Between Eve and six million bushels
is the way the Barton county wheat
crop promises TO pan out now. II the
253, 974 acres make an average yield Of
20 bushels to the acre it will produce
s, O79, 40 bushels The most eonserv-
alive estimates: give the average yield
as probably above 90 bushels to the
acre. Surprising that the average
price for which this wheat is sold is so
cer Is bushel, it will mean that the
wheat crop Of 1900 in Barton county
alone will bring to the farmers a neat
little sum total of 50. $50. 740, or about
$l93 per capita-our population being
IL, 179.
The Pawnee Rock bridge seems to be
mighty slow in getting repaired. The
fault appears to be with the Pawnee
county end of the arrangement. It
would seem to the DEMOCRAT that. if
Pawnee is 30 near bankrupt that she
cannot make needed repairs on her
end Of the bridge, Barton county
should build one entirely on Barton
county territory. and avoid this annual
semi-annual and numerously occa-
sional monkeying with Pawnee county
to get her to keep up her end Of the
bridge. An interscounty bridge will
always be 3 source of annoyance.
Miss Meta Legler left on Saturday
Of last week, for the east. She will
stop for . while at Valley Falls, and
then go to Chicago. Miss Legler is a
gifted musician with q most magnifi-
cent voice, and we venture the predic
tion that she will make for herself
proud name In the musical world.
While q certain coterie of would-be
musical leaders in this city took pains
to place stumbling blocks in the young
lady's path, she still leaves many
warm friends in Great Bend who wish
her much deserved success.
June 14th was CORPUS Christi,'' q
Catholic festival day. and at Olmitz it
WAS celebrated In regular, old fash
toned German style. There were four
affairs erected in various parts Of the
town, the streets and houses were dec.
Grated with bows and evergreens. The
ASSEM- blags, some 900 Or 700, marched
from altar to altar, with band music,
singing and praise; and after the cele :
braticn ceremonies everybody enjoyed
themselves in miscellaneous pleasures
the balance of the day.
Hiring men by the pound is new
idea. Frank Wilson tells of farmer
who was the other day trying TO hire
'em that way. For 200 pound hand
he was willing to pay s2.0G a day,
$1.75 for one who weighed % pounds
less, or 81 90 for $50 Founder. Scrubs
like the editors of the DEMOCRAT,
Beacon. OF Tribune, could only COM
mand from S1.25 to sl.373. The far.
mer did not specify whether weight
was to be taken before or after harvest.

Hundreds upon hundreds of "box>

days-we refer to the vast army OF

will toss about with their sharp
pointed weapons i'll Oe the heads OF
the golden grain Even Russia had
best not try to suppress the army Of
Barton county boxers.
