-rhe Leading western xew,pap.,

The Kansas City Times has earned the above
title by always being in the foremost rank Of
the metropolitan western newspapers in ad-
vocating the interests OF the West. In the east
ern money centers the Times is looked upon
As the best reflector of the condition of the
West and this puts it in the position OF being the
best advocate the West can have. It has not
let its opportunities pass. but ON every occasion
has done all in its power toward the upbuilding
Of this great Western country. Among the prin.
cipal things 1t has advocated, some OF which
have been successful, are:
Opening of Oklahoma;
Opening Of the Cherokee Strip;
Irrigation for the arid regions;
Cheap transportation for Kansas
In this good work the Kansas City Times
solicits the support OF every Western man. Its
Daily Is the brightest and best edited in tho
West, and its Weekly, with its twelve large
pages, ranks with any weekly newspaper in the
world.
The Kdneds City Times was also the first to
inaugurate the system of fast trains out OF
Kansas City carrying the regular edition OF the
SUnd0y Times and distributing It over Kansas
two hundred miles west by eight o'clock a. M,
three hours before the regular train leaves Kan
IS City.

The Reqister last week contain,

The Register last week contained
quite tribute to A. j. Hoisington,
the founder Of that paper, but now IN
the publishing business at Kansas City.
Many of the good things said of Andy
Hoisington we can heartily endorse.
He is self, made man, and one who,
though antagonlstic to US in political
belief, we cannot help but admire.
He is progressive man, and one who
has hewn his own way to great sue
cess. He has many friends in Barton
county who always have good word
for him when he visits Great Bend.
He was in the city last week on bust
ness connected with the Register,
which he ia said to still have con-
trolling interest in.

to make pleasant the last moments Of

efforts that she was not buried in the
potters' field.

relief since his duties as commissioner
have ended. Mr.. Schwier was one of

the people placed their entire conf

would be managed judiciously while
he had Il hand in the running of
them.

PENALTY OF PoLITENESS.

Oao E1rae When Good Manners were Not
Their Own Reward.
Ex-Governor and Representative Nc
Cresry, Of Kentucky, Is noted for his po-
hteness. says the New York Tribune.
On one occasion he was the guest of q
friend in the country. When he sat
down to supper the lady of the house
asked him whether he wished coffee or
tea, The Governor replied:
Coffee, X you please, madam"
His fondness for hot coffee Is known
to his friends, who can we'll imagine his
feelings when tho hostess informed him
that the cook had neglected to warm the
coffee for supper and that it was cold.
Even this information Of tho cooks neg
lect did not Affect the Governors polite
ness, and with q smile he replied:
How fortunate, madam. Do you
know, madam, that am so eccentric as
to prefer cold coffee and do not care for
1t in any other way? Your cook 8 neglect
is good news to me-"
The relief Of the housekeeper can be
understood az she handed Governor Nc.
Creary the coffee, which he slipped with
well-feigned pleasure.
The weather the next day was cold
and bractng. It was just such q day rs
to make the heart of cofHee-drinker
long for his fAvorIte drink. Governor
McCreary had forgotten the incident Of
the night bcfore when no sat down to
breakfast. But If it had escaped his
memory 1t had not that Of his hostess.
II have the coffee cold for you this
morning, Governor" she said sweetly.
"YOu SEQ remember that you said you
never liked 1t In any other way"
The smile on Governor McCreary's
face was hardly as angelic as it was the
night before, nut he drank the cold oof-
fec without murmur. It was with diff
fculty, however, that the other guests
restrained their laughter over the I'M
fortunate predicament In which the
Governor had placed himself by his po-
likeness.

AN EFFECTIVE SPEECH.

How Old Wolf illustrated His RemarkO
with Great Enect.
: In talking last evening about Indians
and their native eloquence, Mr.. Fair
field said to Seattle (Nash.) Press re-
porter that he saw Old Wolf, the Chey-
enne chief, make an effective speech
with lead pencil during visit by
Bishop Brundel at Ashland, Mont. Old
Wolf took the pencil and drew straight
line and said:
"Cheyennes straight" 80
Then he drew another straight line
and said:
'Black robe straight" meaning the
Indian had nothing to say against the
Catholic missionaries.
Then third straight line was drawn
and Old Wolf said:
White House straight" By this he
did not mean the Executive mansion,
but the little white school conducted by
the Sisters of Charity, which was known
far and near among the Indians as the
white House."
Next a straight line was drawn part
way across the page, and from che end
he made number of very crooked lines,
so that the diagram looked like o cat o.
nine tails. This was explained by the
chief as:
washington straight, but all things
coming from Washington very crooked"
Then line was drawn straight part
OF the way, then crooked, then straight,
and so on across the page.
"lndian agent straight, crooked,
straight, crooked, straight, crooked"
was tho laconic explanation.
"CrOw fly round, round, round" was
tho sarcastic way he illustrated the char
acteristics Of the Crow Indians by q
series of loops across the page. But the
climax Of this speech was reached when
Old Wolf drew across the paper q very
crooked line and remarked with mani
fest contempt:
''Sioux crooked, always crooked

County Official Paper.
A Pestilence Feared.

The INDEPENDENT, some time since,
advised that the carcasses Of dead cat
tie be either burned or buried, in
order to prevent sickness which
would surely be engendered from
the effluvia which would arise from
the decaying bodies if they we're per-
mitted to remain on the surface. In
support Of this theory the Silver
State of yesterday says:
The railroad boys say there are
hundreds of dead cattle along the
Humboldt and the carcasses are ap-
parently piled up on each other in
the vicinity of Deeth, Elko county.
A stencil is already arising from
these masses of deoaying animal mat
ter and the effluvia will be intolerable
when the weather gets warmer. A
pestilence will prevail in some locali-
tirs unless the carcasses are burned
or buried.
