WAS COMPLETE SUCCESS.
Barton County Fair One of the
Best in Many Years.

The Eleventh Annuai Barton
County Fair closed Friday even
ing after one of the most success
full sessions in every way in the
history of the association. Not
a single thing was lacking to make
The big enterprise a go" from the
start TO the finish, and the direc-
tors of the association have just
cause to feel proud over the sue
ceSSful outcome of their efforts to
give Barton county a show in
which every person in the county
could take an interest and pride.
The weather was ideal, the crowds
the largest which have ever visit
ed the city; the free amuSementS
of an exceptional high class; the
exhibits in almost every line were
very fine; the racing was of a
class usually seen only on the big
racing circuits, and outside of the
Topeka fair, the stock show was
the very best held in the state this
year. There was something doing
every minute of the time, and the
result was that every person who
attended the fair went home well
satisfied that they had received
the full worth of their money, and
that the Barton County Fair was
just a little bigger and better in
StitutiOn than they had imagined.
There was a good attendance
on Tuesday, the first day, despite
the fact that there were no races
scheduled and the exhibits were
just being placed, and on WedneS-
day it seemed as though everyone
in the west and central parts of
the state were in attendance. Full
ly twenty thousand people in all
were on the grounds that day, the
crowd being drawn from a big
radius on account of the Hagen
beck-Wallace show which exhibit.
ed there. About twelve thousand
people attended the circus per-
fOrmance, and even while the bis
show was going on, the faiI
grounds were literally packed al
the time, and many hundred peo.
pie remained down town, not even
going out to the grounds on ac.
count of the big crowd. 1t was es.
timated there were SOmethingover
1900 autos in town that day, and
more than that number of teams
and carriages of all kinds, and
during the whole day there was
not single accident of any kind

X. OF C. MEETING AT ELLIN-
WOOD.

Ounuay, OclODer lllll, was Ieu
letter day for the Knights of Col
umbuS of Council No. 1887. On
account of one of the best inilia-
tiOnS of new members into the
organization ever held in Ellin-
wood. The total that subscribed
to the rules and regulations of the
Council was 33 members.
On Sunday morning, at II
o'clock, special High Mass was
celebrated, Rev. Father BaSt OF
the St. Peter & Paul officiating.
This late hour was chosen in Or
der to give visiting members from
The east and west part of The state
a chance to attend. H. Kimpler,
director of the ST. Peter & Paul
and his chorus sang for the Occa-
sion and it was considered a favor
and a treat to all members and
visitors to listen to a grand new
Mass they had practised for the
many visiting Knights and their
ladies from various points, eSLe-
cially Spearville Great Bend, Hois-
ington, Claflin, Hutchinson and
Topeka. The first and second de-
gree was put on by the Great Bend
team and The third by the Kansas
City, KanS., team. After the ini-
tiation was over over 400 sat down
to partake of as fine a banquet as
ever was served at a feStal occa-
sion of this kind. Especial Gre
dit is due to the ladies for their
great efforts in making this part
of the feast a success.
Rev. Father Rice, of ClafIin,
acted as POSTMASTER and every
one enjoyed his talk and ready
wit. Other prominent speakers
made fine and interesting speeches
After y o'clock, p. H., those who
wished to dance enjoyed them
selves until about 4 o'clock a.
m., when some were to catch No.
II Santa Fe west. The Morris
Orchestra furnished music for the
occasion.
Tuesday evening, October 13,
was meeting of the Council anC
election of officers for the en-.
suing year. All the present incum.
bents were reelected. Especially
electing Bro. L. J. DeGarmO fol
a third term of Grand Knight OF
Ellinwood Council. for his untir,
ing efforts towards making the
organization a success. The Oc-
caSionS will long be remembered
by all of the members of st. Joseph
Council No. 1887. -

