The New Proposition.

On the petition of III citizens of Med
icine Lodge, the city council, at its reg
ular meeting last Wednesday evening,
passed an ordinance calling an election
for Thursday, February 2sth. that the
voters may vote on the proposition to
issue city bonds to the amount of $780,
600 ''for the purpose of procuring water
works to be constructed for supplying
the inhabitants of said city with water
for domestic use, the extinguishment OF
fires and for manufacturing and other
purposes" OF course here it is under
stood that this is to secure the neceS-
sary money to enable the city to accept
Col. Eldred's sugar-works proposition,
and in return, the city is to have prac-
ticable and lasting system of water
works-one that will not be dependent
upon an open ditch or the caprices OF
Elm creek. The water will be supplied
by direct pressure, as we understand It.
So far as we have heard, there is nc
opposition to the new scheme. The
bonds voted on the 30th ult., $40, 900 in
amount, will not be issued, and the new
proposition is to be considered now.
The city can we'll afford to give the
difference between the actual cost OF
waterworkS and what the contractor
will likely expend for them, if in con-
nection with them we can get a sub
stantial sorghum sugar factory, with
some other industry attached to it.
We predict that there will not be a
dozen votes cast against the bonds.

The Concert Last Night.

The Parlor concert, by the NJ. E.
church choir, assisted by other musical
talent, at Thompson's opera house, last
night, was the best treat that our peo-
pie have enjoyed this season. There
was large audience and every rendi.
tion was duly appreciated. Besides the
home talent, of which this city is Justly
proud, last night marked the first pub
lie appearance here of Mr.. Frank Nav.
late arrival from London, now a resi-
dent OF this city, vocalist of interna-
t.onal reputation. He surpassed the
expectations of his anxious hearers in
every particular, and his renditions
showed a perfect voice and high con-
ception of his work. He was eneored
after each number, and at the last, by
special request, repeated selection be-
fore his delighted auditors would con-
sent to hear the Good Night song. Miss
Blanche Kercheval, another late arrival
from Iowa, also delighted and surprised
the audience with her superior ideas of
piano music in her accomplishments, in
solo and with Mrs. McCracken in a
difficult Duet. 1t is yet a debatable
question as to which of these two ladies
is the better performer. Mr.. Mel. H.
Klink, of Hazelton, was another impor-
tatiOn, and as cornet soloist, he has
never been excelled in this city, if in
this part OF the state. Mrs. Peck and
Mrs. Johnston each left sick beds to ap-
pear in the concert, though each MAIN
tanned her we'll earned reputation, and
still further entwined themselves
around the hearts of our muslc-loving
people.
Our own Tom. Molloy was there, too,
and of course his admlrers would not
be satisfied until he for the second time
delighted them. J. G. Walstad, as a
. .io...:.S. needs no commendation here.
for he always does good. honest work.
The choir proper, Mrs. Johnston, Mrs.
W. w. Cook, Miss Della Moore, A. w.

R. Stone, did its part well. Following

E p vandever CAPTURED.

1t will be remembered that in July.
1886, the dead body Of w. r. Davis, a
Missourian, was found in the Arkansas
river, short distance from Garden
City. 1t was known that he had left
home with E. p. Vandever and C. j. F.
Brown, two men who had left B irber
county few months before. Vance
yer was regarded here as disreputable
character, and probably horse thief.
Brown was harmless character, while
here affecting the manners of dude.
a few days before the body of Days
was found, near Garden City, Vande-
yer and Brown had sold fine team of
mules, belonging to Davis, to a livery
firm in Garden City, for 500. and. after
purchasing new clothes, and Disgusting
their former appearance, they left the
town.
Knowing that Vandever had a wife
in Morton county, a sheriff's posse of
four men, including Frank McAlister
and Barney O'Conner, also former cit
liens of Barber county, and acquainted
with the fugitives, at once started in
that direction, in pursuit, but no one
was found at Vandever's home, and the
posse went on to the town ;of Frisco,
where they surprised Brown in livery
stable. He showed fight, but before he
could use his gun the Winchesters were
turned loose on him, and he was rid.
died to death. His body was taken back
to Garden City, and the officers were
exonerated by the coroner's jury.
From that time nothing was heard of
VandeVer, who was known throughout
this country as desperate, until last
week, when Deputy Sheriff Sankey, of
Garden City, received a telegram from
Boynton, Mo-, asking if Vandever was
wanted, and if so they had him there.
A reply was sent to hold him, and San
key started after his man, and landed
him safely in the Jail at Garden City,
last Saturday. Vandever answers in
every particular the description of the
man wanted, but protests his innocence,
and says that at the time of the murder
he was over four hundred miles from
Garden City. He objected to coming
west, not on account of guilt, but be-
cause he feared mob law. No one has
identified him as the man, but he will
probably be confronted with witnesses
in day or two.

