THE CHANDLER BLOCK.
A Creditable Improvement and Just
the Thing for Enterprising
Business Men.

The Chandler Block'whIch now graces
the corner of Main street and Kan
sas avenue West is completed and
1t adds about 400 per cent to the general
appearances of the heart of the city.
The dimensions of the entire buildin g
are 70x150. 1t is divided into four
apartments and is occupied by bus
mess firms. The largest room is "a feet
In the clear, and the others are 10, Is
and Is feet respectively. Under the
west half OF the building IS substan-
tial cellar, BRICK walled and floor i'm
penetrably cemented-just what an up
to date merchant needs in his business.
Canvas awnings will grace the front.
Surrounding the block is brick pave
ment. The building is constructed
with the best Of material, double brick
wall and good workmanship. The total
cost of the building is $1,000.
The two large rooms on the south are
occupied by Purdy & Clay. general mer-
chandise, the next by r. M. Woodward,
harness maker and dealer, and the 9th.
er by Shaw & Martin. proprietors of the
new meat market.
On the rear of these lots is the new
livery barn conducted by Kinkaid &
Johnson. 1t faces south and is conven
iently located with spacious alleyway
on either side.
The Improvement this block brings
to the city can not be estimated. Com.
pared with the Old dllapidated fire
traps that used to totter and angle on
these lots, the Improvement is infinitely
great.

Edward Sanford Dead.

Edward Sanford died at his home
three miles west of town on Monday,
December Is, 1902 He was attacked
with pneumonia little over a week
ago and his condition at once became
critical and after few days of sick
ness there was no hope of recovery.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Baptist church yesterday afternoon
and interment was made in Highland
cemetery. Elder r. II. Tanksley, pas
tor of the Christian church, conducted
the services.
Edward Sanford was born at Boon
vile, Missouri. April 6. 1853 and died at
Medicine Lodge. Kansas, December Is,
1902, aged SO years, months and 9
days.
He came to Barber county from Ok
lahoma last spring and moved on the
Mawson farm west OF this city. He
was citizen of great worth and won
the friendship and esteem of all with
whom he came in contact.
He leaves wife and little girl about
years old.
The Index extends deepest sympathy
to them in their distress.

Anderson Case Continued.

By agreement of counsel the Ander-
son case in Justice Collins court was
continued until next Monday at
O'Clock.
The case Is being prosecuted by Coun
ty Attorney Griffin and E. Sample is
defending.
In the meantime "Uncle Jimmie"
has the freedom OF the court house.
He has the choice of accepting bond
or boarding with the county. So far he
has chosen the latter.
In our judgment there is little or
nothing in this case. The complainant
is not sound mentally and is hardly
responsible for her actions.

Young's drug store, Harry Briant's
barber shop. Sellers store and the Cres-
set Office and the material is on

New Santa Fe Agent.

IL. w. Heivly, Of Waukita, Oklaho.
ma, has taken g. E. Bechtei's place as
local agent at the Santa Fe depot here.
Mr.. Heiyly took charge on Tuesday of
last week and his family arrived few
days later: Hr. Heivly is a pleasant
gentleman and no doubt will make q
popular agent.
No cause Is assigned for making the
change. So far as we know the retiring
agent, Mr. Bechtel, gave satisfaction
and If there has been any trouble be-
tween him and the company we have
never heard Of it. The Index always
found him to be cordial and compe-
tent man In the place. We hope he
will remain in Medicine Lodge.

Telephone Concerts.

There was delightful musical con-
cert over the telephone Saturday night.
Lake City and Medicine Lodge were
connected fer the occasion. Grapha-
phone and piano selections were rem
dered. The wires carried the sweet

nature was given the Saturday night
previous with Harper and Anthony
connected. There will probably be
similsr entertainments weekly through

phone patrons. 'Twon't be long until

homes.

The Grand Jury Question.

Regardless of what may be said
about non-enforcement of law, the In
dex Is opposed to grand jury in Bar
Der county. A grand jury can he of 10
service to the people. 1t will neither
enforce laws better nor raise the
standard Of morals. It will simply H.
crease public expense and nobody ex
cept lawyers and ofticehoiders will de-
rive any benefit from it Our taxes have
already reached the intolerant stage
and TO MAINTAIN at public expense q
grand jury will increase them. The
cost OF 1t can not bs estimated, but 1t
Is conservative to say that grand jury
and the results it will produce will cost
as much as all other general expenses
which the county now pays.
No taxpayer or citizen should sign
bhe grand jury petition il one is pre-
sented to him, without first carefully
considering the effect it will have. A
grand jury in a thinly settled county
is an unwarranted expense and it can
not render any better service than the
officers of the law can. The people are
given the privilege of selecting their
officers and if they do not elect men
In which they can repose the utmost
confidence. 1t is their fault and grand
jury can not remedy it.
We do not say that any of our public
officers are in sympathy with law VIC
laters, but if they were they could easily
clrcumvent grand jury, because the
jury could do nothing but indict. and
hence we say that no possible good
can be derived from q movement Of this
kind. 1t is the duty of every taxpay er
to use his influence against it.

The Richie Entertainers.

Ihe Ritchie entertainment given at
the opera house Monday night was
splendid. Mr.. Ritchie is certainly q
very clever magician and his tricks are
simply marvellous. Miss Blanche Neaa i,
humorist, could not fill her part of the
engagement on account of absence caus.
ed By sickness, but her place was ably
filled by Mrs. Ritchie with vocal and
instrumental musical numbers, as
sisted by MIR. Roberts. Phe Celesta.

appreciated. A large house greeted the
company and all were satisfied with
the high class performances.

THE APPEAL DISMISSED.
The Supreme Court Refuses to Pass on
the Merits Of the Nixon Walker Case.

On Monday the supreme court dis
missed the appeal Of the county com.
missioners from the order of Judge
Gillett compelling them to count eight
more votes for E. H. Nixon for repre-.
sentative than were cast, thus fulfilling
the prophecy made by the Long ma
chine that the court would never con-
slider the case on Its merits.
This, of course, does not settle the
matter. Another appeal will be carried
to the floor of the house Of representa-
tives and while there is little reason to
hope for justice at the hands of that
partisan body, the people of Barber
county are going to do their utmost
nevertheless to ses pure elections pre-
vail and thieves and rascalS routed.
They are patient and long suffering
but every time their efforts to secure
honest elections and fair counts are
thwarted by the powers that be, the
fires of indignation are rekindled in
their hearts anG they will take hold
with renewed determination that the
right shall and must ultimately prevail
It Is no longer partisan issue. 1t is
honesty and decency on one side as
against confessed fraud and theft on
the other. And this Will be the issue
in the next campaign in Barber county.
