COMMISSIONERS WORK.

The commissioners adjourned extra
session last Wednesday. The principal
business of the meeting was to consid-
er bond matters but other business was
also transacted, among which the fol-
lowing is noteworthy:
w. H. McCague was allowed to re.
deem lots 1867, Central Ave. E. Hart.
zell's Add. to Medicine Lodge, for 500.
Commissioner Walker reported on the
Lake City bridge and j. w. Brown, the

Stewart & Chandler were allowed a
certificate of error for S23 6S on account
of ERRONEOUS assessment of cattle.

bielle's Add. to Med. Lodge for S25.
S. Il. Hardy was allowed to redeem
net SET 28-31-12 for $16.79.
1t seems that during the last four
years Clerks Lewis and Gaddie did not
write up the journal and ledger In the
county clerks Office fully and County
Clerk Holmes requested that some
means be devised to give him start
ing point to follow the old custom.
The board made the foil owing order
to bring matters to focus:
BE it ordered that F. A. Lewis be notified
that his books as county clerk, not being
brou2 ht up to the time of the expiration OF
his term of once as clerk of Barber county
Kan, that he be notified to have said books
brought up to the time aforesaid by the 7tt
day of March. 1885,
A similar order was directed to MIR
Gaddie who explains that he Is ready tc
bring UP his part of the work as soon
as his predecessor in Office complies
with the order of the board; that he
called the attention of the board to
this matter several times during hi S
term of Office but no action was taken
1t is merely form but forms are i'm.
portant In public Office.
No action was taken in the Cedar
township road matter. Hon. W. A.
Creighton appeared before the Board
in behalf of the petitioners but they
refused to go behind their January rul-
ing.

JOHN DILLON COMING.

That we are to have the fayorite
comedian, John Dillon, with US again
will be cheerful news to all who enjoy
hearty laugh and an evening of ex-
cellent entertainment. He is so well

notice of his coming is unnecessary.
Sufficient to say he will appear at the

February 25, in his new play, said to
be an excellent vehicle of amusement,
entitled ''Bartlett's Road to Seltzer-

Der county, to the amount of about
$4,000, and have failed and refused
to turn over the same to Harper county
which they might have learned was
unqualiiedly false if they had taken
the trouble to Investigate the records
in the county clerks Office, or taken
the trouble to come to me-
I'm December had Frank Hamilton
arrested for criminal libel with the re-
suit that he was acquitted on trial in
January. OF the trial and verdict I do
not care to say much. We proved the
facts have related above and 1 proved
that had both gone to the records and
to Mr.. Hamilton but the defense in
sisted that the jury should be Judge of
the law and the evidence and the YER
dict was adverse to me.
Frank Hamilton, however, has an
other suit on his hands. He has been
sued for the fees he has collected and
not accounted for to Harper county, to-
gether with $40 per day for each day he
has 80 failed as fine for failing to do
his duty. This money, when collected
will more than recompense the county
of Harper for the costs in my criminal
libel case.
The law contemplates that the sal.
aries of county officials shall be in full
recompense for all services performed.
and it stlpulates that county commits.
sioners shall not pay county clerks for
work, more than their regular salary.
The extra clerk hire must go to the
deputy.
Our people complain of high taxes.
am convinced that in Harper county
at least, that if leaks about the county
offices, such as occurred IN our county
clerks office under Frank Hamilton
can be stopped, we can reduce our tax
rate. and L, for one, propose to do all l
can to stop those leaks"

PATRoNIzE TIE sKIMMINa STATIC.
AT SHARON.

About March 1st we will locate a
skimmiDg station at Sharon and earn
estly solicit your patronage for 1t.
1t is after much inquiry from differ
ent parties and especially those who
have and are now patronizing the Haz-
elton station and the creamery at Har-
per, that we decide to make this invest
ment. While we do not think those
who patronize this station will find a
short OF an easy road to wealth, we
believe that considering the cheap feed
and grass and other advantages as a
cattle country that if you will give your
COWS careful attention you Will profit
by it. A monthly income that is sure
though it may not be large is better
than an annual income from q crop
which so often is not sure. Through
the month of January butter sold in
Sharon for from 10 to IL per ID and ex-
cepting few pounds to local trade the
price paid was invariably more than the
dealer realized
During the same month about $50
COWS were MIXED for the Hazelton sta
ton and according to the Hazelton Ex-
press the price paid for butter fat was
Isle Per Id and a total of $500 cash.
From May until September there is
virtually no market for butter in Shar-
on while the same station during the
same time when the milk supply is the
greatest, did not pay less than Ii cents
per 10 for butter fat. AS an evidence
that other people are beginning to real
lZe the worth of a skimming station.
we cite you to Kiowa. The citizens of
that town subscribed $3.50 and the
farmers $50 TO fund to be offered to
some one who will locate a station
there. At Nashville the farmers and
citizens have formed a stock company
and will put in station soon.
Inquire of the Harper creamery or of
citizen there and he is pretty sure to
tell you that it has done more toward
putting business there on a cash basis
than any number of successive crops.
Donot hold back your patronage be-
cause some old creameries went broke
few years and left some checks I'M
paid. Some men in all business will
fail while others succeed.
Your cream will be sold to the Harper
Creamery Co. who will send you a
check on the 18th of each month. You
will be paid as much for it as if you
were there. No charge for freight or
express.
We have made this investment be-
Heylng that it Will benefit this COM
munity. We believe that it will help
those who need help and others like
wise. VIM. RULE 81 Son.

We regret to notice that our old
friend and predecessor, Clark c. Hud-
son, IS embarrassed with a receiyership
on his plant, the Oklahoma represent
alive. A breach OF contract on the
part OF Fred Bailey brought on the diff
ficulty, or in other words, Bailey did
not stand up to his agreement made at
the time Mr.. Hudson bought the paper.
This same Bailey was at one time chair
man of the POpullst congressional COM
mittee of this district and 1t was when
acting In that capacity that he estab-
lished an unenviable reputation as a
profound rascal and an unmitigated
scoundrel. We hope Mr.. Hudson will
soon be on a sound business basis.

T. A. Noftzer, the attorney whom the
republicans of Harper county crowned
with imaginary fame on account of his
being retained by the defense in the
Hamilton libel suit, came over from
Anthony on Monday evening and re-
NAMED until today. During most OF
the time he was in conference with the
republican leaders, with headquarters
at the Cresset office. and, we are told
gave the inside facts 10 connection
with the details of the trial. There is
one thing, however, about which we
will venture he said little or nothing
and that is as to what occurred when
he, Hamilton, Bodley and the judge pre-
tenn went into the county clerks Office
together and turned the lock. after 9
late hour at night.
