New Meat Market.

Monday morning the Kunz brothers
took possession of the George Hoops
meat market, Mr.. Hoops retiring from
the business.
1t has been distinctly stated by the
new proPrietors that the Queen City
meat market is an Independent enter
prise and is not in any way connected
with the market conducted by G. E
SWarts.
The firm members of the Queen City
meat market are A. II. Kunz and E. f
Kunz- For long time A. H. Kunz
has been employed in the meat market
business of GOOdland, hence he is a man
experienced in the work. This combined
with his natural energy Is an indica.
ton that he will succeed. E. F. Kunz
the other member of the firm Is also ar
old resident Of Sherman county and ar
experienced stock man.

The Train Robbers and the Reward.

Sheriff Walker has repeatedly been
urged by his friends to make denial of
the false report circulated about the
division Of the reward paid by the
Union Pacific railroad for the capture
of the train robbers. In justice to
himself and friends he makes the fol-
lowing affidavit:
State Of Kansas, Sherman County, IS.
Personally appeared before me,
Thomas 2. Leonard, a notary public in
aud for Sherman county, Kan, William
Walker, Jr-, sheriff Of Sherman county,
who being duly sworn says
That whereas reports are being cir
eulated over the county intended to
injure my canvas for re election as
sheriff Of Sherman county to the
effect that I pOcketed the major part
Of the re ward paid by the Union Pa
cific railroad company and gave my
deputies only a minor and inferior
share Of said reward, I therefore affirm
and make oath as to the divisions Of
the award as follows:
That the Union Pacific railroad com
pany paid $1,000 for the capture of the
azores aid train robbers taken by my
self and deputies on August 10, 1900;
ana I0aL OF THIS hWdEu the lOlAOHluk
division was made and that the several
persons herein mentioned received
the following sums tO-wit:
John Riggs, deputy, $1,000; George
CulIins, deputy, !, 100; William Walker,
sheriff, 1900.
l also affirm and make affidavit that
myself and deputies contributed pro
portiOnately and paid to Q. E. BiddisOn
800 for his services on that occasion.
I also affirm that in the division Of
awards the sheriff is entitled 20 60 per
cent and a deputy or deputies the bal
| lance under which r7le / was entitled
to s2,4OO but preferred to deal gener
ously with my deputies.

BUILD SHEDS NOW.
Winter Is at Hand and Protection For Cat
tie Pays-Indieations Point to
Hard Winter.

Hard Winter
If every man who Is either in the dairy
or stock raising business wishes 70 be
successful he should make needed prep
srations- One Of the most important
provisions as winter comes on is suitable
cattle sheds to protect stock from the
chilling winds and snow. A little
money wrapped up in sheds is far pre-
ferable to a much larger sacrifice Of ami
nal fat used up to ward Of the cold
where no protection exists.
Better winter one COW OF one steer il
fair condition than to let two bless you
with only skin and bones. Protection
to your stock is not only gilt edge in
vestment but a wise and merciful
course.
Every indication points to q hard
winter, and the weather man predicts
that it will be a winter Of storms. Now
is the time to repair and build cattle
sheds. More sheds, more cattle next
spring. No sheds means less cattle or
poor cattle in the spring.

soheII Taken to Lansine.

Sheriff Walker took H. n. Schell to
the penitentiary Monday night. The
case on appeal was held up as no bond
was put up, and Schell finally concluded
to serve his sentence. His brothers
from Illinois were here last week and
shipped out a car load Of horses for
ScheII, to sell in Illinois.
The rule Of rebate on account Of good
behavior will cut down his two years
sentence to about Is months. The sym
pathies of the community are kindly
toward Mr.. Schell's family and children
and no one reioices over Mr.. Schell's
condemnation and sentence, but regret
exceedingly the necessity which requires
the execution of the sentence Of the law.

FRED E. BARNETT-For County Attorney.
CPen Sketch By Edson. Of the Kansas City star
the midnight lamp-while others slept
and was admitted TO the bar IN July
1899. Not cOntented with the outward
form alone, he wanted to know the re-
asOn for law, for things that are, and
BY dint of toll and careful saving has
studied three years in the greatest
school of the state-the University Of
Kansas; and he will soon take the de-
gree of A. B.
As a student he has made q good
record His life thus far is sure proof
that the most worthy men, the greatest
men, have not proceeded along the
line OF least resistance, but in meeting
and overcoming seemingly insuperable
obstacles, and like them he is sure to
rise.
Mr.. Barnett is a scholar. He has
been associate editor Of the Auto
mobile" a magazine pulished at Law
renee, Kansas, which has acquired a
national reputation. His articles in
that periodical have been widely COP
led By the daily and college papers
Mr.. Barnett has never entered upon
the regular practice Of law, but during
vacations has had considerable work
in that line without opening up an
Office, and has been successful.
He Is one Of the best educated men
in Sherman county, and every man
who votes for Fred Barnett viii vots
for brains, for moral stamina and a
good cause.

Dairy Notes.


The average New York market for
the week ending September ., was
221z cents.
There is no question about it. The
best and most paying business TO
which young man IS called today in
Kansas Is the dairy business.
The butter business is now an estab-
lished one, wholly in the hands of the
dairyman. There is no longer any
danger Of the business being ruined
by the cleo manufacture. More but
ter is demanded by the world every
day and there is room In the business
for every man and every COW In the
world.
Every farmer with a hand separator
owes il to himself TO keep his cream IN
as good, clean anu as wholesome con-
ditiOn as possible before delivery to
the creamery. 1t still remains to be
proven whether the hand separator sys-
tenn is the right one, aud the thing TO
prove is, that dairymen can be educat-
ed to be clean enough aud prompt
enough With their deliveries to have
the cream in as good condition for
making good butter as il the whole
sweet milk was taken to the creamery.
The farmer who tries TO reduce the
expenses Of his dairy past the limit of
prudence; who underfeeds; who tries
to save in poor and cheap shelter; who
makes few deliveries or who has not a
separator; VINO tries to save time and
hurriedlv cleans his utensils, is the
enemy to his profession. For he will
never be a satisfactory creamery pat
ron and he will always get the smallest
price, for the business Of butter max
ing IN this country is not far from q
system Of prices based on quality as
well as quantity.

A TWENTY DOLLARFIND.
After Long Search Dick Powers Finds
Valuable watch Belonging to Utah
Man and receives $50 Reward
| aock of 5000 sheen in transit

A flock Of 5000 sheep in transit from
Utah to Kansas City, were unlOaded at
GOodland last week for rest, feed and
water. One train load Of them we're
loaded Sunday morning and another
Monday.
After the second train was loaded
Monday the owner missed his watch.
It was a very valuable Deuber move
ment with expensive case and chain.
Only very cursOry look could then be
made as the sheep owner had to 60
with the train. But he told Dick Pow
ers who had been helping in loading to
make search and should he find the
watch he would receive ample reward.
Dick cultivated the focal matter Of the
yards pretty thoroughly with his boots
and finally uncovered the treasure at
the lower end Of the chute. He tele-
graphed the owner who sent back word
to hold the watch for his return when
be would pay him $40 for his find.
Ernst the jeweler examined the watch
and said it was worth 800.

fy1ng whether the variation was east or

in the interests of correct surveying in
