immediate cause of the suspension is
given as a lack of ready cash. The

their money they badly embarrassed
The three banks.
The liabilities are upwards Of $780,.

PEASANTS STARVING
MILLIONS or RUSSIANS IN THE
voLGA DISTRICT IN NEED
OF ASSISTANCE.

Crops In Seven Provinces Are a Total
Failure and in Twenty Others the
Harvests Are Very Poor-Estimated
That s~eventy.fve Million Dollars
Will Be Needed to Relieve the
Distress.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-Princes
Lvof and Orbeliani, the representa-
tives OF the Moscow zemstvo famine
relief organization, who have just re-
turned from the stricken districts.
have furnished the Associated Press
with the following facts regarding the
conditions in the famine provinces:
The crops In the seven provinces
OF Samara. Saratov. Sembirsk, Kazan.
Penza, Tambov and Ufa were practi-
cally total failures. In twenty prov
inces the harvests were very poor.
About 100000 900 people will need as
sistance for from four to ten months
to stave off starvation until the new
crops are available. Though affecting
Is, 00O, 900 persons the restitution is
far less intense than 1t was In 1891.
IN some regions the inhabitants have
been suffering from starvation for ten
years, passible crops having been gath
cred In only two of the ten years.
Prince Lvoff believes the government
estimate OF $50. 000, 900 for famine re-
lief Is inadequate. The Moscow zemst-
vo relief organization calculates that
$Tb, o00, 900 and possibly more will be
necessary.
Though the conditions In the famine
regions are now distressing far worse
may be expected In January. The
organization funds will then
be exhausted and the relief commit
tees will be compelled to cease their
efforts for the starving peasants. Prince
Lvoff complained that the local off,
Gals, for political reasons, are inter
with the establishment OF soup
kitchens and the rendering of medical
assistance.
He reported cases where petty func-
tionaries prohibited assistance being
given to famine sufferers. Epidemics
of hunger. typhus and scurvy. which
usually began In February, already
have appeared In three provinces
Kazan and Samara.

FOR DISPENSING BOOZE.

An interesting proceeding before
Police Judge Stevens last Wednes
day was the case of the City OF
Medicine Lodge VS.. Ed Williams
The defendant was charged with
selling a bottle of whiskey to E. E.
McClearey. After hearing the evi.
dence and arguments of counsel,
Judge Stevens found the defendant
guilty and pronounced the lightest
sentence possible under the law,
which is 500 fine and 80 days in
Jail. Ed appealed promptly to the
district court and his bond was fixed
at 500. ]. D. Mathews and w. S.
Rubert are his sureties.
Mr.. Williams denies the charge
very strongly. He says he did not
sell the whiskey. His contention
is that he and others "chipped in
and had the goods sent by express
and in this instance he happened to
be the collector. On the other
hand, we are informed that Mr.. Nc
Clearey testified that he paid the
defendant dollar with. the under
standing that he could find a bot
tie of whiskey at a certain place,
and did find it.
The point involved is a legal one
which Judge Gillett will be called
upon to settle. G. Nj. Martin pros.
ecutes for the city and Noble &
Tincher will represent the defend
ant. :.
Immediately following the trial
last Wednesday, Mr. Williams came
near instituting a suit against City
Attorney Martin. He claimed *
cents for driving a bull for the at
torney and demanded immediate
payment or go to trial. The at
torney at first thought he would
stand trial but after a moments S
reflection, wrote a check, although
he says he. did not owe the debt.

