The Baxter Springs detective assoc
citation, although not so extensive In
its ramifications as the Pinkertons,
will doubtless soon become as famous
us that celebrated institution. Thurs
day night Chief Hemstreet was noti-
fed that a sorrel horse with three
Jumps on his head had been stolen
from q party of horse traders down by
the river. llemstreet Immediately Or
dered out two Of his most efficient
thief takers-Clarence McFadden and
Frank Price-and armed and equipped
with everything that the name implies
started for the camp. They immedi-
ately struck q warm trail and rounds
man McFadden soon discovered the
lumpy- headed horse hitched to q wag-
on which was occupied by q woman
and child. The woman showed fight
with a double-barreled shotgun, but
roundsman Price in his inimitable
persuasive manner attracted her at
tention while McFadden brought away
the horse. The owner of the wagon
was soon found badly intoxicated and
somewhat belligerent, but was induced
to accompany the officers to the city
hall where he was locked up to await
examination. Too much honor cannot
be given to the brave aud efficient Of
flcers of the detective agency. The
woman followed them up into the city
with gun, but they held her at bay
and finally forced her to retreat,
bringing off their prisoner in good
shape. We are unable to give even
the stage name of the parties.

A GOOD WORK.

A. W. Abrams, of the Quapaw
nation, is interesting himself in a
good work. He is inducing all the
full blood Quapaws to give five year
leases TO tenants who will improve the
property to the extent of a few
hundred dollars. Mr.. Abrams has al
ready located quite a number of rent
ers and thinks he will have all the
vacant lands, held by Quapaws, leased
out by spring. AS there are no taxes
TO pay in the territory the opening is
good one for those who wish to hire a
farm on liberal terms.
All leases run for five years and are
recognized by the government. The
tenant must within the five years
build a small house and barn. fence
the farm and have one half of it in
cultivation. Each farm consists of
200 acres and nearly all is fine land for
agricultural purposes, with plenty OF
water for stock and wood sufficient
for home use. Abrams has on his own
farm 90 acres of wheat looking very
fine and will put in 300 acres Of corn
next year. Abrams is rustler.

A hunting party left here for the
territory Thursday morning fully pre-
pared, equipped and fortified for any
thing that may turn up. Tho party
consists OF A. Kane, crack rincman.
Leroy Harvey, knife thrower, Jim
Maussner, representing a New York
hickory cheese factory, Ben Patton:
representing the Baxter News and
Jim Simmons, representing Louis
vile plug tobacco factory. The inten-
ton Is to cross the Neosho at William S
ford and clean up everything that runs,
flies or swims OH the other side of the
river. From the highly emotional
manner in which the party left town
we have no doubt they will do great
execution among the meadow larks,
mud hens and fly-up-the-creeks.

ANorHER sWINDLE.

A couple of nicely dressed young
men have Just taken in number Of
intelligent citizens by selling them
powder that was warranted to make a
kerosene oil lamp burn a year without
rcfilling. A large number of victims,
including member of the school
board, bought freely of the powder
and have enough on hand TO keep their
lamps trimmed aud burning till
Gabriel blows his horn.
How much cheaper ii would be for
these people to take a newspaper and
find out the various swindling methods
now in vogue throughout the country.
Well informed people seldom get
caught in confidence games. The
bunko steerer seldom makes a mistake
and never tackles a newspaper reader.
Swindling, cheating, gambling and
other vices will exist 50 long as the
human family exists, but they can be
made harmless by education, intclli-
gence aud knowledge.
We understand about 500 has been
taken out of this town by one of the
most common and least seductive
articles. This not only looks bad fol
the town, but will bring other schem'
ors here and through some patent
medicine fraud or cheap John humbug
they will gobble up the loose change
of those who most need it. We be-
lieve our merchants should be protect
cd aud that all peddlers, auctioneers
and other transient philanthropists
should pay at least $50 day for the
privilege Of carrying on their business
Another thing: we think every fami'
ly in the city and country should take
the Baxter Springs News and learn
what is going on around them.

GOODNER-PEERY.

1.-THE sum Of all that makes q just man happy
Consists in the we'll choosing of his wife,"
Clyde Goodner and Maud Peery
were married Wednesday evening, ut
the home of the brides parents in the
Peoria nation. We have been unable
to obtain particulars of the wedding.
The bride is one Of the most accom-
plished bellies of the territory and the
groom is we'll known stock dealer OF
Baxter Springs. They are starting
out in life under favorable circum-
stances and are accompanied on their
bridal tour by the best wishes and
hearty congratulations of the News
and their many friends.
We are not of those who think true
love is unwholesome, even in the dog
DAYS. and there is no doubt in the
minds of those who know the parties
but that this was case of true love.
Mr.. Goodner has chosen well and il
we thought it wouldn't spoil the young
man, we would say Miss Peery has
chosen well. We congratulate them
both.

