Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1899-03-31

ALL the counties in Kansas, with
two or three exceptions, assesses at
about one third actual value. If the
assessors of Great Bend and Barton
county desire to assess at full value
in accordance with the plain provis-
ion of the law-they can do 30 and
let the couHty and towns receive the
benefit of the full valuation. The
State board can be asked to, and I'M
doubtedly will, reduce the valuation
for state taxes to conform with the
valuations in other counties, and we
viii not have to pay more than our
just proportion of state taxes. This
should be done, and we hope that, in

that he will have no "hobbies" as
mayor. will have made no pledges
that he would do things to involve
the city in litigation and expense, and
that he would take personal pride in
seeing that public money be economi-
cally expended; that equal justice be
meeted out to all, and that no i'm.

Citizens ticket are such men. If, on
the other hand. set of city officers
are elected for the sole purpose of
waging war upon the saloons; in
volving the city and county IN endless
turmoil and expense; then the city
would take long step backward.

Great Bend at least, it will be done.

The Beacon promises all sorts of
reform" if the so-called 'loip ticket
is elected. Last year they succeeded
in electing their ''loil" marshal on the
same promises, and this is what the
Beacon says about the way the ''loil
marshal enforces the law:
IF the marshal knew that some men
intended to rob bank or store he
would station an officer to catch the
robbers; but he does not use the same
means to catch the men who are
breaking the law every day in this
city. Elect the Loyal ticket and this
will be done, and the perpetrators will
have to go.
HE Beacon says ''somebody has
fabricated" concerning the Hotel

and to make the saying good, repeats
the statement that we signed the report
as postmaster" Yes, somebody has
fabricated'-lied in fact, and that
somebody writes editorials for the
Beacon. For once, in this case, the
Beacon is correct.
BOB INGERsoLL, the Atheist, is
opposed to Bryan for president in
1900. Bob is opposed to many good
things, such as the teachings of the
bible for instance. Then too, Bob
is republican, and republicans gen.
orally do not want to see Bryan pitted
against Mckinley again.

DEATH WHILE HUNTING.
Fatal Thanksgiving Accident One
Farmer Believes in Tobacco.

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, N. c., December 2.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Cave
ness summoned a jury of inquest 30
investigate the death of Louis Goodwin
a negro, son of Wesley Goodwin, living
a short distance west of the water
works.
Goodwin and three other coIored lads,
Adams, Howell INT Thomas, were out
hunting, Adams carrying a Winchester
rifle; and about midday the last three
vent to Godwin's house with the news
that Louis had killed himself. The
neighbors found his dead body, and,
alongside Of it, his gun with the load
in the barrel. This gave rise to sus-
picion of foul play, but evidence at the
inquest developed the fact that Adams,
having killed a bird, went into the
swamp to secure it, leaving his Win
chester in the hands of Goodwin, who,
in examining it, discharged It's contents
into his own body.
All in all, the tobacco season has been
very satisfactory in this section. The
writer was informed this morning by
one of the best farmers in Cumberland
county that, acre for acre, he had
made more money on tobacco this year
thar he ever made on cotton in all his
experience. He intends to add greatly
to his acreage ext season.

Farm, Where He Was Physician I'm
Charge Remains Carried to Raleigh.

The northbound Wilmington and
Weldon train. which left Wilmington
at $50 o'clock Friday evening, ran
over and killed DR.. Thomas F. Nixon,
physician in charge OF the convicts on
the Castle Hayne state farm The

passed over DIR. Nixcn's head. COM
pletely crushing the skull back of the
forehead. The only other injury to the
bo'1y was a cash over the left eye and
another cash under the other eye.
Death was evidently instaneous.
A c~oroner's inquest was held yester-
day., the verdict being that the deceas-
ed came to his death by being run
over h a locomotive. No blame is at
tached TO the railroad employees.
The investigation showed that DR..
Nixon came to Wilmington on Friday
and started to walk back to Castle
Hayne on the railroad rack. 1t is pre-
sumed that he sat down by the rack
to rest and fell asleep with his head
resting against the rail-, so that when
the train passed the wheels crushed the
skull.
AS soon as the discovery of the body
was reported by William Smith, who
is an aged negro, the coroner was noti-
fed and the inquest held. The Jury
was composed of Mr.. James Cowan
