A Candid Acknowledg

The republicn party changes ideas
and meohods to meet present needs.
-Clafin Clarion.
OF COURSE it does. "Present needs"
always meaning the "needs" to get al
the pie counter-not the needs of the
country, or the masses. Republicans
changed their ideas in night, after
the notional convention in 1896, be,
cause they we're in "need" of the sup
port of the gold bugs. While the
Clarion and many other republican
papers are today feebly denouncing
the rapidly increasing trust blight
that party will be taught, through
the influence of the money of these
same trusts, that they :need' tn'
trusts. a year ago the republican
administration, for which the re-
publican party is sponsor, was talking
about the Monroe doctrine, the con-
stitution aud the wicknedness an(
non-American ideas of a war of con
quest; but today through the infaenc,
of the same goldstsndard none,
power. that party is urging the con.
tinuation of a war upon the weakling
in the PHILIPPINES, claiming that thii
country "needs' more cheap men
more bonds, more debts. more in
sterest to pay and more of a standing
army Yes, the republican party i
great on changing IDEAS"

Golden Wedding.

May IS, 1899. goodly number OF
the friends and neigh bors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hays, of Fairview township.
gathered at their home to celebrate
their 5ti wedding anniversary. They
came in to the number Of about so.
It rather surprised the old couple, as
the crowd overrrl the capacity of the
house. The day was a beautiful
Kansas day. and with the jovial and
most amiable disposition of the old
couple they ali had good social and
enjoyable time. The ladies brough.
we'll filled baskets; the table groaned
with the good things to eat. The
young ladies officiated at the tables,
and it made the old couple think OF
so years ago. The children of Mr..
and Mrs. Hays being scattered in a
good many states. it was impossible
to get them sll together. Three
children and three grand children
were present In MIR. and Mrs. Hays,
at their advanced age, having lived
three-score years, We can only see
another of the commands of God; he
who lives according to His laws and
keeps His statutes will be beloved in
their life as we'll as in the life to come
He lived temperate and totally
abstemious life; he is yet lively and
spry at such an age. Mr. and Mrs.
Hays have the wishes of their many
friends that they may live to enjoy
many more years together.

The New, Od;n Church.

What is said to be the finest church
e6ifce in the county, and the west
half of the state for that matter, was
dedicated at Odin, in the north pari
of Cheyenne township, Tuesday, the
23d. A large crowd was in atten>
dance, estimated at about 500 people,
although the day promised in the
morning to be rainy one. The build
ing is of cut Limestone. of gothic archi
itecture and massive il all details.
The interior is most elegantly finished
in the latest designs of column and
arch, with magnificent sacr issy
reception rooms, etc.
Bishop Hennessey, of Wichita,
delivered the dedicatory address. and
those who had the pleasure of hear'
ing him pronounce the address most
pleasing and instructive. The Bishop
is an orator, and possesses all the
attributes of an earnest, able and un-
firing exponent OF Christ end his
teachings.
This magnificent stiucture, raising
its spire to the high heaYens from out
the rolling prairies of a purely agri-
cultural territory is splendid monu.
ment to the sturdy manhood. the fru.
gal husbandry and good citizenship of
the people OF Cheyenne township, and
all of Barton county is proud of it.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT
had arranged, in company with
Messrs. Breeden, Fits and Brodie, to
attend the ceremonies; but we regret
much that we let the Tuesday morn
ing rain deter us from the trip. The
church is located % miles north, and
little east, of Great Bend, in the
center of one of the best farming por.
tions of Barton county.

4 Cutting Affray.

On Saturday evening last, cutting
scrape occurred at Pawnee Rock, in
which one man was pretty badly used
up. It seems that Sylvester Riggs aud
Louis Bauer, two young men. got into
dispute about week ago. at a plcnic.
Saturday evening they met again in
Pawnee Rock and the quarrel was re
newed. Bauer slapped Riggs, when
Riggs drew knife and began cutting
his opponent. One knife wound was
in the left side, near the heart. one cut
on the head, and one hand was badly
cut.
Deputy Go. Atty Clarke was tele-
graphed for Monday morning, and
Riggs was placed under arrest, the ex-
