The Hutchinson News In write up Of
the Dodge City reunion for Fairbanks
day says Of a part of the program: "a
feature Of yesterday afternoons pro-
gram that appealed to Mr.. Fairbanks
and which he alluded to in compliment
tary terms in his speech was the singing
Of the song, "Indiana," by Mrs. H. F.
Millikan. Mrs. Millikan has splendid
voice and the song made a hit with the
crowd. The Dodge City chorus added
greatly to the program, also, along with
the Anthony band. Many of the people
In attendance are afforded an oppor-
tunity to hear so much good music and
oratory only once year, and they GER
tainly enjoyed a treat this year. 1t is
this that helps to make these reunions
so successful, the genuine appreciation
Of the hundreds who attend them"

CONVENTION SATURDAY.

Democrats will hold their County Con-
vention next Saturday.
The Democrats of Ford county will
hold convention in Dodge City on next
Saturday to nominate ticket orr part Of
a ticket as they may decide upon at that
time. The Ford county Democratic con.
vsntion is one Of the most pesuliar on re-.
cord. Up to the present time no candl-
dates have announced. The ones most
talked Of cay they do not want to make
the race, because at the best II Is handi-
cap race aud up hill all the way. The
part Of a ticket planned by the town
Democrats Is: Geo. N. Hoover for repre-
sentative; H. B. Bell for sheriff; J. M.
Kirkpatrick for County attorney; and
Harry Hubbard for treasurer.
Mr. Hoover has thus far refused to ac-
cept the nomination, giving 40 his reasons
that he does not want the office and the
further fact that he will be away from
town most of the time during the cam
paign. Mr.. Bells close friends claim that
be does not want the domination, and
say that II lie doubtful whether he would
accept 1t should the convention nominate
him. The attitude Of the others has not
been learned. Mr.. Jones from the
country districts, MIR. Glen Lawrence and
Mr.. 4. e. French are also mentioned by
their friends as material for the nomina-
ton for sheriff.
The big Republican majority In Ford
County is naturally Encouraging to Dem.
ocratic candidates. To entes the camp
aign means a hard fight and the almost
certain result Of dsfeas SO that candidates
are not plentiful. Some Of the men who
are strongest In the county have business
interests they do not care to neglect, and
besides would not want the Offices, even
If there was show.to get them.
At this time, while only two days be-
fore the convention, no one Is able to
give forecast OF what will DO done on
Saturday.

FLOODS TOOK HOUSE.
thursdays Storm was a Terror Across

thursdays Storm was a Terror Across
the Line In Hodgeman County.
On last Thursday night during the
storm there was q cloud burst at a point
over the line 10 Hodgeman county which
swept the home Of W. R. Rodgers away,
carried his granary, sheds aud stacks Of
feed down the draw, and came near cost
ing him his life. MI. Rodgers is man
Of about s5 years, and has been living
alone upon his farm. He was In the
house when the food came, and when
the house, which is small three room
structure began to move, he found that
the door could not be opened. He went
with the house for some distance down
The draw, and finally one corner Of the
building struck against rock which
shifted,the frame sufficiently 90 that the
door could be opened. Mr.. Rodgers left
the house through water more than waist
deep. He attempted to take some of his
more valuable things with him. As he
started from the house be fell and drop.
ped a pocket book, which was among the
things he carried. The pocket book was
lost and with 1t $3.50. The fall Of hall
during the storm was terrific. Mr.. Rod
gers struck deep places In the water in
getting from the house and was forced
to swim. just when he thought that be
would be unable to 60 any farther on
account Of the strong current, he found
that he had reached place where he
could again touch bottom, and he manag-
ed to struggle to the higher ground
The buildings and feed on the place
are almost, complete loss. Others In
this district suffered from hall and high
water. Geo. Allen lost few cattle,
killed by the hail. The praires In that
vicinity are covered with dead jack rab-
bits and birds.
Mr.. Rodgers has had terrible expert
ence with storms. Six years ago he was
in a cyclone, and not only lost every
thing, but his wife was killed.

DODGE CITY, KANSAS.
DODGE CITY, KANSAS.

People at Liberal are now figuring
on the Frisco Railroad coming that way,
which would help to develope the
country to the Southwest Of us. This
will naturally help 10 the developement Of
this part. The Liberal news says: "For
the last several months there has been
much printed in the papers regarding
the proposed movemen. of the Frisco
railroad In o northwesterly direction
from Enid. In nearly every instanse
this town has been mentioned as an inn
portant point on the proposed route
frem Enid to Denver, Colorado. The
country which this line would enter Is
practically undeveloped, and the posi- /.
bilities are indeed inviting to a railroad.
From all indications which we have
gathered lately, we believe that the
time ia not far distant, when the real
work Of construction Of the Frisco road
from Enid through Liberal to Denver,
Colorado, will be commenced. Il has
lately been discovered that the pro-
perty which the Rock Island owns 10
this town, has been taken of the market
All this has been done since the Frisco
has lately began preliminary work on
the proposed route"

Republican Central Committee.

