EASLEY-McCOY.

"For beauty draws us with single hair"
Our old friend Judge Easley was
married again Sunday night to the
Widow Mccoy of Short Creek. Some
people who have more sand than sense
marry for love; some marry for mon
ey, others for convenience and others
from a sense of religious duty; but
the Judge, combining all these in one,
and making judicious selection from
among the beautiful maidens and
stately matrons of our neighboring
town of Galena (whose sole claim TO
distinction lies in the fact of her hav-
ing more beautiful and bewildering
widows than any other town. has
combined business with pleasure, and
comfort with convenience.
This was no sentimental attachment,
neither pronounced nyeth.r) was it
the ephemeral passion of dude, nor
the effervescent and uncertain affec-
ton of q school boy, nor the platOnic
nonsense which only has existence in
old maids and craven images. The
climate of Baxter Springs is of such
an invigorating nature that the "hey-
day" in the blood becomes stronger as
men grow older, and the more muchly
men are married the happier they be-
come. So Uncle Jefferson, in taking
to himself the wife of his choice, is
but following the dictates of nature
and the divine commands of the apos-
tie who says 1t is not good for man
10 be alone. Byron says
Though women are angels yet wedlOcks the
devil.'
But Byron was skeptic and not cal
culated 10 make any women happy.
We believe in marriage every time /;
we love to hear the music of the we'd
ding bells; we enjoy wedding cake /;
we are always prepared to print we'd
ding cards gotten up in the most ar
tistic manner and at lowest rates. and
we wish to say in all cases where a
loving couple are united in the holy
bonds of matrimony-a matrimony as
innocent as a sleeping babe slightly
troubled with wind-we stand ready
at all times to offer our sincere con-
CALCULATIONS and wish the bride and
groom many happy returns.
"For the shovel and tongs
To each other belongs,
O'hone, Widow McCrea;
And the kettle sings songs
Full Of family glee-
O'hone, Widow McCrea.''

The Thanksgiving entertainment
given by the Grand Army boys OF
Baxter Springs was one OF the most
successful and delightful social gath
erings ever held IN this city. Hereto
fore public dinner carried the mean-
ing OF full stomach, irrldescent night
mares and sick headache next morn
ing, but in this case the dinner was u
secondary matter. The program for
the evening was q long one, but full
of variety and of so pleasing charac-
ter that all who attended were well
satisfied and delighted. An Infinite
number OF songs, solos, instrumental
music and short speeches by comrades
kept alive the interest in the audience
50 that it was almost impossible to
keep the supper tables filed.

lice of each one, and whom all were so
good it would be impossible to com

Smith were far above the ordinary.
Mr.. Smith is possessed Of a magnifi-
cent bari,one-tenor voice. and his rem
dering of "Annie Laurie, The Soldiers
Funeral" and "Auld Lang Syne" car
ried the old boys, whose patriotism
did not die when Lee surrendered,
back to the old war days and tho
campfires, formed of men who call
sang Annie Laurie" The glee clubs
and Prof. Clark sang new songs; the
Baxter band played some exceptional
~ fine music; Dad Wahl's-band
played all the old favorite war pieces,
and the q. A. II. boys gave Marching
Through Georgia and John Brown in
good style.
About 400 men, women and child
rem participated in the entertainment,
besides some 30 turkey gobblers with
stuffing, a few roasted pigs, pumpkin
pies, ct cetera. 10 look at the loaded
tables and the loaded comrades one
could hardly reconcile the thought
that Kansas people are in lack of food,
clothing or money, and look over
the happy contented and joyous faces

mind Of The idea that Cherokee coun'
ty people are unsociable or exclusive,

Tho influence of Diet ON the Growth of
Hair

The influence OF Diet on the Growth OF
Hair.
In the British Medical Journal DIR.
L. d. Mapother says: Several cases
of shedding of hair after influenza
have confirmed my opinion that The
diet has much to do with the produc-
ton and with the cure OF symptomatic
alopecia. Hair contains five per cent
of sulphur, and it's ash twenty per cent
of silicon aud ten per cent OF iron and
manganese. Solutions of beef, or
rather of parts of It, starchy mixtures,
and even milk, which constitute the
diet of patients with influenza and
other fevers, cannot supply these ele-
ments, and atrophy at the root and
falling of hair results. The color and
strength of hair in young mammals
is not attained so long as milk Is their
sole food. AS to drugs, iron has
prompt influence. The foods which
most abundantly contain the above
named elements are the various al
buminoids and the oat, the ash OF that
grain yielding twenty-five per cent OF
silicon. With care these foods are
admissible In the course OF febrile
diseases, when albumen is the consti-
tucnt suffering most by the increased
meta bolism. / have often found
dietary largely composed of oatmeal
and brown bread greatly promote the
growth of hair, especially when the
badness was preceded by constipation
and sluggish capillary circulation.
Those races Of men who consume
most meat are the most hirsute.
Again, it is well known in the zoolog-
ical gardens that carnivorous man.
mails, birds. and serpents keep their
hair, feathers or cuticle in bad condi-
ton unless fed with whole animals,

Washburn's Request.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Senator
Washburn, of Minnesota, wrote to
Secretary of the Navy Tracy asking the
use of naval vessel TO transport to
Europe the breadstuffs contributed in
this country for the relief of the famine
sufferers in Russia.
Secretary Tracy replied: sit gives
me pleasure to say that the navy de-
partment cOncUrs heartily in this pro-
pOsal and will willingly do all in its
power to further so generous and suit
able project. The friendly relations
between the United States and Russia
date back to the beginning of our ma
tiOnal existence. Upon more than one
occasion when this country has been Wis
tied by misfortune, or has found itself
labOring under the stress of foreign or
domestic conflict, the government of
Russia, moved by spirit of friendship
far beyond that implied by the ordinary
relations of peaceful intercourse be-
tween nations, has given the strongest
proof of sincerest attachment and re-
gard for this country.
ESPECIALLY at those critical moments
when friends have been most needed,
the courageous and outspoken sympathy
Of Russia has had powerful influence
upon the views and conduct OF other
European states. 1t is a duty no less
than pleasure to every patriotic Amer
lean to do everything in his power to
make return tor this friendly Serv-
ice. 1t is in accordance with the
principles and practice of this
government to assist, as far as it may,
in bringing relief to those in suffering
and distress: and such measures have a
peculiar fitness when their object is to
give succOr to a tried and steadfast
friend. Nor can 1t be doubted that by
providing a conveyance for this gener-
Gus gift of its citizens it rightly sur
rounds an act Of private benevolence
with the spirit of public and national
good will
