IA gentleman was here this week
buying wheat for the Harper mill. He
paid 81 cents for the best grades. The
alliance fellows shipped in car of fence
posts, and there were some mild pro-
tests against the quality of the goods.
We are informed that they cost about
cents apiece, but our information is not
official. E. F. ID. Taylor shipped nine
head of fat steers to Wichita that aver
aged LBS pounds. He realized for the
whole lot, SOFIA, or S746O per head.
The two best ones in the lot weighed
oyer AGO, and one two-year-old steer
weighed over 800. Where is another
nine head that can beat the above fig
ures. Over year ago Thos Collins
had about twenty cans of peaches stolen
from his cellar, in town, while the fam
lily was out at the farm The secret has
just leaked out as to who the thief is.
1t is hard to keep secret and use bad
whisky too. 1t may turn out cheaper
to buy than to steal. Oscar Haberline
has about completed his work of assess
ing HaZelton township. He thinks the
valuation will be about the same AS If
was last year. :. e. II. Smith sold r. d.
Breakey 100 acres of land lying S miles
southwest of Hazelton for a consiuera-
ton OF $1,000, w. F. Stephenson
bought 100 acres Of land half mile west
OF the mills for $500. The alliance
have decided to only meet every two
weeks. consequently there was no meet
ing last Saturday. If w. w. Fain has
luck with the colts he Is breaking, he
will have one of the finest matched
teams in the country by fall. VIC, A.

Even Tom. Osborne, the ex-governor
of KaaGas, as strong and unfair a re-
publican partisan as Reformer Strana-
than and Reformer Cool. has learned
that there is something wrong in Kan
sas, and in recent interview on the
subject of tariff, in the New York Press,
says: "TheTe is going TO be trouble I'M
less Kansas is looked after. We have
been rolling up republican majorities
by pressing home OH farmers the old
time doctrine of Horace Greeley that
protection would build up factories at
our doors. and furnish market for the
sale of our products. Unless some
thing is done to show Kansas people
that protection, as practiced by the re-
publican party, works out that result,
we shall have trouble. We want the
duty on hides, SO that We can show
these farmers that we are doing some
thing for them. Then, too, about the
only manufacturing industry of any
size that has been built up in our Sec
ton is the smelling works that require
Mexican lead ore for iuxing purposes,
and that it is proposed to tax and shut
of from us. We cannot any longer fur
njsh the big republican majorities, and
let the manufacturers down east, who
are rich, get all the benefits, while we
have nothing but mortgages TO SHOW
for it. This thing has got to have mn
tual advantages, or IL cannot go on
Kansas, with her unbroken republican
delegation OF seven in congress is al
least going to have something to say
about it."

County Matters.

In addition to the other matters at
tended to by the county commissioners,
at their meeting last week, published in
the INDEX, the following proceedings
were had:
Thos. Hutchins resigned as janitor OF
the courthouse, and the building was
placed i'll the charge of the sheriff with
instructions to have it cleaned up.
There has been much complaint from
the officers.
The register of deeds was authorized
to make an index to the miscellaneous
records of the county. The job will
cost about $50.
Tie commissioners paid Mrs. Swank
$50 for the right-Of-way, 100 teet wide,
through eight acres of land south of the
Elm Creek bridge, at the foot of Main
street.
New mating was ordered for the dis
trict clerks Office and the courthouse
stairway,
Chase & Allen were given the contract
for putting water pipe, hydrants and
hose in the courthouse. There will be
water on every floor and in the jail,
soon.
DR.. II. G.. Gould was appointed coun-
~ physician for the year ending April
30, 1891, at salary of 1915. He will
have jurisdiction over the entire county
and trustees must hereafter send for
him tO oaro for. cioE nouDoro II 10 m
derstoOd that list of all persons that
he attends will be published.
The Ruffing road, half mile long, q
miles south, running east and west
through the Gabriel Garrison land, was
| allowed.
Plats were ordered of the new survey
of townships 80, 33 and "a, ranges 10
and II. This will, in measure, settle
the old question of lines in the eastern
part of the county.
The county printing for the ensuing
year, ending with the meeting of the
board in April, 1891, was given to L.. NJ
Axline, publisher of the Medicine Lodge
Cresset, at the following prices: For
all legal notices paid for by the square,
at One-twentieth of one per cent. of le-
gal rates. For job work of all kinds,
such as letterheads, statements and en-
velopes. % per cent. of the regular price
for job work charged by the two print
ing offices in Medicine Lodge. For
| blank work, % per cent. of Hall &
O'DOnald's prices as published in their
catalogue for 1890. For publishing the
land delinquent list and the treasurer 8
final tax notice, one cent per tract and
| one. half cent per lot. The law allows
p cents per tract and 10 cents per lot.
The manner of letting this contract is
fully explained in another part of this
paper.
The county officers who had drawn
salaries in excess of the amount allow
ed by law, did not put in any bills, SC
far as the INDEX could learn. 1t is
understood that they are waiting to see
the returns of the new census, now be-
ing taken by township assessors.
The board entered into some kind OF
an arrangement With the Citizens Nat
ional bank, the present county depOsi
tory, by which it was released, Temporal
rily from that part of its contract re-
quiring it to pay par for county scrip
but subsequently the order was revoked
and both banks are now taking scrip al
par.
The commissioners sold the old wine
mill to Jerry Simpson, for SIP.
The board adjourned Saturday abou
noon.
It. will meet again in. June to equaliz,
taxes.

Kansas City went democratic, last
week, by 2,IOO. The truth is, the dem
ocrats had far the better ticket. The
Australian ballot system was used, and
worked well. A poll tax of $3.50 was
levied against every voter, and those
who voted were given receipts for the
debt, while those who did not vote will
have to pay in money. This scheme
brought ont the largest vote ever cast
in the city.
