EDWARD PRICE.

Edward Price who was kicked
by a horse on Monday oflast week,
died at the home of VIM. Kenney
and wife two miles south of town
on Tuesday, July IS, 1905 at 2 o.
clock p. m. As soon as his physi-
clan was called his condition was
pronounced very critical but the
end came sooner than expected.
Mr.. Price was born in Delaware,
and came to Barber County about
seven years ago. He became a
member of the Christian Church at
Canema and afterward moved his
membership to Medicine Lodge.
He had no living relatives, but a
host of friends. The funeral SER
vices were held at the Christian
Church Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock after which he was inter
red in Highland Cemetery. The
Musical Union of which he was a
member furnished the music and
DR.. Ingle of Harper, formerly pas
tor of the church here, who bap-
tized him, preached the sermon,
assisted by DR.. VanDewalker and
Revs. Covert and Moore.
Ed was an industrious young
man and the only enemies he was
known to have were some few who
were prejudiced against him on ac-
count of his pronounced views on
religion and his stand against the
liquor traffic. He made his own
way through life and never wasted
his time in idleness or dissipation.
[ffis' a sssslse,S : ,:ss, will be sadly felt by
all with whom he associated, both
in a business way and socially.
Among his most intimate friends
in the county were the families OF
R. M. and VIM. Smith who were
instrumental in his removal from
Delaware to Kansas. For mum
Der of years he stayed with r. M
Smiths and he was almost as near
to them as one of the family. They
knew him as a whole-souled, up.
right young man and a conscien-
tious christian.
Mr.. Prrce was 81 years of age.

S. S. CONVENTION NOTES.

Incomplete reports have been re-
ceiyed from the districts west of
and that including Medicine Lodge
township. No report has been re- !.
.ceived from the northwest district.
We ask the superintendents of
the non-reported schools to attend
to this matter. Mail your report
at once addressed to the county
secretary-Dr. M. E. Taber, Med
icine Lodge.
Follow the example of the late
Mr.. Edward Price. Not having re-
ceived blank, he called for one,
filled it out. Now we have the
report. That act speaks for the
man.
Sunday school supplies will be
on exhibition at the convention.
Take time to examine them.
Another proof that the people of
our city have not grown weary in
we'll doing is the hospitable spirit
shown in helping to carry out the
plan for entertaining the guests of
the coming annual Sunday School
Convention.
We trust that any effort made to
make this convention a success
will be fully repaid by an actual
uplift for every school in Barber
county.
Don't fail to have your school,
nearby or far-away, represented at
the convention to be held in the
Baptist church next Thursday and
Friday. You cannot afford to pass
] it bv.

W. A. MYERS HURT.

w. x. Myers came very near
"schuffling off this mortal COLI on
Monday morning while sharpening
disc cutter on his emery wheel.
The wheel was propelled by a gas
olipe engine and rotated with great
velocity. The disc slipped while
In motion and struck Mr.. Myers be-
low the ribs and cut almost into
the intestines. He was at once
hurried to the office of Drs. Moore
and Donovan where the wound
was carefully sewed and dressed
and no serious results are feared.
The disc was not very large one,
to which fact alone Mr.. Myers
probably owes his life. AS it is he
will be laid up awhile but will re-
cover with the proper care. There
are dangers in all trades.

''SKINNED" AGAIN.

The Medicine Lodge base ball
team is playing in hard luck this
year. They won very few games
SO far this season. Their most re-
cent defeat was on the home dia-
mond Saturday. Harper came
over to help out in the entertain
ment for the matinee and won a
game in score of 10 to 7 and did
Mt try very hard either. 1t was a
nice clean game, however, and
everybody enjoyed it. McGee,
pitcher for the home team and
Buck, catcher, did as good or bet
ter work than the visiting battery
but they had poor support.
At the Matinee next Saturday
the rival shoot between the two
home gun clubs will take the time
heretofore allotted to the ball game.

REPAIR.THE ROAD.

The farmers who travel the road
that leads into the city from the
south are very much dissatisfied
with the condition of the road be-
tween the river bridge and few
miles south. They say it is SO SAN
dy and cut up that it is almost i'm
possible to pull a load over it and
unless the road overseer or some
one else in authority fixes it up at
once they will be compelled TO
haul their grain to other towns as
well as buy their goods there.
This is matter that cannot be
looked after too soon. Some of the
best trade that comes to Medicine
Lodge comes from the south and
if this trade is driven away it will
injure every merchant dong bus
mess here as we'll as injure the city
in general.
These men prefer to do their
trading here but they cannot afford
to pull their teams to death. 1t
would be good idea for our bus
mess men to call on Road Over
seer Morris and request him to get
busy.

