PArRIARcHs OF AMERICA.

Canaan Lodge, No. 26, OF the Patri-
archs OF America, was Instituted at
Cooper hall in this city Thursday
night and The following officers chosen
for the ensuing term: II. L. Nc
Gregor, past patriarch: A. +. Merker,

protector; j. X. Brown, medical di-
rector; S. Is. Apple, p. 5. Chubb, Miss
Laura Person, A. l.. Harper and Mrs.
Fannie Edwards, trustees.
The secret work OF the lodge was
exemplificd by A. A. Mears, organ
izer, assisted by L. r. Franks of Weir
CITY, supreme senior patriarch (; J. NJ.
Compton, IL. NJ. Grandle and w. A.
Durham of Weir City; Asa Lea,
George ID. Shepard, d. NJ. Bliss and
L. w. Youngman OF Columbus, and
j. S. Allen of Hallowell. The officers

ing brethren took their departure on
the midnight train for home.
This lodge is an insurance and fra
ternal organization similar to the A.
O. U. w. and NJ. w. A. and SO far is
confined TO the state of Kansas. 1t
admits both male aud female members
and is said to be an excellent order,
especially as regards cheap insurance.

A MASONIC HOME.

The Masonic order OF Kansas is
making arrangements TO erect home
to be dedicated towards providing u
place where aged and broken down
Masons and Masons' widows and Or
phans can have shelter from buffeting:
with life's battle in a cold cruel world.
The grand lodge has appropriated
$4,000 and the Grand Chapter and
Eastern Star, have fled their willing
ness in substantial way 10 increase
the amount to $4,000 and the Blue
Lodge has made yearly assessment
of one dollar upon each of its members
to run for five years. There are now
10000 Blue Lodge members in the
state and these at one dollar each per
year for five years will make sum OF
100000 in itself, so 1t can be seen tnat
the enterprise is certainty. The To-
cation has not vet been selected, and
the town that gets the home will be q
fortunate one as the building will be a
credit and the grounds, ETC., will be
arranged so that they will be pleasing
to the eye, and attract attention. The
grand lodge has concluded to locate in
the town that will offer the greatest
inducements as 10 location, etc. In
conclusion it would be good idea for
Baxter Springs TO look after this, as IT
would be credit to our growing city
in more ways than one.

M'ABOY ON TOP.

Up to the time of going to press last
week the horse case was not settled.
The horse was replevined from McA-
boy on last Friday afternoon and on
Saturday afternoon McAboy replev-
ined the horse back and gave rede-
livery bond. The hearing of the case
was set for Wednesday afternoon OF
this week, but on Monday the owner
of the horse appeared on the scene
aud told McAboy that il he would
pay all costs and turn the horse over
TO him that he would let him INCA
bow alone. TO all of this McAh0y
demurred, whereupon the owner left
for Seneca 10 await the coming OF
judgment day. On Wednesday morn
ing the marshal of Seneca accompa-
MED by n. G. Gallemore, an attorney,
the owner of the horse and two or
three other parties arrived in the city.
On the same morning Mr.. Hugh Nc
Kay, justice OF the peace OF Empire
City, arrived in the city TO manage
McAboy's end OF the string. a con-
ference was held by the two factions
the result of which was that McAboy
offered TO deliver the horse TO the
owner upon receipt Of IS, the owner to
paw all costs. This proposition was
rejected aud both sides adjourned un-
iii after dinner. when they met again
at Squire Williams Office. Mckay,
who happens 10 know a little law
himself, then proceeded to open up his
batteries ON the court. the Seneca
crowd and everybody else with the re-
sult that the case was not called for
trial. The Seneca attorney agreed to
compromise upon the terms submitted
by McAboy in the morning-McAboy
TO receive S. and the owner to pay all
costs. This was done and the famous
horse case was at end. But how diff
ferept the proposition made by the
owner of the horse from the one upon
which the case was settled.

OUR CITY's FINANCES.

