j. D. Mathews Candidate for Sheriff

J. D. Mathews Of this city and at pres
ent Sheriff kidd's under sheriff. has an
nounced his candidacy for the Office of
sheriff. subject to the will of the republi-
cans Of Barber county at the August pri-
mary. Mr.. Mathews considered this
matter several weeks before arriving at a
decision and it was only on Saturday that
he made up his mind to permit his friends
to circulate his petition.
MIR. Mathews is in no sense a polih-
clan. If he meets with opposition in his
own party it will be because Of his hber-
ality at the polls, for he quite often
votes mixed ticket. The fad
that he was deputy under the late Sher-
if McCracken and under sheriff by ap-
pointment Of the present sheriff, c. w
Kidd, may operate against him In the
eyes Of strid partisans, but it may also
have the effect Of bringing support from
the democratic party.
So far as this office is concerned, ther.
will be little Of partisan nature
it will be beautifully mixed. Before tn.
ball starts to roll the Index is going to b.
frank and say that if Mr.. Mathews il
nominated, the republicans will hav,
chosen wisely and he will be a formid
able ca4didate for the democratic candi
date to antagonize.

Rev. Canon Belsey conducted services at
St. Marks Episcopal church in this city

is one Of the most prominent bishops IN
the west and his visits to this city are not
frequent, hence his presence on this oc-
casion was douby appreciated and en-
joyed by the members. He has an ele-
CANT flow Of speech and magnetic voice
and to hear him is literary and spiritual
heat.
At the close Of his sermon Mr.. Sam.

rule will hold as in the purchase Of any
thing else-it doesn't pay to buy some
thing just because it is cheap. IL Bill

raised by being engossed IN three differ
ent counties and districts. If he loses to
Mr.. Griffin he can charge it up to the
fact that he Started wrong.
There is no reason why Medicine
Lodge should not land the government
FISH hatchery. The beA authority says
that the country tributary to the city on

to dot. The waters of Elm Creek are
the very best for fish rearing and the
hatchery could be installed at minimum