A WE'LL EARNED REST.

Ed Teagle of Mingona township
left on Monday for a trip west.
From here he goes to Los Angeles
to visit awhile with his brothers,
Charley and Clate, and from there
he will go to Portland to see the
big show Ed is troubled with a
chronic headache and he. has been
advised that a change of climate
will do him good. Mrs. Teagle
will follow in about a month. Ed.
has leased both his farms-one in
Mingona and one in Valley-and
expects to be away at least a year.
He may invest in one of the Pacific
states if he finds something right.
We voice the sentiment of every
body when we say that we sincere
ly hope this county will not lose
Mr.. Teagle. He is one of the SUBJ
stantial men. He started empty
handed and is now the owner OF
two fine farms and a lot of personal
effects. He did not make it by
lounging around and cursing the
country but by buckling down to
| hard work. He is a fine example
of what strong arm and a good
head can do in this country. We
know of nobody who is better en-
titled to a rest and vacation.

SAMUEL ]. ADAMS.

Samuel !. Adams died on We'd
nesday, July 26, 1905 at $3.50 a. M,
aged 4S years and % days. For
nearly a year he was afflicted with
a disease that has baffled many
able physicians and his case has
been differently diagnosed in every
instance. 1t seemed to be gener-
al collapse and wearing out of the
entire system. Last fall he went
to Indiana and was treated by not
ed physicians in the cities of Co.
lumbus and Indianapolis, and while
there he was very near deaths
door but finally got better and was
able to return home in the spring
Though he was able to be up he
was very sick man and four weeks
before his death he grew so much
worse that he could no longer be
on his feet and each succeeding day
robbed him of what little strength
there was left.
Funeral sevices were held at the
family residence on Thursday fore
noon, conducted by Rev. Frank c.
Ward, pastor of the Baptist Church
and the remains were laid away in
Highland Cemetery.
Mr.. Adams has lived in Barber
county since 1885, excepting two
years the family lived in Seward
county. He was native of In
diana. Soon after he attained the
age of maj ority he went west anG
first located at Newton, Kansas
where he was married to Editf
Painter and in 1885 he came te
Barber county and settled on a
claim at what was then known a,

CAMP MEETING CLOSED.

The camp meeting which was
held in the Io-acre grove just north
10 G. L. Graves house in Elwood
township closed Sunday night.
The tabernacle was located in a ra-
vine, the bottoms and sloping sides
of which were beautifully shaded
by locusts and cottonwoods, max
ing the surroundings very pleasant
and picturesque.
The meetings were conducted by
Rev. I. w. Dibbens of the M. Z.
Church, assisted by Rev. C. A.
kitch, pastor in charge, Kiowa, and
Rev. E. Reese and Rev. w. H.
Moore of Medicine Lodge. The
attendance and order throughout
the meeting were very good. There
were about twenty-five conversions
and all the christians who attend
ed feel that they received a great
spiritual power, and a general spir-
itual atmosphere pervaded the
grounds and neighborhood. Steps
have been taken to organize a
prayer meeting and Christian En-
deavor and it was also voted to
make the campmeeting an an
nual affair.
The attendance on the last day
numbered about 400. The follow
ing morning Rev. Dibbens con-
Quoted a very impressive baptis-
NAL ceremony at a large pond near
the tabernacle.

PROUD OF HIS FRIENDS.

w. S. Watkins of Sharon town
ship who lost his house and house
hold goods and the family's wear
ing apparel by fire last week, wants
to heartily thank the people of
Medicine Lodge and Sharon who
came to his assistance. AS stated
last week, his neighbor, G. A. Buck
len, voluntarily circulated a SUBJ
scription paper in behalf of Mr..
Watkins. The amount raised in
this city was $15I.3o and we
understand more was subsequently
contributed at Sharon.
When a misfortune like this
strikes in our community we are
reminded that it is a mighty good
place to livein. Our people are al
ways ready to lend helping hand
and while many do not find them
selves able to do as much as they
would like to do, their mite is ap-
preciated just as much as though
they could contribute much, and
those who are able to give larger
amounts give it freely and feel that
they have lost nothing by so doing.
In this connection too much can
not be said in praise of Mr.. Buck
len, who not only subscribed liber-
ally in a financial way, but gave
several days of his time in help ing
his neighbor and friend in the hour
OF distress. Would that every man
in Barber county had as large a
heart as Mr.. Bucklen's.

