Goodland's Reputation.

Goodland is maintaining its reputation
as factional community. The politica,
battles are fought with the view of crush.
ing the enemy or rewarding a friend. Rule
was elected treasurer two years ago and
was unlawfully kept from his office by
the combined efforts of few individuals
who took upon themselves the task of
running things to suit their own ends.
Rule was re elected last fall. but the COM
blne did not quietly submit Tuesday the
commissioners decided to bounce Rule
and appointed an investigating commit
tee who made brief examination and
reported direful state OF affairs Rule
was thereupon bounced. Tha, night the
citizens held an indignation meeting,
fired the auditing committee appointed
by the commissioners. appointed one of
their own and re -instated Rule Threats
and counter ahreats We're made and the
fun goes merrily on Goodland and Sher-
man county will be sold some day to sat
isfy the costs of suits springing from fac
tional fights Burlington Blade.

Honest Dealine
The Reservation.

1t is very certain that disposition of
the land embraced within the Hays Mill
tary Reservation might be made that
would benefit Hays more than turning it
into Soldiers Home Some persons
talk ns if this Reservation was the inher-
itance of our people here in some way,
and should be disposed of IN a way to
suit our sitiZens and for their best interest
and under their direction. There is no
sense in such view of this case. If the
Reservation is to be passed over for the
benifit of our old soldiers, let fair and
reasonable view be taken. 1t does seem
that the last Military Reservation now
remaining undisposed of should in justice
be at once turned over for this noble en-
terprise.
If Congress means in good faith to set
apart this land for the purpose mention
ed let the entire tract be passed to the
state at once If acres be allowed to a
soldiers family for home, 1t is not ask
ing too much that the Government donate
that amornt. Suppose it is to be worth
$3.50 per acre like other Government
lands only $3.50 to soldiers family
would be given. As the state assumes
all the cost and expense of making the
Home project a success every acre of the
entire Reservation should go to the State.

Loans to Farmers.

Senator Cullom has introduced bill
in the United States senate which pro-
vides that the government shall loan
money on land at 2 per cent. interest.
The bill was introduced at the request of
q grange in the central part of this state
and will probably never be heard f;om
again 1t is not bill that commends it
self to the popular judgment. The gov
ernment ought not to be in the loaning
business at all. While it is as legitimate
for it to loan to private individuals as to
banks, it should loan to neither. 1t is not
consistent with our ideas of government
that it should gather money by taxation
10 invest in real estate or other property,
and it is liable to do that if it opens a
real estate agency. The government
should pay its debts and spend its in
come in needed public improvements.
or reduce its income to its necessities.
For the present, there are calls enough

Alliance Purposes.

AT the request of many of our farmer
readers We gladly state the aims and pur.
poses of the Farmers Alliance now
growing in favor so rapidly throughout
the state:
Profoundly impressed that we. the
Farmers Alliance. united by the strong
and faithful ties of financial and home
interests. should set forth our declara-
tion of intentions; we therefore resolve:
1. To labor for the education of the
agricultural classes in the science of
economical government in strictly non

2 To endorse the motto. I'm things
essential, unity; in all things charity
3 To develop a better state mentally
morally, socially and financially.
4. To create a better understanding
for sustaining civil officers in maintain
ing law and order.
s. To constantly strive to secure en-
tire harmony and good will among all
mankind, and brotherly love among our
selves.
6. To suppress personal, local sec
tiOnal and national prejudices, all un-
healthy rivalry and selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which it gar
ners are the tears of widows and or
phans; and its imperative commands are
to visit the homes where lacerated hearts
are bleeding; to assuage the sufferings
of brother or sister; bury the dead; care
for the widows and educate the orphans;
to construe words and deeds in their
most favorable light; granting honesty of
purpose and good intentions to others,
and to protect the principles of the Al
lance unto DEATH Its laws are reason
and equity Its cardinal doctrines inspire
purity of thought and life; its intention
is, Peace on Earth and Good Will to-
ward Men"

The Grand jury.
The case Of Dr.. G. 6. Roberts, charged
with practicing dentistry Illegally,
which was postponed from Tuesday af-
ternoon, was heard yesterday az A. 40
o'clock. The Office was crowded at the
time appointed for the trial, and many
prominent dentists were present. Drs.
+. Il. Jones, c. r. Jefferis and Horace
Belts represented the State Board Of
Dental Examiners.
DIR. Jones testified to having called on
Drs. Roberts and Woodward at the Clay
ton House in company with DR.. Belts,
and Informing them Of the state law con.
cerning the practice of dentistry. DR.
Woodward was examined and given q
certificate. In reply to question by Mr.
Emmons DR.. Jones replied that anybody
would think DR.. Roberts was practising
dentistry, when he displayed signs and
issued cards like "Dr. Roberts Off ce" or
''Drs. Roberts and Woodward, DEN
lists.
Miss May Appleby and John Pierson
testified to having teeth extracted by DIR.
Woodward, in the presence of DIR. Rob-
erts, who did nothing. John NJ Whit
ford, business manager OF Every Evening,
testified that DR.. Roberts advertised in
that paper, and that DR.. Woodward had
give him recommendation from promi-
nent citizen of Trenton.
DR.. Horace Belts corroborated Dr.
Jones's testimony. and said that DIR.
Roberts remarked, II pull larger teeth
than you ever examine" Mr.. Emmons
stated that the doctor meant horse teeth.
DR.. Frederick g. Woodward then testi-
fed that he was employed by DR.. Este
brook. who invented the anasthetic, to
introduce it. DR.. Roberts, who has
travelled all over the country as a vet
erinary dentist, was employeds.as q mana
ger and advertising agent.
Squire Bertolette said the law was for
the protection of the public. DR.. Roberts
advertisements were liable to mislead,
although the evidence showed that he
had never pulled any teeth. Whether
the law had been violated was a question
for the grand jury to decide. He held
DR.. Roberts in $500 bail for court. The
doctor gave bail and was released He
and Dr. Woodward left for Trenton last
evening, where the former will resume
the practice of horse dentistry and the
latter of human dentistry
