We think it is foolish for merchants

hard times. but it is none of our
business as we collect all bills

Hundreds of tons of straw are
baled and shipped to Northern pa
per mills. Why not secure Il paper
mill for Baxter Springs: You say
the paper mills are all in the COM
bination or trust and no new mills
can be started without the consent
of the combine" But we might
present our situation to the boss of
the trust and put our mill in with
the rest. We have very superior
facilities for manufacturing paper
and an abundance of the raw mate
rial going to waste, and we believe
if the facts were known some enter
prising individual would put i'll a

We notice there is more of a dis
position to SOW tame grasses in

in Eastern states pays better than
any other and it is more certain than
grain. Every farmer ought to have

patch of blue grass for winter. Our

A hotel building is needed in
Baxter Springs and needed badly.
We ought to have an opera house,
but hotel is needed more than
anything else. Strangers who come
here are surprised To find we have
no first class hotel. There is hardly
"a town in the state but has AT least
one first class hotel building, and
few, towns of this size are better
able to support one. n moderate
sized hotel would pay well, and our
local capitalists should consider the
matter without delay and if possible
join together and build one that
will be credit to the town.

BURGLARS ABROAD.
The Reynolds Residence Robbed Last
Night

The Reynolds Residence Robbed Last
Night
Burglars forced their way into the
REYNOLDS residence on Moline avenue
some time last night, and ransacked
it thoroughly, though how much was
stolen cannot be determined. En-
trance was gained by raising win
dow on the east side of the house that
leads into the dining room. The en-
tire house except the two rear rooms,
which were locked, was gone through,
and every nook and corner where
iewelry or silver would be apt to be
found were peered into. In the dim
ing room small safe was broken
open and its contents strewn about
the room. Every drawer up stairs
and down was pulled out and the con-
tents emptied upon the floor. Many
articles of value were passed in the
hasty search. it being apparent that
the burglars were after money or
iewelry. Henry Frohboes, who has
charge of the house during the alb
scence of the family, is not enough
acquainted with the articles of value
in the house to know Just what is
missing. An overcoat belonging to
the late Z. 7. Reynolds was taken
and a large frame containing large
collection of old coins and script was
broken and the money taken The
gold head was also broken off fine
cane and probably every article in
the jewelry line that could be found
was carried off. Candle drippings
cover the floor and halls and from all
appearances the search must have
consumed a long time so thorough
was it in every particular,

POPULAR WITH ALL GLASSES

The sentiment with which the Demo-
cratic Nominations Were Met All Over
the City Yesterday-The Masses of the
People Demand iedilI and VIII see that

1t IS doubtful if it ever occurred
before in Rock Islands history that
the results of convention created
such an impression on the commu-
nitv as that which the ticket which
was the outgrowth Of Thursday even
mos democratic convention made in
Rock island yesterday, meeting such
a strong feeling of appreciation with
the party responsible for it. and the
people at large on the one hand. and
attended by such CONSERVATION in
the little ring that is running things
on the other side. That the choice
of the democracy brought a stagger-
inc blow to McConochieism and its
few sympathizerS. was as'apparent as
it was that the democratic party had
forestalled itself for the impending
conflict with candidate who viii

the face of any opposition that could
possibly be concocted.

In striking Contrast.

Within the ranks of the
latter party it is doubtful if the city
ever witnessed more desperate
fight than that which has been carried
on by the two candidates for the
mavoral nomination. Mr.. McCOno-
chic on the one hand has resorted to
every trick and strategy known to
politics. to win a denomination. be-
sides throwing into the contest every
advantage possible as an official,
while his opponent has worked early
and late begging and imploring the
party leaders for the recognition
which McChonochie'S treachery had
denied him. With Schroeder he has
made the effort of his life to crafty
the ambition of his life.

Mr. Medill on the other hand has
been sought out for the nomination.
Until formally nominated he pre-
served the proper dignity with refer

should seek the man rather than the
man the office. Once selected and fully
realizing and approaching the honor
conferred upon him in being named
for so high an office, he will spare no
honorable effort to show that he is
worthy of the trust that the demo-
Gratis have ALREADY reposed in him. and

he has been nominated.
