtue of his official position as County
Attorney, takes rank as the leader Of
the bar. He is in hopes to lay aside
the robes of county attorney, to put on
the senatorial toga. but the probabilities
are we will Rush him out Of sight; lie
seems to look aged and feeble. Next
is NJ. w. Sutton, St. Michael, he, of
the "Oily tongue" The great impos-
sible to understand. The sphinx as it
were. Then we noticed Haun, of Hodg-
man, who would have been very tall
man if they had not turned up so much
Of him for feet. And there was Jones,
T. S. Jones, Col. Jones, the handsome
Tom with his bright democratic face;
and shaggy Abbott from Garden City;
with Fred T. NJ Wenie, he of the silky
mustache, the only member of the bar
who is known as ladies' man. The la
die s pet, as it were. And there was
the Scholarly Milton. He looks pale
and care worn as though the labors Of
the campaign were telling on him. And
Swan, who looked sad when the whisky
cases were dismissed, and Borton weep
ing for the attorneyship and will not be
comforted because he was scooped. And
the smiling Pettle-en, the blond states
man from Duck Greek, and the distin-
guished chairman of the Democrat GEN.
trail committee.
Since coming west, he has developed
into a irst-class politician and pretty
successful one by the way. Without
sheriff Sughrue, who seemed to be ev-
cry where present and busy as hen
with three ROSTERS, and his jolly force,
under sheriff Tate, the court would
be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet
left out.
1t is expected that the criminal bust
ness will absorb the most of the term
and the civil cases will have to go over
to the next term.
Few persons of the county were not
iced.
The boys all seem anxious to get
through So that politics can receive
that attention that the Importance of
the occasion requires G.
