Kiowa County Times from Greensburg, Kansas • 2

TRIES. JUST RUMOUR EYE BOM THIS LIST. Wichita, not for the people's sake and barring the effect 6f a law bearing upon such trust. The. people's interests arc abandoned and the law maker inclined to stand by public interest, is denounced as a boodler.

Such a policy will shortly damn the paper that follows it. BE TIME ffiLL SPENT. IT WILL ILS nran mh of mik ccur. Published Every rrldar. At Kansas Subscription, $1.50 a year, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1889.

A petition is in circulation through out the state asking the legislators to so amend the law in regard to civil procedure as to do away with the present complicated practice of presenting special interrogatives. The Change. Our readers will no doubt notice Many of our citizens went out to assist in fighting the fire and did not return until late in the evening. George Bidwell has very sore eyes from his efforts and many were completely worn out while at work. The loss is estimated at ten thousand dollars.

The following are some of the losses: James Kountz, stable, all out buildings, hay, fodder, corn, straw, plows, narrows, cultivators, wagon beds, etc. Loss about $700. A. S. Pay don lost all of his feed of every description, and a number of chickens.

W. H. Wagner, seven tons of hay and all his straw. H. S.

Hamm lost a heifer, his stable, and all his feed. W. S. Pratt, ten tons of hay. Horse Head Ranch sustained no other loss than the burning of all their range.

Reports from Comanche county just received say that the fire was not stopped till it reached the Cimarron river and that the total loss in that county will exceed $20,000.

That question can be answered in a very few words. The paper was too large and expensive for the amount of business. Our aim is always to cut the garment according to the amount of cloth we have, hence the change. man or firm who will run a business at a loss is not only doing himself an injustice but the community While the, United States is not in position to fight any power on earth above a fifth class one. as-would appear from our lack of coast defenses, meager army and poor navyy.

still the firmness shown by this government always commands the respect of other powers, and is clearly shown in the recent back-down of Germany over the Samoan iffair. Secretary Bayard deserves the highest praise for the firmness and states-. manship he has shown in the matter, and as it now appears the whole affair will be settled amicably. However, this should be a warning to this goverment, and in time of peace prepare for war. Si STOCK And See H.

Sparling (our trustee) had been doctoring his well again, but we think he gave it a final dose, Tuesday Feb. 5th when he poured into it several loads of coarse gravel. Mrs. Cottle and Mrs. Rosenberger have rallied from their sickness, and are moving among their circle of friends once more.

Beamen is sick at present. The mother of our estimable friends, Henry and Adolph' Kruse, died at the residence of Henry Kruse Monday night. Dropsy was the affliction. Mr. Edson Hill's house caught fire in the roof last Monday, but the fire was extinguished, after having made considerable progress.

The farmers are talking of putting out a large acreage of crops this coming season. "We hear Theodore Ice talking of planting 300 acres of corn. The people are coming to believe that barley is a good crop for this country. Mr. Cronic says he will sow 100 bushels, if he can get the seed.

Last Saturday night, after literary broke up, while Mr. Cronic and family were getting in their carriage, the lines became entangled, causing the team to run the carriage backwards, knocking Mr; Cronic down, and it (might have terminated into a serious accident, only for the prompt action of some bystanders. Last Monday night about twenty- five of the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hill met at their (Hill's) residence and gave them a surprise supper, that being the 38th I birthday of Mrs.

Hill. Those pres ent were John York and family, Ed son Hill and wife, E. J. Abbett and family, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs.

The public dance here on Thursday was well attended and all in attendance enjoyed themselves until an early hour in the morning. A party whose name we did not learn that used a knife rather freely on the night of the dance has plenty of time to repent of his evil deeds while nursing a sore head. Curtis Nevling, Geo. Bidwell and O.

P. Grimes went to Coldwater on Friday, last and report having a good time and the village far from being dead. It is rumored that the W. W. R.

R. will discontinue their office at this place in the near future. John Shultz, section boss on the W. W. R.

R. was changed to Kingman, where he and family moved on Friday last. Base ball was revived here to-day by a game between the Mystics and Phantoms, which resulted in favor of the Mystics by a score of 18 to 13. The Phantoms battery being weak caused the above result. C.

Yards and yards of petitions for and against the cojutts have been sent to their representative at To-pekar An attempt to delay the payment fan honest debt by blocading of a with an overplus of business, ajld denying adequate releif to who a iv compelled to go to Cfljkirt to collect what is due them, is verjt much like repudiation, and will never help the credit of a people attempting such a thing. For the credit of Kansas it is a good thin that the democrats have one man in the state senate that has the moral courage to stand up against the large republican majority; and also that the republican senators have enough pride in the state they represent too prevent such an outrage being perpetrated in the name of the people, as was the resolution adopted by the partisan house, charging the killing of J. M.

Clayton, of Arkansas, to the Dem "ocrats. Had 1 this resolution not been killed in the Senate, and had gone forth world as the utterance of the people of Kansas, it would have been a lasting stigma on the fair name of this state. "Senator Carroll deserves the thanks of every fair minded citizen, for his vigorous fight against this measure. Will Fund Its Outstanding Indebtedness. This county has issued about $35-000 worth of warrants which it is unable to pay, and the Commissioners have been for several months discus sing the advisability of issuing bonds the county to pay them.

Some time ago they received a letter from the Bank of "Warsaw, "Warsaw N. offering them dollar for dollar for these bonds, providing the county would include in these bonds $44-000 of the C. K. N. railroad bonds, which that bank now holds, thus making the bonds call for $97,000 instead of $35,000 and $44,000 respectively, the eounty taking up the C.

K. N. bonds to the amount of and having them cancelled. The communication read something like the following "If your county will include the $44,000 of the C. K.

N. railroad bonds, which this bank now holds, and the Interest which has accrued thereon up to the time the new funding bonds commence (or yon pay the interest in cash) we will pay your county par for $30,000 in funding bondsf, and will deposit said $30,000 in some Topeka bank and arrange for the immediate payment of the money as soon as funding bonds are registered by the State Auditor." After reading the above, the Commissioners concluded to accept the offer, and made an order that the Chairman of the board should issue said bonds and have them register --rnislsa step in the right direction, ant our county's credit will be nfach. srengthened in consequence "Jor Board of Commissioners We tce praised for the action they hkvuken in this matter. frna few hours spent at the capi- delegate from Wichita's boat of trade to protest against the pessag of the "dressed meat bill JL Yl101? a half dozen times that the meat bill was being urged onvNv soma of the mif Ptartina if eb 189.
