BLOoM-LONkER-On Saturday even-
ing, July 2, 1898, Mr.. John V. Bloom and
Miss Nellie. JLonker assumed the vows
which made them husband and wife.
These young people need no recon-

lived among us long enough to be
known as two of the best citizens of
whom the county can boast. The
groom is a son of Mrs. and Mrs. r. v.
Bloom, of Mingona township. He is
successful farmer and stockman and
has been doubly paid for his industry
and energy. There is no man in Barber
county who is more worthy or capable of
providing for wife than John Bloom.
The bride is one of the best school
teachers of Barber county and her &C
complishments 10th socially and men,
tally can only be measured by her vir-
tues.
We extend to this deserving young
couple our hearty congratulations and
feel safe in saying that their pathway
through life will ever be strewn with
brilliants.

We this week welcome back to our
columns the advertisement of The H.
G. Waltner Mercantile Co.. of Kiowa,
Kansas. This house advertised with
US during the entire year of 1897 but
concluded to curtall expenses beginning
with the new year and the ADVERTISE
ment in the INDEX was therefore
dropped. 1t was not long, however, un-
til the effects of this curtailing were
felt and the company wisely concluded
to renew business with the county pa
per. The Waltner Mercantile Company
is recognized as one Of the big firms
west of Wichi ia and their reputation
has been gained for them principally
through extensive advertising and strict
business methods. In choosing the IN
DEx as a medium through which to
speak to the people Of Barber and
Woods counties they have shown excel
lent judgment and it is without any de-
sire to boast that we say that the re-
suits which are certain to follow will
convince them that advertising pays.

Prohibition VS.. Rum.

DEAR EDIToR-Again comes a howl
from the Cecil Democrat preaching for the
return of the rum mills to Cecil county.
The editor has dashed himself into fury
endeavoring to lasso the voters in the in

He would have it appear that the pro-
hibition law is but theory, dream, a
failure, delusion. | feel constrained to
break very rigid rule Of mine and defend
the prohibition cause as against the defend
ers of the rum mills.
III we can believe there is any just or
reasonable argument in the pen picture Of
the Democrat of July 8, we can believe
anything. If we can believe that men
should bargain away the good morals and
rights OF the community; if we can believe
that men should write and preach and in
dorse public nuisance to satisfy private

The nondoctors in the congress were
eager to add to their number, whereas

Laugh and grow fat, has long been
a homely adage, the merit of which
has not been disputed seriously even
by scientific minds or by the uniniti-
ated in the mysteries of hygiene. But
laugh and grow we'll is a new YER
sion of the ancient admonition, and it
will require, probably, much more than
the assurance of any French lights of
science, however accomplished profess

noting hilarity and good cheer, to
establish the principle that any seri-
Gus bodily ailment may be cured radi-
cally by a simple prescription of
laughter. For such a simple matter

FROM THE PAST.
A New Jersey Man Gets Trunk After
Forty-Four Years.

r. l.. Day, druggist Of Somerville,
N. Y, received by express Saturday
little, old-fashioned trunk, securely
locked and bound with time-worn
rope, which had been lost for forty
four years Half century ago, Mr..
Day lived with his parents on a 300
acre farm which is now a part of
South Orange. The homestead stood
where Seton Hall college now is.
When Mr. Day was a boy his par
ents decided to send him to boarding
school in New York state. His moth
err, who was i'll, did not expect to see
her son complete his education, and
she carefully prepared a trunkful of
useful articles, calculated to last him
for many years. Mrs. Day died before
her son started for school and the
trunk which she had prepared for him
was overlooked.
Mrs. Augustus Baldwin of South
Orange, who is an aunt of Mr.. Day, re-
Gently irenected an old house near the
site of the Day homestead.
There she found the lost trunk in an
unused room. The trunk was opened
today The linens were fresh and
white and each piece has Mr.. Days
name delicately embroidered upon it
nder his mothers initials.
The trunk also contained a collection
of silver and copper coins, some of
which have dates in 1900 and 100.
There were several gift books and
many other little tokens, such as a
mother would provide for son going
away to school. Mr.. Day now has
children who are much older than he
was at the time his mother prepared
the keepsakes of which he has remain
ed in ignorance for SO many years.

SUNDAY LAWS IN GERMANY

rhe German police regulations for
the outward sanctifcation OF Sunday
require that all articles offered for sale.
If not removed from their customary
places, shall be covered during the
church hour" Photographers who
exhibit specimens of their art in
frames outside their rooms provide the
frame with a blind, which is drawn
down during the time in which ex-
posture to the public gaze is unlawful,
says The London News The Berlin
police authorities have lately given
notice that the prohibition extends to
the newspapers in the various Trink-
hallen. AS Trinkhalle rarely con-
tains any article which can be used
as veil or curtain, the women who
sell the newspapers make use of old
newspapers to conceal the copies of
the latest editions. Hence the news
papers which are for sale lie hidden
for o while underneath the unsaleable
newspapers. The police regulations
for the sanctification q the Sunday
are thus sufficiently complied with,
as the police authorities have graci-
ously conceded thai yesterdays or last
week s journal is not considered BY
them 10 be an article for sale"

BLIND WOMAN FARMER.
Tills the Soil Herself and Clears $500
Each Season.

While women who farm are numer.
Gus in Illinois and in the other states
of the union, blind woman farmer is
seldom seen. There lives in Oak Hill
Tex, blind girl, who has from a few
acres of land, cultivated by herself
cleared about 5000 each season for sew
eral years by the growing and sale Of
vegetables. She began with no capital
and an unferced piece of uncultivated
land. There is now neat fence
about her domain, well and pump
in the center, and she has, in add-
ton to purchasing these, paid for a
piano and hack TO take her vegetables
to the market, which is twenty miles
from her home.
Every evening during the dry sea-
son she waters a certain number Of
plants until she has gone over the en-
tire place, when she begins and goes
over it again in the same way. The
active sense of hearing which nature
has given this blind girl in lieu of her
sight and by feeling with her sensitive
fingers she can distinguish the nature
and size of the plants and vegetables
she raises. She is familiar with all
kinds of vegetables and plants, knows
the size they should attain, the col
OF their hue and the shape they should
assume.
