that they had spent several hundred dollars
in one week for wines. One man spent
$500 one week for clothes and the next
week laid out an equal amount in tobacco
according to his report. The, fortunes

A CREDITABLE HOSPITAL.

Barber county patients who have
taken treatment at DR.. A. d.
UpdegraiI's hospital at Anthony
are more than pleased with the
result. G. II. Wisner of Sharon
township informs us that Mrs.
Wisner recently took treatment
there and had a surgical operation
performed. He says it was sue
cessful beyond their expectation
and that Mrs. Wisner as a result
thereof has better health than she
has had for many years. Others
who have been treated speak in
equally high praise of both the
Doctor anil the hospital. DR..
Updegraf is Medicine Lodge boy
and our people take a pardonable
pride in his ascendency.

WANTS TO MEET HIS CONSTITUENTS.

Hon. 0. P. T. Ewell, Barber
countys representative elect, is
very anxious to do all in his pow
er when the Legislature convenes,
for Barber county and Barber coun-
ty people particularly and the state
generally, and that he may be
fully advised of his constituencies
needs and desires, he requests every
body to call on him at any time
and express their ideas. Mr.. Ewell
will not so toTopeka with desire
to represent any particular party
or faction-he wants to represent
everybody regardless of party lines
Therefore if you know of any just
measure that this section of the
country should have enacted into
law, do not fail to see Mr.. Ewell
and talk to him about it.
In making this request Barber's
new representative but fulfllls the
expectations of the people who
elected him. We have every reason
to believe that no man who voted
for him will ever be sorry that he
did so.

The threat of the republican
members of congress to reduce the
the South's representation because
there is an educational qualiflca
ton placed on negroes there, and
thereby many of them can not vote,
has already done a great deal to-
ward stirring up race trouble. The
northern republicans who favor
negro domination in the South
would not submit to it themselves
if they lived there.

quartet is formed. The repertoire
of the company is as extensive and
varied as it is possible to wish, CON
