Our old time friend, Fred S.
IIewes, Clerk of the Courts Of ltarri-
son county, was at the Courthouse
Wednesday. We were surprised to
see him looking so young and spry,
as II is well known that Fred is way
up in the eighties. But old aye is hon
orablc they say, and his age has moth
ing to co with his beng II of the
best clerks in the State, and one of the
tTuest and best men.
Mr.. II. f. Russell, our agent at
Ocean Springs, gave us an apprecia-
ted call Wednesday. lie is not only
a live and energetic agent for the
DEMocRAT-STAR, but he has made a
very good foreman of the grand jury
at this term OF the Circuit Court.
Russell is a true Democrat and works
in season aud out of season for the
success of the Democratic party. lie
can always be relied upon at every
election in the county when the DEM
ocratlc party calls for active work.
Mr.. VIM. A. lIensleo. who has
been connected with tic mechanical
department CT the 'DEMocRAT-STAR
for many years, left for parts un-
known last week. For some time he
has been SO dissipated that we could
not rely OH him as a regular hand,
and ii was Il intention 10 discharge
him and let him take the road as a
regular tramp printer" He took
time by the forelock, however, AID
left us without a moments warning,
but his going did not in the least dis
cOmOde or interfere with the work
in our office. Tic has written TO a
friend here, dating his letter at Biloxi,
that he was going to New Or
leans. lie said that lie was almost
ruined, but was never gong to drink
any more, and that just as soon as he
could he would pay the many debts
he left behind. We hope he will do
wha; he says, but we doubt it,

Good bye. Jim.

The democracy of this district, in
convention assembled, decided to place
no candidate ofor congress in the field
this year. 0That action. we believe will
be endorsed generally by the democrats
of Sumner county.
The fight will be between Prince
Hail." of Wichita, and Farmer Jerry
Simpson, of Medicine Lodge. AS this
is eminently farners' year the chances
are favorable for Hallowell's defeat.
The democrats OF this district can
vote for either of the men in the field or
siBon the fence and witness the republi
can-alliance fight, as they Individually
elect.
"A vote for Hallowell is vote against
every principle embodie6 in democratic
platforms. A vote for Jerry Simpson
is a vote against every measure advo-
Gated by the republican party.
Study the situation and cast your bal
lot where it will count.-Wellingtor
Standard.

The Cheyenne Lake Project.

Under the above heading the follow
ing letter from A. J. iHoisington was
published in last weeks Uoisington
Dispatch:
81 observe in your last paper an
article about making the Cheyenne
bottoms permanent lake by draining
a portion of the waters of the Arkansas
river into the bottoms. While it is
probable that those living at Great
Bend and points below, on the river,
would object, it seems true that all
farmers within many miles north, south,
east and west would be greatly bene-
flied by establishing large inland lake
such as the Cheyenne bottoms would
be if a reas onab'e volume of water was
let into it, Not only is Garden City,
Kansas, immensely benefited by her
bitches or irrigation canals in that the
air is saturated by increased moisture
all around for many miles but the vol
ume of water in her canals and the
general increased moisture has unques-
tionably increased the rainfall in that
vicinity, SO that not one-half Of the
canal water is needed now to- produce
good crops as was needed five years ago.
Every portion of Barton county IS
deeply interested in securing an addl-
tional rainfall and moisture. In wet
years the gently rolling surface of the
land is an insurance against too much
rain and in dry years the large Chey-
enne lake would afford the necessary
moisture to mature excellent crops.
"There is another usefulness to
which, by proper Developments, the
Cheyenne bottoms may be used.
Undoubtedly by boring to the proper
depth mineral in the way of coal, gas,
or other substance will be discovered.
1t would seem that salt may be had at
reasonable depth according to the sur
face indications. A little adventurous
capital used on or in Cheyenne bottoms
will develope something of profit to both
Barton county and the owpers of the
| adventurous wealth.
The writer of the above letter knows
whereof he speaks. He has large
property interests in and about Garden
City, and also in this county, and
would not advocate thing that would
| be detrlment to his Interests. Tie
making of great inland lake on the
Cheyenne bottoms Would meet with the
approval of all persons who have the
general good of the country at heart
and should all work to bring it about
When shall we have a public meet
ing to place thee movement properly
under eay? Some one make sugges
tiOn-evolve plan.

'sThe democratic convention at Pratt
on Tuesday got into squabble and
after a red hot debate over a resolution
thatsthey Deemed it inexpedient to
nominate a candidate for congress. !"
three cheers were given for Hallowell
and large number of the delegates
left the hall. ."-Register.
The above is one of the most bare
faced and groundless lies the Register
has ever published, and it has pub
lished quite sprinkling of late. The
democrats at Pratt got into a lively
debate on the question of whether Or
not it would be expedient to put can
didate in the field for congress this
Year, and decided by a good majority
to not nominate. Some of the delegates
who, all through the convention showed
that they were bent on doing all they
could to put candidate in the field
and thus help Hallowell by drawing
democratic votes away from Simpson,
so far forgot their honor and their
democracy that, when Wichita coal
oil inspector, an appointee of Hallowell, !,
gotSin among them and jumping on a
chair offered three cheers for Hallowell, !,
they, to the number of at least six,
joined in the yell, as did, of course, all
thesrepublicans present. When sober
and honest democrats counseled mod
Grafton and sensible action the dele
gates went on with the selection of a
central committee and adjourned in
due form.
The Register follows the above quoted
paragraph with the Hutchinson Neacs
libelous report of the convention, and
the talk of Che fellow Denton who had
no other object in the convention than
to abuse Simpson because Simpson
downed him in some petty local fight
in Barber county.
