Hon. Geo. A. Neeley's Speech

Hon. Geo. A. Neeley Of Hutchin-
son, Democratic candidate for con-
gresham of the Seventh district of
Kansas, made a very strong speech
in this city Wednesday night of last
week. He was armed with Congress
man Madison's complete record and
showed plainly where Mr.. Madison
has been unfaithful to his trust. He
proved from the congressional rec
ord that, while Congressman Mad
ison is rated as an insurgent, he
voted with the standpatters on every
important measure and when 1t
came to a showdown, was working
shoulder to shoulder with Speaker
Cannon after pledging his constitu-
ents to oppose Cannon and Cannon
ism. Mr.. Madison has always strad-
died ever since he has been in
politics. He has never taken posi-
tion. He is a standpatter when in
standpat crowd, and an insurgent
when in an insurgent crowd, and
plays politics all the time. He has
parted company with Victor Muir
dock, the real insurgent of the
house, on every decisive measure
and yet has been an indispensable
quantity in the standpat camp.
Mr.. Neeley also took up the
Payne Aldrich tariff. He read the
schedules and showed that high du-
ties are imposed on the necessities,
while unused drugs and unheard-of
substances are placed on the free
list-such as arsenic, borax, cat-gut,
radium, chloroform and "divy-d1vy.
He said he had spoken in fourteen
counties, had interviewed thousands
of people and has not yet found one
man who had heard of "divy-divy.
And this is the way in which our
Republican friends figure that the
tariff has been reduced. 1t is so
patent to all that it is a sham and
it needs no argument.
Mr.. Neeley then took up his plat
form and told why he was in favor
of the initiative and referendum and
the recall, abolishing thousands OF
useless offices, requiring officehold-
ers to work or resign, economy in
public affairs, election of senators
by direct vote and many kindred re-
forms. He had an attentive audience
and his speech was appreciated.
The man who votes against Mr..
Neeley is simply voting against his
own interests.

A Fine Flower Garden

Mrs. ". C. Sleeper enjoys the dis
tinction of having one of the finest
collections of flowers that have ev-
er been grown in the city. Her gar.
den and lawn present an appearance
that excites the admiration OF all
passers and scarcely an hour in a
day passes without someone stopping
to spend a few minutes among the
flowers. The garden and lawn in
cludes endless varieties and Mrs.
Sleeper is to be complimented. She
has taken a great pride in her flow
ers and has devoted much time to
them. There is nothing more heauti-
full than nice, thrifty flowers and
Mrs. Sleeper understands better
than most people how to grow
them.

Jim Miller's Double"

J. NJ. Miller of Kiowa who attain
ed statewide fame in his splendid
Barber county agricultural and hor-
ticultural exhibit at the state fair at
Topeka the first half of the present
month, added a few more brilliants
to his crown by locating his double.
The incident is related in the To-
peka Capital of September goth, as
follows:
Two men walked up to the office
door of Commissioner Roy L. Bone
in the city building yesterday. The
first was James Miller of Kiowa
Kan, who was a heavy winner in
the grain exhibit at the Fair and
was in search of Mr.. Bone to get
orders to take charge of some of
the prizes which he had won. The
second was James Grant, who did
not give his mission.
Grant who thought he knew Com
missioner Bone, grasped the hand
of Mr.. Miller and said, "Well, Bone,
I've been looking everywhere for
you" Mr. Miller looked blankly at
Grant for a minute and then said:
80 have been looking for him
Grant understood and walked
straightway down the aisle out Of
the building. Miller however enter
ed the office and inquired for Mr..
Bone.
"At the Fair" YVES the reply oi
the clerk.
well, what kind of looking
man should I look for to find him?'
inquired Miller.
by George, look in that glass
there and you will see," was the re
ply. "He looks like you"
Great. Out hunting my double.
Beautiful chance to flatter myself,
eh?' Sid Mr.. Miller as he started
on his search.

