We have interviewed all the Alliance
candidates on the subject of the county
ticket. Each one denies having made
the statement in the Cresset about the
ticket being weak one. And more
than that, each one says nobody ever
told him any such stuff"
The poor, fOrsaken Barber county
democrats have a new champion in the
Cresset. Your sympathy is wasted,
neighbor, for the Barber county dele
gates knew what they were doing when
they nominated Mckay. They want to
vote the winning ticket this fall, and
they will vote for Mckay. And this is
what hurts.
Mrs A. L. Chandler left, Monday
morning, for a two weeks visit to Elk
City. Her son, G. Q. Chandler, has
been absent for about four weeks, and
is now at Sioux City, Iowa, and will be
there till the first of September. Mrs.
Chandler found it lonesome at home,
and concluded to make her visit while
her son is absent.
ColdwateT Star: The democratic
congressional convention tor tins con-
gressional district, met at Pratt last

nation and no endorsements. AS there

When Mr.. Hahn takes the Office of
county superintendent he will find every
thing III tiptOp order. Mr.. Lands has
made the best county superintendent
the county ever had, and as good an one
as any other county ever had. But the
people have said to him Come up high
err" and he will accept the call. He
will make as good district clerk as he
has made county superintendent.
The Cresset charges Mr.. Simpson
| Vifb haiOu an anarchist ~ ho o
crime to he an anarchist, it is also
crime to charge man with being a
criminal when he is not. The INDEX
has no sympathy for anarchists, and it
fatty denies any such tendency in Mr.
Simpson. VIII the Cresset please pro.
duce proof Of its charge or acknowledge
that it has done him grevious injury?
Harper Sentinel: zones, of Medicine
Lodge, must be political gymnast, as
he was in the alliance convention,
which nominated Mckay, and was here
last Saturday in the democratic cOnven-
ton, to assist in nominating a candi-
date for the same Office to which Mr..
Mckay is aspiring" You are wrong,
Mr.. Sentinel, Mr.. A. j. Jones was not
in the alliance convention.
+. L. Caruthers returned, Sunday.
from two weeks visit to Southwest
Missouri He visited Kansas City, Jop-
lin. Lamar, Nevada, Carthage and Lex
ingtoR. and saw all the x-Barber coun-
ty people who hags located at these
places. He WAS at Nevada during the
eX-COnfederate reunion, and met many
old-time friends. He was we'll pleased
with the business prospects of several
places, but has not yet decided where
he will locate.
The Cresset gives more than half a
column of its valuable space to answer
a squib from correspondent of the
INDEX. We gave the correspondent
credit for his sharp squib, but the Cres-
set charges II 10 us, and then goes off
i'll a TRADE against MT. Simpson, calling
him an anarchist, an absorbent Of free
whisky and an atheist. We deny these
three charges, and ask the Cresset to
prove them or retract. 1t is easy to
call bad names, but it is not gentleman
ly to do so unless the charges are true.
Wichita Eagle, 23rd: 1.-The trial of
Miss Maggie Palmer, charged with en-
beZzlement, was on hearing before JUS
tice Moseley yesterday and was contin-
ued over until to-day. Very little came
out in the evidence beyond what she
admits, and it seems she promised to
guarantee some of the colonists against
loss. Sheriff Dobson, of Barber coun-
ty, was present, and arrested Morgan.
