Halloween Entertainment.

As usual, the young ladies Of Bax-
ter were on hand Halloween night
with new program. This year they
gave their party under the title of the
"Ghostly Ghosts" which was quite
applicable, as the costumes worn were
the old but ever fun-giving sheet and
pillow case costume. The boys learn.
ed the whereabouts of the "Ghostly
Hall" mo. ~ but the girls were equal
to the emergency and, through much
manenvering, succeeded in escaping
past the watch set by the boys
and reached their destination as SCI
for the second time. The boys appear
ed on the scene later and after spend
ing n little while in trying 10 recog-
nize the "GhOstly Ghosts" the Oblig-
ing Ghosts laid aside their masks aud
became charming 90 young ladies,
aud then all attacked the well-filled
plates of taffy, after which delightful
occupation all departed for their re.
spective homes, having spent very
enjoyable evening and expressing
many thanks TO the kind host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Knight.
Those present were as follows
Misses Maude Reynolds, Ora and Eola
Neff, Laura Person, Carrie Lane OF
Columbus, Mamie English, Leila
Sands, Ida Cooper, Eldred Haines

THE nnApAw LANDS.

Tho Cherokee commission Is now
engaged IN buying the surplus lands
of the Tonkawa, POnca, OtOe, Pawnee,
Missouri and Usage tribes. All OF the
above reservations are small except
the Osage, which contains l,65O,6OO
acres. Our readers are Interested In
the purchase OF these lands only so Tar
as Il effects the Usage Qnapaws.
There Is no doubt that the Quapaw
reservation will be allotted very soon
and we are all more or less interested
as to who we will have for neighbors.
The original full blood Quapaw Is net
very desirable as a citizen aud II the
Usage Quapaws are returned TO this
reservation and the land all allotted TO
them the country would DO likely to
remain undeveloped, and civilization
would be retarded just in proportion
to the number of white men VINO could
obtain a foothOld in that nation. 1t is
understood that most of the full blood
Quapaws are DESTROYS OF retaining
their tribal relations and in order TO
do this would be willing TO sell all
their lands and 60 farther west.
While we might grieve TO part with
our old friends IN this way there Ia no
doubt that it would be the best for
all concerned and the country at large
would be greatly benefited. A thou
sand thrifty farmers would take the
place of these people whose only am
bition is 10 draw small annuity aud
spend il for canned fruit. For half
a centur, they have been blessed with
schools and teachers and preachers
and government aid aud they have
refrigerated year after year until now
they are about as helpless as any tribe
on the continent. They do not pre-
tend 10 make any use Of the land they
occupy and during the last 20 years
have hardly raised an acre of corn or
a bushel Of wheat. The longer they
remain here the worse they are off and
if they can be induced to relinquish
their lands and go TO some happier
cline It would be better for them and
better for the Indians and whites who
are developing the country around
them.
The Quapaw question will undoubt.
eddy be settled the coming winter and
every influence should be brought to
bear TO have it settled justly to the
Indians, giving them all their rights
and privileges, but at the same time
remembering the claims OF civilization
and the men who have developed this
country from a barren plain into the
garden spot of the west. Baxter
Springs is deeply interested in this
matter and should not let ii 60 by
default.

SOME FINE CATTLE.

Col. Alexander Warner has pur-
chased a fine herd of Guernsey cattle
from NJ. s. kellogg, an importer and
breeder of Hamilton, Mo-, and In the
future this herd can be seen OIL the
farm of Col. Warner just north of the
city. Among them are imported COW
"Suke 10TH" a 5-year-old COW "Spid.
die, u 2.year-old heifer "Porepa," 2
year.old heifer "Maiie," a heiter calf
''Naomi IL" and bull calf "Raghorn.
All of the above are full blood pedi.
greed Guernscys, breed Of cattle that
tor rich milk aud butter making quail
tiles stand at the head of all others, the
milk often showing 40 per cent cream.
The Guernsey cattle are all of a rich
lemon, fawn or white color and aver
age somewhat larger than the Jerseys.
The introduction of this breed among
the dairyinen Of Cherokee county will
increase the interest in good stock
and It's effects will be beneficially felt
all over this section. There is no rea-
son why our farmers should continue
for any length of time TO breed and
use inferior cattle. /: costs but little
to get grades of this breed aud one of
them will produce more butter than
two of the Ordiaary scrubs. We trust
the example set by Col. Warner will
be followed by others and that within
a few years we may have a fine herd
of wealth producing cows on every
| farm.

Several arrests were made during
the past week for petit larceny and
one state case for burglary. where
convictions are made in city cases we
would suggest little heavier fine.
The costs are heavy enough, II is
true, but the city, upon which the ex.
pense of trying these cases falls, should
get some benefit. A 30 cent fine and
10 costs is not likely to overflow our
city treasury. Our sympathies are
with the under dog, of course, but we
ought TO have u fair division of the
spOils.
