Col. Stevenson of Fairview, Conn has
a very intelligent dog named Point. The
dog has often been held up TO the tele-
phone and become accustomed to listen
to it The other evening when the tele-
phone rang, Point dashed up and barked
as usual. The call was from Hartford
announcing the result of the great rail-
road battle in the legislature, and the
defeat of the cause with which the ami
NAL s master was so prominently lden-
tilted. The conversation was carried on
for some minutes. Point seemed wrapped
in attention till word came that the vote
stood 135 to 1O3 against the petition,
at which iuncture Point put his tail be-
tween his legs, uttered howl and, ran
out into the back garden. An eJacu-
lation of disnay and disappointment had
preceded this action of the animal and
probably gave him his cue. He lay down
under a cedar tree and no persuasion
would induce him to re-enter the house.
.TIe refused to eat or drink, lay out all
night, and would not be consoled until
his owner came home the next day and
told him it was all right.

Nearly twenty years ago Abraham
Smith of Hagerstown, Md, separated
from his wife and disappeared. His
daughter grew 70 womanhood, and the
mother finally believed her husband
dead. His father died several years
ago, and the estate he left to his missing
son was claimed by the wife. Under the
seveu-year-absence law the death OF:
Abraham Smith was proved in the WASH
ington county court, and letters of ad-
ministration issued to his daughter. Only
a few DAYS ago mother and daughter
were startled at the temperance of the
husband and father in Hagerstown. BE
did not seek a reconciliation, but, after
securing the services of a lawyer and
filing claim to his fathers estate
again disappeared.

On July II, 1889, Lafayette conceived
the idea of placing the white emblem OF
royalty between the red and the blue OF
Paris. He thus composed cockade
which was recognized by all classes as
symbol of reconciliation and hope. A
few weeks later, when Bailly received
Louis XVI. in the great hall of the Hotel
de Willie he offered him the new emblem
and the king graciously placed it IN his
hat. The National Guards of Paris,
each body of which had different stan

the colors of this national ensign, were
established by law. 1t is expressly for

DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED.
A Quarrel Between Young Choctaws Results
in the Shooting of Robert Norris.

A Quarrel Between 1oHns Cnoctd"s hesnIS
in the Shooting of Robert Morris.
Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, July 4.-Robert
Morris, the only son of Col. Adam Nor
ris, one of the oldest and most prominent
citizens of the Choctaw Nation, was
brought here early this morning danger
ously wounded, and is now at the Lee
Grande hotel in a critical condition.
Young Morris lives near Cavinal, about
forty miles south Of here in the ChOctaw
Nation. Yesterday morning he was at
the village on some business, and there
met Samson McCurtain and John Allen4
both young ChoctaWs. They engaged in
q Quarrel with him, after which Morris
got on his horse and started home. Nc
Curtain and Allen, mounted on one
horse, followed and overlook him about
half a mile from Cavinal. McCurtain,
who was riding in front, stopped Morris
and began talking to him, when Allen
reached around McCurtain and shot him,
the bullet entering the left side Of
the neck lust in front of the jugular and
coming out on the right side just behind
the iugular. Ex-Governor Edmund Nc
Curtain was near the scene, saw the
Young men following Morris and heard
the shooting. He Immediately repaired
to the scene and found Morris wounded
as above. He was taken to his home and
kept there until the north bound Frisco
train came along during the latter part
of the night, which conveyed him to this
CITY. His wife, children and father are
with him. His physician looks upon it as
a miracle that he was not killed out
right, as the bullet was from forty five
caIiber sixshooter and went square
through his neck. They entertain hopes
of his recovery, however. McCurtain
and Allen had not been arrested at last

FORT WORTH, TEX, July 8, 1857
To the Gazette.
notice in late copy of THE GAZETTE
that we are to have harvest excursions
to Texas from the old states in August
and September. 1 am somewhat sur
prised that some one of our prominent
citizens of Texas with a railroad pass in
his pocket has not rendered vote of
thanks to our railroad officials for their
''liberal action in this matter. 1t Ger
tainly is a great oversight on the part of
the Imam with pass in his pocket,
and no time should be lost by HIM in
coming to the front. Delays are dan
gerous, as passes are only given ''unless
otherwise ordered. - Speaking of excur-
sion rates to Texas, the opinion of the
writer is that it would be just as
consistent to give harvest excursions
to the Northwest states in January as it
is to give them in August to Texas.
What is good for Minnesota, Dakota,
etc, will do for Texas. The proper
time to have excursion rates to Texas is
from April to July and from January
to May l No one knows this better
than our railroad managers, and when
they mean business we will see excursion
rates during the months named above,
and we will also have the rates daily in
stead of having them twice each month.
In the Northwest states the months OF
August and September will do very well;
but as we all know May and June are
the small grain harvest in Texas
and from April to July is the time to
show Texas to visitors. If the railroads
select the best months for the Northwest
states why not do the same for TeXasE
In August and September our grain
harvest is over, our rains have ceased
and the country looks anything but
inviting to those who do not know
| Texas. Give us low round-trip rates at
the proper season and sell tickets every
day, as was done for years to all North
west and Western states until they set
tied at least half or two-tkirds of their
| territory and built large commercial
cities. With Texas it is different. We
| haven t city in the state, as compared
| to many cities in the Northwest and
| Western states, and no portion OF
| our state is half settled hence say what
| is good for the Northwest territory will
not do for Texas. We should be given
the same liberal policy by the railroads
| OF Texas that was for years, and is to-
day, given by the railroads of the North
west territory to the people of that sec
ton. This we would have if we had
railroad compilation instead of railroad
combination Herein lies the secret OF
the success of the Northwest and the
slow progress of Texas.
Speaking of the railroads Of Texas the
Fort Worth and Denver and the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande have done more
for Texas the past year than all the other
railroads of Texas combined in the way
of advertising the state and bring people
and money to it, and neither Of tBas
lines received an acre of land fy8fh the
state. ONE3ANEfo KNOWS.

