HazeltOn Happenings.

Two of j. H. Browns children and
one of II. Chedister's have been quite
sick this week, but are improving.
Sheriff DObsOn, Deputy Sheriff Boyd
and l.. M. Axllne were here, this week,
on business. w. H. Virgins is bull
ding a stable, l2x80 feet, on a. II.
Peck's farm, adjoining Hazelton.
The latest report from the county alli-
ance is that the Lodge and Sharon to-
gether captured the loaves and fishes in
the Official line. {. i. Farmers are busy
sowing oats and getting IN shape for
planting corn. Rev. Wood, of Wichi-
ia, was IN the city, Friday, looking af-
ter his farm interests in this vicinity
-. Harry LebrechU and j. B. Hall
worth, of the Lodge, were here, Satur-
day, to attend lawsuit. Rev. Fay
preached his last sermon for this con-
ference year at Hazelton Sunday. AT
ter preaching, twelve probatloners were
received into full membership. In the
afternoon he preached west of town,
and received ten probationers. About
forty is the net increase during the year,
at this place; all claims paid up in full.
1t has been the most successful year the
church has ever experienced here, and
whether Rev. Fay is returned here or
not, he will long be held in grateful re-
membrance by the people of Hazelton,
for the good work he has accomplished
here. w. G. A.

ENTERING THE STRIP.

Last week, when it was announced
that the bill for the government of Ok
lahOma and the opening of No Mans
Land to settlement had paased the low
er house of congress, hundreds Of peO-
pie along the border, both in Oklahoma
and Kansas, without waiting for fur
Their particulars, invaded the Cherokee
Strip, or outlet. From Arkansas City
and Caldwell hundreds of people rushed
to the Strip, and laid off claims and
townsites, and organized townsite COM
Danies. Similar crowds went in from
Guthrie, on the south, and quite num-
Der went down from Kiowa, Anthony,
and, in fact, all along the line.
Reports from Arkansas City were
that the cattle on the Strip had STAN
peded and broken down the fences, and
that the grass on many of the ranges on
the Strip had been burned on.
The cattlemen are in great trouble.
and think they will sustain great losses.
A number of them were returning from
the Fort Worth convention. and when
at Guthrie they first heard the news of
the invasion. They could not believe
it, but a few minutes later the camp.
fires, surrounded by the invaders them
selves, were seen glowing in the dark
ness, and confirmed the report. The
cattlemen were greatly disturbed at the
invasion of their lands, and a meeting
was held in the Pullman smoking room.
Mr.. Hewens presided, and, on motion,
appointed a committee to notify the
secretary of interior of the facts in the
case, and ask for troops to.restore to
them the possession of their lands.
But" remarked President Hewins.

a TARIFF POEM

Kingman Democrat HE sat in his
door at MONDAY, lonely and gloomy and
sad broOding oyer the price of his crop,
and figuring how much he had. He had
worked from early spring-time. early
and late and hard and he was count
ing his assets, and figuring out his re-
ward. He figured that it took two acres
to buy his two boys new boots, and ten
acres more on top of this to fit them out
with new suits. To buy his wife pro-
tected. dress took 100 bushels more.
while five acres went in solid lump
for the carpet on the floor. His taxes
and his grocery bill absorbed his crop
of oats, while the interest on his farm
mortgage took all his fattened shoats.
The shingles on his cow-shed, and the
lumber for his barn had eaten up his
beef steers and the balance of his corn.
So he sat in his door at MONDAY, lonely
and gloomy and sore. as he figured up
his wealth, a little less than it was the
year before. by gum, they say Pm
protected, but know there's something
wrong; I've been deceived and gulled
and hoodwinked by this high protection
song. They told of rebellious traitors,
and held up the bloody rag, and l fol-
lowed along like pumpkin, and now
am holding the bag. But from this
time on I'll investigate, and get to the
bottom of facts, and I'll bet 81 to begin
with, that the tariff is tax

Tariff Talk

Wehave heard considerable said, late
ly, regarding the hard times among the
farmers. and there is more truth i'll
what is said than some are willing to
admit. There is no question but that
the farmer is being slowly but surely
driven to the wall by carefully devised
system of robbery in the way of an in
direct tax on everything he has to buy.
and by combining him To a so-called
home market in what he has to sell. If
the system is kept up it will eventually
ruin the farming interests of this coun-
try. 1t has already done great injury.
There aFe other classes also that are
being made to feel the effects of the
unjust system as much, if not more.
than the farmers. We will take the
retail merchant for example Every
thing he buys in the way of manufac-
turen goods is controlled to greater or or
less extent by trusts and combines.
The price is fixed regardless of supply
and demand, and the merchant has no
alternative but to pay the price or go
out of business. The result is easily
seen. The farmer is contending for
cheaper goods. The merchants in their
efforts to please the farmers, put down
the price as low as possible. Compe-
tition between merchants is necessarily
close, and the result is that there are
more business men that are forced to
the wall, in proportion to their num-
bers, than there are farmers who make
failures. There have been, IN the last
five wears. in a Kansas town of less than
600 inhabitants, no less than thirteen
men who have engaged in the dry goods
and grocery business. who have quit
with less money than they had at the
start. In the drug business FIVE have
had like experience. The re es.enrant
men number four; the hardware men
can point to the total wreck of two of
their number. The furniture men can
look back on the lost fortunes of three
OF their number. And while we are on

ALLIANCE DEMANDS.

