A HOUSE WARNER.

S. Brewer who owns the form
er Aver place a few miles south
east OF town, moved into his new
ly built house last week and a
number of his friends and neigh
bors concluded that it would be
the proper thing to celebrate the
event properly. Saturday happen
ed to be his birthday and it afford
ed the opportunity to dedicate the
new house and treat him to a
birthday surprise both at the same
time. The leaders in the move.
ment were, Mrs. w. E. Brewer, his
daughter law; Mrs. Fred Holser,
Mrs. ]. H. Mcintyre, Mrs. Harry
Stone and Mrs. Ingle. About fifty
guests were present. There was
ice cream, cake, candy and fruit
for the inner man and violin and
organ and splendid vocal music
for entertainment otherwise. The
party did not break up until after
midnight, and our reporter says it
was mighty jolly crowd which
for genuine pleasure could not be
surpassed, all of which speaks high
ly of the social qualities or Mr..
Brewers neighbors, as we'll as the
esteem in which he is held.
The Index is under many obi
cations to Mrs. Holser for a liberal
supply of the fine cake which con-
stituted a part of the evenings
feast.

THIS MAN VOTES "YES."

John T. McGrath of Eagle, is in
favor of voting bonds for the Den
yer, Kansas & Gulf railroad.
When a man like John McGrath
takes position of that kind every
citizen in the county is safe in
shouting hearty amen. He has
been citizen and taxpayer of Bar
Der county since 1878 and has serv-
ed on the board of county commits
sioners at time when it required
a mighty good head for business to
keep the old ship from going to
wreck. He can see financial prop
osition quicker than most of us
and so far as his honesty and integ-
rity goes-that has never been
questioned. Therefore, we say
when he comes out fat-footed in
favor of a public improvement,
there is something in it. He is not
prompted by personal motives,
either. He lives about as far from
the proposed line as any farmer in
the county, so that the immediate
facilities that he would enjoy from
a personal standpoint would be
small item, but he takes broader
view of the situation. He knows
that the road will pay back the
bonds and interest to the county in
the way of taxes before they ma
ture, and he knows too that a road
like this will give every farmer
from five to ten cents a bushel
more for his wheat, more for his
corn, more for his cattle, more for
his hogs, and pay less for his lum-
Der and coal and many other prod
ucts that he uses. He figures also,
and correctly too, that the amount
of taxes which every property own
Ell would have to pay on account
of the road would be practically
nothing compared with the increas-
ed value of real estate which the
road would create. 1t would be a
| difficult matter to even start to as
sail Mr. McGrath's argument.

RACES GALORE.

An all-round race man, Ben Ia
cobs, who makes his headquarters
at Stafford, Kansas, struck town last
week and since his arrival there
nave been numerous attractio ms at
the race track. Tuesday was foot
race day. Two races were match
ed in which it was our home man,
Boyd Roberts of Deerhead, against
two swift ones that travel with
Jacobs. Roberts ran away from
both of them without great effort.
The purses were $25 and $50.
On Saturday Harry Stevens sor-
rel and the Smith black horse from
up the river were matched. Har-
RVS horse won it. 1t was a 800
yard race. On Friday the same
horse beat the Fuller colt.
On Monday there was a race be-
tween VIM. Fullers's sorrel colt and
a bay owned by Jacobs for SIS on
side. This was the most inter
esting one in the bunch. The sor-
rel, being the home horse, was the
favorite, but the bay stallion came
out a neck ahead. 1t was an eighth
dash, time eleven seconds, the fast
est eighth ever run on this track.
Lap and tap start, bay ran wide
but recovered and finished nicely.
The sorrel did nice work also. A
great many side bets were offered
on the colt and as quickly called.
1t is probable that the same horses
| will be matched again. Fuller
thinks the colt has license to de-
feat the bay and Jacobs will have
to be shown.
Another race is billed for Sept.
18th, between Stevens sorrel and
a Greensburg horse.

A HAY RACK PARTY.

On Friday evening the young
people Of the city INDUCED in a
unique hay-rack party. 1t was in
the nature of a farewell to the
young men who are about to go
away to college. Four homes were
invaded and the party was trans
ported to and fro by means of three
large hay wagons and some large
and we'll developed mules and
horses. The homes visited were
those of G. ]. Southworth and wife
in honor of their son, Otto, who
leaves the latter part of the week
for Lexington, Mo-; T. L. Lindley
and wife, in honor of Frank who
goes to the same place; ]. c. Davis
and wife in honor of Guilford, who
goes to Mexico, Mo-, Sept. Goth; L.
w. Chaplin and wife, two miles
east and north of the city, in honor
of their son, Lee, who goes to Sa-
lima, Kansas. At each place music
and light refreshments were the
elements that made life merry. On
Walnut street one of the wagons
broke down and it became necessa-
ny to sdouble up teams and make
two wagons carry the merry crowd.
There were 72 in the aggregation
and the people along the route are
ready to testify that there was
something doing.
