proved by the judicial decision of an
honest Democratic judge, the Hon. F.
B. Hutton. We prefer to accept the
opinions of these two honorable gen.
tlemen to that of the hungry and
reckless partisans who framed the
Bristol resolutions.
The Democratic politicians of the
Ninth District who are now villifying
Republicans for striving to preserve the
citizenship of their fellow-citizens
would be doing themselves more honor
if they used their earnest endeavor to
accomplish the same worthy end. But
they prefer to adhere to the fixed Dem
ocratic purpose of DISTINGUISHING as
many white men as possible and, by
making a great reduction in the white
electorate, possibly, gain control of the
district once more.
The Democratic convention at Bristol
displayed ridiculous cowardice and rank
deception in failing to say anything
definite or clear about the tariff. This
questiyn is pronounced by Democratic
newspapers and leaders the vital one in
the present campaign. The only hint
made in the Bristol platform at this and
kindred national questions is found in
the third paragraph of the second reso-
luton. Here is what the towards and
dodgers said:
eve recognize the fact that Federal
legislation and Federal policy are con-
stantly coming in closer contact with
the every day business and commercial
life of our people, and being mindful of
the vast natural and material resources
of this Congressionional district, and of
the heroic efforts now being made for
their complete development, we call
upon good men of all political parties,
our business men and labor
ing men, to unite with US in electing a
to Congress whose abili-
ties, energies and efforts will be earn
estly directed towards advancing the
material welfare of the whole people of
the district"
Can anbody tell US what the above
vague resolution means, or whether it
was intended to mean just anything
according to the disposition of any per-
son who wishes to construe it? Does it
mean to endorse the Republican-McKin-
ley tariff policy, and the continued de-
of the vast natural mate
rial resources of this district" which
development began when the Mckinley
policy was inaugurated, and that has
so marvelously under the ad
of Mr.. Roosevelt? Or
does it mean to endorse the Democratic
free trade policy, as expressed by the
Wilson-Gorman law, now advocated by
Mr.. Bryan, and which for a well-re-
period of four years COM
pletely checked and turned back all de-,
of "the vast natural material
of this Congressional dis
trict?" Are the Democrats of the
Ninth District for tariff law that will
put iron ore, coal, lumber and wool on
the free list? If so, why didn't they
have the courage to say so in their plat
form? They have attempted to per-
petrate cowardly deception; but the
people will not be deceived, and~Mr.
Bruce will be forced to tell where he
stands.

OLD AGE PENSIONS ILLEGAL.

P. H. Coney, department COM
mander of the G.. A. r. has receiv-
ed confidential information from
Washington to the effect that the
attorney general of the United
States has given an opinion holding
Eugene Wares famous pension or
der No. 79 to be illegal. The order
was in effect equivalent to an cage
pension law" but Mr.. Ware was
bitterly attacked at the time of its
PRONUNCIATION, his opponents brand
ing it as unconstitutional and an
evasion of the law. The order rec
ognized age as a disability and pro-
vided that every veteran of the
Civil war who had reached the
age OF 62 years was entitled to a
pension of So per month. At 65
years the pension increased to 81,
at 68 to $40 and at 70 to $12.
Between 1000 and 10000 pen
sions were granted under the order
and it is probable that these pen
sioners will stay On the rolls al
though Captain Coney thinks they
may be ordered before board OF
physicians for re-examination.
When the matter was referred to
MIR. Ware in a conversation he said:
81 believe that age is a disability.
An old man is no more able to
make living than a one legged
man or one-armed man or man
with the piles. That is the basis
of the order. still think it good
sense and good law. But if the
order is knocked out suppose the
pensions granted under it will fall
also"

DR.. KINGS LECTURE FEB. 10TH.

DIR. Byron w. King notified

nounced, and asked them to set the

ed desire to have as many of their

REAL ESTATE is MOVING.

The result of Trice & Winters
efforts in advertising the Sharon
Valley is already evident. Last
week they sold the John Gronemiar
farm OF a quarter section a mile
from Sharon for $1,000 and J. D.
Spangler's farm of $50 acres two
miles east of Sharon for $4,000.
]. T. Schnelle sold his farm of
half section, also located in the
Valley, to w. T. Elliott of Califor-
mia, Mo-, for the snug sum of $4,000.
Barber county real estate is ad-
vancing rapidly in price and farm
ers are beginning to hesitate to
price their land. The Index hopes
that these sales will not result in
the county's losing these good
families.