who mourn his death, three boys
and three girls. Two of the child
rem are grown up and mauied, the
others ranging in age from three to
fourteen years.
Nearly everybody in Medicine
Lodge knew Sam Adams and it is
therefore unnecessary for us to ex-
tol his virtues, but this much can
be said: he was a man with a high
sense of duty; if there ever was a
man who practiced strict honesty he
was such man. No man ever ga We
himself more trouble on account of
a debt If he was unable to meet it
and no man ever tried harder to
observe the precepts laid down in
the Golden Rule in his daily life. He
has seen many of life's hardships
and trials the same as many others
nave who have endured the many
misfortunes that have come to
pioneer settlers. To use an awk-
ward phrase, he has had much hard
luck but was always able to pro-
vide well for his family until sick
ness and death laid its heavy and
unrelenting hand on him.
But he is gone We who have
known him as a friend SO long bow
our heads in sorrow, but the grief
of the family is sacred one and
only those who have been called
upon by fate to say the last fare
well to kind and devoted husband
and father can properly measure
their sorrow. To them our people
unite in extending most sincere
sympathy.

THE GRAPE MAN.

past several years, treated the In
dex to large basket of his Camp.
bells Early on Monday. We don't
know how they could be improved
upon. They are as large as an or
binary plum, very compact on the
clusters and will weigh from one
half pound to a pound per cluster.
To any one who entertains the
least doubt that table and wine
grapes of a superior quality can
be grown in Barber county, a cor
dial invitation is extended Such
an one to visit the small vineyard
of Capt. Brady, to see and test his
Campbell's Early, Moore's Ea4y,
Brighton, Delaware and others as
grown by him. You will know
that you have seen something af-
ter you have looked at his fruit.

GETTING BUSY.
The Denver, Enid & Gulf People will
Submit Proposition to the YO-
ters Of Barber County.

hon. Milton brown, the Kansas
attorney for the Denver, Enid &
Gulf Railroad Company is expect
ed here today or tomorrow to
formally make a proposition to the
people of Barber county and it will
then be up to the voters to either
accept or reject the road.
The company will ask a county
bond or loan to the amount of
$oo,ooo.oo. If the proposition is
accepted the road will enter the
county at Kiowa and follow the
Medicine valley northwest through
Medicine Lodge and Lake City
and north through Coats to con-
Meeting line, which when complet-
ed, will be through line from
Denver to New Orleans.
1t is expected that the petition
requesting the commissioners to
call the special bond election will
be circulated this week and be in
readiness for presentation next
week, much, of course, depending
on the activity and zeal of the peo-
pie themselves.
We do not think there is a man
in the county who would not glad
ly welcome this road but it is safe
to say that the bonds will have op-
position. There are people who
are opposed to bonds all the time
and that class will do all in their
power to defeat it. But the propo-
sition can not be fought on the
ground that there is nothing tangi-
bic in it. The ID. f. & G.. is not
dn unknown quantity. When ii
starts it does something and this
line is sure to be built; the only
question not yet determined is the
route. 1t is already in operation
from Guthrie to point northwest
of Enid, Oklahoma, and graded as
far as Cherokee, so that the ques-
tion of the company's intention is
not even debatable. The road is
financed by the Mississippi Valley
Trust Company, an institution ol
almost unlimited wealth and there.
fore does not lack the necessary
funds.
Ninety thousand dollars looks
pretty large, but when it is consid-
cred that there will be As miles OF
road in the county paying in taxes
alone from S 100 to $500 per mile
a year, it is a very good in
vestment, leaving wholly out of
consideration the great benefit g
through trunk line would bring
to every property own er in the
county.
The petitions calling for town
ship elections in Medicine Lodge
and Elm Mills, in behalf of the
Great Bend & Gulf company were
filed with the county clerk on
Monday, but the county com
missioners had not set a day fol
meeting when the Index was print
ed. They meet next Monday as q
board of levy and it is probable
that nothing will be done until
then.
We are getting SO many road:
these days it is hard to decide which
to light on first. We love 'em all
