With last week the publication
of the delinquent tax list is COM
pleted. The DEMOCRAT has not,
like many other county papers,
cut out other matter to make
room for this official matter. But
instead we have added two or four
pages during that time and gave
our patrons more reading than
usual. 1t will also be remem-
bered that, whether this paper
is the official county paper
or not, it always furnishes it's
readers with the official news. All
the news, all the time, for all the
people, is what makes people
like the DEMOCRAT.

Up TO last week there was no
call for the nomination of a can
didate for sheriff on the republi-
can ticket. The call for a con-
vention provided for the nominal
ton of candidates for all other
Offices to be filed this fall, but
left out sheriff. Last week the
owners of the Register (better
known as "the old repeater') de-
cided that their promises to Dick
johnson must be fulfilled, and
they had Andy put sheriff in the
call. Bro. O'Bleniss of Clafin
was given the tip, by that reg
ular correspondent from Great
Bend, and he also inserted sheriff
in the call. But the Great Bend
Tribune, Hoisington Dispatch,
Pawnee Rock Chieftain nor Elm
wood Leader-the other republi-
can papers in the county-evi-
IDENTIFY did not want anybody
nominated against d. G. Luse.
The editors of those papers were
level-headed on that matter.

A KANSAS boy in the Philippines
writes home that ''it's fine and glo-

we soldiers lead the lives of yellow

A Historic Shot.

! At Saratoga, the turning point of the
American revolution, the craftsmanship
| of Morgan's rifiemen virtually decided
the battle. Several times during this
engagement Colonel Morgan had no.
ticed a noble-looking officer of the
enemy, mounted upon a splendid gray
horse, dashing from one end of the
line to the other encouraging his troops
Morgan recognized the brave fellow as
an officer whose conduct he had admired
in the battle of the 18th of September.
1t was General Fraser, who was con-
sidered by the Americans a more skill
ful and dangerous leader than Bur-
goyne, and Morgan himself regarded the
issue of the contest doubtful as long as
Fraser remained in the saddle. Soon
after the action commenced General
Arnold who we'll knew Fraser's ability
sought out Morgan and said: THAT
officer upon the gray horse is a host in
himself He must be disposed of. Di-
rect the attention of some of your
sharpshooters to him. Morgan's gen.
erous instincts rebelled, but he saw the
necessity of performing the cruel duty.
War" as Macaulay says, lis never
lenient but where ii is wanton' Select
ing twelve of his best marksmen, he
posted them in a suitable position, and
pointing out the doomed warrior, said
to his men, He is brave fellow. but
he must die" Some Of the rifenen
climbed into trees to get better sight.
Among them was Tim Murphy, a re-
nowned scout from Northumberland
County, Pennsylvania, who, by means
of a double barrelled rife, then novel
~ had been uncommonly successful in
the Indian wars. The shot was very
difficult, for the distance was nearly
quarter of a mile. and the backwoods
rifles had no elevating sights The rifle
men rested their long pieces on the
forks of limbs and began firing. In a
moment the crupper of the gray horse
was cut by bullet. The next minute
another ball passed through the horses
name. An aide remarked to Fraser:
Sir, it is evident that you are marked
out for particular aim. Would it not be
prudent for you to retire from this
placer Fraser replied, My duty for
bids me to fly from danger" The next
moment bullet from Murphy's rifle
struck him through the body. and he
was carried mortally wounded from the
field.-Harper's Magazine

season opened here this afternoon with
two games between Cleveland and

the spectators believed he was out by
ten feet. The game probably will be
protested. Not more than 500 people
saw the two games.
