ROAD OyERSEERS APPOINTED.

The Medicine Lodge township
board met on Tuesday of last week
as required by a new law passed by
the legislature last winter, and di-
vided the township into four dis
tricts and appointed a road over
seer for each district. Heretofore
the township was divided into five
districts and a road overseer elect
ed in each of them. The new law
provides that a township shall not
have to exceed four road overseers
and that the township board shall
appoint road overseer in each
district. The following are the ap-
pointees Of this township:
No. I-Wm. Morris.
No. 2-J. ]. Chadwick.
No. &C. M. Porter.
No. "A. c. Lauby.
These are the same men elected
last fall excepting in the first dis
trict. Joseph Wiley was elected
but the board appointed Will Nor
ris to succeed him. AS the board
is entirely republican and Mr.. Wi
ley is also republican, the change
cannot be for political reasons.

STATISTICAL.
Official Figures Concerning Barber
Ceunty's Population and
Resources.

The township trustees of the
county have all made their returns
to the County Clerk and the abb
stracts of population and statistical
roll of the county are complete for
the year beginning March I, 1905,
excepting so far as relates to the
city of Medicine Lodge. Trustee
Miller is revising his report with
respect to the population of this
city. His last report puts the pop
ulation at $50 but after he goes
over the ground more thoroughly
it will probably be increased to ov-
er 1000.
The following is statement of
the population of the different
townships and cities in the county
for the years beginning March I,
1905 and March I, 1904. 1t will
be noticed that there is gain OF
only S people during the year,
while there is gain of 500, $50 in
personal property values. If the
trustees have made correct enum-
erations, there is a loss of popula-
tion in eleven townships and a
gain in seven.
The cities of Medicine Lodge,
Kiowa, Hazelton and Sharon all
gained, according to the official
figures. 1t is not good form to
doubt the accuracy of these figures,
but there are those who are a bit
skeptical. All indications have
been that there is a considerable
increase over last year, but the fol-
lowing is official and we will have
to be governed by it:

AN EASY VICTORY.

Medicine Lodge and Nashville
competed for honors on the base
ball diamond here last Thursday
afternoon and the home team won
it SO easily that interest in the
game was lost after the first few
innings. Nashville made only two
hits-two 2-baggers and one sim
gle. She did not get base on
balls and stole only one. Medicine
Lodge found the skin" sixteen
times-two 3-baggers, eight 2-bag-
gers and six singles. She got one
base on balls and stole three.
McGee of Ingersoll pitched for
Medicine Lodge. He was the only
imported player. Fred Buck
caught. Nashville tried two diff

Ormiston caught but in spite of it
all they couldn't keep the Medicine

The New General Anaes-
thetic.
IT'S PRINCIPAL USE
Is for the Painless Extraction Of Teeth,
The Quickest, Simplest and one Of
the Safest Of all Anesthetics.

oomnoforme is the invention of
DR.. u. ROLAND, late house surgeon
to the Paris Hospitals, professor of
Anaethetics, and Dean of the Den.
tai School and Hospital of Bor-
deaux, France.
Having with the assistance of a
few medical men and of some we'll
known dental surgeons instituted
and opened the Bordeaux Dental
School in 1895, DR.. ROLAND took
upon himself the teaching of the
theory of anaethesia, but soon
found himself obliged to include in
his lessons its practical applica-
ton. The problem he then had to
face was the production of a rapid
anaesthesia, easily brought about,
and presenting no danger, followed
by quick return to consciousness,
and having no ulterior and trouble
some sensations.
DR.. Rolland's task was not an
easy one, and he shortly realized
that the problem could not be solv-
ed without considerable toll and
effcrt. After over four years of
long and tedious research, conduct
ed along lines of the highest scien-
tif1c knowledge, DR.. ROLAND
achieved a signal success.
At the time when DR.. ROLAND
began his research, he had in mind
to devote his time and energy, sim
ply for the benefit of the school
which he had opened in Bordeaux.
What he did not then realize was
that the result of his work would
have such far reaching influence.
DR.. ROLAND began the admins
tration of Somnoforme in the Bor-
deaux Dental School in May, 1902
and since then it has been admins
tered under his personal and official
control more than $4,000 times
without a fatal case.
Somnoforme is not an expert
ment. While it is comparatively
new in the Uuited States, yet in
Europe it has been in use for over
four years. In spite of English
conservatism more Somnoforme is
being used in Great Britain than
in any other country, the record
being over 100000 administra-
tlons during the last two years.
Besides dentistry, it is being used
considerably in obstetrics, general
surgery, ophthalmic practice, etc.
Somnoforme is used by the fol-
lowing widely known hospitals in
England:

