THE COLUMBUS SCANDAL.

The facts in the social scandal at
Columbus. mention OF which was
made in last weeks NEWS, have de-
veloped and are very sensational, to
saw the least. The business affairs
of L. L. Doubleday brought on the
scandal and when the bank OF Kit
ter x Doubleday was placed i'll the
hands of a receiver OF the sth inst.
the facts came out. The bank re-
sumed business on January 2 after
"a suspension of almost six months.
having closed it's doors on the 18th
of last July. l.. l.. Doubleday was
manager of the bank at the time
and at "a meeting of the depositors
he. together with his partner, were
chosen assignees to straighten out
the affairs of the bank and so well
were matters attended to that the
re-opening on January 2 was the
result. Since that time the conduct
of Mr.. Doubleday has been such
that Mr.. Ritter believed the affairs
of the bank were not safe in his
hands and he accordingly asked
that receiver be appointed, which
was done. The affairs of the bank
are i'm such condition. however,
that all creditors will be paid in
full.
Doubleday is also largely inter
ested i'm the Columbus water works,
for which we understand a receiver
will be appointed.
Doubleday is a wealthy man, be-
ing the owner of a large amount OF
property in different places. He is
a man of culture. education. has ex-
ceptional business ability, is agree
able and fairly good looking. With
his beautiful wife and two pretty
little girls he has resided in Column
bus for a number of years, where
all was peace and happiness until
he became infatuated with woman
named Birdie Burton, who has been
twice married. and whose maiden
name was Birdie Willis, daughter
of druggist of Columbus and OF
good family. She is pretty, shapely,
and judging from Doubleday's
downfall, must be very fascinating.
Relations between this woman and
Doubleday have existed, it is said.
for several months, and it is strong
ly asserted that they have been
criminal. 1t is said that Doubleday
has spent large amount of money
on her during the past few months
and that of late they have made no
effort to hide their guilt. They de-
clare their guilty love and swear
that nothing shall part them.
Friends of bvth have endeavored
to avert the ruin which awaited
them, but in vain.
1t is understood that Mrs. Double
day will sue for divorce and let
Doubleday enjoy his FOOLS para
disc. The woman i'm the case is
quite well known in this city.

THE chsutauqua Circle.

By request the Chautauqua Circle
met at the home of Mrs. l.. ID.
Brewster on Saturday evening, Feb.
10. The president and vice presi-
dent both being absent, Mr.. Schmuck
was elected president pro. tenn. AL.
though the night was dark and
sickness in the community caused
the absence of some members, yet
the evening was most enjoyably
spent.
As the minutes of the previous
meeting could not be read on &C
count of the absence of the secre-
tary, the president suggested that
the minutes as they appeared in the
BAXTER SPRINGS NEWS be approved.
The suggestion was endorsed by
the Circle.
Miss Winters read chapter on
"Roman and Medieval Art and
Miss Pearl Schmuck read an essay
on the same subject. Each was APP
preciated. ne, d,
"Village Life in Switzerland had
been assigned to Mrs. Ira c, Perkins,
but as she was absent it was read
by the president.
"How Not to Help the Poor had
been assigned to Mr.. Schmuck and
as he never fails when on duty, fur
nished full and lucid analysis of
the subject.
"Charlemagne" was the theme as
stoned to Prof. Noble. The profess
sor had prepared a map of Western
Europe. which enabled the Circle
TO view the field of labor of his hero.
He stated that the period of the
Ozark Ages" extended from the fall
of the Roman Empire about 40 TO
the capture of Constantinople by
the Mohammedans about 145O, a
period of thousand years. 1t was
I'm the darkest hour OF the dark
Ages" when Charlemagne appeared
OH the stage of action. From his
map the professor showed the early
home of the Saxons, who conquered
and re-peopled England and gave
the name of Anglo-Saxon; also the
people that have since formed the
backbone and culture OF the Ger.
man Empire. He then described
the conditions and nature OF the
Saxons, the conquests which re-
ouired thirty-three years, and the
education of that wonderful people.
He spoke briefly of his hero's cam
paign against the Lombards in
Northern Italy and how the hero
was crowned King by the Pope on
Christmas. He then described ms
character and gave as his place in
history, the greatest ruler during
the Ozark Ages" Prof. Mobiles eff
fort was the browning literary exer-
else of the evening.

ried OH Sunday, March 2. 1884, to L. c,
Jones and together with her hus-
band and family had lived in this
city and vicinity continuously ever
since.
Mrs. Jones was the mother of six

Baxter Beats Oalena.

After considerable sparring and
desultOry correspondence the Bax-
ter and Galena whist clubs came
together in Galena Thursday night
and the Baxter gentlemen quit the
game winners by four points, as
follows:
Table No. /, consisting of +. b.
Schemerhorn and X. Wingert of
Galena against Chas. F. Noble and
c. w. Daniels of Baxter, the score
was: Baxter 10, Galena 1913.
Table No. 2, A. NJ. MCPHERSON and
James Boice of Galena against b.
w. Patton and Ed. Seaman of BaX-
ter, the score was: Baxter 165, Ga
lena 1853. E. st. Geo. Noble and c. l..
Sawyer scorers. E. Simmons i'll
charge of the arnica.
We have never for moment lost
confidence in the Baxter Whist Club
and although the Galena gentlemen
are fine players and have had long
and wide experience science will
tell over the crude Ashantee or
Matabela methods, and we knew
Baxter would come out victorious.
Weldy may come out in his paper
with different version of this af-
fair, but the cold facts remain and
figures won't lie.
Our boys were cordially received
and handsomely entertained, both
at the club room and at the other
place, and have arranged for a
meeting at Baxter at an early date,
when Galena may have an opportu-
nifty to restore her reputation as a
whist town.

Trouble In the Family.

A row has occurred in the family
of John Armstrong, the barber, and
his wife has taken her child and be-
longings and goue back to her par

in an intoxicated condition, that he
associates with lewd women and
that on one occasion when she asked
him about it he choked her. She
also says he did not provide for the
comfort of herself and child, as he
