Catholic services will be held Sept.

The family of Mr.. Sellers, the jewel
er, arrived here last Saturday. We are
glad to announce that he is improving.
The Kiowa Journal says the family
of F. Y. Ewing has gone to Nevada,
Mo-, to make their future home, and
that he will go as soon as his cattle are
gotten off the strip.
Mrs. j. F. Hall and five children, and
Mrs. ID. G. Hall and three children, are
here from PendletoD, Oregon, and are
stopping with j. z. Hall. Their hus-
bands are brothers of Mr.. Hall. They are
on their way here with lot of horses,
and will arrive next week. They will
make this their future home, and have
ranches already secured on Mule creek.
we welcome them to the best county
in the state.
Our new city marshal has hard row
to hoe. A few nights ago he arrested
a young man who was engaged in a
friendly scuffle with another young
man, and put him in Jail. Now there
is talk of the young mans father bring
ing suit for false Imprisonment OF his
sou. The young man, when arrested,
had in his pocket a pint bottle of
whisky. When turned out of jail he
demanded the whisky, and the marshal
refused to give it up. He brought a
replevin suit for the whisky, and yes
terday Sheriff Dobson took possession
of the bottle and it's contents. 1t was
give a redeliVery bond, and still hold on
to the bottle. We would advise both
parties to compromise their trouble.
For paper to call itself 1.-The reIig-
ious weekly" the weakly" religious
editor of the Cresset takes the cake.
He denounces men because they are not
Christians, and is himself not one. lie
thinks ingalls, the greatest man Kansas
ever produced, and yet ingalls, is the
meanest ScOffer in the state. Ingalls,
says: II have no doubt that in response
to the search for eternal truth, ANOTH-
Err Christ Will come, and another reye-
lation be made" How can the Cresset
endorse Mr.. Ingalls,, and then censure
anybody on account of his religious
views? Mr.. Simpson says the Unitar-
ian doctrine is nearer his idea than any
of the doctrines he has ever heard.
Unitarians are not atheists; and Meth
er would they thank you to call them
infdelS. But can the CreSSet consist
emily censure a professed infdel? How
and obeys not, than the man who be-
lieveS not? Is not his condemnation
the more certain?. 1t is not good taste
to perSiStently accuse a man of being
what he denies, unless you have the
proof to back up your statements.
Neither is it right to try to rob him of
his good standing at home or abroad.
MI. Simpson is farmer. The Cresset
knows it. He cultivated farm this
year, and raised as good crops as any
of his neighbOrS. Yet the Cresset cop
les squibs from other papers, without
comment, which deny that he is farm
err If this is religious" we want none
of it. They call him an anarchist, when
they have no reason tor so doing, and
after strong denial has been made.
Such journalism is not commendable, to
say the least.
So far as the INDEX is concerned we
are not fighting prohibition or re-sub-
mission. We believe it was poor poll
tics when the governor refused to hear
the re-submissionists. 1t was poor poll
tics on the part Of real prohibitionists
to have not submitted the question long
ago, and thus keep it out of politics. II
would then have been voted down, and
the law thus strengthened. The ALI
ance was right in saying that there were
number of far more important issues
before the people, and this question
might be reiegated to ohscurity for
awhile. Let us educate the people on
the tariff, silver and land questions this
year, and next year or some other time.
we will talk about re-submission.
The Cresset repeats the story for the
third time, after two denials, that 1.-The
trade was delayed by an effort to get
Mr.. Caruthers to accept the editorial
control, but that he refused to compro-
mise himself" An insult is evidently
intended for someDody. # it would
have compromised Mr.. Caruthers, the
inference is that the insult was aimed
at the present editor of the INDEX. But
| the Cresset taxes occasion to say that
| it did not intend to reflect on us. Then
the insult must be for the Alliance. We
claim that no man need lower his dig.
nifty to edit an Alliance newspaper. II
is working for the good of the farmer
and laboring classes. We claim that
the Cresset Is mistaken in its guesses:
that Mr.. Carqthers did not so inform
it; but that it has two propositions So
mixed that 1t don't understand either
One proposition was to the effect tha'
Caruthers & Musgrove were to keep thu
paper and turn it into an Alliance or.
gan; the All,anee IL furnish them 5G
-'-N subscribers. This was rejected
From that time on no DiopoSt'ioi
was entertained by the committee bn,
the one to buy out Mr. Caruthers, an6
leave the present editor in control. TIL,
