Just to show the people how strong
Mr.. Axline was in his efforts to save
the taxpayers money on the county
printing we cite the fact that the city
council of Medicine Lodge asked for
bids on city printing recently and the
Cresset bid higher on that work than il
offered to do the county printing for.
The INDEX got the work. In four or
five years the Cresset man may have a
chance to prove to the people of this
county that he is in favor of doing the
work for glory. If he does ever get the
chance We wonder whether he will
prove it. :. .Rey. Parker of the Lodge
and Rev. Rarrick Of Attlca were in the
city Monday in the interest of the Ep-
worth League convention to be held at
the Lodge on June 10th. Hon. T. p.
Wilson returned home Sunday from
the Panhandle, where he had been af-
ter more cattle. He returned to Texas
yesterday and will close a large deal
there tomorrow. The stock will be
brought to Barber county and fattened
for the eastern markets. A. T. and T.
p. Wilson already own large herds of
cattle and are still reaching for more.
They are both energetic, live men and
deserve success In all their undertak-
ings.-Kiowa Review.

Judge Potes met with an accident on
Friday night of last week but FORUM
ately was not seriously injured, While
crossing Spring creek returning from
the pasture in which he keeps his cow,
the plank which was used as a temper
airy bridge broke In two and the Judge,
milk, pale aud all went ''kersplash" In
to the mud and water. Uncle John
sunk in waist deep and it is a mystery
even to himself how he ever got out
without assistance. He was pretty
well shaken up and felt sore several
days afterwards but now that it is all
over he can laugh as much as anybody,
at his own expense. The next time he
crosses by the means of a plank he
won't cross. he'll take the bridge.

A nice girl baby came to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Luallen on Sunday
May 30th. DR.. Kociell introduced the
young lady to the friends and relatives
and she is now the mistress of the
household. John has already had ex-
perience in walking the floor at mid
night and his time is very we'll occu-
pied. Uncle Jim Smythe and Sam Lu-
allen are taking care of the bakery and
restaurant without Johns assistance
just now and they are guarding the
cigar case with exceeding jealousy.

Is Medicine Lodge going to celebrate
the Fourth of July this year? If SO,
there is no time for mapping. This city
is better equipped with surround ng
groves than any in the Southwest and
yet we have not celebrated the Fourth
for several years. A number of our
citizens have expressed desire for a
big time this year and the matter ought
to be pushed. Why don't the repre-
sentative business men of the city take
hold and go to work?

On the first day of July the bill per-
uniting the printing and use of private

advertisement conspicuously displayed

make work for the printer. The bill is
approved by the postoaice department,
as it tends to popularize postal cards.
besides effecting q saving to the govern
ment of the difference between the
costs of the cards and the stamps.-Ex.

Schmidt s. Gano. proprietors of the
city meat market and grocery store on
South Main street, closed doors on
Thursday of last week and turned their
stock of goods over to Geo. w. Horney
trustee, under chattel mortgage in
favor OF preferred creditors. The goods
were invoiced on Friday and aggregat-
ed 1919. Trustee Horney is now sell
ing the goods at retail and will contin-
ue to do so until they are exhausted
unless he can sell reasonably in a lump.
The meat market is being operated by
Il. s. and S. 1. Field independent of the
grocery department. We deplore this
stroke of adversely in our business cir
cles. Messrs. Schmidt s. Gano engaged
in the goocery and meat business some
thing over a year ago and started in
well. But when the fire caught them
last year they lost heavily. They had
a good location and when they moved
away from the business center trade
fell off, and this combined with their
liberality in doing an extensive credit
business, had damaging effect.

WHAT A SHEEP?

Sheep is an animal that stands round on a
farm or ranch and grows wool for Q living.
A sheep is supplied with an overcoat which is
guaranteed to be all Wool. by nature. The
gentle farmer buncoes the sheep out OF this
overcoat in the spring. The sheep does not
get feeced out Of the overcoat withouta kick,
but loses it through SHEAR necessity. It's a
case of genuine 'sheep clothing'-original
and never initiated. During the winter of 1856
some very accommodating sheep had time to
grow some clothes for some young men. 1t
took time for the original wool to go from the
farmer-milEcl clothing maker-waltner-but
it got here all made up. When you think of
all the trouble it takes to get up suit and the
number Of people who make profit on 1t be-
sides the sheep, one often wonders how cloth
ing can be sold 80 'sheep."

The Memorial exercises were attend
ed very largely on Saturday. G.. M.
Martin of this city delivered the adj
dress of the day. We have heard his
speech highly commended by number
Of the veterans and many others who
were in attendance. His speech was
suited to the occasion; he did not drift
into partisanship as has become custom
airy for many to do on such an occasion,
but adhered strictly to the text. As a
matter of fact when G.. M. gets down to
business he can do the oratorical act on
most any occasion and it is only doing
him justice to say that he is a better
hand at the task than great majority
of those whom it has become the GUS
tom TO import. After the exercises at
the opera house were concluded the
Knights of Pythias lodge marched in
company with the veterans and citizens
to the cemetery where flowers were
strewn IN abundance on the graves of
the depe rted heroes. At night Col. T.
j. jackson, OF Newton, lectured on the
L - i AAlOW uttSodSlCs wi. y dChoO4 COLl-
manded colored regiment in the south
in behalf of the Union and his company
800 in number-were brutally MUIR
dered by the rebels. Only fourteen
were left to tell the tale. The lecture
as it touched directly on the Ft. Pillow
scenes and incidents was especially in
teresting. The INDEX is glad to note
the fact that the citizens of Medicine
Lodge and vicinity take such an active
interest in Memorial day exercises.
The heroes of the late civil war can not
remain with us always and it is right
that we should do them honor while
they are here.

The Kansas City World of May 25th,
contains the following mention with
reference to an accident which happen
ed on Sunday Of last week to the wife
and child of G. f. Wainscott, who was
formerly resident of this city and
who has friends and acquaintance
here at this time:
C.E. Wainscott, one of the most popu-

yards people today. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Wainscott decided to take
his wife and baby for drive about the

after several plunges the animal broke
away, dashing down the street turning
corners and finally throwing Mrs. Vain
scott and baby into a rock quarry. Mrs.
Wainscott is very seriously injured.
The bones of both legs are fractured,
one arm is broken in two places, and
the jaw is fractured. The baby was in

TROLLEY-CAR COLLISION.
Both Motermen Killed and Several
Others Injured.

Others Injured.
Baltimore, Nov. 23.-Because Theo-
dore R. Myrick, a motorman in tge
employ of the Baltimore & Northern
railway, disobeyed orders, the officers
of that road say, there was frightful
head-end collision this morning on the
line, in which Myrick was killed and
w. F. Horner, motorman ON the car
which was going in the opposite direc-
tion, received injuries from which he
died about half an hour later. The
two conductors and passengers who
were on both cars were more or less in
jured, although the injuries of none of
them are supposed to be dangerous.
Those seriously hurt are:
Conductor Thomas Ewing, aged 58,
and Charles Snowden, colored. aged 30
years. Ewing is suffering from a
slight conclusion of the brain, and is
badly bruised on the head, face and
body. Snowden's cheek was lacerated
by broken glass, and he received several
cuts on the head. His chin was cut to
the bone, and there is deep cash in
his neck. Both of these men are at the
hospital, and both will recover, unless
complications develop.
