A DANGEROUS HABIT
Gladstone's Physician Gives Warning
Against a Growing American
CustOm.

The growing habit amongst Amer
leans Of taking a mint tablet or some
other so called digestive after eating
a hearty meal, is something that Sir
Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's
physician advises strongly against,
saying. ut is absolutely dangerous
to take into the stomach remedies
which are popularity supposed to aid
in the digestion OF food"
There Is nothing known to the
science of medicine that can per-
form the work OF the human stom-
ach Drugs do not and cannot digest
the food. They simply deeompose
IL. What con be more revolving or
disgusting than the thought OF TAX
ing something into the stomach that
is going TO turn the good food you
have eaten into mass OF corruption.
The only way 10 overcome indiges-
ton and It's evil effects is TO remove
all irritation, congestion and infiam- !
nation from the stomach, liver and
intestines, and Ml-o-na Is the only |
agent known that will do this.

THE HUMBLE OIL PiELD.

Editor Eagle, Bryan, Tex.
Here comes a letter from a Bryan

a place which was wilderness six
months ago, and which to-day has
more than 5000 population; a place
that has risen from obscurity to

BARBER COUNTY TELEPHONE co.

A charter was granted by the
Secretary of State last week to the
Barber County Telephone Com
pany, a corporation among citizens
OF eastern Barber county, to operate
a rural telephone system. The
officers are: L. M. Clark, Hazel
ton, president; F. Gamble, Haz-
elton, vice president; c. F. Ware,
Crisfeld, secretary; ]. M. Demint,
Hazelton, treasurer.
c. F. Ware, secretary of the
Company, was in the city last
Thursday on business connected
with the work of extending the
lines. The poles are being p ut in
between Hazelton and Sharon now
and it is the intention to eventual
ly extend the lines to Medicine
Lodge and Anthony where the
company has assurance of long dis
tance connection over independent
lines both east and west.
The capital stock of the company
starts business at $4,000, with
shares of $25 each. The individ-
ual members of the corporation
figure that if the venture does not
do more than pay expenses, they
will be getting good phone service
at a very reasonable cost. Their
switch boards will be at Hazelton
and Sharon and they will employ a
"hello girl" at each place.

A MONSTER BIRD.

Jack Chadwick shot a monster
Pelican on the river on his farm
north of the city on Monday. He
brought the bird to town and had
an informal show for few hours.
1t measured about E feet from tip to
tip and wasn't very long in the legs
either but it was long on bill. The
peculiar feature of Jacks luck was
that he shot the ''critter" without
hurting it very much. The only
trace of the effect of the shot was a
hole in the neck and another in
the bill. The shock seemed to stun
1T long enough to catch it.

They were on their way from Neo-
desha, Kansas, to Carlsbad, New
Mexico, where the family will re-
side. The bus did not meet the
train that night and GRANDMOTHER
Jacoby waited at the depot until a
carriage was brought. When she
was about to be escorted to the

GARNER VS.. FULLERTON BROS.

A law suit of more than ordinary
interest was tried in ustice Col
lins' court in this city last Wednes-
day. ]. r. and Arthur Garner of
Hazelton, brought suit against E.
B. and Sheriff. Fullerton for
$1o9.4I, grocery bill, goods sold to
Jack Landreth, the defendants
cousin who operated an old broken
down threshing outfit. The claim
was made by the plaintiffs that
the Fullerton Bros, were Ian
dreth's partners in the business and
as such were liable for his obliga-
tlonS. They were endorsers on
Landreth's note for the pure hase
price Of the machine and had it to
pay-something over $500, but
they disclaim any partnership in
the business. Judge Collins had
the case under advisement from
Wednesday evening until Thurs
day afternoon when he gave the
plaintiffs judgment. The defend
ants appealed to the district court.
They say it is pretty tough after
being stuck for the old ma chine, to
pay the running expenses of the
outfit too, when they had no voice
in CO ntracting them.
Noble and Tincher represent the
plaintiffs and Seward l. Field, the
defendants.
The costs in the case are close to
500 already. By the time the
district court disposes of it, the dose
will probably be doubled. This
thing of securing a friend on a note
is very dangerous.

Gone to Her Rest.
JOSIE L. BEvANs.


