Pleased With His Treatment.
Orleans, Neb., F.

Orleans, Neb., Feb. 10, 1904.
BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT,
Great Bend, Kas.
Sirs:-Since 1 came home 1 have
been thinking what visit had while
in your city. l must say was treat
ed with the greatest courtesy especially
by your bankers, county attorney and
city marshal. l think Ethe people of
Great Bend should be proud of their
marshalas he did some splendid work
in getting rhe stolen property together.
I was disappointed as to the parties
that stole the property. I have inves-
tigated the matter thoroughly since I
came home and have not got any clue
of the thieves. While in your city I
met an old friend that l had not seen
for twenty-five years. 1t was your har-
ness maker, Mr.. Erwin Wood. l
found him very pleasant gentleman
as of old. 1 will say again that 1 will
never forget your marshal, and if it is
in my power to assist him, or any of
your citizens, in any way, will be glad
to do so. I arrived home Sunday
evening in good condition.
Yours truly, J. B. AUSTIN.

HowTo Reform Politics.

Vote for men instead of party.
Don't be SO blinded with prejudice
thatyou can not see the qualifications
of men in another party. Vote for.
the man who is the most competent
for Office regardless of his party. If
man occupies political position
for which he has no qualification, he
commits a crime against God and
against society. Vote for men of
integrity; men, who can stand the
blaze of temptation; men who love
God and hate wrong. Be faithful at
the ballot box. Don't stand on your
dignity and say politics is too corrupt
for me. You will Insult the grave of
Washington, Lincoln and every man
who laid his life on the altar of his
country if you practice this doctrine.
If the caucuses are reeking with
putrefaction put on your old clothes
push yourself amidst the filth and
cast your vote.
In order to reform politics you
, must evangelize the people with a
pure and vital gospel. Get the
hearts of the people right and their
votes will be right. A mans heart
affects his external conditions. 1t is
the nature of mans thought and
feeling to incarnate itself. Every
painting is the incarnation of some
artist thought. Every piece of
machinery is the incarnation of some
Inventors thought. Houses, plows,
pictures, statues etc, are the out
pourings of human thought.
Anything that develops in man
versatility, brilliancy. aspiration,
nobility will not stop with the man
but flash itself on all his surroundings
If you fill the souls of men with
exalted ideals, lofty conceptions,
noble purposes; this will repeat itself
n new organizations, more refned
manners. Heart purity reflects itself
in laws, customs, institutions and
industries. What we want is to
stimulate the inward nature of man.
That Sunday School teacher or
public school teacher who is moulding
the hearts of the young to love truth
and hate wrong is doing more for
this country than the most brilliant
writer or orator in discussing the
political questions of the day.
If we could diffuse the spirit of
Christianity in the hearts of the peo-
pie throughout this land, many evils
of this country would be banished.

UGLY CHI 4 RGES.

One of the most revolving cases
that has ever occurred in this Sc c.
tion of the country, transpired
last week at the Lexington pest
house. if the charges as made by
the friends of the victim-Mr. j..
W. GibsOn-are true.
1t seems that Mr.. Gibson con-
tracted smallpox when employed
as n carpenter by n family by the
name Of Shropshire. in FaYette
county. He went to his home. at
the extreme edge of Lexington
Oemoved some hundreds of feet
from other houses, and was quar-
antined i'm his own house. The
health officer compelled him to 60
to the pest house, contrary to his
will.
1t is charged that the physician
at the pest house only visited the
man once; that the nurse neglected
him; that he was left alone some
twenty-four hours: that he died
alone and the body was left neg
lected some thirty-siN hours, while
his family were informed that be
was doing well and would soon be
out; that only few minutes be-
fore the family learned that he was
dead. he was reported as greatly
better; that the body was left so
long unattended to. before an un-
dertaker was summoned. that it
swelled and burst and the eXudi-
tions had run over the bed and
floor of the room to such an extent
as caused the undertaken great
trouble in getting ventilation
enough to handle the body.
The man was brother-in-law of
L. :. Deputy Marshal Rousseau
True, of this city, and had other
relatives here.
His family and Mr.. True make
these charges and stand ready to
substantiate them. so they claim.
If these things be true, it is a
case that calls for thorough and
vigorous investigation and the
severest punishment of the guilty
parties.

CAREFUL DRIVING - CARE
Full Shooting.

On Sunday afternoon, in the
short space of an hour, we saw five
horses slip and fall on the brick
streets, on the square bounded by
st. Clair and Ann streets. on
Main, and several others slipped
without falling.
Part of this was due TO reckless
driving, bot the greater part to the
fact that the horses were not prop
erly shod for driving on brick
streets. Several of the animals, on
doubt, showed up on Monday
morning, considerably bunged up,
and one, in all probability. badly
strained as its hind legs were
thrown in different directions.
We would respectfully suggest to
drivers more careful driving on
brick streets than on Macadam,
and, to those having charge of
horses, that they watch and see
when the horses shoes become
slippery and have the defect RENEE
