that. You say that it would be
wrong and cowardly. What about
those Republicans on that grand jury
who waited till the last day of its
term and then urged and worked for
finding the indictment against me
just on the eve of the primary you
will hurt their feelings, do not in
sist on that.
How about those men who were
sent to every voting precinct in the

airy. Were they Democrats or Rep

to tell the voters of each precinct

clusion it is not the only time l have
been duped. You remember when
you tried to dupe me into the race
for State Senator, now condemning
others for the same thing. That
word consistency comes in again.
The last clause you wrote for me
to answer is where you say that the

to vote for candidates who are in
favor of Goebelism. There may be
some part of Republicanism that 1 do

and they have failed to give satisfac-

can throw some light on the subject.
Now the question is this; Does
GOebelism apply to Republican con-
ventions and primaries2 l under
stand that it originated in the Music
Hall convention. | am unable to
say whether or not it applies to q

on the eve of the primary last April.

This Oct. IL, 1905.

On Wednesday of last week Mr..
Rufus H, Elder and Miss Myrtle
Farmer were joined in matrimony, at
the home of Mrs. j. A. Farmer, on
Walker street, Rev. j. r. McAfee
officiating. Only few relatives and
friends of the contracting parties were
present on, the occasion.
The groom is well known con-
tractor and builder of this city, and
is an energetic and industrious young
man, of unblemished reputation.
The bride is the pretty and popu-
lar daughter of Mr.. H. G. Farmer.
She is graceful in manner, affection
ate in disposition and was a prize
worth the winning.
The Press joins their many friends
in hearty congratulations.

THE RECORD
ANSWERED
In Words of No Uncertain
Sound! .a.
JUDGE TOWERY
COVERS THE CASE

As to the facts in the case con-
cerning the signing of the land GER
tifcate by me you say came from
Democrats. Let us see who knows
about the certificate. At Mr.. Hen
derson's own request | wrote up the
certificate and waited for the county
surveyor to call in and sign same,
which he stated on crOss-examination
that he authorized me to do and rat
flied same after it was done. Then
when the suit was brought against
Henderson and Guess it is a matter
of fact that they sent to the Auditor
for a copy of the record and he be-
ing Democrat that part of their ar
gument is true. Suppose that that
officer had been a Republican would
he not have done the same thing as
an officerP Tell me how you would
have made this argument if the Aud
itor had been Republican.
Now, the grand jury is the next
thing. First you said that it was
Democratic, now you say that Demo
Gratis were in control, but you hav,
never told your readers how YOU
Republican members voted in thai
grand jury room. Probably you have
overlooked that. Now if these Rep
ublican members had voted agsins
the finding of that indictment coulC
We not have peeled the Democrats
But how about Republicans voting
for it. Don't tell that boys, yor
might hear something drop.
Now, as to Mr.. James not prevent
ing that indictment being found, h,
will inform you as lawyer on thi'
point. Did you know Mr.. Hender
son also informed me that an effor
was being made in that grand jur,
to indict me. With the same pro
priety you might ask me why he die
not prevent it. Do you not Sc,
that your argument is One-sidedp
You ask me to- name tn,
man who had me indicted. VIII,
is it that you want me to do thinl
that you will not do yourself. Wher
the question was put to you to nam'
the members of the law firms whom
you said had me Indicted you faile,
to answer. The answer over my sig
nature in last weeks paper is sufic
lient. You say for me not to wal

It's up in old Kentucky
Where they never have the blues;
Where the Captain kills the Colonel
And the Colonel kills the booze"
Where the horses they are pretty,
And the women they ane-too.
Where they shoot men for pastime.
Where there's nothing else TO do.
Where the blood It flows like water
And the bullets fly like hail;
Where every pistol has a pocket
And every coat has a tail.
Where they always hang the jury.
But they never hang the men.
Where you call man liar;
And then get home II YOU can.
There you go out In the morning,
Just to give your health a chance.
And they bring you homo at night

And the birds don't dare 20 sing.

We have only one paper printed in
our town viz: "HoisingtOn Dispatch
II is strong demOcrtic paper in a
republican town. Our city election is
near at hand and to see our fair ladies
surrounding the polls TO vote. would
be sufficient to daze an old Kentucky
farmer. They are voters in municipal
and school elections, and over in Col
orado they vote on all questions that
come before the people. Our town
has a population Of about 1000 and is
purely railroad town yet every
thing IS coming to the front. This
is the division between the Central
and Mountain time. We have the
Roundhouse, shops. repair-shops and
the principal workshops between Sc
dalia, No. and Pueblo. Colorado We
have one Of the incest Railroad Y.
NJ c. A. buildings in the West Also.
four nice churches and a fine school
building including the 10th grade and
high school. We have two banks that
do an enormous business and one priv
ate depository. We have two excel
lent drug stores, three barbor-shops,
three meat markets. two hardware
stores. one shoe store. two general
stores. one bakery. two harness shops
three blacksmith shops. three Ele-
yators. one FIGURING mill. four rest

D. Routes, one tailor eight daily mails
and abuot five points with the iinest
farming country and the richest lands
on the earth. Now this is only apart
Of our industries and facilities. and
you can see that we need good
live dentist and a lawyer to make up
the quota of professional men. We
have at least dozen different orders
1, from the Masonic down to the Eagles.
We have a fine climat as ever saw
and the production of corn and wheat
in this country is wonderful
Our county, CBarton,) produced in
1904 over five million bushels OF wheat
and plenty of corn. Farmers SOW
from 200 10 500 acres of wheat land
and some raise as much as $4,000
Real estate is increasing rapidly in
value and our town property is high
in price where are plenty Of valuable
land in the western part of state that
can be home steaded. but is is all
being take up by people of eastern
Kansas.
Everything is high in price except
livery hire and Wind.
Hope this will find space. II so
will write again more explicitly.
