VIII Endorse johnson.

ST. Paul, Minn.. May 13.-An almost
unanimous sentiment in favor of in
dorsing Governor John A. Johnson for
the democratic presidential nominal
tion is evident among the delegates
who are here for tomorrow's state
convention. The Bryan forces are in
a hopeless minority and 1t appears
certain that Johnson will have the
hearty support of the delegates to be
elected tomorrow.

The Swine and the Flower

wherein drove Of wallowing swine
were barred, =,
Whose banquet shocked the nostril and

Then spoke voice, "Behold the source
Of iard!"
I fed, and saw field that seemed at first
One glistening mass Of roses pure and

With dewy buds mid dark green foliage
nursed;
And, as fingered DER the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that
Southern scene,
Whispered, Behold the source Of

County Business

The board Of county commissioners
closed contract last Thursday night
with the Bene6el Hardware Company
of this city to install the Moline Vacuum
heating system in the courthouse. The
plant will cost $l,675. The Chase
Hardware Company also submitted a
bid. but as there were no plans and
specifications from which to make eai-
mates, the latter firm figured on a larger
plant than the one to be installed and
consequently their figures were higher.
Both firms had experts here from Hutch
inson.
The commissioners figure that the In
stallation Of heating plant will make a
saving sufficiently to pay the expense In a
short time. Every room in the building
will be supplied with radiators and it is
claimed that the system will heat the en-
tire building within fifteen minutes after
a good FIRE is built in the furnace.

A Pleasant Day.

On Wednesday, September 3Oth,
the Baptist Aid Society IN carriages and
buggies. wended their way westward,
to the beautiful alfalfa farm of Nj. T.
Williams. Now if there is one place
more than another these ladies like to
go. it is to this home. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
William are such royal hosts, and there
is so much to see and enjoy. The horse.
are the finest. the cattle are the sleekest,
the pigs the fattest, the alfalfa the green
est.
A number Of times before have these
ladies enjoyed the hospitality Of this
couple. viii we ever forget the load.
we have shocked and loaded, the pig
we chased and captured, all generously
donanted. But this day was to be the
greatest Of all. For the ladies had
three objects in view. First, it was the
second anniversary Of the wedding Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams and the ladies
wanted to celebrate it in betting man
ner. Needless to say the table groaned
under the good things the guests had
provided. Laughter and merriment
reigned supreme. One lady offered Mr..
Williams sack Of ta9y, saying it was
the greatest thing tactully used known to
science to make the wheels go round.
But he smlngly declined, declaring his
good wife had been doing it out to him
tor two years past. and always kept an
unlimited supply on hand. The second
object was to lend helping hands to a
sister who with her three children and
sister will shortly leave America and re-
turn to her girl-hood home in England.
Three machines buzzed merrily and if
tongues flew fast fingers few faster, as
garment after garment was completed
and laid away. 1t is with sorrow and
regret we bid farewell to this excellent
family. Our love and best wishes go
with them. Third, the ladies had plan
ned surprise on Master Carl Reutlinger.
Each lady contributed something. |.
was a deat to watch Car's eyes grow
larger and larger as he gazed over the
bounifully spread table. He was pre-
sented with an American flag and told
never to forget the land Of his birth and
to come back some time, to become a
citizen in the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave. But the sinking
sun warned us it was growing late, so we
reluctantly bade farewell to our hosts
wishing them many happy returns Of the
day.
To the knowledge Of the writer, Mr..
Williams has but one fault. He is a
Republican, but we live in hope that by
reading the Index and careful thinking
he will see the: error Of his ways, re-
pent and turn before it is everlastingly too
late. -

An Excellent Entertainment.

The Wichita Ladies Quartet enter.
tanned large and enthusiastic audience al
the opera house Tuesday evening, Octo-
Der 9th. The selections rendered were
quite appropriate and the voices blend
ed in perfect harmony.
Miss Gertrude Johnson, the second
contralto and pianist. executed her ,part
with grace and ease which mark the
true artist. Miss Ruth Keller won the
hearts Of her hearers by her clear
musical voice. The quality Of her
voice was especially manifested in her
reading. The variety of her subjects
and her manner Of reading proved her
to be equally skilled in the different styles.
The second soprano was taken by
Miss Mabel Cochran. Her voice is
full. rich and smooth and is suited to
that particular part.
Miss Bertha A. Miller, the FIRST So
prano. is a singer Of more than average
ability.
The people Of Medicine Lodge are
always ready to welcome a hish-class
entertainment Of this order. Ikthis COM
pany ever comes again we anticipate
even larger audience than greeted them
on this visit. While they make no
especial claim as an opera company and
have confined their entertainments
principally to their home city, they de-
serve to be ranked equal to the best
companies Of this class who follow the
work as a profession.
The ladies are intimate friends ol

Saturday night and for a short time his

to the extent that he required constant

Judge S. P. Garrison has proved to
be one Of the ablest probate judges
Barber county has ever had. His de-
cisions are always sound, he has never
been reversed by higher court and
his clerical work is noted for its ac-
curacy and neatness. His administration
has been absolutely free from political
bias and every person who has had
business in probate court has been
accorded courteous and cordial treat
ment. Judge Garrison is a democrat
and is candidate for reelection. Re-
pubGcans, democrats, prohibitionists and
socialists. all can vote for JudgesGarri-
son with clear conscience.
In the nomination of Robt. l.. Groen-
dycke Of Nippawalla township, for

one Of Barber county's most courteous and
all around good men. is an expert mathe-
matician and a very neat penman.
Barber county has heretofore been quite
fortunate In securing men Of superior
qualifications for this very important
Office and Mr.. Groendycke in this respect
is equal to the best Of them and su-
perior to some Of them. If the entire
county xvere searcbed from to,.,n,b;n >,

a better man for this particular office
could not be found anywhere. If you
do net intend to do another good deed
in the remaining portion Of your life,
