more modern historians, that the crown
was at Mr.. Isaac Inestein's all this
time, whereas the throne, which was
bought on the installment plan, had been
redeemed
Pictures of the crown worn by Edgar
will convince the reader that its re-
demption was no slight task, while the
mortgage on the throne was a mere
bagatelle.
A bright idea of Edgar's was to ride
in a rowboat pulled by eight kings un-
der the old regime.
Personally Edgar was reputed to be
exceedingly licentious, but the historian
wisely says these stories may have been
the invention of his enemies. Greatness
is certain to make of itself target for
the mud Of its own generation, and no
one who rose above the level of his
surroundings ever failed to receive the
fragrant attentions Of those who had
not succeeded in rising. All history is
franght also with the bitterness and
jealousy of the historian except this
one. No bitterness can creep into this
history.
Edgar, it is said, assassinated the
husband of E1frida in order that he
might marry her. It is also said that he
broke into a convent and carried off a
nun, but doubtless, if these stories were
traced to their very foundations, poll
tics would account for them both.
He did not favor the secular clergy,
and they, Of course, disliked him ac-
cordingly. He suffered also at the hands
of those who sought to operate the
reigning apparatus while his attention
was turned toward other matters.
He was the author of the scheme
whereby he utilized his enemies, the
Welsh princes, by demanding 800 wolf
heads per annum as tribute instead Of
money. This wiped out the wolves and
used up the surplus luminosity of the
Welsh.
As the Welsh princes had no money,
the scheme was good one. Edgar died
at the age of 80 and was succeeded by
Edward, his son, in 975.
The death Of the king at this early
age has given to many historians the
idea that he was sad dog, and that he
sat up late Of nights and cut up like

sanctity of law. An acquiescence in
the public laws which the people them

highest obligation OF citizenship and
the chief source of safety to the re-

A TERRIBLE DEATH.

Monday afternoon Alice, the
iive.year.old dumb daughter of
Mrs. Mary Goes, was missing.
Numerous parties searched for the
child in every direction, but to no
avail till 3 o'clock p. M, when Nick
Smith, who was one of the search
ing parties, found the little girl in
the privy vault in the back yard
drowned. Mr.. Smith Immediately
took the body of the child out of
the vault.
From an inspection of the build
ing il would seem that the child
must have went down into the
vault feet or head foremost as the
entrance was not large enough for
her To have doubled through. Less
than u year ago Mrs. Goes lost her
husband. then "a child followed and
now another. Surely her cup of
sorrow is full to OVERLOOKING

EDITORS NEWS: Why is Baxter
Springs one of the livelies towns
in Kansas? Because everybody
patronizes her; her patrons do not
go to other towns and spend their
money and then when they have no
money to buy with come To her
merchants and ask for credit.
Rather than do that they take a
load of wheat. or corn, or hay, aud
sell il for the cash or trad il Tor
what they want aud go hOmc
rejoicing because they have dis
posed of what they had To sell and
got what they needed also. They
can get home paper that gives all
of the late news of the day anG pay
in any kind of farm produce. If it
was not for the Baxter NEWS. how
would the people find out HOY
cheap they can buy flour aud iced
at the Baxter Mill Store at Osborn's
place? The people are getting edu-
Gated. They know better than TO
pay 40c to 60c profit on 100 pounds
of flour and get second grade of
flour for the first. They can see
that there are seven mills repre-
sented here; for what purpose? So
there will be no competition on any
one grade, as they can then say,
"You cannot buy this grade any
where else in this market" Why?
Because no one else keeps that
grade. Now, il one mill makes
better flour than the others, why do
they not all buy of that mill aud
give you the best flour, and not all
buy from different millsr La gen.
eral way person will go into a
store and ask for flour. "Well, what
kind do you wantf" OF course they
want the best and begin to price the
flour, and of course the flour that
is shipped the farthest costs the
most because the freight is added.
Now, who pays the freight, you or
the other man? Now, this is the
custom all over the country. The
people imagine that anything that
is made away from home is better
than the same quality at home. We
knew of man here in this place
who shipped flour here and a few
persons got stuck on il and paid
