Judging from the hand bills the
Chetopa reunion will be a sort of
religious affair or cross between a
camp meeting and Quaker con-
ference. We quote from the bills:
1.-TWO special features of the Ghetto
pa reunion are the exclusion of
fakirs and all games of chances aud
the grand union service" Won't
that be nice? We are not addicted
to sports of any kind and believe
as rule they are sinful and de-
moralizing, but our reunion would
hardly be what ii is without the
merry y-go-rounds, the hot tamala
men and the double-headed hog
show. All people are not consti-
tuted alike, and while we prefer to
turn our camp fire into Sunday
school OF class meeting, there are
thousands who prefer something
more invigorating. If the Chetopa
people are satisfied with a pump
kin exhibition, experience meeting
and Jim Ludlum we have nothing
TO say, but our reunions will con-
tinue 20 be run on the liberal and
advanced ideas of fun and freedom,
pleasure aud enjoyment, spice and
variety. We endeavor to secure all
the attractions that are going and
those who come to Baxter can al
waye be sure of finding just such
entertainment as their inclinations
follow. Always with due regard
to the laws of Kansas and a clear
conscience. We suppose Chctopa
has no desire for minstrel shows,
theaters, big footed boys, peep
shows. museums, whirligigs, opera
dancers, sword swallowers, rope
walkers, mammoth skeletons, corn
doctors, devil fish, petrified men.
photograph galleries and other so
called fakes, but we continue TO give
them u place on our grounds just
the same. We believe the old CON-
rades come TO Baxter for enjoyment
and the children for instruction,
and we shall try to furnish every
thing in our power in that line.

Crispi's Bodyeuard.

An Italian newspaper has recently published in detail the daily expense in cured by the government in guarding King Humbert's minister of state, which Is probably the first time that un- popularity has been measured by q pecuniary standard.
 According to this paper, Crispi's per son is watched over by two commits saries of police at $1.60 a day, 22 "agents" or detectives, at little over 90 cents a day for each, and two vics brigadiers at 50 cents each. One would suppose from their titles that vice brig adiers would cost money. A carriage at $2. 30 also figures in the bill. The total, reduced to American money, is $26. 10 per day, or $9,526.50 per year. This, however, Is only during the time when the prime minister is in Rome When he travels, the expenses are three or four times as great, which brings the annual amount up to about $12, 000

OH In an Indiana Creek Red.

The drought of the past 13 weeks, un. precedented ill the history of Indiana, has caused q creek near Anderson to go dry. It was noticed a few days since that oil was floating ill a tiny stream down the course. It increased somewhat in volume during 24 hours and has been traced to series of old gas wells. which went dry several years ago. A great deal of fear has been occasioned lest the oil would catch fire The stream is being guarded. The discovery shows the rapid progress with which the h. diana gas belt is turning into an oil field.

CLEvELAND'S KINDNESS.
Re Gives a Helping Hand ts an Apnbi-
 finns Annth.

A gentleman in Baltimore has re- ceived t letter from friend, telling how young man without political in fiuence obtained an appointment as S naval cadet from the president. The in- cident illustrates the manly way Presi- dent Cleveland has of appreciating man liness in others. It also shows that the president, although always busy with the affairs of state. can still find time to interest himself in and sympathize with young men and help them to realize their ambitions when it lies within his power. The father of ths young man who received the appoint ment from the president was chief engineer in the navy and had an excel lent record. He is now dead. Two of the fathers brothers were in the Con- federate service. Here is the young man 8 own account of how he got the appointment:
 After failing to get political inf1u- ence to help me secure an appointment as naval cadet I determined to go to the president myself and personally lay my case before him. All my friends, with one exception, my teacher, Mir Blackburn Of Alexandria, smiled at this plan. He gave me letter to Mir. Cleve- land. 1 went to the White House four times before got into his office. The crowds waiting to see him can only be imagined Finally my name was called, and I entered with about 50 office seek CTS.
 As soon as possible I made my way to MT. Cleveland and told him my name and business. I told him that had no political influence. and that I only had four letters from old friends of my father, and one other from a friend of my own. MT. Cleveland took the let ters, put his hand on my shoulder in fatherly way and said, Young man, I am told that I have no more appoint ments for this year, but will do all can for you. He also said he would see that my papers were filed if would leave them with him. My heart was too full of gratitude for words, but took his big hand and squeezed 1t with both of mine.
 ''Six months passed, and I received an alternate's appointment from the president. This did me no good, as my principal passed the examination and was enrolled. I again applied to the president, this time by letter, and his secretary replied, saying that MT. Cleve- land would do what he could. That was last fall Tn March received my ap- pointment. There never was so happy Q boy as I was when I received that ap- pointment. sixty-eight boys took the examination, and 37 or 38 passed. I was seventh on the list and one of the 15 who passed on the first examination.
 .sThe president understood nay posi- tion and helped a poor boy. I have no politician to thank, but have written to MT. Cleveland, not, however, being able to tell him what feel for him. J

THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

In compliance with the preclama tionof Gov. Calberson, the Texas Leg islature convened in extra session at Austin on the 1st inst. The sole object of this extra session is to pass a law against prize tightiog and thus prevent tbe Coroett-F Fitzsim mons fight that is announced to take place in Dallas on the 31st of the month. Gov. Culberson in his mes sage says;
 The public interest ts require that this exhibition should be suppressed. Discoun 5enanced by Mexsco ano the Territories, ouOlawed and driven fss5n every S1a1e, 1t is proposed to assem- ble horde Of ruffians and gamblers and offer here this commanding in- suit to public decency Against it the instincts and the pride ot the people revolt, aud your prompt and resolute action will spare them the ionominv and shame. It will do another thing. It will recall to the great city of the State, inhabited by a manly and generous and enlighU- ened people, the wholesome and as- suring truth, now obscured by anger and dmisconception, for which it will hereafter thank you, that no part of it's material prosperity, no part of it's social and intellectual aud indus trial progress, no part of it's spIen did destiny, is bound up in an en- deavor to hold within it's limits one of the most disgraceful orgies that ever promised to discredit and dis honor Texas.
 Impelled by a sense of duty to eX ert every executive power to avert this calamity, you have been called in special session, and the responsi- bilitv for the consequences is now divided with you. That you will meet it as becomes the representa- tives of the whole people, anxious and ready to protect the fair name of the State, is not doubted.
 That Gov. Cuiberson expresses the sentiments of most of the peo- pie of Texas in the foregoing para graph is not doubted. That prize fighting has been stopped in most countries, and that arrayed against it are the instincts and pride of the people are true. But the people do not clearly understand just why Gov. Culberson should take upon himself the task of law making. It does seem that making every lawful effort to stop the fight is evidence enough of disapproval. Law or no law, the fights always take place, and the Governor could have saved the people a great expense had he left the matter alone after seeing there was no law touching the case instead of calling the extra session.

Some Famous sapphires.

One famous sapphire was found in
Bengal by poor man who sold wooden
spoons 1t was taken to Europe and
bought by the house of Raspoli at Rome.
Later it became the property of Ger
man prince, who sold it to Perret, a Pa
risian jeweler, for $31, 620 1t was alb
solutely without a bemish and weighed
16 carats. This stone eventually found
it's way into the Museum of Natural
History at Paris. A beautiful star sap
phire is owned in New York, and two
magnificent specimens of this jewel in
possession of Burdett-Coutts are val
ued at $139, 800. Another in the collec-
ton Of Mr., Hope, is called the Mar
velous Sapphire" being blue by day
light and amethystine by night. Among
the crown jewels of Russia is a magni-
tlcent sapphire representing a female
figure enveloped in drapery. The stone
represents two tints, circumstance of
which the artist has skillfully taken ad
vantage, to make the women dark and the
drapery light The most remarkable
stone of this kind is an engraved sap
phire representing a profile of young
Hercules, executed by Cneius. 1t is in
the StroZzi cabinet at Rome.-Jewelers'
