PROUD OF HIS FRIENDS.

Col. O. S. Boggs requests the In
dex to express for him hearty
thanks to the good people of Medi-
cine Lodge who assisted in build
ing and procuring his new and
comfortable home. When Col.
Boggs returned to this city after
trying Colorado, Wichita and
Leavenworth awhile, he said he de-
sired to remain right here among
his friends, that no country was
better than this and no people quite
as good as his old friends in Medi-
cine Lodge, and since being pre-
sented with his new home his .ap.
probation of them is even greater,
if possible, than before. He says il
is the best living place he ever had
and he would not exchange it for
a royal palace for living purposes

THE DEATH ANGEL.

Florence Elizabeth Skinner, baby
girl of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Skinner
who reside a short distance west of
this city, died on Friday morning,
March 80, 1906, aftes long illness.
The child was four months and
thirteen days of'age.
The remains were taken to Kio-
wa, the former home of the paren is,
and funeral services were held on
Saturday, conducted by Rev. C. A.
Kitch, pastor of the M. E. church of
that city, and interment was in
the cemetery at that place.
The friends of the bereaved par
ents, both here and at Kiowa, unite
in extending profound sympathy.

HE WANTED TO DIE.

Jacob Beggert took a dose of
strychnine diluted in whiskey last
Thursday and but for his own re-
pentence would have died. He
was assisting Mrs. Beggert weav-
ing carpets and was apparently in
good spirits. He went out to the
stable shortly before noon where he
took the poison and returned in a
few minuteS~and resumed work.
Soon he threw up his arms and
screamed, his muscles contracted
and expanded alternately and he
ran into an adjoining room and
laid down on the sofa. Mrs. Beg
gert followed him and inquired in
to his trouble and he told what he
had done and asked for cup of
hot milk. She prepared some for
him and he drank three cups. Mrs.
Beggert then telephoned for DR..
Moore and when the Doctor arriv-
ed he administered medicine that
produced vomiting and the patient
was out of danger in the course oi
a few hours. DR.. Moore says that
the milk in the stomach is what
saved his life. Had nothing been
done it would have been too late
after the Doctors arrival.
No cause is assigned for Mr..
Beggert's rash act except despond-
ency. The patient told DR.. Moore
that he had made up his mind tc
end his life two years ago and that
it had been working on him ever
since. Yet when the time came fol
the fulhllment of his desire hi:
courage failed and he was glad te
receive help. He was sick severa
days after but is again as well as
usual. 1t is believed by those who
know him best that his MUD i:

CT. BEND & GULF TO BUILD
Strong Indications that Medicine Lodge
Will Have Another North and South
Road Within a Year.

The Great Bend and Gulf Rail
way company, at meeting of its
beard of directors held at Great

mediately construct the following
lines:
First-Branch from the city OF

Kansas, to a connection with the

line from point at or near the
city of Pratt, in Pratt county, Kan
sas, in southeasterly direction to
the city of Arkansas City. Cowley
county, Kansas.
!, Active work will commence on
these lines at once.
The Great Bend and Gulf is the
line of railroad bought by the St.
Louis syndicate headed by Breck-
inridge Jones and Ed L. Peckha m
a few months ago. 1t is the road
for which Elm Mills and Medicine
Lodge townships voted $4,000
aid in September.
The action of the board of di-
rectors at Great Bend on Friday in :
dicates that it is the company's
purpose to build from Great Bend
to this city, connect with the pres
ent east and west branch and build
southeast to connecting line to Ar
kansas City.
Mr.. Peckham and Judge Bierer
returned from Great Bend Saturday
night, stopping here the first of the

FOR COUNTY CLERK.

S. w. Ireland last week invested
a SIS William in an announcement
of his candidacy for county clerk,
in the Medicine Lodge Cresset. If
a republican must have it, we
would just as lief see Steve land it
as any one but we hope to see that
office occupied by one who is right
politically, once again. There are
two and probably three other re-
bablicans who aspire to the same

A BROTHERS TRIBUTE.

For years | have urged my broth
er, Frank Dixon, to enter the Ly.
eeEnf field Iiis lecture on "The
Man Against the Mas" is OF, mar
velous power. Against the spirit
embodied in our national institu-
tions are leagued the forces of
economic reaction which threaten
to change the character of our gov
erment, unsettle the home, tradi-
tion, and test the moral fibre of that
Anglo-Saxon Individualism which
has made America a colossal pow
er. This is the burning question
of the century. He has made it a
life study, and that with the warm
est sympathy for those who toll.
He IS now in the maturity of a
splendid intellect; he has lived,
struggled, suffered with the people;
he has burning message, and he
knows how to deliver it. His
truths are vivid as lightning flashes.
He is eloquent, magnetic, thought
full, and holds his audience from
start to finish.

"SOMETIrlE."

Sometime when all life's lessons have been
learned.
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here has
spurned,
The things DER which we greved with lash
es wet
Will flash before us out of life's dark night
AS stars shine most in deeper tints of blue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans are right
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh
Gods plan goes on as best for you and me;
How. when called He needed not our cry
Because His wisdom to the end could see
So. even as wise parents disallow.
Too much of sweets to craving babyhood,
So God. perhaps is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it seemeth
good.
And if sometimes commingled with life's wine
We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink.
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
And If someone you love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh. do not blame the loving Father so.
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly see that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of death,
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
II We could push aside the gates of life
And stand within. and all Gods workings
see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And foS-each mystery could find key
But not to-day; then be content sad heart,
Gods plans. like lilies. pure and white un-
fold,
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal tho calyxes of gold.
And if through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may
rest,
When we shall clearly see and understand,
think that we shall say. God knows the
best" May Riley Smith.

His themes are vital. He stands
at the storm center of progressive
thought, and speaks with author
ity. Every man and woman who
hears him understands him. He
has a personality that is the essence
of eloquence. He is so simple, so
direct, so captivating in his style,
his audience grasps in a moment
the results of years of careful toll.
He is bundle of nerves and tex
citable gray NATTER" and opens

message the world must hear. Not
a sentence that is dull, not mo-
