Died, Aug. 18th, at the esidence of Nora Root,
Josie A, wife of VIM. Root. 1t will be remen-
bered that the marriage notice of William
Root and Josie King appeared in this paper
five weeks ago. They were married on the frs
of July. Truly it calls to mind that in the
midst of life we are in death. The funeral
was preached at the Forest City school house,
by Rev. Jesse Shamburger. The remains
were followed by large concorse of people.
Although she had been sick two weeks, her
death was quite a surprise. The rest of the
sick In this neighbOrhood are all improving,
except David Ballard, who is very low with
consumption.
We are needing another soaking rain to put
the ground in order for blowing. Some are
using sod cutters, thereby preparing the
ground for wheat.
The corn cutters are giving satisfaction.

.mVTALTTY WON'T WIN.

Wichita Eagle: Congressman Peters says
James HallOwell will not save any of his 81, 600
q year either. Mr.. Peters is probably right.
But besides the 81, 900, prince Hal'' will give
the people of Washington about $4,000 worth
of whole-souled joviality additional.
Arkansas City Dispatch: 1t will cost more
than $4,000 worth of joviality to get there, and
should he by some miracle succeed, joviality
is about all the 18th district may expect from
him. But he can never be elected. No, sir.
He can't come any nearer than Perkins can.
We are pleased to see the word ''jovi-
atty" taking the place of the word
bum" Mr.. Hallowell left here on
the Fourth of July, and went to Kiow wa,

THEY WANT JERRY

A dispatch from Hugoton, Stevens
county, says: Politics is the great
theme in this part of the state. The
farmers alliance are nominating full
county tickets. Three fOurths of the
farmers are in the alliance and will
vote solid. Jerry Simpson, the alliance
candidate, will get the solid alliance
vote besides scores who do not belong
to the alliance. The democrats in the
southwest are all for Simpson. The
two democratic papers and one of the re-
publican papers in this county are sup
porting Simpson. The Times Of this
city Is the only paper supporting Hal
lowell, and it controls but one vote"

OHR STATE TICKET.

The Peoples Party met at Topeka,
last Wednesday, in delegate conven-
ton, and nominated full state ticket.
There were nearly six hundred dele
gates present and the convention was
perfectly harmonious. Not row, nor
a harsh word was heard; there was no
wire-pulling; there was no secret knit
ing of old political enemies; there
were no old-time feuds to be settled;
no old wounds to be torn afresh, to
bleed in sight of all the world. The
delegates had gone there to nominate
the best men. Every county in the
state was we'll represented. We be-
lieve the ticket to be a good one, and
one for which any thinker can vote
without stultifying his self-reSpect.
We are aware Of the fact that the
ticket will be criticised. Some will de-
nounce the nomination of woman for
state superintendent. Others will de-
nounce ths niger" who is the nornl'
nee for auditor. We will say here that
we think a moral, respectable negro
a better man than an immoral charac-
terless white man. We hope the party
will give Mr.. Foster solid vote, thus
proving that the nomination OF COL
ored man was not merely a political
trick to catch the colored vote, with
the generalization of slaughtering him
at the polls. This trick has been
worked in this state till it is rotten.
Some, who want an excuse for oppo-
sition, will want to know why Ex-Gov-
ernor Charles Robinson was not nomi-
mated for governor. Others will want
to know why Mr.. Clover was not noml-
mated. 1t is useless to argue with men
who seek excuses to be hostile. To all
such we simply say that the ticket is
good enough as it is. The nominees
stand on a platform that is worthy
of the support of every reasonable man
who has the good of the masses at
heart. We are tired of windy promises,
made by aristocrats, who care nothing
for the people except to get their votes
and their money; men VINO nave Deen
IN office so long that they have forgot
ten how to sweat. Men who have assO-
ISOLATED with rich monopolists till they
can see no beauty in anything but
trusts and corporations. We want a
new deal. We want men fresh from
contact with the farming and laborinP
eIements. They will necessarily he
men who have not made brilliant polit-
calrecords, for all these so called BRILL
ant men are old political hacks.
Every man who is opposed to the tar
if should vote this ticket. 1t can be
elected if all the elements opposed to
the robbery OF the people will give
it united support. Will you help the
move nOp, or will you throw away your
vote this fall, and thus do what you
can to bind the yoke on your own NECK
for two years more?

Jerry Simpson, our candidate for the
lower house of congress, is western
man, for years sailor on the great
lakes; an old soldier, and during the
past twelve years a citizen of Kan
sas. About six years ago he came to
Barber comfy and invested in land
and cattle. Mr.. Simpson still owns
and tills his farm east Of Medicine
Lodge. His candidacy on peoples
ticket, DEVOTED to reform, retrenchment
and change in the financial legisla-
ton of the country, is peculiarly appro-
pirate. The st. Louis platform, which
is the corner. stone of this new move
ment "of the people, for the people and
by the people," emDOdies the leading
and central ideas for which as an indie
pendent in politics, he has for years
striven. MI. Simpson has been stig-
matized as democrat. Nothing could
be further from the truth. He has new
er voted democratic ticket, state or
national, and the one political idea
upon which they have agreed has been
that of tariff reform. If this, and this
alone be necessary to constitute one
democrat, what shall be said of the
Wichita Eagle, of Sluss, and of Plumb.
Asa matter of fact, Mr.. Simpson was,
formerly, a republican, and his father
before him, an abolitionlst. Mr.. SimP-
son is not collegiate, nor need he be
to know the wants of those with whom
he has suffered for years. He is clear
thinker, a forcible talker, and OF ster-
ling honesty. There are few men IN
the big seventh" who dare meet him
on the stump, to discuss living, Instead
of dead, issues. Mr.. Simpson is daily
growing stronger, even though he does
not ride in a private ear. and will be
elected, ''by the the people and for the
naOnlAO

There will be music in the air from

This means that Simpson will get 95

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR

In order that the INDEX may be
placed in every family in this congress
sional district, we have put the price
down to one dollar year. No name
will be put on the list till the money is
paid. All old subscribers are requested
TO come in and settle up to date, and

The INDEX is in favor of railroads.
We can't get along without them. But
we want them to remember that the
people have some rights. If it costs
SIS 600 a mile to build road, and it is
then bonded for 100000 per mile, we
want It to pay taxes on valuation
equal to It's bonded Indebtedness. This
would soon squeeze the water out of
railroad stock.
