The Independent Paper

The independent paper nova
days is the paper that commands
confidence, because it IS realized
that a paper to be worthy of con-
fidence must be to a large extent
independent, and, said DIR. Holt,
editor of the Independent, re-
Gently: The successful papers,
the papers of standing, are losing
their allegiance to the political
parties. It is no longer popular
for newspaper of standing to
say that the worst Republican is
better than the. best Democrat.
That day has gone by. People
are too intelligent. And if they
know in advance what a paper is
going to say, because tits stamp
ed with party label, they do
not want it. At least, not very
many of them do. The growth
of the independent newspaper is
the best evidence that this policy
pays.-Benton Record.

of Teddy the strenuous, called
unto them their chief LAWYER,
and began to examine into the
doings of these bands in the pro-

report it came to pass that some
of these captains had taken from
the vaults of the trust funds, en-
trusted to their care for the wild
ows and children, and loaned the
same to themselves, on INSULT
cient security, and some had by
craft, and false swearing secured
this Gold and Silver for themsel-

great for their shame was open
and public before the sun, and
many of them were great in the.
church, and in society. Then
were they stricken with shame,
and fear, and some fled and went
down to the sea and paid the.
ship captain money, and fled to
other lands. And some sickened
and died of fear and shame, while
others resigned their positions,
and in disgrace hid themselves in
secret places, and their wives
and daughters were disregarded
and could not hold up their heads
before the people.

Dancy Did BUSINESS.

A week or two ago the Globe
published comment about the sale
of the Minneola Record, which the
Fowler Gazette copied and com
mented on. The Globe article
seems to have stirred up the boys
along the line. Hear them:
The Globe man surely had ..pipe
dream" and wanted to fill up space
when he put this article in his pa
per. We suppose from his last
statement that ne has examined Mr..
Dancy's books for the last years
work. We have been watching the
Record for the past year, and know
that it has been one of the best pa
tronized papers for advertising along
the line \ look et the Globe and
Record would be convincing 10 any
man as to which was the paying
proposition. The Record H A S

In last weeks paper in letter
by A. Bennett we stated that
Hoodo Brown was, at the time of
which N4-. Bennett wrote, living
at his road ranch on what is now
the Stalder place east of town.
Both William Jobling and E. H.
Boyer, who were living here at
the time, call us down. They
say that Hoodoo did not leave his
place near where the Adobe
Wall trail crossed Crooked Creek
until either 1881 or 1882. A con-
verSation we once had with Mr..
Brown led us into infering that
he came down to his last place
much earlier.
Mrs. H. A. Busing came up
from their ranch on the Cimar-
ron Friday in the auto with her
son, L. F. Schumacher, for a
visit with relatives and friends,
and to do little buying.
H. F. Danks came home this
week from Hutchinson, where
he had been under treatment
medically, necessitating a surgi-
cal operation. Henry said that
he was sure glad to be home
again.
The present indications are that
the country will not be short on
buckwheat cakes this winter. We
notice that one farmer in the east
will have 1000 bushels of that
grain.
Stepping in to Fick's large store
on Friday we found the whole force
going at trot handing out clothing;

A. D. Walker was in Meade

Col. o. r. Stevens, with Mrs.
Stevens and son Ferrol, left on
No. 2 Tuesday for Junction City,
Kansas, where he will attend
special session of the department

Farmers came in WedneS roar
ing about a mud hole in the east
part of town. There is a lot of
wheat out east and the farmers
can't pull load of so to 100
bushels of wheat through a stiff
mud such as that will be as soon
as it dries a little, and some of
them can pull to some other
place and. escape the mud.

NJ. A. Cummings, of Attica, Kan
sas, who bought tract of land east
and south of Meade has raised two
fine crops of wheat on it since he
acquired the title. He grows the im5
proved grain recommended by the
Kansas Agricultural expert m Mt
managers of the Agricultural college.
For his crop this year he is offered
IS cents above the market price at
any time he elects to sell. He has
also improved his land in an excel
lent manner, having it all enclosed
with good wire fence stretched on
cement posts. This summer he has
erected substantial farm residence
on the place. Mr.. Cummings is
merchant at home, but he is a good
farmer in Meade The thing in his
method that appeals to US, IS that
he uses a part of his profits in en-
hancing the value and appearance