Troy Stockstill who is now en-
gagged in electrical work in Harper
county, is a little careless about ad-
dressing his letters. Our city mar
shall received a short note from him
last week, reading thusly: Dear
Sweetheart:-Address me at Shook
instead of AWaldron hereafter.
The party who received the let
ter that the father should have re-
ceived, has so far failed to fess up.
D. P. Worrell, Judge Stevens
brother-in- law, of Hancock coun-
ty, Illinois, dropped in on a visit
last Wednesday. He took the
Judge by surprise and when he was
hrst seen on the streets many of
our people took him for the new
railroad president who was expect
ed that day. Mr. Worrell said that
nc HotiCed many people taking
more than an ordinary view of his
person but he did not suspect that
he was looked upon as being such
a famous man. Mr.. Worrel1 is de-
lighted with our country and thinks
this the proper time for investment.
In his part of the country land is
considered cheap at $Ioo and $I25
per acre and he reports a large en-
igration westward. This is his
first visit to Kansas and he is put
ting IN good time. His visit in
this locality will not extend much
over a week.

will have to "take back" or reap
point him. Of course, if there
should be any power exerted be-
hind the scenes the senate might
refuse to confirm the appointment
but so long as the postmaster gen.
eral stands pat Postmaster Titus
would hold the Office anyway. 1t
is given out that President Roose-
welt is in hearty accord with the
Cortelyou ruling, and that the ad-
ministration means business seems
to have been recently demon
strated in the state of Missouri in
a case where congressman and
senator both attempted to make
room for close friend. 1t happen
ed, however, that the present in
cumbent's record is clear and Gen
eral Cortelyou turned both the
congressman and the senator down.
The retention of Postmaster I'll
tus here, if that should be the final
result, will cause no regrets among
the patrons of the office, aside from
those who would like the plum
themselves. The Index, of course,
would like to see once again how
a democrat looks in the postoffice
but since that is out of the ques-
tion, our present postmaster looks
all right. As cordial, painstak-
ing, efficient official there is no
room for improvement. He is a
republican all over and a mighty
hard hitter but, happily, politics do
not enter into the discharge of his
duties, and at the window a demo-
crat, prohibitionist or socialist is on
an equality with a republican.

THE BEAUTIFUL SHARON VALLEY.

The Index this week has an H.
lustrated descriptive work on The
Sharon Valley recently gotten out
by Trice g. Winters. This Garden
Spot of the world is becoming fa-
nous throughout the continent as
an ideal place to live and prosper
and the good people of the Valley
owe much of its fame to such men
as Trice and Winters who are al
ways doing something to encourage
immigration. While the paper is
devoted principally to the Valley,
it also has some good things to say
about the county in general and we
invite the careful attention of our
readers-especially those who do
not reside in the county-to all
that it contains.
This literature has been gotten
up at great expense and it is the
purpose of the authors to give it
the widest possible circulation. If
you are already a Barber county
citizen they urge you to remain
one; if you are not, they invite you
to become one and long life, happi-
ness and prosperity will be your
heritage.

RAILROAD BUSINESS.

There is very little change in the
railroad situation this week. Messrs.
Peckham and Young of the Den
yer, Enid & Gulf did not make
their appointment here last week
as they had expected, but they in
formed Attorney Brown on Satur-
day that they will be here the lat
ter part of this week, the exact
time to be set later. In the mean
time Mr.. Brown was instructed to
hold the surveying and grading
crew within easy reach SO that
work could be renewed at a mo-
ment's notice.
On Monday Mr.. Brown and the
condemnation board went to XII
owa to begin the preliminary work
of condemning rightof way in cas-
es where settlement has not yet been
made, and while not much of an
official nature will be done until
after the meeting, enough business
will be transacted to keep the
board and its jurisdiction alive:
Those who are in position to
speak for the company continue to
stand pat on the proposition that
the road will be built.
The following statement was
given out from headquarters Mon
day: "The condemnation board
will start on the discharge of its
duties at Kiowa, Tuesday, Jan. e,
and will then adjourn 10 day GER
tain; the directors meeting was
postponed from Monday, Jan. -,
subject to the call of Vice President
Peckham, and the directors will
accordingly be called together soon,
at which time an important joint
conference of the directors and
stockholders will be had and at this
meeting it will probably be deter
mined as to whether and when the
work of construction in the county
will be resumed. Before the con-
demnation will be resumed the
above matters will be determined
and several changes in the line au-
thorized to be made by the directors.
