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

If THE election could be held next
Monday, there would be pretty good
prospects for the democracy carrying
Barton county. ALI the republicans
will be at Sterling that day. and the
democrats will have full sway in Barton
eounty.-Register.
RIaHT, for once! The hundred or
SO republicans who went to Sterling
Monday represent the bulk of the party
now in the county. The first paragraph
of the above clipping exactly states the
case as it will be on November 9Th,
when the election is held. The repub-
lican candidates had as we'll save their
time, their money, aud their versatile
imsginations and draw out of the race,
Their fate is ''sot."

THERE is very little doubt who will
take the vacant chair left by his honor,
Judge Clark. The people of Rice county
have shown their contempt by calling
in hundreds upon that honest man,
Judge Bailey, and insisting that he be
the peoples candidate. and while
Judge Bailey has legal practice which
financially he cannot afford to drop he
has finally succumbed to the entreaties
of his people and announced himself an
independent candidate for the position
Of District NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Stafford Republican.
Is not this howl about the distribu-
tiOn of the Offices, set up by a number
of newspapers, altogether unseemingly?
BY and by the republican party, if this
be kept up, will become known as an
Office seeking party. When that occurs
down goes the party, as it would de-
serve to 60. Let principle be the guild
ing star, then we are safe.-Salina
Journal, (Rep.)
THE Lord love you, dear Journal, the
g. o. p. has not been known as anything
else this many day! And down goes
her meat house, as sure as shooting!
That ''hOwl" can no more be suppress
ed than the yelp of hungry coyotes on a
Kansas prairie, and the result you pre-
dict is rapidly approaching.

THE Pawnee Rock Leader says 1.-The
trouble in the republican ranks" at
the convention on the l2th, was ~
deplorable affair."" Jesse. From a
republican stand point, and especially
CarawaY standpoint. it was quite
"deplorahle." The Leader did not ''go
very tar towards enIightening you on
the full proceedings" of the convention.
For such enlightenment see last week s
DEAOcRAT.) Bro. Lewis does say,
however, that he was s'backed by
I'awnee Rock township. regardless of
what was said by "smsll" part of the
delegation. We fear the Leader man is
getting into very close proximity to IL
mighty lively buxzsaW.

ATTEND the township conventions
aud put good men on your ticket for
township officers. When the ticket is
nominated, let US know of the fact
as soon as possible so that there may
be no delay in getting the tickets
printed. When writing get the names
written plainly and give the proper
initials. This matter is spoken of to
avoid mistakes that have heretofore
happened in the township tickets.
Township officers are as important to
eacll separate township as are the
county officers to the entire county, and
competent mel should he selected.
Every voter should attend the town

Financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for the sale of the
stock and building lots of the 'Muncie
Natural Gas Land Improvement Company"
of Muncie, Indiana, respectfully offers them
to tho public, believing this to be an unpar-
alleled opportunity to make money rapidly
and legitimately on moderate investment
having spent over three weeks at Muncie
and the offices Of the company, looGing
over its charming city, its fifty
three manufactures and its wonder
full natural gas, which warns and lights the
homes Of its 10000 people, propels its factor
les, lights its streets, and saves its people in
fuel and light already over $780, 600 annual
ly Its population has doubled in the last
few months and must soon reach $4,000.
Having thoroughly investigated its affairs
and the standing of its officers to complete
salts action, the expert prediction Is that
the stock which is today offered at $15 per
share, will, inside of eighteen months com
mand $780, and its building lots increase
in value over fourfold Those who
invest now will get the bottom or ground
floor prices. The man or woman Of moderate
means will rec i've the same consideration in
purchasing one share of stock or one build
ing lot as the banker or capitalist. All Or
ders from this section of the country are
passed to the credit of the Eastern agent,
whether made through him OF the officers of
the company. All correspondence or invest
ments made will be regarded as strictly con-
fidential, and those dealing here direct may
receive advice and suggestions which
they have neither the time
nor opportunity to devote to at
the general offices of the company. The sub
scriber has taken personally and disposed OF
| to intimate friends already over So ,00C
worth of stock and building lots and respect.

FATE OF THE MoNoNGAHELA.
Naval Officers Think She Has Been
Wrcckcd-NO Tidings.

The fear is growing at the navy depart
ment that the United States ship Mononga-
hela, which was sent out with stores for our
fleet in Samoa, will never be heard from
again. The vessel has been out IS days from
San Francisco when the last steamer left
Apia, and the run from San Francisco to
Samoa ought not to have taken over 40 days.
If the Monongahela had reached Apia, it
would certainly have been reported to the
department, for commanders are required to
report the arrival of their vessels, and our
government has an officer at Auckland, in
Australia, for the especial purpose of re-
porting the news from Samoa. Navy Off
GERS fear that the Monongahela was
near Samoa when the great storm of
March Is struck, and that she went down.
The fact that the ship carried a heavy
deckload of coal would have made it difficult
to handle her in heavy blow. She was an
old craft launched in 1862. She was con-
verted from q steamer into a sailing vessel in
1872 which would naturally tend to weaken
her. The complement of the ship is five Off
GERS and fifty men. Commander George E.
Wingate who is in command of the vessel,
is from New Hampshire, and is regarded as
one of the most prudent and efficient officers
in tha service

KILLED FOUR ZUNIS.

Three Red-Handed Cowboys Cap
tured in Mexico.
The three cowboys who killed four Zuni
Indians at Wingate were captured near
Albuquerque Mex, May 10. Their names
are James Sommerville, David Hamm and
Robert Davis. The cowboys were en- route
to a ranch in the neighborhood, and observ-
ing a number of cattle, drove off dozen or
more. The stock belonged to the IpdianS,
and as soon as they discovered the theft they
made after the cowboys demanding their
stock. Argument proving futile, the Indians
attempted to take the cattle, when Sommer-
vile pulled his weapon and shot one of the
Indians dead. The firing then became gem
eral. The cowboys proved to be the best
marksmen, and killed all four Indians.
Davis was shot through the body, but his
companions placed him on his horse and then
fed. The matter was reported to the sheriff,
who with posse captured the murderers.
Sommerville IS wellknown horse and cattle
thief.
