BILLIARD Halls BURNED.

lard Halls Totally Des troyed
Yesterday Morning.

Another conflagration has visited
Medicine Lodge. This time L. A.
shannon and E. l.. Brewer, owners of
the two billiard halls. are the losers.
The fire was fist discovered at 2:3O
yesterday morning. It started In the
rear end Of Shannon's billiard hall
and later extended to Brewers hall
immediately north of it.
II required some time after the fire
was discovered and the alarm was
spread, to secure water pressure and
when it finally did come both buildings
were destroyed and all that was left to
do was to protect the adjoining build
lngs-Luallen's bakery and the Cresset
building. It Is not the practice to
keep up the fire at the pumping station
at night, more than to bank it, hence
when fire breaks out after retiring
hours it requires some time for pres.
sure to be furnished.
AS usual in SUCH cases, the origin
and cause of the fire are unknown.
There are plenty of theories and
surmisings but there is nothing definite
and certain
About fifty per cent of the loss is
covered by insurance. Mr.. Brewers
was new building as we'll as new
billiard and pool effects, the total cost
of which was something over $500.
He was insured for $1,000. Mr.. Shan
non carried $3.50 insurance. His build
ing and paraphernalia were worth
twice that amount.
Mr.. Brewer says he will rebuild at
once

Got Twenty Days.

Shortly after the Index was printed
last week, Deputy Sheriff Sparks drove
in with Robt. Fishburn who had been
at large more than week, after having
been charged with assaulting his faith.
er with intent to murder him. Bob had
been at work a few miles north of Isa.
bel in Pratt county. He bought some
clothes at Isabel on Sunday, the 18th,
and the sheriff heard of it. That is the
way he happened to be found.
On Wednesday afternoon he was
taken before Justice Collins and the
charge was reduced to simple assault
On agreement to plead guilty. Judge
Collins sentenced him to the county
Jail for 20 days.
Robert says he will leave the county
as soon as he gets out and will hence
forth ignore his father. He says he
has been very much imposed upon and
rather than haYe any more trouble he
will leaYe. He says he did not strike
the old gentleman and had no intention
to do so.

The WaterWorkS Problem.

Mayor Lindley does not think that
the proposition advanced by many
OF the citizens to abandon the damn
and ditch at this time is expedient or
practical. He says he has accumulated
a great deal Of correspondence and he
hnds that the cost OF new system with
we'll and stand pipe woud be no less
than $l2,0O0.00. He agrees that this
would have been the wise and
economical way in the first instance
but now that we have the present
system he thinks it would be foolish to
ABANDON it. In fact he says it is out Of
the city's financial ability to put in
another system at this time. Water
consumers enjoy more privileges here
than in large cities. he says, and If the
people lived elsewhere they would ap-
preciate the water service IN Medicine
Lodge.
1t is expected that the rents as now
adjusted Will cover the expense of
operation and that the service will be
much better than formerly. The ad-
mlnistration Is certainly doing it's
best to give the patrons as good service
as the c!ty's finances wi II permit.

MillS-JeSse.

Jefferson D. Mills and Bette Jesse
were married at Woodward Ok, on
Saturday April II, 1903.

last week bus jeff was cute enough to
keep US in the dark until after our pa
per was printed. We don't know what
we will do to even up with him but We
promise that we will even up with him
some time.
MIR. Mills and his bride arrived home
on Thursday and began house keep
ing on the Mills ranch In MIngona

royal reception by their numerous
friends and neighbors, an account of
which is given by our Cedar Creek cor

An Occupation Tax.

The probability is, unless a very
strong protest goes up from tue citizens,
that the new city administration will
levy an occupation tax on the business
men OF this city. II Is said to have
been practically agreed upon already.
This Is certainly great imposition
on the legitimate business men of the
city.
Our city and school levles are already
up to the full llmlt-4O mills eacii-and
the total levy is 123 mills-over II per
cent-which is considerably more than
current interest rates. Add an Occupa-
tlOn tax to this and 1t will probably
aggregate 20 per cent. With one-fifth of
the assessed valuation consumed by
taxes, how long can legitimate business
survive2
The Index is we'll aware that the
occupation tax is intended to reach
certain institutions and il 1t did not
affect others there would not be great
deal of complaint. but to assess a tre-
mendous tax against all business men
for the purpose of catching a few who
perhaps should pay monthly fines or
license is radically wrong.
The Mayor and Council should hest.
tate long while before they burden
the merchants with more taxes.

Bought a Ranch.

George and VIM. Lonker, sons Of
William Lonker, Of Eagle tow nship,
bought a ranch In Seward county last
week and will take their cattle out their
this summer. The young men are
making success at the cattle business
and the combined herd of the Lonker
family is getting so large that they
must have more range than is afforded
here.
Jas. Springer also bought a ranch
there. and Jas. Hamlin is figuring on
buying. Land is cheap in Seward coun-
ty and range Is good.

Another Home Stricken.

On last Thursday night, April 18th,
Mr.and Mrs. Cainie Farmer we're called
upon to give up their sweet little girl,
Ruby, at the tender age Of four years,
six months and nine days.
She was taken sick on Tuesday with
tonsilitis. which later developed into
spinal menengitls. After the first day
OF her sickness there was very little
hope OF her recovery. The fond parents
aided by physicians did all that mortal
beings could to restore their darling
girl to health but to no avail and on
Thursday evening at 9 O'Clock the
spirit of little Ruby pass into the Great
Beyond.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Friday by Rev. Patterson,
pastor Of the M. E. church.
Ruby was a sweet, bright little girl.
and her death leaves vacancy in the
home which only those who have un-
dergone a similar sad experience
Can realize. The solemnity Of the
occasion was aggravated from the
fact that Mrs. Farmer. the afflicted
mother, could not attend the funeral on
account of sickness brought about by
the ordeal through which she passed
and poor health prior to the little girls
sickness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farmer moved to this
city from the northwest part of the
county last fall. They are family of
the greatest worth are held in high
esteem by all who know them.
The Index, with numerous other
friends. sympathize deeply with them
in the loss Of one of the jewels of their
household.

The Growth of Trees.

Speaking about a years growth Of

He saw an account in paper a few

feet last year. DR.. Kociell says he has
trees that beat that two feet.
j. L. Brady also has trees that grew
more than seven feet last year. Trees
will grow mighty fast in this country

Roney'S Boys Excellent.

The Roney's Boys engagement at the
opera house last Thursday night afford.
ed more continuous and unbroken en-

seasons course. The elaborate press
notices which they receive in all por.
tions OF the country many of which
have been reproduced in these columns
are not overdrawn and do them moth
ing more than we'll merited justice.
The company is composed of six peo.
pie, including the manager and director
Henry B. Roney. The youngest
boy is nine years of age and the Oldest
the violinist. is eighteen. The quartetts
team is composed of the four small
boys-the alto and tenor below the
teens and the soprano and bass four.
teen and fifteen years of age respect
lvely.
Mr.. Roney trained them in Chicago.
They are not his children, as many be.
lieved, but each one comes from a diff
ferent family. Their attachments show
Mr.. Rcney to be superior instructor.
The young people are certainly highly
gifted and their singing and instru-
mental music was wonderful. Medl.
cine Lodge was never before honored
with an entertainment of this kind and
the large audience appreciated 1t very
much.
The fame of this company extends
all over America.
