CALt AT THE OLD AND RELIABLE
S'TUIfc-HlETTUR
The) Town of Holelngton.
Host people know that there i a
town, or rather a prospective town,
caviled Hoislngton in the northern part
of the county, cn the new line of the
Missouri Pacific: Some persons affect
to believe that it will one day iaake
a great town because it is surrounded
by a rich farming country, others be
lieve that it is possible that one day
it will be the county seat of Barton
County. We want to say in the first
place that we have no unkind feeliugt
for this town. We know several gen
tlemen in this town who are interested
there, and we esteem them kighly.
We don't believe there is a tin el e one
of the members of this town comp&nr
who has an idea that Hotsington will
ever be the county seat of this countv.
The idea is simply absurd. Hoisinjr-
ton will no doubt make a respectable
town some day, a town possibly as
large as Ellin wood, but the idea of its
ever reaching the size of Great Bend
or becoming an active competitor is.
"a day dream as wild as the Arabian
Nights." Great Bend is on the
great trunk line of the Arkansas river
in line with all the great and erowinr
Also a foO Cm cf Fred WD8 of1the vflleJr it,ha PPukuon
ui over uiree inouaauaa, ana property
aggregating over a million. Tne
same railroad that reaches HowDgton
will also come to Great Bend. No
town in tbe valley has fairer prospects,
than Great Bend. The ouly thiug',
that ever can be urged in favor of
Hoitington is that it i nearer the cen
ter of the county. This is a mighty
slim argument when it stands alone
and will never of itself make a countr
seat. Kanopolia is in the exact
graphical center of Kansas, and

Kanopolis is the capital of the state
eo-
when
we may begin to think that the Deonle
of Barton will want to move the county
seat to the center of the county.
The town of Hoisington has our best
regards. We hope it will make a good
town for its growth will aid Great
Bend in a direct ratio.

tice is taken from the Denver Tribun
and New "Another laree audience
eeted the Dan Morris Sullivan Com
ination at the Academy of Music last
night. The show ii popular, and de
servedly so. The panorama depicting
scenes and life in Ireland are perfect
representations, and the sketch work
of Dan and Josie Sullivan is arausiDf
and entertaining. This is the fifth vis
it of Mr. Sullivan to Denver, the first
having been mada as far back as 1870,
and he has made a host of personal
friends here. At G. A. R.,llth, and
13th.
Commencing November 25th the
Kansas City, Ft, Scott and Gulf Rail-,
road'will run a line of through Pull
man buffet sleeping cars between
Kansas City 'and Jacksonville, Fla.
The through car will leave Kansas
City daily at 6:45, going via Memphis;.
Chattanooga, Atlanta and Macon.
This popular railroad alwavs keeps
fully abreast of the. times, and this is
but another manifestation of their enterprise.
Saturday nieht the Grand had a
fine audience to hear the Dan Morris
Sullivan Combination and to see the
beautiful scenes of Ireland as this trou
pe mirrors them. There are 80 of
se pamttnes, each 13 feet high and
10 feet long. The moonlight effect on
many of these pictures is charm in sr. be
sides beisjr instructive and amusing.
The troupe had a warm welcome bv
our people, and will be heartily greet
ed when they return. Ibpeka Capital.-
