town, but there was the greatest excite.
meut while the trouble lasted, and for
time the affair took a Serious turn.
THE difficulty grew out OF the opera
lions OF band OF horse thieves who
carried on their business in the
nsig hborhood OF Bolton for a period
extend ing over several years There
was not q lynching. but there was
something far worse, in point of cold
blooded fury on the part of On enrsg-
ed mob. Nine prisoners confined In
the county jail at Bolton were murder
ed In their oells one night. As a mat.
| ter OF fact l guess it Was the best
thi that the mob cou d have done
for the benefit Of Bolton, and indeed
that part Of Texas.
'For q long time gang of horse
thieves bad been running cattle aud

OF years, during which the farmers and
planters In that locality bore their
losses with patience, cattle and horses
were stolen with impunity, and the
crime could not be laia TO the doors OF
any single man, though the belief wa
common that certain parties, well
known, were directly responsible.
1.-THE plans OF the horse thieves were
we'll laid. The crowd operating near

ard carry them into the next county
or district. There they would be
taken in charge by another gang, un
der the same lead ership, practically,
and this gang would run the animals

this manner the horses and cattle
would be carried across the Louisiana
line, and sold at handsome profit.
The difficulty In spprehending any of
the thieves, WAS the fact that after
having been on q raid which resulted
in q great loss of stock, the horse
thieves would invariably show up at
their homes the next morning without
= sigu of having been out of their back
tcly nothing whereby the gull: for
the crimes could be brought home to
them.
"At last, however, several members
OF the gang were caught red handed In
their cattle lifting deals, and we're ar
rested and locked up securely in Jail.
The long suffering farmers were going
to let the Law takes Its course, know
lug thai there was more than enough
evidence to convict the men.
"EighSof the horse thieves were Sec
urely under look and key, and the
farmers we're consented.
"What brought mssters 70 . head

horse thieves. Up 10 thss time nothing
had been proved concerning his con-
uecsion with the gang. though IT. Was

also.
"This man, IL has beea 30 long Ago

THE man was arrested by the sheriff
and taken TO the county jail.
shortly after dark the mob began
to form. The word was passed that
the fellow would be lynch ed that night,
and Q large and determined crowd
turned out to punish the brute. Feel
ing was also high on account of his
supposed connection with the gang Of
horse thieves, and the statement WIS
freely made that the man should not
live through the night.

Remarkable Record

The second annual meeting Of the
Kansas State Mutual Hail ASSOCIATION,
whose headquarters are at this place was
held at the company's Office on ian. 4,
1900, for the purpose Of electing a board
OF fifteen directors and reviewing. the
business of the past year.
Representatives of the company from
various parts of the state were in attend
ance. All were highly pleased with the
record which the company has made and
were very enthusiastic for its future.
The company insured wheat, oats, rye
barley and flax last year for from $500
to $500 per acre at a cost of four per
cent, and after paying all losses and ex-
penSes, they made rebate to the MEM
bers OF torty-one per cent. of the premi-
um paid in. This made the insurance
cost TIE patrons of this company 2 36-
100 per cent. This shows that insurance
can be carried for much less than what
some companies have been charging in
years past.
All were so well pleased with the
record made with it, that no changes
were made.-McPherson Opinion.
OF this company Hon. H. F. Har-
baugh, of Concord, is one of the direct
ors aid general adjuster, and J. W. An

lake Off the Load.

George D. Heron, late professor o
Applied Christianity in the Iowa College
gives an abstract Of our present so
called civilization in the following tiers,
fgurtive manner:
He said; "a heavy dray broke dowr
in the street and man was crushed anC
held captive beneath it. On top of the
dray was load of merchandise and or
top of the merchandise were sitting a
lot of monopolists.
"a crowd of men gathered about and
began to discuss how to relieve the man
crushed by the dray. They stayed SC
long and discussed so hard that the peo.
pie finally created them into legis.
lature.
Then they called in lot more men,
called political economists, who decided
that the man had always been so crush.
ed; it was his natural condition, and il
was useless to think Of releasing him.
Edward Atkinson said 1t would over.
turn civilization to let the man get out
from under the dray and so it would.
Next, chairs were endowed in uni.
versities to teach that the man was there
because he was not fit to survive. or that
he had too much overproduction on ton
OF him; that even if he got out he could
not walk, because of lack of experience
in walking.
Then came the theologians, who said
the mans heart was bad and he must be
saved before the stuff could be taken off;
finally, that if his heart could be got
right he would not need to have the
weight taken off.
And the theologians secured a life
JOB for centurits, Just for preaching that
the man could not possibly be anywhere
than where he was.
FINALLY man came along who said:
Why take the stuff off and let the man
go free What do you suppose they did
t" that mani" A voice from the gallery
cried, "They crucifed him" and neither
the speaker nor the audience dissented.

The SMALLPOX Scare.

In every state in the union, and in al
most if not every township, there are
cases of what is commonly called Cuban
Itch. 1t resembles mild form of small
pox and is what has given rise to the
senseless scare and the futile and foolish
attempt TO quarantine against Kay
county, OF. 1t is, like the smallpox, a
skin disease, and was doubtless brought
by the soldiers from Cuba, and scattered
everywhere, the colder climate here
making it more severe. In the same way
what was commonly known as the seven
year itch was very common Immediately
after the civil war. During the winter
where there have been hundreds of cases
i'll Indiana, Pennsylvania and elsewhere,
hardly death is reported and 10 serious
consequences follow.
So much as to The contlgion in gen-
eral. Concerning Wellington in particu-
lar, we have made careful inquiry of the
physicians and find that just three cases
have occurred in the city. Each one has
been up and about the whole time.
EIcn o.e las been strictly quarantined
against. No new case has occurred for
nearly two weeks and it is safe TO say
no more will, unless it is brought here,
and in that event the most strict quar-
antine is established over the house in
which the party may be. Citizens of
Wellington give the matter no thought
and there is 10 occasion for any one else
so to do. Any one desiring to come to
Wellington on business or otherwise
may do so without fear of catching the
Cuban Itch. There has not been a case
OF smallpox i'll the city or vicinity this
winter.