TO ORGANIZE A FIRE COMPANY.

Several of our citizens have in
augurated movement to organize
a city fire company. 1t is a good
thing and every property owner
should help push it along. A good
organization is invaluable in times
of fire. The city has hose cart
and a considerable amount of hose
SO that the organization could be
made with little expense. One
plan suggested is to call a meeting,
elect competent man as Chief
and let him choose the members of
the company up to limited num-
Der. Heretofore those who became
members of the fire department
were exempt from poll tax and it
is a good plan, but it should not be
made a place of refuge for anyone
to dodge his poll tax and become a
tigure-head In the fire department.
Medicine Lodge has plenty of good
material for the purpose and if a
good company should be organized
1t would not be out of place for the
city to pay them for their services
in cases of fire.
The city, we understand, is favor
able to encouraging the PROPOSE
ton and we hope there will be
some tangible developments along
this line.

BOUGHT BUCKLIN BRANCH.
Santa Fe AbsOrbS Rock Island Branch
Between Dodge City and Bucklin.
Will Build Through Barber.
The Enid ok Daily Eagle of

The Enid ok Daily Eagle of
January 27th, says:
"The announcement that the
Santa Fe has purchased the Rock
Island stub line from Bucklin to
Dodge City is significant. By
building from Kiowa to Bucklin,
instead of north as was intended
by the Denver, Enid and Gulf pro-
moters, the Santa Fe will have an
air line from Enid to Dodge City,
and and a direct connection be-
tween Oklahoma points and the
mountain cities
Probably nc other incident since
the Santa Fe bought the Oklahoma
D. E. & G. line, SO strongly points
to the building of the d. K. & G.
in Barber county. The Rock Is
land branch, above referred to, is
in direct line with the survey and
part Of the grade already construct
ed in this county, and while the Of
flcials are not yet ready to give out
anything official it is conce ded by
all who know anything of the stu
alton that the road is certain.
The meeting of the D. K. g. G..
stockholders has not yet been held.
A combination of circumstances
from time to time prevented Messrs.
Peckham and Young from coming
to Medicine Lodge, but they are
daily expected. Attorney Brown
returned Monday night.
The condemnation board return
eG home from Kiowa on Tuesday
afternoon of last week. About all
the business transacted was to or
ganize by electing !. P. Hall chair
man and adjourn to February 2Ist.
1t was reported that the adjourn
ment was until the call of the
chairman. The report is erroneous.
We are informed that such action
would invalidate the board and all
subsequent proceedings. The fact
that the board is being kept alive
is strong indication that the road
from Kiowa northwest will be con-
struc ted, and the additional fact
that the Santa Fe surveying outfit
abandoned the field northwest OF
this point also is taken to mean
that it is the intention to build the
| DIX. & @. and that it will thereafter
pass into the control of the Santa
| Fe. These are straws that seem to
indicate the direction the wind is
blowing.

HIGH SCORING BIRDS.

Chas. c. Fair of Sharon exhibit,
ed sixteen of his fine White
Plymouth Rocks at the recent
poultry show at Anthony, and, as
usual, took frsts and seconds in
everything. He scored from So to
9oa, the latter being the highest
known record among poultry
fanclers. He photographed the
cockerel that scored o6a and it
certainly is beauty. In the state
of Illinois, few months ago, a
cockerel of the same breed scoring
e6aa sold for $500 and poultry
judges who have seen Mr.. Fairs
bird say it is fully up to the prize
bird in Illinois, so that it appears
that c. c. is right in the swim.
At the Denver show a few weeks
ago the cockerels and pullets which
Mr.. Fair sold to Denver parties
made a great winning. A pullct
scoring 95aa won the ivory cup
which means much to poultry fan
ciers. A cockerel took first prize
and another cockerel and pullet
were easy seconds.
1t was ten years ago that Mr..
Fair took notion to White Plv.
mouth Rocks. He went at it on a
small scale and learned a little
more about the business each year
bred up his stock, and now his poul.
try business brings him in easier
money than the large ranches O
the county yield to their owners
His stock commands all the way
from SIS per head up to $40, ex
cluding the highest scorers. Doe.
poultry breeding pay? Mr.. Fair;
record answers the question.

