BEST SECTION IN THE WORLD.

The indications all point to a
heavy emigration 10 Southeastern
Kansas this fall, and Baxter Springs
should be prepared TO secure
the cream. The disastrous drouth
which afflicted Nebraska, Iowa and
other Northern states last year is
being repeated in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio this year, and people are
looking for more favored localities.
We can afford to speak with pride
of the advantages of Cherokee
county, where there has not been a
crop failure in fifteen years and
where the only thing calamity howl
ers can howl about is the excessive
rainfall and the low rates of inter-
terest. We not only have big crops,
but our coal, zinc and lead mines
furnish us a home market for al
most everything. There can be no
doubt but the Cherokee county
farmer is the most prosperous on
earth.
Baxter Springs as n business town
is one of the best in Kansas. We
have the finest agricultural country
to draw from and we are surround
ed by the richest mining camps in
the world. As a desirable residence
city and health resort Baxter has no
equal and people who come here
generally come to stay.
We would again call the attention
of capitalists TO the fact that we
need more houses fit for people to
live in. One hundred houses could
be rented to good advantage it we
had them, and there can surely be
no safer investment than residence
property in Baxter Springs. Will
not some one make n move to start
a building boom?

BITTEN BY A TARANTULA.

A little child of Charles Moore,
ten months old, was severely bitten
by large tarantula yesterday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Moore is mining about
two miles east of this city and his
family were camped near by. The
child was sitting on the ground in
the shade when it's mother heard it
cry out, and on looking around she
saw large tarantula crawling on
the side of the child's head. She
knocked it off and it escaped I'M
hurt. II had bitten the child on the
back where its dress was open and
then crawled up to the little ones
head. Mr.. Moore was called and
there being no means OF convey
ance at hand he started to walk to
town with the child, but soon found
a vehicle on the road. The spot
where the child was bitten turned
black in few minutes and within
a short time the poison had formed
a band of black and purple around
the baby's body. The proper anti
dotes were given, and though it was
a very close call, the child was rest
ing easier this morning and will
probably recover.
Little Hazel Gardner, while play
ing near large rock at the front
gate of her home in this city yester-
day evening came very near being
similarly bitten. a tarantula struck
her on the shoulder, but fortunate
iy her clothing prevented it touch
ing her skin and her sister, Mabel,
who was close by, knocked it off
after three or four efforts before il
did any damage. The children
we're horribly frightened and the
tarantula escaped.

It was something of a disap-
pointment that owing to the late
ness of the hour Miss Burress' solo
had to be omitted. Too much praise
can not be given to her for the sue
cess of the entire performance and
the years work of which II was the
result. We are sorry indeed to lose
her from our midst, not only as a
fine musician aud excellent teacher,
but as lady whose social qualities
and personal graces have endeared
her to large circle of friends.
The thanks of the audience and
performers are also due Mrs. Kean
for her generous assistance in max
ing the program success.

A corps of Salvation Army sing
ers have secured the lower room of
Daniels hall opposite the Metho-
dist church for the summer and
will open up tonight in great shape.
Baxter has always been considered
one of the good towns aud not in
urgent need of extreme measures
for the salvation of her people, but
there are quite number of old
timers who cannot be reached by
ordinary means, and to all such we
would recommend the Salvation
Army. The members of the city
council, the school board, the Bax-
ter Whist Club, the joint keepers,
the electric light company, girls
who wear boomers wrong side be-
fore, euchre players and others who
are afraid of creeds and dogma
tiems will find relief and social
comfort at the Salvation Army en-
tertainments. We trust these peo-
pie will have the earnest support of
all our citizens in the church and
out of Il, and that many hardened
sinners may be brought TO repent
ance through their influence. We
understand the combination is a
good one, with an entire change Of
programme every evening.

The action of Governor Watson in

win Make Nevada prosperous.


William e. Smythe, editor of the
Irrigation Age, in the folling inter
view published in the Carson Appeal,
tells why he is visiting Nevada at this
time:
Il am here to see If cannot I'M
load some of the surplus population
of the East onto Nevada. 1 want to
benefit them and you. By bringing
few thousand energetic and indust-
rious families in contact with your
soil l think the very best results will
follow. ... ...
@The cities Of the east contain
thousands of people who lead miser-
able hand to mouth existence. They
are good, industrious capable people
and able to work, but the avenues
of employment are closed. We pro
pose to move them out here where
they can develope new country. We
cannot recommend these people to go
where land is 800 an acre as it is in
California, but we can safely recon-
mend them to Nevada land which is
as good as California land and ten
times cheaper. am one of those
people who believe that Nevada
apples are better than California or
anges.
Everything you raise here will
stand long shipments. You grow hay,
grain, fruit etc., and all took first
premiums at Chicago, and you sur
prised the world With population and
irrigation Nevada ought to be one of
the leading States of the Union. You
can support population of million
people here and it is high time you
found it out.
"But this is the thing you people
have to learn, and that is that the
success of new country's prosperity
is Home Industry spelled with big
capital letters.
"Look at Utah, which hasn't the
natural advantages of Nevada, but it
is way ahead in enterprise. Why?
because Utah man never buys any
thing made outside of Utah if he can
help it, all the money stays at home
and this brings good times.
"Why as I walk along the street l
see at glance why times are hard.
L see wagon loads of California flour
piled up in front of the stores, YET you
have several -four mills here. I see
big invoices Of ham and bacon, and
canned goods. and Utah eggs for sale.
This is what keeps your people poor.
Make your own -four; never eat a
pound of ham or bacon raised outside
OF Nevada; raise your own peas and
beans, for all the canned goods you
buy here would run cannery. Never
touch an egg not laid by a Nevada
hen and presently you will see the
change in the times, the money mar
ket will loosen up and you won't be
growing about the State.".
Il am teaching irrigation to men in
the East. The regular rains are not
80 good as irrigation and they are
finding it out. Give me dry country
where there is water to irrlgate and
there is nothing the soil will not pro.
duce. Nevada has the greatest adj
vantages of soil and climate and il
you want to combine your soil and
climate with population it can be ar
ragged. / am deeply interested in
seeing this problem worked out and
