The Springvalley township question
has finally been settled for good and all.
On Tuesday last the attorneys met In
Baxter Springs and made final set
Element so that Smingvallcy tax pay
ers need 10 longer be kept in doubt as
to their liabilities from that source.
The bonds were illegally Issued in the
first place and had been outlawed for
years, but the people have been pestercd
about once year with lawsuit by
some fractions holder, and all were
anxious TO have them settled In some
form. We congratulate the property
owners of the township on the final
adjudication of this yeXed case as we
understand The terms were very favor
able and satisfactory to those IN inter-
est and the tinal end of a lawsuit is al
ways something to be thankful for.
o. n. Baldwin recently bought the
old livery stable building at the cor
ner of Main and Sheridan streets OPP
posite the Occidental building and is
now Transforming 1t into what will be
one Of the largest, II not tho largest,
and finest store buildings in Baxter
Springs. The store room will be 29x
so feet inside aud the whole of :he
north side will be principally glass
with large entrances ut northeast and
northwest corners. There will also be
1SxS0 feet of floor space on the second
floor, which will give Baldwin u de.
cided advantage over his competitors
in point of room, light and ventilation,
while his Military street friends will
have at least some advantage over him
in point of location.
Linden Willis has just returned
from a trip along the line OF the Gulf
railroad TO Memphis. He reports
depressed state of affairs existing
throughout southern Missouri aud
northern Arkansas. The mills are
about all shut down, cotton is very
low and a very poor outlook for the
coming year. II is very evident that
southeastern Kansas is about as pros
porous section of country as there is
in the west. Our products are always
in demand aud if we only knew the
condition of affairs in other sections
we would feel that we have reason 10
be cOntemted with our own country.
Five successful revivals are now in
progress in the city and are no doubt
accomplishing Il great good IN The
community. There is undoubtedly a
grand field to work on and rs business
is rather quiet and the weather poor
for outdoor operations 40 better OPP
portunity could be offered for bring
ing sinners to repentance. 1t Is dam
gerous to put off these things till the
dog days, and we hope TO see all our
doubtful and uncertain friends gath
cred in before the spring work COM
mences.
DR.. Kelley, who has cured more
men of drunkenness than all other
Influences combined, comes out now
with a certain cure for the grip which
he gives to the world free of charge.
The remedy is sixteen grains of asa
retida in pill form four times day.
The doctor says he had hundreds of
cases and never even had man 60 TO
bed from the effects Of the disease
after taking the medicine. Many
physicians will hoOt at the idea of this
specific, but it is we'll worth trying.
