Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-10-18

When the young fellow who is prac-
ticing oratory upon long suffering
peblic, ostensably in the interestes of
the republican county candidates, told
his listeners out near Dundee the
other night that Mr.. Looney was but
a ''loafer," he did not probably know
how near he and his associates came to
being treated to little experimental
mob violence by the staunch friends
and neighbors of Mr.. Looney who
were present, and with whom Mr.
Looney has toiled early and late in the
harvest field, the corn field and the
hay field. Such statement as he
made may not have much force in
most places, but right where Mr..
Looney is known best it came near
calling out considerable "force."
Mr.. Grant, the republican candid
ate for county superintendent, writes
that he does not care much whether he
is elected or not. He did not get home
as stated in the Register last week, and
says when he does come he will not
cavass the county. Mr.. Grant probab-
ly can see a little farther than bis
political friends do, and does not care
to spend any time unnecessarily. II
some of the other candidates on the
republican ticket would show the
same good horse sense they would
feel little better after the election.

Don't be q Fool.

As tree begins to die at the extremi.
ties, 80 does man contract disease and
death By the exposure of his hands and
feet. A simpleton will pay forty dollars
for a coat to cover his back, and will
begrudge himselfan extra pair of shoes
to put on his feet in vet weather The
man who has but one pair ofshoes, while
boasting the possession of two coats,
hasn't learned the A. B, G, in the bust.
ness of preserving bis health and his
life. put on wet pair of shoes is
like putting poultice to the feet, and
he who does 80 foolish thing gives
standing invitation to disease and death
and the invitation, sooner or later, will
be sure to be accepted. 1t has been said
that cold feet have put more men in
their graves than all the wars that were
ever fought, and yet otherwise sensible
men and women 60 about from day to
day with wet and cold feet. They put
on their shoes in the morning with
shudder. Cold feet bring on the worst
forms of disease, and be who does not
keep several pairs of shoes is not wise.
After the first outlay, the cost is no more
to keep half dozen pairs, than is incurred
by keeping of a single pair, and he who
is able to wear one pair, should always
have dry pair in reserve.

Lived and Died In Suualor.

Sioux FALLS, DAKOTA, Oct 2S.-Mary
Ann Irvine, one of the most noted char
acters of this section, died Friday night
of heart trouble. During her residence
of thirty years in this vicinity she has
lived in the utmost filth and squalor.
She was vindictive to an extraordinary
degree, and has figured prominently at
nearly every term Of Court as defendant
in various charges, such as applying the
torch to the property of neighbors who
had aroused her passions, treatening their
lives, &c. A loaded revolver was her
constant companion. No one ever dafk-
ened her door and it was only very
short time before she. died that even her
own children dared to enter her house.
When it was discovered that she was
dying and she was asked if a physician
should not be sent for, she objected to
iucurripg go great an expense, and not
until she had struck bargain with the
doctor for his fee would she allow any
medicines to be administered. Her
sleeping room was found so full of all
manner of filthy garbage and worthless
rubbish that much of it had to be dumped
out of doors before the attendants could
6ud room to get in or endure the stencil.
After her death 8 search among her
effects revealed deeds, mortgages, notes,
bonds and cash to the amount, in the
aggregate, of $4,000. The woman was
So years old and had three children, to
whom the property will revert.

Elastic Traces.

Attention has been called from time to
time to the adviHability of lessening as
much as possible the shock and strain
which horses usually sustain in setting
heavy loads in motion. There have been
number of methods suggested for
obviating this, but there has been no
general introduction of any of the eys-
TENS proposed. The wear and tear on
horses on Our street car lines and heavy
transport trucks is very great, and in all
large stables of this class there are to be
found number of horses on the retired
list, who are suffering from sore necks
and strains occasioned by the sudden
shocks and jerks of starting heavy load.
One of the simplest of contrivances we
saw at the recent New Jersey State fair,
used in plowing. It consisted of spring
at the point where the traces join the
whifaetree. At the Eastern Railway
station, at Paris, the horses used for
shifting the cara from point to point have
been provided with chain traces termi.
mating in spiral springs. Since this sys.
tenn was introduced, about six years ago,
there has been marked improvement in
the condition of the horses, and there has
been much saving in the breaking of
chains and harness. The horses have
learned that steady, even strain serves
better than the quondam jerk at starting,
and there has been found to be fewer
sore necks, and the animals experience
less fatigue, ahd are generally in sounder
condition. The experiment has proved
30 far successful that this method has
been extended through all the other de.
partments of the extensive railway sys.
tenn under the coutrol of this company.

Keep Up Your End.

