The following resolutions were adopt
ed by Great Bend Lodge No. 8S,
Knights of Columbia, May 5th, 1898:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Su-
preme Commander of the universe to
remove from our midst our beloved
brother, r. F. PIeger. and
WHEREAS, That in addition to a
sense of general loss to our whole COM
munity, we as body deeply deplore the
loss of a faithful brother and true
friend, and
WHEREAS, 1t is but just that fitting
remembrance of his great worth as a
true Knight OF Columbia should be
had, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That while we bow in
humble submission to the Supreme
will, we do not the less mourn for our
brother. We tender our heartfelt
sympathies to his bereaved wife and
family in this their hour of deep aff1ic-
ton and grief.
RESOLVED, That though words are
insufficient to measure their love, or
our sympathies in this dispensatiOn of
Providence, we would commend them
to the Great Comforter who alone can
administer consolation to the bereaved
ones.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this lodge,
that copy of the same be presented
to the family of the deceased, and to
the city papers, and that our charter be
draped in mourning for a period of
thirty days.

Why Not Raise Broomcorn?

The DEMOCRAT has commented upon
the fact that Rice county farmers have,
year after year, made good money, and
SURE money too, raising broomcorn,
and we have often wondered why Bar
ton county farmers did not try the crop.
We know of but one or two farmers In
the county who have done anything in
the broomcorn line; but those few have
made it pay.
Monday Mr.. Scion Gray. of Rice
county, who has shipped a large part
of Rice county's product, called at this
Office, and we cleaned from him num-
Der of reasons why our farmers should
raise broomcorn.
The yield per acre will average about
ton to 81 acres; the average selling
price per ton is 500, making an income
of about ST.. SO an acre. The cost of
planting, caring for and putting on
market, including seed, will not exceed
So an acre.
The crop chan be put in late, does
not require as much tending as does
Indian corn, and the time for caring for
the crop, pulling, baling etc., comes in
the fall when there is not much other
work to interfere.
Mr.. Gray says one bushel of seed
will plant II acres, and, after the brush
is pulled, the fodder can be gathered
with header and makes the very pest
of roughness for stock. He advises the
raising of the dwarf corn, as it is better
for this climate and easier to care for.
1t stands about feet high, and when
ready to gather is simply jerked off like
c0rn-no cutting and tabling like the
large variety. This dwarf corn COM
mands steady market always, at good
prices. 1t is mostly exported, and the
Kansas product is in great demand.
AS there is much wheat gorund that
will lie idle this year unless some crop
is put into it, we hope that our farmers
viii try the experiment of raising broom
corn.

THERE are always democrats in
every locality" says the Oskaloosa
Times, "who never hustle for the party
except when they are candidates for
Office. At all other times they are
chronic croakers, who sit on their perch
and crtticise and complain of the men
who do the work." This statement is
eminently correct, and applies to Barton
county as well as other localities.
Democrats who have kept constantly at
work, have spent time and money in
every campaign for the success of dem

Thus another of Great Bends well
know and respected citizens has gone.
Dick was well known to most people
in this county; affable courteous, ablig-

his share for the general good of the
community, he had many warm person
al friends. He was taken i'll several
months ago, with what was first stated
as Brights disease of the Kidneys;
later lung troubles set in, and he slow
ly wasted away in spite of all that med
ical aid could do.
at 800 p. m. Sunday, May It'll, fu-
neral services were conducted at his
late residence. Rev. j. W. Carson, of
the Congregational church, preached a
short funeral sermon, and the Knights
Templar then took charge and conduct
ed the beautiful and impressive cere-
monies of the order. After the SER
vices at the home, an escort was formed
of the Knights Templar, Ancient Order
of United Workmen and Knights of
Columbia, and the body of one so well
beloved by all the brothers was escort
ed to the Santa Fe depot, where it was
taken in charge by Sir Knight Elrick
G. Cole and accompanied to Kelleys
Island, Ohio, for burial.
Deceased leaves a wife and two small
children to mourn an irIeparable loss.
His father, DR.. Pieger, of Rush county.
and half brother and two half sisters
were also present at the last rites.
The procession that accompanied the
remains to the depot was one of the
most impressive ever witnessed in the
city, and vast throng congregated at
the residence during the funeral SER

SENATOR PETER, in an interview
in Topeka paper, says that while the
''stalwarts' are making losing fight
against Senator Martin, he, PETER, is
we'll pleased with the muss they are
creating among democrats. He further
states that Senator Martin has recon-
mended no populists. So it will be seen
that the "stalwarts" are pleasing both
the republicans and the populists of the
PETER stripe by their senseless and un-
called for fight.

A New Revelation

The Cook s. Whitbys English Circus
and Menagerie which exhibited here
yesterday was revelation to our peo-
pie, of the possibilities of a genuine
Old World Circus, and makes our well
known and hack2cyed shows seem
very shabby and poor Indeed by COM
parison. High class equestrian and
athletic exhibitions in the three rings
and the two elevated stages, new and
never dreamed of by our American
showmen, followed each other in be-
wlldering succession, amazing and con-
funding the immense audience, while
the numerous clown acts interspersed,
would throw them into commissions of
laughter and merriment. We cannot
praise Cook & Whitby too highly; their
parade nearly "a mile in length was
succession of open dens, band wagons
and blooded horses, all blazing in gold,
silver and silk, their menagerie the
most extensive one ever viewed, their
circus and hippodrome performance
immeasurably superior to any we know,
or have ever witnessed. The balloon
ascensions were successfully accom-
plished, while the free exhibitions our
ing the day would more than equal the
entire stock in trade of ninety-nine per
cent. Of the shows that have ever
visited Cleveland. We heartily wish
them success in their American tour,
they SO highly merit, and are glad to
have made the personal acquaintance
of the managers, in that we have rever

ocratic tickets in Barton county, are
now criticised by some of these fellows;
charged with selling OUT with being
''populists'' and all that. While demo-
Gratis of the persistent and untiring
class were waging determined war
upon the enemies of good government,
and trying to build up the party by
spreading democratic education upon
the important issues of the day, those
lack-a- day do-nothings were sulking in
their tents, or running to the aid of
republicans in the hope of some per-
sonal advancement at the hands of the
party which has so long dominated in
Kansas. But when, by reason of per-
sistent efforts of true democrats, we
have national democratic success, and
the Kansas republican majority is no
more, the s'do-nothings" bloom out as
simon-pure democrats who want every
thing in sight, and are glib in denounc-
ing all who may see fit to cross them.

HICKS says of the weather for the
balance of May: ''Sharp, frosty nights
need not surprise two or three days be-
fore the 7th or sth, about which days it
will turn very warm, and active storms
are liable about 9Th, 9th and 10th.
Temperature will fall to the frost line
after the disturbances of this period.
Tue 14th and 18th will bring sudden
and extreme warmth, with much ten
dency to cyclonic storms on and about
those dates. Watch them! Cooler up
to next storm period, running from 18th
to 22nd. About these days expect very
warm weather to end in hard storms.
This is true, also, for 25th and 26th and
dates touching them. May will end
growing warmer, with storms brewing
and moving from the west.n
