The Soldiers Home.

The editor Of THE REPUBLIC returned
from a trip to Topeka and Dodge City,
on FRIDAY last after an absence of nearly u
week. We found the sections we visited all
complaining of drouth. The central and
southern part of Kansas got more snow than
other sections, and the wheat was looking
fine, especially in Rice county. We went
southwest over the Santa Fee route and
found this road passing through a fine part
of the state. The Arkansas river valley is
fine, and although the soil is somewhat
sandy, the country with plenty of rainfall is
very productive. Dodge City is a town of
about $500 people, has electric lights, water
works, and the business part of the town is
substantially built of brick. 1t is the county
seat of Ford county, and the court house
and city hall are fine buildings. The SOL
dier's home is located at old Fort Dodge,
five miles east of town, and has been estab-
lished about three years.
1t was decided to the state by the general
government for the purpose of soldiers
home, and when no longer used for this
purpose it NAV be used for state institutions
of some kind. 1t is located on the left bank
of the Arkansas river, and the farm consists
of nearly 800 acres, part of which was deed
ed to the state by Ford county. The gov
eminent buildings have been utilized and q
larger number of cottages added. This is a
state institution and the home was projected
on the cottage plan, which is an improve
ment on the national plan. There are about
20 old soldiers, which together with the
women and children number about 300 it,
mates. There is a school with three depart
ments managed by competent teachers, and
all the appointments of the home are such
to make it a pleasant place indeed
Captain SweenY is cOmmandant, but will BIZ
succeeded about May L, BY Hon Charles Il.
Moody. Captain Joshua Mitchell is quarter
master, but will alss be succeeded by Cap
tain Hiram Allen of Williamsburg. Kan.
Mr.. Moody is well known in this part Of
the state, and needs NO introduction to our
readers. Captain Allen commanded a bat
terry in the late war and is a graduate Of the
Indiana state university. All the officers,
the employees, and board Of managers are
old soldiers, and they viii do their best to
manage the home successfully. The mana
cement of the old board and officers Of the
home has been a marked success, and we
hope the credit Of this state institution may
not suffer under the new management. L.
VanVoorhis is the president of the beard.
and the editor of THE REPUBLIC is the Sec
Rotary. DR.. q. Borher of Chase, Kan, the
other member of the board is practieing
physician and served in the army in the war
of the rebellion We had the pleasure to
share the doctors hospitality on his fine
farm in Rice county. Our trip Was pleas
ant one indeed.

ana proceeded to close up the afairs of the
Commercial Bank. He rendered his report
to Judge C. W. Smith, at the recent term of
court IN which he says: ST found the as
sets of the bank to be, $l2,756.41 and the
liabilities $9,IsS.63; that of this amount 1
have collected $9.3S6.O5 being the sum of
$I47.72 in excess of all liabilities" The
court acc pted this sworn report of the re-
port of the receiver and ordered him to paw
the expense of the receiVership, and to dis
charge the liabilities Of the bank. 1t is a
matter OF congratulation that the CONNER.
cial Bank has paid all its liabilities at 100
cents on the dollar.
The friends of C. P. Russell, of which
there are many, are also glad to know that
he has not only "paid out" but that he will
have good snug sum left We are unofi-
ciaIly informed that he has paid all Obliga-
tions and has from 81, 600 to So. 900 left. Mr..
Russell, has always shown himself public
spirited citizen, easy on his creditors, bene-
VIOLENT to fault, and free with his money.
We hope that Mr.. Russell will be prospered
in future business ventures.

We publish elsewhere in our columns the
official statement of the Sherman County
Bank. The large cash resources of this
bank, of over 40 per cent, as seen by the
statement published, indicates verv con-
sentative management, and shows that the
bank is well prepared to meet any and all
demands upon it, crop or no crop. Each
succeeding statement published has shown
u marked increase of business on the pre-
ceding one. Backed as it is by several Of the
best bankers of the state of Missouri, and
by the general superintendent of the Rock
Island Railway company, and other officers
of the road, and by the local business men of
GOodland and Sherman county, it shows a
stability that is certainly gratifying. The
dep sits of over 100000 is the largest of
any bank in western Kansas, fiattering
testimeniaLto its standing in the commun-
ity. The volume OF business done, so much
exceeding any other bank in the west, indi-
Gates the volume of trade in GOOdland a
showing of WHICH we may all be proud.

ner of the same place, were pleasant callers
at this office Wednesday of this week. They
were h"re making arrangements fer starting
a clothing establishment IN the city. This Is
something this town and county has needed
for long time and there is no one we would
rather see cast their lot with us than this

their enterprise and strictly fair dealings,
have won hoSte of warm friends all over
northwestern Kansas. Their store here will
make the fifth one for them. and as they buy
their goods by the carloads, they are pre-
pared to save money for their customers.
Their store will be known as the Star Cloth

ment of Mr.. Skinner. Clarence is a steady,
business like Young man, and will make
score of friends, as well as carry on the
business in the most successful and sa' is
factory manner. He has been with this firm
for several years at Norton and GoOdland.

tons of hay, two horses, 100 bushels of corn,
and some farm implements, cow and calf
Mr.. Connolly came near lOosing his life in
endeaVoring to loosen the cow and calf from
the burning barn. He jumped into his
water tank to wet. his clothing and then
made rush for the barn. He lost the COW
and calf, and he himself became dazed and
fell in the corner Of his BAN yard fence
where there was little to burn, but he is
badly burned about the face and hands. He
barely escaped the loss Of his house by Wig
OrOus fighting of fire.

two head of Young mules. Their ears were
bu rned off and their eve balls burst and ran

When the colored man, John Gle mons,
s. Knight, filed a motion to set aside the
verdict and Srder new trial, but such clap
trap as that did not go with His Honor.
The petition contained nothing that wou I'd
warrant a new trial and was based upon the
superstition that seeing that the prosecuting
witness had been indicted for running a
gambling house. the other witnesses would
not tell the truth, us the one thing they
feared was to be arrested for participating
in the unlawful pastime of gambling. The
judge held that witnesses W 'uld not run he
risk of being tried for perjury lay coming
onto the stand the second time and telling a
much different story. He then ordered the
prisoner to stand UP and he sentenced.
After the usual preliminary questioning the
judge gave him one year in the penitentiary.
We think this is IL light sentence and that
the prisoner should be thankful that he got
no more.

Rainmaking.

We are asked often why do not the Good
land rain makers operate? We reply: 1t is
too much to ask them to operate at their
own expense. We propose this scheme.
Erect and anchor wind mill tower, also
anchor enc inch water pipe and extend it
up through the tower as high as possible,
say 30 feet, stayed by guy wires, SO as to
give it the highest attitude possible with
operating pipe, and small shanty for work.
The bare expense being paid for material
and work, and test the rain problem thor
oughly. The people of this country are GER
tainlv interested in the success of such a
plan and it seems to us that the people
ought to defray the expense. We are sure
that the experiment would be success.
