Austin, Texas, fepruhry 1, lo'h i
CAPTAIN J. Farley. chairman of the
Dallas freight bureau, complains In the
columns Of a North Texas paper that
he has been misrepresented ana mis-
quoted in The Post, and that unnecessary
and unwarranted stress has been laid
upon the notice he recently served upon
the railroad commission. that he had de-
cidtd 10 cut Its acquaintance
He is also uggrieyed because his letter
to the commissioners, conveying that no.
tice. was not published in fun. and pro-
cec,ls to give extracts therefrom winch
apparently tend towards supporting his
plaint that he has been unfairly treated.
So far as the publication OF the COM
municaton referred to is concerned that
is matter for the commissioners aud Mr..
Farley to settle between themselves ana
It Is more thnn likely that il Mr.. Farley
Is agreeable the former are quite willin-
to turn II loose. II 1t is ever printed In

set for the meeting Of the committee to
consult with the county attorney in
reference to plan for compromisin g
with the bonholders who hold papers
against the county. Only a few of
those who were appointed by the COM
missioners to meet with the couney at
torney took sufficient interest in the
matter to be present. The only man
outside of Medicine Lodge to be pres
ent was J. D. Fair. OF Sharon. From
what consultation County Attorney
Beals has had in the matter he has de-
cided to withdraw the Injunction now
pending and advise the commissioners
to cease paying interest until oompro-

lowing preamble and resolutions we.e

in humble submission to the will of our
Merciful Saviour, we do not the less
mourn the loss of our brother who has

Resolved, that in the death of Willis
j. Burket this lodge laments the loss of
q brother who was ever ready to proffer
the hand of aid and the voice of sympa-
thy to the needy and distressed of the
fraternity, an active member of the So
ciety, whose utmost endeavors were ex-
tended for it's welfare and prosperity, a
friend and companion who was dear to
us all, a citizen whose upright and no.
BILE life was standard of emulation to
his fellows.

tons be furnished to the family of the
deceased brother, copy sent to the

SIMPSON By Acc1AMATIoN.
He was Nominated by the Populists
and Democrats last Saturday.
No Other Candidate Before
the Convention.

Last Saturday afternoon Hon. Jerry
Simpson was made the unanimous
choice OF the Peoples party of the Sew
enth district for congressman. Prior
to the convention there was shown a
disposition on the part of some to favor
the nomination of new man but the
majority favored Mr.. Simpsons renom-
ination and on Saturday their wish was
carried into effect.
b. E. Kies was made permanent
chairman of the convention.
Uncle Billie Brown, of Sharon valley,
this county, placed Mr.. Simpson In
nomination and on motion the rules
were suspended and Hon. Jerry Simp-
son was nominated unanimously.
On the same day the democratic con-
vention of this district assembled at
Larned and endorsed Mr.. Simpsons
candidacy also by reclamation and bis
election, with the combined strength of
POpulists and democrats is assured.
