An exchange says that when u pastor
wants III announcement he goes 20 the
local paper. When the ladies want no.
tice of n church supper published they
go to the local paper. When Il secret
society gives a banquet, it goes 10 the
local paper for write-up. When pO-
litical party issues call or holds a meet
ing. it calls on the local paper for pub
licity. When an obituary OF some loved
one is wanted in print, the local paper is
called. Society in general turns to the
local paper for written detail of all its
movements. In fact, Il thousand other
things are expected of the local paper,
and yet some people do not want to sub
scribe for their local poper and some do
not want to pay for after they have re-
ceived it weekly for several years. Some
merchants do not advertise because. they
say, s'nO one reads the weekly paper"
and yet if one of their children should
die they would never forgive the paper
that refused to publish nice obituary.
The people read the free notices, it
seems. but if anyone has to pay for a
notice, why of course the people don't
read that. Funny, isn'tit?

Charles G. Bassett, well known TO the
old residents of Dodge City, died in Hot
Springs, Ark, on Sunday last. of in
f1ammatory rheumatism. Bassett was
city marshal of Dodge City. and for two
years sheriff of Ford county, in the
seventies. Some years ago. he went to
Kansas City and engaged in the saloon
business, but failed in this business. The
Kansas City Star gives sensational ac-
count Of his life and service in Dodge
City. Bassett was not the ''bad man"
the Star pictures HIM. but he was cool
and fearless officer. He had some good
traits Of character, and was peaceable
man. His later life WAS devoted to sport.
ing matters. He was born in New Bed

Barns Burned.

The barn and out houses adjoining r.
D. Clampett's residence were burned to
the ground Sunday afternoon. The fire
alarm was given about four o'clock and
the FIRE company and large number of
citizens were promptly on the ground.
The residence of Mr.. Clampett took fire
but by the efforts of the fire company the
building was saved. The barn on the l..
E. McGarry place, together with large
quantity of hay belonging to 8. j. Kin
kead, was also destroyed. Adjoining
buildings were in danger from the flames,
but were saved through the timely action
of citizens. Had the wind been blowing
at the time the fire would have spread
and it would have been impossible
to save some residence houses.
The furniture was removed from Mr..
Cla,npett's house. The origin Of tho fire
is unknown. The supposition is that it
occurred through the action of some
careless boys smoking cigarettes. There
was small insurance on the Clampett
property.

Richard Nichols, a brakeman, running
out of here on train 35, Sunday evening,
Gus Guthrie, conductor, WAS accidentally
killed at Lamar, Colo, at about IL O'Clock
Sunday night. He was knocked off the

as an exemplary and industrious man,
sober and honest. He was about 80 years

the thief rode over into Ford county
