A New Barber Shop.

Roy Briant of this city and his
brother, Robert, of Pratt, will open a
barber shop in the building adjoining
Chase's Hardware store on the south,
next week. They have purchased a
complete new outfit and guarantee the
public good service. Roy learned the
barber's trade in Medicine Lodge and
later worked about half of year in q
first-class shop in Newton. Robert
Briant has worked at the trade seven
years which Of itself is evidence of his
efficiency.
We bespeak liberal patronage for
the young men. Both possess good
taste for up-to-date styles and work and
ROy's work here In times gone by is
sufficient assurance that the shop will
be kept up to the standard for clean
illness.
Medicine Lodge is now better sup.
Piled with first-clasS barber shops than
any city in this part of the state.

Strike at Gypsum Mill.

The men at the Gypsum Mill went
out on strike OH Saturday morD.
ing. They were receiving $l.25
per day and demanded 81 so. Their de
mand was refused and the strike re.
suited. All but three OF the EN-:
ployes joined in the strike-sixteen
walking out.
Carter Best, the principal owner of
the mill, was here. He proposed to the
men to remain at work until July 1st,
and then ii the output justified, the in.
crease in wages would be granted. But
the employees declined to entertain the
proposition
On Monday, however, all but Two OF
them wilted and went back to work on
the proposition made, all OF which goe
to show that Medicine Lodge laborine
men, like those in other localities, are
easily brought to time by the iron hee
of Capital. The two who refused to gc
back to work for ST. 25 are Ed Adams
and Will Langhart.

Lost Their POcket.BO0kS.

Hereafter when Capt. j. N. Titus
and DR.. S. Kociell 60 away from home
they should take, somebody with them
to take care of their money. Both Of
them lost their pocketbooks on their
respective trips last week and it was
only through streak of luck that
they recovered their money.
Capt. Titus lost his near Wellington.
1t fell out of his pocket while he was
handling some papers. and the peculiar
part of it was that the conductor on the
train called the attention of the passen-
gers to it and the Captain saw a little
boy claim it as the property OF his
mother, and he did not recognize it..
When the train reached Wichita Mr..
Titus missed it for the first time and
1t flashed over him in an instant that
the purse claimed by the boy at Wei
lington was his. He enlisted the as
sistance of a Santa Fe detective and
the boy was found by wire at Mulvane
and the pocketbook and all the money
except little small change was recov-
cred. Some papers had been destroyed
DR.. Kociell lost his purse in cab at
Topeka. He recovered it with some
difficulty with the aid of a big polica.

Both of them say they were assisting

McCague Of this city was elected Grand
Chief of the Rathbone Sisters Lodge.

Burglars and Bears.

A young lady who is attending COL
lege was visited last week by a girl
"chum" of bygOne days and of course
they sat up late and talked over old
joys, sorrows, cares and scares, and
before retiring each plated the others
hair as they used to do. In the night
the visitor dreamed Of burglars and let
out scream that aroused the house,
and before the lady of the house
could get to their room the other girl
was screaming TO beat the band, and
had hold of her chum's hair and was
hanging on like grim death to dead
niger, and this awakened the first
girl who turned her attention toward
saving her braid of hair. In less time
than it takes to tell it, they were both
awake and explaining to the lady of
the house. The visitor bad dreamed
that an ugly burglar was in the room,
and just when she screamed the other
girl was dreaming that grizzly bear
was after them, and In endeavoripg to
play the heroine aud prevent the bear
catching her chum, she caught the
bears tail which OF cou rse was the
braid of hair; and thus both were soon
awakened and horrible tragedy
ayerted.-Alva Pioneer.

The Clyne Meeting.

Hon Charles F. Clyne made an ex.
cellent speech at the court house on
Saturday and the audience was beyond
anything expected. This Is written
before the election, and upon the we'll.
grounded assumption that Mr.. Clyne
is nowhere near an election
as congressman but the fact re-.
mains that he Is brilliant young man
q forcible speaker and would do credit
to the halls Of congress. Judge Babb,
the Peoples candidate, ID an older man
but no less able. while Victor Musdock,
the republican candidate who without
a doubt received plurality Of the votes
yesterday, is inferior to any of his
opponents in point Of ability.
It is indeed regretted that the oppo.
sition to the republican party was not
united In this contest, especially when
such excellent men had to be sacrific
ed.
