a Wild Race for Liberty.

Last month Sheriff Beeson received a
postal card from an officer in Colorado
offering reward for stolen horse. Re-
Gently Sheriff Beesou located some stol-
en- horses in Sizelove's pasture ten miles
southeast. where the thief had hired
pasture and lett them until he could
rustic some more. Mr.. 5. was innO-
Gently negotiating the purchase of two
horses from the thief and happened to
mention the matter to the sheriff. Last
Tuesday he advised the officer of the
thief's return.
BeesOn mounted good horse and
started after the mar, accompanied by
young Sizelove. They overlook him
four miles south of Sizelove's place rid
inc leiSureiy along on one horse and
leading another. As soon as the thief
sighted the sheriff. about half mile
away, he dismounted. changed the sad
die on to the led horse. Beeson was
riding like the wind and had approach
ed within twenty rods. commanding
him to halt and surrender or he would
shoot. The thief paid no attention, but
started on Il wild race for liberty toward
the west, leaving the other horse. bride
and all. The first few jumps he did not
start very swiftly. but soon got down to
work aud gave evidence of high bred
racing qualities. BeeSOn rode good
horse but the strangers racer sped over
the prairies at rate that gained on the
officer as greyhound would distance
mongrel cur. Still BeesOn continued
the pursuit, firing as he rode, until his
revolver was empty. At the first shot
the fugitive yelled with pain. crying ont
'.you have shot me-" 1t did not pre-
vent him sticking to the saddle nor di-
minish the speed of his gallant charger.
After riding twelve miles he completely
distanced the pursuing officer and es-
capped. Mr.. Beeson has three horses
awaiting owners besides the one be-
longing TO the Colorado party which has
been restored to the owner.

j. W. Mccartney, of the Fl. Dodge
State Soldiers Home, called Wednesday
and presented US with a head of cabbage
weighing ten pounds and one ounce
with all outside leaves stripped off. 1t
is of the early flat Dutch variety. Mr..
McCaffrey has one patch of early cab
bage and another of the later variety.
Many of she heads in the early patch
are equal to this. while those of the late
variety will be larger. He does his gar
dening thoroughly. having spaded this
patch deeply and thoroughly pulverized
the ground. His beets and other veget-
ables are also very fine, and though he
did not have the benefit of irrigation,
has demonstrated that it pays 10 put
labor into the soil of Western Kansas.

a Seasons Dancing.

The many lovers of the Te-psichorean
art in Dodge City will be pleased TO learn
that the Beeson Orchestra has completed
all arrangements to give dance once in
every two weeks during the coming win
ter. Their first and opening dance will
be given on Friday evening, September
23rd. at McCarty's Rink. The price of
tickets will be seventy five cents.
Dodge people have every right to feel
proud in the possession of some of the
finest musical talent i'm the state. and
some of the best Of this talent has been
lately added 70 this already superb or
chestra. There is probably no city in the
state possessing anything near the equal
of this splendid orchestra company. and
YET in many respects orr people have not
shown active appreciation of the time,
money. labor and management which it
has cost TO perfect musical organization
such as this.
We are informed that the funds accru-
ing from these entertainments will be
used by the orchestra to still further per-
feet them in the musical art, and we hope
they will meet with the success which
they so richly deserve. Many of our
home entertainments have been greatly
helped. and the audience handsomely en-
tertained. while several travelling theater
troupes on different occasions have fur
ni>hed less of the entertainment than did
this orchestra by its charming music.
and seventy-five cents given in so worthy
a cause will never be regretted by the do
nor. even though he take no part in the
dancing. The full orchestra will always
be present at each entertainment.

j. James is coming to the front as a
well-to-do farmer. He has several
thousand bushels of wheat this year and
it tests 63 pounds to the bushel. He also
has crop of corn which now bids fair

and now is heavy with large. we'll filled
ears that will insure about two thousand
bushels of corn. As this staple cereal
will be short in parts of Indiana and
other corn producing states. and our
home demand in Ford county always
exceeds the supply. Mr.. James will in
all probability. realize a cool thousand
dollars for this crop, which has SO far

six dollars for the seed, as he had the

his wheat acreage in 1898 by drilling

The Rock Island has material on the
ground and will al once commence the
construction of tive-pen stock yards at
WillrhoadeS. siding on Mr.. Rhoades'
lands, five or six miles east of tie city.
This place is quite an important ship
ping point. as Mr.. Rhoades has over
5000 acres under fence. He has for
pasture 1000 or more cattle. They go IN
so poor they can hardly walk and come
out in a few months hog fat. \ visit to
this ranch gives most striking illustra-
ton of the superiority Western Kansas
over New Mexico for stock. There in
the same pasture are cows just arrived

and emaciated by starvation, while 9TH

strewn over the grounds. and five wind
mills keep constant supply of water
fresh and sparkling.

Last Friday the republican state con-
vention of Colorado finished its labors
and selected state central committee.
The associate press dispatches show that
G. W. Milton took prominent part and
his name appears as member of the
state central committee. This is but
another verification of the time honored
axiom. blood will tell" Here in Kan
sas c. A. Milton and B. F. Milton have
their iron grasp firmly fixed on the
demo-pop party. while in Colorado the
irrepressible G. W. Milton rides upon
the crest of the republican wave. Thus
this family of statesmen can defy even
fate itself. for if Cleveland should be
elected, G. w. can come down out of
the mountains and help Charlie and
Frank parcel out post offices and land
offices. On the other hand. if Harrison
wins. the Ford county statesmen in the
family can 60 up to Colorado and ar
range with G.. W. to divide the spoils of
the Silver state.

In south HOdgeman county there have
been different houses broken into. the
contents rummaged through and some
small articles appropriated to the use of
the self constituted guests. For some
time there was an element of uncertain
~ concerning who were perpetrating
these acts of lawlessness. but recently
one of their raids were observed so that
two of the parties can be positively
identified. Although the offense is the
serious crime of burglary. punishable by
the penitentiary. the witness has not
yet made complaint to the officers, but
if another dwelling in the neighborhood
is invaded the parties already detected
will be at once prosecuted to the full eX-
tent of the law for the offense already
discovered. Those who have had their
dwellings entered and contents disturbed
are reluctant in prosecuting neighbors,
but forbearance has ceased TO be a vir-
tue.

COLUMBIA, S. G., May 19.-The South
Carolina Democratic convention adopted
a platform recognizing the depressed
condition of the people. the reign of the
plutocrats, the unequal lave of con-
gress and pledging allegiance to the
principles enunciated by Jefferson.
Then follows the Ocala platform entire.
A plank was inserted denouncing the
force bill. The platform demands that
the currency be increased and money
Issued to the people at a low rate of in
terest on good security.
Grover Cleveland's nomination is de-
cried as prostitution OF the principles
OF Democracy and repudiation of the
demands Of the farmers alliance, which
embody the true principles of Democ-
fracy and the surrender of the rights of
the people to the financial kings Of the
country"
A minority report deprecating the
attack on Cleveland was showed under.
A resolution denouncing the third
party was killed.