Prepare Nights Advantage OF The County Clubbing

kind was maintained, which
speaks most highly for the police
force of the city and their assiS-'
tantS.
On Thursday there was another
big crowd, although nothing like
The day previous. Probably. six
thousand people were in the city
that day, many being here from
a distance on account of the big
WOodmen Log Rolling. This part
of the program was a success in
every way, several hundred MEM
berS of the order being present in
addition to the drill teams from
The Larned, Hutchinson and New
ton lodges, and the NJ. w. A. band
of Larned. The Pawnee Rock
band was also in attendance that
day and brought with them. sew
eral hundred people from that city
and vicinity, and as usual the band
made a big hit with the Great Bend
people. Probably no other town
in the state of its size has any
where near as good a band as. has
Pawnee Rock and the people
there are justified in the great
pride they take in the organia-
tion.
On account of the fact that the
Santa Fe train No. 56S was delay
ed at the Rock on account Of en-
gine trouble and did not arrive
here until after II o'clock. the big
NJ. w. A. parade to the fair
grounds was delayed until after
dinner, but it was a noteworthy
event in the lodge for this part Of
the state. Fred Hemker was mar
shal of the parade, and in addi-
ton to the drill teams, the two
bands and the degree team of this
city, there were several hundred
members of the order who formed
in line at the First National Bank
block and marched in a body to
the grounds. The drills put on
by the different teams were most
excellent and elected much ap-
plauSe from the big crowd. The
first prize was taken by the Lar
ned team; the second by Hutch
inSon and the third by Newton.
The latter team was, however, pen
allied five points on account Of
having but twelve menbNyS in
their team in SteadOf sixteen, and
had it not been for this they would
have captured the first prize. On
account of the fact that they have
only recently reorganized, the
Great Bend team did not take part
in any of the competitive drills,
but Chief Forester Frank Russell

MILLER HAMMOND.

One of the prettieSt home we'd
dingS of the season was the mar
b riage of Miss Jessie Grace Ham,
mOnd to Mr.. Roy A. Miller, of
Wichita, which took place at the
home of the brides mother in this
city last Wednesday evening at
8 o'clock, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Woodward of the
M. E. church. The wedding march
was played by Miss Lila Miller,
sister of the groom, and the bridal
couple were attended by Miss Sara
Hammond and Mr.. Ray Brining.
o The bride was beautifully gOwned
in white Crepe de Chene and car
ried a bouquet of white roses.
Mr.. Miller is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Miller, of Nekoma,
Kansas, and is a young man well
known IN this city, having been
employed as bookkeeper in the
Moses MroS. mill office in this
city and later, when the Kansas
Flour Mills Co. was organized he
was transferred to the head office
in Wichita and is now employed
as boOkkeeper with that firm. He
is a young man of exemplary ha-
bits, is most highly regarded by
all who know him, and will make
a thorough success of whatever
he undertakes in the business
world.
His bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mrs. E. A. Hammond and
is one of the handsome and ac-
cOmpliShed young women of the
city, and numbers as her friends
all her acquaintance. She has
been employed as bookkeeper
with the Grower Produce Co. for
some time and is a thoroughly
capable business woman. She is
very popular among a large circle
of acquaintance and especially
among the people of the NJ. E.
church where she has been a most
active and faithful worker. The
young couple left on No. s We'd
neSday evening for Wichita where
they will make their future home.
They were the recipients of a
large number of handsome and
useful presents as tokens of the
love and esteem of their many
friends.
The Democrat joins with the
many friends in wishing for Mr..
and Mrs. Miller a happy and pros
porous welded life.

LOU McCURLEY CAPTURED
Man Whom Tommy White Says
Assisted in the Morgan Muir
der.

