'What was the condition of the health

It appears that the masonic grand
lodge, at Junction City, last week, re
voked the charter of Delta Lodge, No.
77, of Medicine Lodge, on account of
the "immorality and intemperance"
that had crept into the lodge member
ship. The revocation was at the request
of every oQicer of the lodge, except one.
It is understood that a new lodge will
be organized soon. This revocation in
no way affects the Royal Arch chapter
or the Eastern Star lodge at this place.
Lewis P. Hanson, a man w ho has been
loafing around town for some time with
no visible means of support, is under
indictment by the grand jury, charged
with participating in the robbery of the
store of Davis & Davis. The complaint
was made by Geo. W. Robinson who
was first charged w ith the offense. He
claims that Hanson went in the window
and handed out the goods. Uoth men
are in jail and will likely be tried at this
term of court.
There was a surprise party last Fri
day night, at the residence of Mr. P.
A. Simmons. The family had been
beguiled away from home, and about
eight o'clock from fifty to seventy-five
friends marciid in, took possession of
the premises, turned dwn the lights,
and quietly awaited for the return of
the family. When they came the fun
commenced, and not a moment was
lost from that time till twelve o'clock.
There were staid old business men pres
ent, who seemed to have forgot ton their

the house was too much crowded to al

and succeeded in rieplrtflf HP the fun for

The jury In the damage suit of Kate
Craven, administratrix of the estate of
Thos. Craven against the city of New
Kiowa, on Saturday returned a verdict
for plaintiff in the sum of $1,000. This
was the case that originated through
the death of Craven eight days after he
had been confined over night in the
calaboose of that town. He had been
drunk for several weeks and was arrest
ed for disorderly conduct. The cala
boose was in a filthy and unclean con
dition and besides Craven two other
drunken men were locked up in the
same room, and by morning they had
made quite a mess of the room. Craven
was taken sick after his release and in
eight days died of erysipelas. The win
dow sued for ?1(),0U0 damages and the
jury gave her a verdict for $1,000.
Denton & Jones, of this city, and Mc-
Kean & Wiley of Kiowa, represented
the plaintiff while Sample & Long, of
this city and R. Robinson, of Kiowa.
appeared for the city. The case w 111 be
appealed it is understood.
Senator P. I. Plumb, last week, re
membered the Index with a big lot of
public documents, thus adding about
half a ton! to the size of our library.
George Orner was In Washington at
the time the documents were mailed
and we think he aided the senator iu
selecting the class of literature he knew
we would dote on. For instance, ijo one
but George could have imagined how
we would enjoy and eagerly devour the
eight large volumus relating the trans
actions of the war department; who but
Orner would have been so thoughtful
as to cend three volumes of the novel
issued" fiom th interior department?
Rut volumn three is iu losing and we
will not be happy until it comes. Then
there is the navy register, a very sweet
look, though the chapters are short;
ihfru thsj Horable gem, the army reg
ister; and that book tt-ili i,t- tl.9 funny
things about the P. O. D.; and the no
less charming book of blank verse re
lating to navigation and a biographi
cal sketch, tcl!ir of our foreign rela
tions, and then last of alt, the abit i fo
ment, a volumn that purports to con
tain the essence of all the others in
short and readable form, after the style
of abridged dictionary, in about GOO
closely printed page. Whsvetrqwjj

Mr. Geo. W. Maffet, of the Anthony
Republican, came in yesterday, and
made the Index a pleasant call. He
hud never before seen our town, and
expressed himself as surprised at the
evidences of substantiability and en
terprise that surround It.
John A. Lacey, who now has a car in
the railway mail service, come over from
his run, from Chanute to Wellington,
last Saturday, to see his folks. He has
made rapid progress in the service, hav
ing been promoted to the best position
in less than a year from the time he
commenced. The Index discovered
Mr. Lacey.
The following is the roll of honor for
room No. 4: Gertrude Ellis, 97; Nellie
Cunie, 94; May Dollar, 91; Myrtle Car
roll, 90; Daisy Moore, 89; Leua OTlryan
bS; Rebecca Lebrecht. 87; Theo. San
derson, 86. The following gained 100
in deportment: Willie Ryerley, Alice
Drysdals, Lottie Esmond, llariy lliff,
Anna Love. Mrs. DeLisle, teacher.
As required by law, the grand jury
visited and inspected the jail. They
found the jail in good condition and the
prisoners in good health and well cared
for. They recommended that a slide
be put in the outside door so the jailer
may feed the prisoners without going
inside. They also recommended a bet
ter protection of he jail enclosure to
prevent and diminish the danger of
prisoners breaking out and prevent out
siders from communicating with prison
ers. The report will be referred to the
county commissioners.
Two more boys, of good parents, are
in trouble, being under indictment
charged with petit larceny. Their
names are Emsley Miller, son of Geo.
1J. Miller, who recently moved here
from the neighborhood of Aetna, and
Henry Weidner, of this city. The com
plaint is that on the 13th of February
they stole from the Sherlock building
three boxes of cigars one pair of mens'
shoes and a lot of sewiug needles, the
property of Standiford, Youmans &
Eidred. The goods were stored in the
building by the owners. The boys
were arrested last week, but Widner
was released on bail. Their trial may
come up at the present term of district
court. Again the Index cautions par
ents that they should keep a better
look-out for their boys al ter dark.