The Republican central committee
meeting had a small attendance on Mon
day on account Of the very bad weather,
Few members from outside Of town were
present. On motion II was voted to ad.
journ the meeting until Saturday Sepsem.
Der Is, SO that all members Of the COM
mittee could be present and have voice
In the selection of a chairman and sec
retary, and the conduct Of such other
business as may come before the meeting.
1t was agreed by oil Of those present that
this was the proper thing to do, and
consequently no business whatever was
taken up at last Mondays meeting. The
meeting was called to order by A. Rus
sell, chairman Of the old committee, and
F. w. Tyler was elected temporary
chairman, and Carl Van Ripper temporary
secretary.

PRICE NOMINATED
Former Judge is Selected as the
Republican Nominee for this
District.

Judge Francis @. Price was nominated
for Judge Of this district at.the Republi-
can convention held at Greensburg on
Wednesday, and word was received from
him that be would accept the nomination.
In the convention three candidates
were placed in nomination: Mr.. Price
was placed before the convention BY
Capt. Painter, OF Meade, and Gordon L.
Finley, Of Dodge City was placed In
nomlnatlon by L. A. Madison, and John
Davis. Of Grsensburg by J. L. Stoker
The situation In the race was peculiar
one. Judge Price served for several
years on the bench in this district and
gave the utmost satisfaction. It is
seldom that any mans course meets with
such universal approval. 1t was felt by
the district strongly that Judge Price
should be recalled to the position.
Judge Prices friends, however were
Mr.. Finleys friends as we'll. Mr.. Finley
while a young man, is able and OF high
character and those who were most
earnestly wanting Judge Price returned
to the bench did not wish to do anything
to oppose Mr. Tinley's advancement, and
the fact that Judge Price was not seeking
the nomination., naturally encouraged
Mr.. Finley in making a campaign for 1t.
He made gallant fight and the strength
that he showed proves that the only
thing that could have kept him from
securing the nomination was the fact
that Judge Price had served the district
so we'll when he was on the bench be-
fore.
MIR. Davis received the vote Of his own
county, Kiowa, Mr.. Finley received a
two.thirds vote OF Ford and ene-third OF
Gray. Commanche county was divided
but was changed before the ballots were
counted, and Judge Price was nominated
on the first ballots by the votes Of Clark,
Commanche, Meade, with four from
Gray and one third of the votes from
Ford. ~
The following central committee was
selected and organized by electIng J. w.
Bergman, chairman, and W. r. Gordon
secretary.
Ford county, W. R. Gordon.
Commanche county, II. j. Thornton
Clark county, J. W. Bergman.
Gray county, John Hennon.

FRED GARDNER RESIGNS.
Has Been with the Santa Ee as Agent
for over Twenty Years.

Has Been with the Santa Ee as Agsn,
for over Twenty Years.
Fred Gardner who has been the Santa
Fe agent at Dodge City almost since tho
time when the railroad made Its appear.
ance to put the mule trains out Of busi-
ness. has sent In bis resignation, with the
request that be be relieved a. soon al
possible.
Mr.. Gardner is not only one Of the
Oldest agents on the system, but be is one
Of the best. He 10 very comfortably
fixed financially, and for some time has
not felt physically able to lead The siren
uous life Of On agent. He has wanted to
let 60 for good while, but although he
had nearly every thing that came up In
railroading down pat, there was just one
thing that he did hot know how to 60
about. That one thing was letting loose.
Any brakeman who had made three
runs could have given the veteran agent
all kinds of pointers about how to quit
his job. And SO 1t has taken considerable
time, and all kinds Of effort for Fred to
break away, and II will be long time
before he ceases to feel like he ought to
hustle out in the morning and look after
the local business Of the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Gardner ~ soon as he is relieved
will take rest, and probably visit In
California, and after he gets through
with that, unless he should change his
mind, he will take some more rests. He
has had few vacations during the last
thirty years and he naturally feels like
making up for lost time.
1t is not known yet, who will be put In
the Dodge City Office. There are two
good men in the service who are familiar
with this station, W. R. Klinedenst now
agent at Great Bend, and r. d. Rhodes,
who isagent at st. John. Both are good
men, bnt both are no doubt needed in
their present places.
The Office here will have to start In
with two new men, as Herbert Whitworth,
who has been cashier at the freight Office
has resigned to take position in Califor-

Theae is an advertisement another
place inthis issue that looks good to the
writer, and will no doubt to all others
who are interested In Ford County. The
I'D referred to Is Mr.. Patterson's an
nouncement headed peaches. His
orchard 10 near Ford, and he has great
crop this year. There will be several
hundred bushels and be will sell them at
the low price Of so cents per bushel.
What Ford county needs above nearly
any thing else 10 to produce more Of the
fruits and things that we have always
depended on shipping In. The peaches
that Mr.. Patterson will sell for 80 cents
would cost dollar II expressed to this
point from Hutchinson. The express
would easily double the price, and the
money paid for both the express and the
fruit would 60 out of the county. On
home grown fruit the man who ralses 1t
gets the 30 cents and the man who buys
1t saves IS much as be pays, by avoiding
any express charges. There are many
kinds Of fruits, and most kinds Of garden
truck that oughtto be raised here in great
er quantities, and the Globe-Rspubllcan
is glad to be able to stats that there ia at
last a tendency toward this end. As 1t
has been in the past too great part Of
the cost Of living has gone to the rail-
roads and express companies. Every
thing grows here, and grows as well as
II does any place in the land. The only
thing needed Is to plant frnit trees, gar
dens and crops and care for them proper.