"When I was boy in the numbering
region in Maine," said the old doctor,
"the fellow who would not hold up his
end of the log, but let the weight sag on
the others, was looked upon with
contempt by all the camp. Wherever I
go now, think gee logs carried; one
end held up by hearty, willing hands, and
the other dropping out of lazy, selfish
ones.
"When / see an old father toiliDg to
give his son the education that is to help
him through life, and the boy yawning
over his books, trickiDg his teachers,
smoking cigarettes and swearing, l feel
like calling cut, For the sake of your own
soul, boy, grip the end of the log, and
hold it up!'
Sometimes I see man working hard
all day, and too tired to rest at night,
while his wife aud daughters read novels,
embroider, and gossip with women as
useless in the world as themselves. Do
they keep up their end of the log?
"Or, quite as often, it is the wife who
stints and saves, until her life is barren
and bare as o dusty road at MONDAY,
while the husband spends his time at
saloons and pool rooms.
"Or see one bright, courageous MEM
ber of "a family, usually woman, work.
ing, joking, hopeful, while the others
crawl along, groaning, complaining, drop.
ping every day and hour their burden of
poverty, disease, toothache, or bad wealth.
er on her shoulders. She has all the log
to carry.
"Again, tits human being for whom
God has done much in birth, rank,
education, friends, who for the love of q
glass of liquor or a pack of cards, allows
his life to drop into the slough. St.
Paul bids him work out his own saliva
tion, and feel like telling him to hold
up his own end of the log"
What does our reader think of the doc.
tors homely lesson? What is bis burden
in life Somebody shares it with him;
no man bears his load alone. Does he
carry his part with hearty good will :?
Or does he drop it on weak and willing
shoulders =?

Mr.. Henry Cecil gives the following on

and having large bunch of Keys in bis
hand, he gaveit to large dog to hold for
him till he was at liberty. Going into
the house soon after, he forgot to reclaim
the keys. The remembrance of what he
had done with them only returned to him
when he required to, use. them in the
evening. He then recalled that he had
given them to the dog, and forgotten
to take them again. Calling him, and
looking him impressively in his face, he
said MY keys fetch me my keysI The
dog looked puzzled and wistful for a mo.
ment, and then bounded off to the garden,
his master following. He went straight
to the root of an apple tree, scratched up
the keys, and brought them. May We not

for rats, and when the latter was fairly
intent on his game, Uglymug sneaked
back to enjoy, all by himself, what he
could get from the table.

=
e,late Captain James M. Armstrong,
of Texas, as honest and patriotic man as
ever lived in any age or country, emigra.
ted from Kentucky to Texas Immediately
after the Republic had been organized.
Soon after his arrival at Nacogdoches, he
found out that the refugees from 'the
States" who were then quite numerous,
were in the habit of holding, from time
to time, what they called "The Awful
Court. !" Every new conner was arrested,
and brought before the scourt," which.
sat with an imposing array of officers and
spectators in secluded room, was ar.
raigned and asked "What made you
come to Texas ?" If in his reply he did
not admit that he came as refugee, the
Judge would order him to be whipped
until he confessed, and when be had con-
fessed he was sentenced to treat the
crowd. No newcomer was permitted to
claim that he was innocent, or came Of
his own free will. Ifthe person arrested
however answered promptly, stating some
crime that he had committed before
leaving the States, he was discharged
without costs.
s'The Awful Court" was generally pre-
sided over by gentleman who was known
to have robbed a gold.mining company,
which was the immediate cause of his
leaving Georgia. One day in conversa-
ton he observed to young Armstrong,
"Young man, We will shortly have you
up befare our Awful Court"
Armstrong, with an air of surprise and
dif6dence, said he hoped not, and passed
on.
On the night of that very day be was
arrested, and led through devious ways
to where The Awful Court was sitting.
Although late, the dimly lighted court.
room was thronged. In few moments
the presiding judge ordered him to stand
up, and asked him the following question:
"Young man, what made you come to
Texas z"
Armstrong replied, hesitatingly, with
an air of embarrassment, "It was such a
mean little thing that don't want 70 tell
about it."
The question was calmly put second
time, and received the same answer.
Thereupon the judge sternly remarked,
II now ask you for the third and last
time, what made you come to Texas 2"
Armstrong responded, with apparent
confusion: IF / must tell, must. stole

Stole sheep |" exclaimed the presld-
ing judge, in real astonishment. "Stole

Young man what made you steal 5
sheep ?"
Armstrong dryly replied, Because they
who came to Texas ahead of me left
nothing else in the criminal line to do"
"The prisoners discharged, and the
court adjourned" said the judge. "MeD,
