The Importance of reading local pa
pers and affording them tho support
necessary to enable them to obtain the
news of tho day was illustrated a few
days ago in Roanoke, when a news item
from Washington. published in THE
TINES, which CO ,tainel the
ment of the flight OF a swindler from
the National Capital, was the means Of
stopping the mailing of a certified
check for a thousand dollars to the adj
dress Of the absconder. 1t appears that
a gentleman in Roanoke had a business
transaction with the Washington man,
and had a certified check in his pocket
to be forwarded to ths latter for SER
vices which were to be rendered in the
shape of stocking q new company, when
he saw the item and saved his money,
or at least the annoyance and expense
of recovering it. Moral: Subscribe for

THE RAIN MAKERs.

The artificial rain makers are still
at 1t and when the government APP
preparations are all exhausted private
individuals will take 1t up and contin-
ne their experiments. We have but
little faith in the theory of explosives,
but have always held that artificial
ponds or reservoirs would accomplish
the end sought for. II every quarter
section in the arid region was possess
ed of q pond of water Of at least one
acre in extent nature would have
something to draw from. The sun
would draw water from these ponds
and distribute it according to the re-
quireInents of nature. Scientists may
take all the armaments of the govern
ment to the western plains and bonn
bard the heavens for weeks and they
will not produce one solitary drop Of
moisture. The seige Of Vicksburg
lasted over six weeks with thousand
pieces of artillery In active use and no
rain fell for two months. The explO-
sive theory is all bOsh. Eastern Kan
sas was once called the American des-
ert aud The ground used to crack open
wide enough to swallow a horse and
buggy, but now that nearly every far
mer has a pond Of water crops suffer

MISSIONARY WORK.

For the past few months our city
has been filled with drunken Indians
and the officers have for some time
been trying to obtain evidence against
the parties who have been selling liq.
uor to them. Last Sunday complaints
were filed with U. S. Commissioner
Daniels against Charles Horne,
Charles V. Butler, Edward Seaman
and Mat Powell. Warrants were is-
sued promptly and'the first three were
arrested, Mat Powell escaping after
having been fired at several times by
the officers. The trial of the three
prisoners was set for Friday, Sept. 4th,
and ii is to be hoped that If these men
are guilty they will receive proper
punishment.
The sale of intoxicating liquor in
Kansas border towns is altogether too
promiscuous. Drunken boys and
blanket Indians are an everyday sight
and such sights are not edifying even
to anti-prohibitionists. Indians under
charge of an agent are wards of the
government or minor heirs, and the
penalty for selling liquor to such In
dams is one year in the penitentiary
or fine of $1,000 or both. The crime
Of giving liquor to Indians is consid-
cred as heinous as selling il, aud the
bootleggers who have been daily fill.
ing our streets with drunken and dis
orderly Indians should understand
that they are taking desperate chances.
Our officers are determined to put a
stop to she practice and it is only
question of time when all the ire
sponsible bootleggers who infest our
alleys and byways will be run in and
settled with by Uncle Sam.

OUR COUNTY JAIL.

The Cherokee county Jail at Column
bus has been compared to the black
hole OF Calcutta. There are now u
prisoners confined within the walls OF
a small room that was never intended
to hold more than ten. The ventila-
ton Is imperfect, an open water closet
occupies one corner aud the stencil is
almost uncomfortable, dirt and filth
abound everywhere and many Of the
prisoners are too sick to eat. The
iailor, Mr.. Chew, does everything he
can to alleviate the sufferings and dis
comfort of the prisoners and provides
them with the same fare he sets on his
own table, but he ia unable to provide
proper sanitary facilities for so many
prisoners, whose lives are endangered
by lack of decent accommodations
From all accounts our county Jail, as
a place Of confinement, would be a
disgrace to tribe of IIOttentOts.
The county commissioners made a
personal examination of it Wednesday
and after q consultation with Judge
McCue have decided to relieve the
pressure in q measure by discharging
some of the prisoners who have been
confined the longest, but we need more
Jail rooms aud they should be at least
decent.

QUARTERS AND HECTOL1TERs.

