party pay well for it and sent him on
his way wiser, and we hope a better
man.
Sun City should be incorporated.
There are at the present time, within
the legal corporate limits, about two
hundred and seventy persons. Let us
incorporate by all means, and get down
to business.
We observe by an exchange, that a
Nevada, Mo-, woman elOped while her
husband was taking bath. Our bath
tub is for sale at a bargain. We have
private information that Ed. Caruthers,
of the Medicine Lodge Index, has even
fired the soap out of his office. There's
nothing like being on the safe side.
The railroad reaching Medicine Lodge
will benefit Sun City in a number of
ways. Sun City will then occupy the
position now enjoyed by Medicine Lodge
in being the objective point ahead of
the road. We understand the time ia
BILE of the Southern Kansas will be
changed so that trains from the east
will reach Medicine Lodge about noon.
Such being the fact, passengers going
west can leave Medicine Lodge after
the train arrives, and remain here over
uight. making this general objective
point.

a sensible suggestion was made this
week by gentleman who has been
watching the land contest cases. 1t
was that when settler has reason to
believe that he has not in every way
strictly complied with the law in the
matter of improvements, residence,
cultivation, etc, he should himself be
the first one TO ask that his final proof
papers be returned for correction. He
might lay the full facts before the land
Office and this would be better than
having some meddlesome neighbor do
1t. The suggestion is worth consider
alton.

1t is reported that Harper county is
very anxious to have the next legislature
change the line between Barber and
Harper counties and give to the latter
all of range 10. That would take Sha-
ron and HazeltOn from Barber county
and some of the best property we have,
including perhaps 10 miles of railroad,
the main line and Kiowa branch. We
have no idea that the legislature will
even for a moment listen to such a prop
osition; but just the same, it is well
enough that our people be posted on

tory claimed, range 10, was once in
Harper county; but that was before that
county was organized, and before it had
any population.
