A Pleasant Social Event.

On Tuesday afternoon last, Mrs. J.
Nj. Donley held reception at her COM
modious residence, in the west end,
from 8 to 6. The large parlors were
tastily decorated, very cool and invit-
ing. and comfortably filed during the
entire afternoon. Shortly after their
arrival the guests were shown to the
dining room, which was tastefully dec
GRATED with white and yellow; the
table loaded with delicious dainties
was presided over by Miss Blanche
Donley assisted by Misses George
Hume and Daisy Allen. The young
ladies looked charming, as they always
do, and did tie honors gracefully and
added much to an enjoyment of the
refreshments. Miss Halle Elliott pre-
sided over a lemonade booth in the
front parlor, and looked very pretty
indeed. The reception was given in
honor of Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Elliott
mother and sister of Mrs DonIey
The guests all voted it one of the mos
enjoyable events of the season.

Plenty of Timber,

There is plenty of good, round tim
Der in Barton county out of which to
make democratic county officers, and
already the voters are beginning to
look about and pick out the men who
they think will be the proper parties to
place in domination for the various
offices nexk month.
DEMOCRAT to name few of the men
who are being suggested for the various
offices, and whose names will probably
be brought sbefOre the convention on
of the gentlemen we shall name are
personally seeking nomination. They
are lin the hands of their democratic
friends" as it were.
For representative Hon. II. j. Rect
eel, who has heretofore served the
county in that capacity, is urged by his
many friends to make the race. V. S.
Musil, also of Ellinwood, and Ira d.
Brougher, of Great Bend, are men.
toned, and the democrats Of the north
side have gentleman in the person of
w. w. Truxal, of Homestead township,
whom they would like to support. The
DEMOCRAT could consistently recon-
mend and support either of these
gentlemen.
For county attorney there are three
gentlemen, all of Great Bend, who are
being mentioned for the nomination:
they are G. F. Diffenbacher, VIM. Os.
mond and James W. Clarke. Either
of these gentlemen are better qualified
for the position of county attorney
than either of the two candidates now
in the field; and in our opinion either
one can be elected this fall.
For clerk of the district court the
name of Chas. Mclean, of Independent
township, is prominently spoken of, as
are also Will Lucas and Will Schwier
of the west side. All of these gentle
men are capable, enterprislng and pop.
ular young democrats.
AS probable candidates for probate
judge, the names of Judge G. Toepke
of Ellinwood, VIM. Gagelman and Johr
Bement of Clarence, Isaac Markell Of
Beaver, and Frank Strothman of Great
Bend are spoken of in connection with
the Office. The people know all o.
them, and know that any one of then
would make an excellent officer in tina
position. Prof. G. q. Bullock, OF LakiI
township, would be a popular and
strong candidate for county superin
tendent of public schools, as would al
so Will Lucas of Clarence Tn,
friends of each of these gentleman ar
advocating their claims, and one of tn
two will doubtless be selected to 'speI
down" Messrs. Mckinney and Harri
son.
These are few of the names of ger
tlemen spoken of by the democrats fo
the places. Every democrat shout
take pride in attending the TOWNSHIP
caucuses and the county conventio
and thus aid in the selection of the be-
men we have in the party for the plac,
Let every township be fully represent
ed, and let each delegate go into tn
convention with the determination I
nominate and assist in electing a fu
county ticket. 1t can be done. Th

An Interesting Letter which Speaks

LovEvILLE, st. Mary's Co., Nd,
June 10, 1891 have handled
Chamberlain>s Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy for the past year.
It gives the best of satisfaction to my
customers. l received an order last
week for four bottles of the remedy
from a man residing sixteen miles
from my place. Today l received a
letter from him. stating that it had
saved the lives of two members of his
family. An old gentleman here, who
has suffered with diarrhoea for two
years, was permanently cured by this
remedy. He can now do as much
work as any man of his age. l could
mention other remarkable cures, but
the remedy will show for itself if tried.

Barton County Normal Institute.


The eighteenth annual normal insti-
tute of Barton county will be opened at
the Central school building in Great
Bend, on Monday, July 80, and close
Thursday, August e. The object of
the Institute is to make teachers more
familiar with the subjects TO be taught
and with the best methods of teaching.
No teacher who wishes TO keep up with
the times can afford to miss the insti-
tute. Do not think because your GER
tifcate does not expire for one or two
year. If you are a scholarly and sue
cessful teacher, We want you to attend
SO that others may have the benefit of
your experience. If you are young and
without experience, it is a duty you owe
to yourself and your pupils to make the
best preparation possible.
Come on the first day at 1880 a. m.
and attend the entire session. A re-
port will be published at the close of the
normal, showing the attendance and
studies pursued by each person.
Our instructors are thoroughly quail
fled for the work assigned them. Prof.
E. 3. Smith, our conductor, is well
known by all our people as teacher of
eminent ability. We know he is the
man for the place, because we have
| tried him and found him not wanting.
Prof. L. D. Arnold of Salina is pre-
pared to do thorough earnest work.
He has been a successful teacher in the
public schools and county normals, and
Normal University. Prof. E. E. Nor
rison, who is member of the examin-
ing board of Barton county, will also
assist. He is thorough student and
teacher, and is personally interested in
the success of the institute. Mr.. D.
M. Woodburn of Great Bend has been
engaged to teach vocal music. Mr..
WOODBURY. is thoroughly prepared to
instruct and interest the teachers In this
work. The day is coming when music
will be required to be taught in the
public schools. Nothing is better
| adapted to bring harmony and good will
into the school room than music. Moth
ing else has so refining and elevating an
influence over children. We hope that
teachers will devote as much time as
| poccihle RI this cubiect
An examination for teachers certih-
Gates will be held on Friday and Satur-
day, August "a and IS. All persons
whose certificates expire before the
close of the coming school year should
take this examination. Much trouble
would be saved if school boards would
demand that teachers provide them
selves with certificates, good for the
entire term, before entering school.
The registration fee is one dollar
payable in advance. Examination fee
one dollar. Board can be obtained witt
families at reasonable rates, and room:
can be rented by persons who wish tt
board themselves.
Come to the superintendent Office
register your name and secure a copy
of the course of study. All inquire:
addressed 10 the county superintendent
will be promptly answered.
Very respectfully,

Stole a Bicycle.

About a month ago r. B. Warren s
bicycle was stolen from the sidewalk
at the P. o. block, and this week two
young men, Harry Baker and Harry
Wyman, were taken in by Sheriff Spen-
Ger as the thieves, and each has con-
fessed. Baker has been in Great Bend
all the time. Wyman was away, and
was arrested at Sterling. Each of them
tell the same story. They saw the BIZ
cycle and concluded to get away with
it. Baker got pair of nippers from
his brothers. shop and cut the chain by
which it was locked to an iron railing.
He then rode the wheel over to a va
cant building on the east side of the
square and concealed it in garnet fol
three days, when Wyman took it and
rode over to Wilson, about 40 miles
north, and sold it for $50. A third
young fellow, whose name we did not
learn was also in the deal, and it was
doubtless the failure of Wyman tC
fairly divide the spoils that led to their
discovery. He bought some new
clothes, and said he only had SIS wheI
he came back to Great Bend. $40 Of
this he paid to Bakers mother, whom
he owed for board, and the SIS he
divided with Baker; giving some ole
clothes to the third fellow. These cir
cumstances both Baker and Wymar
agree in describing. They plead guilty
before justice of the peace, and art
| bound over to the next term of the dis
trict court, when they will get tern
i'll the penitentiary. This is terrible
start IN life for two reasonably brigi
young men to make.
