Editor REPUBLIC:
With your permission I wish to refer
to the article last week, headed, "GOod-
land Should Wake Up" which you viii
find on further investigation and re-
Election, is misleading and without
foundation in facts.
1t is fact and generally conceded
that there is not another town in north
west Kansas that has in the last two
years held her trade, shown the bust
ness enterprise and maintained her
prestige as Goodland has and is today.
There is not another town in northwest
Kansas that has kept up their stocks
of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
groceries, hardware, drugs, lumber,
farming machinery and repairs, that
has maintained the high standard and
complement of doctors, lawyers, den
lists, jewelers., newspapers, mechanics
of various kinds as has Goodland. And
by the combined enterprise and energy
of the representatives of these various
kinds Of business and professions Good
land has right along and is today en-
joying very fiattering patronage from
neighboring towns and counties, and
which she can continue TO do, because
here they can find what they want and
at lower prices.
Call on our business men and make
inquiries and they will tell you that
they are doing as much and more bust
ness today than they did a year ago,
and in the face of, perhaps, 80 per cent
depletion in the population of the
/ county. Cite Us 70 a town in the whole
of northwest Kansas that has mani
/ tested more interest for the welfare
and prosperity, and rendered more ma
! terial assistance in time Of need TO the
citizens of their county, than has
GOodiaRd for the citizens of our
county.
auu Nu nut bc4lEAC you VIII HLG Z
| reasonable man in the county who viii
deny that GoOdland has right through
on the average, paid more for the va
Tious farm products, maintained a bet
ter market, and sold goods cheaper
than neighboring towns While / do
/ not wish to be understood TO mean that
/ high enough prices are being paid
/ throughout the county for farm pro
ducts, everyone who can read are post
ed on the markets, and it is generally
admitted that our grain buyers and
shippers are paying for grain all that
the market wiz justify. st present
I there seems to be higher prices being
paid for wheat at neighboFing mills
/ However, as I do not understand the
milling business, I do not understand
the why for that.

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.

Edward Kernt, Prominent Business Man
of st. Francis, Dies Suddenly.
A special to the Atchison Champion
from st. Francis, says;
Edward Kernt, one of the best known
and popular business men in north
western Kansas, died suddenly on Mon
day, at 3 p. H., of apOlexy, at the Eagle
House at ST. Francis. His death came
Ikea shock and has cast a deep gloom
such as was never known here. His
many friends all over the west will
mourn his loss, for he had those rare
qualities of manhood that made and re-
tanned friends. As a business man he
was success and had few equals.
Edward KeTnt was born Jan. 6, 1864, at
Lansing, Ailamakee county, Ia, and at
his death was 81 years of age. He was
a member Of the wellknoWn grocery
firm of Kermit Bros, one Of the most
popular business houses in western
Kansas. His integrity and excellent
business ability did much to make the
* Store" famous. Ten years ago he
located at Bird City, Kan. He was at
Atwood, Kan, two years and has been
at ST. Francis for about a year, and has
built up a good trade. His brothers,
Charles and Gus, members of the firm
of Kernt Bros, will continue the bust
ness.

The City Dads Propose to Reduce the

The. City Dads Propose to Reduce the
Size Of Coal Bills.
The city council are now figuring on
the advantage to be gained by utilizing
wind power, as a means of lifting water
at the city Waterworks, as an adjunct
to steam.
The coal bills are enormous and can
hardly be met by the income from
water rent, even by the best Of fnan-
ceering, and the council realizes that
something viii have to be done to
create a parity between income and
outgo.
If is thought that 20-foot mill will
pump nearly enough water to keep the
city supplied and would pay for itself
in at least four months.
This is d feasible scheme and one
that should have been adopted long
ago. While not as sure as steam. wind
power is much cheaper, and by having
both steam and wind power at hand,
the WaterwOFks can be run at much
less cost than it is now, and no danger
Of lack Of water be- experienced as
sometimes happens when the water
supply depends entirely upon the ca
prices Of western breezes.

dedication this week. This famous
relic moved out of Atlanta on the
morning of April u, 1862, and was
seized by the daring Andrews raiders
30 miles beyond. The purpose of the
union raiders was to burn the bridges
leading to Chattanooga. In this they
failed because pursuit was too hot, and
after a Wild ride through the enemy's
country they we're obliged to abandon

The friends of Colonel George Brad

was terminated
Benjamin Means, jr., left will pro-
viding that when the suit be began
