Ii is with great pleasure we note
that there are many new readers being
added to our list through the efforts Of
our friends in various parts
of tina country Our first aim is
to make newsy, reliable paper,
prompt ia its weekly appearance and
neat in it's mechanical make up, so
that no one. regardless OF party faith,
need hesitate to say that the DEMO
GRAFT is the best paper in the county
for county news. Every good word of
that kind is indeed appreciated highly
by the publisher. 1t indicates that
our efforts to give value received for
the money of our subscribers is appre.
ciated, Our list of subscribers has
much more than doubled within the
last few years, and much credit is due
the country friends OF the paper for its
prosperity.

frage, campaign appeared in Saturdays

Great Bend appears ca the list for
Feb. 9th, 2Sth, and 29.h. But two

Rev. Anna Shaw Will preach in the
Methodist church. Convention ser
vices viii be held in the Congrega-
tional church, beginning Saturday,
Feb. 9th, at $40 p. N. The speaker
of the evening, Rev. Anna II. Shaw,
is one Of the most popular lecturers in
the United States today.
Il is told US by farmer whom We
consider perfectly reliable, that at a
certain school district in this county a
little boy, while playing on the school
ground, was thrown and bad his arm
broken; that the teacher did not con-
slider the accident very serious, and
though having horse and buggy at
the school, let the little boy walk
home accompanied only by his broth
er. IF there is not some mistake
about this statement OF the case, there
is school teacher vino hardly UNDER

In his letter of defamation he gives no
reason for pulling off the track in Har-
rison's favor, but the general comment
is that Blaine is too weakly to attempt
another campaign. Mckinley, Cullom,
Alger and Allison are thought to be tue
men who will contest with Harrison
for the honor of being licked by the
democratic nominee. See Blaine's
letter, on the inside pages of this

February weather report: From End

storm period for February. Rain, some

snow northward. Don't be unprepared
for cold following. Dates touching the
9th will bring warm weather. with
storm centrals on that date. Plan for
such results and for regular cold to
follow. Storm conditions will return
on the 14th, 18th and 18th, bringing
rain or snow on or touching three dates.
The cold wave following storms will
appear about the Goth. The Goth, 9th
and 18th are regular storm dates sure
to be heard from and to bring cold
ending to the north. Much hard, try

Mr.. Smith tells of an instance illus
truting the peculiar methods Of Mex
lean administration of justice in CON
nection with railways.
A friend Of mine was on trial for
his life on charge Of manslaughtcr
down near Quintero. He had been
running passenger train and had
had the misfortune to kill u man
walking on the track. He had been
in jail for several months and finally
Minister Osborne, who was then in
Mexico, succeeded in having his case
called for trial. Now, tho Mexicans
never listen TO expert testimony
rhcy might hear you and mo in our
own defense, but unless we could cor
roborito testimony by somo tangible
support like physical substantiation,
we would cut but poor figure. In
the case refer to tho authorities in.
sisted upon having the engineer ~.
produce precisely the. condition Of
Affairs which led to the accident.
Accordingly tho railroad company
had TO rig up train OF cars, pre-.
ciscly like that In which the acct.
dent occurred. II had 20 bc loaded
with Just as many people Us tho
original train had ON board. II had
TO have tho same engine and DO
taken TO tho precise spot whero the
accident occurred. A dummy figure
was prepared TO stand IN tho exact
spot where tho man was killed.
Then the jury were to got on tho
train and the administrator do
justice" was to take seat in tho
tab and observe tho efforts Of tho
engineer to stop II in timc.
Now, the engineer who was demon
strating tho problem was a friend OF
the man on trial. He intended to
show the administrator" something
he had never before seen. Tho idea
was to take the train over the Same
track. They won't up tho road about
five miles and then switched TO come
back for tho object lesson. The
dummy was set up ON tho track. The
administrator took his place IN the
cab, leaning more than half his body
out TO better observe the figure, for
no was to give tho signal when 10
stop.
The engineer let her out with o
grin. Ho was not supposed to travel
more than thirty miles an hour but
when tho administrator waved his
hand to check her-''man on tho
track'-he was going fifty. Thefire-
man pulled the whistle, the engineer
sprang to his reverse lever and his
sandbox and gave her all the air
there wns in the pump. In less than
a second the administrator dc Judi
cio' was out of the cab window into
tho ditch with broken ankle, tho
jury in the irst passenger car was
piled into n promiscuous mass, tho
buffer couplors were smashed, the
stove was upset, and yet tho momen
tum was SO great that tho engine
struck tho straw man and knocked
II twenty feet In the air.
The result Of that object lessor
was that the administrator lay IN
bed for six weeks, tho engineer wa,
acquitted and the jury petitioncd tbs