By the repor: of the city clerk,
which we publish in another column
today, it will be seen that our city has
floating Indebtedness of $i534.09
with $329.S5 cash in the treasury, leav-
ing an actual debt of $l204.24. Con-
sidering the misfortune which our
city sustained on the night of May 20,
1892, when three bridges were washed
out on Spring run and great deal OF
other damage done, this financial
showing is very good. To replace
those bridges cost the city $l023.N
besides the 5000 which was donated by
the county commissioners. Had moi
this extra expense been made neces-
sary the actual Indebtedness would
have been about $1,000 less than 1t is,
or about $500.
1t should be remembered also thai
$500 Of the $500 paid for attorneys
fees was contracted by former adj
ministgations several years ago during
the controversy about the dam aud
water power, leaving only 5000 actual.
ly expended by the present admins
tratiOR for attorneys fees.
If no great mistakes or wild invest.
ments are made by the city fathers
within the next two years our Gil.
warrants ought to be at-par In tina
time.

ATTENTION, EVERYBODY

A number of prominent citizens
have called a meeting for Monday
evening for the purpose of considering
some important railroad propositions,
and if thought best to form Com
mercial Club or Board of Trade to
look after the business interests of the
city. AS the city hall is not in a con-
dition for holding meetings it was
thought best to hold it in the office of
e. w. Daniels, one door south of the
post Office.
Every property owner in the city is
interested in this meeting and should
attend. An electric railway is TO be
constructed from Carthage, Mo-, TO
Galena, Kan, and il may be possible
To secure The extension of this line to
Baxter Springs. Such line would
double our population in one year,
and we could furnish the necessary
power ~ run the whole line at Il small
expense. The Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf road will be extended south
this summer and we should be rep
resented in the contest. We should
also be advertised at the worlds fair.
We should be looking around for
manu- factories; we should advertise
our water power, medical springs aud
other advantages which we possess
and are willing to turn loose on con-
fiding public, and all these things can
be done through the medium of q
Commercial Club.
The Missouri Pacific may be in
duced to extend its line to Baxter If
it can be shown that our traffic is
worth IL and this can he done by a
Commercial Club. Let all turn out
Monday night and consult together as
to the best way to advance the inter-
ests of the city.

SHE CAME TO HIM.

The following appeared in Wednes-
days Kansas City Times:
"a marriage license was issued in
the county recorders Office yesterday
afternoon to William j. Thompson Of
Gloucester, N. j., who gave his age as
q, and Miss Lucy Edna Joli of Brook
Ign, N. j., whose age was given as Is.
They Were subsequently married and
another romance reached its climax.
"Miss Joli is the daughter Of very
wealthy man, and two or three years
ago she met William j. Thompson,
who is the son of the Duke of Glou-
cesier,' owner of the great race track
at Gloucester, n. j. The duke 10 de-
vout Catholic and as Miss Joli was a
Protestant, he considered it injudicious
for them TO marry, so the young lover
was packed off TO the Indian territory
where he has beeI for The past two
years or more. The duke is estimated
to be worth at least $3,000,000. and he
did not desire to leave the bulk OF his
fortune TO recreant boy and told him
so. Young Thompson, good boy that
he thought he was, finally consented
to being eXiled from his love, but the
strings binding the hearts were strong
aud after long correspondence Miss
Joli landed in the Indian territory one
week ago, obedient to her lovers de-
mands.
"But Thompson is as good q Catho-
lie as his father, where love does not
intervene, and he wanted TO be married
by an ordained priest, aud such.a per-
son could not be found in their part of
the territory. The consequence was
that under the tutclage of j. p. Nc
NaughtOn, the big Indian territory
miner, stock raiser and politician, the
couple came to Kansas City yesterday,
where they received license aud were
quietly married during the afternoon.
There was no apparent hurry about
the matter save in the registration at
the hotel, where some hours before
MissJoli became Mrs. Thompson The
legend on the book read, 'Mr. and Mrs.
w. j. Thompson, Gloucester City,
N. ~
"Fhe only remaining incompeted
part of the programme matrimonial
now is the dukes forgiveness, which
will, quite naturally, follow later.
"Mr. and Mrs. Thompson will re-
tarn to the territory some time today
accompanied by j. p. McNau2hton.
All the parties interested live just nine
miles below Baxter Springs, Kan, in
the Indian territory, where young
Thompson is the treasurer Of the Pho
neer Lead and Zinc Mining company.
in the handling of whose finances he
has already established reputation as
a worthy scion of Americas only real
live duke."
