Official pspmF. till

We have been notified that, at a
meeting of the Farmers and LaboreIs
Union (Alliance) at Hoisington on the
LIST inst, the DEMOCRAT was almost
unanimously chosen as the 'sOficiaI
organ of the Farmers and Laborers'
Union. of Barton county"
What is meant by ''offcial organ," is
that it was selected as the best medium
through which all matters necessary to
be published in connection with the
business of the union could be brought
to the attention of the members thereof.
We have already large number of
the union men upon our subscription
list, and the friendliness shown the
farmers movement by this paper in the
past was a guarantee that it was in
sympathy with the farmer, the hope
of our land and the foundation of ouI
states prosperity.
We thank the gentlemen for the
compliment paid the DEMOCRAT in
their preference thus shown, and hope
the paper may ever merit such recog.
milton. The organization of farmers
being wholly non-partisan, politics had
no weight in tue matter, and the
simple merits of tie paper AS new:
paper were alone considered.

Charges Unfounded.

Notice is hereby given to the mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance, that a
committee appointed by the Liberty
Alliance has made thorough investiga-
ton to ascertain the truth of the charge
against Brothers o. A. Smith and S. C.
Seeber, charging them of being bribed
by Messrs Bishop s. Co., Of Great Bend
to use their influence among the mem.
bers to get them to trade at his store
and that said committee has been un-
able to locate the source of the report,
and that the Liberty Alliance do hereby
exonerate said Brothers from said
charge, and that we do believe them to
be honest, upright, and honorable
gentlemen.

Ellinweod's Creamery.

Monday of this week the writer, ac-
companied by his wife, drove down to
EIlinwo to see the opening of the
new creamery and cheese factory
there. We found a large, substantial
and commodious factory building, sit
uated south of town near the Arkan-
saw bridge, and fitted up with the
most improved machinery for the con-
verting of milk into butter and cheese.
In the forenoon the machinery was
started up and We are told worked
nicely. There had been, however,
some error in the adjustment of pulleys
SO that sufficient rate of speed could
not be obtained on the centrifugal
the machine which separates the cream
from the milk-to give entire satisfac-
ton. This defect will be soon RENE
died, and we opine that the factory
will soon he running to the entire sat
isfaction and profit of its patrons and
stock holders.
The creamery is located in the
midst of one of the most prosperous
farming communities in Barton county
and we have no fear but what the
gentlemen having it in charge will
make it successful enterprise. They
are not expecting too great results
from it ON the start, but believe il
will take time to give and obtain 6
thorough knowledge of its successful
operation,

Some persons are making a noun
tain out of mole hill of a joke made
at the expense of County Clerk Jones.
In mentioning his new livery stable
one of the county papers referred to
the campaign canard concerning bis
alleged business as a 'jointist," and
bis enemies have eagerly snapped up
the item and enlarged upon it, until
the original writer of the squih,
which was harmless in itself, would
not now recognize it. Mr.. Jones is
not in the Joint" business, never has
been and never will be; but he Is in
the livery business with his son, and
will be glad to be of service in that
line to friends and foes alike. (Hois-
ington Dispatch please copy.)

who is an ardent protectionist, as a
man of good judgement and honest
principles, though mistaken ideas, and
vice versa. A greenbacker may differ
from his neighbor on the monetary
system, though he respects him as a
man. A prohibitionist, however, looks
upon an i-prohibitionist as sneak,
a drunkard and being entirely un-
worthy of belief or social tolerance.
That is why so many men who are
opposed to the law refrain from giving

A petition is being circulated and
largely signed by the farmers who
haul to Great Bend, asking the
council of Great Bend to establish
city scales and furnish city weigh
master. If the farmers want city
scales and will patronize them it
would be doubtless a sensible thing
for the city to put in scales, as the
revenue from them would much more
than pay the expense of handling
them.

Wounds Dressed With saw-Dust.

The use of fine saw-dust as dressing
for wounds and as vehicle for medica-
ments or antiseptics is suggested. 1t is
said that the dust, freed from splinters
and sharp bits of wood by sitting, when
used alone and dry, makes clean and
grateful dressing; that it readily takes
up and holds the discharges without
packing or adhering. and that it is easily
rendered antiseptic by any of the meth
DDS used in preparing antiseptic cotton
Or wool. A well-known medical author
ity also suggests that our yellow pine
saw-dust, rich as it is in turpentine,
would prove of itself a valuable antisep.
