Gravel Bar Decision Is ValE-
able to the City of
Salem

The city Of Salem is certainly to be
Congratulated upon having won the i'm.
portant gravel bar case as it involves
what will prove a valuable vested right
for generations to come. The attorneys
who conducted the case had not lit
tie to overcome in the way Of local con
ditions and influences, and they are
what might, under the circumstances
be called double winners of the case.
The defendants are influential and pop
ular people, and had much public sym
pathy with them, and they were also
ably represented in the way Of legal
talent The defense made two very
strong points in their behalf, first that
the contract was incorrectly drawn, and
did not express their original inten-
tions, and second that the city had
grossly violated the terms Of the con
tract. These two points became un.
available to the defense, as the city's
attorneys proved that they were Of no
effect in point Of law. The court held
with the plaintiffs that the contract
given to the city by Mr.. Minto was ir-
revoeable in its nature, and this con.
trolled the decision.
The contract provides that the gravel
shall be taken from the northeast end
Of the bar, and the court holds that this
portion Of the contract must be com
piled with, and this the city claims has
been done. Carson, Adams and Cannon
represented the city, while Messrs.
Bingham and darcy represented the
defence.

The man on the stage who does the
trick Of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits TO the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening Of these bonds with no
effort TO escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear

MEDICINE" LODGE Is, HARPER 6.

The oot-ball game here last
Friday between the high school
elevens of Medicine Lodge and Har
per proved to be the best played
and most interesting game of the
season and resulted in victory for
Medicine Lodge. The game was
played in 22-minute halves. At
the end of the first half the score
was 6 to S in Harper's favor, each
side having scored a touchdown,
but our boys failed at the goal kick.
In the second half Medicine Lodge
scored two touchdowns, but failed
to kick goal. Harper did not score
in the last half, being held for
downs whenever she got possession
of the ball. The Medicine Lodge
line and team work proved super
ior to Harper, and their score was
due to the f1ne Work OF TWO OF their
backs, who are very fast.
The game was notable for fine
individual work by both teams
which made it especially interest
ing to the spectators.
The Harper boys won the respect
of the Medicine Lodge people by
their fair and gentlemanly conduct
at all times, and when our boys go
to Harper they will know they are
in good hands.

LOST A TEAM.

c. Walstad's team of fnef1aml
bletonians died last Friday night.
DR.. VanNess was called at the time
the horses were sick but could not
save them. He pronounces it a
case of blind-staggers. The fact
that both horses died the same
night-not more than an hour
apart-aroused some suspicion and
for a time there were indications
that someone had poisoned them,
but an examination of the stomach
of one of the horses failed to find
any trace of poison.
Mr.. Walstad was in Higgins,
Texas, at the time and did not
learn of his misfortune until his re-
turn home Saturday afternoon.
The span was valued at $3.50.
Eating wormy corn is supposed
TO nave brought on the sickness.
Too much care can not be taken in
feeding horses corn, especially SO
soon after it is shucked when the
worm eaten grains have not fallen
off. The safest way is to shell the
corn and put it in water and skim
off the wormy grains.

THE S. K. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Barber county was fairly well
represented at the Southern Kan
sas Teachers Association at Wich-
tia last Friday and Saturday, ,twen-
ty-fve being present.
All of the teachers from Kiowa
and Hazelton were present and all
but one from Medicine Lodge. On
account of the distance Kiowa
was awarded the prize for best at
tendance cash prize of $8 to
be expended for books. Thus each
year Barber county succeeds in Sc
curing at least one of the two
prizes for which the county can
compete. Last year Medicine
Lodge won; the year previous, Ha-
zelton. Had a few more teachers
over the county responded, the
county would have won the coun-
ty prize.
At each annual meeting there is
quite spirited rivalry for the
presidency. This year Prof. Ma
lor of this city and Prof. Stout Of
Kiowa decided to land it for Co.
Supt. Lake, which they did after
an interesting contest.
The following Barber county
teachers attended:
d. w. Major, Margaret >Kerno-
han, Zella Thomas, Mrs. Anna
Hahn, Medicine Lodge; Ira Stout,
Miss Sample, Cecile Osborne, Ad-
die Rumsey, Minnie Kincaid, Ada

COLLAR.BONE BROKEN.

The first serious foot ball aCci
dent of the season occurred last
Wednesday when Charley Green's
collar-bone was broken in prac-
tice game. DR.. Moore was called
to- set it and Charley is enduring
all kinds of agony because he won't
be able to "rush'' for few weeks.
Everybody to their own notion,
but it seems to us that a whole lot
of anxiety and worry could be saw
ed parents if the brutal game of
foot ball were prohibited by stat
ute.

A NEW PosT0PF1oE.
Medicine Lodge will Soon Have A Med.
efn Office. Will occupy First
Room in Chandler Block.

Last Wednesday Postmaster j..
n. Titus, c. Q. Chandler and ]. F.
Sawyer, assistant superintendent OF
the postoffice department, closed
deal for new and modern postof-
fee outfit and a Io-year lease on
the south room of the Chandler
block on the corner of Main and
Kansas avenue west, which will be
Medicine Lodges new postoffice
after January 5, 1905.
The contract was closed at Kan
sas City, The new outfit was pur-
chased from the Indianapolis Lock
Box Company at cost of $1,000.
1t was selected by Postmaster Ii
tus, principally, and was paid for
by Mr.. Chandler and is his proper
ty, although the patrons of our
postofice will have the benefit of
it. 1t will have $50 modern key
less boxes and IoI call boxes. The
wood work will be of quarter-saw-
ed oak and beautiful screens will
extend from the top of the furniture
frame to the ceiling. Under the
! boxes will be neat cabinets for the
postmaster files and his official
papers and private matters. This
is a new departure and found in
very few postohices. The building
will be, slightly remodeled. Anoth
er door will be cut in the south
side on Kansas avenue, which will
make two entrances from that side.
The first will be for the public
and the other for the postmaster's
| private entrance. B. S. Kaufman
will occupy the front part with his
news, stationery, jewelry and con-
fectionery business, the same as in
the present location.
The new outfit will be shipped
December 18th and Messrs. Titus
and Chandler think it will be in
stalled no later than January 5th.
The present outfit is the property
of Postmaster Titus. He has about
| $500 in it but is willing to sacri-
flee something to get something
nice. He may, perhaps, be able to
dispose of it.
The deal is not a very big mon
ey maker for Mr.. Chandler. It will
require about half of the proceeds
of the lease to reimburse him fol
the outlay of cash, but it will be a
great thing for the town and the
public. Superintendent Shaw says
this will be a finer and better
equipped postofflce than any pos.
sessed by any town in the west, ot
anything near Medicine Lodges
size, and nicer and better than ma
joritv of those in the larger towns
A modern postoffice is luxury, a
thing which very few western town:
have, and Messrs. Titus and Chand
: ler are entitled to a vote of thank:
from the public for their efforts il
this direction.
4 Capt. Titus will consider it &
favor if the public will pick thei
boxes as soon as the new fixtures
arrive SO that everything can be il
readiness as soon as possible.
