the bottomlands. The uplands will
dry out quickly.
The wheat prospect Of the county
was never better than now aid with
fair harvest weather the best crop in
the county's history will be gathered.
Scarcely an acre has been plowed up
and the farmers are well prepared to
harvest the crop. The corn is small
but fiourishing and with the prospect
never was better.
In the bottomlands along the creeks
in the south part OF the county the
overfowing waters have done consid.
cradle damage, six inches of water
falling in that section.
A hundred or more harvest hands
have arrived here and are waiting for
the beginning Of harvest.
The temperature fell rapidly as the
storm came ons the effect Of hail In
great quantities to the northwest.
Up the Lincoln branch strip Of 2OI

done in this county by hail.

The socialist lectures delivered in
Medicine Lodge and Forrest City
last week by DR.. Granville Low
ther were fairly we'll attended al
though the audiences were not as
large as they would have been un-
der more favorable weather. There
are very few people in Barber coun-
ty who are in full sympathy with
the cause of socialism but notwith-
standing the prejudice that exists
against it, all who heard DR.. Low
ther speak highly of his lectures.
There is something that impresses
one with his sincerity in what he
says and his propositions are so
fair and free from abuse that he at
once commands the admiration OF
his hearers. Whatever may be our
views regarding the cause DR.. Low
ther is defending, all are ready to
concede that he is very able man
on the rostrum and a cordial and
agreeable man personally.
The greatest blunder Methodisn
ever made was that of revoking his
license as a minister of the gospel
simply because he allied himself
with socialism. In time it will dc
the church infinitely greater injury
| than it has him.

JOHN McCLELLAN'S CASE AGAIN.

Mr.. Editor: The expediency of
referring to the John Mcclellan
case of which mention was made
in the Index last week consists in
that a good many of Barber county
people do not know that they can
have their eyes attended to by the
undersigned in the variety of disor-
ders. Eyes, red, infamed and near
ly blind were repeatedly restored
to perfect vision. Pieces of steel,
glass and cinder imbedded in the
substance of the eye were cut out
of the center of the eye sight, the
pupil.
In conclusion | have only to add
to those who by misfortune may
be interested that if your family
doctor whom you think the "best
in town" cannot help your sore eyes
or running ear come and see me.

TIME FOR ACTION.

In our Kiowa items this week is
short mention taken from the
Journal concerning the Denver,
Enid & Gulf railroad. The Iourn-
al states that the surveyors are run
ming a line from Kiowa north to
Nashville. If this be true, Medicine
Lodge should waste no time in
doing something. Of all the roads
mentioned, this one would be the
mostvalubale to the city and coun-
ty and to quietly sit down and per-
NIT it to dodge us would be a very
serious mistake. Mr.. Peckham,
the vice president of the company,
talked very favorably of building
through Medicine Lodge when he
was here and we are satisfied that
with the proper effort on the part
OF our people, it can be secured.
Medicine Lodge owes it to herself
to keep on the lookout.

TIE BURNING QUESTION.

There are lot of republicans in
this neck of the woods who are
trying to interpret the hieroglyphics
on the political signboard with
reference to the Hon. Hughellabus
Rankin. The Hon. Hugh was in
town nearly two whole days last
week and was closetted much of
the time with the powers that make
and unmake statesmen and the
conference was of sufficient magni-
tude and importance to occasion
the visit of a prominent man in
state politics. 1t is understood
very quietly that Hugh would like
to be sheriff and the purpose of the
meeting was to clean the track.
He had full complement of coach
men and valets and the King smil-
ed his blessing upon him, but, of
course, he got in so late that ''for
the sake of harmony several
promises to others have to be
violated if it is finally determined
to nominate hime. But if he finally
decides to go after it he will get it

that he will not break into the
field without the cordial and un-
qualified support of the political

A. B. REEVES FOR SENATOR.

The democrats of the 37th sena-
torial district of Kansas nominated
Hon. A. B. Reeves of Dodge City
for senator last Thursday. The
convention was held at Ashland.
Barber county was not represented
but our hearts were all with the
brethren in the work. Mr.. Reeves
is a very able man and the right
kind of a democrat to represent
Kansas people in the legislature
He will give Senator Noftzger
and his herd of assistant superin-
tendents of ventilation and deputy
cuspidor inspectors mighty inter
esting race. Another reason that
Barber people have for believing
that Mr.. Reeves is all right is the
fact that he is nephew of Judge
Lacy of this city. He should and
we believe will get handsome
majority in Barber county.
