The Madisonville Messenger changes

'been battling with the waves of q
Journalistic sea. whatever that means,
and retires TO hunt up q 'sea' where
there are more sheckels. Editor Book
man, who realizes the 'vicsitudes that
ever beset the pathway OF an editor,
and has discovered that his "couch is
anything but bed of roses has all
alone launched his craft on that same
''temPestuous sea. How he can fol-
low that path, stick to the couch aud
steer his craft is not explained, but it is
TO be hoped that ;he wished for smooth
sailing on the EDITORS pathway will be
realized.
The Burnet Bulletin. lately edited by
Col. J. a. Stevens, is now under the
management of Mr.. 4. NJ. Smith, who
intends 10 Introduce some changes ana

under Col. Stevens, was sturdy laborer
for the people OF Buruet county and
pure and dignitied at all times. If the
paper exceeds in new hands the useful
ness II had of old both Mr.. Smith and
the people are to be congratulated.

Special to the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, Nov. l2.-The
following letters have been received by
Mr.. Howard, secretary of the Wichita
Falls immigration association:
SAN ANTONIO. TEX. Nov. 4, 1899.
Mr. John Howard, Wichita Falls. Tex.
DEAR SIR-The home for destitute
children of this place has received after
deducting all expenses, the cum of
1886 So, the generous gift of Wichita
county, for which please accept the
thanks of the board of directors. Re-
spectfully, Mrs. NJ. c. CRABOT,
President of Professionals Home for Desti-
tute Children.
DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 4, 1850.
Mr. John Howard, Wichita Falls, Tex.
DEAR SIR-The Catholic orphans home
of this c.ty have received from the Wich-
lta county exhibit the sum of SIG. 65
net, for which please convey to the good
people of Wichita county our sincere
thanks. Respectfully,
Mrs. leila BARRY,
Treasurer Catholic Orphans Home.
Mr.. Eo ard informs THE GAZETTE
correspondent that the reason the San
Antonio home received so much more
than the Dallas home is that the work
was started at San Antonio, and the
money received there all went to the
home of that city, while the money re-
ceived at Dallas was divided between the
two cities. The expense OF advertising,
printing tickets, etc., was taken out of
the gross receipts and the balance given
to the homes.

YES. WE WANT THE EARTH.

The Columbus Advocate scurrilous-
" insinuates that Baxter Springs
wants the earth when it comes 10 Gel.
ebrations, reunions, fairs, etc. That
is the correct idea. Baxter always
reaches out for most anything i'll sight
and strange to say she gets it every
pop. She has already had three big
picnic excursions this year, will have
two or three more on July 4th, togeth-
er with the biggest celebration of the
national holiday held in the county,
and she will have the county fair and
the annual soldiers reunion.
From the way the Columbus people
have been sending down for our 4th
of July bills we judge they are going
to help us do the very thing the Advo-
cate says we want to do, and what we
probably will do--that is, secure the
earth and a good portion Of the popu-
lation of Columbus and other sur
rounding villages about July 18th. II
tie earth is bound and determined to
come here to celebrate, the Advocate
ought not to try to interfere, because
in doing so it might get run over.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1890-06-21
SOME GOOD WORK.

The county commissioners, sitting
as a board of equalization last week,
made some radical changes in the re-
turns of some of the township and city
assessors. In Sheridan, Lola and
Crawford townships the valuation on
personal property was raised about III
per cent, while in several Of the south
ern townships a reduction nearly as
great was made. The valuation on
realty in Columbus was reduced IL
per cent. Mining companies on Short
Greek were compelled to return $32, :
600 worth of mineral that was stored
away in bins, AMI several gentlemen
who are raising fine horses and cattle,
and who had succeeded in getting
them rated as ordinary stock, had to
submit TO just assessment. The
con- missioners are of the belief that
this assessment, as it was finally made,
is the most equitable and just that has
been made for years. The rate, which
was 10 mills last year for county pur-
poses, will not be over II this year,
and the commissioners expect to have
surplus of not less than $1,000 III the
treasury.

POINTERS FROM PEORIA.

PEORIA, l. T., June Is, 1870.
The Peoria mining company are go
ing ahead as if they were certain that
something valuable is here and ]
think it is judging from the enihu'
siasnn manifested among old miners,
who say that 200 feet square of min
ing land here is big thing and no
mistake.
About dozen holes are going down
now aud the number is increasing
daily. Old miners say that this is the
first place they ever saw where such
rich mineral outcroppings are to be
found.
The town is surveyed and every
body is jumping lots in a way that
would surprise old '49ers. The town
site is a good one, although water is
scarce as the creek sinks some dis
lance above here and runs under
ground for about three-fourths of a
mile. There is fine spring at the
upper end of Main street and another
at the other end of Main, but from the
center of business it is quite a dis.
lance to carry waller.
The first business house started was
the Peoria Dining Hall, which was
begun Wednesday noon. l under
stand J. II. Humphrey will start here
tomorrow (Thursday). He will put
in stock of groceries, provisions and
miners supplies. Preston Button also
begins here the same day with black
smith shop.
Everybody is very sanguine over
the prospect and it is believed that pay
dirt will be taken out this week-not
over % to 30 feet down. More anon
