The Idaho Democrat has frequent
ly stated that settlers had been rob-
bed by United States Land Officers
at Boise, and that if the grand jury
would investigate the manner in
which the business of the Land Office
has been conducted, and with due
regard for their oaths, and an honest
AIM to show up dishonesty, indict-
ments would be found against the
officials of the Land Office. The in
dlctments that have been found
proves that the Democrat was good
prophet. If the officers are guilty as
charged by the grand jury, every
good citizen will say that they should
be punished to the full extent of the
law.

MEDICINE LODGE,

Owing 20 the extensive immigration
20 this section, we deem it advisable to
give, in connection with our list, a short
but true description of the present con-
dition Of Barber county, and more es-
pecially of Medicine Lodge.
Barber county was for years used as
grazing country only, and the general
impression was that it was not fitted for
farming. However this idea was soon
dispelled IL is now a thing Of the past,
for better agricultural district cannot
be found. The county is thickly settled
now, and the crops this season have
been positively enormous. Corn, oats,
wheat German millet all flourish.
Allkinds Of fruit, in fact every discrip-
tion prospers. The climate is henltlful,
the soil rich, and the county i'm genera
is beautiful. One of the most beautiful
towns or not the most beautifuD i'm
Barber county or the West. and certain
Iy the most rapidly growing solid town,
Is Medicine Lodge.
Medicine Lodge the county seat is a
solid and substantially built city, has
100 inhabitants, its streets are graded.
has good side walks, first class drainage
good supply Of water, three living
streams aud plenty of good timber,
three churches, graded and High
school. Two banks, two newspapers
and lirst-class hotel accommodations.
Most of the buildings on the main
street are Of brick and many more sub
stantial buildings are going up. The
Southern Kansas railway is extending
It's line from Attica to Medicine
Lodge. The line will be finished and
the cars in full running order by the
first of January. This of course will
cause n great advance in the price of
land. Hence persons wishing to invest
should do so at once. Now is the time
to secure your business and private resi-
dence lots at low prices. Correspon-
dence Solicited. Address, EsTILL &

Miss Sousie set one slipper tip upon the
