A YOUNG DEVIL.

a very wonderful thing occurred at
Cleveland about three weeks ago and
the people here have not quit talking
about it. AT the time mentioned
mother gave birth to what was supposed
would prove to be a baby. When it
was born it was a round piece of flesh,
without eyes, feet OF head. In a few
minutes, however, the ball burst and
out popped a little devil-as complete
a devil as the old man himself. The
mother, father and attending physician
we're scared nearly to death. No
sooner had the little fellow made his
appearance than he began to talk, and
talked just like the devil is supposed to
talk. During the excitement the little
devil stole away, and after three
hours search he was found in the Gel
lar in a coal bin, with hatchet in his
hand. When he saw his father and
the doctor approaching he cried out in
loud voice: Il have heard of your
damnable plot, and if you come near
me l will kill you.'' Excursion trains
are now being run to Cleveland every
day, and thousands of people visit the
little fellow.
Some months ago the mother and an
other woman was down town shopping.
They passed a store where there were
many pictures of a religious nature
hanging in the window. The lady sug-
gested to the mother that they pur-
chase couple of them. The mother
replied that she wouldn't have one of
them in the house-that she would
rather have the devil. No more was
thought of the matter until the little
devil put in his appearance as above
related. The little fellow has horns, a
tail and resembles the devil in every
particular as he is made to appear in
pictures.
This story is true and not colored in
the least. Many of the prominent peO-
pie of this city have visited Cleveland
for no other purpose than to see the
''kid,'' and we have this statement
from their own lips. Cleveland and
Cincinnati papers publish column after
column concerning its birth and the
reason for it. After reading this the
reader will come to the conclusion that
religion is not bad thing.-St. Joe
NetcS.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-07-19

draft BY men who were too cowardly
to face the glittering bayonet and
leaden ball.
That is the class of men, gentlemen,
that won't vote for Cleveland. 1t re-
quires brave man to defend his coun-
try-the brave men vote for Cleveland.
This common enemy of ours, the re-
publican party, has had much to say
about ''solid south,'' but when the
returns of the election are heard from
next fall, and find solid democratic
north, that party will fall into fit of
appopleXy and will never be heard
from again; for we are sure to carry
for Cleveland and reform: California,
Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and
Ohio, and will shake the bullwOrks of

majority cut down in two years about
100, 900 by the old Roman, and that too,
right at the close of the rebellion, and

the heat of passion was never greater,
Thurman can carry Ohio by 10000, and
the enemy will be ours and the country
saved. Il. T. CRAIG.

GONE TO KANSAS.

They are coming from the deserts of
the dim and dusty east, where to raise
stunted turnip gives the prospect of a
feast, where the farms are made of
gravel and they plow with dynamite,
where the festive chattle mortgage
sings its dirges day and night; they
are coming in their wagons, they are
coming OH the train, they are coming
from the regions where they struggle
long in vain; they are coming from the
cabin they are coming out to Kansas
where there's plenty for them all. They
are coming from the southland, they
are coming from the north; from the
valleys and the mountains they in
droves are coming forth; they are COM
| ing with their husbands, they are COM
ing with their wives, they are coming
with their hammers, with their needles
and their knives; with their harrows
and their planters, and their pencils
and their guns, they are coming with
their fathers, with their mothers and
their sons. They are coming stout and
slender, they are coming short and tall,
they are coming out to Kansas where
there's plenty for them all. Where you
needn't dig potatoes with sabre or a
dirk, where, when rain is badly
needed, then the rain gets in its work,
where the rivers moan and murmur on
their journey to the sea, where the
breeZes tackle corn-stalks, big as fence
posts on the lea; where the savage late
ly wandered in his search for human
hair, while his hoarse and hollow war
cry hoated on the summer air; where a
hundred braves would answer to the
chieftain's battle call, they are coming
out to Kansas, where there's plenty for
them all. Where the savage used to
wander yearning for crop of hair,
now the farmer takes his porker to the
nearest country fair, and the corn is
gaily growing where his greasy wigwam
stood; where he burned the wailing
captives now the poultry scratch for
food; and the people who are coming
to this pleasantest of climes. show a
happy knack of keeping with the pro-
gress of the times; they will find a coun-
try beaming from the spring-time to
the fall. when they land up out in Kan
sas, where there's plenty for them all.

The republican party of Barton coun-
ty is no more united than it has been
for the last ten years. The same un-
der current Of personal spite and indi-
vidual ambition that has wrecked the
aspirations of first one and then the
other of the two factions can still be
found. The waters of republicanism
are troubled; they are troubled because
the strong and restless current of
democracy which is carrying us on to
victory on every hand cannot be turn

and petty jealousies.
Mark this: Judge Chapman is on
top, and will stay on top; he has fought

STILL THERE Is ROOM.

Many believe that the stream of i'm
migration that has been pouring into
Kansas with such steady flow of
volume for the past three years, has
not only filed up the state but well nigh
exhausted the supply and that there
can not be very large accessions to her
broad domains for several years. But
this is a mistaken idea. The state has
only commenced to fill up. An addi-
ton of one hundred thousand people
can hardly be perceived and eastern
people must not suppose the past has
taken up all the good chances. No
more than eight per cent. of the tilla-
BILE lands of the state is yet under culti-
vation, and the great balance of ninety
per cent. is as good as the average un-
der cultivation. The present is just as
favorable time as there ever has been
in the past. Lands, as a rule, except
in close proximity to growing towns,
can be bought now as cheap as ever,
while stock, implements, lumber and
all material for improvement of farms
are cheaper. We believe a man can
make a better farm and quicker with a
thousand dollars now than he could
five years ago with two thousand dol
lars. What has been done can be
done. Can the reader doubt that Kan
sas is great state and is waiting for a
brilliant future? Can any one doubt
that Kansas with her corn, wheat,
fruit and blooded stock is prosperous?
That her farmers have sprung from
and privations which they were obliged
to undergo to make home are entire
ly obliterated by railroads, churches
and near markets for every article of
produce Sun.
