NO. q.

count these visionary votes. The
statement is incorrect. Mr.. Harvey
was not employed by Mr.. Walker
or his friends and he did not adj
wise that it was legal to count the
votes. He merely advised the
commissioners that they would be
in contempt if they did not obey
the order of the court. We have
it from republican county official
that Mr.. Harvey was employed by
Mr.. Nixon and his friends to come
to Medicine Lodge, but we are not
prepared to either affirm or deny.
About the $125 attorney fees
that was appropriated to Mr.. Nix
on, there is no information. The
miscellaneous appropriation bill
simply recites that the ap-
preparation was made for cat
torneys fees without giving even
hint what the nature of the at
torneys services were. AS Mr..
Nixon did not have contest in
the legislature, the people are
curious to know what the attorneys
did and who received it.
The more the machine and its
attaches dwell on this unfortunate
Elwood affair the worse they make
it for themselves. Perhaps the
people of Barber county will en-
dorse it; if they do more's the pity.
But certain it is that the trick can
not be justified by acknowledging
the corn and alleging fraud with
out proof, in other instances on the
part of the opposition.

DISTRICT COURT NEXT WEEK.

District court will convene next
Monday. There is a probability that
after the criminal cases are dispos-
ed of court will adjourn until the
middle of November. Most of the
lawyers are interested iii the cam
paign, either directly or for their
political friends, and they will
doubtless try to persuade
Judge Gillett to make the October
work as short as possible.
There are 6I cases on the docket
g criminal and So civil. The
criminal cases are as follows:
State VS.. Jesse, disturbing the
peace.
State VS.. T. E. Walker, grand
larceny.
State VS.. l. H. Ray, malicious
trespass.
State VS.. Newton Bros, murder.
State VS.. Jones, rape.
State VS.. Doolen, rape.
State VS.. Doolen, abduction for
the purpose of prostitution.
State VS.. Doolen, rape.

WELL DONE.

We enjoyed reading the Medi-
cine Lodge Kansas Index last
week. The first thing which
caught our eye on opening the pa
per was the write-up of the big
democratic convention and the
nomination. of Hon. 0. P. T. Ew-
ell of Kiowa for representative
That means the election of Mr..
Ewell and every mnn on the dem
ocratic ticket and the republican
f1xers who have counted out Henry
c. Walker and Others are up
against a live proposition. Ever
since we have known Mr.. Ewel1 he
could have had any political hon.
ors from the people of Barber
county by simply nodding his head
but he always refused. He tried
to wiggle out this time but was
nominated regardless.
If the machine republicans have
any money they want te bet that
Oliver Ewell will not be elected
over Nixon we have a couple of
hundred for them to cover at their
own sweet will.
The balance of the fusion ticket
is in line with that of repr esenta
tive and the entire ticket should be
run through without trouble.
Elect it.-Ingersoll ok Re
view, Mi1t Hulls paper.

IN THE BONDS OF MATRIMONY.

In THE BONDS OF MATRIMONY.
Joseph E. L ester of Cedar town
ship and Miss Blanche Lynde of
1azelton, were united in marriage
at the residence of the brides un-
Gle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. D. O.
Edwards, in the city of Hazelton,
on Wednesday evening, September
28, 1904. Rev. E. A. Ebright of
Winfield performed the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester departed
Thursday morning for wedding
tour which will include the Fair
at ST. Louis as we'll as other cities.
Mr.. Lester is a son of Hon. John
A. Lester and wife of Cedar town
ship. 1t is our good fortune to
enjoy his acquaintance and we on
ly reiterate what has often been
said by others when we say that
he is one of Barber county's best
citizens, of whom any community
may well be proud. His bride is a
most charming young lady. The
Index, with hosts of others, wishes
this worthy couple life replend
ent with joX and prosperity, a re-
ward to which they are Justly en-
titled.
Calvin B. Koontz and Daisy E.
Sanders of Moore township were
joined in wedlock on Tuesday ev--
ening, September Fl, 1904, in this
city. Probate Judge Gleason tied
the knot. They will reside on a
farm owned by the groom's moth
er, Mrs. Jno. Magee, a few miles
west of Hazelton. May success and
happiness be theirs.
Ebert E. Gamble and Miss Luz
la Stephens, two of Hazelton's pop
ular young people, were married
on Sunday, October 2nd. We wish
them all the good luck to which
human kind can be heir.
+, Blaine Jones and Miss Villa
York of Lake City surprised their
friends by quietly driving across
the country to Pratt and getting
married on Monday, Oct. 3rd.
Friends of both parties give Judge
Lester the credit for nerving them
up. The Index knows of no better
wish to extend than to hope that
lall of the Judges prophecies may
come to pass. They are certainly
one of the most deserving couples
in Barber county
| Howard A. Ball and Miss Maude
| Martin will be married at the
| First Christian church in this city
this evening at 7:3o. The groom
| is we'll known in this vicinity. He
formerly lived in Eagle township
but is now employed by the Chase
Hardware Company of this city.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J.E. Martin who reside on
what was formerly the Benedict
ranch few miles west of the city.
She is young lady of much refine
ment and enyiable attainments.
The Index wishes Mr.. and Mrs.
Ball long life of-success and hap
piness.