Six months ago we were sending
gold to Europe by the million. Since
the middle Of September We have i'm
ported $25,OO0,000 in gold with some
millions on the way. Surely we
ought to feel prosperous and happy
and Joyous as Thanksgiving day APP
breaches, and as an eloquent divine
lnot of Baxter Springs) said the other
night, forget all about shrouds and
collins and .ombstones aud corpses
and worms, but rather let us be joyful
and thankful that the Lord has been
pleased to deliver the Pbilistines and
the goldbugs and tho Shylocks of
London into our hands, aud let us
pray that we NAV continue to receive
their substance, that we may continue
to make merry Herewith.

There is a story ahoat that certain
horse OF this city made dash over
the Devils Promenade while attached
to spring wagon and after falling
80 feet swan to the opposite bank OF
the river without receiving any other
injury than the dislocation of one or
two of his hips and the loss of hearing
in one of his ears. We have some
doubts az to the authenticity of this
tale as Bill Woodrum and George
Black were the only eye witnesses and
one of them says there was a loving
young couple in the wagon when 1t
went over, and the other says George
Black "shewed" the horse and made
him run.

The failure OF the scientific rain
makers to satisfactorily establish their
theories in western Kansas should
have no injurious effect on the eastern
portion of the state. Eastern Kansas
has annually about as much rain as
any of the western states and seldom
fails in raising u crop of grain. Oi
course her reputation for drouth and
hot winds will adhere to tho whole
state 50 long as there is no distinction
between the productive and unpro.
ductive portions, but emigrants and
land buyers are fast learning the dit
ference between the two and before
another year the best counties, with
Cherokee at the head of the list, must
come to the front.

A young man in this city has just
received enough money from a build
ing and loan association TO build him
iIice little home. II seems strange
that other rent payers do not follow
his example. So far we have failed in
organizing a society of this kind in
Baxter Springs, but there are plenty
of large companies where accomnoda'
ton can be had and by paying a little
more than the monthly rent a man can
soon own his own home and obtain
the natural advance in the price OF
property. Every man who is receiv-
ing a monthly salary and paying rent
should invest in some good building
association at once.

Some very elaborte stone sidewalks

BRoMBY'S BLUNDER.
He Dallies With an Inmate of a Crib
and is Robbed.

May Stow is a woman who inhabits
one of those vile cribs on Alameda
street, and with whose illegal trade the
vote-of-thanks-and-confdence chief of
police, Glass, does not see fit to inter-
fere, was arrested on a warrant for
grand larceny yesterday, on complaint
OF Richard Bromby, an aged man, whom
she enticed into. her den one evening
last week and, it is alleged, robbed of
500.
Bromby was passing by the "crib, +"
and May urged him to come in and rest
his weary limbs. The old gentleman
had been walking some distance, and,
feeling rather tired, accepted the invi-
tation. Once inside, his gay enter
tainer became very attentive to Bromby,
and while sitting upon his knee and
caressing him, riAed his pockets of a
$40 gold piece, placing therein in it's
stead silver dollar.
Bromby expostulated, but was put
out of the house, and soon filed com
plant for grand larceny.
May is held at the city Jail, in default
OF $500 bail, to await arraignment
today.

During the past century there has
been great revolution in the depart
ment OF medicine, as in everything else.
The old methods, to a great extent, have
been laid away forever, and guided by
new scientific discoveries, and the ele-
vation OF hitherto hidden truths, the
people OF today see clearly and surely,
where before they saw through the glass
darkly. Among the greatest exemplars
of this new regime are the Drs. Darrin.
who have their Office at Hotel Ramona,
corner Third and Spring streets, Los
Angeles.
For the benefit of those who are not
already acquainted with their mode of

trustful, after many failures of every
body and everything, DR.. Darrin makes
the extraordinary and most generous
offer to treat the afflicted free OF charge,
between the hours of 10 and IL a. m.
each day, until further notice, to, prove
to the community at large his ability
and skill. That the Drs. Darrin have
effected extraordinary cures after all
efforts elsewhere have failed, is fact
supported by the strongest evidence.
Their cures, moreover, are rapid and
permanent, as shown by the following
testimonials:
