ArteSian Water i'm Ford County.

B. c. Waters and J. F. Goudy, OF
Wilburn. were in the city last Wednes-
day. They say farmers are feeling very
much elated over the way things are de-
veloping there. They certainly have
reason to be jubilant, as it is now dem
Onstrated beyond doubt that large
body of artesian water flows beneath
them, and only requires an opening to
permit it to gush out on the surface in
great abundance. Mr.. Waters has one
flowing constantly on his place, mile
and three-quarters north of Wilburn,
while Mr.. Padgett has three wells south
of town, one of which flows an inch
and half or two inch stream. Then
there are number of others scattered at
intervals of a few miles apart, and the
distance :hey are from each other indi-
Gates that the artesian water underlies
that region generally. AS it is only
IS feet deep, is within the reach of all.
NJ. w. Brown has already started a well
on his place which comes right up to the
town site. in fact is virtually in town.
He wants water for his stock. MIR.
Goudy will also put down well on his
place. Besides artesian water they
have a fine outlook for another big
wheat crop. The acreage is largely in
creased, and that sowed long enough is
all up and looking nicely. Late sown
wheat is just coming up. Mr.. Waters
has doubled his acreage, and now hopes
to harvest 100 acres of good grain in
1894. There ought to be a substantial
real estate boom in that part of Ford
County next yesr, as the fertile soil,
smooth laying land, with pure water
cushing out everywhere that holes are
bored, must be very attractive picture
to any one wanting sure thing on big
crops.

A repetition of the popular operetta,
Little Red Riding Hood, was given to
an appreciative audience at Kelly's Op-
era house last Wednesday evening.
Some new extraneOus features of a COM
ic order were interspersed, and added
in measure to the interest and enjoy
ment to the entertainment. While the
scantness of our struggling tOpknot is a
constant reminder that silence is golden
where the pen would accord individual
praise among performers in these enter
tainments, we feel safe in venturing the
statement that the expectations of the
public have been exceeded. All the lit
tie folks gave evidence of thorough and
careful training. Their rendition of So
los and choruses not only pleased the
audience but made many happy parents
hearts thrill with pride. Mrs. Gilbert
and Miss Sheldon, with cultured voices
adapted to and at home in the trills, va
riations and flights of opera music, GER
tainly lost none of the laurels heretofore
achieved, and the ringing applause al
ways following their efforts is evidence
of the high appreciation they merit.
By voice rich in melting melody and
sweetly thrilling every soul. little Miss
Misner won warm place in the public
heart, and if she doesn't win a position
for herself as charming singer it won't
be for lack of sweet voice. The per-
fOrmances of the male quintet, however,
were what put the sluggish circulation
of the audiences system into motion. It
was a tonic pure and simple. Beeson's
orchestra held sway between acts, and
one would think from the way it was re- |
peatedly encored that our people don't |
have an opportunity oftener than once |
year of listening to this celebrated band. |
The music rendered by this organization |
is like the old Kentuckian's finest brand |
of ''inspiration." We don't need to brag |
on tit speaks for itself. With the sue. |
cess GROWING past efforts. and with this |
evidence of first-class home talent avail |
able, the public sees no reason for wait |
ing for travelling companies to entertain |
us this winter. Manager Pearce has |

FRIDAY, DECEMBER p, 1898.

We are aware Of the fact that most of
the citizens of Dodge City regard Rev. F.
Warnon as fake, ard that they attribute
the cures done while he was here to hypno-
tism or magnetism. This is partly owing
to the fact that most prOfesSed Christians
teach that no miracles are done in modern
times. Such persons have no scriptnral
authority against miraculous healing, and
it is even necessary to plead that the plain
New Testament doctrine of ccring the
sick, given by Christ and confirmed by the
Apostles, had no force except during the
apostolic days.in order to sustain their po-
sition. We do not propose to enter into an
argument of this subject at presnt. Meth
er is it our purpose to devote much space
to Mr.. Wa-non. Our former report of
his doings, after the first night. was based
upon personal observation, and we know
the details given are according to what
we saw and heard the patients testify to,
the written statements of whom we have
Oh file in this Office to verify the same.
We don't know whether +. WarnOn is
a fake or not, but we do know that there
Were wonderful things done in his pres
ence after prayer. Furthermore, there are
four persons cured whose ailments have
not returned. Most Of the others have re-
lapsed. Our information is that those
still cured have never for a moment doubt
ed it was miraculous answer to prayer,
while most Of those who relapsed began to |
have more or less doubts soon after their |
cures as to whether or not it might not be |
hypnotism, or some othe hu-
man influence which helped them.

