Guthrie, Oklahoma, for several months,

We are afraid that the present big
wheat crop will induce many of our
farmers to overdo the thing in wheat
next year. We have head of half
dozen farmers who will put in 1000
acres each.
The +. Il. Cole railroad switch has
been put in and the farmers of that
section can ship their wheat without
coming to Medicine Lodge or going to
Sharon. The switch is about four miles
east of this city.
There was another glorious rain Mon
day morning. 1t began at four o'clock,
and continued as gentle shower till
eight o'clock. The ground is in spIen-
did growing condition, and there is no
fear now for the safety of the early
corn.
9. ID. CoddingtOn, until recently the
manager of the Badger Lumber Com

seph, came in Saturday to look after
his claim. He proved up on Monday.
He has a fine field of growing corn,
and will put out 100 acres of wheat this
fall.
The republicans held "corkus" at
the Cresset Office last Saturday after
noon. They resolved to make the COM
ing campaign as hot and dirty as the
last one was. This is not an official re-
port of the meeting, even If it does
sound like it. But this is what they
are doing, and Will do.

Z. Hall and Mrs. j. S. Runyan, and to
his little daughter, Eunice. The doc
Tor has sold out his business at Bron-
augh, and is now looking around for

find better town.
We have received a copy of the premi-
um list of the Barber County Driving
Park and Agricultural Fair, to be held
at KiOwa, September 8, 10 and 18th.
The list includes almost everything,
and some OF the premiums are quite
liberal. The list is book of Al pages
and cover, well gotten up, but no mark
on it to show where it was done. 1t is
safe to say it was not done in Barber
county.
1--WE do not wish to lend our col
umns to encourage strife and hard
feelings between neighbOrs, as, in this
case neither side can possibly be bene-
flied" The above is from the Cresset
The same issue has malignant attacks
against DeGeer, Lands, and even ac-
cuses Judge Mckay of acting in man
ner not becoming, to say the least. We
never knew the Cresset to refuse an
article, no matter how low and mean,
if it ran parallel with its views.
Monday morning, at four O'Clock, it
commenced raining, and there were
few loud claps of thunder and some
bright flashes of lightning, but there
did not seem to be any very unusual
disturbances; but lightning struck at
several points in the county. 1t killed
a mule for Mr.. Brewer, living in the
northwest part of town; it struck the
Zimmerman place, three miles west,
and struck an clubhouse near the Pease
school house, six miles northwest OF
this city. Killing the mule was the
worst damage we have heard of.
DR.. r. b. Currie, veterinary surgeon,
showed us three cancers, Friday, which
he had cut from a couple of horses.
One of these cancers looked like it
would weigh about four pounds. The
other two were smaller, the two COM
bined being about the size of the large
one. He tells us that both horses got
up after the operation. and began feed
ing, and that they are both certain to
get well. These cancers all had an out
side sore, and the doctor began by cut
ting around the sore, thus reaching the
neck of the cancer, and following it
along to its utmost extremity, thus
leaving no root or branch of the dis

doctoring, of late, and has been very
successful.
Mr.. Charles Hutchinson had an ex-
