 TODAY
Especial from United Press.)

London, June 21.-The British Peerage claimed another trans-Atlan- tic victory today in the marriage of Miss Mildred Ridgeley Carter, daugh- ter of John Ridge1ey Carter, former first secretary to the American Elm bassy at London, to Archibald Charles Montague Brabazon, Viscount Achi- son, and heir to the Earldom of Cos ford
 The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Prebendary Anderson in St. Georges Church, Hanover Square, London's most fashionable place of worship and but for the death of King Edward 1t would have been one of the most brilliant functions of the season. Even court mourning, how ever, did not prevent one of the most fashionable audiences ever gathered in London from witnessing the cere- mony.
 Lord Achison comes of an old Irish family and his father owns huge tracts of land in Ireland and else where. The Viscount was formerly one of the crack guards regiment and served in the South African war, be- ing wounded at Modder river. He is B years old.

Judge Not too Hastily

If, occasionally, you see some
thing in this paper that you do not
desire to read, do as you do when
you sit down to friends
table and see something that you
don't want to eat-just pass it up
without condemning the hands
that prepared it. The Index is
being served to 1000 families every
week and it is not strange that all
do not approve what it contains,
yet it is a significant fact that
those things that bring forth the
loudest criticism are the things
that also bring the greatest praise.
An example of this kind occurred
last week, and the criticism and the
praise came from men in the same
church, neither having advantage
of the other in morality and good
citizenship. 1t is our experience
that there is altogether too much
false modesty in this old world.
In many cases the things which
are too often referred to as crank"
are the greatest things that con-
tribute to the public good. It is
also true that many people will
regard things which appear in dai-
ly papers as perfectly proper but
when the same things appear in a
weekly paper in a small town
their sensitive nature becomes
ruff1ed and irritated. Don't deal
too harshly with the small news
paper. The very things which you
may regard as bordering on vul-
garity may in fact result in untold
salutary effects, both moral and
sanitary.

Candidate for Representative

The democrats of Kiowa, aided
by the party members in many 9TH
er townships, have persuaded ]. N.
Herr of that city to become a can.
didate for the Democratic nomina
tion for representative. The mat.
ter had been urged upon Mr.. Herr
for over a month but he did not
give his consent until Saturday OF
last week.
Mr.. Herr is the present mayor Of
kiowa and has held that official
position over three years. He is
also president and manager of The
H. G. Waltner Mercantile Com
pany of that city. He was first
employed in the store about twelve
years ago as clerk and gradually
worked his way up to his present
position.
On account of the relationship
that exists between him and the
writer hereof, we desire to guard
against ostentation, but we believe
that we are wholly justified in
saying that Mr.. Herr is man of
undoubted integrity, and combines
with it more than ordinary abili-
ty. If nominated and elected,
the people of Barber county may
be assured that he will reflect cred
it on his constituency and will be
found on the right side of every
question.

A Strong Address

The Union Temperance meeting
last Sunday evening at the M. E.
church WIS decided success. Rev.
H. T. Davis, Field Secretary of
the State Temperance Union, was
the speaker on this occasion, and
he certainly delivered fine addres;
one to be long remembered by the
large congregation that heardit.
Judging from the speakers re-
marks, a great change has come
over Kansas in the last eight years.
This we also know from observa-
tion. The State Temperance Un.
ION is doing a great work for our
state and for the world.
Splendid music was rendered by
a selected choir assisted by the
orchestra.
The church was filled to over
flowing with a very attentive au-
dience. We believe much good
will result from this meeting.

$4,000 Due Kansas From Estates

There is $4,000 due the state
from estates of persons who have
died during the past year. This
money is due under the tax inheri-
tance law of the last Legislature
and covers 1000 separate estates.
The money has not all been paid
in to the state treasurer, but the
amounts have been certified out
and will be paid when the estates
are settled up. All estates are re-
ported to the State Tax Commis-

whether or not they are taxable
under the law and if so what the
amount of the tax is.