XOAAbAA1A NM Emo
We have frequently been asked the
meaning of terms used In foreign
market reports, and for the benefit OF
our farmer friends, who are as deeply
interested in the grain markets as
they are in politics, we give the fol.
lowing information:
A quarter of grain consists of eight
bushels and is used altogether by
English farmers aud in English coun-
try markets. London quotations al
ways give the price per quarter and IN
this market wheat is always called
"corn," and corn is called maize. A
GENITAL is 100 lbs. and is used in quoting
the Liverpool markets as well as those
of the continent. A hectoliter is al
most three of our bushels or 2.35 pecks.
1t is the official measure of France
and is coming into use in nearly all
continental markets.
1t should be remembered that Chi
cago controls and regulates the price
of wheat throughout the world and
has done so for over twenty years.
Odessa, Russia, handles more actual
grain than Chicago, but as specula-
tive market Chicago does more bust
ness in one week than Odessa does In
a year. French, English, German,
Holland aud Scandinavian dealers all
have their agents in Chicago, who buy
or sell on cable advices as the outlook
warrants. The large exporters of
New York, San Francisco and In fact
in every part of the world have their
representatives on the floor of the
Chicago board of trade. This is why
Chicago makes the price for oil other
cities, and If our grain dealers and
grain holders will keep step with the
Chicago grain market and study its
conditions carefully they will do bet
ter than to waste their time on vision
airy political localities and impracti.
cable speculative schemes.

THE DAILY NEWS.

The publication of a daily newspa-
per during the reunion proved TO be
of more material advantage to the
city of Baxter Springs and to the re-
union association than would appear
at the first glance, At least 500
copies of the whole weeks issue were
mailed to friends in the eastern and
northern states, and fully. 10000 cop
les were carried home by visitors as
mementoes of the 10th annual reun.
ion.
No matter what the merits of the
paper have been, as an advertising
medium it was a grand success, aud
its influence will be felt by its pat
rons and by the city of Baxter
Springs for months to come. Next
year we trust paper Of similar char
acter, but of considerably larger d.
menions will be issued, and we believe
it will prove one of the important
features of all future reunions.

TO PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN.

| ~ = Oo4AO OOAAOOA OAAAA&DAeA&1Ns
On Monday next our public schools
open with bright prospects and par
enis will supply their children with
the usual number of new books, satch.
els and slate pencils. and filed with
the high hope of seeing them one day
occupy the rostrums, pulpits and leg
islative halls of our land. We would
like to say word to the beloved
children of the Baxter public schools
before you enter upon your duties. In
the first place you must not forget that
school taxes are very high and it costs
more 10 educate one Kansas boy and
fit him for college than ii used to cost
in Indiana to graduate a whole room
full of young men and fit them for the
legislature. Hence you owe some
thing to the taxpayers of the city and
we will be well repaid If you are stu
dious and attentive and try to improve
your minds to the best of your ability.
Your school rooms are comfortable.
your teachers are kind and competent
and there is nothing to hinder your
advancement in knowledge, deport-
ment and general information.
There is one thing that the Baxter
pupils are addicted to which often
brings the tears TO the eyes of the tax
payer, and that Is the almost universal
use of the idioms of the Wabash. We
had rather see bright young lad use
tobacco or a sweet, sunny-faced little
girl chew gum on the open streets
than TO hear them say: II haven't
saw him." or ~ seen him." or II don't
know nothin' about it," or "do like
do" or "Where is it at?" Such ex-
pressions as these not only sound
harsh to foreigner, but they are de-
moralizing to old people, and If your
teachers fail to correct your language
you must do it yourselves. The dia-
lect now in general use in Cherokee
county may be understood here, but
when you grow up and are sent out as
missionaries, school teachers and book
agents into the civilized world you
will be under the necessity of employ
ing Interpreters so that uneducated
people may understand you. The cor
rect use OF the English language is as
necessary to your advancement in life
as Greek, Latin or trigonometry. En-
glisb, pure and indebted, is the Ian
guage of our common country, and
The idiotic idioms and outlandish d.
alects of the back woods should be
dropped fore yer from your vocabula-
y. In this age of railroads, tele-
graphs and newspapers there is no
need of sectional dialects, and it is q
luty you owe TO your country as well
IS to the taxpayers who furnish the
means to give you free education, to
.ry and learn to speak your native
language as it should he spoken.

HOLD YOUR WHEAT.

There has been some depression in
the wheat market of late, but 1t is
caused solely by the owners them
selves aud will react as soon a. receipts

AS usual, farmers have rushed their
wheat on the market as soon as 1t
could be threshed and receipts at the
great grain centers for the past month

take advantage Of these circumstances
aud hammer prices down below the
