so, something should be done at once.

slider that the meeting will be worth

Our neighbor, the Cresset, had a very
creditable write-up and business review
of Medicine Lodge and Barber county
in it's issue of January I'd; also lot of
interviews with prominent business
men and farmers of the county. That
one paper contained more genuine free
advertising for Barber county than has
appeared i'll all the schemes worked on
our people 10y alleged representatives of
daily papers III the past, and yet 1t is q
question if the effort of the Cresset will
be appreciated. Anything done for the
town or county by home people is accep-
ted as matter of course, while slick
talker can come in and gull the people
into paying for anything. The local pa
pers are always booming the town
tifty-two weeks in the year. They
should be encouraged.

nundred and fifty mares and nlhes. all of which
are blood-like in appearance. and their pro-
duce from the Rosewood stations will. no
doubt, perform an important duty in framing
the fut1re history Of this noted farm.
Rosewood is not only the home of three stall
lions of the choicest breeding, but has in the
harem many queenly matrons and young fillies
whose extremely fashionable breeding renders
them fit specimens for the most aristoeratic
circles of equine society. In this list we might
mention Dauntless Bess. ,2:21z, by Old Doc;
first dam by Postboy; second dam the dam of
Jennie Holton, 2:22 by Billy Backus; third dam
by Night Hawk.
Leta Howe, four-year-old record 2:32k, by
Balaklava 1853, three-year-old record 1884. by
Onward; first dam Leila s., record $751; by
Sweepstakes 29S, son of Hambletonian 10; Sec
ond dam Sylvia by Martins Silverheels, son of
Hills Black Hawk; third dam Nellie by Fow-
ler's Uwharri; fourth dam Dollie, by Greene's
Post Boy; fifth dam by Tpton's Sir Archie.
Leta Howe is handsome bay mare. bred by
J. o. Balfour, Augusta. Ill, and was foaled in
1885. She made record of 2:45s as a two
year-old, $40 as a three-year-old, and could
trot in 2:25 as a four-year-old. She finished
first the second heat of her race at Kansas
City, in 2 81, but was set back for break (by
which she lost six lengths) and the heat was
given to the second horse in 22S. She should
to-day have record of 2:27, but we expect to
see her trot in 2:20 in 1890.
Symbol, by Onward, 2:25k; first dam by
Strathmore; second dam by Alexanders Abb
dailah; third dam by Clark Chief; is a beauti-
full, racy-looking mare, in foal to Campbelrs

ton, son OF Boston.
Gaiety. by Onward; first dam Diana by Chal-
lenger; second dam Flushing Girl by Scott's
Thomas, 2:2l; third dam Lady Barnes by Hia-
watha. and so on to to the eighth dam, thor

fsur-year-old record 2:29. In foal to Anteros.
Sunshine full sister to Tempest, 2:I9) by
Hawthorn son of Nutwood.
The above specimens are sufficient to show
the class of mares in use at Rosewood. In ev-
cry case soundness is required and speed must
be shown in order for brood mare to become
a member Of the Rosewood harem. Mr.. Camp
bell is a man with no hobbies in breeding, but
one who recognizes merit wherever it exists.
In 1890 he will breed mares to STEAMBOAT. Cy-
clone, and other sires, whose blood he deems of
value in the production of the trotter.

Prof. BIake's Predictions,

Relying on the predictions
of Prof. Blake that this would
be a severe winter, we stock
ed up on heavy clothing,
boots, shoes, and other winter
goods. Now we ares'stuck, :"
for there has been NO winter,
and no demand for our heavy
goods. We can't keep them,
so now we make this offer !:
Find out what you can buy
for at any house in this town
and then come to us and we
will make a 10 per cent. cut
under that price. This holds
good in clothing, boots and
shoes and all other winter
goods. Respectfully,

that the committee on programme con.
tinue the same In the next programme.

The Commissioners.

Monday being the regular day for the
quarterly meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, when the hour for
assembling arrived it was found that
five commissioners were present, each
claiming the right to seats. The law
only allows three commissioners in the
most prosperous times; SO, evidently
there were two commissioners too many.
The question was: Was J, B. Cool, of
the first district, entitled to take his
seat at once, he having been elected to
fill vacancy Occasioned by the resigna-
ton of w W. Standiford; and, second,
was there a vacancy in the third dis
trict, j. ID. Fleming having moved from
that district to the first. and If there
was vacancy, was it filled by election
of u. j.. Pierce? After discussing
the matter up one side and down the
other, getting the opinion of County
Attorney Cameron aud listening to the
ideas of Attorneys Jones and Sample.
it was decided that Mr.. Cool was full
fledged commissioner, having been e,cc""-
ted to fill vacancy. Mr. Youmans was
appointed to temporarily ill the vacan-
cy occasloned by the resignation of Mr..
Standiford. Mr.. Youmans gracefully
retired and Mr.. Cool took his place. 1t
was further decided that Mr.. Fleming
was entitled to his seat until next Mon
day, Capt. Pierce having been elected
for full term and not to fill vacancy.
So Capt, Pierce retired and Mr.. Flem-
ing resumed his seat. The board as
now composed, Fleming. Stranathan
and Cool, then proceeded 10 the regular
work of the January meeting. Next
Monday, Mr.. Fleming will step ont and
Capt. Pierce will step in. So peace and
harmony prevails.

Sugar works Figures.

Since the sorghum sugar season clos
ed, there have been so many mis-state-
ments as to what the financial result
was, that the INDEX determined to
learn the exact status of the business
at Medicine Lodge, and TO that end ap-
piled to e. l. Human, secretary and
manager of the Medicine Lodge Sugar
Works and Refining Company for cor
rect information. His answer appears
below in full. From it it will be seen
that up to December 3Oth, the works al
this place made a profit of S13, S2l %
and this exclusive of the profits on
''second" sugar, which IS now being
thrown out. This second" sugar is
obtained from the syrup by running il
through the centrlfugals second time.
Mr.. Hinman announces that the COM
pany will experiment in running the
syrup through the third time.
The financial sue cess is greater than
the most enthusiastic had anticipated,
and it is complete REPUTATION of the
frequently repeated assertion that the
sorghum sugar industry is not a sue
cess, or that it was ''still-born" in
Southern Kansas. There was, no doubt,
in Kansas last season ; designing and