W.B. Clarkson for Register of Deeds

W.B.Clarkson of Kiowa will ask
the Democrats of Barber co unity for
the nomination for register of deeds
at the primary in August. Mr..
Clarkson was the Democratic can
didate for clerk of the district
court two years ago and was de-
feated by R. S. Crane by the mar
row margin of six votes, the re-
publican national and state ticket
carrying the county at the same
election by a plurality of 2 so votes:
Mr.. Clarkson enters the cam
paign this year at the urgent re-
quest of people of all parties
in different parts of the county who
formed his acquaintance and friend
ship two years ago. He is thor
oughly competent, an excellent
campaigneI and a courteous, oblig.
ing gentleman.
For the past year he has been
manager of the Hardwick hotel al
Kiowa and the people of this city
who have had occasion to be his
guests are under many obligations
to him for the uniform courtesies
enjoyed.

Claud Catlin Released

Claud Catlin was released from
Jail last Friday. His mother and
brother, Glenn Catlin, who resides
in Kingman county, and his brother,
Bert Catlin, who resides north of
this city, came to the rescue, secur-
ed the parties to whom he was in
debted and paid all costs, the
complainants withdrew all charges
and the case was dismissed.
AS stated in previous numbers
of this paper, Mr.. Catlin became
seriously involved financially and
mortgaged the same property more
than once to secure different loans.
1t is also said that he mortgaged
property owned by other parties,
and as climax to it all, he gave
worthless check on the Nashville
State Bank by the means of which
he lifted note for $500 held by
the Peoples State Bank of this city,
and cancelled a mortgage.
His obligations aggregated over
$4,000 with less than $500 worth
of property to cover them.
He certainly owes debt of graft :
tude to his faithful, loving mother
and his brothers for what they have
done for him and it should serve
to make him very careful in his
transactions in the future. If it
does this, it will be worth all the
trouble it has cost him.

"Millionaire" Returns Home

Ex-senator Chester |. Long.
who has been crowned million.
aire' by the metropolitan papers,
returned home on Friday.
When it was noised around
town that the ex- senator was com.
ing home, the Commercial Club
engaged forty automobiles and a
procession was lined up, to and
from the depot, all in antici-
patton of greeting the first real
millionaire resident of Barber
county, but the enthusiasm of the
reception committee was frost bit
ten early in the game when Mr..
Long modestly informed them
that the millionaire" proposition
had not developed farther than the
newspaper stage. After the ex-
citement had subsidized, an Index
representative approached Mr..
Long and put the question at hi m
pointedly and he quoted a reply
made by Mark Twain several
years ago, as fitting his case exact.
ly. Someone met the famous
author unexpectedly and exclaim.
ed, "Why Mr.. Clemens, it was re-
ported that you was dead" "The
report has been grossly exaggerat-
ed,"' replied Twain.
Mr.. Long admitted that he is
an attorney for McMurray in the
Indian lands affairs and made
no effort to conceal the fact that
he expects good fee.
During his stop in Wichita, on
his return, the Eagle got the follow
ing interview out of him:
81 am returning from St. Paul,
where l have been arguing Kansas
bank guaranty, cases which were
submitted to the United States
court of appeals in that city, Tues.
day.
81 am busy and happy; practic.
ing law and attending to business;
watching as an interested spectator
the political game but net taking
part in it. l think that the Re-
publicans ought to nominate Re-
publican candidate for governor.
1t looked for a while like there
would be no Republican candi.
date this fall. However, Thomas
E. Wagstaff, of independence,
announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination.
eff he is nominated, the Republi.
cans will have the opportunity of
supporting republican candidate
at the general election this fall.
He will make an excellent candi-
date and good governor, aud
shall support him for the nomina-
ton.
"There is very serious division,
| regret to say, in congress in the
party. We no longer have a Re-
publican house of representatives,
except in name. 1t is controlled
by Democrats and insurgents.
Whether the Republicans control
the senate, will be determined next
week.
"The measures declared for in
the national Republican platform
and recommended by Presi-
dent Taft, are in imminent danger
of defeat, owing to the combina-
tion between Democrats and in
surgents in congress. l hope that
a sufficient number of Republi-
cans in each house, however, will
in the end act favorabIy on the
recommendations and assist Mr..
Taft in making them into law"
Mr.. Long declined to discuss his
million dollar case in Oklahoma,
saying that he had not yet read
the press reports concerning the
cases. He admitted, however,
that he had taken up these mat
tiers with the authorities at Wash
ington, and that he had been re-
tanned as attorney in the actions.