Children-Glasgow.
Guys Hospital-London.

critically i'll the past week and at

doubts of its recovery are entertain
ed by DR.. Coleman, the attending
physician. All hope for the best.
The candid opinion of this moral
guide is that our township trustees
did not only fail to enumerate all
the people in the county, but they
also failed to jot down the correct
number of dogs. It has not been
SO very long ago since it seemed to
US that there were $40 dogs in Med

Under Mr.. Van Horne's management
the vast enterprise, with new methods
and wide awake Chicago push, was
given a new impetus and the 5000
miles of main line were finished to the
Pacific coast in four years.
Some forty years ago A. j. Earling
entered the employ of the Chicago,
Milwaukee Ss st. Paul railroad as
messenger boy. He soon attracted at
tention by his earnest efforts to learn
telegraphy. He not only mastered the
Morse alphabet in a few days, but he
was soon able to catch the drift of
messages going over the wires by
sound, and the agent was glad to give
him chance to learn the business well
enough to relieve him of growing ac-
emulation of messages. The vast
traffic growing out of the Civil war
overworked everyone, and the operator
was delighted to find young Earring
thoroughly efficient, trustworthy and
At eighteen he was put on the pay
roll of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, of which he is now presi-
dent, and he is said to know more
about it than any other president
road. After six years experience as
local operator he was made train dis
patcher, then division superintendent,
and so on up until he became vice pres
ident and finally president of the Mil
waukee G. ST. Paul system, where he
first began as a messenger boy.
This story is told of his disinterest-
ed devotion to railroading. He in
vented the Manuel block system and
declined to take out a patent. Know
ing that it would be of great value in
safeguarding trains and that a patent
would interfere with its general adop-
tion he sacrificed his private inter-
ests in giving the railroads of the
country free use of his invention.
Every one has heard of Marvin
Hughitt, president of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad The system
comprises 1000 miles of track and 10000
men run it, all under one management.
The story of Mr.. Hughitt's career be-
gins when he ran barefoot among the
brambles on his grandfather's farm
near Genoa. NJ Y, rising at o'clock
every morning. AT the age of IA, with
less of book learning than was the for
tune of most boys even of his day, he
deserted the farm. went to Auburn, N.
Y, learned the new Morse telegraph |
code and while playing messenger boy
became an expert receiver by sound"
in year. Then he went west, clicked
a key in way stations at II, made him
self locally famous as dispatcher Of
troops at the beginning Of the war,
kept his eyes open, learned every little
secret of the railroad business and
mounted upward step by step until the
boyish Genoa genius became the great
railway executant, adviser of the Van
derbilts and personal friend of presi-
dents

age of Is he began the second stage of
his railroad career by cording wood and
"fuelling" engines for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul. On his days off
he learned telegraphy and became night
operator at small stations in Wiscon-
sin. He always did things a little bet
ter than he had to, worked more hours
than his job called for and was as
alert as a hawk The boy grew into
the same kind of a man, and when q
strike tied up the Burlington railroad
he used the knowledge he had accumu-
lated as a boy, called a number Of
green clerks to his aid and ran the
first train out Of Burlington himself at
the throttle. The courage, loyalty and
resourcefulness that helped him In that
incident have been the traits that lift
