In looking over the report of the
Kansas state board Of agriculture we
see that Barton county stands second
in the amount of wheat produced in
1888, while she stands fourth in num-
Der OF acres produced. This shows
that the average yield of wheat per
acre in Barton county was better than
that Of other counties in the state. The
acreage and yield in Barton county
was s2,755 acres with yield of 2,067-
636 bushels. Sumner county Is first in
amount of production, having 81, 44S
acres with yield of 2 1907 $50 bushels.
1t will be seen by this that Barton
county ranks way up on wheat raising,
and, according to the present indi-
cations, she will this year excel all
previous records.

Organize

VIH0n4Aos
The Hutchinson World and Florence
Bulletin presented some very sensible
and pertinent arguments last week in
favor of organizing and holding q con-
vention Of all the democratic editors in
this state and naming Hutchinson as
the place for the first convention. This
we heartily endorse. The democratic
press has q great work before it and to
work successfully. We must act in uni
son, and to do this we must organize.
Let us all meet in convention and dis
cuss the ways and modes of working
that We may trumpet the glorious prin-
ciples of democracy broadcast through
out the land that an abundent harvest
will crown our efforts.--Ellinwood
Advocate.
The DEMOCRAT can be counted in
favor of that plan, and will be glad to
meet its co-laborers in the good work.
The '.power,' Of the press can be great
~ increased by oiiing its journals with
free Interchange OF opinion, and adj
justing its belts 50 that all runs smoothly
without friction or webbing. Let as

The smiling countenance Of our
farmer friend, G. Piller, last week was
caused by the arrival of q brand new
girl at his house.

plumber that drew the sewing machine
at v. s. Musil's. He held no SO, which

A hog of enormous size, was brought

weight was something over TOO lbs.
We see that the Central Normal
College has now an attendance of
about two hundred students. We are

DR.. Balfour left for Morril, Brown
county, Kansas, Monday evening where
he will make his, future home. DR..
BaIfour has made many friends who
are all sorry to see him leave.
This week the Commercial hotel
changed ownership, c. L. Grow trans
fering same to w. A. FEEDER, in ex-
change for the dwelling house and lot
of Mr.. Feder's, north Of the Catholic
church in this city. The consideration
for the hotel was 81, 800, dwelling q, 900.
No change will be made in the hotel at
present, excepting somewhat refitting
and improving it.
". 5. Musil and Mayor Dick were
the men to manufacture the first cream
cry butter turned out of the factory at
this place and Messrs PETE & Shuttle
made the first shipment to Denver. We
were handed a sample of it by Mr..
Musil and we cannot help but pro-
nounce it first-claSs, An expert is now
here to make the butter and if he
succeeds in turning out as good an
article as our two townsmen did last
week, the creamery must undoubtedly
be a success.
Two weeks ago this paper contained
little squib concerning County Clerk
d. R. Jones. Various papers in this
county saw it to comment on it, trying
to place tbs facts in a different light
than was meant by the writsr-eur self.
These parties who have done this are
either so ignorant that they could not
get the drift of the joke, (as it was
intended for joke, which is well
known) or they did it maliciously. We
are inclined to think that it was the
litter, but with this, will let the matter
dyop.

WHAT a study of human nature
could be seen in the court room last
Saturday! Youth land beauty, old age
apd pgliness, poverty and riches, silks
satins and rags-all packed together in
one homogeneous mass of humanity.
In the sea Of faces could be seen zeal
GUS enthusiasm, morbid cOuriOsity,
glowering hatred, religious resignation,
bitter vindictiyeness, prudish con-
seriousness. uneasy anxiety and restless
uncertainty. Is it good that our people
should be thus stirred up? Will Ladies
come out of such gathering with an
inward consciousness that they have
accomplished good?

PDoPLE are talking of a atwo-cent
passenger rate on Kansas railroads, as
one Of the things to be brought about in
the near future. Kansas people don't
want a reduction in passenger rates
half as much as they want a reduction
in freight rates. They are not at all
inclined to travel--Kansas is good
enough to stay in, yet q while; but
they do object to putting mp money to
build the railroads, furnishing the
ground to build them on, and then
sending legislators to Topeka to make

From the Leader.
Our streets have been lined this
week almost continually with teams
bringing in wheat and corn.
The largest number of people gath
cred at the M. e. church last Sunday
night that has ever entered it's doors
at any one time.
Mr.. Henry Cleveland and wife are on
their way home from California. Their
son-in-law Mr.. Chas. Gates, and little
baby will return with them.
Frank Galbreath is down sick with
pneumonia. The doctor says he is in
for six weeks siege of it. He is not
in any immediate danger if care is
taken.
The power of God has done wonder
full things in Pawnee Rock within the
past few weeks. While we have never
had a genuine joint nor even sus-
picion of one in our town, our drug
gist has kept bitters. which they say
"kills at forty rods'' for sale and it has
been delt out at lavish hand. Hard
cider has been sold pretty freely also.
On Tuesday our druggist took every
bottle of bitters that he had in stock
and threw it in the alley, effectually
destroying them and has solemonly
vowed that no more shall enter that
store as long as he is its owner. Good
order has prevailed on our. streets for
quite a while and we believe the day is
not very far distant when that nest of
vileness, the gambling dens that have
enfested our town for so long, will be
delt with just as the bitters have been
delt with. For once Pawnee Rock peo-
pie have wakened up to the full
knowledge and understanding as to
whore they stood and to where they
were being led. They have awakened
to full sense of the duty and burden
that has rested upon them so long.
They have girded on their armour and
with God helping US are pushing the
we'll begun work on to q final and
lasting victory.
