Barber County Poets

BY ROLLIE ROE.
once l thought it-now / know it,
That we have a Natures Poet
Upon every other section,
From the Lodge in each direction.
And when walking down the street,
Every other man we m9et
Is a Milton in disguise,
Searching for Maynard Paradise.
And as they in silence pass us,
Straddled on the plug Pegasus,
Well we know they are inspired,
For their plug grows never tired.
Then, e'er the steed the corner turns,
The bonnie face O Bobbie Burns
Comes down wi some poetic line,
An maks us think O. "Auld Lang Syne."
one with looks unshorn, but shaver,
Locks as black as Edgar's Raven"
He signs for days gone long before.
Which he shall see, ''ah, Nevermore."
Others rhyme on themes polite,
Stlll others pose as poets critic;
And few their genius bend
In many lines of strange legend.
They re plentiful, and ere we know it.
UNDECIDED we may pass poet,
Who may have written some great lay
On 'Silver Frost" or Budding May"
The seorching winds may blight our crops
But the yield of poets never stops,
And never will, till Time shall rest
His wings DER land with genius blest.
Far away country there is,
Rocked and Graded by the fairies;
And they have a special Arbor
Where poets grow, in dreves, for Barber.

The first term of the Dodge City
school of theology will open May u.
The Dodge City mentioned is the same
town known for its wickedness up to
ELSEWHERE dance houses thrived; where
there was saloon on every corner and
no school i'll the valley; where day was
not complete without its murder; the
home Of Bat Masterson, of numerous
Wild Bills and Texas Jacks. All is
now changed, and the school of lnstruc-
ton in the enticIng game of faro has
given way to theological school. The
Sunday school has taken the place of
Sunday keno. An educational institu-
ton demands the attention and admira-
ton OF the citizen who used to rack
his brain over the mysteries of hazard
and prayer meeting is now more en-
ticing than the whilom game of draw
poker. Indeed times have changed at
Dodge City and it is to be hoped that
the school OF theology will be grand
success.

If May 1st is fixed for the entrance
into Oklahoma, it is not likely that the
settlers will raise a crop this year, and
as they will have to remain closely on
their claims topreyent them from being
Jumped, we cannot see what these peo-
pie expect to live on. Barber county is
now In most excellent shape for a big
crop to be planted, and if her restless
citizens are wise they will not leave a
certainty here for an uncertainty in
Oklahoma.

n Washington dispatch says that
Col. Parkinson, of the Fort Scott sugar
works, is there presumably asking for a
slice of the $4,000 appropriation made
by congress for further experiments in
sorghum sugar making. Col. Parkin-
son says that three new mills are to be
erected on the line of the Rock Island
railroad at Meade Center, Arkalon and
Liberal, and these, he says, will each
demand $4,000 each from the govern
ment. We would like for Medicine
Lodge to make arrangements to get its
Slice Of the augmentation.

Candidates for office must file papers
with the proper department at Wash
ington. Congressman Funston, of this
state, went to the postmaster general
the other day to have some one appoint
ed in his district, and he was asked for
the papers and recommendations. Mr..
Funston said the documents were at his
room, but they would not be submitted
as IT was not customary, the congress
men having been allowed to make rec
concentrations and he afterwards beng
held sesponsible. 1T is our rule" said
Mr.. Wanamaker, to call tor all the pa
pers and examine them before making
an appointment. 1t is very likely that
we will select your man." Mr.. Funston
declined to submit the papers, holtStiine
that it was the prerogative of the con
gressmen to select the man he wanted
among the several candidates for Office
within his district, and said that If the
postmaster general overruled his recon-
mendation he would fight hmm in the
senate, the house Representatives aud
on the street. Mr.. Wanamaker, in re-
ply. said that the postmaster general
proposed to share the responsibility,
and did not intend to act merely as a
clerk TO gil out commissions as the con-
gressmen called for them. Mr.. Funston
appealed 10 the president, but the lat
ter sustained the postmaster general.
and said the rule would be strictly en-
forced.

n salt trust has been formed by the
New York and Michigan mine owners,
aud now they are calculating on includ-
ing the salt wells of Kansas in their
combination. The operators at Hutch
inson have been asked for six months
option on their plants. The expressed
object is to limit the salt output of the
country so that the prices may be pam
tained. IL is believed that Hutchinson
will sell. But the salt industry in Kan
sas is assuming such proportions and it
is such an easy matter to strike salt in
the state, that it will hardly be possible
for trust to control the output of the
state