REFUSED $IOo.O FOR ONE FOWL.

Elsewhere is an article concern
ing c. c. Fairs winning on his
fine White Rocks at the Anthony
show. Since the article was set in
type we learn from Mr.. Fair that
Mr.. E. O. Spencer, a poultry fanci-
er Of Wichita, offered him 500
spot cash last Thursday for the
cockerel that scored o6aa. Mr..
Spencer made the trip from Wich-
ita to the Fair farm exclusively to
see the bird and was very anxious
to buy it, but Mr.. Fair refused the
offer for the good and sufficient
reason that fowl with the high
est known score tied, is worth more
money. The only danger is that
they'll keep raising the bid until
he'll just have to let go.
We think Charley has right to
step high these days.

THE "SCOTT SPECIAL" :"

The Atchis b Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway Company got great
deal of valuable advertising out of
the 'Scott Special which was run
from Los Angeles to Chicago last
July, making the phenomenal rec
ord breaking time of A hours
and 54 minutes. A nice illustrat-
ed pamphlet has recently been is
sued by the Company setting forth
a detailed account of the famous
journey, beginning with the nego-
tiations leading up to the contract
and ending when ''Scotty" and his
wife landed in the city of Chicago.
The work is illustrated by photo
graphs of the DeathValley million
aire and his wife, the nineteen
nervy engineers who pulled the
throttle over the different divisions,
and some of the various mammoth
iron monsters that propelled the
special. A dining car, baggage
car and sleeper constituted the
equipments behind the engine, all
supplied with the latest luxuries
known to the railroad world. The
train left Los Angeles at I P. M.
July 9th and pulled into Chicago
at 1884 A. M. July nth. The av-
erage time was 5o.4 miles per hour.
The fastest time made was 100. 1
miles per hour in the vicinity of
Galesburg, Illinois, and the slowest
was 34.6 miles, near the Grand
Canyon in Arizona where the speed
must necessarily be reduced on &C
count of the broken country. The
greatest speed in Kansas was at
Dodge City where it was S.. 5 miles
per hour. The special cost the
cowboy magnate $500 and he
says he got his moneys worth.
The Santa Fe is distinctively the
greatest railway system between
Chicago and the Pacific coast. 1t
permeates the productive regions oi
this vast scope of country every
where and has the equipment to
handle all forms of traffic promptly
and with dispatch. For the benefit
of those not familiar with the stu
alton, it may be said that during
the last few years enormous sums
have been expended in improving
the roadbed. Grades have been re.
duced, curves Strengthened, light
rails replaced with heavy, wooden
bridges changed to steel, and new
ballast put in place. Best of all
its birthplace is dear, Sunny Kan
sas where, though the tempestuou:
storms of drought and pestilence
sometimes blow and leave ruin anc
desolation in their wake, they are
as quickly supplanted by natures
bounteous harvest, and prosperity

up simultaneously from the very
path so recently ravished by adver
sity But the Santa Fe has grown

R.C. Burgess VS.. the A. T. & S. F.
Ry. Co. is rather interesting CIV
il action that comes from Kiowa
for trial in the district court. Bur-
CESS shipped car of stock to Kan
sas city few weeks ago and de-
manded transportation both ways
and the Railway Company refused.
He sent the stock without anyone
in charge and four of the cattle
got down and were either killed or
injured. Suit followed-$Ioo
prayed for damage and $50 for at
torney's fees. Judgment was rem
dered for the full amount in Jus.
tice Rice's court January 18th,
defendant not appearing. An appeal
was taken by the railroad company
later and the transcriptwas receiv-
ed in the office of the clerk of the
district court January 10Th. The
point raised by this suit is whether
the company is liable for damages
when it refuses the owner of car
of stock return transportation, in
cases of injured stock. The law
does not compel the company to
give transportation both ways
when less than two cars of stuff is
shipped but it is silent as to the
company's liability when damage
results by reason of such action.
