RISKS LIFE ANDLIMB, DOES FAMOUS
TROUPE OF AERIALISTS.

Risking life and limb daily in the
Campbell Bros. circus is the lot that be-
falls the famous troupe Of Flying lie
Vans" aerialists that will be seen here on
Monday, Sept. 9TH, the date of the big
show in Medicine Lodge. The act is a
thrilling one and to the audience seems
an impossibihty for the human mind to
conceive or the hand or body to do. Its
perfection is the result of training and
hard work for both brain and Drawn, and
has its foundation in physical culture that
this THO Of artists applied themselves to in
their native home across the sea as a
means Of regaining their health which In
the pursuits they were following before
they decided to enter the circus arena
was failing. The thoughts Of such an
act came to them during their daily drills
and was successfully done by them.
Campbell Brothers heard Of it and their
wonderful performance and secured them
to make their first annual tour Of Ameri-
ca with their shows.

John Fraich became little excited
last Thursday and procured a revolver
and was carrying it around on the streets.
w. c. Millar persuaded him to go up
stairs with him, In the bank building, and
tried to get him to put the gun away.
Marshal Stockstll was told Of the affair
and went up stairs to disarm Fralch. He
resisted and IN the scufle both fell to the
foot Of the stairs. The marshal fell first
and was not hurt but MIR. FraEch's head
was cut and his shoulder blade broken.
He was carried to Dr. Updegaf's Office
and did not regain consciousness for sew
eral hours. Later he was removed to the
Grand hotel where he is now receiving
the best Of care but his recovery is not
regarded certain.
Mr.. Fralich has had great deal Of
trouble recently and is easily irritated.
The marshal did his duty in disarmins
hun but no one regrets more than does
that official that it resulted so seriously.
All hope for Mr.. Fralich's recovery.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

Medicine Lodge has been exposed to
the anonymous letter plague. The hori-
bic crime of attempting to destroy Mrs.
c. B. kmkaids eyes and facial features
by carboGc acid, recounted in last weeks
papers. was preceded by letters thrown
into the yard warning her that she would
be killed. Others received similar letters
before and after the crime was committed.
The authorizes are using every effort
to bring the guilty party or parties to jus
but so far have failed to get clue suf-
hcient to justify an arrest. Our citizens
are intensely aroused and everybody is
doing everything possible to bring the
disturbance to focus. Human life seems
to be endangered while present condi-
lions exist.

TWO GREAT BALL GAMES.

The base ball games played IN tins
city last Thursday forenoon and afternoon
by the Boston Bloomer Girls and the
Kiowa team were superb. People who
are In the habit of attending League
games were here and they pronounce
Thursdays games equal to those played
IN the League.
The Girls won the game IN the fore
noon and the boys won IN the afternoon.
In each game the score was held down
to the remarkably low figures Of 2 to l..
1t is seldom that game IS played IN this
part Of the country IN which the score
does not run up to at least 8 on side.
The batteries were pretty well match
ed but Harry Newknk who twnled when
kiowa was successful easily won the dis
tinction Of doing the cleverest work.

Probably no man who came to the
Homecoming last week was more loyal
ly greeted than Hon. Vim. Garrison,
now Of Pond Greek, Oklahoma. Col.
Garrison represented the county IN the
legislature during a crisis and he came
out with clean and spodess record, con-
ceded even by his political enemies. which
is saying much considering the intense
political feeling at that time. He was al
so the founder Of the City of Sharon and
named the now famous Sharon Valley,
both Of which were suggested to him by
reason Of his study Of biblical history IN
his younger days. Col. Garrison seems
as strong as he was when he left Barber
at the opening of the Snip and has the
promise OF many more years Of usefulness
ahead Of him and all Of his old friends
were grah6ed to see him looking so well.
During both Of the days he was here he
had strenuous handshakng hme Of it.

AS whole, ,ike ticket is one of the
weakest ever placed before the voters
of Barber county and if elected it asill
be on accsalnt of lthe republican majenty
chat exists m the county rather tflan be-
cause it merits election. The ticket COZ
tsins several very good men but it i
not misrepresenting the facts when we
say that even 4he majority of the dele
gates who nominated the ticket are
heartily ashamed of some of the csndi-
dates. 1t now remains for the demo
cratc party to nominate better men and
thus give the voters an opportunity to get
out Of the predicament in which the re-
publican party is endeavasing to place
them.

