A CONFIDENCE GAME.

The Baxter Springs Detective Bu-
reau has almost u national reputation
and their services are sought for far
and wide when tho peace and dignity
of the state has been In any way In
tcrrupted. One week ago last Sunday
all old duffer OF clerical appearance
arrived in town aud inquired the way
TO the detective Office. Meeting with
Officer Donaldson he made the state
ment that he was on the track of
horse thief and thought the thief could
be easily captured II the Baxter detec-
tives would lend helping hand. The
entire force was accordingly called out
and after due consultation it was
agreed that Donaldson should send a
lot of kilograms for which he paid
out Of his own money some S2.SO),
Jones would loan him his famous
silver mounted revolver, Hemstreet
would furnish other supplies and
hofsberger would let him have his
best gO-cart and harness. After the
old lnnkhead had secured all these and
the fly cops were sent out in different
directions he started out for the terri
tory and has not since been heard
from.
Whether he mas found the thief or
the thief has found him will always
remain a mystery, but whatever may
be the outcome OF this transaction our
readers may rest assured that mistakes
of this character will occur In the best
regulated families or detective agen-
cies, and while our sympathies are
with the sly old rascal who got the
best of the boys, we should not ignore
the fact that it was a mistake, not OF
the head, but of the heart.

LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCK.

A movement will be made oil the
part of Columbus merchants, says the
Star Courier, to secure the repeal OF
the ordinance imposing an occupation
tax. The point is being approached
where our business Inen will refuse
longer to be burdened; they will sim
ply quit business and leave the town
If they can get away. This is no idle
remark; we have it from a number OF
business men themselves that the dan.
ger line was near. Some people say
that a knowledge of such \ condition
ought to be kept from the public; that
we ought.to be quiet, lest persons with
capital will be deferred from settling
in the town. The best way 10 induce
immigration is to make 1t as pleasant
az possible 10 those who are already
here. Let taxes of all kinds be cut
down.
The above from the Star Courier of
this week indicates that at least few
of the people of our nGighbor city be-
lieVe its business interests are In q de-
plorable condition. We know nothing
about IL, however, and simply give the
item for what IL is worth, and Invite
all who may chance to readait to com.
pare the sentiment therein expressed
with the general sentiment of the
business men OF our own city,. Baxter

Baxter is concerned we need have no
fears. We are not entitled to more
than two valuable franchises and
while 90 many able statesmen and
men of "lnfloOence" have volunteered
to accept the positions now held by
Col. March aud Charlie Collins we
need have 10 apprehensions as to the
future. We hope the next postmaster
will prove to be sffable and kind and
polite to the ladies and be able to read
postal cards as readily as Col. March,

will be able to tell q CAD fly from

EDITORS NEWS: In your issue OF
Nov. 10Th, o copy of which is before
me, see my name among those max
ing up the long list of aspirants for
postoffice honors at Baxter Springs. l

"But before l sit down." as the last
speaker said, l ask permission to refer
briefly to an item from your keelville
correspondent, j. S. Dill, writing un-
der date of Nov. Is. After referring
to the relative availability Of Harrison
and Blaine he concludes by saying
II believe that JEFF Davis camp in
combination with hell and Wibble-
wobble would have beaten Jesus
Christ himself" He further explains
In parenlhesis that "(Jetf Davis camp,
you know, is ten miles this side of hell
and Wib6lewobble lie described as q
place ten miles 'beyanf hell.)" sup
pose we must logically conclude that
MIR. Dill represents by JEFF Davis
camp the democratic party and by
Wibblewobble the alliance. There
were three principal parties in the
field, the democratic, republican and
alliance. The democrats gained votes,
the alliance held its own and the re-
publicans lost. 1t logically follows
then that the combination must have
been with the republican camp which
Mr.. Dill locates half way between
JEFF Davis camp and Wibblewobble.
II his logic and geography both be
true, the republican party's friends
must think 1t is gone "beyant" re-
demption. Possibly he has drawn his
conclusion from reading that portion
of the bible which teaches that all evil
doors go there when they die.

ABOUT SOME BAxTER PEOPLE.

