A half carload of stone was received

furnish.

the contract, last week, and the original

In few days the INDEX hopes to an
nounce the location here of several gen.
tlemen who will bring with them unllm-
tied capital from neIghboring state to
engage in a business that will mean
prosperity for hundreds of Barber coun-
ty people. They will also be the means
of bringing here quite an increase OF
population.
Here is chance for Barber county
corn shuckers: -Four boys by the name
of Matthews, in Smith county, offer to
bet 800 to $500 that they can husk and
crib 500 bushels of corn in day. They
have two sisters whom they offer to bel
can husk $50 bushels day and put it II
the CRIB. One of the girls won fifty dol
lars one day last week, on wager that
she could husk fifty bushels IN five
hours. She husked sixty bushels ant
won the wager.
Practically all of the time OF the dis
trict court during the past week ha:
been occupied in hearing the Spencer
attachment case. The Standard Imple
ment Co, is seeking to have the attach
ments levied by the Parlin- Orendorf
Co. set aside, plaintiffs claiming TIT
goods under chattel mortgage, The CASE
shows that Spencer pursued very irreg
ular methods, and in any other countr!
they would have been called dishonest
The jury retired in the case last night
and this morning returned a verdict il
favor of the attaching creditors, Parlil
& Orendorff Co. The motion for new
trial in the case of Field against tn,
city of Medicine Lodge will come VI
tomorrow morning.
The advantage of raising beets TO
sugar is that they can be worked afte
the cane season is over, even until tn,
following spring. They may be dug uT
and piled in the field, or they may b.
stored in cellars-anywhere to keel
them from freezing. The soil along tn,
Elm and the Medicine is peculiarl,
adapted to the growth of beets, al
shown this season. Eldred & Hinmal
had four experimental patches planted
one across Elm, east of town, one diret
ly south of the big dam at the lake, nea
cunningham's place, one in the Eldret
| feed lots, south of the sugarworks anC
a patch on Miss Lammiman's farm
southeast two miles. All of these patch
es did well and the beets were full O.
sugar. That branch of the sugar bust
ness will be an important industry here
by next season. When any root or plan
will turn out $50 pounds of sugar to thu
ton it should he cultivated and encour
aged.
