Rosenbaum Grain CO. Case.
New Orleans, La: The United
States court of appeals Monday at
frmed the decision OF the circuit court
for the Northern district of Texas IN
the case of the Railroad commission
of Texas ct al, appellants, vs.. the j.
Rosenbaum Grain Company and the
Chicago, Rock Island and Texas rail-
way. This is the case appealed from
an order of the circuit court, which
was based on an order of the railroad
commission of Texas, which interfered
with the transmission of export grain
between the grain company and the
railroad at Fort Worth. The court
says:
"The circuit court has jurisdiction
of the controversy on account OF d.
verse citizenship OF the parties, and
the federal questions involved, and we
think it had power to issue the injunc-
ton complained of.
"The bill shows a case of equitable
relief to prevent damages for which
an action at law would furnish nc
complete and adequate remedy.
"On this appeal we do not feel call
ed to go further The order appealed
from is affirmed"

The Local Situation.

So far as we have been able to as
certain, and we have seen whole lot
aof people, from every part of the
county, the conditions in Barton
county are very favorable to the
election of the entire democratic, or
fusion, ticket. The democrats and
populists got together in harmonious
Joint convention and nominated a
most excellent set of candidates, from
Senator to coroner. Then, through
out the county, in every township.
the democrats and populists have got
together as has been the custom in
the past, and nominated satisfactory
township tickets composed. of men
) {as is the county ticket of both part
ies, who are working harmoniously
for the success of the whole. Little or
no attention is being paid to the
national ticket, but on the state ticket
there is, considerable interest being
taken in behalf of Judge Dale for
governor and Tom Dolan for state
treasurer. The friends of George B.
Ross, the fusion candidate for state
senator, are also very active, ano
Barton county will rebuke the dirty
stealing of that position of four year:
ago by giving Mr.. Ross greater
majority than before. There isevery
Q reason to believe that the whole ticke
is going TO find favor with a majority
of Barton county voters. We are al
for good men locally. and we will lie

battle as suits them best.

ner since our nomination. It is
more manly in him to make an open
fight, and we have the faith to believe
that when the friends of the DEMO
crat know that the double faced
schemer of the Leader is against US
it is proof positive that all good
people will be for us.
Then again, if he should be fair
and open and honorable in his
political movements, the candidates
on his own ticket would know all
about his offer to democrats to
l."harmonize" matters in behalf of his
candidate for representative and
county printer.
If he should be fair and open in
his political movements, and honest
in his intentions, he would not be
supporting man for legislative
Office who four years ago made an
effort to get law passed in the
state legislature compelling the de-
posting of county funds in the
county seat banks only, and forever
cutting off any possibility of banks
outside the county seat getting any
benefits under any circumstances.
Again, if he desires to be fair and
honest in his political course he will
tell some of the candidates on the
replb lean ticket that he is making
an effort to trade them off for support
for his special pets on his ticket; and
he will also tell them that his efforts
to thus "harmonize" matters in Lakin
township have been tnrned down by
all honest democrats.
BIT Cookie will lot be fair; he is
not built that way. His incessent
hammering upon prominent private
citizen of Ellinwood, through his
"buttinsky" squibs, his nosing into
affairs that do not concern him at all,
and his false and fulsome garbling of
what other people say, prove conclu-
sively that the editor of the Ellinwood
Leader, pretending as he does to be
strictly neutral in his paper, is purely
and simply an unprincipled tool OF
the worst element of his party, whose
days as the Ellinwood Poobah are
numbered, no matter which political
party wins in the nation.

We Learn What We Want More Or Less
By Our Contact With Other
pe0Die
People.

FSOpic
By what we see in other homes, by
what the necessity of the case de-
mandS.
We are always willing to take in a
new idea from someone else, if that
idea will benefit US, either by making
us healthier or happier.
We have always tried through
these columns, to- put something into
the house that will be of benefit to
everyone living there, and we come
before you this time, with better
selected stock of heating stoves than
ever before and We ask you to come
in and pick out a. Beckwith Round
Oak, an O. K. or Garland Round
Oak, a Moore's Air Tight Heater, or
a Garland hard coal base burner.
Coal you know, is an expensive
article nowadays, and you want to get
the stove that will give out the most
heat for the same amount of coal.
We have them. And then, why not
come in and get that cook stove, or
range that you have been talking
about getting for two or three years.
Put in the new Garland steel range,
or cook stove, and if it does not suit
you, we will take it out. We have out
hundreds of Garland stoves, and they
are all giving satisfaction.
If you want cheap, medium or
dear furnace, we have them, and can
suit you in any price or quality.
Don't think it is luxury, but now
put in your house bathtub, and a
lavatory. You will find it is one of
the best paying articles you have in
your house, beca use it will give you
health, and that is what you are after,
for health is wealth. If you can, let
us spout your house, and save the
rain water. 1t is the best water to use
and drink.
While you are setting up your
stoves, get one of our new rugs, or
carpets, linoleum, or oilcloth, curtains,
portieres, rope curtains, or a piece of
furniture. Those things. you k:,o"-,
that you want, and have been think
ing about getting for sometime.

is always best for horses, cattle, and

some of the republican papers,"
mentioning the, Ellinwood Leader. as
one of them, TO make political capital
out of the injunction suit which. Cooke,
Clark and two or three others are
pushing against the publishers of this
paper. The Leader editor poses as
being perfectly neutral in politics so
far as his paper is concerned, but in
last weeks issue he grabs the bait we
threw out to him and publicly
acknowledges, what everybody knew
beforeh and, that he IS running a re-
publican paper, and doing all he can
through his paper for the success of
the republican party, or at least a
certain faction of that party.
He sees that he can no longer fool the
loyal democrats of Lakin township, to
~hom he owes his living, and in the
Leader of Oct. 9th publishes column
and half of purely political matter
from the EDorado Republican,
denouncing the efforts of the demo
