Talks With C;t1zens

w. l.. Barker, who lives five miles
north of Old Kiowa, said that if the
river was bridged near here, Medicine
Lodge would get the trade of nearly
everyone down the river. ''Our neigh
bors take their produce 10 New Kiowa
and can't sell it. Even butter and eggs
cannot find market there when offered
by the farmers" said Mr.. Barker.
John I. Jesse, who lives west of town
SIX miles on the Lake City road, saws
that there should be bridge over the
stream near his place, where the road
has been changed. The cost would be
but little, and it would remove the diff
Guilty OF one of the heavy pulls on that
road.
u. I'll. Burgess, who has farm nine
miles southwest of here. gave it as his
opinion that every citizen of the south
west part of the county would contrib
ute money or labor towards bridging the
Medicine river at this place.
j. A. McCarty, one of the pioneer
stockmen of this county, and one of the
last TO admit that cattle could not live
without feeding, came in this week
with several hundred pounds of snow
white lard, of his own make. '.Sav.

raising hogs and making lard? 1t has
not been long since tallow was all l
cared for. Heyl" Mac will prove to be
as industrious farmer as he was a
'cattleman, and his hundreds of friends
will be glad to see him succeed in any
undertaking.
POSTMASTER Palmer and W. A. Clink-
scales, of Deerhead, were here this week
and expressed the hope that Deerhead
township would be established before
the fall election. They don't want to
be regarded as secessionists, but they
do want to be cut off of large township
where they have but little voice in the
selection of officers.
Frank McAlister was seen bidding on
team of horses that Judge O'Bryan
was selling, and he got the animals for
$50 including a set of harness. what
do you want with more horses when
you have more than You can count"
asked the INDEX. ''Why that is cheaper
than l can steal them for" was his re-
ply. And then he turned around and
tried to sell the same horses to a citizen
for S125.

Cost Of Living.

There are frequent inquiries made as
to the cost of living in Medicine Lodge,
and the impression appears to have
gained ground that this is an expensive
place. 1t is not the cheapest in the
world, and prices are not as high as
they generally are on the frontier. Day
board can be had for $3.50 to SIS per
week, at the hotels, boarding houses
and restaurants, and this includes good
food. Board and lodging costs from SIS
to $40 per week. Transient hoard. bv
the day from 81 to $3.50. Or if a man
of family would prefer keeping house
he would be subjected to the following
prices:
Rent, houses of three rooms, SO to
SIS; four rooms, SIS to so; stables, 50
to So per month. Coal, soft, So to 50;
hard, $l4. Wood, $3.50 to 81 per load
OF wagon bed full, stove length. Beef,
in bulk or by the quarter, Z cents.
Pork, in bulk, cents. Lard, to 12s
cents. Butter, 20 to 80 cents. Eggs. Is
to % cents. Flour, 81 to So per 100.
Meal, $3.50 per 100. Potatoes, IS cents
to Sl.5O per bushel. Turnips, 80 cents
per bushel. Cabbage. to cents per
pound. Apples, 81 to s. per bushel.
Hay, Sc per ton now; 81 in the fall.
Corn, 80 to 40 cents, most of the time.
staple groceries, dry goods and cloth
ing, and in fact all kinds of merchan-
disc sell as cheap here as anywhere in
the east, with freight added. Mer-
chants do not appear to make any more
profit on their goods than their eastern
brethren.

The Probate Iuasa nsa

Judge Hardy Informed the INDEX
yesterday that he would be compelled
to revoke all permits issued to drug
gists in Medicine Lodge to sell intoxi-
eating liquors. Said he:
Every one of them have abused the
privilege and forbearance has ceased to
be virtue with me. / saw five barrels
of liquor consigned to a druggist going
to saloon in this town, and that set
tied 1T with me. have had the i'm
preston for some time that the drug
glsts have been supplying the saloons,
but could not get sufficient evidences;
but now am satisfied"
Continuing, the judge showed letter
from the railroad officials in which they
state that they will not receive for
shipment liquor consigned to any one
unless he has a permit from the probate
judge. Now, you will see, that only
druggists who have permits can get
liquor shipped in here, and it can be
set down as sure thing that there
will be few permits from now on. The
people are houhding me continually to
be more strict, and now propose to do
my duty to the queens taste"

Roads on Section Lines.

Reference has been made in these
columns to bill that has been intro
duced IN the legislature by Mr.. McNeal
providing for the opening of public
roads on section lines. The commits
sloners are not compelled to do this, but
are authorized to do so where they NAV
deem it practicable. Following is the
bill in full, as 1t has passed the house
and will likely pass the senate:
Section l. The board of county COM
missioners of Barber, Hodgman, Trego.
Thomas and Edwards counties are
hereby authorized and empowered to
open public highways of the width of
sixty feet. wherever they may deem the
same practicable for travel. along sec
ton lines, within the limits of the
counties of Barber, Hodgman, Thomas,
Trego and Edwards.
Sec. >. 1t shall be the duty of the
various road Overseers in the county TO
open, or cause to be opened, such road
along section lines so declared by the
county commissioners, first giving
notice to the owners of the lands
through which The roads may run, or to
their agents if residing in the county.
notifying said owners or agents as
aforesaid, to open said roads through
their lands within sixty days of the SER
vice of said notice, and if the person or
persons SO notified do not open such
roads within the time named in such
notice, it shall be lawful for such over
seer, or any person under their direct
ION, to enter upon said lands and open
said roads.
Sec 3. This act shall take effect and
be IN force from and after its publica-
ton IN the official state paper.

