THE CAMP MEETING.

The following with reference to the
big camp meeting to be held here be.
ginning July 90 is from the Kansas
City Journal:
preparations are being made for a
three weeks camp meeting at Baxter
Springs by the Methodists Of the Fort
Scott district, commencing July 20.
The meetings will be under the direc-
ton of Rev. j. E. Brant, presiding
elder, assisted by the well known evan
gelist, a. III. Kaylor. All the pastors
of the Fort Scott district have been re-
quested to take part in the exercises
and the meeting will probably be the
largest and most successful of the kind
ever held in the West. a full corps
of singers has been engaged for the
occasion and the presence OF number
of well known revivalists and evange-
lists is already assured"

TO CARTHAGE FIRST.
Joplin Herald.

Unless Mr.. Wallower and the other
Eastern stockholders in the Southwest
Missouri Electric Railway company
shall object and will it otherwise the
next extension OF the Inter- Urban line
will be made to Carthage. The West
ern stockholders are unanimously in
favor of building the Carthage exten-
sion first, before Galena or Baxter
Springs and their recommendation
will likely be accepted. The gap be-
tween tho Missouri Pacific depot in
Webb City and Carthage is just about
equal 10 the distance between the Club
Theatre in Joplin and the former, so
that IL would require but short time
to build the extension, especially as
the route is excellent for railroad
building.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The Fourth of July has come aud
gone, the small boy and the big ones
too, have had their fun. Early Tues
day morning our people began pulling
out for the celebrations in the Indian
territory-one al the Devils Prone.
made and one at Peoria. Every We.
hicle in town was in use. People came
in fiom the country, from Galena, Col
umbus and other places and stopped
here long enough to stock up with ice,
fireworks, ETC., after which they
started for the scenes Of action. The
Baxter band left for Peoria on Mon
day evening where it furnished music
for the occasion. A big crowd was in
attendance, several beeves were bar
bccued and everything went "merry
as a marriage hell" Early in the
morning, as early in fact as l o'clock,
those having charge of the heavy ex-
plosives began their work by hanging
giant powder in the trees and setting
1t of. The band boys say they got no
sleep Monday night for McNaughton
aud his gang kept their word and
made it shot" for them. a large num-
ber of people from Baxter were in at
tendance. In the evening a grand py-
rotcchnic display was witnessed by
those who had remained. The fire.
works were sent from New Jersey for
the occasion and were said by those
who saw them to be simply grand.
The band boys are loud in their
praises Of the way they were treated
by the managers of the Peoria cele-
bration.
At the DEVILS Promenade an inn
mense crowd gathered to spend the
day. Several beeves were barbecued
in fiue shape, and the program which
had been prepared several days before
was carried out to the satisfaction Of
all. The stamp dances were unusu-
ally interesting, being participated in
by some of the ''palc faces" present
(including g. w. Dan.als and Bob
Sands) as we'll as the red men and
women. These dances were continued
with great enthusiasm all night until
daylight OH the 9TH. A novel feature
OF the entertainment was The dancing
platform constructed on large boat
OH the river, which was conducted
with good order AS soon as the floor
was filed the boat moved out to the
middle of the stream where a splendid
cool breeze was blowing and where
the vulgar bystandcr could not get
near enough TO take part in the fun.
There were several stands on the
grounds and all did good business.
A grand display of fireworks was had
in the evening. The day was intoler-
ably warm, but every body stood the
heat remarkably well.
The celebration at Miami did not
amount to much so we are told.
What few people remained in Bax.
ter devoted their time to keeping cool.
About 9 o'clock there was grand
pyrotechnic display on Military street
which was witnessed by a large crowd,
people having arrived from the terri
tory by that time. Not q scrap or dis
tmbance OF any kind occurred to mar
the pleasure of the Fourth.
