line dividing Kansas and the terri.

along that the true border line
dividing the territory and Kansas
was the line now known as the Che
topa wagon road between Baxter
Springs aud Chetopa; that the line
as now established was brought
about by some town speculators
who wanted to include Chetopa,
Baxter Springs, Coffeyville and
other points within the Kansas ter
ritory. 1t 10 claimed that they
induced the surveyors to 90 away
over into Missouri and by some
hocus pocus establish starting

the Indian Territory into Kansas
and thus include these towns on
the border in Kansas where town
lots could be disposed Of, or put on

is hardly probable that the present
line dividing Kansas and the terri
tory will ever be disturbed, but If il
should, what racket il would
create at Baxter Springs and along
the extreme southern border of this
county. With the exception of n
few scattering houses in the north
end of town, Baxter would all be in

ADVERTISING FOR FARMERS.

While waiting at country
station became acquainted with
quite an intelligent, nicely dressed
gentleman who belonged to that
class which, according to the funny
newspaper, is the natural mark for
the confidence man. During our
conversation he learned that i was
connected with the advertising
department of the press.
~ believe in advertising" he
remarked, "and practice 1t, as also
do several of my neighbors."
The possibility of farmer
advertising had never occurred to
me, and upon expressinga
curiosity to know in what manner
farmers could advertise, he said:
IL live in one of the best counties
in Kansas. where / own and till u

all kinds of grain I raise both hogs
and cattle. live within
convenient distance of three
railway stations, each having stock
dealers and grain buyers. When |

and, if stock. when it will be ready
to go. Then, instead OF being
compelled 10 go from one dealer 10
another in order to receive fair
price. they come to me, and by mail
and personally put price on it.
The buyers know my methods, and
also know that other dealers are
after me. and as a consequence they
bid the highest price they can
afford. ! always get the best
prices going, and my little outlay
in advertising pays me. Then

BAXTER SPRINGS, Feb. 3. 1896.
EDS. NEWS: Up to date l have
been in favor of a gold standard,
but recent events have demonstra-
ted the fallacy of trying to keep up
our credit aud pay our debts on
that basis. Europe is constantly
draining us of what little gold we
have in sight and while we may
continue TO sell bonds To keep up
the reserve there must be an end
sometime.
If we are busted nation, why
not make the assignment now. and
Iiauidate with tifty.cent silver dol
lars? Why prolong the agony and
crafty the wishes of the pawn
brokers. So long as our expendi-
lures are greater Il an our incomes,
our imports greater than our
exports, there can be no hope for
the debtor class or the property
owner. With short crops and low
prices for all farm products the
farmer who farms his farm is a
gone sucker and the shylock who
farms the farmer on gold basis
will get the farm. Merchants, man.
ufacturers and show people are but
little better off than the farmer aud
are beginning to open their eyes to
the fact the business of the country
cannot be done with gold unless
there is more gold to do it with.
Assignments and business failures
are become too frequent and all
look TO the future with apprehen-
sion and doubt.

coinage of silver will afford some

paper money with one dollar as
good Tor BETTER than another" won't
do. We can have but one standard
of money and declare for silver.
Our politicians are trying TO
straddle the issue, but that cat
won't perform any long r. The
people who vote are decided on this
question and the man who attempts
to evade the issue will fail in the
nomination and election. If our
leaders haven't made up their