About Final Prnnfa

The register of the Larned land Office
has made the following rulings, of in
terest, especially, to newspaper pub
fishers:
l. The officer before whom final proof
is advertised to be made, has no au-
thority to hear the evidence or take the
proof until he has the publishers afii-
davit, with the notice attached before
him. He cannot presume that the
notice has been published until the affi-
davit is before him.
2. In cases where parties have given
notice to prove up, and for any reason
fail to do SO and re-advertise, the pub
Usher can require payment for both
notices before making his affidavit of
the last publication.
3. The register reiterates the old rul-
ing and says that where a party adver-
tises TO make proof and for any reason
fails, sells or abandons his claim. he
loses his right to file on another pre-
emptiOn clam.

AT the opera house last Monday
night, at least 2OO more people were ad-
mitted than the hall could comfortably
accommodate, and the consequence
was that there was perfect babel dur
ing the entire performance. Men and
boys climbed on chairs and benches
and crushed them. There were screams,
screeches, yells and boots from the rear.
and where 800 people would have been
comfortable and enjoyed the entertain
ment, the entire audience was rendered
miserable 10y reason of the bad man
agement in admitting more people than
the hall would hold. We believe it
should be made a mlSdemeanOr to adj
NIT more persons to "a public entertain
ment than seats are provided for. In
the case of the opera house in this city,
the proprietors could easily em5ody this
restriction in their contract with the
lessees of the room. Or the city council
could pass an ordinance that would
regulate the matter. Had an alarm of
fire been given last Monday night. in
the crush that would have followed,
many persons would certainly have
been trampled te death.

Citizens and Immigration.

The following call. signed by a num-
Der OF citizens, was generally circulated
ON the streets this week.
Recognizing the Importance of this
community making an effort to secure
desirable immigration into Barber
county, we suggest the advisabilitv of
all persons SO interested meeting at
Sherlock hall. Wednesday evening.
February 10, 1886, to devise WAYS and
means Tor accomplishing this purpos -
In response to the call, meeting was
held and while those citizens present
were earnest in the cause, there was a
notable absence of the very men who.
IL would appear, should be greatly in
terested i'll having capital and immi-
grafton come into the county. The real
estate firms had two representatives;
only TWO councilmen We're present; not
hotel man was there, and but one
livery man; there was no representative
of the many additions that have been
laid off to this city, and not merchant.
SO far as noticed.
Judge Lacey was called to the chair
and explained the object of the gather
ing. j. w. McNeal spoke briefly on the
Importance of turning the tide of immf-
grafton this way. He had no well de-
fined plan in his mind, but thought the
citizens should exchange views and
adopt measures that would show up the
real advantages of the county. He sug-
gested that letters might be published
in the leading weeklies Of the east to
advantage.
w. n. Bradbury, of Etna, was pres
ent and, in response to an invitation.
gave the meeting his views. He thought
the county should be well advertised in
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Mime
sofa and Michigan, and believed that.
if possible, reliable agents should 90 to
these states. or some of them. and
preach the beauties of Barber county.
II. U. Wheelock, an old citizen of
Iowa, gave his views. He was con-
stantly in receipt of letters of inquiry.
and tried to answer all he received; but
Ne thought there should be reliable in
formation prepared, under the direction
OF some permanent organization of CT
items. and the country east and north
flooded with these circulars and maps.
lie also recognized the Importance of
sending agents to the states to confer
with the people desiring to come to
Kansas and interest them in Barber
county. He read a sample letter to
show that inquirers are being made
about Barber county.
Henry burst was heart and soul in
for anything that would bring substan-
tial and industrious citizens here. He

death of Gus. Hegwer, of that city. He,
with his stepson, II years old, on the

in temporary dugout when the severe
storm of the lst inst, caught them and
filled their place with snow. Tuesday
afternoon they started to walk to the
Streeter ranch, several miles away.
when Hegwer gave out on the road and
directed the boy to go on. The boy be-
came bewildered and lost his way and
remained on the prairie all Of that
night, when the mercury was below
zero, and only kept alive by continued
walking and pounding himself. chad
found spot where the snow had blown
off, and there he remained. Wednes-
day he reached Streeter's, and a rescu-
ing party from there made a search and
found poor Hegwer dead, and only a
half mile from his destination. he hay-
ing recovered from his first exhaustion
and walked several miles. His BODY
was buried at Old Kiowa on Sunday.
Gus. Hegwer was one of the earliest
settlers in Barber county, he having
come here in 1871. At one time he was
the principal owner OF the lots in Old
