9'Hoss" Race Contest Between KinsIey and
Dodge City Settled This Week In
Favor Of Dodge

The horse race contest between Dodge
City and Kinsley which started a few
seasons ago settled down TO two PAGERS,
Bay Ben, owned at Kinslev, and Winnie
Y, owned here by P. II. Young Bay
Ben was beaten first at Kinsley by Win
nile Y, and was brought to the races here
later, where an accident gave him the
race. Both towns then were sure that
they would win the next race. This
final race occurred at Kinsley yesterday,
|, when Winnie Y beat Bay Ben SO easily
that there Is no further doubt as to the
standing OF the two horses. In this race
Chief Vesuvlus was third. The time
was los, 1:072, los. half mile heats.
On Tuesday at Kinsley the 2:lS pace
was won by w. A. Stewards "Belle Of

GREAT EXPRESS TOWN.


According to the reports OF the Wells
Fargo & Company Express filed with
the State Auditor itappears that Dodge
City is the sixth station In the state In
point Of volume Of business transacted
for the year. Topeka, Hutchinson,
Wichita, Winfield. Larned and Dodge
City is the order In which the stations
come in the list Of business transacted.
The amount Of business done at this
station was $4.221.4 As. The Garden City
station did business which amounted to
$3,045.76. These figures are for the
entire amount OF business done at the
station for the year ending April Both.
This is remarkably good showing
for this station, when 1t is remembered
that the Wells Fargo Company has
stations in such cities as Great Bend,
Coffeyville, Independence, Emporia
and other cities larger than Dodge
City In point Of population.

CHALK BEEsoN FOR SHERIFF

The announcement Of G. M. Beeson
for Sheriff appears In the announcement
colHmn OF this issue Of the Globe -Repub-
lican. In making this announcement
Mr.. Beeson has yielded to the argument
OF local Republicans that he would be
the strongest candidate for this place
that can be found In the county, and
that be owes 1t to the Republicans Of
Fcrd county, who have honored him
heretofore with their confidence, to come
to the front and make this race. He
served as sheriff In earlier days in Ford
county when 1t took pluck and ability to
fill the place, and the record he made In
those days is still remembered. He not
only made record for his party and his
friends to be proud Of, but he was i'm
partial In his dealings with individuals,
careful, and he was there, personally,
when needed. Ford county has never,
in her entire history, had better sheriff
than Chalk Beeson. No one can dispute
that statement, and IL anyone should try,
the result would be that he would only
get himself dlscredited in Ford county.
With Mr.. Beeson nominated and elected
Ford county will haye the best sheriff in
Kansas, without doubt.

Small Crowd Heard the Salina Man at the
Opera House Friday Afternoon.
There were about sixty people in the
opera house last Friday afternoon when
Mr. Bristow, of Salina, made his talk
that was billed for Dodge City. Mr.
Bristow is Kansan who is pretty well
known, and is a candidate for United
States senator. His campaign Is natur-
ally handicapped by the fact that he has
been friend and supporter of Senator
Long and has always endorsed Mr..
Longs acts In Office until this year, and
is now trying to find faul. with Long in
bis own interest.
Mr. Bristow made very good speech
along the line Of needed reforms which
all republicans, at least western re-
publicans, have been favoring for some
time, and was lstened to attentatively by
the small audience that was present.
