Another Railroad Coming.

The Hutchinson, Oklahoma and Gulf
Railway company filed It's charter last
week. The charter sets forth that the
company proposes to construct and ope-
rate a steam railroad of standard gauge.
with line of telegraph Herewith. The
SAID line shall be run from the city of
Beioit. Kas., to the Gulf of Mexico,
through the counties or Cloud, Mitchell,
Ottawa, Lincoln. Ellsworth, Saline.
Rice, Mcpherson, Reno, Kingman, Har-
per and Barber, in the State of Kansas.
in southerly direction through Oklaho-
ma. the Indian Territory and Texas to
some point on the Gulf of Mexico not
determined upon nor specified.
The estimated length of the road is
500 miles. The capital stock of the
company is placed at $4,000, 600, and the
board of directors contains some we'll
known railroad men, some of whom be-
ing connected with the Union Pacific
company gives rise to the belief that the
road may be a Union Pacific enterprise
The gentlemen composing the board
of directors are well known capitalists
from Boston, New York, Chicago, and
several places in Kansas.
If the road is built as contemplated
it will likely come into Barber county
i'll the northeastern corner and run
diagonally southwest in the direction
of Aetna, taking in Medicine Lodge.

Re-Churning Rnttermilk.

There are couple of men III this city
who love to joke, and each would like
to see a job put up on the other We
will call them Uncle Dick and Uncle
Ben, to distinguish them, but of course
their real names are something else.
These two were travelling together in
Pratt county, last summer, and Uncle
Ben had new patent churn which he
was trying to sell. They came to the
house of an Irishman just at night, and
Uncle Dick happened to know the fam
lily. They were preparing to 60 into
camp when the lady of the house came
down otter bucket of water. Uncle
Dick asked permission to camp there.
which was readily granted. He then
informed the lady that the gentleman
with him had a new patent churn, and
would be pleased to do churning for
her if she had any cream ready, at the
same time giving her wink and shak-
ing his head. She replied that she had
no cream in readiness. but would have
in the morning. As soon as night came
on Uncle Dick slipped up to the house
and asked the lady to do her churning.
and save the buttermilk for Uncle Ben
to work on. She did so, and next NOR,
ming Uncle Ben went at that churnine
with a viii. He churned two hours
and the Precipitation was running from
every pore. Then Uncle Dick suggest
ed that it was getting late and they
ought to be going. Uncle Ben said he
was going to have that butter if it took
all summer. Another hour of hard
work brought no butter; and at las
they dumped the churn in the wagon
and went on their way, Uncle Dick was
half dead with laughter, but was af---'-

Don't Sell the Boys Tobacco.

The probability is that if any mer-
chant or dealer sells tobacco or cigar
cites to boys under sixteen years of age,
that there will be trouble. The legisla-
ture passed bill that went into effect
on the 5th inst. which prohibits the sale
of narcotics to minors under sixteen
years old. Its provisions are as fol
lows:
Section l. That it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons in this state to sell, give OF
furnish any cigar, cigarette, or tobacco in any
form. opium or any other narcotic in any form
to any minor under sixteen 49, years of age.
Sec.2. The violation of any provision of this
act shall constitute a misdemeanor, and any
person found guilty thereof shall be fined in
any sum not less than five dollars $500 nor
exceeding twenty-five dollars (S25.00) for each
and every such ofTense
Sec 3. The provisions of this act shall not
apply to the sale of any narcotic made upon
the prescription of regular practiclng physi-
clan.
See. 4, All acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with the provisions of this act, are hereby re-
pealed.
See. .. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its publication in the of
fetal state paper.

The Sugar Works.

There is practically nothing new to
report about the proposed sorghum SUI
gar works. The council instructed its
attorneys, S. l.. Overstreet and T. y.
McNeal, to draw up contract in ac-
cOrdance with the general terms of Col.
Eldred's last proposition, and this doc
ument is completed, and in the hands
of Col. Eldred's attorneys, Sample &
Long. There appears to be delay in
hearing from the engineer the city en-
ployed to prepare plans and speciiica-
lions for the WaterwOrkS-a Mr.. Allen,
of Kansas City. Until his report is
ready, the details for the works cannot
be arranged.
Messrs. w. w. Cook and G. l. Hin
man, representing Col. Eldred, have
gone to Topeka and Fort Scott to look
over the sugar works at those places,
with the idea of learning what machin-
cry is absolutely necessary here. Ii
their investigations are successful, and
the city agrees to Col. Eldred's propo-
sition, contract Will be entered into
at once for the machinery. The bonds
will be sold on the Goth inst, as will be
seen by the advertisement in this issue
OF the INDEX.
The city council is taking the neces-
sary steps to have the right-of- way for
the tail-race and proposed dam con-
demned, D. J. Aber having made the
necessary survey last week.
Nearly all the talk about enjoining
the issue of the $500 in bonds has
ceased, and there are but few persons
in the city who are not now in favor of
sugar works and misunderstanding
in fact, to get more life into this city
and surrounding community.
OF course ':large bodies must move
slowly" and the proposed sugar plant,
with its attachments. is large body.
There are great many details to ar
range. The council, as guardians of the
interests of the people, have to be care
full !; Col. Eldred and his associates must
observe business methods in their pro-
gress. If they should make a failure,
their own fortunes would be lost, and
they would forever bear the censure of
the public for squandering S35, 900 of the
public money.
AT this time we will not say that we
are certain the works will he built this
year, but we will say that the prospects
are brighter than they were at this time
last week.

The WaterwOrks Bonds.

The taxable valuation of Medicine
Lodge is about $780, 900, and the city
has debt of but SIS 600, so the bid
ders tor the waterworks bonds may be
assured that their investment VIII be a
safe one. This city is substantially
built up with brick business houses and
substantial dwellings; it is the county
seat and always will be; it has no com
peting city or town nearer than % miles;
it commands trade from a radius of
twenty-five miles, on an average; its
business men are i'll good financial
shape; the banks are solid with extra
ordinary backing; it has never had a
mushroom growth and has never out
grown the surrounding country. The
valuation of the county is So, 500, 600,
The bonds were voted without opposi
ton, practically, but nine negative votes
being cast. The waterworks bonds are
good Investment. These are straight
20-year, 6-per cent. bonds.
