your window up. Do this and you will
seldom take cold. When you do take
cold take Chamberlain Cough Rem

possible. Obtainable everywhere.

SUED FOR sLANDER?

A summons was recently issued
out of the district clerk office at
Santa Fe, and directed to Sam
Jones and Earl Hirn, phominent
farmer-ranchmen of this county
stating that they had been sued for
alleged slander by one Lon Calder
myer of Haskill county and he asks
for $4,000 to salve the bruises
caused from the alleged SANDER.
Some time last year, it appears
that one Caldermyer had been arrest
ed for stealing cattle upon complaint
of Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Him was also
interested in the arrest. When the
trial came on last April, the case
against Mr.. Caldermyer failed in the
district court. Since that time it
seems Mr.. Caldermyer has concluded
to strike back, feeling little peeved
over the arrest and accusation by
such prominent men.
Sam Jones has been in the county
for the last 33 years and this is the
first time that he has been sued and
has never gone into court as plain
tiff in suit. He is one of the farm
ers who has seen the county through
its history Of the last thirty-three
years. The old homestead, three
miles east of old Springfield town.
site, where he is now located is the
same that he settled on thirty-three
years ago. He saw Springfield in all
its glory, and then the decline and
finally the demise; he has seen the
day when he was offered $500 for
his REIMBURSEMENT, and then the
days when he could not have given
the place away; saw the day when he
bought quarter section of land for
$4,000 and today one could hardly
buy over an acre for the money.
Mr.. Hirn has lived in the county
for many years and his history is
known by every old timer in the
county. Macy & Davis and H. A.
Gaskill are attorneys for the defen-
dants in the case.
The news that Messrs. Jones and
Hirn have been sued for SANDER at
this time will sound much as joke
to those who have known the gentle
men for so many years.

BUCKING HORESE HAVE
STRANGE AFFILIATIONS

Cliff King and Sam Olford, of
Garden City, who will give wild
west show in the Fair grounds, have
about twenty horses here, and among
them are some of the buckingest,
fastest jumpers in the world. The
gentlemen have a standing offer of
$500 to any one who will ride one
or more of the horses to be selected
by the owners, and do the stunt un-
der contest rules. We would infer
from the offer that there were some
pretty bad actors among the bunch
of twenty horses on the grounds.
And here is more evidence if names
means anything. Here are a few
names of the horses: Hesitation, Tai
cum Powder, Casey Jones, Carry Ma
ton, Dutch Oven, Black Bird, Pop
corn, Widow Maker, Dodger, and
Gink. There are more of them NAM
ed according to disposition, but these
are sufficient for one days thriller.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Afford have
been making a number of fairs, being
at Lakin, Garden City and Tucum-
carl, and they say that at least ten
men at each town discovered that the
horses were pretty particular about
who rode them.

NOVEL WINDOW DISPLAY
AT FRANK BOLES STORE

Eldon Dudley Of the Boles Dry
Goods Store has arranged window
display that takes one back to the
olden days when the cattlemen was
the sole occupants of the land.
The display consistes of cowboy
outfits, from the bright colored silk
handkerchief to the high top boots.
There are the colored corduroy shirts
and other articles of apparel peculiar
to the men who spend the most of
their lives in the saddle. Embellish-
ing the display is saddle and bride
from the Evans Harness Shop.
"Do you keep these articles in
stock" asked Representative for the
Daily Democrat" "Sure" replied Mr..
Dudley, 1--WE do good business and
keep full stock"
Which makes us think that just a
trifle further on the cowboy of yes
terdpty is the cowboy of today, and
the buffalo prairies are dotted with
cattle instead of waving fields Of
grain as they are here.

WILSON NOTE sTIRs EN-.

