That Batesburg has a number OF
first class stores there is no doubt
but, that she has plenty of them, for
her present needs, there is also no

AT WHITE STONE.

The annual meeting Of the State
Press Association has come and gone.
So much has been written and said
that there is but little left to COM
ment upon. While there were several
opinions as to where the meeting
should be held next year, there was
but one in reference to the beautiful
way in which Mr. Sheftall, the genial
proprietor of White Stone Springs
Hotel, honored each and every one of
the .vielders Of the pen.
White Stone is truly a beautiful
place, located on the apex of dimin-
utive mountain, not too high to make
1t wearysome journey to reach, but
just high enough to give one an appe-
tite, after the mild form OF exercise it
requires to climb the elevation.
The hotel is strictly modern in all
its appointments; the service is be-
yond reproacb; the rooms and beds are
all that could be desired: the ball
room, located on the top floor, is al
ways cool and airy. The band rem
dered numberless numbers, three or
four times day, and the only>one ex-
ception that could possibly be COM
planned of, was the fact that the rep
ertoire did not include Dixie. Ii was
useless to ask from what part of the
world they hied.
1t is huge Great to meet all the
- men and great women Of this, the
greatest association in the whole
world, for telling the great public
what is transpiring, not only in the
immediate vicinity, but from ocean to

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

Memorial services were largely
attended at the opera house on
Sunday. All the ministers and
churches in the city joined in the
services and all who had the good
fortune to attend enjoyed them very
much. Rev. Frank c. Ward, pas
tor of the Baptist church, preached
the memorial sermon and was
very highly complimented.
Decoration day was observed
yesterday. The business houses
were closed between the hours of
10 a. m. and 3 p. m. as requested
by the mayor, and all attended the
exercises. A large procession went
to the cemetery and decorated the
graves of the departed heroes and
the beloved dead, in the forenoon,
and in the afternoon there were ex-
ercises at the opera house consist
ing of music by a selected choir
and an able address by Seward l..
Field. The weather was all that
could be wished for and there was
a large turnout. The world is bet
ter for these beautiful and impres-
sive memorial occasions. The
Fatherhood of God and the broth
erhood of man are the fundament-
al principles upon which these
sacred memorials are founded and
they appeal to the human soul in
that magnetic, indescribable way
that makes the whole world feel
akin"

DEATHS CALL.
DR.. Holmes Fuaeral Last Thursday.
lnterment II Highland Cenetery.

The funeral of DIR. B. r. Holmes
was held at the residence of !. S.
Runyan last Thursday at 3 o'clock
p. m. and the remains laid to rest
in Highland Cemetery. As stated
last week, DR.. Holmes died very
suddenly in a hospital in Kansas
City on Monday, May aand. The
relatives had not even known that
he was in Kansas City or that he
was i'll. He was taking treatment
for rheumatism and the treatment
is supposed to have affected his
heart.
The funeral sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Frank c. Ward of the
Baptist church. At the grave the
Masonic rites were observed. DR..
Donovan, the deceased's nephew,
arrived with the body on Wednes-
day night. The Masons and Shrin-
ers of Kansas City took charge of
the body Immediately after Dr..
Holmes death until DR.. Donovan
arrived.
DR.. Holmes was 49 years old and
is survived by a daughter, Miss.
Una Holmes, three sisters, Mrs. j..
S. Runyan, Mrs. ]. P. Hall, Mrs.
Wall, and two brothers, ]. r.
Holmes and Robert Holmes. All
reside in this city or county except

TYREE PARDON HEARING.

