The Cresset's attempt to
create discord between the
publishers of the INDEX and
Hon. w. G.. Afford will fail.
The quotation published in
last weeks Cresset "from one
of the editors of the INDEX y
is absolutely false. Neither
Of the INDEX editors gave
voice to such sentiment. We
recognize that the republicans
will do everything possible to
divide the fusion ranks this
year and it is we'll to refute
these little falsehoods in the
outset.

If the people of Barber
county want a representative
in the Legislature who will
do something to benefit them
they should elect John A. Les
ter. He is honest, upright,
industrious and able. His
habits are the best and when
he is sent to Topeka he will
be found discharging his du-
ties on the floor of the house
and not lounging around in
a Club room.

John M. Doan stands high
as an educator. He has held
a first-grade certificate for
many years and for the past
six years has been a member of
the county examining board.
The only criticism Of bis work
that we have ever heard is
that he is too thorough and
that is rather a virtue than
a fault. Mr.. Doan is an ex.
perienced school man and the
superintendent Office will be
safe in his hands. If you
are interested in the public
schools of Barber county and
desire the excellent work in.
angurated by Frank Shell,
carried on, take off your coat
and help to swell Mr.. Doan's
majority this fall.

THE republicans are telling it around
that several of the delegates of this
township who sat IN the Populist con-
Vention, voted for Sam Stewards ticket
in the republican primary. OF course,
such talk is all rot and a great iEjus-
tice to Mr.. Stewart, but the Big will
never forgive Sam for beating them in
this township and that is the. reason
why they are keeping their guns turned
toward him.

There is something ridicu.
lous about the support the
Kiowa News is giving the re.
publican ticket this year.
For instance, the News is sup
porting a candidate whom it
has been persistently clubbing
as "wearie willie" Does the
News desire to be understood
as condescending so low that
it will support tramps for
public office? IF so, it's days
of usefulness are over.

truth is telling it around that Marion
Grouse, the fusion candidate for COM
missioner in the Second district, is not
taxpayer. Mr.. Grouse pays more tax
es than does Mr.. Nay, the republican
candidate. He may not be as wealthy
but he paws more taxes.

Remember that the tax levy
has been raised SO per cent

the PopuIists were in power
taxes decreased every wear.

COMMISSIONER NAYS personal tax
this year is less than So. Yet he is re-
puted to be money loaner. Marion
Grouse pays over $50 and lays no claim
to riches. The fellows wo are rushing
this tax matter in the hope of injuring
Mr.. Grouse had better go slow. The
thing is loaded.

When the Populists first
came into power warrants
were worth only 90 cents. A
few years afterwards they
were worth par. When they
first began doing business for
the county quarterly expendi-
lures ran high in the thous-
ands but soon they were re.
duced as low as $4,000. Now
they are up to $4,000 and
even higher. Our tax levies
are increasing and in a few
years warrants will be down
to 90 cents. The INDEX has
been impressing this ques.
ton of expenses on the PEG.
pie for several years and we
propose to keep at it. Every
prediction we made in times
past has been fulfilled; taxes
and expenditures are annual.
ly increasing and in some
parts of the county it amounts
already to confiscation. All
this has been brought about
by incompetent officials and
special -favors granted to
politicians. Elect Marion
Grouse commissioner and that
kind of work will stop.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1900-09-05

Marion Grouse is a man
who never tries to dodge his
taxes. When the assessor
calls on him he lists ALL his
property, whether it be in
the shape of live stock
or a promissory note. If
elected commissioner, he will
continue to pay his just quota
of taxes and not shift his bur
den on other people to pay.

ment bat for whom accom-
modatiOns cannot be found is
closely estimated at five nun

people are IN county Jalls:
Others are in homes for the aged

fined at their own homes. an
unutterable burden upon their

said and done there is not room

SHORTENING AVENUES TO THE CITY
Which Implies a Suggestion to
Rock Island to Be Do
ing Something.

The committee of the Moline Bust
ness Mems association in charge of
the road that city proposes to build
south from the Rock river bridge. is
working with commendable energy
The route intended to be followed
lies Eouth of the bridge to junction
with the Knoxville road. The right
Of way for the entire distance has
been secured and the preliminary
canvass for funds begun. 1t is CAL
culated that the new route will
shorten the distance to Moline for the
country to the south by several miles
and Will besides afford a road that
can be relied upon at all seasons.
The effect of the free bridge at Rock
river can already be noticed in the di-
version of a large part of the coal
trade that formerly came to Rock Is
land by way of Milan. The same eff
feet is undoubtedly produced on ordi-
Larry travel, although it is less notice
able. When the further advantage of
several miles less travel to Moline is
secured by the new road, the detection
of rural trade from Rock Island to Mo
line will be seriously felt.
ForcibIe Example for Rock Island.
This manifestation of an euterpris-
ing spirit on the part of Moline bust
ness men should serve as a reminder
that Rock island has similar enter
prise on foot and with much more at
stake. While it is scarcely proper to
envy Moline the award of that for
which she makes a fair bid, sound
business policy demands that Rock
Island offer at least equal induce
ments to the trade that would natur-
ally come this way by the opening of
the proposed direct road to the lower
end-and the attendant abolition of
the Anticipated toll privileges over
Rock river bridges.

THIS MAN LAUGHS ATLocKs.
OeIkano Gives Marvellous Exhibition At
Rock Island Club.

OeIkano Gives Marvellous Exhibition at
Rock Island Club.
Delkano, who defes the ordinary
methods of restraining the subjects of
the laws vigilance. gave an entertain
ing and altogether wonderful exhibit
ton of his skill at the Rock Island
Club last evening. The event was
provided through the clubs entertain
ment committee and was heartily en-
joyed by the mem bers, who turned
out in large numb ers to witness it
With the presence on the platform
with him of Officers GofT, Schmid and
Thode, of the police force, and Deputy
sheriff Andrews and a Will county
official, who were privileged not only to
apply the handouts, but to scrutinize
closely his every move, Delkano, in
a twInkling almost, freed himself from
handouts of various descriptions
which were securely fastened about
his wrists by the officers of the law
Delkano not only used his own cuffs.
which were carefully examined, but
those furnished by the police and rep
Fesentative of the sheriff. The hand
cuffs having been applied, it was
only for Delkano to step into his cabi-
net, which was simple curtained
enclosure which all were invited to
inspect, and come out with his hands
free. After a numb Der of feats of this
kind, Delkano was handcuffed again
placed in sack which was securely
tied at the Top with ropes, the
knots of which were sealed,
and then lifted into box
which was locked and bound and
knoted in innunerable ways. The
box was then carried into the cabinet
At this instant, the lady assistant
came forward and asked some one in
the audience to count three, but be-
fore this was accomplished Delkano
appeared on the platform free-and
the lady had disappeared. The box
was then brought forward, and af.er
the locks and ropes had been removed
the seal on the sack was found un-
broken, but removing it and untying
the ropes, the lady came forward.
Delkano also gave an exhibition of
the magic art, of which he is likewise
master.
1t is said that the police and one OF
two newspapers in Davenport made
elaborate plans to beat Delkano at his
own game Wednesday evening. They
manacled him in several positions from
which it seemed impossible for him
to extract himself, and some of those
present offered to bet liberal sums OF
that he could not get free. But he
was equal to every test and the only
reason that no money changed hands
was that there were no takers for the
bets
