Charley Mo9et is quite sick with the
dreaded fever. For several weeks he
has been mdisposed and last Wednesday
became bedfast. His condition at present
does not seem to be especially alarming.
VIM. Marquand and c. C. Wood
ward have contracted to build nice E.
room house for ]. A. Lyle in Eagle
township. They began this week removing
the old house and putting In the founda-
hon for the new.
Jas. Dobbs and the boys, Richard and
Frank, went to Colorado Springs last
Friday where Mrs. Dobbs and the baby
are spending the summer. MIR. Dobbs
returned home Monday night, leaving
the family at the summer resort.
The Methodist Brotherhood sent
Ernest Phipps to hospital in Kansas
City for treatment last Friday. Rev. w.
n: Moore accompanied him. The Broth
erhood has only been organized a
short time but is growing rapidly. Be-
sides the many admirable spiritual and
moral traits Of the organization, the prac-
tical benefits are shown in the case Of
the Brother in this particular instance.
Hon. F. c. Field Of Reno county
was interviewing our people last Thurs
day. MIR. Field is one of the democratic
candidates for place on the state board
of railroad commissioners and as neigh
Dor should have the loyal support Of
Barber county. He has served his dis
trict very creditably in the state senate,
is man Of extraordinary ability and
would make a Strong commissioner.
When you go to the primary next Tues
day do not forget to vote for Mr.. Field
and two others.
George A. Bucklin, Jr., and wife
arrived Friday to visit few days with
his parents, @. A. Buckiin and wife.
Mr.. Bucklin has for the past year or
more held Consulship al Glauchau,
Germany but was recently promoted to
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, with an IN
crease Of salary Of $500 per aunum, the
latter place paying $2500.00. He
arrived at Washington from Germany
July l5th and is now on his way to his
new post Of duty in Mexico. Mr..
Bucklin is a Barber county boy and
our people are proud Of his achieve
ments.
Hon. w. c. Afford Of HazeIton was
in the city on Saturday attending to
some private business matters. Mr.. AL
ford is one Of the democratic candidates
who has been urged into the Represent
alive race but he is not making button
hole campaign for the nomination. He
says he is leaving that matter entirely
with the Democrats Of Barber county.
If It is their will that he shall take a
place on the ticket he will make the
best fight he is able to put up for the
election, but he has neither the time nor
the inclination to get out and campaign
for the nomination. Mr.. Afford is very
busy just now in taking care of his al
falfa and com crops.
A. w. SchneIIe was over from
Sharon last Friday in company with
a salesman who Is putting on a two
weeks sale for Schnelle & Son at Sharon.
They intended to get out extensive ad-
vertising matter while here but found
both printing Offices buried in work and
decided it would be too late when the
Offices here could reach their work. The
Index is very sorry that it could not ac-
commodate MIR. Schnelle. The print
ing Of the primary election ballots coup
led with the fact that we are short a
compositor made it impossible to handle
the work this week. However, we
hope that Mr.. Schnelle was able to have
his work done elsewhere and that his
sale will not suffer on account Of our
maDu1ty 10 ndn0le MS advertising matter.
Hon VIM. Gesner is spending the
closing days Of his nomination campaien
in the northern half of the county. If
there is such thing as winning with
hard work Billie will surely win. In
spite Of the fact that the Index can en-
dorse few Of the political measures and
policies for which he Stands, we admit
that he has faculty that almost COM
pels one to Ike him personally. With
all that has been said and written Of him
and his record he maintains his compos-
ure and comes up smiling. There IS
really something magnetic about the man
and while he is doomed to certain de-
feat at the general election should he
win the nomination. this paper confesses
