HILL ARRESTED.

Quite an indignant feeling was
manifested by the business men OF
Baxter Springs when II became known
that Hill, the "Saddle Rock" man, was
arrested on acharge of selling liquor.
II seems q colored man became quite
hilarious last Saturday, was arrested
and fined ten dollars. Some over
zcalous parties went to him and offer
cd to pay his fine If he would impli-
cate some liquor dealer. Under this
pressure he made an affidavit to the
effect that Hill was the guilty party,
and Hill was arrested and placed
under $500 bonds to answer the charge
before Justice Williams. The trial
was set for Tuesday morning last, but
at the time appointed no witnesses
were forthcoming and the case was
continued till Aug. Sd.
Sheriff Babb arrived OH the D o'clock
train Tuesday and re-arrested Hill on
complaint of the county attorney and
in default of $1,000 bail took him TO
Columbus and placed him in Jail. 1t
may be the county attorney thought
he could not get justice here, and if SO
he was justified in taking a change OF
venue, but we believe as good II jury
could have been obtained here as else
where. Mr.. Hill leaves an aged
mother, q wife and four small child
rem to mourn his absence.

There is not only Joy In the house OF
Baker, but there is q rustling and q
hustling in the house of Baker. On
Sunday morning the wife Of 4. Baker,
Esq, living in the territory south OF
Baxter Springs, presented him with q
fine pair of bouncing boys-both
twins. They are there yet the pride,
wonder and admiration of the Peoria
nation. 1t does our heart good to re-
port such soul.stirring actualities in
real life as this-or rather these
being twins.
Mr.. Edward Baker is one of the
most enterprising stock raisers in the
territory and his last exploit not only
does credit to binselt, but covers with
glory the whole territory. 1t is self
evident fact that Baker did not come
into the nation for his health, and
neither ia he there for pastime. 1t is
patent OH the face of il that he meant
business from the start, but that they
should both be boys, and twins too,
is not only surprise to him, but a
matter OF sincere congratulation TO his
many friends and well-wishers in the
nation and elsewhere. The Baker
family are rustlers. There are no
cold, blue, celluloid old bachelors Oh
star spangled old maids In the Baker
family. Ed. Baker himself is o natur.
al product of American soil, who is
not afraid to plant his potatoes in the

ton arises as to who does he suspect,
or whether this beautiful armful Of
twins was an accident, a result Of
the allotment of lands in severalty, an
unusual climacteric or planetary dis
turbance we can safely say it was
none of them; and neither was it, OF
rather were they, special dispense
ton of divine providence. 1t was
purely and solely piece of native
American enterprise, national pluck
American endurance and territorial
Jurisprudence.
The boys, little Jimmie Blaine Ba
ker and Benny Harrison Baker, have
our best wishes. They are starting
out in life with the brightest of pros
poets, and more than one chance fol

nothing TO worry about and a kline

TERRITORY NOTES.

Charley Labedie and VIM. Merris
are both up in Kansas this week with
their new steam tlreshers. A steam
thresher as all Indian civilizcr is worth
half dozen missionaries and il is TO
be hoped our boys with their fine new
machines may do good work among
the poor benighted christians of Cher
okee county.-The cattle disease in
the nation seems TO have originated in
Douthat's pasture where small bunch
of knotty-headed Arkansas cattle had
been put in late in the spring. The
only salvation for our people is TO use
their lands for grain and hay and pas
ture no more outside cattle.-The
News is getting a good many new
subscribers in the territory.-Apple-
gate has charge of the blackberry
patches and is working them for all
they are worth.-The Miamis and
Wyaudottes are all worked up over
the reports circulated by young
Quaker who recently married one OF
the tribe. Among other things he re-
ports Uncle Irving Long as having
Joined the church with blanket on
and induced thereto by liberal sup
ply of pie. 1t is a well known fact
that Mr.. Long was a man of superior
attachments, liberal education and a
life long christian. The Miamis and
WyandOttes have been civilized for
100 years, and are today as free from
barbarism as any nation or tribe
white, red or mixed.-A bran new
ferryboat is being constructed at Mi
ami and as soon as the cable is receiv-
ed it will be put in operation.-
Owing 10 some irregularity in the pay
roll the Peorias were not paid off last
Monday as advertised. 1t is said there
were too many white women's names
on the roll.-The Good Branch
Mining Co. of Peoria have just gone
through three and one-balf feet of
pure zinc ore.-One-half the Peorias
are to by paid off at a time. The
agents bond is not sufficient to cover
the full amount.-There is vacancy

A new political order has recently
been started in Baxter Springs called
the Knights and Ladies OF America
This knight business is becoming
quite oppressive and something ought
to be done to put a stop to 1t. Baxter
Springs was already favored with the
orders of Knights of Honor, knights
of Reciprocity. Knights OF Labor,
knights of Pythias and Knights
Templar and now comes that plumed,
grand duke of knight errantry, Bob
McGregor, with his Knights and
Ladies of America. The name
"American citizen" is of itself royal
title aud it wonld seem as if we might
adopt American names for our orders
rather than follow in the wake of the
chiyalrv and driveling imbecility OF
the old countries. From the time
when "Cerrantes laughed SPANS chlv-
airy away" there has been no great
honor attached to knighthood, and
since the time when England's fore
most knight and gentleman held lady
Brooke by her lily white hand and
kept tab at swipdling game of bac-
carat, there has been more or less
dishonor attached to the title. If we
must assume titles let US have solid,
patriotic, American ones and instead
of knights and Ladies of America
why not Men and Women of Ameri-
ca? or the Male and Female Bread
winners of Kansas? or the Loyal
Plowboys and Milkmaids OF Spring
valley? or the Dudes and Scullery
Maids of Baxter Springs?

and other benevolent entertainments
are getting scarce why not give the
