Mr. Parker, Democratic nominee for
President, has never journeyed west of
Buffalo, N. Y. What does he know of
the great West, its people, their achieve
ments, their possibilities, their needs ?
How can he reconcile the demands of
the different sections, and decide great
questions properly and for the good of
the whole country? OF limited expert
ence, a narrowed horizon, he is not com

Parkerites Alarmed.

There are large number of Bryan
Democrats in New York State, and
their present attitude is viewed with
alarm by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or
ganization. 1t is said every follower of
W. ]. Bryan will vote the POpulist Ma
tionaI ticket. The Populists have PIT
a State ticket in the field, the first in
many years, and Bryan Democrat has
been placed at it's head. The Parkeri.es

When we increase our population we
increase our national revenues in pro-
portion. Unless we reduce the rate of
taxation we would double our national
revenues if we doubled our population.

Retail Merchants Bu.y.

Reports from every city in the country
tell of great activity among the retail
merchants, who are laying in stocks and
preparing for lively fall and winter
trade. When the retail merchants are
busy the country is prospecting. for they
depend largely on the working people for
custom. Democrats who are bowling
calamity and hard times should retire
to the Halls of Silence at Esopus and
immune themselves until the campaign
is over lest they he engulfed by the Re

Many People "from MIssouri. ,,

Tt is now said the Parker gold tele-
gram is a myth, that Parker sent no
such message TO St. Louis, and that it
was concocted by Sheehan and Hill in
the hope of winning the support of gold
Democrats. There are a great many
people from Missouri who will have
to be shown the original telegram before
they will believe it was genuine. but
they are mainly Bryanites. However,
if the telegram was not a myth, il GER
tainly was an afterthought.

Second Premise-The Democratic

Interesting Colorado Letter.
Fort Collins, Col.
Nov. II, 1904.

| NOV.
EDITOR BARTON Co. DEMoCRAT:-
suppose you have been expecting
a letter from us, as papa says he
promised to write to you. but as he is
not able to do SO will, at his request.
| We arrived at our journeys end
two weeks ago Sunday, all "safe and
sound" and papa stood the tn p a
great deal better than we expected.
for it was long, tiresome one. AS
you know, we started from there in a
wagon but did not get any farther
than Ness City with it for we were
afraid cold weather would overtake
US if we continued our journey over
land, so we decided to let my brother
take the horses and wagon back home
and we would go the rest of the way
by rail.
! We visited with some old acquaint-
ances of ours, by the name of Bruner,
for three weeks before resuming our
journey. They live on cattle'ranch,
twelve miles northwest of Ness City,
joining that of the Moses Brothers,
the one on which Mr.. RunuelIs,
formerly of Great Bend, now lives.
While there I had the opportunity
of seeing what had never seen nor
heard tell of before: cattle put through
what they call the dipping process"
for the "Texas itch" Moses Brothers
cattle were put through the process
while we were there and, as the dip
ping plant was not far away, Miss
Bruner and 1 went up there one
afternoon. Perhaps you are well
acquainted with this work but for
fear you are not I'll tell you. about it
for it was very interesting to me:
The cattle are all put in a large
corral from which about dozen at a
time are taken to a smaller corral.
Then they are driven into shute.
from which they jump into the dip.
ping pan. which is twenty-five feet
long, two and one half wide and
seven deep, filled with water contain
ing chemicals to kill the germs. From
this dipping pan they go into what is
called the ''dripping pen' where they
remain until almost dry, then they
are turned into another large corral
and the work is completed for ten
days, when they have to be put through
the process" again and then they are
considered entirely cured of the dis
ease.
This country, Colorado. differs so
much from Kansas, and especially
Ness county, for as far as the eye can
reach all one can see there, is prairie
and here all one can see is mountains.
There is some beautiful scenery here
though. My uncle's house, at which
We are staying, is completely sur
rounded by mountains and, from the
highest one near here, Pixies Peak
may be seen, although it is about
one hundred and fifty miles away.
! 1 had forgotten to tell you that
papa is slowly improving, although
he has not been so well for the last
few days but we think he has caught
slight cold and will be all right in
short time. I think this is just the
place for him to improve for there are
so many pine trees here and we all
know that the pines are beneficial for
lung trouble.
Mamma and l are getting along
fine but we are all getting little bit
honesick for Kansas.
We send our best regards to our
Barton county friends and wish them
success.
Yours Respectfully,
ETA BARDWELL.

Fatal Work.

New York, March 7.-Pneumonia
and grip haze spread to such en extent
in this city as to be practically cpl
sdemic. There are q. present about
300 cases of pneumonia in Bellevue
hospital and other hospitals have a
proportionate number.
Pneumonia has attacked persons in
all stations of life. The mortality
among the Door is almost unprecedent-
ed. and the number of deaths among
the well-to-do is unusually large.
Tests are being made in several
hospitals in this city to ascertain if
the germ bacillus is present in the
cases diagnosed as influenza. AT one
hospital the bacillus was found in nine
out sof every ten of the respiratory
cases. Bellevue hospital investigators
found the bacillus present in about
20 per cent.
