Caldwell is in bad way. certain.
Lately the proIibitionists have been
very meldlesomc in their attempts at
restraining the sale of liquor and much
bad feeling has been aroused. Last
week man named Frank Noyes was
taken from his home and hung by I'M
known persons. II is charged that
Noyes burned the house of Mr. Blair,
editor Of the prohibition paper, the Free
Press, several weeks since. and that lie
was hung for this crime. This is nice
state of affairs in civilized country;
but it is what may he expected of any
effort u enforce a law obnoxious to a
majority of the people.

Citizens indicated.

Two weeks ago deputy United
States marshal came here with war
rants for the arrest OF ;. *. w. Field.
Mayor ;. +. Stone and Joseph Smith.
and subpGnas for several witnesses.
The warrants were issued by j. u. Wor-
rell, a United States commissioner, of
Larned. Kansas, and directed that the
accused he taken before him December
,, to answer Il complaint made by Vim.
Il. Ramsey. Of Medicine Lodge, charg-
ing them with perjury.
The Offense was alleged to have been
committed October /, 1888, when Joe.
Smith made final proof on his pre-
emptiOn claim. Messrs. Field and Stone
being two of his witnesses.
The accused appeared with their at
tOrney, +. Sample, of this city. The
case was continued until the 9Th inst,
when it was commenced, with United
States District Attorney w. G. Perry
for the government. Only two wit
nesses were examined, G.. b. CuTrie and
n. 5. Priest, both of this county. The
prosecution seeing it had 10 case with
out other evidence, asked for and OBJ
tanned Il continuance until the 18th.
The accused We're then allowed to come
home at their own expense, and this
week file back IL LaTned. In the mean
time other witnesses had been sub
ppnatd here and four of these also
went To Larned.
y careful examination of Judge b.
Lacey, Jacob Swank and John and Jas.
llutchins still revealed no case for the
government, and the commissioner on
his own motion dismissed the, case, an
nouncing there was not even the shadow
of evidence against the accused. They
were accordingly discharged.
Right here and now the INDEX wants
to say that the people Of this commun-
ity regard this proceeding which placed
three OF our honOred citizens in such a
light, as an outrage; they consider that
Bill Ramsey has done an irreparable
damage to the community in which he
lives and on which he relies for support
i'll his business; they regard that he had
no foundation for his meddlesome
course, and that he deserves the severest
condemnation from all classes. lie was
not even n citizen of the county when
the alleged offense was committed, but
was, We believe, citizen in the Indian
Territory; and when he was called on
to testify before the commissioner, he
knew nothing. He certainly stands in
a most unenviable light before his
neighbOrs. lie has caused the arrest OF
three good citizens and has placed then
at heavy expense and great inconveni.
ence, all to satisfy his own malice.
Where will such proceedings end il
such irresponsible beings are permitted
TO harass our people? Who may not bt
subjected to trouble if men like Ramse,
are permitted TO use the United State:
government to satisfy their persona
dislikes?
Every good citizen i'm the county is in
terested in having such proceeding:
stopped, and the sooner it is done tn,
better.

Governor Martin has announced his
willingness to sign the death warrant of
Willie Baldwin, the young man who
killed his sister in AtchsOn last July.
II Baldwin is executed it will be the
first official hanging in Kansas. 1t has
been the custom to sentence the coil
victed murdercrs To one year in the
pcnitentiary, when the governor can
then sign his death warrant and fix the
time for the execution. No governor
in this state has ever signed death
warrant; but it is hoped Governor
Martin will set the example and that
the thirty odd murderers now in the
penitentiary awaiting execution will be
strung up.

1t has long since been claimed that
the prohibitOry amendment would breed
liars and deceivers, cause quarrels be-
tween neighboTs. fill the court dockets
with criminal cases and put the counties
to great expense. 1t is being demon
strated every day that this objection
able law is doing more. At Dodge
City thousands of dollars worth OF
property has been destroyed 10y fire
lately and there are many who claim
that it was Cn account of the whiskey
troubles. Then the affair at Caldwell,
last week, where man was hung mys-
teriously. and the trouble the mayor and
other officials of that town are in, all
on account of the prohibitory law. No
less liquor is beng consumed than for
merly; there is just as many crimes be-
ing committed by drunken men, and
yet prohibitionists have the gall to say
that tire law Is a success in Kansas.

Additional Local.
New School Books.

The school board of this district, No.
/, have adopted the publications of
George Sherwood & Co for the public
school at this place for term of FIVE
years. There was a general under
standing that system Of books had
been adopted in 1851, but it appears
that this was not the case, as tie
records of the board and the county
superintendent 5 records DO not show
that such an adoption was made. Now,
il is to be hoped that IA record will be
made of this last transaction and that
the patrons of the public school will
not be again surprised with change.
In this case the publishers exchanged
new books for the OLD ones without any
extra charge, and no great hardship fol-
lowed; and we understand that the re-
tail dealers have agreed to sell the new
books cheaper than those discarded
were sold for. 1t is to be hoped this is
also true.
About the sherwood publications. we
know but very little. Before any other
districts adopt them, however, we
would suggest that other publishing
houses and agents be notified that there
may be competition. This thing of al
lowing one school book agent to come
in and dictate his own terms, rush his
contract through without letting the
patrons even know that change is i'll
contemplation, does not appear the cor
rect thing for the school directors to do.
Other school districts i'm the county
should not proceed with such haste, but
should give all responsible publishing
houses a chance to bid. Because a
state superintendent says the books of
a particular house are the best, or be
cause some salaried school principal
wants them adopted. or because the re-
tail dealers recommend change IS not
necessarily an argument for a change
All of these may he and frequently are
owned soul and body by the publishing
houses.
