as Nominee
Tho Fraudulent Senators win Allow the
Local Managers to Rum Things-
Carter In It

WASHINGTON. Sept. Especial. .1-When
L. H. Hershdeld, of Montana, was in Wash
inRton it was known that he came on polit-
ical business, but the exact purport could
not be learned. It is now said that his
mission was to find out whether Carter was
in the fight for congress from Montana and
If he was not that Hershfeld would enter
the race. Hershfeld was chairman Of the
committee when Carter received his 5000
majority and it is believed that Hershfeld
thinks he knows how the result was brought
about. There are quite a number of Mon
tana republicans who are not particularly
pleased with Seligman and want to again
see Hershfield in the saddle. The Montana
fraudulent senator's are not worrying them
selves over the coming election, being per-
fectly satisfied to see the other fellows run
things. Carter's position ON the campaign
committee makes Montana politics quite
interesting to politicians in Washington.
Representative Wilson read from his sick
bed this morning stock of kilograms an
nouncing that he has carried Spokane
county, having 16O ont of $50 delegates in
the convention. They were worth days
medicine to him, and the men who had
been SO active in his behalf seemed to be
very happy. The action of Spokane, Mr..
Wilson regards as settling the contest in
the state so far as representative is con-
cerned, and he expects that the nomination n
will now come very easy, as there has been
but little opposition to him in other i, arts
of the state.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lin the senate vot-
ing on the amendments to the tariff bill
will begin Tuesday and continue until all
are disposed Of. When that will be cannot
be stated with exactness, but it is believed
the final vote will be near the close Of the
week. The conference report on the river
and harbor bill will probably be agreed to
Tomorrow. The land grant forfeiture and
anti.lottery bills will probably follow the
tariff. ~

Harvest by Moonlight.

These bright moonlight nights are
being taken advantage OF by the har-
vesters and thousands of acres OF ripe
wheat will be gathered into the binders
arms or fall into the header elevators
this week in Barber county. On most
farms where moonlight is utilized, the
plan is to work two forces OF men and
teams, one in the daytime and one al
night; though farmers with limited
help and few teams cut early in the
morning, late in the afternoon and I'M
til midnight and rest in the middle of
the day when the sun Is the hottest.
In this county where the ground is
level and free of stumps and rocks.
night harvesting when the moon is
bright may be carried On as well as in
the daytime, and with much less incon-
venlence to man and beast.
1t is not every season that the middle
OF harvest happens to be in the light OF
the moon, but this season was the
fortunate exception.
Next Saturday, 18th inst, will see
three fourths of the wheat crop in Bar
Der county harvested, all of the rye will
have been cut and the first cutting OF
alfalfa has been completed. The late
corn will get its last plowlng next
week and everybody will be ready t.
celebrate the Fourth of July with great
enthusiasm. No previous Fourth since
the county was settled, has ever found
the farmers with SO many causes Tor
rejoicing.

Accidentally Killed.

Thursday night, June 10Th, Dr. Kari
was called to the home of VIM Glenn
ents, ten miles southwest of Sun City,
in Deerhead township, to attend his
son, VIM. 5. Clements, aged II years
who had accidentally shot himself.
The young man and his 14-year-old
brother were out in the canyons look
ing for wolves, their weapon being a
shot gun loaded with buck-shot. VIM.
s. was leaning his left wrist on the
gun, the muzzle being pointed at his
body. His brother was tormenting
him, in play full way when VIM. S. at
tempted to kick him; but his foot hit
the gun hammer and discharged the
weapon. The load tore off his left
hand and wrist and entered his left
side below and in front of the twelfth
rib, tearing great hole into the cavity.
The victim lived five hours, until nine
O'Clock Thursday night, when he died.
He was conscious all of the time and
his statement of the occurrence was in
accordance with that made by his
brother. No inquest was held. De-
ceased was born at bolton, Kansas.
His father and family have lived here
several years.

Died Of HIS Injuries.

Monday morning, March oath, 1890,
ing at the Medicine Lodge Cement
Works, was caught under falling arch
in one of the bIick bake ovens, and so
great was the weight on his body that
his spinal column was injured beyond
recovery, the lower half of his body be-
ing completely paralyZed. He was ia
ken to his home, tive miles southwest
of town, and given every attention, sur
gical and otherwise, that could be COM
manded but he gradually grew weaker,
and died Sunday afternoon, at O'Clock,
June 22d. His body was greatly ema-
clated, and the flesh had nearly disap-
peared from the hips and legs. He had
been unconscious most of the time for
a week.
The body Wag buried Monday morn
ing, ut 10 O'Clock, Rev. Dr. Phillips. of

city, the funeral will be preached by
DR.. Phillips.

children to mourn his departure.
During his affliction the citizens of
this community were very kind to him
and his family. The proceeds of two
entertainments were given to them, and
private donations of food, clothing and
luxuries were frequent, and competent
nurses wefe provided for the unfortu-
nate. Drs. Karr ana Gillette were the
first surgeons to attend Mr.. Stevens,
the hour he was hurt; Dr. Moore then
took tho case in charge DR.. Kuder, of
Wichita, Was secared, as an expert, by
Mr.. Best; lately Dr.. Gould bad visited

HazeItOn Hannenlngs

The measles haze broken out in this vicinity.
Several families have cases the disease.
Wednesday, in company with J. c. Fullerton,
we drove up to the Lodge. We went across the
Cedar hills, and returned by way of Sharon.
This enabled us TO see q large number of farms.
From what we saw, wheat was probably two
thirds cut; oats generally. were still safe,
though there were few fields needing rain.
Corn was looking finely. except in few fields
where it had been poorly cultivated. We came
to the conclusion that Kansas was still all
right, and that Barber county farmers have
but little cause to complain of the season, so
far.
Wednesday night we had the best rain of the
season. There was about four inches of rain
fall and no wind.
G. B. Johpstan, president of the alliance at
this place since its organization, mas handed in
his resignation. and the vice-president. E. r.
German. now wields the gavel.
Mrs. JET. Conner was arrested, Friday, on
warrant sworn out by F. F. Severance, charg-
ing her with selling and disposing of some
fencing and buildings belonging to the Bank
of Hazelton. She acknowledged seIline the
stuff, but claimed that she had the right, as it
was improvements she had put upon the farm.
The matter was compromised hE Mrs. Conner
returning the property and paying costs, 1886.
1t begins to look as though some one is gong
to have trouble yet over this plan OF stripping
farm of all improvements. as great many
have been doing. Forbearance will cease to
be a virtue, by and by.
Another grocery store will open up in few

We were present. the ether day, when three
republican farmers were talking little tariff
and one OF them remarked that If the people
had another chance at the tariff, there would
oe big difference in the vote now and what ID
was in 1858. He is q man who will do as he
says, regardless OF the party lash. Cfeyeland's
famous tariff message of 1887 is still bearing
fruit. and the haryes to be gathered in 1892 viii

Mr.. MacGonigle presented new poor

provides that the Chief of the Department of
Charities shall advertise in the official

city of tract of ground fronting upon
a navigable river in the county
of Allegheny, having railroad facilities for
ready access; the proposals shall be received
by the Controller and transmitted to the
Chief of the Department of Charities; the
Chief of the Department of Charities shall
open the proposals in the presence of the
Chiefs Of the Departments of Public Works
and Public Safety and the Mayor, or ma
iority of them; these officials shall visit all
the tracts offered and either reject all the
proposals or select such one as may be
deemed by majority of them suitable for
poor farm; the choice shall not be-
come binding on the city until the Chief of
the Department of Charities shall report the
same to Councils and Council shall have
power to reject the site selected; in case of
