Coal Oil FiendS.

Someone threw lot Of coal oil on a
number of buildings on west Main
street Sunday night. The bank, Bene-
fiel's hardware, the Gem drug store,
R. E. Kathren's barber shop and Mrs.
Rubert's millinery store were all oiled
in few places.
The motive is, of course, problemati-
cal. Those who are opposed 10 the ap-
pointment of a city marshal say it was
the work of somebody who wants the
job-a sort Of an illustration to prove
to the mayor and council that the city
needs marshal. Others say it Is the
devi)ment of hoodlums always bent on
mischief. while some insist that incen.
diarism was really intended.
Whether harm was intended or not,
the act can not be too strongly con-
demned A person who will saturate
buildings with coal oil is a dangerous
character and his offense can not be re,
garded as a joke, even though he may
look upon it as sport.

April Fool.

The April fool fad was worked more
than usual in Medicine Lodge last Fri.
day. Nearly everybody who wasn't on
MS guard was made a victim. The
most ludicrous examples which have
come TO our notice were tricks worked
on Jake White and Charley Burney in
the respective barber shops, and a lob
which the court house fellows put up
on Probate Judge Gleason. Early in
the morning somebody took the shaw
ing soap out Of Jake Whites shaving
mug and put in peeled potato of a
sort or yellowish shade and Jake
shaved two customers before he "tum.
oled." The boys who watched him say
he used wonderful exertion to get a
Iather out of that potato, and his Gus.
toners suffered more than he did. AT.
ter the trick play er had bushel of fun
out or Jake he went up to Charley
Burney's shop and repeated the slelght.
ot-hand performance. Charley discov.
cred the game" after he had shaved
one man and he had large audience
too.
In Judge Gleason's case, the court
house fellows got upa voluminous mail
which resembled legal documents. and
dropped them into the postofice. When
he brought them to his Office and broke
the seal, he found them to be a bunch
of old ballots.

Barber County Lands Again.

At the Socialist state convention in
wichita last Thursday A. Roessler aud
II. L. Tilden both of Valley township,
got place on the state ticket. MIR.
Roessler was nominated for lieutenant
governor and Mr.. Tilden was nominal.
ed for presidential elector. They were
formerly populists but withdrew from
the party because they could not en-.
dOrse fusion.
One year ago Mr.. ROessler was the
socialist candidate for congressman of
The 9TH district. Notwithstanding it
was special election and busy time,
he received more votes than were ever
cast for any socialist candidate In the
district before.

NOT long since an eastern gentleman
who owns property in Barber county
wrote his agent that he wished TO sub.
scribe for Medicine Lodge paper and
requested sample copy. The agent
did not wish to show partiality so he
sent copies of both papers that the
property owner might make his own
selection. Last week the Cresset re.
ceived the gentleman's subscription
Cresset.
A few more such streaks of luck
ought to enable the "organ' to reduce
its complimentary list. Some peo.
pie who have been carrying the sheet
home would like to know how to get
rid OF 1t. The eastern gentleman
may eventually bring the solution. By
the way, the ''organ" seems to be very
popular at distance but it won't bear
close acquaintance.

A Poverty Ball.

The dancing school closed last Friday
night with something like sixty con-
verts. The closing number was a grand
ball with an April Fool Poverty Ball
side attraction for the benefit of the
ladies. The Professor is responsible
for the specially. He suggested that it
would be the proper thing for the gen
tlemen to get into poverty garb and sur.
prise the ladies in April fool fashion.
They took him at his suggestion and
they looked poverty stricken sure
enough. Some of the ladies said they
did not know that there were so many
old clothes and ugly men in town. The
men had to do their own sewing and
patching. When the scheme was plot
ted it was part of the obligation that
the secret would not be breathed to a
woman in town for it was reasoned.
and correctly, TOO. that If one woman
found it out, they would all know 1t In,
side Of an hour and the April tool Joke
would be on the men themselves.
Prof. Flint Is certainly a polished
dancer. We don't know how we'll lie
succeeded with the class but we do
know that he had some awfully Door
material to work on and if they eventu.
ally develop into dancers he is entitled
to chrome.

A letter from our friend, John NJ.
Doan, formerly OF Lake City township.
states that he has just closed a success.
full term of school at Dewey, Indian
territory. and is again located at Inde.
pendence, Kansas. he speaks very
complimentary of the Dewey schools.
There are no school laws in the terri.
tory and no reports to make, but his
pupils took deep interest in the work
and progressed rapidly. Prof. Doan
closes with regrets that the Populists
OF Barber county have joined the Dem.
ocrats. He thinks the Populist organ
lzation is needed to make the Democrats
tote fair. He says he has great faith
In the honesty and political righteous.
Dess of western democrats but he re-
CARDS eastern and southern democrats
with suspicion. While he does not en-.
tirely endorse what his Barber county
friends have done in this respect he
says he knows that they mean well and
he just wanted to express himself. We
believe if Mr.. Doan lad been here in
the fall OF 1902 and had seen how popu-
list and democrat votes had been
thrown aside and the will OF the people
ignored, he would, in common with the
rest of US, favor one ticket. But we
appreciate the fact that he is sincere in
what be says and we cheerfully give
space to his views. When he was a
Barber county voter he always gave
the fusion ticket loyal support. AS an
educator he had few equals In Barber
county. May success continue to be
his.
