Sugar Beets.

The DEMOCRAT has many times
called the attention of its readers to
the sugar beet culture and the adapta-
bility of the soil of Barton county,
especially that of the Arkansas river
bottom, for beet culture.
We have before US Bulletin No. 81
of the Kansas State Agricultural College
which gives the result of tests made of
Kansas beets grown In 1891. Samples
were sent in from this county by E. H.
Kleuber gof Ellinwood, NJ. w. Cobun of
Hoisington, ]. B. Miller and /. Pelsor
of Great Bend. The tables in Bulletin
No. 81 give the result of analysis OF
I5e samples sent from various parts OF
the state and one beet, raised by J. B.
Miller in the sandy soil south of the
river, makes the highest test of purity,

ment designating the place where
Custer killed 1 500 Cheyenne ponies in
1868. He was after San Tanta and
Big Tree. When Custer came on them
he found 1000 Cheyenne warriors. He
had only 400 men. To attack meant
massacre. There were six inches of
snow on the ground and the horses had
little feed. Concealing his own horses
in a rayine Custer stole up the Washita
bottom with his men OF foot, found
1 500 Indian ponies, and at dawn killed

A Bad Beginning.

Some fool said long ago" ga bad begin
ming makes a good ending" If there
is any truth, whatever, IN the adage,
the ending of the republican compaign
ought to be glorious one, for surely.
in nominating George T. Anthony as
its candidate for congressman at-large
the party has made beginning as bad
as it could possibly make.
1t has nominated a cold, selfish
schemer who repels instead of attract
ing voters.
It has nominated a man who has
been untrue to every man who ever
tried to help him, insomuch that one
of the leading newspaper men of Kan.

say: George T. Anthony hates his
friends"
19 900 votes behind his ticket when be
was candidate for governor, who was
repudiated by the people when he was
a candidate for denomination and
whom the President of the United
States pronounced an unfit man to be
appointed to federal position.
1t has nominated a man whom nc
man in the republican party loves and
for whom many of the. leaders of the
party have bitter hatred.
It has nominated a man who, as rail-
road commissioner, has antagonized
the business interests of the eastern
end of the state by ruling that is
unjust and outrageous, and was made
solely for the purpose of influencing
votes in the interior.
1t has nominated a man who was a
tyrant and a coward in the army, and
for whom no self respecting Union
soldier would vote.
And it has nominated man who
robbed the school fund of the State OF
New York and fed for Kansas to avoid
responsibility fol-. his acts.
This is the beginning the party has
made this year, when to make a mis-
take in the nomination is a crime.
It has made a terrible mistake

Which Your Glass. Bro. Armstrong;

The Eureka Messenger claims that
there are three classes of peoples party
men who are opposed to doing the
right thing by the democrats. One
class is made up of those fellows who
will tell you thai both old parties are
just alike. Another class is made up
of the over sanguine fellows who will
tell you that the peoples party is grow
ing stronger every day, can elect their
ticket without the help of the demo-
Gratis; and the third class are made up of
those who pretend to be peoples party
men, but are working in the interest

THE Washington Post

THE Washington Post publishes
extracts from the inaugural message of
President William Henry Harrison in
1S41, denOuncing the ambition for a
second term as degrading and corrupt
ing to the mind of the incumbent of
the presidential Office and calling atten-
tion to she fact that President Ben
jamin Harrison in his inaugural mes
sage endorsed what his grandfather
had said before him. There is no sane
man in Washington or for that matter
in the United States but what believes
Banjamin is not only willing but anx-
ious to be degraded by a denomination.
The talk in his inaugural about a Sec
ond term was simply intended as a
good joke.

THE Newton Republican, in speak
ing of the Hon, Morg. says: He is a
West Virginian by birth, Kansan by
choice. He was born among the slave
holders but early turned toward the
north and in the rebellion espoused the
cause of the old flag" Just what is
meant by "espoused the cause" is a
little mixed. There is rumor afloat
that Morg. ran for something on a
democratic ticket down in Virginia.
1t is also understood that he has not
applied for a pension, and does not
wear G.. A. R. button, noretalk COM
rades; and there is no other evidence
that he ''espoused" the cause of the
Union, in the general acceptation of
the term. Morg. should explain just
how he did this thing he is charged
with.

PAwNEE ROCK.


From the Leader.
Wheat is growing at the rate of an
inch a day-mOre or less.
John Dement'S brother-in-law and
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Ford, of Kansas
City, are here on a visit.
DIED.-On Tuesday, May II. 1892,
at 7 p. M, of dropsy, Mrs. Dirks,
wife of Tobias Dirks, of Pawnee Rock
township.
J. s. Wingett was over from Albert
on Saturday. He says everybody is
breaking sod up that way, and that
wheat is looking elegant.
One Of our wheat buyers estimates
that there will be 40 to SO car loads
of of old wheat shipped from this point
before the new crop begins TO come
in.
Nineteen Russian families, fresh
from the old country, landed in Great
Bend last Saturday night.e We un-
derstand they will locate in Barton
county.
The K. of p. lodge will give sup
per and concert on the afternoon and
evening of the 30th of May. Supper
will be from 5 to p. M, concert from
Z to $50 and from $50 until going
home time ice cream and cake, etc
will be served.
The G. A. r. boys are making a
special effort to make the Decoration
Day service interesting, Judge Day
is second to none in the state on a me-
mortal address. Pawnee Reck and
surrounding country is always in the
front ranks on Decoration Day.
And now some of them are kicking
because we are getting little rain.
They say the wheat will grow SO tall
they can't cut it, and just think of the
extra work. Great John Marial some
of them would kick if they we're in
heaven; mad because they couldn't be
in HI at the same time, so as to see
what it looked like.
