The ardent love, the jealous thros,
Which burned and ragged observation-disclosures,

Strong passions owns my reasons sway;
Calm pleasure comes when loves bestowed
And quiet friendship so0ohes my way,
Along life's peaceful autumn road
No unknown future threatens i'll:
No fierce ambition dives me on,

Militiai The idea Of calling out the
militia to enforce law that prohibi-
tionists declare Is slready a successl
Why call ON the governor To send sol
diers tO change the public opinion On
this prohibition question:
II the county officers cannot stop the
sale Of liquor, the militia can't. A.
IOng as juries made up of the citizens
OF a community will not convict men
charged with violating the prohibition
law, i'm that community, there is mo- use
Of outsiders stepping in to meddle into
local affairs.
Every day II Is becoming more evi-
dent that the prohibitionists In Kansas
are lot of busy-bodys, that they are
stirring up local quarrels where peace
would otherwise reign, that they are
doing the cause of real Temperance
harm and are regularly advertising our
peacable and prosperous state to the
world as vast hOt-bed Of vice, immor-
ality and lawlcssuess.

PROHIBITION AT DODGE CITY.

Last week, Albert Griffin and A. II.
Jetmore, organizers aud strikers for the
prohibitiOnists of Kansas, went down
% Dodge City To purify that wicked
city, enforce the law and shut up the
saloons. Their coming had been adver-
tised and q crowd VI several hundred
assemqedf ~ the depot to welcome
them. This demonstration was regard
ed by the purifiers rs entirely too cor
dial, and they accordingly kept close
in there rooms and did not make any
speeches. To add further 10 their dis
comfort the town was pretty well filed
up with whiskey and several fights oc-
cured ON the streets. That did settle it.
and Griffin and Jetmore struck out for
Topeka ON the first train. Arriving
there, they told Gov. Martin n terrible
story about the lawlessness OF Dodge
City and actually wanted him 10 send
the militia down tlerel And it appears
from the dispatches that the Governor
swallowed a part Of their story, as he
has promised 10 call out the soldiery, IL
necessary.
The people of Dodge City, in NE
meantime are rs peaecable and law
abiding as they have ever been. and
cannot understand how their everyday
playfulness eau be construed INTO law
lessness. They sell and drink whiskey
and beer the same as the people OF To-
peka, Atchison, LeavenwUrth, Medi-
e'ne Lodge and all other cities and
towns in Kansas do; street fights occur
"ccasionlly, and IL is not likely that this
order OF things viii be changed very
soon.

cine dance has quieted them somewhat,

At Ellis, in this county, last night, a
terrible afflicted family boarded the train
for Henry County. 1t consisted of the wife
of Parson Hale of this county and her four
children. The mother is over seventy
years Of age, and her children are helpless
idiots. The oldest is a gray-haired man
fifty three years old. Aside from his i'm.
beci!ity his physical de.ormati"n, are pit
liable. His legs ara misshaped, and when
assuming a sitting posture they extend
straight out, being totally void of action
at the knees. The ether brother is not so
badly deforned, but is almost incapable of
moving himself. One OF the two sisters can
walk, but sometimes loses her balance and
falls heavily. The other has but little con-
troll Of her body.
The history OF the family would ccr-
taInly repay tho careful Investigations of
medical men. Parson Hal, and his wife
were own cousins. Mr.. Hale's parents
were cousins, and Mrs. Hale's father and
mother were related. Tho terrible condi-
ton of the family is doubtless attributable
to this series of inter marriages.
or eight children born to this un-
happy couple seven were imbe-
Giles and a majority of them were more or
less deformed. Parson is himself a suf-
ferer by reason of the consanguinity of
his parents. He has always been regard
ed as more than eccentric, and during the
past few years he has steadily grown more
erratic. He frequently absents himself
from home, and for weeks even his wife
docs not know his whereabouts. He has
now been away nearly three months and
1t is not known whether he is still alive.
During the greater part of his life he has
been on exhorter in the Methodist Church,
and during that time his paroxysms o.
religious excitement have been regarded
as evidences OF mental alteration. For
fifteen years Mr.. Hale and his family have
lived in Vernon County, and here three of
his unfortunate children have died. He
owned little farm near Moundville and
until lately managed to exc out scanty
living, but age deprived him of his ability
to work aud tho county has been helping
them. They go to Henry County to be
cared for by relatives. Mrs. Hale is a
woman of average mental powrr and of
moderately good ply sical development
The ouly child which was born with an
average mind is now at work on farm in
this county.

INDIAN SCARE.

