A CASE OF INdRATITUDE.

Grip is getting in it's work in and
about Baxter Springs this changea-
BILE weather. The undertaken there,
it is reported. turned out fifteen cot
fins one day last week. Baxter has
about fifteen hundred population.
Joplin has over sixteen thousand
population and the only undertaken
in the city has turned out but two
collins in the past ten days. Joplin,
however, is in Missouri and carries
better grade of goods"
Our readers will understand that
the above, which is taken from the
Joplin News, is a most infamous
prevarication. but it reminds us of
an incident of several years ago:
About 1881 man reached Baxter
Springs in dying condition. He

SATURDAY, JANUARY 81.
GOOD Titles AHEAD.

1t may seem little bold for any
one to make the assertion that there
are good times ahead-not far off,
either-but we honestly believe that
such is the case. Money has been
awfully tight and scarce, is so yet,
but we believe it is getting looser
and more plentiful. Money is no
better than limestone if it cannot be
used, and those fellows who have
their money boarded away where it
does them no good are beginning
to realize this.
1t begins to look as though this
section of country is not going to eX-
perience much winter weather this
season and now while the weather
is nice we should be taking steps
toward securing for Baxter Springs
a lot of that Eastern money which
will be invested in the West the
coming spring. The field in the
West {or the investment of surplus
money is much wider than the field
in the East, and Eastern capitalists
are now beginning to turn their
eyes toward the West.
There is scarcely any doubt that
as soon as the weather opens ~ the
proposed extensions of the South
west Missouri Electric Railway
Company will be built. one of them
TO Baxter Springs and the other to
Carthage.
a bill has been introduced in con-
gress for right of way through
the Indian and Oklahoma Terrific
ries for the Kansas, Miami and
Southern Railway Company, and
the right of way will undoubtedly
be granted. The Kansas, Miami
and Southern Railway Company
will then construct line of road
from Baxter Springs to Miami and
thence westwardly. 1t will in real
ity be an extension of the Memphis.
All these things must receive
proper consideration and the best
way to keep Baxter Springs before
the world is to assist and encour-
age the Baxter Springs Board of
Trade.
Baxter Springs must, however,
have the electric railway and the
best way to get it is to get it. Do
you understand what we mean:

teen minutes at the outside. But
after taking bath and few drinks
of the famous notwithstanding wa
tiers of our medical springs he
commenced to revive and within
ten days filled the position of chief
counter-hopper in one of our big
millinery stores.
This young man remained in BaX-
ter Springs for several years and
actually renewed his youth, so that
when he went from here to Joplin a
few years ago he looked like a
young man of q, robust, vigorous
and in the enjoyment of perfect
health. He so nearly resembled an
Apollo Belvidere in blonde ringlets
that his services were in great de-
mand and for sometime he has
been writing squiblets similar to
the above for the Joplin News.
We are not sure he wrote this
Islander on our health resort, but it
is Islander and a most villainous
one. The fact is we have not had
half dozen deaths in this city dar-
ing the past year and these chiefly
from old age. We do mot know
what the death rate is in Joplin, but
the death rate in Baxter Springs has
been less than eight per thousand
of population for the past ten years.
Thousands of people will testify as
to the beneficial effects they have
received from the use of our waters
and many who came here to die
have gone away entirely restored.
so that we venture TO say Baxter
Springs water has saved almost as
many as Joplin whiskey has killed.
Galena Times: A Topeka coun-
Gilman has resurrected an old stat
ute of the state which provides that
every fire insurance company doing
busint IS in Kansas shall annually
pay into the treasury of each regu-
larly organized fire department an
amount equal to two per cent of the
gross premiums received for the
current year in the town where the
department exists. This law applies
only to companies whose main Of
fees are in states where similar
tax is levied on Kansas companies.
This law has been ignored since
1871. and the insurance commissions
or has been called on to enforce it
and collect the back taxes from
date. 1t is estimated that there is
now due about $2j0,000 on this &C
count. and if it can be collected it
would be fine windfall to the fire
fighters throughout the state. The
most serious question that con-
fronts the authorities in regard to
the matter, is whether the statute of
limitations will act as bar to the
collection of taxes due prior to 1890,
but he is notifying the companies
which come under the provisions
of the act TO walk up to the captains
office and settle.

Wool.

