Court to Adjourn for the Fair.

The September term of the district
court will convene according to law on
next Monday This Is the week Of the
fair Court always brings large mum.
Der OF people 10 the city but 1t keeps
them busy or waiting at court and Of
course would not allow them to attend
the fair. So It has been arranged to
have court convene with a Judge pro
TEN at the usual time and take an adj
journment for one week, till the fair is
out of the way.
There is long lapse Of time between
the April and the September terms Of
court and usually on this account the
September term is the most important
and interesting Of all in the year, But
II does not seem TO be the case this year.
There are no sensational criminal cases
at all. There are no murder cases, no
important assault cases, and out Of the
sixteen criminal csses, six Of them are
for selling intoxicating liquors, The
others are for small misdemeanors with
one or two for the lower class of felones
Probablythe most important is against
young man by the name Of Hand, for
forgery, with one or two others for bicy-
Gle thefts,
There are lac civil cases on the docket
but many of them are unimpouant and
many more will not come to trial. There
are twenty-five divorce cases now filed.
This is very good sized pile and no
doubt represents a good many heart
pangs. But It is considerably below the
mark Of year ago. when during the
month when they had to be filed in order
to get them into the September term
they outnumbered the marriage licenses
and footed up thirty-two,
This will be the first term Of the dis
trict court to be held in the new court
house, and will be memorable chiefly on
that account.

VERY much has been said pro and
con at various times during the past two
or three years concerning the indebted
ness Of the city Of Hutchinson, and
mathemaiicians Of various stripes and
colors have done their figuring accord
ing TO their own notions and the only
unanimous result has been general
disagreement. A year ago it.was stated
by some members Of the old administra-
ton that the city had for quite long
term OF years been running behind to
the extent Of about 81. 900 year. But
the city clerk and treasurer have now
been over their books and the showing
they make is this; In May, 1897, the city
owed in bonded Indebtedness and in
floating warrants, all told, 100000.
July 18th of the current year it owed, all
told $4,000 or an increase Of $4,000,
in four years. But against this there
was in the city treasury on the last
named date So 900 in round numbers, so
that the real increase in the indebted
ness is only $1,000, The city authosities
now agree very well on these figures.
This is very much better showing than
anyone seemed to think possible. 1t
seems as If the accounts must have
been in very chaotic condition or the
old administration would never have
made the admissions they did concern.
ing the amount which the city income
was falling short Of meeting expenses.
The opinion now prevails that the city
is bringing the expenditures within the
income. AS the city gets its money but
twice a year it is difficult to figure
up to any exactness just how it is doing

Another Dear Ride.

If there could be mad any accurate
statistics on the subject, they would no
doubt determine that stealing rides on
the trains is a very dear method Of trav-
cling. The number OF accidents that
have occurred at this place alone
through this business would be an as
tonisher il it could be exactly known.
Another that may terminate fatally
occurred near the west end OF the Santa
Fe yards last Wednesday night. A
young negro who claims ST. Joseph, Mo-
as his home, was stealing ride on the
blind baggage of Santa Fe train No. 8,
and as the train pulled into town he at
attempted to get off before the train had
slowed down much. In fact 1t could
not have commenced to slow up but
very little, for the place where he jumped
was three blocks west Of Main street.
He was thrown off his feet and turned
in toward the train so that as he threw
out his right hand it passed under the
wheels and most Of the fingers were
shorn off. His skull, even if it was hard
was not hard enough to stand such treat
ment as it received in this fall and was
fractured almost clear across.
The young man was picked up anc
taken to the Stewart hospital and giver
good treatment. He is twenty-one
years of age and strong so that the
chances of his recovery are good consid'
ering the extent Of his injuries.

WHEN Theodore Roosevelt stood on a
car platform at the Santa Fe depot few
days ago in this city and made his little
speech to the old soldiers scarcely a
dozen people cheered, Even his great
est flights Of panegyrie for the old boys
who made united nation and the pio-
neers who tanned the desert fell upon
ears that were stone dead to all appear
ances We thought the crowd had good
sense. They were respectful, but they
had no inclination to 30 wild. They
seemed to put about the right estimate up
on the speech, for 1t expressed the same
sentiments that were expressed by every
other speaker on that occasion, lmag-
inc the surprise now to see that speech
treasured up, set in nice corner and
referred to as a jewel by all the daily pa
pers in the State and a whole lot Of
weeklies that ought to know better, and
using it as material with which TO make
a presidential nominee. The speech was
an average good speech, and as it con-
tanned no political references 1t was en-
titled to respectful consideration by all
concerned. 1t was probably as good
speech as John Lawson would make, and
better than Frank Vincent is capable Of,
but we never heard either of them make
a speech that should entitle them to the
presidency,

OLD TIME DEMOCRACY.

