A FALSE REPORT.

It came to our notice last week that q
report had been given circulation to the
effect that Medicine Lodge had quaran-
tined against visitors from the country
and abroad, and the report might have
had some influence in keeping people
away from the city. We hasten to say
that the report is absolutely false and
without reason or foundation. Not
only is the report Of such q quarantine
false, but We will 90 farther and say
that 1t 10 our opinion that there has not
been q single case OF genuine small pox
in Medicine Lodge. True, there have
been few cases of what is popularity
known as Cuban Itch" and "Cuban
Chicken. pox" and there has been a
quarantine enforced at a few private
residences, but there never was more
danger in contracting the disease by
coming to this town than by going to
any other or by travelling the public
roads anywhere. However, whatever
disease there was in the city is now
practically eliminated. The few quar-.
antines which were enforced. with one
exception, are now lifted and there is
no chance OF danger. Don't be afraid
to come to town. You won't be afiict-
ed.

Rev. w. A. Cam and wife departed
last Friday. They will reside Temper
arily at Ottawa, Kansas. but are unde.
cided as to where they will go from
that place. Their departure is a source
of deep regret to their friends, and es-
pecially among the members of the
Babtist church. Rev. and Mrs. Cam
have been citizens of Medicine Lodge
continuously during the twelve pas t
years. When they first came the Bah
fist church had a very small member
ship and the universities under which
they laboIed have never been written
and will never be known. Suffice it to
say that under their charge and largely
through their perseverance and self
sacrifice, the church has steadily grown
aud prospered, and now they own q
nice building and are entirely out of
debt with a large membership. When
there was call for charity and in SICK
ness and death they were ALWAYS ready
to aid and to comfort. Wherever they
go, the kindness and good wishes of
many warm friends IN Medicine Lodge
go with them.

nomination without opposition, two for

would like TO receive the nomination

poruI1sr CENTRAL con,urrxr.

The Peoples party central committee
of Barber county met in the INDEX Of
fee on Saturday. The attendance dem
onstrated that there is moro interest
among the Populists than there has
been for several years and encouraging
reports come from the different town.
ships.
The principal topic discussed at the
meeting on Saturday was the congress
sional situation and while the disagree
ment between the Populist and demo-
cratic conventions at Great Bend was
deplored, it was the unanimous opinion
of the committee that the only wise and
honorable policy to pursue is to insist
that the Populist candidate remain on
the ticket and make an aggressive cam
paign, and in order to express the de.
sires of the Populists of Barber county
the following resolution was adopted.
The resolution was introduced by Hon.
V. G. Sleeper. of Valley townsh ip:
Whereas the Populist Party at its conven-
ton at Great Bend on April I7-l9OO, nominat-
ed the Hon. !. P. Campbell for its candidate
for congressman of the Seventh Congression
al district, and whereas there has been some
insinuation that there is a possibility of the
congressional committee voting to request his
withdrawal and whereas his nomination was
fairly made expressing the judgment OF q
majority OF the delegates of the convention
therefore be it resolved that we. the members
OF the Populist Central Committee Of Barber
county are opposed to Mr.. Campben's with
drawal. and express our con fdence in his can
didacy.
We regret the failure of the two congress
sional conventions to reach an agreement, but
we are convinced that Mr.. Campbelrs declins-
ton ana the substitution of another candi-
date would be detrimental to the anti.republi.
can forces in the approaching campaign
The committee also took action in
the matter of voicing its sentiment IN
regard to candidate for the state
senate. and the candidacy of Hon. A.
j. Titus, the present senator of this
district, was unquali6edly endorsed.
In the event of his refusal to accept the
nomination, the delegates were left
free to exercise their best judgment in
voting for the different Populist candi-
dates. When the convention adjourned
1t left the matter Of selecting the dele
gates to the senatorial convention with
the committee because the apportlon-
ment had not been made. The COM
mittee thought it wise to select some
of the delegates at the meeting on Sat-
urday and empower the chairman to
appoint more if the county is entitled
to them, after the call shall have been
made. The object of the selection of
delegates at this meeting was that the
committee might not meet again before
the convention is held. To BIZ certain
that no more should be chosen than the
county is entitled, five were selected at
the meeting. They are Arthur Maddox
and G. w. Nelson, of Cedar, V. c.
Sleeper, of Valley, F. G. Colburn, of
Nippawalla, and U. G. Herr, of Medi-
icine Lodge.
The committee will not NEST again
until called by the chairman.
