Bridge West Of Town

a petition was circulated this week
and generally signed, asking the county
commissioners to make an appropriation
for building bridge across the Medi-
cine river west of town, at what is
known as the Tiff ford. From CONVEX
sations we have had with business men
and others this week, we are convinced
that the commissioners may as we'll
prepare for two bridges across the Med
icine river at or near this place. The
people west Of here will not consent
that the bridge on the south be built
unless they, too, are accommodated.
and we do not blame them. There is a
vast travel into tins city from the west ,
extending even out into Comanche coun-
ty. Much of this travel crosses the Med
icine at the Tiff ford near town or the
Thompson ford. three miles west. As
between the two points, we are of the
opinion that the Thompson ford would
be the proper place for bridge. 1t is
accessible to greater number than the
lliif crossing, and while bridge at
both places would not be amiss, we
would favor the greatest good for the
greatest number.
1t would be well for the commissions
ers to remember that the west must
have a bridge. KIowa will, in all prob
ability, have railroad this year, and
of course, that will cut Off a great deal
of the travel to this city from the south,
and so there viii not be that demand
for bridge on the south that there is
now.

1t has always been noticed that once
n citizen of Barber county it is impossi-
bic to entirely cut loose from the old
associations. Parties have remained
away for eight and ten years, only to
return and settle down permanently. \
case in point occurred, recently: w. IL.
McColl left here about two years ago
for Florida and declared that there he
would live and die. He bought land,
there, and really believed, no doubt,
that he would make Florida his home.
Last Saturday he and his family ap-
peared in Medicine Lodge again; pur-
chased from Jas. Boutwell, their home
place south of Elm, and are now as
happy as can be. Next look for Ward,
Easley, Chaplin, Lacey and the others
who went TO Florida.

BY mutual agreement the several sa-
looms in this city quit selling intoxicat-
ing liquors yesterday morning and will
await further developments before
again handing out anything stronger
than lemonade. Over several of the
bars appears the sign in large letters:
cigars and Lemonade" OF course
this closing will cut off the only relia-
bic source of revenue the city has, and
work on the streets and sidewalks must
be discontinued. Heretofore the reve-
nue. from the saloons has amounted
to about $500 per month, rendering a
direct tax unnecessary. The tax must
be levied now. Did we think that there
would be one drop less liquor consumed
under the new order of things we would
say close the saloons; but we now want
all fair-minded and observing citizens
to put on their glasses and watch close
ly, and see if there is not more drunk
enness. more noise and rOwdyism with
the saloons closed than with them open.

lot 50xl50 feet. "A contract was at once
entered into by the parties to the trans

100, two stories high, and finished in
modern style. Half of this will be for
the opera house and the Sherlock and
Mills half will be cut up into halls and
Offices, with wide central stairway
leading from the street. The lower
stories are to be made into four large
store rooms, with iron and plate glass
fronts The two structures are to be
built at the same time, and when com
pleted will be the most handsome block

The Cherokee Strip Live Stock Asso-
citation met in annual session at Cald-
we'll this week, transacted all the bust
ness before it and adjourned in one day.
The attendance was not large, and no
banquets or festivities whatever were
INDUCED in. From G. ii. Eldred, one of
the directors, who was present we learn
that the association decided to have no
general roundup this year. 1t was also
decided not to publish an association
brand book this year, it being deemed
unnecessary, as the cattle are generally
in the pastures. The old board of di-
rectOrs was reelected as were the Off
GERS OF the association. Mr. Eldred
says that from conversations with the
members of the association he learned
that the loss on through cattle will be
very severe on the Strip, many placing
it as high as 80 per cent. On range cat
tie the losses will be great but by no
means as great as has been reported.
From another source we learn that
communication from the executive
committee of the Cheyenne Ind Arapa-
hoe Cattle company was read, asking
committee to meet in st. Louis, April
|, to consult concerning the passage of
Texas cattle through the Indian Terri
tory. Hon. Eli Titus, Major Moder-
well and Maj. Gregory were named as
such committee. The report of II. r.
Johnson, inspector at Kansas City was
received and read. 1t showed that he
had captured 157 head of strays during
the year, that they sold at an average
of S34.96, OF total of S6,451. Major
Kline, agent for the Southern Kansas
road, stated that his road had informed
the southern cattlemen that coast cat
tie would not be carried over that road.
that his road had not made any con-
tracts to carry the coast cattle and
would not do so. He was very emphat-
&c about the matter and thought no ex-
IRENE southern cattle would be offered
at this point or Hume well for ship
ment. The following resolution was
adopted and request made that it
be given the associated press:
Resolved, That it Is the sense of the
Cherokee Strip Live Stock associate on,
10 convention assembled, that no OBJ
lection should be made to the driving
of Texas cattle over the established
trail to Caldwell and Hunnewell, Kan,
provided they are confined strictly to
the trail and quarantine bounds.

A New Enterprise.

IL was Col. Sellers who figured out
that if he could buy up all the corn in

pork business. and will hereafter not
only raise their own meat; but will
have enough left to supply the town.
They have purchased feeding lots south
of town and will buy number of stock
hogs. These will be kept growing and
fat from the Stops of the Grand hotel.

W. W. Cook is fixing up his new ad-
dition, west of town with good taste.
He has it laid of into l6 large blocks,
containing total Of 26l lots. Around
each block hehas plowed two burroughs,
one at the outside of the sidewalk,
and the other inside the lots about three
feet. In these burroughs he will plant,
at convenient distances, catalpa and
box-elder trees. The stock has already
been ordered and will be planted on Ar
Dor Day, if not sooner. Mr.. Cook is
making no effort to sell lots, but We
predict that as soon as the trees start
to growing that the lots will go OFF with
lightning rapidity.
