Why cannot our grocers and rcstau

and sold. We arc sure that ifthe deal
ers In flour would enter into such nj
agreement, our millers would let then
have flour at rates that would Civ,
them much better profit than they
are now receiving. And think of the
market for wheat that would be provi-
dcd here if our own mills were required
to manufacture all the flour that is sold
here. Not only that, but the mills
would probably be justified i'll enlarg-
ing their capacity, or at least in run
ming over time, thus giving occasion
for more labor. And above all the
money which is now sent clear out Of
the county would be kept in circula-
ton right here. Are not all these
things worth considering?
We see by Medicine Lodge and Sha-
ron papers that our old friend, r. b.
Whitaker is q candidate before the re-
publican convention for the office of
County Attorney of Barber county.
OF course it isn't our "put in," but we
cannot let slip the opportunity to say
known him from his and our youth up
and we know absolutely no evil of him.
We never knew him to say or do
mean, untruthfIl or dishonest thing.
He has always been hard student and
when after graduating with honOrs at
old Williams College, he went into the
law, he went deep. His examination
for admission to the bar was among the
best ever passed by any candidate
before this court and called forth many
compliments from the examining
committee and from other attorneys
who heard it. In short, we can assure
our republican brethren Of Barber
county that in r. B. Whitaker they
will find a candidate whose past record,
personal and political, is absolutely
spOtless and if they elect him they
will find in him an officer of unusual
legal attainments, one who will be-
faithful to every trust and who will do
his whole duty without fear or favor.
A good many people have seen
warm weather, but it is doubtful if
any one ever experienced much more
intense heat than was visited upon US
the first of the week. Certainly, as
far as we ourselves are concerned, we
never have witnessed such startling
results from mere sun heat as have
been reported to us within the past
few days. For example on Monday
afternoon Mr.. Asa Jones happened to
be standing in the sun light few
when friend noticed the
ends of his mustache on the side eX-
posed to the sun, beginning to curl up
md turn gray. On examination it
was found that they were actually
the reflection of the sun from
Mr.. Jones' cheek having set them Oh
ire. On the same day Street Commits
'ioner Evans noticed that in the pine |
idewalks most exposed to the sun the !
rails had become so hot that the boards |
we're smoking and he employed the
.ntire street force for several hours in |
hauling water and sprinkling the |
walks. It is undoubtedly due to his
and exertions that a Sc
ious cOnflagratiOn was prevented. On
Tuesday a man from the country |
whose name we failed TO learn, left his !
cam exposed for some time and when |
,e came to go home he found that the |
ron hooks at the end of his tugs had |
ecOme so heated that the leather in |
which they were fastened was ]