Merchants Bank Sale Of Assets

Assignee Hoover sold at public auction
last Tuesay the assets of the defunc,
Merchants State bank. consisting of lands
buildings, notes and judgments. There
was no outside money on hand for in.
vestment, and only those who had ready.
cash to spare were allowed to bid. Prices
realized were therefore very much less
than actual value but the bulk of creditors
demanded sale be made at this time. and
Judge Abbott made an order in accor-
dance with such request.
The Hodgeman county land, $40 acres.
sold for 500. to Ford county. Some Of
our citizens bid up to se4O. but the
county took it in at 500, which is a prea,
bargain, as the land is worth some thous.
ands at a low estimate.
A forty acre tract of land south of the
river. near C. NJ. Beeson's farm, sold for
$3.50 to W. J. Fitzgerald. This was
another cheap piece of property, as il
is bottom land, well adapted to alfalfa
and we are informed Mr.. Fitzgerald will
have it seeded after The wheat crop now
growing on it is harvested. and start ,
hog ranch.
The bank building itself was bid in BY
r. +. kellogg for $4,000. Mr.. G. N.
Hoover holds mortgage on it for q 900.
and 1t Is thought the property will be
transferred to him on cancellation Of the
mortgage.

building, cold to Ford county, for sl.O50
There is sure to be rise In value of this
as it now rents for $500 per. month.
The old Cox House lots were also bid
In by Ford county at S345, which is very
cheap.
The Dodge House stables on 100 feet
of ground were bought by Dodge City
for $500, which is another grea: bargain.
John H. Colby, of Boston, Mass. held
mortgage of $4,000, on the postoffice
corner. aud he bid it in at s35, above the
incumbrance.
A quarter section of land near Buck
lin, mortgaged for 1875. was bought by
J. NJ. Kirkpatrick, for s25 over the in
cumbrance.
The sale of notes and judgments was
an interesting feature of the proceedings.
Most of them bore the names of va
rious well-known citizens who met with
financial reverses by specializing or in
dorsing for other spectators during the
boom and unfortunately have nothing
with which to liquidate these obligations
at present. Therefore no one cared to
invest in them, and those who were pres
ent bought in their own paper at NOM
inal price. We will not give their names
as it is misfortune enough for a man to
be unable to meet obligations, without
having the fact published in a newspaper
One good result of this cleaning up Of
old paper on insolvent citizens is that
they will have better courag to make
new start in life without having the in
cubus of debt hanging over them.
1t is also good thing to have the real
estate change hands, even though at a
small price, because every transfer in
fuses new life into the market.
Proceeds of sale amount to about
b, 900, which will enable the assignee
% pay up all expenses and give depositors
bout ten per cent dividend. The divis-
on ought to be ready by the first of
leXt January.

The Christians Life.-Men of the world
are more interested in the lives of Christ
ians than in their words and theories. If
they do not see the fruits of our profession
in our lives they question our sincerity.
The Christian is expected to lay plans and
adopt measures to honor Christ and do
good to man. A holy life speaks more
forcibly then the soundest logic or the
most profound reasoning. Holiness kind
les in the heart of its possessor holy fire,
an undying zeal, burning love that
moves him out after souls for whom Christ
suffered and died.
Such person does not live an idle, care
less, useless life. He is ever anxious to
render acceptable service to the Master. His
life speaks for Christ on each secular day
as we'll as on the Sabbath, in the business
place as well as in the church. Such a
person is sure to leave " foOt.marks on
the sands of time"