Worth Considering

DR.. Henry Wisner of Sharon has
offered to install public drinking
fountain in the the school park and
a watering place adjacent, as soon
as the city gets it's water system in
better condition so that public
drinking fountain would be practi-
cal and sanitary.
The city should take advantage OF
this offer.
1t is a common complaint among
farmers that there is no place in
town where teams can be watered
NOR where people can get a drink OF
water without going to private wells
or cooling tanks, and on this ac-
count the city loses a great deal OF
trade.
We are strongly in favor of ac-
tepting DR. Wisner's offer-the soon
er the better.

Church Wedding at Sun City

While the wedding march was be-
ing played, Miss Josephine Meaders
and Mr.. Clyde Gilmore, attended by
Miss Gail Meaders, sister of the
bride, and James Adams, marched
from the ante-room around to the
rostrum where Rev. Adams of Belvi-
dere pronounced the fatal words
a senence for life. Homer Hastings
performed the part of giving the
bride away without making a single
Quibble (good boy) while John
Lamport's service as usher was good
enough Mrs Gilmore who is an at
tractive lady of 1S summers is the
eldest daughter of Mrs. Minnie
Meaders and was "born and bred'
within the city limits of Sun. This
part of the country has not yet pro-
duced a brighter and more in
tellectual lady than she. It was re-
marked by one of her teachers that
"She never met such a thing as a
difficulty in her school work. and
we also venture to say she is an ex-
cellent cook as well as handy at the
piano-a combination of qualities
that are indeed admirable. 1t is
hoped that Clyde's life will prove
worthy of this rare accession, and
that their union will be for the bet
ter. The presents they received are
both many and valuable. Their
home will be in Pratt county, in the
vicinity of Coats.

FIRE AT GERLANE
Five Buildings destroyed Sunday
Night. Cause Unknown.

The little village of Gerlane, ten
miles south of this city, was the
victim of a big fire Sunday night
and the following buildings were de-
stroyed.
Mel Strong, general merchandise,
restaurant and residence loss about
$2,5OO, insurance $1,000.
Clarence Martins granary con-
tanning 1000 bushels of wheat, part
ly insured.
Two dwelling houses and black
smith shop, no insurance.
The fire originated in Mr.. Strong s
store at midnight. Mr.. Strong was
not at home and by the time it was
discovered it was beyond control and
it was impossible to save anything
south of the store. There was a
high wind from the north and
all the buildings in the fires path
were consumed.
This fire, following SO soon after
the big fire at Sharon the previous
Sunday, indicates incendiarism and
it would be we'll for people to be
on guard. If there are fire bugs
in the land there is no limit to thu
damage they might do.
The fire is a great loss to Gerlane
in her infancy.

The Laugh is on G. NJ.

Hear ye! Hear YET! Hear ye!!!
The Hon G. M. Martin asserts that
Seward 1. Field was elected county
attorney in 1907 and that about
that time he had a transaction with
the county involving some lots in
Medicine Lodge, which he misde-
scribes. If Glover should be elect
ed county attorney and should make
as many mistakes as he did in this
article published in last weeks Re
county in bad straits.
Mr.. Martin was trying to refer to
sale of some town property made
by the county commissioners to Mr.
Field some years ago. The taxes on
this property had run for years and
years and amounted to much more
than the property was worth. The
house was about to fall down and
the party who owned it refused to
vacate. rField paid more than it
was worth, Strengthened out the tt

for his work. The property is now
on the tax rolls and is in good re-
pair. Mr.. Martin and nearly every
| property owner has bought tax tt
tie property on about the same
terms. There is nothing to how
about in this transaction at all. The
records are open and neither the
board of commissioners nor the
county attorney is open to censure