In the calmness and stiffness of
night at $50 o'clock, Thursday,
May 4th, 1905, Mrs. Josie L. Bevans
was taken by the power of the
Death Angels call to answer the
summons of her God.
Her funeral was preached at the
Julian schoolhouse by Rev. Kitch
OF klowa whose remarks were very
impressive and appropriate; and
her body was laid to rest in Liber-
ty cemetery on the following day.
She was 60 years of age and
leaves husband, Sherman L. Bev-
ans, to whom she was married
Sept. 2oth, 1897, and small son
OF SIX years, to mourn her death.
No child Of his age ever plead
more earnestly for something to be
done for her relief or wept more
bitterly over departing mother
than little Charlie. He seemed to
realize the sadness of home Without
a mother. Also her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. For
shee, several brothers and sisters,
her father and mother in law, Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. ,Bevans, other rela-
tives, and large circle of friends
are saddened by her early death
and very heartily sympathize with
the broken family.
s. Mrs. Bevans was an earnest
christian woman, member of the
Christian church, a thoughtful and
obliging neighbor, true and faith
lul wife, kind and loving mother:
she possessed all the characteristics
that constitute pure and noble
womanhood. She was taken away
in the very strength of life and, to
us, it might seem too bad or even
almost unnatural, but it should
not. If we were to go into the
fields and flower gardens to gather
boquets to decorate and adorn our
household, we would not take all
thorns and branches from dry and
withered trees, but we would
pluck some roses and flowers of
choicest quality, so God in select
ing the decorations of his house
hold would choose some of beauty
and strength. He would pluck
some roses. 1t helps to form the
attractions of Heaven.
Another home is broken. another heart is
stillsd,
Another chair is vacant that never can be
filed,
The cares Of life are over. she is resting now
at home.
And silently il waiting that loved ones on
earth, may come.
A FRIEND.

Attorney General Coleman rem
dered an opinion. last week, upon
request of County Attorney Griffin,
affecting the validity of the two
special acts passed by the legisla-
ture disorganizing a number, of
school districts in Barber county
and changing boundary lines in 9TH
ers. The following from the To-
peka Herald explains the situation:
can opinion given County At
torney Griffin of Barber county
yesterday by Attorney General
Coleman renders nugatory all spec
ial acts passed by the Legislature
dlsorganizing or consolidating
school districts. Mr.. Coleman
holds that special acts of this char
acter spend their force as soon as
they are in effect as the county su-
perintendent may at once proceed
under the general law to reorgan-
ize the district affected by the spec
lal law or change its boundaries
back as they were before the act of
the Legislature"
The effect of the attorney gener-
ais opinion will be to empower
the county superintendent to re-es-
tablish the old districts the ones
abolished by the special laws if
there IS sufficient school popula-
tion. The matter, of course, is en-
tirely under his control. He may,
upon petition signed by a sufficient
number of houSeholders of districts
asking reinstatement, establish
the districts or he may refuse The
opinion indicates discretionary
powers.
County Superintendent Lake has
the matter under advisement. He
has not yet reached a decision in
the matter, but is free to say that
some of the dis-organizEd districts
can not be recognized because
they have not sufficient school pop
ulation to constitute a district.
The district which has the great
est grievance is district No. II,
known as the Wiley district, lying
Immediately south of this city.
The patrons there are a unit in de-
manding the retention of their dis
trict and the county superintendent
is inclined toward granting their
request, although it is his judgment
that in view of the fact that the
law provides that children in disor-
ganized districts shall be transport
ed to and from school in the dis
tricts to which they are attached,
free, it would be letter for them to
have the advantage Of the Medicine
Lodge schools. The Index would
like to see the County Superintend-
ent act in accordance with the de-
sires of the majority of the people
affected. If the people themselves
err they will then have no cause to
complain.

HELD FOR TRIAL.

The Lake City boys who bur-
glarized G. G. Shigley's store
April 23rd-Norman Purdy, Or
vile Eager, Fred Durfee and Ray
Wesley-were held for trial in the
district court which convened this
week. They concluded to waive
preliminary and Purdy and Durfee
gave bond for their appearance
and the other two were committed
to Jail. The effort to reduce the
charge has so far failed to materi-
alize but work in that direction is
still being studiously pursued.
The young men are in some dan
ger of being indicted by the federal
grand jury. The store they bur-
glarized is the building in which
the postoffice is located and Uncle
Sam has been known to take a
hand in such cases. We hope the
boys will get out of the trouble
with as little punishment as posi-
BILE and that the lesson learned will
be life asset to them.