Some of Bakers brightest young
men are letting their lives slip away
in sort Of innocuous desuetude or at
best giving themselves up to such silly
games as eucher AMI high five. AS
the years weave themselves into CEN
turtles and these poor youths have be-
come frivolous old men with no sci
eniiic knowledge of any standard
game they will look back with regret
and remOrse on the hours thrown
away on such nonsensical sport.
Eucher Is classed in modern Hoyle
with "old maid," "spols," casino, aud
children play it who have sottening OF
the brain, or are inquired in their in
tellect. There is nothing whatever in
the game aud any one can play 1t who
ia able to tell the queen OF hearts from
the Jack of clubs. 1t has a directly
opposite effect on the mind from al
coholism, but is If anything worse IN
it's results and leaves its victims In q
deplorable condition.
We do not approve OF card playing
or horse racing, hut it our young peo-
pie and old people must play cards we
would suggest that they turn their at
tention to something more elevating
than common eucher. The game of
whist If played scientifically or even
intelligently is without question the
most intellectual of all our domestic
games.
II has been for centuries the grea
social game among the higher classes
of all civilized nations; as IA developer
of mental resources il ranks with
chess; as an amusement it is superior
10 the ballet, and morally il is equal to
a camp meeting. Now mind you,
gentle reader, we are not an advocate
of card playing, but when we see so
many Of our young people exhansting
their vitality in tyifling frivolity and
some of them perhaps on the road to
perdilion we feel it solemn duty to
protest and would again urge that
they try and learn the scientific game
of whist. 1t cannot be learned at a
single sitting and some can never
learn it at all, but the true card player,
when he once becomes at all familiar
with the game will eschew eucher,
seven up, casino, cigarettes, chewing
gum, Sabbath breaking and many
other bad habits and will forever after
play nothing but whist, 80 that in his
old age he will be fit companion for
princes and kings.
We are as ANXIOUS for the moral as
for the physical and financial growth
of Baxter Springs, but we can never
reach the standard with eucher, high
five or craps. Let US have whist clubs
and learn something that will be OF
value to US when we go abroad on our
travels or something that will serve to
employ our leisure hours while at
home, not only virtuously but INTEL
lectually.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The Representatives of the Powers Still
Discussing Financial Questions.

BRUSSELS. December 5.-The interna-
tional monetary conference resumes lts-seS-
sions tomorrow. The first matter requl
ing settlement will be whether the reporG
of the committee appointed to consider the
ROthschild plan shall be further debated
or the proposals of the American delegates
proceeded with. Mr. Rothschild, Sir Q.
Fremantle and Sir William Houldsworth,
all of whom are British delegates desire
some expression af opinion regarding Mr..
ROthschilds plan from the full conference.
Mr. Bertram Curtis, another BritlshEdele-
gate. aims TO bring the conference
to a speedy close, and in common with
some of the other delegates who are re-
rigned to see the conference in failure, Will
facilitate the consideration OF the Ameri-
can resolutions as Fastening the winding
ND of the matter. Sir G.. Fremantle, with
q view to the resumption OF the DEBATE on
the DeRothschild plan, has amended his
declaration declining to pledge the English
government to the withdrawal OF
its half sovereign pieces IN favor
of silver by adding the words: Exception
currently with the adoption Of the Roths-
child project or some other proposal having
the same compensatory value" Sir =.
Fremantle, who is deputy master OF the
British mint, has never been known to
take independent action or personal lnltia-
tive and it is therefore taken for granted
that he is the mouthpiece Of the Irish gov
erument announcing assent 10 the abolition
of the half sovereign.
If, despite the adverse report OF the COM
mitLee, the full Conference adopts the
Rothschild plan, anumber of the delegates
will want the Conference to close or ad-
iourn on December l6 at the latest. II an
Adjournment is taken 1t is doubtful If there
will be a full attendance when the sittings
are resumed in January Mr.. Currie has
sent to the Times a verbatim report OF the
speech he made before the Conference on
Friday This report is similar to the here
tofore published accounts Of the speech on
It's advocacy Of gold standard. Mr..
Currie denies that evils are impending
to the world from a disuse Of the silver
standard. The costly silver experiments
of the United States he says are never
likely to find imitators. The conference
had met to endeavor to raise the price OF
commodities, an object that was entirely
opposed to the economic doctrines accepted
in Great Britain. Cheap goods, not dear
goods; plenty, not scarcity, had always
been held to be conditions profitable to
trade That general fall in prices had
been brought about by q scarcity OF gold
had been brought about by scarcity or
gold had never been proved. Such a
theory is a variance with the facts within
cur knowledge Mr.. Currie is the strong
est personality among the British dele
gates and he will not bulge an inch towards
q compromise.