When the tariff law enacted one of the
loudest and most doleful of the calamity howls
the one uttered by the calamity howlers predicting
that the sheep industry was ruined and that sheep
would be of no further except food for dogs;
that sheep would be of such little value that the
sheep-killing dog would become public benefactor
But the howl has died away. the howlers have be-
come quiet the wool spinners starting upagain,
the wool market has become active and the sheep
grower has found out that there san active demand
for wool. of course this is not predicted by
republican high protectionists, and this is only
sample of how false have been their predictions of
the results of the new law.
The Philadelphia Times, commenting on the de
crease of the calamity howl about WOOL says:
There seems to be significant hull in the wool ruin
cry and the wall of distress over the tariff
schedule is no longer even respectable murmur.
OF course there Is cause. When the Mckinley
bill went into effect wool brought Is cents pound
and fell 10 ~ cents inside the first week As the
hockmastefs were not giving away their product
they STOPPED selling, and under the highest pro-
tective tariff ever known found neither market or
buyers The tariffrate makes heavy reductions,
nothing less than 50 per cent and all the way up to
90 Under this tariff last week Ohio wool grower
cents. At Washington, in this state, the wool clip
coFnmands n cents and this in spite of the fact the
Ashington farmers assured that the free wool
MEASURE was their ruin. To top all, Il Monongahela
h instructed its country agents to take up $4,000
pkihnds al 25 cents, where they formerly paid 10.
4is is why the lull in the wool cry has the board.

The Sugar Schedule.
From the Port Tobacco Times.

FROM the fOrt
ID is estimated that the duty levied upon SUI
gar will bring annually into the Treasury
revenue amounting to from $45,000.000 to
$50, 600, 600 This, of course, will come out
of the pockets of the people in the shape of
the increased cost of sugar. Under the oper-
alton of the Mckinley law no revenue at all
came into the Treasury from sugar, but, on
the other hand the sum of So, 000, 900 was
annually paid out to the producers of domes-
tic sugar as the bounty of cents pound al
lowed to that class of citizens on their pro-
duct.
Some of the Republican papers and some
poorly informed Democratic papers have put
forth the absurd statement that the cost to the
people under the new law of the sugar they
use will be the difference between SIS, 000,-
900 and $50, 0O0, 900 or about $38, 600, 900.
This, as we have said, is perfectly absurd.
The So. OO0, 600 of saving to the Treasury
must be added to the $50, 000, 600 of incoming
revenue to show exactly what is saved to the
people by the sugar schedule of the new law.
The absurd pretension that we have re-
ferred to is based on the idiotic assumption
that the Government does not need any rev.
enue. But the Government does need and
must have a large revenue to keep its machln-
ery going; and if this revenue was not paid
upon sugar, it would have to be paid upon
some other article of necessary consumption.
Hence, while the annual consumption Of SUI
gar in the country under the new law will take
ont of the pockets of the people on that spe-
cial account $38, 900, 600 more of money than
they paid under the Mckinley law, when SUI
gar was on the free list; yet it will really effect
a saving to the people of about $62, 900, 600 a
year, being the $4,000, 600 of necessary rev.
enue il annually brings into the Treasury,
plus the ST., 900 of unnecessary and un-
constitutional expenditures for bounties which
il annually cuts off.
These are facts which everybody ought to

Cheaper Living.

The New York World, October 18TH printed care
fully prepared tables showing the reductions in
articles of general necessity by comparison ofwhole
sale prices this year and the corresponding time last
year. The World says:
1.-THE tables we present to-day show that the cost
of living under the Democratic tariff is less by from
10 to % per cent. than it year ago under the
Mckinley tariff That is to say, dollar now will
buy of the necessaries of life about much S10

at a sacrifice to save themselves from bankruptcy.
at costs less to build house than it did then
II costs less to carpetand furnish it. And when you
come to live in it it costs less to buy your canned
vegetables fish fruits and meats your kitchen uten-
sis, your hardware, your clothing, your tinware
your butter cheese eggs, shirts, drawers, sheets,
towels rope Irvine, oils, paints and pretty nearly
everything else that enters into daily The facts
and figures are all given in detail In the tables else
where printed
These are the results of tariff reform. They are
concessions wrung by Democratic legislation from
the trusts which had conspired under the Mckinley
law to extort as much as possible from the neeessi
ties of the people.
"Thisis protection to American labor of genu-
inc sort 1t protects the people from robbery and
extortion at the hands of the conspirators who
dictated the Mckinley schedules for their own bene
fit.
''Your dollar is worth more now than it was
year ago because in the meantime a Democratic
Congress has repealed a tariff law which made the
trusts masters of markets and licensed them to
levy tribute upon the people"
