Happily Married.

Gordon R. Smith and Miss Vala Ber.
nard were united in marriage at the
home Of the bnde's parents in Moore
township Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock, July II, 1907. DR.. J. w.
VanDewalker Of this city performed the
ceremony.
Gordon is the youngest son Of r. M.
Smith and wife Of this city, formerly Of
Elwood township. No community can
lay claim to more industrious, cordial,
whole-souled young man and his success:
is well merited.
His bride is daughter Of Mrs. A.
DeMott. She is one Of Barber county
most beautiful and charming young ladies.
Her prior residence was at Sharon where
she has many admiring friends, as well as
in the Moore-Elwood vicinity.
The happy couple will live on the
Smith ranch. Their hosts Of friends every
where take pleasure in congratulatins
them.

Too Many Machines.

The Avery Threshing Machine Com
pany applied for a receiver to take
charge of some Of Elmer Rules property
in Sharon township, in Probate Judge
Ganison's court on Monday. The Com
pany alleges that Mr.. Rule purchased a
threshing outfit from it and refuses to ex-
ecute notes and mortgages on personal
property as stipulated in contract.
Mr.. Rules defense is that he con-
tracted for an Avery machine with the
proviso that if the Advance machine would
not suit him better or if for any other
reason the Advance machine order should
be cancelled. 1t seems that he had con-
tracted for an Advance machine before
the Avery agent solicited his business but
was not assured Of its delivery but soon
afterward he chose the Advance ma
chine and notified the Avery people not
to ship theirs. Both machines were
shipped and Elmer refused to receive the
Avery Shipment The Company now
enters suit and asks for a receiver to take
charge Of his crops and other effects and
make payments as per contract
Judge Garrison, after devoting an af-
ternoon to hearing the evidence and ar
guments Of attorneys, denied the appli-
cation. The next movement Of the
plaintiff is not stated for publication.
G. M. Martin and Samuel Griffin
represented the Company and Seward l..

Made Full Settlement.

Geo. r. Taylor returned home from
Wichita Tuesday night Of last week
AS related in the Index last week, the
St. Paul Insurance Company requested
him to come to its Wichita Offices to talk
over the matter Of his tornado loss. The
company settled the claim in full without
quibblng after Mr.. Taylor told them the
facts in the case and showed the receipt
for the premium money paid.
1t seems that all the delay in settle
ment was the fault of the agent who
solicited Mr.. TayIor's risk. He wa:
negligent in the matter Of writing policy
and making proper returns and probably
has been called down very emphaically
before this time.
P. L. Lake, local agent for the COM
pany, accompanied Mr.. Taylor on the
trip and the company paid both parties
expenses. The agent who solicited the
business lives at Anthony and did mol
honor the occasion with his presence.
The St. Paul deserves credit for max
: ing this settlement and is entitled to com.
plete exonnerahon In the matter.

Resolutions Of Respect

Eldred Post No. ia, C. A. r. have
adopted the following resolutions on the
death OF their comrade, John r. Mccoy:
One by one our ranks are being de-
pleted and we are again brought face to
face with the automatic fact that man
must surely die. Our beloved comrade,
John Robinson Mccoy, departed this
life July lth, 1907, at the age of 68
years. 2 months and 20 days. He en-
listed as First Sergeant, Company B.
First Regiment West Virginia Cavalry,
August 6. 1861, and was afterward
promoted to First Lieutenant of the same
regiment, receiving his honorable dis
charge July 29, 1865.
In his death our Post loses one of its
best and most highly respected and be-
loved members, the city and county loses
most worthy and cordial citizen but the
most sacred grief is that shared first, by
the bereft widow and secondly, by the
sons and daughters who have said last
farewell to kind-hearted and afec-
tionate husband and father. In their houl
Of sorrow Eldred Post tenders them the
heartfelt sympathy Of all the members
who mourn with them.
Resolved, that a copy Of these reso-
lutions be spread on the records Of e.
dred Post, a copy delivered to each Of
! the Medicine Lodge papers for pubIca-
ton and copy presented to the wife ol
our departed Brother and Comrade.

The city school board elected the bal
ance Of the teachers for the city public
schools last Thursday. The High School
faculty is as follows:
Superintendent, D. w. Major, Medi-
cine Lodge.
Instructor in English and History, Miss
Annie E. Bell, Winfield.

man, Miss Lila Powers. Wichita.

cine Lodge; Fourth, Miss Ella M. Guth-
rie, Harper; Third, Miss Maude Eng
lish, Medicine Lodge; Second, Miss Min
ME M. Cant, Medicine Lodge; Primary,

teachers in the city schools. Four had
to be supplied. Misses Woodward,
Likes and Smart who were not re-em-
ployed were offered their places but de-
cGned.
School will open September End and
continue in session nine months. 1t will
be the first year the county High School,
which was authorized by an almost unani-
nous popular vote last November, will
be in operation and the faculty is unusu-
ally strong. Medicine Lodge is now on
an equal footing with any public school
in the state and there is no reason why
any Barber county boy or girl should go
away to college and pay tuition when
he or she can receive the same educa-
ton at home and free Of charge. Our
school has been the pride Of the city for
any'years and with the facilities added
this year it is even better than ever be-
fore in its history.
The course Of Study and annual bulle-
TIN will be out next week.

ers if satisfactory arrangements can be
made.