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-10-24

WHAT world of benefit Barton
county has got out of the Office of state
senator for this district of late! Last
fall Barton county man was elected;
he went to Topeka-and that was the
last heard of him until it was heralded
abroad that he had secured fat gov
eminent appointment, and had re-
signed his senatorship. This week Bar
ton county men went to senatorial
convention with a certain knowledge
that if they pulled together they could
nominate Barton county man, and
one who could accomplish something
for his county-and see the result. Be-
cause there were too many bosses, COM
binations, and put up jobs, this county
holds the bag while Rice walks off
with the game. Truly the republican
party is wonderful help ~ to Barton

DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.

Protection does not protect, nor does
prohibition prohibit, but conservatism
does conserve; therefore, be It resolved,
by the democrats of Barton county,
Kansas, in convention assembled:
1st-That we congratulate the coun-
try upon the progress of tariff reform
and the growing sentiment of the peO-
pie against fanaticism and sumptuary
legislation.
2nd-That we favor the resubmission
of the prohibitOry amendment to a
vote Of the people as soon as practicable.
3d-That we endorse the democratic
national and state platforms of 1888,
and re-affirm the principles of the same
in support of civil and religious liberty
and the equality of all men before the
law, giving to the producer and to
labor the same rights under the laws
that is given to capital.
4th-That we condemn in unmeas-
ured terms the arbitrary and malicious
action of G.. w. Nimocks in defeating
the nomination of Hon. A. r. Clark for
judge, and thereby robbing the people
of the services of the ablest and most
impartial judge they ever had.
5th-That we congratulate the peo-
PIE of Barton county for their wisdom
and independent action in electing our
present Register of Deeds, Treasurer,
County Clerk, Sheriff and Surveyor
who have so ably and efficiently served
the best interests of the people.

Teachers Meeting.

The teachers of the Great Bend
schools met at Prof. Recess Office, Fri
day, Oct. 18th, for their second monthly
meeting.
Miss Long came over with number
of her little folks from the east side
school and gave practical illustration
of her method of teaching numbers.
The exercise consisted of the pure num-
Der ''six," illustrating with objects;
measuring, comparing, combining, etc.
The teacher giving special attention to
the language of her pupils while doing
this work.
Music was the subject of very in
teresting paper read by Miss Bridges.
She would insist that each pupil beat
his own time and to sing notes alone
and not always depend on their teacher
for pitch, time, tones, etc.
Miss Read then gave a valuable talk
on teaching advanced reading. She,
with the teachers, advocated sup
Elementary reading often Special at
tention to be given to the thoughts and
meaning of the author, and to pitch,
tone, and stress, while reading.
This was followed by Miss Smith s
talk on literature, which was full of
live and practical suggestions.
After reading the program for the
next meeting, Prof. Reece adjourned
until Nov. LIST.

The Sterling Convention.

AS was predicted last week, the split
in the republican ranks, over the Sc
lection of delegates to their senatorial
convention, has lost Barton county the
honor of, and what benefits would fol-
low the possession of, state senator to
fill the vacancy made by the resignation
of Chapman. The convention met at
Sterling on the 21st with both Heller
and Caraway delegations on hand. In
the forenoon a preliminary organization
was had and committee of five on Gre
dentials was appointed. In the after
noon that committee met and consid-
cred the credentials of the coDtesting
delegates from Barton. The proceed
ings of that committee meeting would
make startling reading for the
general public had we space or inclina-
ton to give them in full and expose
the charges and denials, the affidavits
and speeches presented and considered
by the committee. About $50 on that
evening the committee on credentials
were ready to report. The convention
being called to order, the committee
submitted two reports majority re-
port being in favor of admitting the
Helzer delegates, and the minority re-
port dividing the delegations. giving
Caraway seven delegates and Heller
seven. When it came to deciding which
of the reports to accept another mon
key-and-parrot of a time" was had.
There were yells, and groans, and
misses. and cuss words. The minority
report was finally adopted by vote of %
to 6, the Rice and Stafford county del
egations only voting. An adjourn
ment was then had, till after supper.
That evening four ballots were taken,
resulting in Heller: IL, Caraway IL,
and Smith 49,; Stafford county dividing
her delegation half and half between
Heller and Caraway. That was
practically the standing until the lS1st
ballot, when S. j. Smith. of Rice county,
received 80, Heller s, and Caraway5.
Thus has Barton county, through
political chincanery, again got left.
Many men will agree with US that the
proceedings before the committee on
credentials were outrageous and dis
graceful in the extreme, and how some

Judge j. n. Bailey, of Lyons, the in.

Goth judicial district. Judge Bailey
comes before you as an independent
candidate, believing that in the mat.
ter of selecting a judge politics should
not be considered. He has firmly re-
fused to run as the nominee of any
political party, but comes out indie
pendent of any party affiliations. He
is an attorney of undoubted ability,
having the reputation both at home
and abroad Of being firm, fair and un-
compromising in all matters. He
entered the race for the judgeship up
on the earnest solicitation of friends
from each of the three counties in the

conceded by many that he will be