Gov. Hoch will hear the applica-
tion for the pardon of John Tyree
who was sent to the peniteniiary
from this county over a year ago
upon conviction of rape, June 10th.
His attorneys, Seward l. Field and
County Attorney Griffin, are hope
full of favorable action. Ex-Coun-
ty Attorney Tincher who prosecut-
ed him, will also join in the re-
quest. Mr.. Tyree, it is conceded,
is the best man In the Graham
bunch and it is the feeling of the
general public that he has suffered
ample punishment for his offense.
There were whole lot of mitigat-
ing circumstances connected with
his wrong doing and John is not a
bad man at heart. Everybody
who is familiar with the case hopes
for his pardon.

and south or different road. The
present proposition is being sup
ported by some of our most infuen-
tial men who have sunk considera-
ble money in it and if, through
jealousy or spite, its defeat should
be accomplished it is barely posi-
bic that some of these men might
not line up for some other mems
hobby. Human nature is very
much alike the world over.
This is a poor time for the people
of Barber county, more especially
those of Medicine Lodge, to gee
haw around the stump and pull
against each other. A community
that does not stand united is not
worth a hoot in hades and our peo-
pie should profit from examples of
Others. A few years ago the city
OF Anthony was In about the same
financial condition that Medicine
Lodge now is, but her people went
to work. The result is that she is
now railroad town, a trade CEN
ter and her financial burdens al
ready materially reduced and under
easy control. She secured her rail
roads, then followed immigration
and investors. In other words, she did
not perch herself on an antiquated
cliff and chew the rag, nor did she
chase after rainbows; she did bust
ness. Isn't it about time for Medi-
cine Lodge to wake up and emu
late her example?
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1905-05-31

From this it is apparent that GER
tainly no harm can be done by vot-
ing the desired aid and the objec-
tion urged that it will bar other
roads is overcome, for no new COM
pany could get in shape to ask aid
in SO short a time. 1t seems to us
that all who are in favor of voting
aid at all have sufficient assurance
TO justify them in supporting the
proposition. Those, Of course, who
are opposed to bonds undera all con-
ditions can consistently oppose
this movement, but a man who says
he wants to see a railroad built, can
not.

JAPS WIN AGAIN.

The long expected naval en-
counter between the Japs and Rus
slams came to head on Saturday
afternoon in Korea strait. 1t was
a decisive Jap victory. Admiral
Togo captured and sunk twelve
Russian warships, two transports
and two torpedo boat destroyers.
The Russian flagship and several
battleships were badly damaged
and the Japs are still in pursuit of
the fleeing Russian squadron.
Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and sew
eral thousands of other Russians
are captured. The Japs did not
lose any of their large battleships
and only a few of their torpedoes.
This is the most disastrous blow
Russia has so far sustained in the
far east war. For weeks st. Peters
burg has been sending out rumors
of a naval engagement with a
Russian victory but when the cris-
is was reached, the Japs, as usual,
were there with the goods. 1t is
about time for the czar to "holler"
enough.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1905-05-31
Total,

Next Tuesday the people of the
six townships mentioned in this
article, will make a decision.
Those who are opposed to voting
aid are divided into two classes. One
class which is eternally opposed to
bonded indebtedness of any descrip-
tion regardless of results, and the
other class which believes there is
no chance of securing the road and
that the voting of the bonds would
bar other roads from building for
the reason that the townships, hav-
ing voted the limit under the law,
could not aid other companies.
There is some weight in the OBJ
lection but when it is remembered
that work on the road must begin
in good faith before January I, 1906
and the road must be in operation
within two years from date, the OBJ
lection is at lesst partially over
come. If, for example, the bonds
are voted and there is no activity,
no grading done before January,
the bonds are dead and another
election can be called to vote aid
to any other company. If there
should be work done, no matter
how much, and if from any cause
the company did not complete and
operate the road within two years,
the bonds would also be void. 1T
shonld be understood that the bonds do
not pass into the control of the com
Pany nntil the road is in actual obey-
alton, and hence there is little to be
lost in supporting the proposition.
There is another feature that is
worth consideration on the part
of those who are opposing the
bonds because they want north

A GUARANTEE.

The following is true copy of
the guarantee made by the COM
pany that the road shall be COM
menced within the specified time
or the bonds, if voted, shall be for
feited. A similar agreement has
been drawn to apply to the town

bonds for the above Railway Com
pany are carried at the election on
June 6, 1905 and permanent work
and grading is not commenced on
