HazeIton Happenings.

Newton Campbell, of Crane City, Pa.
spent a part of the week IN this city.
He owns half section of land south
east of Hazelton. Mrs. A. j.. Salan-
der is up from Texas on visit to her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Mccoy
The Fisher brothers have done the
handsome thing by donating to the
library 500, the band $50 and the Haz-
elton Express $780,. We understand
that the Fisher brothers will have some
three or four dwelling houses erected on
their farms this fall. Last Wednes-
day morning, about O'Clock, the store
building belonging to Shutters & Cox
was discovered on fire, and before any
thing could be done the building and
stock was consumed. The building was
insured for 500 and the stock fer s., 600.
They claim total loss of 81 600. There
seems to be no very good theory as to
the cause of the fire, as there had been
no fire in the building yet this season
80. In conversation with one of the
strongest republicans in Barber county.
one day this week, he remarked that
every man in Barber county ought to
take and read the INDEX, for the rea-
son that it was the best newspaper in
the county for giving all the county
news. w. g. A.

Clark Gilmore Dead.

Uncle Clark Gilmore, the oldest col
ored citizen of Barber county, died at
his home in Medicine Lodge, yesterday,
Sept. oath, 1889, after an extended ill
ness, old age and general debility, aged
about 70 years. Deceased was born in
Pulaski county, Kentucky, lived there
until the war broke out, when he served
in the union army as cook for awhile.
After the war he went to Michigan and
lived there until 1874 when he came to
Medicine Lodge, where he has since
lived. He accumulated good property
here, but through injudicious trades,
lost the principal part of it, though at
the time of his death he owned two
good houses in the northwest part of
town. He was never married and had
no living relations, so far as known. 1t
is understood that he wllled his proper
ty here to two young men of this city,
though this is not positively known.
Deceased was an industrious, honest,
citizen, generally respected and a mem
Der Of the Baptist church. For long
time he was the only colored resident
of the county and he appeared to have
no desire to associate with his own race.
Some of the children of his old mas
ter live near, or in, Woodstock, Ken
lucky, 1t is believed. The funeral will
occur to-day at the Presbyterian church.
Rev. Cain will conduct the services.

Secretary Rusk Here.

Secretary of Agriculture Rusk, his
private secretary. Mr.. LaDow. DR.. II
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the agricul-
tural department, his first assistant, &.
l.. Spencer, DR.. d. e. Solomon, in
charge of the department of animal in
dustry, and several other lesser lights
of the department, arrived here last
Saturday oyer the Santa Fe in the spe-
cial car of Col. A. G. Dawes, of the
Hannibal s. st. Joseph railroad, accom-
panied by that gentleman and several
eastern capitalists. The party were
out on an inspection of the sorghum SUI
gar industry in Kansas. They had been
out west to Seward and Meade coun-
ties. had stopped short time at Attica
and returned from here to Conway
Springs and Fort Scott. w. w. Cook.
disbursing agent of the department, of
this city, met the party at Meade Cen
ter and accompanied them here.
Secretary Rusk and DIR. Wiley ex-
pressed themselves most agreeably sur
prised at the outlook at Medicine Lodge.
They were met at the train by the board
of trade and accompanied to the works.
Every piece of machinery was moving
| like clock work; the cutter was hand
ling cane at the rate of 20 tons per hour
and the diffusion battery, evaporators,
strike pan and centrlfugals were all
dong excellent work.
The party examined the water sup
ply, the cane, the sugar and the syrup
not such another location in the west
for sorghum sugar plant. "There is
more water than we have seen on the
entire trip" said Secretary Rusk when
he was passing by the lake.
DR.. Wiley was here last spring when
| the foundation for the main building
was being laid and he expressed himself
as being grained at their successful
completion on such substantial scale
They also visited one of the fields in
which were growing sugar beets and
took with them many fine specimens.
Altogether, the visit of the head OF
the agricultural department and his as
sistants to Medicine Lodge, was salts,
factory, and in time the fruits of the
visit Will be noticed. Out west the
country was dried up, the cane was
very poor and the water supply made
quate. Here they saw heavy CROWNS
crops, fields of ripe cane, great stalks o.
wheat, oats, hay and millet and the bes
growing sorghum cane in the world
They found here the best water suppl,
in Kansas-practically an unlimitateC
supply-and these things certainly mad'
favorable impression on the distin
guished visitors.
There appears to- be no question abou
the success of the work being prosecu
ted by Eldred & Human and the end o
the sugar season will probably shoy
better results obtained than at any su
gar plant in Kansas.

narrow escape from death on last
Friday. He was engaged in build.
ing shelter over his we'll, when
tAe piece of timber which supported
him broke, aud be fell to the bot
tom, distance of about 45 feet
Fortunately he was not seriously
injured, aud he escaped With only
few bruises. He held on to his
hammer, and when parties ran to
his rescue, he was found standing
almost mp to his arm pits in water,
and far less alarmed than those on
terra tfrnsa.
It is said that "truth is found at
the bottom of a well.' Our old
friend at least illustrated one truth,
and that is, that man who is near.

good fortune and his GOODNESS.
