Last Friday q man named James Seits
came to him and wanted to borrow his gray
mare TO drive to town. Seits's reputation
was not of q high order, but Mr.. Polk
thought II would be safe to loan him the
animal and q set Of harness, since another
neighbor had loaned him buggy. Seits
set out with the team, and has not been
seen since.
The team was tracked 20 this city, and
the top of the buggy was found to have
been left at Erter's livery stable. The bug
gy itself, which was almost valueless from
age and wear, and the harness were found
with John Malarkey. west Of town. 1t was
learned that Seits had sold the horse to
Frank Donahue, notorious itinerant horse
trader, for s65, about half its value. The
trade was made near John Ryan's place,
west Of town. aud Donshue. who knew the
horse was stolen, left with 1t in his posses
sion. The horse has been tracked toward
Columbus.
Officer Marshal did good work in the
case. He and Mr.. Polk drove clear to Day.

turing company's works, was seriously
burnt with steam. He was brought home
in his badly injured condition, and the
shock had terrible effect upon Mrs.
Whitcomb, who was in q delicate con-
dition and approaching maternity. The
nervous shock brought on prostrating ILL.,
ness which resulted in her death. Mr..
Whitcomb's condition was such that he was
unable to see her at any time during her ILL
ness or at her death.
The funeral occurred this afternoon from
the residence ON Clifton street. and was
very largely attended. Rev. w. II. War
ren preached the funeral services. Mrs.

A FALSE ARRANGEMENT.

The republicans are attempting to
arraign the democratic administration
for not using the surplus now in the U.
s. vaults to take up bonds not due, and
pay for them a premium. This was
the burden of one speakers remarks at
the convention last Saturday, and it
only shows the more conclusively that
the republican party is the tool of bond
holders and corporations. This speak
er himself is the attorney for the Santa
Fe railroad, a good attorney, too, be-
cause the railroads have plenty of mon
ey and for attorneys employ the best
that goes. if they can get it. This at
torney is working for the same inter-
ests that are represented by the men
who are daily sending circulars and
papers all over the country trying to
induce people to urge upon their rep
resentatives in congress to have called
in and paid off bonds of the United
States not yet due, and paying prem
ium for the permission to take them up.
If the money thus paid out went to
the mass of the people there might be
some excuse for taking the money
away from them by high tariff taxes
and paying a premium for the privilege
of returning the money into circulation.
But the bond holder alone gets this
money; if by chance any of it gets to
the masses it is paid for at two per
cent. a month, or secured with a
mortgage on the farm.

Opening of Central Normal College,

The Central Normal college, under
the principalship of Prof. VIM. Stryker,
opened Tuesday morning with flatter-
ing prospects. For three days previous
students had been coming in from diff
ferent parts of the state, Barton, Re-
public, Wilson and Reno counties being
largest represented. Ten counties of
Kansas together with Missouri, Illinois
and California claim the students as
their residents.
The building OH the outside was
adorned with flags, and everything be-
tOkened cheerful opening. At $50
and piano duet by Chas. Hobart and
Miss Ada Laughlin, after which the
faculty accompanied by the Rev's. Wat
son and Bosworth and Prof. Reece, took
their seats. A large audience was in
attendance, comprising the students.
about 80 in number, and many of our
most influential citizens. After the
devotional exercises, the program was
formed.
There are nine teachers, and classes
in arithmetic, grammar, geography,
history penmanship, drawing, reading,
vocal music, rhetoric algebra, geometry,
Latin, German, geology, mental philosO-
ply, botany. Special advantages for
elocution, also piano and violin.
The day passed off successfully, and
there was completed the formal open
ing of an institution of which Great
Bend may well be proud, one whose
teachers are well prepared and energet-
ic; and which offers advantages in num-
Der and quality equal to larger schools
in the east. Much credit is due Prof.
Stryker for his untiring energies during
the summer. He spent his vacation in
building up the college, and says the
day will come when Great Bend will be
the seat of the largest school in Kansas

CHEAP POLITICAL THUNDER.

In the resolutions offered at the re-
publican county convention last Satur-
day are found the following:
''Resolred, THAT we disapprove the
action of the board of county commits
sioners of Barton county lin selling the
funding bonds of the county at less
than par. That paying Mr.. Speer
$500 to sell such bonds was an un-
wise and unjudiciouS expenditure of
the cOunty's funds; said bonds could
easily have been sold for premium
as evidenced by the sale of city bonds
about the same time. That in said
transaction the county lost from
81 900 to 81 500; that majority of the
said board are democrats and are re-
SpOnSible for the issuance of said
bonds"
''Resolred. we disapprove OF
the extraordinary expenditures of the
board of county commissioners for the
year ending July l, 1888. aggregatinp
about sS6 900 per year,
The passing of such resolutions is a
very cheap and exceedingly thin bid
for votes. The bonds were issued to
bear 6 per cent. interest and to take up
outstanding scrip that bore per cent
per annum in interest If, as the res
Olution charges, there is any blame at.
tached to the commissioners for the
manner of negotiating the bonds, il
should follow the republican member
of the board who had most of the cor.
respondence with MIR. Speer, and who
offered the resolution to negotiate the
bonds through Mr.. Speer, at the price
for which they were sold, which ,cos
par.
AS to the S36, 900 of expenditures fol
the year ending July L, 1888, it strikes
us that the half of that year-from
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-09-06

July 1, 1887 to January 1, 18SS-was
during the time that Mr.. Willms and
Mr.. Carney composed the republican
majority of the board, and the greater
part issued since January 1, '8S, was for
expenses incurred during, or as result
of the administration of said gentle
men. The trainers of those resolutions
were probably not aware that they, the
resolutions, were liable to hurt the
trainers worse than the game at which
they were fired.