Oscar Haberlein, the indomitable edi-
tor Of the kiowa News-Review, got in
Saturday In time to see the republican
convention adjourn. AS usual, Oscar
was barred from the kiowa delegation
and his most despised enemy headed it.
He had little aftermath IN the district
clerks Office and told the brethren Just
what is gong to happen. To the Index
he said, just tell them that the repubI-
can leaders Of Barber county have by
their own action ensured the election Of
the democratic candidates for representa-
tive and sheriff"

reached the goal for which he has been
running since the beginning Of the present
century. Tom sauntered forth and made
his maiden speech, promising obedi-
ence to the mandates of the party and
expressing gratitude to the convention.
Hugh Rankin fixed himself for future
fayors by promising to tear his shirt, if
necessary, to elect Tom and to be re-
publican until Gabriel sounds the gong.
DIR. Van Ness closed the incident by as
sluing the convention that heis still re-

Man Is Master of the Land.

There are no soil conditions that cannot be overcome by man if those conditions are such that they inter- fere with the growing of crops. What seems impossible now will be possible later, when the value of land has risen to the point where great operations will pay. The sandy, leachy soils can be covered with a layer of clay and the heavy lands can be sanded The swamp land can be drained and the arid lands watered The time will come when man will put into use every foot of land not closed up by the eternal ice around the poles. Even in the far north, glass gardens will yet become numerous and beat back the frost line.

THE GOOD ROADS BILL.
Has the Sanction of the President, and Sentiment Is Growing
 in It's Favor.

Three years ago the president of the United States gave his indorsement to national aid in highway improve ment, and declared in q public speech that it was help the people have right to demand of the general gov ernment. That was in 1903 Since then the patriotism, intelligence, progress i've spirit and business sense of the country has quickened in response, and from one end of the land to the other the good roads campfres have been lighted on hillside and in valley The actual loss and inconvenience to the country through the lack of decent means of communication between town and country, town and town in the interior, between the homes of the people and the markets, between the homes and church houses and school houses, is so immense that it cannot longer be borne, and the people are becoming aroused as they have not been on any subject since the close of the civil war. Every thinking per son realizes that governmental aid and supervision in road construction is an absolute national necessity. Every thinking person knows that state sys- tems will continue to fall short of adequate remedy for the great trouble of bad roads, as state systems have failed for 75 years past except in two or three of the wealthier states Some good road work has been done in d few states, notably in New York, a state of great cities, where the city property is taxed with other property, and money is abundant for the pur- pose. But there are few states able to do what New York can do for high ways, and nearly all of the 45 states of the union realize their helplessness in this respect. It does seem as if there should be no hesitation about the enactment of the Brownlow-Lati- mer good roads bill It provides for only reasonable assistance in getting the work under way, and certainly if the government can spend money for road building in Porto Rico and the Philippines, as it has been liberally doing, the representatives of the peo- pie ought not to deny relief to the states at home. The plan proposed is neither eXtraYagant nor burdensome. It is plain, practical business propo- sition which appeals strongly for hear ing i'll the Fifty-ninth congress, and the demand for this legislation is growing stronger all the time It has. too, the sanction of eminent officials of the government, and if the people con- tinue their demand on congress the Brownlow-Latimer bill will soon be- come d law
 Hon. W. P. Brownlow will send copies of the bill and other official lit erature to any person addressing a re- quest to him at Washington.

Alfalfa Pointers.

Alfalfa is deep rooted plant, hence requires soils in which the subsoil is of such a nature that the roots can readily penetrate it. It must be well drained to a depth of at least two feet or the alfalfa will not prosper
 Any field likely to be under water for more than 36 hours at a time is quite unsuitable for alfalfa. The same is true of a field with hardpan subsoil within two feet of the surface.
 To get a stand of alfalfa SOW suffi. cient good seed which you know will germinate. Have the land we'll pre- pared and in a good state of fertil. ity, and be sure that the land is well drained.

Treat Oats for Smut

One of the most surprising facts connected with farm experience in the United States to-day is the little at tention farmers are paying to oat smut, which is rapidly increasing in many localities and is greatly reduc- ing the oat crop. The wonder is great CT because oat smut can be quite large ly prevented by treating the seed oats to a bath of formaldehyde. This material costs but 50 cents d pound, says the Farmers Review, and that is enough for 50 gallons of water This makes a solution in which the oats may be dipped and which will destroy most of the smut spores. All farmers that grow oats should take steps at once to prevent the further spread of this fungus

Buy seed corn on the ear, when it can be obtained in that way.
 See that the seed corn is all germ inable.
 While the mows are full of hay, it is a good time to fix the pulleys in the roof of the barn for using the horse fork next year. Not so much danger of falling and getting injured