Centenary Sabbath.
Next Sabbath, Feb. 2Gth, has been set

pendant ministry. The Presbyterian
church and Sabbath school will accord
ingly celebrate the day.
The sermon at the morning service

treat of the origin and history of the
Presbyterian churcli in the United
States.
The afternoon hours, beginning at
three o'clock, will lie occupied with
Sabbath school exercises, one feature
of which will be a concert exercise, pre
pared by the assembly's committee.
touching upon the history and present
status of the church. Resides this, a
miscellaneous programme has been pre
pared consisting of recitations, sketches,
music by an infant choir, solos by Ethel
and Ressie Jones, Don Carmichael and
Don Nelson.
In the evening, there will be a praise
service of scripture and song interspers
ed with solos by Miss Squier, Mr. Vin

All are invited to attend these servic

which collections will be asked, which
is a most worthy one. It is hoped that
the occasion will bring with it a benefit
to the church and community.

Hazelton Happenings.
Last week we rode down to Kiowa
and from there to Medicine Lodge and
back to Hazelton. We found the farm
era between Hazelton aud Kiowa busy
plowing their land for early planting:
from Kiowa to Capt. Julian's we only
saw one team at work; from there to
Medicine Lodge each seemed determin
ed to excel m both quantity and qual
ity of work done; from Medicine Lodge
to Hazelton there are but few farms
but that show the marks ot, energy and
pluck. We have never seen as much
farming done at this season of the year
at any time during the nine years we
haye been in Kansas; nor have we seen
the land m better condition for receiv
ing the seed than it is now. Wheat
never looked better than now; stock
has generally wintered well; farmers
are feeling confident of big crops and
there seems to be a general feeling that
the hard times are about over. There
is no class of men that is more deter
mined to overcomeevery obstacle and
succeed amidst difficulty than the class
that have come west to make homes
and fortunes. ...We lately heard of a
young school teacher who is a good
financier, if reports are true. She took
a school at $45 per month, for six
months; taught four months then em
ployed a substitute for the remaining
two months for $25 per month, thereby
making a clear profit of $40 and noth
ing to do for two months. She is bound
to succeed. .. .The report here is that
the round house is to be taken from
Kiowa to a point in Texas in afew days
. . . .John Warner and family have been
called to mourn the loss of their elder
son Charles Warner; he was taken sick
about the 1st of February with pneu
monia fever. He died last Thursday
morning and was buried Friday even
ing. The parents and friends have the
sympathy of their many friends in this
their hour of affliction. . . .C. M. Powell,
living south of here on the strip, had
the misfortune to have his house burned
Thursday morning. He lost nearly
every thing in the house. He claims it
was the work of an enemy. . . . We see by
the Express that the kid that is in
charge of the Croll-IIerrington business
at this place, is disposed'to question
our statement two weeks ago, regard
ing their proposed sale to Mr. Clark.
All we will say to the young man is to
go to the man that furnishes the bulk
of the capital and brains that runs the
firm and ask him whether we repotted
facts or not. ...That rain Saturday
came just at the right.time. The grass
is starting up iu good season and cattle
can soon live ou the range, which will
stop considerable expense for feed....
Quite a number went up to the Lodge
from Hazelton Saturday, to testify in
divorce case between Perkins and Per
kins, and judging from the testimony
both should have a divorce. . . .Dr. J. E.
Ermin, of McPherson, bought a quarter
of laud west of Hazelton of Mr. J. A.
Martin. The Dr. has located in Hazel
ton for the practice of his profession.

THE CASH SYSTEM !
:o:-
Experienced buyers, whetlf
er they be farmers, tradesmen
or mechanics, all admit that
under the system of "Cash at
both ends of the line" they
are enabled to buy and sell
on a much smaller margin of
profits. With the idea of bene
fitting our customers and at
the same time gaining acon
siderable advantage for our
selves in the eastern markets,
we have decided that on, and
after February 1st, 1888, to
follow strictly the cash sys
tem.
"We need not tell our many
old customers that ours is by
far the largest and best sel
ected stock of goods in this
county. It is a general stock
in every sense of the word and
embraces everything that a
family may need in the way
of necessaries, comforts and
luxuries.
Winter is practically over
and it becomes advisable to
clear out all heavy goods and
to do this, we shall make sub
stantial reductions on all
blankets, woolens, heavy cloth
ing, overcoats, winter boots
and shoes, and in fact all fall
and winter goods.
This is no sensational an
nouncement to draw crowds ;
but a business proposition
that can not be controverted.
Call and see us with the
cash or its equivalent, and
you will go home with more
goods for the money than you
ever before hauled out of this
town. Respectfully,
Standiford. Youmans & Eidred
BYERLEY. DARK & RUNYAN.
We will continue to sell all
Heavy Winter Goods
AT DST I
Until Our Very Large Stock
is entirely disposed of. This
must bo done in the next few
weeks in order that we may
have the money to buy and
the room to store
Our Regular Spring Stock
Which, we are now ordering.
We are being offered extra
ordinary inducements in
spring and summer goods
and propose to buy a super
ior line for our trade. Those
who would take advantage
of our xresent offers should
. COME AND SEE US
and you will be convinced
that we are offering induce
ments that you will be glad to
take advantage of.
