oHANoEY L. JONES, DECEASED.


DIED-At his home in Hoisington, Kansa-, at 2:10
a.. m, Monday. February Sd, 1902. CHANcEY l.
JONES, aged SO year,, months and % days.
C. l.. Jones was one of the old
est and best known citizens of
Barton county, and while his
death has been daily expected
for number of weeks, it came
as a sad blow to his many old
friends throughout this county.
He was genial, sociable friend
and neighbor, with a warm and
generous heart and a willing
hand. The writer will greatly
miss his pleasant, sociable visits
to this Office, as he seldam came
to Great Bend without dropping
in with friendly greeting.
c.. l.. Jones was born on May
18th, 1882 in Trumbule Co., Ohio.
He was a man of vigorous con-
stitution and delighted in excite
ment and adventure. He first
visited Barton county in 1869
and experienced the hardships
and adventures of the early buf-
falo hunters and freighters over
the old Santa Fe Trail. He was
wounded in the leg by poisoned
arrow, in an Indian fight on the
Walnut, in 1869. He served as
soldier in the Federal army
during the war of the Rebellion,
and received aserious hip wound.
Most of his life he has been a
stock dealer and freighter. He
was a member of Pap Thomas
Post G.. A. R. of this city. Polit-
ically he has been a lifelong dem
Ocrat.
In 1879 he removed with his
family to Barton county, from
Rengold county, Iowa, and has
resided here ever since, most OF
the time on a stock ranch in the
Cheyenne bottoms. For a few
years past he has conducted a
livery business at Hoisington.
Deceased leaves five children all
grown, three daughters and two
sons.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the residence at 10: a. m.
Tuesday, the 4th, and the re-
mains inferred in the Great Bend
cemetery beside those of his wife
who departed this life in 1887.
The Masonic lodge of Hoisington
took charge of the funeral exer-
cises at the residence, and the
IOdd Fellows lodge of Great
Bend took charge at the Gem.

By authority whatever,
except the statement of Republican attending the
Kansas Day club meeting. TO Frank Thomas. see
that an agitation has been started by the Topeka
Capital, Leavenworth Times and Kansas City
Journal, three notably partisan Republican papers,
to have the Democratic Convention changed from
Wichita to some other town. This to me is the
most astonishing thing 1 have ever known and
the alleged cause for the chaDge-lack of accomo-
datiops-gives me and every other Wichita man a
pain Wichita give ample accomod ations to a
crowd more than five times large the Demo-
cratic Consention and Knights of Pythas meeting
combined. 1t has taken of the 10000 people
who came here to Bryan in '9S of more than
80 900 W no cume here see Tom Reed in 1896, and
will have ample Accommodations to take of
Il, 900 cattle men coming here next month.
That the Democrats cannot get the auditorium
Is mistake; we have already secured it, have
ordered fancy buttons for badges and have IN
short. made complete arraDgt ments to fulfil every
promis made the committee.
Make no change; Wichita will take of any
crowd the Democrats may bring and treat them
handsomely. Wichita always stands by every
pledge its authorized delegates make.
Yours very truly.

some people go TO church: Some go

Some go to tell their woes and others