The alliance resolutions, published in
the INDEX to-day, must be very bitter
medicine for the average Barber county
republican to swallow.
The resolutions demand the abolition
of the republican pets-national banks
They demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and the republican
leaders are opposed to it.
The alliance wants the alien owner
ship of land restricted, while the policy
of the dominant party has been to en-
courage the introduction here of aliens.
and pauper European labor.
The alliance wants the land which
has been stolen by the vast railroad cor
porations, with the knowledge, consent,
and by the assistance of the republican
majority, turned back to the govern
ment.
The alliance objects to the building
up of millionaire fortunes in the east,
at the expense of the western farmer;
or, to be palmer, 1t favors a repeal of
the outrageous republican high tariff
law.
1t opposes surplus, and would have
taxation and tariff cut down to the &C
tual need of the government. That is
exactly what a tariff for revenue only"
means.
The alliance favors free sugar, with
bounty to home producers equal to the
present tariff free lumber and free
coal. The republican party is opposed
to free anything that the masses use, so
long as the protected sugar trusts, salt
trusts, Irvine trusts, whisky trusts, coal
mine owners and other bloated monop-
Olists contribute fat" to the republic
can campaign fund.
! The alliance demands the abolition
of trusts and combines, while the lead.
er of the republican party, Mr.. Blaine,
says that trusts are largely private
affairs. with which the public has no
concern" Abolish trusts and the USE
fulness of the republican party will be
| ended.
The alliance demands economy in
state and county affairs, while the re-
publican party of Barber county elected
and reelected man to Office who was
charged with shortage of thousands
of dollars of the peoples money; while
the republican party of Barber county
elected and reelected, with increased
majOrities, officers who had deliberately
drawn hundreds of dollars in salary to
which they were not entitled. While
the national republican party one year
ago found full treasury, and an annu-
al surplus of fifty million dollars, it is
now wondering where it will get money
to meet It's extravaganza expenditures.
These are few of the things refer
red to in the resolutions adopted by the
county alliance week ago, Every re-
form suggested by the resolutions is
sensible and laudable, and has been ad-
vocated by this Newspaper for months or
years. The resolutions might have gone
still further
AS it is, if the reforms recommended
and demanded are inaugurated, the or
ganization of alliances in Barber coun-
ty will have been glorious work. They
have the power to enforce every de-
mand.

this line we might as well not slight the
butchers. They are represented by
eleven men who did not get rich. The
hotel men can point to eight of their
class who used up their bank accounts.
The liverymen come in with six victims
to show that all isnot gold that glitters
Do you see Out of less than 600 peo-
pie, in one town, fifty have gone out of
business broken, or poorer than when
they went into business. If we take
the brick and stone masons. painters,
plasterers, contractors, blacksmiths,
harness makers, shoe makers. lawyers,
doctors, preachers and day laborers, we
find the record but little better than
with those already enumerated. While
it is evident that the farmers have Just
cause of complaint, they are in no worse
condition. and have no better cause for
complaint, than their neighbors in the
towns and small cities. The only sure
way to get relief is for the farmer to
stop trying to ruin the small merchant,
and the merchant to stop trying any
unfair means with the farmer Their
interests, to a certain extent, are mutu-
al, and when they are all in condition
to look at the matter calmly, and then
march to the ballot-box and cast their
ballots for their mutual benefit, and not
for the benefit of the Wall street money
sharks or the high tariff robbers, then
and not till then will brighter day
dawn for the oppressed millions of free
born American men and women. By
your votes say TO those who have grown
rich off of your toll, Thou shalt not

County Historical Societies.

Secretary Adams, in circular, says
that the board of directors of the Kan
sas state historical society, at its meet
ing January 21st, 1890, by resolution
directed the secretary of the society to
open up correspondence with persons
throughout the state, with the view to
the formation of county historical soci-
cites. The object of such county his
torical society should be to study the
history of the county; and of all its
towns, neighbOrhoods and localities,
and to preserve the materials of such
history. Such society should have a
constitution, and regularly appointed
officers, and room or rooms, furnished
with cases; and it should haye stated
meetings. AT the meetings there should
be lectures delivered, papers read, and
stories and "reminiscences of the early
settlers narrated, the substance of
which should be written down for pres
ervatiOn in the society's library. All
original papers should be preserved.
Copies of the same, if given the state
historical society, will be carefully pre-
served in the state archives.
A library OF historical and other books
and cabinet of relics illustrative of
history, should be accumulated, and
the rooms of the society should be
adorned with pictures of early pioneers
and other prominent persons, and with
other pictures of historic illustration.
In many instances, probably, room in
the county courthouse can be secured,
in which cases may be placed for the
library and collections, where they
should be made the property of the pub
lie, to be preserved for all time.

The Oklahoma bill, as passed by the
lower house of congress, last week, con-
tains provisions which fix the bounda-
ries of the new territory so as to include
the Cherokee strip, with provision
that no lands which the Indians occupy
under the law, shall be included with
out their consent, except for judicial
purposes. They extend oyer the new
territory the constitution and laws of
the United States, and the code of Ne
braska, without interference with the
local Indian governments, acting under
their treaty rights. Seven counties are
established. The county seats are to be
at Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Norman,
Lisbon, or Kingfsher, Beaver, Stillwa-
ter, and one or more to be fixed by the
secretary Of the interior. No-Man' S
outlet Is declared to be public land, and
open to settlement under the home
stead laws, and bona fide settlers and
occupants are given preference right.
Another provision prohibits the intro
