SATURDAY, JANUARY 6.
NOW FOR BUSINESS.

The year 1893 has passed. 1t was
"A bad year for business in yeneral'
but we are happy to say that in
Baxter Springs business was fairly
good the entire year. People in
all parts of the United States have
faith in Baxter Springs and in most
of the Eastern cities are men of
means who own property either in
this city or in this vicinity. And
they are going to keep it. too. un-
less they can sell at IA good figure.
and thus make something On their
investment. They know that no
other city i'm the Southwest has the
natural advantages aud resources
that Baxter Springs has aud for this
reason they are content with their
holdings.
The year 1894 bids fair to be n
good one for business all over this
country and the NEWS trusts il will
be.
The people of Baxter Springs
must get down to business now and
make redoubled efforts to bring
this city to the front of the process
sion. Lots Of mo iey will be in
vested i'm the West this year and
our people must see to it that Bax-
ter Springs gets her share. Now ia
the time to strike. The old. but
homely expression should be ad-
hered to that "the early bird catches
the worm"
IL the people of Baxter Springs
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1894-01-06

will get down to business now and
lend helping hand to the Baxter
Springs Board of Trade that insti.
tuition will see that Baxter's in
terests shall not suffer or be neg
lected in the scramble for Eastern
capital. Help the Baxter Springs
Board of Trade. and it will help the
town. and by helping the town you
will be helped.
We must have an electric road
this year and can get it before the
next reunion is held if we hustle.

Olathe Mirror: The Santa Fe, Fort
Scott 4 Memphis and other railroad
companies in Kansas will refuse to
pay their taxes for 1893. claiming
that the assessment made by the
Populist board of railroad asses
sors was illegal in not beilg equal
and uniform with other property in
the state. The roads are n, doubt
correct in pursuing this policy. and
the courts will certainly so decide.
In the meantime. the counties
through which the roads run will
be compelled to do without the rail-
road tax for long time before the
question is decided. which will work
great hardship to many. 1t will
be especially hard on Johnson
county ana she will suffer greatly.
as heretofore the railroad tax has
been more than sufficient to pay
our railroad bonded indebtedness.
So much for the foolish Populist
methods in their unreasonable war
on the railroads of the state. with
out which not nm acre of land in
Kansas would be worth one-fourth
as much as il is today.

Something is wrong with our
laws. Several weeks ago Elmer
Fitzpatrick broke into the black
smith shop of F. b. Fuller on South
Military street in this city and stole
therefrom double-barrel shotgun
which was the property of Joe DEM
niger. who had left it there. Fitx-
patrick. after filing the name off of
the top of the gun and otherwise
mutilating II. took it to Joplin and
sold it to Mr.. Hamm, a second hand
dealer. Mr.. Hamm says Fitzpatrick
told him his mother was dead and
that as he lacked about s. of having
enough money to defray funeral ex-
penses he would sell him the gun
for 81 Mr.. Hamm believed the
story and bought the gun which in
reality is worth SO or 81. The gun
was found in Hamm's store in Jop-
lin and Fitzpatrick was arrested
charged with burglary and larceny
and taken before Justice of the
Peace ed. Hodgkins for prelimi-
nary trial. He pleaded guilty and
was bound over to the district court.
On Tuesday of this week he was ar
raigned in the district court and
when asked the usual question.
Are YOU & lilty. or not guilty." he
replied mot guilty" aud in conse-
quence the taxpayers will have the
costs of an expensive prosecu i'm
to pay. That he is guilty there is
no doubt. and this ia one instance.
ut least. where the jus tee of the
peace should have had the right of
pronOuncing sentence.

he visited this country and became so
deeply interested In tho Salvation

Just Q century ago q grand uncle OF
this noble man, Prince Demetrius
Galitzin, came to this country. He
was Of tho Imperial Guard, and was

Travelled extensively In tho United
