Fourth Number on Lecture Course

The Floyds, fourth mum Der on
the Lecture Course, will be here
February 24th. This number is
entirely different from any of the
others and will be greatly appreci-
ated: They are skilled magicians
and jugglers and they combine all
the rare arts that go with an enter
tainment of this character. The
management hopes to make this
number the banner one of the
Course and asks that the public
respond literally.
Remember that The Monday
Afternoon Club has charge of the
Lecture Course this season and that
the proceeds will be applied to the

No Law Against Checks for Less
Than a Dollar

The man or newspaper starting
the story that it was a criminal
ofense to issue checks for less than
one dollar is making a great deal
OF trouble all over the country.
Many bankers have beeen made to
believe that there is a new federal
law to this effect. State Bank
Commissioner ]. N. Dolley has
looked into the matter thoroughly
and states positively that there is
no new federal law on the subject.
There is considerable talk in
banking circles relative to sup.
posed federal law making it
criminal ofense to issue checks for
less than one dollar, said Mr..
Dolley yesterday. 81 wish to state
that there is no new federal law
making such a provision. Such an
impression has been circulated by
lll-advised newspapers, but the law
IN question is merely re- enacted
provision that has been in the fed
eral statutes for many years. 1t
was originally intended to protect
the old 'shinplaster' currency, and
does not prohibit the issuance of
ordinary bank checks or drafts. =
Topeka Capital.
The Index wasted great deal of
time trying to find some authority
for the claim made by some news
papers that a law of this kind ex-
listed, but we were not able to find
it and therefore did not reproduce
the news item" 1t always looked
like "fake" to us. Even if it
were a law, no court on earth
would uphold it.

Killed Almost Instantly

1t becomes our sad duty to re.
port another distressing accident
this week. Jimmy Bowman, the
1I-year old son of John Bowman
and wife of Lasswell, was shot on
Sunday afternoon by his older
brother, Ray, who is thirteen wears
old, and died within few minutes
after the accident happened.
The two brothers and a neighbor
boy, Tommy Reaves, who was the
youngest of the three, were out
target shooting. Just before the
fatal shot, Jimmy was returning
from a creek where he had been to
get drink of water. Ray told
HIN to get out of the way, but in
stead of stepping to the side out of
range of the revolver, he stepped
IN the other direction when the
shot was fired and the bullet en-.
tered his heart, killing him almost
instantly.
The other two boys carried the
body to the home, a distance of
two miles. The father was in this
city at the time and was notified
by phone The mothers shock at
seeing her boy brought home life
less must have been most ageniz-
ing.
The funeral was held at the
family home on Monday, conduct
ed by Elder Bishop M. Hopkins,
pastor of the Christian church OF
this city.
Uncle Ben Lasswell and wife
of this city are the boys grand
parents, Mrs. Bowman being their
daughter.
MIR. and Mrs. Bowman are pros.
trate with grief and their ordeal is
indeed near to unendurable. 1t is
one of the saddest misfortunes that
has ever happened in Barber county
and again emphasizes the great
danger of toying with firearms.
Our sympathy goes out to the
sorrowing parents and the other
relatives in their sudden and severe
aff1iCfion.

Same Old Story

Jess Morlan and Hank Dubois
were eiarrested for drunkenness by
City Marshal Stevens Saturday
night and on Monday morning
entered a plea of guilty before
Police Judge Kidd, City Attorney
Ilncher prosecuting.
Dubois was fined $50 and
costs, amounting to total bill of
S14.oo, and Morlan was fined $1oo
and costs, aggregating SIo6. so.
Dubois paid his bill but Morlan
could not raise the money and was
committed to Jail. Jess simply can't
get over the habit He has paid a
number of heavy fines and his folks
have helped him frequently. He
has been living in the country
several months but moved to town
last week and he was scarcely in
town when his weakness manifested
itself.
1t is understood that in the
course of few days he will be
paroled on condition that he leaves
town, which he agrees to DO.

Methodist Church

The special revival meetings
closed with last Sunday. We had
large congregations at both ser.
vices. Rev. Mr.. Timmons of Lake
City gave US valuable help last
week. We feel that a good work
has been done for our church dur
ing the revival and we are glad for
those who have begun the Chris
tian life. In a few weeks we will
formally receive into the church
those who have united with us dur
ing the meetings. Our regular serv-
ices are now resumed and we aim
to make them of revival nature.
Services will be held on Wednes-
day night of this week to which all
are invited, and the regular serv-
ices will be held next Sunday.
Come thou with us and we will
do thee good"

Census Enumeration

]. U. Brown, of Hutchinson
Supervisor of the Census for the
Seventh Congressional District, is
receiving applications from those
who want jobs. The national
census is taken every ten years.
The last one was taken in 1900.
At that time the population of Bar
Der county was 1854. Last year,
according to the returns made by
the different township trustees, it
was 8,oII, but as the trustees have
more than they can do in the mat
ter OF assessment, statistics, etc., it
is more than probable that these
hgures are not accurate and that
the government enumeration will
bring the figures up to 10000 or
more.
The job of enumerator is open
to any person and applications can
be made to the supervisor, Mr..
Brown, at Hutchinson, but appli-
cants will be required to pass an
examination.
Enumerators will receive Sc per
day for time actually employed,
not to exceed 80 days in any dis
trict. Among those of this city and
vicinity who have been appointed
to take enumerations in different
districts are w. L. Bragg, P.L
Lake and w. G. Osborn but there
is room for at least six more.
The subdivisions of the county
are as follows.
