A house to house campaign has
been made by the gossips of Baxter

No doubt there is some foundation tor

in the disordered brain of some over
jealous gossipper and will not bear
the light of close examination.

Col. J. B. Cook OF Chetopa has been
appointed cattle Inspector for this dis

law with regard to Texas cattle is
rigidly enforced. AS the law stands
no southern cattle will be permitted TO
enter the state Of Kansas between the
first day of February and the first day
of December under penalty of 5000.
This law is a little hard on the cattle
men of the Quapaw reservation and a
strong effort has been made to have it
changed, but nothing can be done
this year.

CHRISTMAS DAY CRASH.
The Frame of the Zinc Works New
Bag Room Blown Down-Four
Men Badly Hurt

The festivities of Christmas dav
in Mineral Point fell short of com
plete happiness by the blowing
down Of the frame of the large new
bag room being constructed at the
zinc works, whereby four of our
citizens were badly injured, and two
or three others narrowly escaped
like fate. happened early in the
afternoon, shortly after the wind
had raised to great force, which
lifted the frame off its foundation
and laid it wreck on the ground.
Fortunately the usual number Of
men were not at work on the build
ing that day, but as it was the re-
suits were serious and saddening,
say nothing of the great loss. The
men caught meath the heavy fall.
ing timbers were: Ellis Hughes,
W no sustained a broken jaw and in
ternal injuries. Jacob Dresen, Jr.,
knee cap injured and severe blow
ON back of head anu hip. James
Hall, spine hurt and body otherwise
bruised. Clyde Jacobs, arm broken
in two places, and elbow dislocated.
The first three named are men of
families. These gentlemen aud
three or four others were on or
within the structure at the time Of
its collapse. The building was
about ready for the putting on of
the oorrogated iron with which it
was TO be covered, and it is under
stood that in a half-hour or less the
timing or ironing force would have
been at work.
Aside from the great misfortune
of those thus hurt, the drawback
and loss to the proprietors are of
considerable Importance. In the
frame was over eighty thousand
feet of lumber, nearly all Of which
was 81 badly broken as to be of no
further use. Reconstruction, how
ever, was begun at once, aud in due
nme the building will be in readi-
ness for business. So much more
for the nerve and enterprise of the
propretors, who % late have ex-
perenced enough loss and setbacks
to dishearten most anyone. The
old bag rooms recently destroyed
by fire, are about fit for the works
to start up early in the new year,
and this will be done without wait
ing ior the completion of the new
bag room.
The men injured are all reported
as doing fully as well as could be
expected. Their suffering has been
great, but everything for their com
fort and speedy recovery is being
done, and it is hoped that all will
soon be among us as well as ever.

WEATHER during the holidays
varied very much-mild, showery,

thing but what was necessary to
make the season old-fashioned and
desirable. lis effect was the
reignlng Of quietness. No one
cared to go buggy-riding in mud
inches deep, or say the next day,
over roads frozen and horribly
rough. That would not likely fill
one with anywheres near as much
mirth and happiness az a slick, fast
cutter.ride behind a gay team and
iinggling bells. And while the
boys and girls got some little enjoy
ment out Of an occasional oppor
tunity to skate on the ponds, they
were deprived Of the grand sport OF
coasting on our thousand hill'
(more or less) for want Of the beau
tiful snow The conditions changed
customs somewhat, contrary to de
sire. However, family reunion
and social parties were had as usual,
and much pleasure has beer
realized; and if the new year, now
upon US, proves as happy aud main
