The INDEX has an actual circulation
of 9l2 copies a week. 1t has not print
ed less than 9l2 papers week for the
past seven months. We have had
more than one thousand subscribers
but as their time expires we have cut
them off We claim to have the lar
gest circulation of any paper in the
county. The above statement will be
sworn to if any one desires an affidavit.
The rain of last Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday was good for the wheat
and other crops, but it was rough on
poor cattle. Hundreds of cattle per-
ished in this county. We have heard
of three men who each lost exactly half
OF his cattle. One man owned fifty and
lost twenty-five; another owned sixteen
and lost eight; another owned fourteen
and lost seven.
We are glad to be able to announce
piece of good news this week. 1t is
now definitely settled that the gov
eminent station for the manufacture
of sugar by the alcohol process will be
located at Medicine Lodge. For long
while it was very doubtful where the
station would be located, and Mr.. G. l.
Hinman has been using every effort to
secure to it for our city, and now has
the satisfaction OF seeing his efforts
crowned with success. Wepredict that
all the sugar mills in Kansas will run
on the alcohol process next year.
The INDEX has interviewed our
grocery merchants on the probable
price Of sugar during the summer, and
they all agree that sugar will probably
be little cheaper than it has been.
To- day the tariff is removed from low
grades of sugar, but that sugar has to
go through the refinery before it is fit
for use, and the superstition is that the
refners will make big money, and the
consumers will get but small part of
the reduction. From one-fourth to
three fourths OF a cent pound is the
estimated reduction by our merchants.
Last week the INDEX called meet
ing FOR Friday night. to nominate city
ticket. On Friday afternoon we were
told by several reliable parties that
secret meeting had been held on Thurs
day, at the CresSet office, and that
ticket bad been agreed on; that it was
part of the plan of that meeting to
capture the meeting on Friday night,
and put their ticket through. We were
advised to let the Friday night meeting
drop. We went to the meeting, and as
soon as We entered the courthouse we
tfonnd that the crowd was there for the
purpose of putting through the cut and
dried ticket which HAD been nominated
the night before at the Cresset Office,
aud we retired from the room. A. L.
Noble was made chairman of the meet
ing, and we say it to his credit that we
do not believe ne will support the en-
tire ticket. T. l.. Lindley was nominal
ed for Mayor; A. ]. Jones, j. r. Mckay,
E. b. Peck, S. p. Coan and Ed. Win
ters were nominated for the council.
and r. NJ. Woodward for police Judge.