EDITOR GAZETTE; Believing that
many Of your readers are in full fellow
ship with the democratic party, as an
old timer myself ! beg your indulgence
to address few words to the democrats
of Reno county. With probably one
exception, Reno county is the largest
county in the State, With a correct
count and full vote we have 700 demo
cratic voters, all of them intelligent, per
severing, public spirited citizens. For
many years the Hutchinson Democrat
was the recognized organ Of the party
in the county. 1t had liberal support
and could be found in democratic homes
in every part of the county Its stand
ing with exchanges was known all over
the State. 1t voiced the will of Its dem
ocratic patrons and was ever foremost
in organizing the opposition to the re-
publican party in western Kansas. |
have no kick for the management in It's
opposition to the present city admins
tration; that is local matter in no way
partisan as between the two great par
ties, But democratic paper in Reno
county should be something more than
fractional organ in the affairs OF the
city.
If the Hutchinson News owns and
CONTROLS the Democrat, as is commonly
stated on the streets, then the followers
of jefferson are without an organ in
Reno county. Could anyone determine
the politics of the Democrat by any
thing found in the columns OF the pa
per? This is a question that the readers
of the paper can answer for themselves.
OF one thing am sure, democrats will
not support side show Of the News for
any great length Of time. Cynic OBJ
server is not democrat, and his pap
poose story in the issue of the 10th UNI
der strict ruling Of the postal authori-
ties would not be permitted to pass
through the mails, II the News men
seek to smirch the reputation oil demo
cratic readers by Knockout drops OF
that character they will find themselves
up stump before many moons have
passed. The Democrat, am told, has a
big circulation all over the county and
western Kansas 1t is not too late for
the management to purify its reputation
if they care to do so, The maladminis
tration of public affairs by the dominant
party at Washington and Topeka calls
for vigorous, relentless warfare by the
united press of the opposition to the re-
publican party.
If the management Of the Democrat
can and will reorgan2e their forces in
keeping with the spirit Of the times
there can be no doubt as to its prosperity
But it will not be possible TO inspire con
fdence with a suspicion in the minds Of
readers that it is run as a side show to a
republican daily newspaper The dem
ocrats of Reno county want a good dem
ocratic paper, bold, independent and
aggressive. The extravaganza, selfish
ness and partisan meanness so daringly
manifest with the State authorities at
Topeka, and the reckless defiance Of
constitutional restrictions at Washing
ton call for such paper everywhere.
Let the Democrat make new deal and
give its readers in western Kansas some
thing to be proud OF.

THE latest information we get regard
ing the paper being circulated among
the business men for the opening of sa-
looms in Hutchinson is that it is not so
much in the nature Of petition as it Is
a pledge that the signers will work for
that end and that they will support each
other in business. We have also learned
that in some instances they have car
ried with them a threat to those that
hesitated, that it wonld not be well for
their business should they refuse, This
is very unwise piece Of business. 1t
will divide the people Of the city into
factions useessly, and divide energies
that should be spent in building up the
city. If il is as above stated, it virtually
means boycott on all business men that
will not sign. This is sure to be met by
retaliation and boycott on those that
do sign. 1t is probable that the names
of many reputable business men have
been secured to the paper only because
they did not understand the scope Of
the matter and what it ultimately means
1t is understood that the interested
ones held meeting Monday night and

1t is getting on toward time Tor the
appointment OF postmaster for the
good and hourshing city of Hutchinson
The four years commission of the pres
ent incumbent will expire before a great
while and the political wise men are &C.
casionally getting their heads together
and talking in whispers. OF course they
will deny any such conversations in pub
lie, They think that is the way to play
politics. They look wise and owlish and
say nothing, But rumor becomes per
sistent and people are wondering who
the new appointment is going to light
upon Vincent and his whole push, and
all of Longs especial friends here were
Baker men in the campaign last winter.
Not that they liked Baker or that Baker
liked them for he didn't and they didn't
a bit. But in the game OF politics Cy
Leland swopped them off and they had
to stay swopped. Now that Burton has
won and is senator, it may cause COM
plicatons. There are whole lot Of
people who know enough about politics
to talk whole lot that are saying they
hope it will be a new man. That the
present postmaster has been in office so
long he has forgotten what it is to be a
private citizen. That he wouldn't know
how to eat If he had to change his diet
from pap. That his name is Woods and
various things, all Of which counts for
nothing in the appointment Of a post
master

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause only Rel
Gently Discovered

IT has been stated on good medical
authority that ninetenths Of cases Of
deafness are caused from catarrh or
from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the
ear from the throat is lined with sort
of velvety structure called mucous
membrane. This membrane is simply
continuation of the mucous mem
brane lining the throat When dis
ease of any sort attacks the mucous
membrane of The throat it is very liza
BILE to extend into the Eustachian tube
and up into the ear.
The history of nearly ell cases of
deafness is like this: cold is con-
tracted and neglected, other colds are
taken, the throat becomes sore and
innamed, which is aggravated by par
ticles OF dust and germs from the air,
This condition causes the disease to
spread into the tube that leads to the
ear
1t aeems a little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caus-
ed from catarrh, but it is certainly
true, and anyone who has had Sc
we're catarrhal cold must have noticed
how the hearing was affected while
the cold lasted.
with catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic and
grows verse the longer the catarrh is
neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness
by the regular use of an excellent new
preparation called Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets, composed of aatiseptic RENE
dies which act both on the mucous
membranes but principally and mosI
effeotually on the blood, eliminating
the catarrhal poison from the system
