A hush fell over the surgical ward

The patient groaned loudly as he

THEY LANDED ON THE "P'FESSAH. y

A man with cheap wares was on
the streets the last three days oflast
week selling them. He had col.
ored gentleman as a side attrac tion.
The colored man wore a large plug
hat and flashy togs and fof the pur-
poses of the entertainment sailed
under the very euphonious cogno-
men of "P'fessah.' He picked the
banjo and sang songs and made
funny remarks. But on the last
afternoon of the free exhibition
this man of great renown came to
sudden grief. Sheriff Roadhouse
of Ft. Scott dropped quietly into
the city armed with warrant for
the musical man of color and at
the request of the visiting sheriff,
City Marshal Stockstill and Sheriff
Haun took charge of the banjo
picker and escorted him to the bas-
tile where the Fl. Scott officer
handcuffed him and drove post
haste with him to Hazelton to catch
the Missouri Pacific train in order
to lose no time in getting home.
The colored mans correct name is
Vance Lowery. He was wanted
to answer to charge of forging
check in the amount of between
So and SIS.
The proprietor of the outdoor
store was much surprised to have
his musician taken SO abruptly. He
said he never knew him to do any,
thing wrong, but if guilty he desir-
ed to see him pay the penalty.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Monday morning abont ten
o'clock the threshers were at work

and Bucklin were sent for and DIR.
Bucklin arriving took charge of the
case. He found the victim to be
too badly mangled for home treat
ment and took him to the Wichita
Hospital Monday night where he
will receive the best surgical care.
DR.. Bucklin on his return from the
trip with his patient to the city
said he thought Mr.. Kimberlin
would phil through. Mrs. Kim

T. A. McCLEAREY DEAD.

The people of Medicine Lodge
were surprised and shocked at re-.
ceiving the news last Thursday
that Thomas A. McClearey was
dead. His death occurred at Se-
attic, Washington, while he was
visiting with his daughter, Mrs.
]. !. Cahill. The cause cf his
death was acute bowel trouble.
The remains were taken to Des
Moines, Iowa, where they were in :
tered in the family lot.
Mr.. McClearey was close to 70
years of age. He was one of Bar
Der county's early settlers, leaving
Medicine Lodge in the latter nine
ties. During both of the Cleve-
land administrations he was post
master and always proved a pain
taking and courteous official. Re-
ligiously he was a member of the
Christian church many years. Af-
ter removing to Iowa he was as
sistant pastor of the largest church
in the state.
\ He leaves wife, four sons and
three daughters. E. E. McClearey,
the youngest son, is the only one
who now resides here. He Yves
unable to attend the funeral.
w. G. Musgrove, formerly pub
Usher of the Index, writing to the
Index concerning his departed
friend, voices our sentiments in
this language: ga good man has
gone to his reward; his good works
will live on.

A FINE FRUIT FARM.

Through the courtesy of c. A.
Blackmore the Index publishers en-
joyed an afternoon at the famous
Sharon Valley Fruit Farm last
week. 1t would be difficult to i'm
agine how one could be, more
nicely surrounded than Mr.. Black
more is. He has a horticultural
plat of fifty acres and in it is con-
tained all the fruits that grow in
Kansas soil and climate. Tons and
tons of grapes, peaches and apples
have been shipped from his vines
and trees all over the country and
many more tons threaten to perish
before they can be handled. The
varieties are SO numerous that we
made no eff ort to note them and
each one seemed to look and taste
better than the previous one.
ed or or tasted.
In connection with his fruit, Mr..
Blackmore has a watermelon field
of forty acres. The melons are the
Alabama Sweet variety. S. w.
Alfred has the contract to ship
them and they are being hauled
away from Sharon as fast as cars
can be procured, yet in spite of all
that can be done, many thousands
are destined to perish on the ground.
These melons, we have no hesti-
fancy in saying, are the finest we
have ever tasted. Mr.. Blackmore
devoted many years to finding a
melon that will stand shipping
and at the same time not loose any
of its eating qualities and he has
at last found the ideal article.
The Sharon Valley Fruit farm
consists of 300 acres of land, a large
barn and fine house. In the pas
ture is an immense fish pond we'll
stocked with bass, croppie and cat
fish and the entire farm is surround
ed with good cheer and evidence
of prosperity on every side.
If there is anything lacking to
make Mr.. and Mrs. Blackmore en-
Joy life during all of their remain
ing years we could not detect it.

ratio inning anyway.

E. G. Latham of Latham, Mo-,
a nephew of c. G. and r. ]. Talia-
ferro, arrived last Wednesday to
visit a few weeks. He brings the
news that Walter Sparks, a brother
of the notorious Clay Sparks, kill
ed a boy a few weeks ago by
hitting him with brick bat in
fight. Clay, it will be remembered,
killed his brother, Emmett, at Elm
Mills in 1894, was sent to the peni-
tentiary but afterwards was par
doned by the governor. He went
to Missouri and is now in the race
horse business. T. L. Sparks, the
father, who was himself far from a
model citizen, died about four years
ago, leaving large estate. Clay
seems to have gotten the bulk of it
and is. going a merry pace. The
fact that the younger brother now
has blood stains on his hands at
the tender age of twenty years is
only a fulfillment of prophecy.
Barber did not suffer loss when
old Tom and his boys left.

County Treasurer Frank ]. War
rem has invested in a horse-a real,
live equine quadruped. Now ther
is no external indication that this
horse ever made the acquaintance
of a corn crib or an oats bin. He
was brought up among the wester
hills and lived by pneumatic iBspi-
ration but for all that our august
county treasurer loves that horse as
he does his wife and he declares
that before the campaign gets nice
ly warmed up he will have the
finest nag in the burg. But the In
dex would like to offer a friendly
suggestion: It's getting too close
to election for a candidate to get
stylish and the less times Bro. War
rem isseen out in daylight with
that "hoss" the more votes he will
save. This year looks like demo-
cratic inning anyway.

Rich Kansas Land.

CTune Beulah Land1
This is the land of corn and wine.
Where all the crops are looking fine.
The rain comes pouring down in sheets.
Ger all the fields and in the streets.
CHORUS.
Oh Kansas land, rich Kansas land.
AS on your fertile soil stand.
i look away across the plains,
And wonder why it always rains.
When thunder rolls with trumpet sound,
We know the rain can't pass around.
The farmer goes into his field.
He tries to figure on the yield.
And then you ought to hear him talk,
About two ears on every stalk.
We have the wheat. we have the oats,
We have the corn to feed our shoats.
With chickens always fat and sweet,
And pOrkerS for the choicest meat.
Our horses are the best on earth.
They're always sure to bring their worth.
Our cattle are so fat and sleek.
All packers for our pastures seek
We keep our houses warm and neat,
Our barns are simply hard to beat
We live like kings we're proud to say,
And lay up coin for rainy day.
