1891, at his home in this city, ROBERT
BAYER, aged 40 years, 3 months and
ri days.
Mr.. Bayer had been sick for long
time. but having a strong constitution
it was thought by all that he would

In fact he had gained sufficiently to
be out on on the streets a couple of
days before his death. On Thursday,
however, he was taken with conges-
ton of the brain. and in short time
passed away. He was one of the old
est settlers in this county, having lived
either in the city or on farm since
1877. He vas man of strong likes
and dislikes, and though having but
one arm. he managed to support his
family in good shape. He leaves a
wife and only son, Joe. who have the
deep sympathy of the people of the
entire county.
Funeral services were held at the
Catholic church in Great Bend on
Monday, the 26th. and a very impress
i've sermon delivered by Father Kel>
ley. The remains were inferred in
the cemetery west of town.

Practical Results of the Sub-Treasury

Practical Results of the Sub Treasury.
Can a speculator put cotton in the
sub-treasury?
A speculator can deposit cotton in the
sub treasury.
How many bales can be deposited in
the sub-treasury?
If he has 8, 900, 900 bales he can de.
post the entire crop valued at 5000,
900, 900.
How can spectators do this?
Say every fourth or tenth county had
warehouse. Spectators with 500, 900
buy cotton, send it to the warehouse,
draw $50, 900, buy again, send it to the
warehouse and draw S64, 900. Then
buy again and send that to the ware
house and draw $4,000 buy again,
deposit and draw money and so on until
500, 900 would corner $500, 900 worth
of cotton. Margins would not
bother him and he could hold so long
as he paid interest, insurance and ware
house dues. In this way spectators
could corner and control 5000, 900, 900
worth Of cotton with one-ffth that
amount of money.

AS to Wilkinson's Affidavit.


The Hoisington Dispatch of last week
published the following affidavit:
Hoisington, Kansas Oct. 10, 1891
I, the undersigned, do solemnly that the
sanderous reports being circulated by one David o.
Gray are viciously and maliciously false in every
State of Kansas, lss
Subscribed and sworn to before me. Notary
Public in and for the County of Barton. State Of
Kansas this 10th day of Oct, 1891 S johnson
Commission expires JAM p, 1898
The following reply we publish as
paid matter:
IN REPLY TO s. s, w1LKINsON's AFFI-
DAvIT.
1st.-I did not start the report that
S. s. Wilkinson took his girl in swim
Mug with his hired man. Reference,
Z. COoprider.
2d.--Nor did start the report about
the hog that followed the wagon off,
and he settled for the same.
3d.-NOr l did not start the report
that he sold a dog in Olmitz four or
five times in one day, for wheat.
4th.-Nor did not start the report
that the school maam knocked two of
his front teeth out in his own house.
5th.-But do say that S. s. Wilkin-
son pledged himself to support the
democratic party, for the appointment
to fill the vacancy of trustee in p. Law
sons place, and then worked the dem
Ocrats for Doodle, and republicans for
the same. The republicans paid him
potatoes" the democrats in beer. He
stored the beer in my smoke-house un-
til after election and used it for bis
own election purposes and was elected
assessor. And / also say that S. S.
said that if he did not get the nomina-
ton for sheriff in the alliance conven-
ton the alliance could ---. Oh.
reform! However, if S. S. wants any
of these statements proven he can be
accommodated at any time.

Whittier Drifting?

Notwithstanding the Beacon, the
Globe and DR.. Kluher have taken great
pains to assert that the alliance or
peoples party has nothing to do with
prohibition or anti-prohib1tion, the
facts are developing daily that the
alliance movement is being worked by
the prohibition element in the ranks.
To substantiate this assertion we desire
briefly to call the attention of our
to few circumstances:
The alliance women of the state have
been arranging to form state alliance
woman's association for the further
ance of legitimate alliance principles.
Before this could be accomplished. the
slickest worker in the alliance in this
county, woman who is in no sense
farmers wife, Mrs. Fannie Mccormick
of this city, chucked her railroad pass
into her pocket and posted off to
Topeka on the quiet, got three or four
other alliance women together-not
one of them farmers wives-and formed
an organization called 1.-The National
Woman's Alliance" adopted as part
of their platform prohibition and
woman suffrage. Mrs. Mccormick was
elected president, lot of ladies in the
various states-none of whom were
present-elected vice-presidents. The
object was to form this national"
alliance before state associations could
be formed, SO that the officers of the
national alliance could have supervision
over the state alliances.
Again, at the state meeting last week
Mrs. Mccormick made an effort to get
the endorsement of the state alliance,
and worked her position as President
of the National Woman's Alliance" SO
slick as to be elected as assistant state
lecturer.
Now we want to know how many
alliance voters in Barton county will
willingly endorse such scheming?
How do you like the idea of your Or
ganization being used to further the
ambitions of one woman?
Want of space this week forbids our
giving other illustrations proving that
we are right when we say that the pro-
hibition and woman suffrage element
has the pull, and are slick enough to
retain it.

Our READERsryill see, by the report
of the meeting elsewhere, that the
democrats of the third commissioner
district, composed of Fairview, Wheat
land, Grant. Albion, Walnut, Eureka,
Clarence, Buffalo, Pawnee Rock and
Liberty townships, have nominated
Mr.. Henry Boyle as the candidate to
fill the unexpired term of G. Conghlin
deceased. We doubt if a better man
for the position could be found in the
entire district, or the county for that
matter. Henry has shown by his bust
ness integrity and wide knowledge of
public affairs that be is admirably fitted
for the position, and should receive the
support Of the voters of that district
without ar exception.

For A couple Of weeks past the Bea-
con office has contained an amusing
combination in the persons of Brother
Armstrong, Sister Mccormick and DR..
Kluber. They have labored assiduous-
ly to bring forth something startling,
and the result is that the county has
been flooded with two issues of the
s.VOlks Partei Zeitung," which in Eng
lish means peoples party paper. We
don't think that anything DR.. Kluber
may say through his organ will infiu-
euce the voters of Barton county; they
know him of old, and know his tend
ency to anarchy and socialism. We
presume that Mrs. Mccormick saw to
1t that the "Volks Partei Zeitung" did
its share towards securing her the as
sistant state lecturership.

THE Register, Beacon and Globe, as
well as third party politicians generally
are moving heaven and earth to down
Frank Strothman, and all because of his
being candidate for reelection for
third term. But what if he is a candi-
date for third term? He did not seek
the nomination, made no effort to Sc
cure delegation in his favor, he even
insisted on not having his name used.
All who are fighting Frank must and
do-admit that he is a gentleman. cour-
teous and obliging to all whom he may
come in contact with, and is most ex-
cellent official. We know, and humid
reds of others in the county know, that
F. G.. Strothman has saved the people
of Barton county hundreds of dollars
since he has been in Office. Many citi-
zens, regardless of politics, can testify
that Frank saved them from So to SIS
when having an abstract made, and
nearly everyone knows that he has re-
duced the fees in his Office to such an
extent that recording is at present done
cheaper in this county than any other
county in the state. If every man who
Frank has befriended would vote for
him he would defeat both his oppo-
nepts by at least 500 votes. Logan
township, the home of one Of his Oppo-
nents, will give Frank 80 to 40 MAORI
ty. No matter what your politics may
be, cast your vote for F. G. Strothman
for register of deeds. We have given
more attention this week to the candi-
dacy Of MIR. Strothman than to some
others perhaps, for the reason that the
newspapers of the opposition have con-
centrated their fight on him. Vote for
Frank, and show the opposition they
have been attacking the wrong man.
