A story is current here about couple
from this city being engaged in irregu-
lar conduct at a neighbOring city, regis
tering at a hotel as man and wife, re-
lationship they did not bear. AS the
party most intereste d, the wronged
husband, denies the truth of the story,
the INDEX does not feel inclined to fur
ther publish the rumors.

DR.. Hardtner, who at one time owned
thousands of acres of land alo ng the
southern line of Barber county, known
as the Two and Half Mile Strip, was
here this week from Illinois. When he
bought that land, ten years ago, for 81
per acre, 1t was discussed here as the
act of lunatic, and one man, now liv-
ing here, said the old gentleman should
be put in an asylum. To-day the city
of Klowa, the town of Hardtner, the
Campbell farm and some of the most
farms in Barber county are on
the Hardtner tract and it is, as whole, |
worth $40 an acre. 1t shows that what |
was good judgment here ten years ago
IS good judgment now.
The Kiowa Cigar Factory, Mr.. Burris
proprietor, this week introduced its |
goods here, selling several thousand |
leaders. Everything else being equal, |
it would be business for our merchants |
and dealers to buy of Mr.. Burris. He |
is resident of the county, pays taxes
on his mandatory and gives employ
ment to several men who are also citi- |
zens. The Leavenworth, Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Wichita cigar houses
are not interested in this town or the
county; they carry away our good
money and invest it elsewhere. A
Kiowa firm is Barber county firm, and
rs long as it makes as good cigars land
it does that as those sold by eastern
houses, why, of course, our citizens
should buy of hOmepeople. The prices
are as cheap as standard goods can be
purchased for anywhere.

Fred, who are connected with the

Ierman scientific schools and both
nave their diplomas. Henry Hinze, the
slder OF the two, erected two or three
oeet sugar mills in Germany and devo-
ed seventeen years to the industry in
hat country. He devoted three years
% the sugar business in the south, on
iov. Warmouth's plantation, and last
season he was at Fort Scott. Both are (
enthusiasts on the diffusion process,
md they are considered the best men (
n the United States in the sorghum
ugar industry. Fred Hinze, who is in
