A CITY BOOKKEEpEP,

The recent muddle in the school
district has very forcibly brought
to mind the necessity of system
of bookkeeping for the city. No one
thinks for a moment that anyone
has defrauded the school district,
but il is on account of poor sys-
tenn of bookkeeping. We wouldad-
vocate city bookkeeper. He would
have entire charge of the books OF
the city. The different heads of the
city departments would have a
memorandum book or counter blot
ter and in this they would enter all
the different transactions for the
day, and in the evening, or at the
close of business hours, they would
turn these books over to the book
keeper and he would enter the tran
sactions on the books. The book
keeper would have different set OF
books for each of the different de-
partments, thus: One for the treas
urer, one for the clerk of the school
district and one for the city clerk.
In this way the different depart.
ments would be under one general
system. Let this bookkeeper give a
bond to the city for the faithful per-
formance of his duty and hold him
responsible for the books of the
city. b.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Mrs. Sarah J. Rendel, who died at

was born in DeKalb county, Ind,

Rendel on February IS, 1862. They
lived in Noble county, Indiana, un-
til 1885 when they moved to Chero-
kee county, Kansas, settling on a
farm about six miles northwest of
this city where they resided until a
few months ago, when, on account
of Mrs. Rendel's failing health, they
moved to Baxter, thinking that per-
haps the change from farm life
would be beneficial. The expected
change for the better did not come.
Mrs. Rendel became a member of
the Christian church when q years
of age and was faithful and con-
sistent member up to the time of
her death.
Mrs. Rendel left, besides her hus.
band, two sons and one daughter to
mourn her loss. The daughter re.

We are told that Baxter Springs
has a young lady, beautiful and
fascinating. who takes off her watch
and places it OH the dresser every
time her devoted lover comes, which
is only eight evenings in the week.
Laying the watch on the dresser
saves her little expense she says,
as the crystal has been broken sew
eral times lately and she intends to
avoid il In the future. If the young
man won't stand the cost of new
crystals he should at least be more
careful.

The Baxter correspondent of the
Columbus Advocate says "Constg-
BILE Knapp of Columbus was in our
city Thursday looking after some
of our citizens supposed to be han
ding mild drinks OF course this
is all mistake. The trouble seems
to be that when people from ad-
joining towns visit our city they in
dulge too freely in our great medi-
cal springs water, and it has such
an exhilarating effect on them that
they go away so happy and so loud
in their praises of Baxter that the
officers think they are intoxicated.
II is indeed unfortunate, but Baxter
can't help it because she has the
most wonderful springs in the
West"
