Arctic circle Winters it does not seek low

tame and will allow person to approach
very near it without taking alarm.

A man named Walton passed near here last

The juicy watermelon the olOrifcrOus musk
melon and the warty, git-up-and-dust cucumber

A report came here last Friday that the Kiowa

keep up the work until the cattle were forced to
leave These Indians have 10 idea whatever as

A stage robbery was attempted on the Wichita

week, about eighteen miles below Clarendon, in
the Brown & McClelland pasture Two men
sprang ont from the roadside with the traditional

there was some unpieasantness in the atmosphere
and that just there wasn't canny place to be,
and SO they tucked their little tails, laid back
their ears and snaked the vehicle down the road
in a way that made things crack and the driver
hold his breath. The would be robbers followed
for little time calling a halt, but as at each new
call the mules from Mexico gave their tails u more
emphatic wiring they soon gave up in disgust.
This is the first attempt at stage ROBBERY in our
section OF the state, and We do not believe the
business can ever be very thriving in these parts.
1t is only at very long intervals that paying haul
could be made, business is done mostly by
checks and drafts, payment on which could be

''DOOMED TO DEFEAT,

Gen. John 3. Henderson, of St.
Louis, chairman of the recent national
Republican convention, speaking of the
political outlook the general remarked
that if the Democratic national conven-
ton had consulted him previously it
could not have made nominations to
please him more than Cleveland and
Hendricks. ''Why, said he, Blaine
and Logan gill snow that ticket under
SO deep that it will take all Of next
summer to dig it out. Cleveland will
lose his own state by all the way from
90, 900 to 50, 900; he will lose Indiana
by good round majority, and Con-
necticut, New jersey, and very prob
ably Virginia and North Carolina will
form part of the Republican column
in November. Cleveland is the weak
est man the Democrats could have
nominated and they will realize it when
the returns come in from the Novem-
Der election. The Democrats are once
more doomed to defeat.

An Auction Sale of Beans.

The Bean crop last year was far beyond the
home demand, and one of the Garden City irriga-
tors overstoked the Dodge City market by over a
ton Of beans. This surplus cargo of beans was
put under tn" care of Joe McAdams, who stored
the delightful beans in sacks in hi. barn. On Fri
day last the wagon load of beans WAS brought to
the suction block and disposed of to the highest
bidder, but the lucky purchaser Of the damaged
beans did not pay an exorbitaut price, the great
load Of beans bringing only two dollars. The
nanle @! the purchaser is j. L. Painter, who re-
sides neSs Oferie. Kas. The beans were mostly
damaged stock. few sacks having the appearance
Of being sound. This bean transaction not a
profitable one to the irrisatOr. Receiving two dol
lars for his stock and paying storage he came out
some dollars behind. The display of the cargo Of
beans brought number II Spectators to the auc-
ton scene, but there were no bidders among this
congregation Jake Collar was there looking ont
for bargain, but he could only suggest bean
sonp. and the quality Of beans would have been
100 much for an ordinary Dodge City soup house,
so Jake's speculation was not considered. 1t YVES
said that the city dairies might find profit in the
damaged beans, but no oIe there 10 buy.
The beans were shipped TO farmers home, and
the uses he viii make Of the beans will be found
in the increased fat on the ribs Of his fine pigs.

To the Editor Of the Times.

TO the ECltOr OI the lImes
If anything was needed to show the
utter contempt in which the present
city administration is held even by those
in whose interests it was placed in pow
err the manner in which the order made
by the Mayor last Saturday to close the
different places Of business on Sunday
would be sufficient Not one obeycd
the order One or two were closed
not however out Of regard for the order
but because they chose to do so.
Every saloon in the city was open as
usual, even the Mayors $, and if it had
not been reported on the streets no one
would have known that the order had
been issued. Low, indeed, in the pub
lie esteem must the city government
have become when even its friends dis
regard its orders with impunity when
they know full well that such disregard
will only tend to make the admistra-
ton still more stencil { if such a thing
be possible) in the nostrils of the COM
munity.
It is maxim as true in the admin
istration Of law as in anything else,
that ''likc begets like" violations Of
one law engenders the disregard Of all
law, and so vitiates the public mind
that we soon become familiar with vice
and crime and soon come to look upon
such things with impunity. We see
this illustrated in tracing the course of
the present city administration.
Under the last administration places
of business were closed on Sunday.
The first Sunday after the last city
election they were open and have been
open ever since. twas not long until
the partitions were taken out of the sa-
looms, and gambling tables brought to
the front, the dance hall started up and
in the language of the street ''every-
thing thrown wide open" The result
is two men have been murdered, shoot
ing and stabbing have been frequent,
and from outside, the town is looked
upon to-day as only the abode of evil
and the hot-bed of crime. One would
think that those people who claim to be
respectable and especially church mem
bcrs who helped elect the present city
officers would feel proud of their achieve
ment. Crime runs riot, city officers
receive a commission on gambling; the
police force is recruited from graduates
of the penitentiary, respectable ladies
are insulted on the street, and yet a
man that objects to all this is fan-a-
tick,

JOHN KELLY'S WARNING.

The last number of the Irish World
publishes letters from thirty-two prom
inent Irish Democrats, residing in diff
fcrent states of the union, repudiating
Cleveland and debating their intention
to vote for Blaine and Logan. Most
of these letters are able and eloquent,
showing the writer's to be far above the
average in education and intelligence.
No one can correctly measure the oppo-
sitlon to Cleveland among Irish Demo
Gratis who does not regularly read the
World. The uprising of American-Ir-
ish citizens is truly wonderful. and full
ly yindicates the statement John Kelly
made at Chicago that neither he nor
Tammany nor anybody else could in

Americans to vote for Grover Cleve-

1t is generally known that the south and south
west part of Ford county have received many new
settlers within the past year. Each new settle
ment or colony has TOWNSHIP scheme and the
several sections of these. portions Of the county
have railroad prospects. There is one settler in
old .'Meade county who settled there in 1867, be-
fore the Indians were driven out Of the country
in anticipation of a railroad. Ec is still living in
hopes, and we believe his hopes VIII be realized.
We understand that many people are induced to
locate in the southern portions of the county with
view held out that railroad line will traverse
the southern line Of the county, and that the pro-
posed Medicine Lodge branch road is the objective
one. Railroad prospects are thin and airy some
times, and ''longways between and just where
