A MUSICAL TREAT.

The First Annual Concert given
by the Medicine Lodge Musical
Union at the opera house last
Thursday night, more than fulfilled
the expectations of the public. The
Union is composed of home talent
with the exception of Mr.. Felix Nc

Wichita, who took leading part
on the program.
Every number on the program
was heartily applauded and encored
which proved conclusively that the
large audience enjoyed the enter

ed more than others, it was "Uncle
Billie" which was a response tc
an encore, by Mr.. McNeal, in which
the Union joined IN the chorus
from behind the scenes. 1t was a
portrayal of a good old southern

and hunting possum and rabbit il
winter Another was the quartet
"Po' iii lamb" by Messrs. McNeal
Griffin, Rackley and Nester. Th,

Barber county, independent OF the
blow that falls on the company, is
beyond estimation and it is very
much regretted. The Metz Block
was the largest building in Kiowa.
1t was a brick building with two
floors and large underground rooms.

lodge halls, professional offices and
a number of nicely furnished pri-
vate dwellings, and was built at a
cost of about $4,000. 1t was

Mr.. Metz and those associated
with him have not yet matured

will rebuild in Kiowa. The

Defeated but Honored.

The Medicine Lodge High School
foot ball team went to Harper on
Saturday to play return game in
that city. They got the worst of
it in a score of 27 to o. 1t seems
like our boys can occasionally do
business on the home gridiron but
when they go away from home
they lose out.
On their return home, however
they were received like prodigals
and the fatted calf awaited them
hguratively speaking. N. S. Pries'
and several others 'schipped in
and hired the band boys, and Z
large crowd met them as the mid
night train "drove in. There wa
merriment galore, and much of i
at the teams expense. The boy
aren't as successful on the gridirol
as they might be but they get ;
whole lot of glory out of it.

ENJOYED THE TRIP.
From last Wednesdays Eagle.

FROM last w ed1esdayS Eagle.
Frank Wilson, a young farmer
living in Kingman county, Kansas,
not far from Medicine Lodge, ar
rived in Kansas City yesterday
morning with Dora Fullen,
comely country lass from the same
county, whom he expected ere this
would be Mrs. Wilson, but he re-
turned home last night, alone and
disconsolate, and the wedding has
been indefinitely postponed
Wilson and his fiance went to
the Midland hotel for luncheon
after reaching the city, and then
went out to see the sights of in
terest around the business part of
the town. The department stores
had, of course, great interest for
Miss Fullen, and after each pill
grimage of the sort Wilson would
suggest that they go down to the
court house and have the marriage
ceremony performed and see the
town later. Each time she insisted
in putting it off, and finally, when
it could hardly be postponed longer
she announced that she didn't be-
lieve that she wanted to get mar
| ried Just now. She admitted that
she had a great desire for trip to
Kansas City and took up his offer
that they come here to get married,
primarily for the sake of the trip.
At that Wilson flared up and
told her that if the trip was all she
came for she could find her own
way of getting home, whereupon
she sweet1y informed him that she
had relatives in Kansas City, Kans.,
whom she had been wanting to
visit for long time, and she con-
sidered this to be as good a time
as any. Her lover then changed
his tactics and begged and pleaded
| with her, but she remained OBJ
stinate and the last he saw of her
was on board a car, bound for the
other side of the river.
| After vainly trying to drown his
| troubles, Wilson was telling his
tale of woe to a few interested
| listeners at the Midland last night,
| just before he left for his train.
81 just can't understand it, he
said, "Vhen asked Dora to marry
me, she took me up pretty quick,
but / never had any idea of such q
deal as this. guess I'll go back
| home, cause there amt no use to
try to do anything with her now.
but I'm hopin' that maybe she'll
change her mind yet. "
ST looks, said one of the by
ISLANDERS, as though she was true to
her name, and that Miss was only
foolin'.

dOus COnflaera tion.

The burning of the ]. w. Metz
Mercantile house at Kiowa ON
Tuesday night of last week was
the greatest casualty that ever be-
fell Barber county. Indeed old
citizens can not recall catastrophe
in southern Kansas equal to this
one for devastation.
The fire had its origin on the
stage of the opera house and was
first discovered at 7:35, just after
the janitor had lighted up prepara
tory for a Ball and had left to
carry up some water. The citizens
of Kiowa responded to the alarm
quickly and as a unit and the
wonder is that the fire was
confined to the Metz block.
The city has no water service and
all the fighting had to be done
with buckets and ladders, The
altitude of the walls of the brick
block is what assisted the men in
saving the other buildings; had the
fire once leaped over that wall the
main block of the business part of
the city would have been destroyed.
The final result of the fire is a
total loss of the Metz building
and stock. A large portion of the
dry goods was carried out and
saved that night and subsequently
stored in a frame building across
the street, but the following night,
it was consumed and the building
was only saved through hard work
and great vigilance on the part of
the citizens. In carrying the goods
into the building some smoldering
emberS were carried in with them.
| These, in time, ,kindled into another
| fire.
The entire loss is estimated at
about $4,000. with a total in
surance of $35,5oo. The Kiowa
papers make an itemized estimate
of the various losses as follows:
!. w. Metz and Metz Mercantile
Co. Loss on building and stock
$4,000 to $4,000, insured fol
$33,5oo.

RAILROAD TALK.
More Talk About New Reads. Another
New Company Organized. The D.
E. & G. Still Pushing
NOrthWeSterly.

Another railroad corporation has
been organized in southern Kansas.
The Kansas Railway Company,
with headquarters at Fredonia, and
a capital of $4,000, 900, was grant
ed a charter by the state board Sat-
urday. It proposes to build a road
from the Missouri line through
Crawford, Neosho, Wilson, Elk,
Butler, Cowley, Harper, Barber,
Comanche and Clark counties to
Ashland on the Oklahoma line; al
so branch lines in Greenwood, ,Sedg-
wick, Chautauqua, Kingman and
Pratt counties. Most of the direc-
tors are residents of southeastern
Kansas. They are T. ]. Hudson,
H. P. Hardy, T. F.. Dodd, James
Kennedy and H. c. Babb.
The movement is only in its in
fancy and what will materialize is
problematical. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that it will not be as
noisy without resulting in anything
as the late Great Bend Southern
and the Denver, Kansas & Atlantic.
The road that looks more promis-
ing to Medicine Lodge and Barber
county is the Denver, Enid s. Gulf.
Its rails are already laid a consid-
erable distance northwest of Enid
and it now seems almost certain
that it will come as far as Kiowa,
if no farther. The Wichita Eagle
last week stated that it would be
completed to Kiowa by January
Ist. That is rushing things a lit
tie and will hardly pan out, but
this road is going northwest. The
company are workers, not buffers
and the towns and counties that dc
something to get it will win. L
is the one road above all other:
| that this section of the countr,
should have.