aims We're Scared Stiff Legged
Now it came to pass after
these things that the servants
of Teddy the strenuous, came
to him in the palace, and said un-
to him, Know Oil master, that
which ye sent us to do. And he
asked of them how it Jared with
the people, and whether or not
the captains of the bands with
held their hands, and let the
people go. And they answered
him nay, but they plan to go far
ther; and to take all of valuab
coal and mineral lands and the
water power which are of public
domain, and belong to the people:
moreover they think to stretch
out their hands and take all the
grain, the staff Of life. Then
.sNas Teddy, the strenuous, very
Wroth. and he said, | shall now
deal with these men, Make We
your report to the department
of Justice, and call hither to me
the chief of the lawyers, even
the Attorney General. And they
did as they were commanded.
Then commanded Teddy the
strenuous, of the chief of the
lawyers even the Attorney Gen
eral, saying, prepare papers, ara
accusations, even in accord with
the report of the men of the Sc
cret service shall We prepare
them. And when the legal for
malities are completed, give We
the accusations to the chief of
guard, even to the marshall shall
We give them. Then the Attor-
ney General hastened, and did as
he was commanded, and the mar
shall took the papers, even the
accusations, and laid hands on
certain of the captains of the
bands, called corporations, and
carried them before the Judge.
Then the Judge heard the cause
and he was grieved in the spirit
and ordered the corporations to
pay to the court many talents of
gold. But the captains of the
corporations said to the court by
their lawyers, If we had not Civ
en- the evidence to the men of the
secret service the officers could
not have produced the evidence
on which we are found guilty.
Then said the judge, Ye have
confessed your guilt. And to
this replied the captains of the
corporations, Yea, verify we con-
fessed, and our books do show
the same to be true, but the Off
GERS must prove the same for we
may not be found guilty on our
confession. We appeal from thy
judgment.
So they appealed the case. For
said they if I'VE cannot bribe the
higher courts yet will time weary
the people, and some accident
may chance in our favor. Or we
can secure some change by false
statements to the people through
the heralds, even the newspaper.
So they were content. Never
the-less they were scared stiff
legged. Then they counseled
together, and said among them
selves, we cannot give up this
great sum which we have by op-
pression and deceit taken from
Z he people of the land, for behold
kr is great. Also it would enable
many of US to live delicately, to
buy pleasure yachts. and clothe
ourselves, our wives, and our
children In soft raiment, also

Methodist Notes

The Sunday School Missionary
collection was S3.75. The largest
amount was from Mr.. Casteen's class,
S1,oo. The attendance was 81.
Next Sunday night the service
will be for young men. There will
be special music and the sermon will
be an address to young men.
There was a good business meet
ing of the League at the parsonage
Monday night. An effort is. to be
made to organize Mission Study
class. Miss Carrie White has the
matter in charge. 1t will be splen-
did and helpfal work.
We could not help but note the
large attendance of men at the Sun
day night service. They were more
than half of the congregation. The
Christian religion should and does
attract men. The men are taking
an increasingly active part in the
affairs of the church. AS proof of
this note the recent great Layman's S
missionary movement.
Jerome Potter left with his father S
car of household goods and per-
sonal chattles Fnday night for
Stuttgart, Arkansas. N. B. will re-
main for a short time settling up
his business affairs before Joining
the family in their new home. Mrs.
Potter and younger children are
now in Missouri visiting relatives
near Springfield, and will meet
Jerome at Stuttgart on his arrival.
Mr.. Potter is wise, in that he holds
his large farm in Meade county as
base TO which, he may retreat if
Arkansas fails to meet advance
notices.
J. ]. Mohler, down southwest on
Skunk Arroyo, is going into high
bred Galloway cattle raising. He
bought at the Haldeman sale four
head of registered cattle of that

Jess Bennett is now getting to
feel at home in his new position as

A Word About The ADVERTISE
fnenfS

Since taking the management
of the News we have devoted
some thought to the advertising
feature of the paper. both as to
benefits to be derived from ad-
vertising by the advertiser, and
the subscriber. We have tried.
and with some success, to have
the merchants select and adver-
tise goods that were worthy of
calling attention to, or which for
some good reason were offered at
a bargain. The result is that
the advertisements are of value
to our subscribers and advertis-
ers both, as the one is informed
of opportunities to buy goods
that are meritorious or that are
offered at special bargains, and
thus the others reach their Gus
toners. For that reason rad-
vertisers change their offerings
often, and present new attrac-
tons from week to week. It will
pay subscribers to watch the
ads IN the News. If we call
especial attention to an ad, it is
because there is some reason for
it which wlll1nterest buyers.
