Barber county farmers do not boy
colt Neither do they have to buy goods
of their enemies, nor read abusive news
papers, nor listen to abusive speakers.
They have as good right to organize as
the Masons or Odd Fellows; they have
as good right to help each other and
their friends as these orders have. They
know a friend from a foe, and no
amount of bucking and threats will
scare them into surrender of their
rights.
Elder Nicholson went TO Wichita last
Thursday, and remained couple of
days. While there he concluded to go
around and see the inside workings of
the United States district court, which
is now in session. He found that about
fourteen hundred witnesses were pres
ent from Oklahoma, among the num-
Der being about two hundred, big,
greasy blanketed Indians. While he
was present, big lazy IndIan was put
in the witness box, and he leaned over
in lazy, careless way, with his head
hanging down and his eyes nearly
closed. The judge called to him sharp
ly: "Here, you fellow; sit up and an
swer questions" The Indian slowly
leered at the judge, and answered,
You go to HI, me sleepy" He was
sent to Jail to finish his nap.

took the train next morni ng for visit
east, and will return to their residence

best and most prosperous business men,
and the bride is one of our best known
and most popular young ladies. 1t is a
match with all the chances in favor of
its proving happy one. The INDEX
believes that both bride and groom can
be congratulated on the event, and 1t
wishes for them both an unusual de-
gree of happiness, usefulness and pros
perity.
The alliance piGpic, held last Tuesday,
seven miles northwest OF ohn City, was
an unusual success. There was large
crowd, plenty of good dinner, and an
OVERLOOKING abundance of enthusiasm.
Messrs Simpson, McKay and Hichox
were the speakers. and the audience
cheered themselves hoarse. At the
close of Mr.. simpsons speech he was
requested to have the crowd express
their political views. Mr.. simpson
then requested that all who intended
voting the alliance TICKET. from top to
bottom, stand up. The whole crowd.
with just one exception, jumped to
their feet, with cheer that surprised
everyone. The ladies threw up their
bonnets, and declared they also wanted
a chance to vote the alliance ticket.
1t was said TO be the most enthusiastic
crowd ever gathered in that section.
Some families came 80 miles, in covered
wagons, and camped there the night be-
fore. A barbecued beef was eaten il
no time, but the hundreds of loaded
baskets were equal to ths emergency
and all were fed.