Don't Get Wild.

tits to be hoped that although there
new growth this season, the property
owners will not go crazy, and advance
prices on real estate. A disposition to
do this has marked every era of pros
perity that has heretofore visited us.
If owners of vacant town lots would
agree to maintain present values, and
sell only to those who expect to improve
the property, there is good reason for
believing that the population of this
city will be one half greater by next
January than it is now. The proposed
new industries will bring in new people;
our admirable school facilities will
bring people here who are DESTROYS of
educating their children; the we'll
known health-giving properties of our
climate and water will bring others
here who could not live in other places.
Then, this city is provided with church
es and good society; it is practically
free from vice and temptation, and 1t
is a superior location for raising fami-
lies. 1t only remains, then, for The
property owners to properly encourage
every one who may desire to.settle here.
Heretofore the town has never outgrown
the country, and we would not desire
that it should; but we believe that the
country adjacent to Medicine Lodge
will maintain city of three thousand
people IN one year from this time. AS
to what our population may eventually
be, we will not even venture a conjec-
ture, but certainly it will not be less
than five thousand inside of the next
three years, If we make good use of our
opportunities.

The Baby Show.

The baby show, under the direction
of the Willing Workers, occurred at
Thompson's opera house last Saturday
afternoon, and the ladies cleared quite
nice sum from their enterprise. The
admission fee was ten cents for chill
dren, and fifteen cents fol adults, and
the vote showed that there must have
been considerably over two hundred
people who witnessed the show. In the
first class. for the sweetest, prettiest
and best child, over one year old, there
were sixteen entries, and every one of
them good. The first prize was award
ed to Jessie Lucille Caruthers. aged IA
months owned by the BARBER COUNTY
INDEX. The second prize went to the
15-months old son of r. G. Craig, who
lives five miles south of here. This
was All unusually fine baby, with large
black eyes, black, curly hair, and fine.
gentle expression.
The first prize for the prettiest, finest
and sweetest child under one year old,
was awarded to the 10-months old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Slane,
who live directly west of the depot. The
little miss captured hearts and votes at
first sight, and then they went to work
! to secure other votes for her, and the IS
votes she received was fair attesta-
ton of her popularity. The second
prize in this class was awarded to Neff,
the S-months old son Of A. s. McClea-
rey, a fine, large, healthy boy that any
couple might be proud of. There were
nineteen entries in this class, everyone
worthy of a prize. There was total of
thirty-fve babies on exhibition, and we
are satisfied that another lot of such
| fine specimens of infantile humanity
could not be found in the county. We
expected to print each name, and the
number of votes received, but the record
was not preserved. There was some
| dissatisfaction at the manner of cleo
pioneering and voting, but, of course,
the result could not be expected to sat-
| iSfy everybody.

Trouble About an Organ.

Lake City, west of here, 18 miles, is
all torn up over an organ. Some time
ago subscription paper was started,
and funds subscribed, to purchase an
organ for the Union Sunday School of
that place, an organization controlled
by no particular sect. The organ was
used on Sundays, during church servi-
ces, and during the week it was used in
the public school, the teacher, Mrs.
Tinchnor, being good musician.
Last week it occurred to some OF the
members of the Methodist congrega-
tion of Lake City that the organ was
the property of that congregation, and
that it should not be put to any such
worldly use as furnishing music for the
heathens who were attending the pub
lie school. Accordingly, two female
members of the congregation went to
the school room and boldly ''yanked"
the organ out, and putting it upon a
wagon, hauled it to the M. E. parson-
age. 1t took but short time for the
| quiet village to hear of this, and several
members of the Union Sunday school,
who had contributed to the fund that
paid for the organ, went to the parson-
age, and, taking possession of the or
gan, took it back to the school room.
The next move was by the Method
lists. They went before justice of the
peace and secured a writ of replevin,
and again took the organ to the par
| sOnage.
| Things were getting warm, and a war
like unto county-seat fight was not
improbable. The Union Sunday school
people gave re-delivery bond, and
again took the organ to the school room
About last Friday night some one stole
the organ from the school room. And
then there was perplexity. Each side
accused the other of the theft; each de-
MED; and then outsiders were brought
into the fight.
| A search warrant was then secured,
and the first place attacked was Reub.
Lakes bank vault. Reub. told them be
was not in the fght-would not have
an organ if it were given to him-and
that he knew nothing about the theft
but all to no avail. And so he opened
the bank vault, and there was no organ
| to be seen.
When our informant left Lake City,
Monday, the question was not ''who
| has the thimble P' but it was "Who has
| the organ ?''
This fight over an organ shows what
an insignificant thing can stir up a row
in small place. No town will ever
prosper when its people can be thrown
off their equilibrium by so small an af-
fair as the ownership of squeaky or
gan.