All sorts Of rumors have been circula-
ted here this week about the Cheyenne
Indians being on the war path. And
the Eastern newspapers have published
the most sensational stories about the
red skins devasting Pratt county and
numbering the people. Here at Medi-
cine Lodge all such rumoTs are laughed
at. as there is no truth in them. The
Indians are not within hundred and
fifty miles Of Barber county; not even
one has passed through here, and none
have been in COmanche county west of
here, this season. In order to get to
Pratt county they would have to pass
through Barber or COmanche. One ru-
NOR was circulated this week to the eff
feet that band of Cheyennes had pass
ed west of COldwater, the county-seat
of COmanche; another was that they
were in the Territory south of here on
the Drumm range, and would attack
New Kiowa; and still another was that
they had killed several families and
driven all Of tie stock out of the wes-
tern part of Pratt county. SO alarmed
we're they that In Comanche numbers of
families left their ranches and drove to
the towns, many going to Sun City and
Lake City, in Barber county. Several
hundred persons went from Pratt coun-
ty over TO Kingman last Tuesday.
There Is no reason for this scare, and
the ridiculous lies were no doubt start
eel by persons anxious to profit by the
excitement by stealing what was left
by the frightened citizens after they
had pulled out for places Of safety.
Here In Barber county the old settlers
have given the Indian scare barely n
second thought, knowing well that If
the Cheyennes were to go on the war
path they would not attempt to enter
the settlements where the population is
so thick. Then, il is known that il the
Cheyennes do break away from their
reservation they will start north, but
will want To go through the country
where the fewest people are, where there
are no wire fences to interrupt their
progress.
Tie truth appears to be, as we gather
from the latest dispatches from Fort
Reno, that the Cheyennes have not even
decided on war; that there are sixteen
companies of soldiers at Reno to stop
them, if they were to attempt depreda-
tions, and that many more troops are
being sent there, ready for any emer-
gency.
One dispatch dated the 7th announ-
ces that some of the Cheyennes have
broken away and gOne into the Panhan-
die of Texas; but this may not be true.
But certain is that there is no danger
in Barber, Comanche or even Clark
county; and rs before suggested the
rumOrs of invasions are started by de-
signing men. bent OF plumber.
So don't get excited.

THE LATEST.

Since putting the above In type, it ap-
pears that the ridiculous rumors were
not confined to one place, but all along
the Territory border false alarms were
sounded, and back east the people real
ly believed that all of southern Kansas
was being raided by Indians.
Gov. Martin received and answered
more than n hundred kilograms We'd
nesday, and most OF these were asking
for help.
lie in turn urged on the L. s. au-
thorities the importance of sending
soldiers toi protect the border from In
dians. The result is that four cumpa-
nies have been ordered to Kingman,
and four companies 10 New KiOwa, i'm
this countyi
This announcement will cause sensi-
BILE people TO smile. The idea of send
ing soldiers to Kingman to protect the
people from the Indiansl And the idea
Of sending soldiers into Barber county
where there is no danger, and this be-
fore the people have even been in the
the least alarmed or asked for protec-
tion.
Barber county will be greatly injur-
ed by these lies originated by "smart
alecks," circulated by Anticipated news
editors ON the daily ypapers and believed
by weak minded, timid people back
east. Common sense, common judge
ment should show the frightened idiots
back east, and even in this state, that
there is no danger in southern Kansas;
and that there is but little danger in
the Territory near these Indians.
Gov. Martin has established head
quarters for the militia at Dodge, and
has sent the adjutant general and the
attorney general there, and all the
available arms belonging to the state.
From Dodge City arms win be distrib-
uted to Meade, Clark and Comanche
counties, and scouts will be sent along
the border.
The latest dispatches are as follows:

GETTING AID OF sLeMIsHEs.
2Oles and Tattoo Marks Removed by

A man with q small mole on his chin
climbed mp the stoo of doctors Office In
West Nineteenth street not long ago.
81 want TO Set rid OF the mole" ;" he said,
VIII IN young doctor came out and asked
him what the matter was.
Step right in. and I'll do k," the doctor
responded, as he reached for large ma.
ho:any box containing a polished electri.
cal machine, with insu' u'ated wire running
from the battery to q neat carved handle
The doctor sat the patient down in an easy
chair. threw his head back, and dressed
the mole deftly with local an@sthetic thai
gradually benumbed the flesh until It wa,
robbed of all sensitiveness. Then the
doctor fitted tiny strip of platinum into
the handle and turned ON the full force Of
the battery. The platinum was aglow with
pure white heat in a twinkling. The
doctor drew ir slowly and carefully
through the mole as il he were using o
razor blade. The patient felt the glow Of
the intense heat through his cheek, but the
burning away OF the mole was as painles,
as It was rapid. When the soothing salve
had bcen applied the doctor sent the
patient away happy. He told him that in
less than month the wound would heal
without leaving a scar.
"Few of the public know of the process,
although 1t is simply an elabor alton of the
one used to remove cancers and similar
Prowths on the neck and body" young
Police Surgeon Satterlee said. "Ladies
who would DO otherwise faultless in com =.
p!exion can have blotches painlessly re-
moved by the same process without mark
inS the flesh. Superfluous hair can be
permanently eradicated in a seconds time
by single tou' h of the platinum needle.
Its greatest usefulness, however, is in re-
moving tattooing marks from the arms
and hands. About nine boys out Of every
dozen are crazy to disfgure themselves
that wav, and they regret it for years
afterward because they think the di fiy-
urement is. for life. Nobody ever made a
bigger mistake.
"Any piece of tattooin- on the body can
be entirely removed. and. if properly done,
no scar need be left. The process is a
gradual one, because the eradication has
to he done piece-meal, and care exercised
to prevent the platinum needle from burn
ing more than half through the inner Gu
ticle. This caution will render the scar
ring o: the skin after the wound heals i'm
possible"
"Well, swan" cried one of Captain
Williams Sergeants, suddenly barring his
arm and displaying some fine sailor tat
tooing. 'I'll come around tomorrow and
have you begin on that. It's made me un-
happy for twenty years to look at it."
