NEW SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT
Two English Doctors Will Spend the
Summer on the POntine Marshes.

LONDON. May 5.--The government
Of Great Britain this week sent two
men to the deadliest spot on earth,
with instructions TO stay there all
summer and see If they can keep them
selves alive. If they return, the most
fatal disease next to consumption will
be at the mercy Of science.
The men who risk their lives are Dr.
sambon and DR.. Lowe. Of the School
OF Tropical Medicine. attached to the
Colonial office.
The disease they are going to inves-
tigate is malarlal fever, which kills
more people annually than cholera, bu-
bonic plague or any other scourge save
consumption.
The most ready spot selected is the
Roman Campagna, where no man can
stay on a summer night without con-

DR.. Lyman Abbott, who succeeded
Henry Ward Beeeher to the editorial
chair of the Outlook, the leading relig-
lous magazine of America, is strong
believer in municipal ownership. He
recently expressed his views in this lam
guage:
Il am heartily in favorof municipal
ownership of street railways The ex-
perience of Manchester and Glasgow
abroad has shown what may be done
under right conditions; but we have
another illustration nearer home, and
III some respects, more convincing.

1T IS patent to every candid mind IA
mlliar with republican methods, that
what this paner has at different times
said relative to the manner in which
republican delegates are selected. con.
sisted of unvarnished, cold facts. Two
years ago the convention was not even
permitted to select the delegates on &C.
count of fear that some opposition
might develop, to the machines pro.
gram, and we'll rchearsed committee
was commissioned to do the work
Other instances could be cited to show
that what has been said by us touching
on this is true, but we have even better
evidence than than. 1t affords US great
satisfaction to publish the following
from the KiOwa News whose editor is
republican and who knows as much
of the inside workings of the party as
any man In Barber county. He has
presided over more cOveutions and
served longer on the republican county
central committee than any republican
in the county and was o candidate for
representative when the party was
hopelessIy in the minority and received
a larger vote than either Mckinley or
the state ticket Everyb body will con.
cede that the editor of the News knows
whereof he speaks. Here is what he
SAYS!
The experience We had IN the past
fourteen or more years as a member of
the rep. co. central committee and es.
peeial friend of Chester Z. Long
leaves no doubt in our MUD that the
former methods of calling and holding
republican delegate-conventlons are
closely followed by the present mana
gers of the machine, Ind with q blush
on our republican cheeks VS. must ad-
init that the INDEX hits the nail
squarely on the head and leaves no ifs
and ands about it. To presume for a.
moment that the republican managers
at this Lodge have not already decided
on who shall be named by the conyen-
tion as delegates, and who shall really
be on hand at the convention aud have
their votes cast as Chester may direct,
is impossible for anyone. except some
of the blind ROBINS of the political
bailiwick.'

AN UNJUST lNsINUATIoN.

In noticing Hon. /. p. Campbell's
visit to our city. last week, the Cresset
goes out of its way to iDjure him. and
cast an unfair reflection on the INDEX,
in the following little item:
az. P. Campbell, of Wichita. candidate for
the fusion nomination for congress in this
district, was in the city this week and secured
from the INDEX"
If we did not understand the purpose
of the lie embraced we would pay no
attention to it, but to correct any in
preston that it may leave. we want to
say that the editor of the Cresset
knows at this moment that his state
ment relating to a promise" is one of
the most ridiculous lies he ever told,
and that Is putting it rs strong as the
English language will permit. We
want it understood that personally we
have no choice of candidates for any
office, and that whatever is said In
these columns relative to nominations
is said only so far as we are interested
in the success of the party and our de-
sire to see reform principles made a
part of the organic law.
There are those in the Peoples party
In this county who, unfortunately and
without cause, have prejudice
against the INDEX, and the Cresset's
article is circulated for the purpose of
throwing cold water On Mr.. Campbell's
candidacy, by trying to inject us into
the campaign, and it is for that reason
that we hasten to say that Mr.. Camp
bell, during his short visit here, spent
very short part of his time in this of
ice or in our presence. He Is strang
er to US and we have no personal feel
ing IN the matter at all, and only desire
to have the liberty of saying that we
believe that he would be the right man
to nominate because of his location,
superior ability and strict honesty.
We desire to add, for the benefit of
those who might be mlsled by the Ores
sets attack, that rarely have men been
nominated for Office in Barber county
whom we personally would have natur-
ally preferred, and no man in Barber
county can truthfully say that we have
ever even attempted to force our choice
OF candidates on the convention. We
have at different times expressed an
opinion but always have abided by the
will of the convention, which, we are
proud to say, has rarely been dominat-
ed by boss rule. Our readers will par.
don us for this personal article. We
deemed it our duty to reply so that
there would be no excuse for anyone to
regard either the editors of the INDEX
or MIR. Campbell! in a false light.
While we say that we believe Mr.
Campbell is the logical candidate, we
shall not be offended If another good
man is nominated and if the Populists
of Barber county think differently it
is their duty and their right to act &C.
cordingIy. They can arrive at conclus-
ions without any dictations, just as
we do, and that is what they have been
doing and Will continue to do.

The principal feature OF the meeting
was change from last years rule IN
the matter of valuation. Last wear
property was.assessed at the full yalu.
alton and the exemption deducted.
whereas this year the old rule is fol.
lowed on the one third basis. The DIFF
ference will be a lower valuation and a
higher levy. 1t will also exempt more
property from assessment. The vain j..
atoms agreed upon are about what
they were two years ago.
Those who favor this years arrange
ment claim that it throws the burden
OF taxation on the class who can best
pay.
The county commissioners met in