Amsterdam, Sept. 4.-According
to advices received here from Brem-
en-, President Wilson's reply to Pope
Benedicts peace proposal was the
occasion of a demonstration on the
Bourse today. After a speech by
Herr Babrous, president of the
Chamber of Commerce the following
presolution was sent to the Emepror:
Bremen merchants raise an in
dignant protest against President
Wilson's hypocritical reply to the
Pope in which he processes to COM
bat the German Government in or
der to drive the American people
with whom Germany never had a
quarrel, into war which they re-
ject.
1t is an impudent and brazen at
tempt to sow dissention between the
Government and the people and into
the German nation while by British
arbitrariness our non-combatants,
children and women are cut off from
all outside supplies in order to- ex-
haust the nation by hunger.
/ "This attempt can only fill with in
dignation and contempt German mer-
chants who have had the opportunity
in foreign lands to compare Ger
man with foreign conditions. In this
hour Bremen merchants pledge
themselves to unalterable allegiance
to Your Majesty, as the Empires
guardian, bearer of the Imperial
Crown, re-won after centuries of
long struggles by the United German
people in 1872. They again declare
their unalterable confidence and be-
lief in a victorious outcome of this
righteous war of defense"
In his speech President Fabrius
said no other enemy utterance had
evolved such wrath in every German
heart as President Wilson'S note in
which the most sacred rights of the
German nation were assailed.
A demonstration also was held on
the Hamburg Bourse, where resolu-
tions similar to those adopted in
Bremen were passed.

Somebody.

By Carleton Everett Knox.
When | was discouraged and blue,
Somebody once came into my life,
Their word of good cheer,
Dispelled every fear,
While the Tilt of song stanched the
hot, bitter tear,
Somebody once bid me but try once
more
When the whole world it seemer was
untrue.
Tho I'd given my best,
With vigor and zest,
Heartsick, and faith gone, osught
fort and rest,
And that somebody, dear, was you.
Somebody once, when business was
bad,
Smiled, when all else seemed askew
They said, "just forget,
Don't worry nor fret,
Life's battle you'll win if it's but
fairly met"
And that somebody, dear, was you.

AT HOME FROM A
SUMMERS OUTING.

Mrs. w. H. Vickers, whohas been
spending the summer on the Paci-
fic coast, has just returned home.
Says she loves the land of the blue
waters but is glad to be "back in
Kansas" Much of her time was
spent in San Diego, where her daugh-
ter, Miss Irene was finishing some
school work. After visiting Mrs.
Bess Morris, nee Hockett, at Long
Beach, Mrs. Vickers visited an old
school chum, Mrs. Chas. Wier of Los
Angeles, whom she had not seen for
thirty years, but had kept in touch
with all the time. Friendship of such
long standing is rare, particularly
when living apart, during this period
when the world has such a pace.
Miss Irene accompanied her mother
as far as Ogden and from there went
to Helena where she will teach in the
city schools the coming school term.
Mrs. Vickers says she met Mrs. Mary
E. Todd, fromer superintendent of
public instruction and for a long
time primary teacher in the Liberal
schools. Mrs. Todd is teaching prim-
ary hand work in the state school,
and that she instructs Mrs. Vickers
to give all her old frineds best wishes
and that she loves them all.

HOW TO REACH THE
SOLDIER BOYS IN CAMP.

The telegraph tells how to reach
the soldier boys at Camp Funston:
Conscripted men who are to arrive
at Camp Funston during the month of
September and the earlier part of
October are to be grouped according
to their states and counties, accord
ing to statement made by Major
General Leonard A. Wood, camp
commandant, in regard the to ad-
dressing of letters to the men.
The proper way to address mail to
one of the conscripted men at the
cantonment, according to Major Gen.
eral Wood, is to write the name of
the state and county from which the
man came upon the envelope in ad-
dition to the Camp Funston address.
For example if the mail was sent
to John Smith, who came to the can
tonment from Geneva, Fillmore coun-
ty, Nebraska, it should be addressed:
Mr.. John Smith, Fillmore County,
Nebraska, Camp Fusion, Kansas.
"The Camp Funston postoffice,"
Major General Wood said, "will be
able to make the delivery of all mail
if it has the information as to the
county and state from which the
man came. All organizations will be
made up of men in units, grouped ac-
cording to their places of residence.
Later on, of course, the mans people
back home will know the number Of
his regiment and may address his
mail accordingly. But at first the
county and state method will insure
prompt delivery.
"Men at the Camp Funston canton
ment will be from Kansas, Missouri,
Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Neb-
raska and South Dakota.
