Rev. Lowther Arrested.

On Friday of last week Rev. Dr.
Granville Lowther was billed to speak
at Great Bend. on Socialism, in the
afternoon in the park, and in the
evening in the court room Friday
afternoon being windy, the DR.. got a
dry goods box and set it up in the
street, next to the sidewalk north of
the First National Bank, and began
speaking to a crowd that Congregated
on the walk AS near as we can get
the particulars. the marshal notified
him that he would not be allowed to
speak there, as the crowd would
block the sidewalk. Lowther got
down off the box and made as though
he would move to the other side of
the street, as requested, but rather
wanted to argue the matter with Mar
shall Wilson. The marshal not being
the maker of the law or the interpre-
ter thereof, took the reverend gentle
man before the police judge who itn,
posed a fine of 81 and costs.
The evidence was divided as to
whether the sidewalks were obstruct-
ed or not, and considering the day,
and the subject of the speech "a po-
litical onen the DEMOCRAT is of the
opinion that Lowther should have
been turned loose without the impos-
ing of a fine. There have been many
strolhng minstrels, religious enthusi-
asts and street features of many kinds
holding forth on the same corner
without molestation, in the past.

A Respected Citizen Gone.

On Monday, Oct 12,s1903, an old
and respected citizen of this county,
Mr.. John W. Heller, breathed his
last, at his home in the east part of
town. Deceased has been in feeble
health for some months, and his death
was not wholly unexpected.
He came here from Iowa some
fifteen or more years ago, and for
number of years conducted farm
ing. \ few years ago he moved to
Great Bend, and has lived here since.
He was aged 73 years and 20 days,
and leaves an aged wife and several
grown children.
Funeral services were conducted at
his late home at 7:30 a. m. Wednes-
day the 18th, and the remains shipped
to Mediapolis, Iowa, for interment.
Uncle Bobby Benton, of near
Maherville, was down show day, and
called on the DEMOCRAT. 1t was the
first time he had been in town since
last November.

Finest In The World.

The Newton Kansan of a recent
date says of the Barton county dis
play at Topeka:
s'The chief feature of the state fair
in Topeka was the agricultural dis
play made by Barton county, the
greatest wheat county in the world.
The county this year harvested over
100000 bushels of wheat, which
when sold, will give every person in
the county $3.50. There has not
been a pauper in Barton county for
five years. The county poor farm
and the poor house are rented and
bring to the county nine per cent
interest annually on the investment.
About 20 Kansas counties without
paupers have leased their poor farms
because there are no needy persons.

Hunting Party Home.

The hunting party, consisting of G.
H. Buckman, DR.. Jacobus, L. H.
Webb, Ernest Bolinger, c. w.
Roberts and J. E. Torrance, returned
from Great Bend Sunday. The
entire party is jubilant over the sue
cess of the outing which they had
and especially enthusiastic in praise
of the splendid reception given to
them at the hands of the ladies and
gentlemen of Great Bend. They
were met at the train when they
went out by number of ladies and
gentlemen and driven to their several
homes and entertained most royalty.
Next day they were driven to the
Cheyenne bottoms where a splendidly
equipped tent was erected with a side
tent for the two colored cooks and
everything was arranged for a
delightful time. Almost before they
had alighted from the wagon they
heard the ducks squawking in the
pond and they hastily arranged their
toilet by jumping into their hip boots
and sweaters and making a bee-line
for the pond. Later they were joined
by Judge Pollock, Geo. Clark and
Mr.. Blair from Topeka. The party
made two hunts day They would
get up at $3.50 o'clock in the morning,
have light breakfast and go at once
to the shooting grounds, returning
about 9 o'clock for substantial meal.
Again at 4 o'clock they would eat
dinner and go to the shooting grounds
and hunt as long as ii was light and
then return to the tent and have sup
per.
On Friday afternoon three carriage
loads of ladies and gentlemen from
Great Bend visited the hunters and
brought watermelons, cakes, home
grown pumpkin pies and other delica-
CieS too numerous to mention. When
the entire party went to the shoot and
were properly distributed over the
hunting grounds the bombardment
sounded like a small battle. Gentle
men from Great Bend were Willis
Bolinger, Charley Allison, Otis
Bolinger and F. Vernon Russell.
The entire party during the three
days they were out bagged 554 ducks.
Pollock, Clark and Blair taking a fine
string home with them. The Win
field party brought 100 to Winfield
which were distributed among their
families and friends. Feeling that
the public had great confidence in
their veracity they deemed it wise to
avoid straining this confidence,
hence they brought home 100 ducks
as evidence.
The Winfield party reports that
nothing was omitted by the Great
Bend people to make the hunt pleas
ant and successful, and that not a jar
or unpleasant thing occurred from the
time they left home until their return
except when one of the party ocCa-
slonally stepped into dead blind
and sank into the water up to their
eyebrows. This, however was no
fault of the hosts and was rather en-
joyed by those who were able to miss
tho hoioc r.

We believe that Great Bend is
large enough now to afford better
system of fire fighting machinery.
We should have hose wagon with
team, and at best two paid fremen to
be on duty all the time at the fire
house, who with a team and quick hitch
arrangement, could get the hose to
fire in many cases in time to prevent
damage. Then there could be ten or
a dozen volunteer firemen as now, to
assist in case of prolonged fire.

Porter Young, of the firm of Young
& Giles, left Saturday evening to at
tend a meeting of the real estate deal
ers association at New Orleans, Louis

weeks probably, and if he does not
tell those Southern people something
about the greatest wheat county on
earth it will be because he is filled
too full of Southern hospitality to
talk about anything.

At Rudolph Riedl's place in Grant
township, on the Sth inst, his barn,
and granary containing 1000 bushels
of grain, all his harness, one team of
horses and numerous other articles
were burned up. Besides, another
team was SO severely burned that we
understand it had to be killed after
wards. There was but 1000 insur-
ance on the property. We did not
learn what started the fire.

New County Treasurer. .

This week the county commission
ers checked out Ex-treasurer Elmer
Epperson and checked IN Treasurer
Soderstrom, who takes to his official
duties as naturally as a duck to
water. Henry Lutschg, who has
been deputy county clerk for num-
Der of years, is installed as Treasurer
Soderstrom deputy, which we be
lieve is very good selection.
Few of those who passed through
the Lundblade & Bolinger store cir
Gus day, and were caught in the jam
that held the aisles from early morn
ing until night, ever noticed the dis
appearance of a single one of the 35
clerks during the day, but tucked
away up in the 2nd story in little
corner were three or four clerks
busyly engaged in serving dinner or
supper to five or six at time. AS
quickly as possible and before you
could hardly notice their absence,
they would return refreshed and take
their busy place. This firm needs
twice the room for their business on
days of this kind.
