A Notable Parlor Meeting.

The occasion of the meeting was the
coming of Miss Minnie Johnson, the
state evangelist of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, to Medicine
Lodge. The place was in Mrs. Houchin g
parlors. The time was last Friday
afternoon. There were present the
members of the local union and several
visitors, including few men. There
was short programme. Some speech
making, and some excellent music, in
GLIDING an instrumental duet by Mrs.
Shaw and Miss Simmons, and vocal
duet by Mrs. Reutlinger and Miss Belts.
Refreshments we're served after which
we listened to very brief but excel
lent address by Miss johnson and then
we returned to our homes satisfied that
few people ever spent a pleasanter
afternoon than had been given to us
by the ladies of the w. G. Il, U. so ably
led on this occasion by Mrs. Shaw, the
superintendent of parlor work and Mrs.
Houchin, our hostess. A substantial
increase in the membership Of the local
union was one of the results of this not
able meeting. AN INVITED GUEST.

There is no comparison between for
mer editions. and this splendid Alma
nae for 1900, now ready. Printed in
beautiful coiors, on much finer paper,
its 1876 pages are packed with iRyalu-
able information on storms, astronomy
and meteorology. 1t is illustrated
with nearly 200 finest half tones and
other engravings. This superb book
would sell any where for fifty cents, but
it costs ONLY 25cts copy, and every
subscriber to Rev. Irl r. Hicks now
famous paper. WORD AND WORKS, at
$l.00 year, receives this elegant AL
manac as a premium. WORD AND
WORKS is recognized leader among
the best family and scientific journals,
while nothing of Its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dollar
year is nominal price for such
unique and useful publications. Pro
fessor Hicks has justly, and Of necessi-
ty, withdrawn his storm and weather
forecasts from all free almanacs, having
generously given his time and labor
free for nearly twenty years. Word

MIR. Luke is resident of Woods
county, Oklahoma, and is said to have
record la Pinkerton. He has been
here for the past three or four weeks
passing himself off as cattleman and.
It is said, worked himself into the good
offices of some OF our stockmen while
he was looked upon by others with sus
piciOn. He IS also reputed TO be Free
Methodist preacher. AT any rate he
seems to have gotten his work in on
Uncle Ben and has since made himself
scarce. 1t Is claimed that the $50 re-
ward offered by the w. e. L. u. is what
he is striving for. The trial promises
to be interesting.

On Saturday T. G. Clark brought a
damage action against Best Brothers
and Company FOR 81. 500 90, on account
of injuries received in bias ting in the
gypsum quarry two years ago. The
ground on which the suit is based is

used an iron rod whereas the law pro-
vides that the tamping end shall he
wood or copper. The plaintiff claims
5000 for the loss of his right eye, $500
for injuries To the left eye. $1,000 for
general injuries and for pain, agony
and incapacity for work for a period OF
several months, and 1900 for injuries
received In the spine. The accident &C.
Cured November 10. 1897. and the suit
was brought the last day it could have
been brought under the law. Ellis, Ell
lis and Martin represent the plaintiff.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

EDS. INDEX. It is but fitting and
Fight that We 81 olld express through the
columns OF your paper our gratitude for
the earnest support given us-by the
committeeman and loyal Populists
and democrats all over the county dur.
ing the campaign OF 1899. While we
went down TO defeat. We have the sat
IsfactIon of knowing that no stone was
left unturl,ed in making a clean, ag-
gressive campaign, and not a single dol
lar was used to corrupt or influence a
single voter. We especially desire to
thank the earnest and active PopulIsts
and democrats of Kiowa, Hazelton and
all the country precincts, for their god
work. The returns from these sources
were better than anticipated and it re
fleets nothing but credit on the rank
and file of the reform forces. Tie de
feat of the ticket was virtually tie
work of the opposition in Medicine
Lodge and it was accomplished by
methods and circumstances over which
We had no control. About the methods
employed. we care tn say little. They
are well understood py the public. Suf-
flee it to say that the charges made
against POpulists and democrats rela-
tive to campaign methods have been
proven false.
To those Populists and democrats.
If any such there be. who desired the
l.l
avenge themselves because of n per-
sonal grievance, we can cay that the
end you sought has been accomplished
and it is our earnest hope that you will
bury all personalities and join with us
in the next campaign.
1t is customary to dwell at length ON
causes leading to defeat, by the unsuc-
cessful patty, but We do not care to
tbeorize to any great extent. We might
say, however, that one of the principal
arguments used against the head of our
ticket was that be served the county in
the capacity Of sheriff two terms, is a
man of considerable means and did not
need the office, while the republican
candidate had served but one term and
Was financially embarrassed. This ap.
pealed to the sympathy of the voters
and had an effect. The influence of
CONGRESSMAN Long and a certain feder-
al appointee i'll this city 10 also patent to
all. That the overwhelming majoritiss in
Medicine Lodge and Sharon townships
were due to their personal efforts is
conceded by friend and foe alike.
In the near future we will call a
meeting of the committee to perfect an
organization for 1900. and we hope ev-
cry committeeman and all other POpu-
lists who can, will attend. Normally,
Barber county is not republican coun-
ty. There should be no discourage
ment or lack of energy OH our part, and
we will win the day in 1900 if we do our
duty.
In conclusion, we desire to urge an
undivided support OF the INDEX.
Messrs. Painter & Herr have always
given the ticket their loyal support and
have certainly done their work we'll.
Without q paper we could do nothing
and it should be remembered that it is
no little task to maintain . paper in
this sparsely settled country when it is
shut out from all official patronage and
where the members of the party whose
principles it promulgates. consist
largely of the poorer class of people.
Respectfully, II
JOHN MCGREGoR, Chairman.
F. M. SHELL, Secretary.
