The Missouri Girl March 3rd

In the last dozon years the "Mis-
souri, Girl has been seen in this
city several times and the visit
again this season which is announc-
ed for Thursday, March 3rd, will
be hailed with delight by the num-
erous theater goers who have so
long contended that this attra ction
is the greatest of all comedies and
that eke"and"Daisy" are the fun
niest of all stage chara cters. The
success of this attraction has stim-
ulated other managers to offer pro-
ductions of similar nature, but
none has ever yet succeeded in pro-
ducing an imitation that will sat-
isfy the theater-goers who have
seen the original show.
The company this season is said
to be even stronger than when the
play was last seen here, and the
unusual demand for seats SO far in
advance augurs we'll for capacity
business. The prices are in accord
ance with the time and so reason
able that everyone can afford a
brief holiday with ''Zeke" and
"Daisy." The vaudeville features
this season are especially strong,
and the whole production is in
keeping up with the high standard
of excellence that characterizes
Fred Raymond's attractions.

Mrs. A. M. Houchin Very Sick

Mrs. A. M. Houchin became crit
ically i'll with acute stomach troub-
lie on Thursday night of last week
and for several days her condition
was very critical and the deepest
anxiety was felt by her husband
physicians and friends. The troub-
lie began to yield to treatment the
latter part of the week and yester-
days report.was that she is very
much better and her recovery seems
assured. This is most welcome
news to the friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Houchin and we trust that moth
ing will develop to bring about an
unfavorable change.
Drs. Donovan and Gilbert are
attending Mrs. Houchin.

beloved brother. Robert s. English adieu to
earth. and in this separation his brethren feel
keenly the loss they have sustained. The Or
der has not only lost faithful. earnest. up

lost a kind and devoted husband and father,
and the community an exemplary citizen.
To the near and dear ones of his household
we tender Workman's true and sincere fra

loved one gone, but gone to better and
brighter land where sin nor sorrow nor death

pass away. How important. therefore, that
we should improve the time vouchsafed unto
us by unselfish acts and kindly deeds to one

ton. They may not be repaid here. but they
will be in the land beyond the river"

Died of Spinal Meningitis

Lois, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. F. Randolph, died at
4 o'clock yesterday morning, from
spinal meningitis. The attack
came on Saturday and was pro-
nounced fatal by the attending
physician, DR.. Gilbert, within a
short time after the child took sick.
The funeral will be held at the
Christian church at 10 o'clock A.
M. today. Elder S. E. Hendrick-
son of Sharon will conduct the SER
vices.
Little Lois was three and one
half years old. She was an ex-
ceptionally sweet, ,afectionate child
and her sudden death weighs heav-
lily on the hearts of the parents.
Mr. Rudolph and family came to
this city from Ohio about a year
ago, and have already made many
friends in our city and vicinity,
who feel deeply for them in their
sore af1iction.

Knights of Pythias Celebration

Delphia Lodge, K. of P, cele-
brated the Anniversary of the or.
der at the Castle Hall on Satur-
day night, February 10Th. The at
tendance was large and the mem.
bers had splendid time. Ona
Smith was initiated into the mys-
teries to which the outside world
is not entitled and there was an
abundance of special entertain
ment that only brave Knights are
entitled to enjoy.
Following the floor work, short
addresses were made by several of
the members and a number of visit
ing Knights, and last but not least,
the Pythian Sisters served an ex-
cellent banquet in the Masonic
Hall across the aisle from the Py-
THAN Hall.
The out Of town visiting mem
bers who attended were CIV. Will
son, w. B. Downtain, w. S. Black,
and A. R. Price of Kiowa; M. A.

bers were present but they were
members of Delphia Lodge.
There was nothing slow about
the entertainmeut-even the can
didate was glad he was there.
Several reinstatements were re-
ceived and some applications are
on the way, which makes it prob
able that the Lodge will be busy
for some time.

The Floyds Tonight

FLOYD, the magician, who is
to give the next entertainment on
the lecture course,is without doubt
the most skillful exponent of pure
slight-o hand that has ever ap-
peared upon the Lyceum platform.
He has followed this line of work
for over twenty years. He was the
pioneer and still maintains the
lead. He has invented, designed
and presented more brilliant magi-
cal experiments than any magi-
clan now living. He is constantly
at work on some new and wonder
full mystery, and so startling are
some of his effects and so nearly
perfect his art that he has but to
command the most un- heard of
things to happen and they tran
spire. He will be ably assisted
by Mohala, the mind. reader, and
a really talented musician. Opera

They "Hoofed it" to Town

On Tuesday of last week the old
scrap.iron on wheels which is sup
posed to pull the mixed train be-
tween Attica and Belvidere, "went
dead" at Pixley at the hour of 10
p. m, whereas it is due in Medicine
Lodge at AIS p. m. But that was
not the only bad feature. There
were several passengers on board
and they had to ''hoof it" to town,
a distance of FIVE miles, in the dead
hours of night. For several months
this plug has been very much on
the bum. 1t is no respecter of
schedules and comes and goes when
the spirit moves it but there is no
assurance that it will keep moving.
Our passenger train is fairly re-
spectacle but the freight, or rather
the mixed service, is abominable.
And the fact that there is no Sum
day service of any kind on either
branch makes it more abominable.

