HAVE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH.


The man who says that the demo.
Gratis have had about all the fusion
they want will not be disputed, no
matter what his political belief may
be. The democrats Of Kansas, a ma
jority Of them rather, fused with the
populists for the purpose Of taking the
state out Of the republican column.
The scheme succeeded, but at what
cost :? There has been wranglc be-
tween the populist aud republican
members of the legislature at the state
capitol which has made for Kansas q
very uuenviable reputation and dam
aged the state beyond computation.
A minority Of the Legislators has at
tempted to rule majority. The con-
stitution does not provide for any such
usurpation of power. The eyes of the
whole country are turned upon Kan
sas aud she is subjected to the closest
scrutiny. Those democrats who fused
with the peoples party and made such
state of affairs possible are sick OF
il. They have had enough of fusion.
The populist members Of the legisla-
turc have shown by their actions that
they do not seem to realize they were
elected to serve tho whole people, but
on the contrary they seem to think
they were elected TO serve the popu-
lists instead. The peoples party will
not get any help from the democrats in
1894. Mark our prediction.

PROSPECTIVE RAILROADS.

1t is Impossible al ms unc 10 pre-.
diet with any degree of certainty what
The chances of Baxter Springs are for
another railroad. Railroad rumors
are in the air, in fact the air is full OF
them, but whether railroad will ma.
terialize or not cannot he said at this
time.
A report is current that the general
headquarters Of the Missouri Pacific
are to he removed to Chriopa, wlirh
in itself is a good Indication that the
Joplin Cheiopa link Of the Missouri
Pacific will be built this year. The
citizens OF Joplin aud Chetopa believe
that il will be built. But II it is built
will il be built through Baxter
Springs? II was said some time ago
that when the link was constructed il
would run ahont Il nile and half 10
the north Of Baxter aud il was also
said that il would run through the
south par, Of the city. BE- that IS il
may, il cannot miss Baxter Springs
very far, hut The citizens Of Baxter
should see 10 il that does not miss
Baxter at all. Would il not be better
To offer some inducemcnt 10 the COM
pany to build through the city than to
sit idly by and see the road run mile
and half to The north OF us! II
seems to us that it would.
Baxter Springs has two elements in
iis composition-ihe progressionisls
and the nOn-progresSionists. The pro-
gressionists are in the majority, but
they have been opposed at every turn
by the other element. 1t is high time
that the non-progressionists were sat
down upon. The policy Of the NRws
Is progress. II the Missouri Pacific
people contemplate building mile
and half to the north Of us would it
not be better to offer them $4,000 or
$4,000 to change their mind and run
through our city? But a proposition
of that kind would be met with Oppo-
s:tion by the non-progressive element.
Will the progressive element put up
with any such OppOsitionT We be.
lieve not. While we have not as much
money invested in Baxter Springs as
some others still IL is our all and we
desire to zee Baxter Springs get to the
front and will do all in our power TO
put her there, the nOn-prOgressive ele-
ment 10 the contrary not withstanding.
But there is another road that is ell
titled to some consideration. 1t is
talked now that the Kansas City,
PiIlsbrrg and, Fort Smith road will
build from Pittsburg 10 Crestline,
few miles north of Us, and from there
hniId a branch line 10 Galena. Crest
line would be on the main line, aud it
is reported here that it is possible the
main line would be constructed south
from there through Baxter Springs
aud on south. If 60. well and COOL.
But the railroad company may ask us
TO vote some bonds. Can we afford TO
do IL? Yes.
The citizens Of Baxter Springs will,
without doubt, have some kind OF a
railroad proposition 10 consider this
spring or summer. Aud in this con-
Rection we would say II a bonus Is
asked give the bonus. Railroads are
not going to kill Baxter Springs.
RAILROADS. are what we want and, raii-

1t is safe TO say that the democrats

ROW AT CORVALLIS.
Two Families Go in for Blood and
Make Business for the Ply
sicians.