AS for myself 1 was we'll satisfied

Hats off to Sharon

The people of Sharon and yicini-
ty have every reason to feel proud
of the Sharon Valley Fair which was
held in that growing little city on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week. The exhibit of live stock.
poultry, agricultural and horticulture
al products, the art department, do
nestle handiwork- all were superb.
We have attended various fairs be-
tween Medicine Lodge and Chicago,
but we desire to say here and now
that we have never seen a better
quality display than Sharon ex-
hibited last week. 1t is true, nat
urally, that larger places have larg-
er displays but when you get down
to individual specimens it is Sharon
Valley against the world.
All premiums were awarded as
advertised and in most instances
there was little room for choice.
And these exhibits were not all.
Each days program was great. The
various riding and driving contests,
the Mounted Quadrille and the va
rlous amusements were entertaining
The races at the close of each
days program were splendid-as
good as can be seen anywhere.
The crowd was orderly and there
was nothing to mar the pleasure and
success of the occasion.
In few instances there were evil
dences of slight intoxication but
these cases were promptly taken in
charge by the marshals and there
was no excitement.
Sharon deserves unsparing praise
for her thrift and progressiveness
Her people are all right all the time
and they want the outside world to
know that they are alive.
We think that. other cities could
profit by Sharon's example.

BARBER COUNTY'S DISPLAY
Tom McNeal Pays a Fine Compli-
ment to Old Barber in last
Weeks Mail and BeeeZe

Tom McNeal did the handsome
thing by Barber County, in an edi-
torial way last week, in commenting
on the exhibit made by Miller & Bu-
chanan at the State Fair, and The
Index takes pleasure in reproducing
the article which is as follows:
There were a number of fine dis
plays of agricultural products made
by counties. Wyandotte had an es-
pecially fine display as did Jeffer-
son, Shawnee, Anderson and other
counties. will frankly own up,
however, to having been especially
tickled over the display made by my
old county of Barber. True, it was
not so extensive as some of the
others, but then Barber county has
Ocel regarded as strictly a grazing
county.
There are a good many people
who do not know that there is some
of the finest agricultural land in
the state down there in Barber. The
display that was made at the fair
was an eye opener to a good many
people who saw it. 1t was the work
of two men for the most part-two
Kiowa men, Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Bu-
chanan. The arrangement showed
taste that amounted to genius. And
they carried off first premiums on
wheat, oats and alfalfa seed.
when 1 landed in Barber there
were only three or four deed
ed quarter sections in the county
The man who insisted that it woult
ever be farming country was look
ed on as person who ought to be
confined in some lunatic asylum in.
stead of being permitted to run
loose among his fellowmen. Fur.
thermore,at that time it looked as il
that position was correct.
Now, after 80 years, to see the
county carry off first premiums or
three different kinds of agriculture
products simply shows that the early
settlers did not appreciate the pos
sibilities of that soil
Barber county has various kind:
of soil, but there are two in particu
lar that deserve particular mention
There is a brick red loan that at
first sight does not appeal to the oh
server as being fit for cultivation
AS a matter of fact however, it il
wonderfully fertile and with reason
| ably favorable seasons will yield tre
mendously. 1 have never seen veg
citation grow as fast on any othe
soil as on this red land in Barbe
county.
There is another kind of sol
known as the mulatto soil found il
Medicine Lodge Valley between Med
icine Lodge and KiOwa. This sol
is also marvelously rich and wit
favorable seasons will produce an
kind of crop grown in the nortl
temperate zone in the way of cere
ais. This year the land produced a
oat crop Of 90 bushels per acre.
Some of the finest alfalfa Ian
| in Kansas is found in the Medicin
valley and there are men gettin
rich down there who are never men
toned in public print. So 1 am no
so much surprised as gratified at
the showing made by Barber count!

Caught Eloping Couple

Sheriff J. S. Price of Meade coun-
ty, accompanied by a determined
father, was here on Monday to take
home an eloping couple.
The couple were on their way to
Oklahoma where they intended to
get married and they were very
much surprised when they met the
father of the wouldbe bride and
the sheriff in this city, arriving at
the same time that the fleeing
couple did, Monday morning.
Neither the father nor the young
people stated their names, but it
was learned that the boy was 20
years old and the girl IA. Both OF
the little ones broke down and wept
when they were captured and they
promised never to be naughty again.
The father and the sheriff took
them home on the afternoon train.