The Peckham-Lane Suit Revived

The Peckham-Lane Suit Revived
A new suit was filed in the dis.
trict court last Wednesday in the
Peckham-Lane Gerlane townsite
controversy. Ed L. Peckham OF
Enid, Oklahoma, sued M. ]. Lane
and wife of Kiowa, about the time
the u. E. g. G. railroad was built
through this county, to compel
them to deed him eighty acres OF
land, which is now the townsite OF
Gerlane, under an alleged contract
in return for locating the town
there. Mr.. Lane and wife resisted
the suit on different grounds and
won in both the district and the
supreme court, the latter court hav.
ing rendered a decision in January
of this year. Mr.. Peckhamin nov
revives the same suit but on differ.
ent grounds, hoping to meet the

opinion handed down.

Tax Warrants are out

Sheriff Mathews has quite
large number of tax warrants re.
Gently turned over to him by Coun-
ty Treasurer Groendycke, against
parties who have failed to pay their
personal taxes, and unless the par.
ties make settlement soon he will
be obliged to make a levy on any
property in the possession of the
parties against whom the tax war
rant is issued, for the satisfaction of
taxes. This will create additional
costs which in some cases will
amount to more than the taxes. If
you have not attended to this mat
ter, do not delay any longer.

Found the JeweIry-Almost

One day last week while fishing
IN Elm Creek Dan Snyder was the
most excited man in the country.
His hook became fastened to some
thing heavy and as he slowly pull
led the burden to the shore, saw a
sack coming to the surface. He saw
visions OF the stolen jewelry for
which the minions of the law have
been searching ever since the bur-
glary OF the Gem Drug Store.
The nearer the sack came to shore,
the more certain the angler became
that it contained the stolen valu.
ables and when it was finally land
ed all doubt was removed. He
was so certain that he had found
the jewelry that he started to noti-
fly the sheriff without even opening
the sack; then another thought fit
ted through his already fevered
brain: what if his finding the stolen
goods should direct suspicion on
him, what would he do if this dis.
covery were to brand him as a
thief! Then he began to think
should he throw the sack back into
the water and say nothing about it
or should he be a truthful Percy
and tell the whole truth and fight
it out. Luckily it dawned on him
that it might be we'll to open the
sack and take an inventory before
borrowing more trouble, and imag-
inc his surprise when he saw instead
of the jewelry, litter of drowned
pups. A great relief spread over
his entire being but the joke was
so good that he couldn't keep il
and he is still shaking hands with
himself because it wasn't the Jew.

His Illness Fatal

NOOcIl -. EnSllSn, whose lite
was slowly ebbing away when The
Index was printed last week, died
at 1:3o P. M, on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 10th. He took sick with
pneumonia week previous to his
death and after the first three DAYS
OF his sickness his condition became
extremely critical, and while the
news of his death brought great
sorrow to his friends it did not
come as surprise.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church on Friday at II
o'clock a. m., conducted by Rev.
F. w. Imboden, and the remains
inferred in Highland Cemetery.

V. c. Sleeper was appointed
deputy assessor of Medicine Lodge

cial position, concluded that he
could not give sufficient time to it
to justify his acceptance. He will

himself. This city and township
cover more territory and contain
more people than any township in
the county and it is no small task
to assess it.
Fred Raymond has always kept
his companies up to standard and
that is probably the reason for his
remarkable success with this ster-
ling comedy. Year after year the
companies visit the various cities,
fortunate enough to be on their
routes and invariably the compan-
les are equal to those of previous
years, and from time to time inn
provements are being made that
strengthen the organization won
derfully. This season the vaude-
vile portion of the show has re.
ceived Mr.. Raymond's careful at.
tention and the country birthday
party offers an opportunity for
specialties that has been taken ad-
vantage of. Five first. class vaud.
eville numbers add great strength
to the performance. He will pre-.

Index reverses itself this week on
the date of St. Patrick's day. Last
week it was published as "Febru-

so general, not only among the
Irish, but among all nationalities,
that we have decided to allow the
old date of March II to stand. It
might be in order to 60 on and elab-
crate at length in an attempt to
explain what influence was brought
to bear to cause us to hasten the
eventful day one month but that
would only add to the difficulty
and probably embarrass innocent
parties and, like real, self sacri-
fcing hero, we have assumed the
burden and are bearing the cruel
jeers of our tormentors. To good