A general fight, which terminated In
the shooting Of NJ. w. smith, took
place on the island, three miles south
Of Corvallis Wednesday evening. The
Others implicated in the affair are John
Stahlbuch, Sr, Hermann Stahlbuch,
john Stahlbuch. Jr., Germans, and
Mrs. Smith, wife of the man who was
shot The two families haye been any.
thing but friendly toward each other.
A feud of longstanding has existed.
Smith was in the act of driving q
couple of cows belonging to the Stahl-
buchs from his pasture, when he was
met by the elder of the Germans and q
fight took place In a road on Smiths
land. The two sons Of Stahlbuch hear
ing their fathers cries were soon at the
scene, Hermann with shot gun, (this
being disputed.) 1t is said that Smith
took hold of the gun near the muzzle,
and pushed it aside just as it was dis
charged, the load barely missing him.
In scufiie which ensued the gun be-
came unbritched, Smith having the
barrels in his hands with which he
struck the two Stahlbuchs on their
heads, knocking them down.
By this time the other Stahlbuch ar
rived and was also struck on the head
with some instrument, and In dazed
condition drew his pistol and began
shooting at Smith, three of the shots
taking effect. Parties who were In
hearing distance say that six shots
were fired in all. He was also consid.
erably beaten up about the back. AS
to the result Of Smiths injuries the
doctors are as yet unable to form an
opinion, as none of the bullets have
been located. The three Stahlbucks
are terribly cut about the head, the
older one and Herman being unable t.
be about, while John, the one who did
the shooting, was in town next morn
ing for medical assistance for his father
and brother. He also exhibited an
ugly wound. No one witnessed the
fight only those implicated. A war.
rant was sworn out against Herman
and John Stahlbuch, each, and they
were arrested on charge of an assault
with a dangerous weapon. AS the
former was not able to come to town
and there was no one else to take care
Of his disabled father, he was allowed
to remain home. John was arraigned
before County Judge Hufford and
bound over in the sum of $500 to appear
for preliminary trial set for Saturday
at o'clock. The bond was given

If we are money makers, it is tC

CHINESE FRAGRANCE.
The Authorities Gently Reminded of
Filthy Chinatown.

A sure way to spoil an appetite for
several meals ahead IL a trip through
the alley Ia the rear Of the China dens
on Liberty street.
The foul smell arising from The car
casses dumped into this alley, is only
equaled by the stencil that emanates
from the back doors of the row Of dens
that front on Liberty and State streets.
Ifitis true that this race Of people live
on dead cats, rats, etc., the den must
now have on hand surplus stock in
that line. In this alley, near the tower
of the fire bell, which they are
nov using as a dumping ground for
their surplus edibles, lie number of
putrid carcasses that give rise to an
odor that would do credit to soap
factory.
The writer observed in this alley,
through the sense Of sight, emphasized
by that of smell in two dead cats,
one that has lain for many days
and another that Is swollen to immense
proportions, just nearing the ripening
stage, and if not removed will thicken
the atmosphere around with its odor 10
day or two.
In this same locality Jies a decompos-
ing rat that contributes its share to ex-
cite the olfactory nerves, and to this is
added the fragrance of dead chicken
and odor arising from bones Of meal
that are dumped into the alley with
more or less flesh on them. The idea
one gets of Chinese life at their bach
door Is anything but exalted and the
closer one gets to their dens the more
nauseating the smell.
There is one place on Liberty street
where they never take the trouble Il
carry the slop pals to the back dOol
but empty 1t out at side window where
stands pool of their filth W hich is very
unsightly as we'll as deleterious to the
sanitary condition of the surroundings
The white residents in the neighbor
hood of Chinatown are beginning tt
complain, and they as we'll as the en-
tire population of the city should bt
protected against the filthy habits Of
these uncanny people.
That part of the city known as China
town, centrally located in the Capital
City, is a fruitful source of disease and
moral degradation and Is becoming o
menace to those owing property or do
ing business in that vicinity. Within
easy stone throw are three Chinese oil
Japanese houses of prostitution besides
one conducted by American demi
monde.
Chinatown should be renovated
forcing the denizens to conform to san
itary laws as we'll as moral laws or that
| hole should be depOpulated.
