1t is reported that Albert Rumsey
has invested in a big WhiteSteamer.
Well, it took Albert about two
years to get the fever, but when he
got it he had a bad attack. One
thing about him, he never does
things by halves. He goes the
limit.
With the exception of a suspect
ed bootlegger, who was only in
four days, the Hotel de Mathews,
at Medicine Lodge, has been with
out a guest since the first of Janu-
airy, the date on which BALKAN,
"our Balaam," hied his way hence
ward. The proprietor, "Dick"
Mathews, says he is seriously con-
sidering applying for receiver, as
his hostelry cannot possibly run
without guests.
Guilford Davis, from Medicine
Lodge, who, by the way, needs no
introduction to the Kiowa ball
public, is to pitch the first game.
Goddard, of Dodge City, will be
the receiving end of the battery,
Goddard is an old league player,
and will undoubtedly prove tow
er of strength. This insures us
practically the fastest battery in
the league.

Late political gossip is that Tom
McNeal will oppose Dan Anthony
for the republican nomination for
congressman in the first district.
As democrats in the first district
are only slightly more numerous
than teeth in a hen, a nomination
on the republican ticket amounts
to an election and if McNeal and
Anthony lock horns it will be a
desperate scrap" Toms Barber
county friends would like to see
him win.

Gov. w. S. Taylor and others
over whom indictments for the
murder of Gov. Goebel have hung
for nine years, have been pardoned
by the present governor of Ken
lucky. Taylor has been protected
in Indiana ever since the murder
and refused to go to Kentucky,
pleading that he could not get a
fair trial on account of the preju-
dice that existed there against him.
In this contention he was support
ed BY the Indiana governors who
refused to honor acquisitions for
his return. AS matters now stand
the murder of Goebel goes practi-
Cally goes UNPUBLISHED.

There is more catarrh in this sec- tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease apl prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is tke only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally ID doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials.