Lou McCurley, the man whom
Tommy White, now confined iT
the Reno county jail for the con.
feSSed murder of Lee Morgan and
others, says was his accOmplict
in crime, was last week captured
at AlgOna, Iowa, by the sheriff OI
that place. Sheriff Brown, of thi;
county, left last Sunday evening
for AlgOna, and will bring Nc,
Curly back to Kansas anG he vii
probably be lodged in the Reno
county jail until the time for his
trial at the November term of the
district court. When McCurly
disappeared from Hutchinson 6
few days after the murder il was
thought that he would probably
drift back to northern Iowa
where he had Shucked corn fol
several falls, and the sheriff oil
that place, hearing of the crime
and knowing that McCurly was
wanted, was on the lookout fol
him and succeeded in making the
capture last week.
When arrested McCurly die
not deny his identity and acknow.
ledged thai he had been in Great
Bend at the time the murder was
committed, but declared his in.
nOcence of the crime and will
fight for his freedom in the courts
And it is thought by many thai
there is a possibility that he was
not the accOmplice of White in
the crime. The alleged confession
of White is not as straight as il
should be in many particulars
and it is quite possible that he
may be laying a part of the crime
on McCurley in order to shield
someone else, and this is the opin.
ion that has been held by many
The officers claim that they have
corrOborative evidence in addition
to the confession of White, which
will convict both him and McCur.
ly, but just what this evidence is
they are not making it public. II
is possible that he assisted White
in the triple murder and he may
have been the inStigator of the
crime, but it is going to take g
whole lot more evidence than the
confession of White TO convince
the public of this fact. The fac
that White claims to have rented
one OF the guns at the BOndurant
store when Mr.. BOndurant and al
! of the clerks have made public af
fidavit that such is not the case
and they would have no reason
on earth for denying the matter
and the fact that other points o.
his confession are not altogether
straight, are enough to convince
the public that still more ligh
may be brought to bear on thC
subject.

CELEBRATE GERMAN DAY

A number from Great Bend and
vicinity were in Ellinwood We'd
neSday afternoon to assist in the
celebration of the German Day,
October 14th, the date on which
the first German colony landed in
America. The meeting was held
in the basement of the X. of C..
Opera House and was quite large
ly attended by the people of that
section and this and adjoining
counties. Excellent talks were
made by Bernard Krampe. Joe
Strothman, Nick Klepper, Henry
Gerlof, Joe Walters and a num-
ber of others and the occasion was
one heartily enjoyed by all pres
ent.
Clark CoSS, who recently un-
derwent a most serious operation
at the St. Rose hospital and who
for a time was in a very critical
condition, is now able to be up and
around a part of the time and was
down town yesterday for the first
time in several weeks. He is still
very weak and will be unable ia
do any work for long time yet

DEDICATION OF
OLMITZ CHURCH.
Beautiful Home of Worship For.
mally Dedicated Tuesday.

One of the most notable gath
eringS of the kind ever assembled
in this part of the state was that
which took place at Olmitz on
Tuesday of this week when the
beautiful new St. AIMS church
was formally dedicated in the
presence of several hundred
guests from this and adjoining
counties and many notable men of
the church from all over the state.
The parish at Olmitz was organ
lied in 1886 with Father Emmer-
ich, now in charge of the Ellin-
wood parish, as resident priest.
AT that time there were but few
families in the parish, but owing
to the faithful labOrS of Father
Emmerich and other priests who
have been in charge since that
time, the parish has now grown
to be one of the largest and strong
est in the state, and for this great
success of the church too much
credit can not be given to Father
Huna, who, for the past fourteen
years has faithfully labOred for
the growth and the spiritual up
building of the parish. In 1899
the home of worship which was
destroyed by fire on January %,
1918, was built. The loss of their
church building was indeed a sad
one TO the Catholic people of the
Olmitz community, and they i'm
mediately set about making ar
rangementS for the building of a
better and larger edifice, and the
beautiful monument which was
dedicated to the cause of the Mas
ter on Tuesday of this week was
the result of their untiring laborS.
The new building was started on
July 9Th, 1913 and completed but
a few days before its dedication
and is one of the largest and finest
church edificeS OIL any creed in
The state. 1t is built of brick,
trimmed with white stone. It's di
menSiOnS are 120x50 feet, and top
o. the Spire is 140 feet from the
ground, and is a handsome and
stately edifice of which not only
The people of the parish, but Of the
whole county can well be proud.
The interior decorations are ex
tremely beautiful, the aIiarS be-
ing constructed principally of the
finest imported marble, and the
beautiful carvings shows the worl.
of the most expert craftsmen, and
are set off with beautiful gold and
silver ornamentatiOn. The Statu-
ary is of the finest obtainable, and
the entire interior presents an
appearance beautiful in the ex-
treme.
The services of dedication were
held at 10 o'clock with Right Rev.
Bishop HennesSy, of Wichita, in
charge. Solemn High Mass was
celebrated with Bishop HenneSSy
being assisted by the following
priests:
