DEATH OFa. n. RICK

DIED-At his home near Lake CITY.
Friday night at 10 O'Clock, April 10
1886, II. n. Buck aged &c years, 3
months and 10 days.
The cause of his death was internal
injuries received from a fall from a
load of cane seed on Friday the 3rd
inst. Like IN the case Of another death
we are called on to report this week.
his death was not expected and was a
complete surprise. Mr.. Buck suffered
lmmeasurabie pain the last few hours
of his life and death must certainly
have been a relief.
The funeral was held on Sunday af-
ternoon at 3 O'Clock, DIR. Hutchinson
officiating at the family residence and
9. w. Owens at the grave. The re-
mains were inferred in the Lake City
cemetery.
Mr.. Buck was one of Barber's best
! citizens, a substa ntial farmer of Lake
City township and we'll known in the
western part of the county. His death
is mourned and deplored by all who
knew him. He leaves wife and six
children one of whom is Mrs. F. A.
Lewis of this city, to mourn him. All
except one were in attendance at the
funeral, and that one, being resident
of Chatauqua county, arrived day
later because of his inability TO get
here sooner after receiving the sad
news.
The oyer work and worry of Mrs.
Buck, wife of the deceased, was more
than she could withstand and she. too.
Is very sick at this time, but it is the
hope of all that she may soon recover.
The friends, relatives and family of
the deceased have the undivided SYM
pathy Of all in this sad and unfortun-
ate accident and death.

Mr.. and Mrs. Davenport of near
Medicine Lodge were shopping in the
city last Saturday.-Kiowa Review.
The Review carries about five and
one-half columns of home advertising
and the INDEX carries two. By look
ing over the columns of this paper you
wouldn't know that there is such a
thing as dry goods and clothing house
in Medicine Lodge. Is it any wonder
that people within stones throw OF
the city go to Kiowa to buy their
goods? They know they can get some.
thing for their money because the pa.
pers tell them so.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The mayor and councilmen elected
on the 9th inst, met on Wednesday ev
ening and were sworn in by a. L. No.
BILE then city mayor, except Mayor
Schmidt who took the oath of office
subsequently. The council then adj
journed until Saturday evening when
they met, elected E. LII. Nixon presi.
dent of the council and confirmed the
following appointments submitted by
Mayor Schmidt: City marshal and wa
ter works superintendent, George w.
Horney; city clerk. Lille Murphy; city
treasurer, Carrie Carmichael; superin-
tendent of ditch and pumping STATEN,
VIM. Axtell. The Office of city attor-
hey will probably remain vacant during
the year since the traffic does not
seem to demand an officer of that COM
plexion.
The appointees are different persons
from those of the old administration
excepting Miss Carmichael who still
retains her position as city treasurer.
So far as we have heard the appoint
ments give general satisfaction and the
defeated ones have placidly resigned to
fate aud accepted the inevitable very
grac efuly. The principle, ITO the
Victor belong the SpoiIs." has not
been entirely forgotten and 1t is one of
the Jacksonian principles that promises
to live forever and it is not seldom that
it manifests itself in city politics.
The council will hereafter meet on
the first Wednesday evening of each
month at 7:30 p. N.
