INSURE YOUR LIVES.

1t is hardly worth while to try to
impress the public with the impor-
lance of Life Insurance, for it is only
a question of ability with the MAJORS
ty as to whether they will take it,
very few who are able refusing. The
next point is the selection of Com
pany. So far the Fidelity Mutual
Life Association has been the choice,
and will likely continue to be, having
now more Insurance in force in this
county than all other companies COM
bined. It's rates are within the reach
of those who need Insurance most,
and in point of strength surpassed by
none and equalled by few. In fact,
it is a combination Of all the different
plans Of insurance, with the weak
points of all eliminated-an improve,
ment over all. For terms and infor-

SATURDAY, AUGUST %.
OUR GRAND REUNION.

The gathering of old soldiers in
Baxter Springs next week will In
point of numbers, at least, surpass
anything of the kind ever held in the
state. The Interstate Reunion Asso-
citation have sufficient information to
Justify them in predicting that there
will be more people at this reunion
than at any of our former meetings,
and that the hospitality of the associ-
alton and the citizens Of Baxter
Springs will be taxed to the utmost TO
receive, entertain and accommodate
them. The association has secured
every tent the state could spare, and
will do their best to shelter and pro-
vide for all who come, but 1t is feared
there will still be lack of room and
in case of stormy weather other means
must be provided so that none may be
allowed 10 suffer from exposure. Our
people should do all in their power to
take care of our visitors and those
who have spare roms should be will
ing to fill them up with some of their
friends from abroad. We have some
empty halls and lodge rooms and they
might be obtained for the accommo-
dation of our guests, and if everybody
would take an interest in this matter
and do what they can there would be
no difficulty in caring for all who
come. The reputation of Baxter
Springs for hospitality is a good one
and it should not be allowed to be
damaged this year simply because we
have a few thousand more people to
take care of than usual. Let them
come, and let us give them a warm
greeting with the assurance that their
wants shall be attended TO, and that
none can 60 away dissatisfied. There
has been q demand for tents from
more G. A. r. posts than usual and 1t
is expected larger proportion of vet
Grams will te on the grounds this year,
and these men must at least be pro-
yided with shelter. Most Of them
will be here the entire week, and they
have a right to expect that Baxter
Springs will honor them with a hearty
welcome and comfortable quarters.
Let us all do the best we can TO keep
mp the reputation of the old town aud
our annual reunions.

The advertising space for the reun-

We wish to thank our friends for their

to the fact that Baxter merchants are
all of the enterprising sort who be-
lieve advertising pays and are not
afraid TO let their customers know
what they are doing. A stock OF
goods or a business that is not worth
advertising is not worth having. II

that our Baxter merchants are all on

TT Is FINISHED.

The amphitheatre at Reunion Park
is completed. In spite of all opposi-
ton and some snarling and sniveling
the building has been erected as orig
inally planned from suggestions made
by the News and we feel justly proud
In saying that It is now completed and
is in every way suited to the wants OF
the old veterans who for the balance
of their days will be able to enjoy
their annual reunions here in comfort
and we might almost say luxury.
The building will not be enclosed
until after reunion as the boys will
want all the light and air they can
get, but the sides will be put on this
fall and everything made safe for the
winter. 1t is understood that the
camp ground and building will be put
at the disposal of all public meetings,
picnics, excursions anil gatherings of
every sort, and it ought to be the
means of bringing an excursion to
Baxter Springs every week next year.
We would be pleased to have every
citizen of Baxter and vicinity and
every property owner and every read
err of the NEWS become shareholder
in the association. Go and see the
building and if it pleases you and you
think it of value 10 the city, or If you
are inclined to assist the old soldiers
in their laudable undertaking, don't
be ashamed to put your name down
for few shares of stock. They need
every dollar they can raise this year
and they want the money now. Don't
wait to be called on, but hand in your
name to any of the members and IL
will be put on the list.

We understand that Special Agent
Leonard of the Indian service has
been making an examination of Indi-
an Agent Moore's affairs for several
days past. 1t is understood that a
number of serious charges have been
made against the agent, but whether
they have been sustained or not we
have been unable to learn. We know
that complaints have been quite nu-
merous of late, and unless Mr.. Moore
is diffeeen: from most Indian agents a
charge is in order. What need is
there for these Indian agents anyhow !!
Since the above was put in type we
are happy to learn that the charges
against Moore were disproven. 1t is
a satisfaction to know that there is at
least one honest Indian agent.

Hold TAYLOR on Taxation

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 17.-H. A. Tay-
Tor, federal railroad commissioner
discussing in the State Journal TODAY
the subject of taxation, favors the ex.
emption of all homesteads to the
value of say 81 900 or $4,000. He
says:
can conceive of no possible way in
which men can be compelled to make
a full statement of their property to
the tax officers. The present law re-
qulres them to verify their statements
under oath; but they are seldom
sworn, and when they are their con-
sciences exhibit alarming elasticity.
Despite the best efforts OF the assess
ors to secure full assessments, thefact
remains that a great deal Of property
belonging to those best able to paw
their taxss remains untaxed. Apar-
tlal remedy for this evil can be secured
by granting further exemptions from
taxation. How would it do to ex-
empt from taxation every homestead
In the state to the value, say ofsome-
where from ST 900 to $4,000? This
would greatly relieve very many poor
men who own only q small house and
lot or a small farm. In this way the
burdens of taxation would fall more
heavily on those who own property
in excess OF theexemption But they
are better able to bear the expense of
government than those poorer than
themselves. 1t is the poor who most
need the protection of the law.

tariff-would be placed upon the for

pose Of becoming American citizens,
aout with the object OF taking the

Upon this The Germania, of Mil

As Of course no hater of foreigners, no

trader is naturally also opposed to

tariff immigration will diminish and
gradually cease. What Gov. Camp
@3en says of Huns, Italians and Bo-
lnemians obviousl y applies equally to
Germans, Scandinavians, Irishmen
and Englishmen. The qualification
respecting those who come "with no
purpose Of acquiring citizenship was
kntHrjected merely to soften the harsh
sound of the demand for exclusion.

Specification of immigration is con-
