On the 4th day of January, 1891,
the Topeka Capital lpnbiished the
following: "The Capital wishes to
8 nd a short message to congress.
IL will be brief, but important TO the
West. 1t is this: Stop your windy
speeches about the election bills;
pass the Plumb measure for the
free coinage of silver and give the
country one or two hundred mil
lions of paper money. 1t is not as
long as the presidents message,
but II will do the country and the
Republican party more good, If
acted upon, than dozen messages
like the last one. The West and
South are growing very tired of
seeing the money influences of the
East stop the promised financial
Legislation" The Capitals finan-
cial editor is the same man now
that he was then. But now the Cap
ital is bowling for the gold stand.

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy was used with per-
feet success. Dysentery, when cpl
demic, is almost as severe and dan
gerous as Asiatic cholera. Hereto
fore the best efforts of the most
skilled physicians have failed to
check it's ravages; this remedy,
however, has cured the most malig-
nant cases, both of children and
adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves 1t to be
the best medicine in the world for
bowel complaints. For sale by

Why do the friends of the single
gold standard say that silver has
gone down in price? Why is it not
as reasonable to say that gold has
gone upr They speak of the silver
dollar az fifty-cent dollar. Why
not say that the gold dollar is tw o
hundrcd-cent dollar? That is just
what it is. 1t was the policy of this
government, from the establish
ment of its monetary system, in
1852. to the year 1873, a period of
eighty. one years, to measure the
value of gold by the silver dollar.
In 1873 silver was demonetized with
out the consent of the people, in
obediedce to the suggestion of
English capitalists. When General
Grant signed the bill for the demon
citation of silver he did not clearly
understand what he did. He said
afterward that IL he had known that
the bill was for the demonstration
of silver, he would not kave signed
IL. Justly, the silver dollar is the
unit of valus measure. By II as the
measure gold has gone up one hum
dred per cent, as the result of the
legislation of the Republican party,
and this is the greatest factor
among those which have operated
to make times harder and harder
since the panic of ls7s.-Galena
Times.

THE RAINS.

Never were rainfalls more cor
daily received than those which
fell in this city and vicinity Sun
day morning and Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings. No rain
had fallen for 2S days and the in
tense heat of the three weeks end
ing Saturday night had literally
baked everything. Then the reun-

hadn't rained the dust would have
been awful. But now all is
changed. The sweltering hot
weather has been changed to cool
and pleasant and the dust's name
was changed to mud by the rains.
The grounds at Camp Logan viii
be kept sprinkled next week and
oh, what reunion we will have.

WAXING WARM.
Miss Silence Leads, With Mr.. Jones
Close Second -- Miss Paul
Makes q Small Gain.

The contest for the one.year
scholarship in the normal depart
ment of the Baxter Springs Normal
and Business College, which the
NEWS proposes To give 10 the young
man or young woman having the
largest number of votes on Thurs
day, September 10, 1895, at II o'clock
m, is growing interesting. II lisa
most laudable effort that is being
made for this scholarship. The
Baxter Springs Normal and Busi-
ness College is acknowledged by
all to be one of the best institutions
of learning in the West. For proof
that il IL among the best we cite
you to the fact that no student of
this college has yet failed TO pass
the county examinations.
The proposition the NEWS has
made is certainly liberal one.
Somebody is going to get that one
year scholarship for nothing.
There are four candidates in the
field, but we give only the three
having the highest number of votes
at the time of going to press. The
vote so far is as follows:
Miss Clara Silence. ..... 1890
Claude Jones. ........... 1902
Miss Nellie Paul. ...... 900
Following are the terms and con-
ditions of the contest:
Every new or old subscriber to
the NEWS will be given 30 votes
for each dollar paid OH subscrip.
ton, the votes To be cast for some
young man or young woman. The
party having the highest number
of votes September 10th will be
given one-year scholarship in the
normal department of the Baxter
Springs Normal and Business Col.
lege. Following is the form of
ballot:
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1896-08-22

Cut out this ballot and send il or
bring il to the NEWS Office with one
dollar TO be applied on subscrip-
ton. The vote will be announced
from time to time and the final
count will be made when the polls
close on the evening of Sept. 10.
Here is a chance for some young
man or young woman to get a good
education free gratis for nothing"
Work for il. The scholarship is
worth $35 if paid in advance, or $40
if paid in installments. Isn't it
worth trying for?
The contest is now open. Some
body pay up and start the ball to
rolling.

EVERYTHING READY.
Arrangements All Completed for the
Fifteenth Annual Interstate
Reunion.
EVERYBODY WILL BE HERE.
Twill be the Biggest Ever Held In
the West.

Everything is now ready at Camp
Logan for holding the Fifteenth
Annual Interstate Reunion.
Everything is better arranged thar
ever before and the rains this week
assure bigger attendance than
ever.
Camp Logan has received such a
cleaning and overhauling as would
make blue grass lawns turn green
with envy. Barrels have been put
at convenient points for all slop,
plenty of hydrants have been put
in at different points, the water sys
tenn has been improved, and in fact
everything will be in A No. shape
when the big reunion opens next
Monday morning.
A regular army of stand men is
at work putting up their places OF
business and another army is at
work putting up about 1,5O0 tents
and plenty of barracks. Plenty of
hay, straw and wood have been
placed at convenient places for the
old comrades. and when they roll
into Camp Logan they will find
everything in readiness to receive
them.
All the speakers advertised will
be present, and we understand at
this writing that there is proba-
bility of Thomas b. Reed of Maine
being here. Cleveland, Hoke
Smith and Lochren will be con-
spicuous by their absence, but il is
now believed they can be spared.
Everybody else, however, is coming
to the big reunion this year. You
are, too.

NUMBER 2b.
WATERMELONs.

The NEWS IL indebted to Mr..
W. n. Stowell for a few of the larg-
est aud best watermelons ever seen
or raised in this section. Mr.. Stow
ell planted threc-fourths of an nc g
to melons this year, and up to date
he has picked aud marketed about
two hundred dollars worth, aud he
has just commenced to gather the
crop. The melons are of the Joe
Johnson. Sweet lceing and Cuban
Queen varieties. Over eight hun
dred of them have been sold in this
city by Dent & Son and about as
many more have been sold in Gale
ma, Empire City and Columbus.
His mode of melon culture is as
follows: First cover the ground
with good coat of well rotted ma
nure, then plow it under deep and
harrow well. The seed is planted
sometime between the last of April
and the 10th of May. from four to
eight seeds in hill, and the hills
are eight feet apart each way. The
ground is then kept in good condi-
ton by cultivation. When the vines
begin to run they are laid together
until the middle of June, when they
are allowed to spread out and run
at will. Mr.. Stowell says that any
body who has a rich sandy soil can
raise good melons by adopting this
mode of culture.

An exchange tells how two
tramps in neighboring town hit
upon novel plan TO get some
whiskey. They went into saloon
with a gallon jug and had it filled
with liquor and offered dollar in
payment. OF course the bartender
refused to accept the money and
emptied the liquor back into the
barrel and the tramps took the jug
and departed. Later they were seer
to break an earthen vessel over a
stone and squeeze out over a pint
of liquor from the sponges which
had been placed on the inside.

Many of the big producing mines
at Galena and Empire City shut
down last Saturday night, throwing
hundreds of men out of employ

zinc ores caused the cessation of
work, and il is said many more
mines will be shut down before
long. The mining district is now
in harder straits than for years.
