AMERICAN APPLES WANTED.

A Washington dispatch says
United States Consul General De-
Kay at Berlin says there is de-
mand in that country for good,
sound American apples, but no
supply. This is indeed good news
to American apple raisers in view
of the fact that everything bids
fair for good crop in this country
this year.
General DeKay says fruit grow.
ers should pack carefully the kind
of apples that remain solid many
months and firms should keep
themselves posted as to the needs
of German commerce and, by the
exercise of intelligent, faithful
care, establish and keep up steady
connections. Apples at retail bring
very high prices in Germany dur
ing the winter months, and there
would be n good demand for dried
and preserved fruit.

. The young ladies who are wait
ing for chance to avail themselves
of the leap yearprivileges will be on
the lookout as the opportunities in
the next decade will be few. 1896
is not only the last leap year of the
century, but it is the last one until
1901. The rule adopted in the Julian
calendar provides that every year
that is Invisible by four is leap year
except the year beginning a cen
tury, when it must be Invisible by
400. Hence. 1895 vi l be leap year,
but 1900 will not. The man whose
birthday comes on February 20 will
not have another opportunity to
celebrate his birthday until 1904.

COLLEGE NOTES.


Saturday for n visit, return
ing Monday.
Mrs. Lloyd went TO Webb City
Friday TO recuperate from her late
illness. and to pay her parents a
visit. She returned Monday.
The following resolutions were
unanimously signed by the stu
dents and presented to Prof. Bow
man on Thursday morning. The
with which the many
students signed the resolutions was
indeed surprising. and shows how
much they appreciate the very good
work that has been done in all the
different departments of the school
during the past three terms:
BANTER SPRINGS. HAS, April 9, 'o5.
We, the undersigned students of the
Baxter Springs Normal and Business Col
lege, desire to express our appreciation OF
the work done in this institution. Excel
lent work is done in all the departments
and entire satisfaction has been given.
We heartily recommend the school to any
one desiring to enter a school where he or
or she can get honest and thorough work.
Prof. Bowman was taken by sur.
prise rs this was gotten up entirely
by the students. In neat and ap
propriate speech he thanked us for
our manifested interest taken in
the school.
This week closes the third term
of school. There are several of the
students who will leave at the end
of the week. We can say for them
that we are all sorry to lose them
from amongst us, but wish them
success in their different fields OF
labor, and hope they may prosper.
Several new students are expect
ed TO enter next Tuesday, the begin
ming of the fourth term.
We were all gladdened Tuesday
evening by the sight of Mr.. Cla'
renee Hitchcock, one of our former
students. He informed us that he
will probably attend our school
again next year.
Miss Della Nichols paid her pa
rents n visit last week.
Miss Annie Cravens was home
for visit last week.
DIR. l.. ii. Moore and Miss Kate
Burress were in the county seat on
Tuesday evening. This begins to
look suspicious, but they just went
to hear Gen. Gordon's speech-so
they say.
Examination is the order this
week so we must of course be care
full not to talk to anyone-abou'
our work.
Mr.. Will Gaba is once more a
student at the College. We are glad
to have him back.
Miss Mollie Garrett spent Tues
day and Wednesday with Miss Ra'

-Messrs. Catlett and Jones of Co,
lumbus were visitors last Saturday
afternoon.
The literary society held very
interesting meeting last Wednes'
day evening. The moot court lin
place of debate) was very laughable
at times and the amount of legal
talent displayed by the attorneys
was very surprising. There is q
movement on foot to have the soci
ETY. incorporated by the state. This
would be a good move and would
benefit the society a great deal.

The action of the city council
Tuesday night in instructing the
city clerk to notify the Baxter

to run all night or shut the lights
off entirely was what has been ex-
pected by many tor some time.
The ordinance granting the COM
pany franchise does not specify
ut what hour the lights shall be
shut off aud is of necessity an i'm
piled provision that lights are to
be furnished all night. An excess
sively high all night rate is charged,
yet the lights are shut of ut IL
o'clock. In neighboring towns in
candescent lights are furnished all
night at 40 to % cents each per
month, but in Baxter Springs %
cents is charged for lights until
midnight. 1t is hoped this matter
can be settled without the expense
of lawsuit, but something must
be done.

SUGAR AS IT'S ,MPoRrsu.
Statistics owl tho Heavy shipment,

STATISTICS showing the Heavy
Received at Principal American Cities,
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Mr. Worth.
ington c. Ford, chief of the bureau of
statistics, gives out the imports of sugar
for the month of May 1895, the total
quantity imported at the five ports Of
New York, Boston, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and San Francisco. were $780,
697,5 500 pounds, valued at $40, $50, 434.
These figures represent a very heavy
import. While the tariff act of 1894
was before congress-. the im~portations
were greatly stimulated by the uncer.
tainties of the duty to be levied on su.
gars, the highest figures in the history
of the country were touched. In March
1894, the imports were 89t, 339, 1875
pounds, and in July of the same year
766, GAG, $50 pounds. If the monthly inn
portations be examined as far back as
January 1898, it would be seen that in
no single month prior to March 1894,
had tho imports touched 500, 600, 900
pounds. The returns of May, 1865. are
heavier in quantity than the imports in
May of any previous year and had,
therefore, been counted as breaking
the record. The values still rule very
low. In June 1894 an importation of
52l, 87s, 600 pounds was valued at S13,
ITS, 1853. The greatest import of May
1895, was valued at &c. s9, 434, or near.
ly IS, 900, 900 less.
