THE BROWNIES AND FAIRIES.

The entertainment given by the
brownies aud Fairies" AT the Bald
win opera house on Tuesday night
of this week was witnessed by a
large audience, and was one of the
incest entertainments ever given in
this city. The proceeds were given
to the Presbyterian Sunday school.
aud the entertainment was gotten
up and managed by Mrs. NJ. ii.
Eastman.
The brownies" were all boys fit
ted out in the peculiar style of cos
tune in which they are pictured.
while the Fairies" were dressed as
fairies should be.
One of the features of the enter
lainment was the skirt dance by lit
tie Allie Edwards. Little Allie was
trained for this dance by Miss Nell
lie Stewart of Webb City.
Mrs. ". W. Jones favored the an.
dicnce with a Welch song and was
loudly applauded.
The children played their parts
well and in a manner that reflected
great credit upon the manager, Mrs.
Eastman.
The evening was Intensely hot
but every seat in the house was oc.
cupied.
The Presbyterian Sunday school
realized quite neat sum OF money
from the sale of tickets.

COULD BE DONE.

We understand the Picher Lead
Company of Joplin is figuring on
making zinc white. 1t has been
making white lead for several years.
Zinc white is superior TO white lead
in every respect for surface work
and is coming into use in some
places. The wonder is that zinc
white has not been manufactured
in the mining district long. ago.
We have never been able to un.
dcrstand why the mine operators of
the big lead and zinc district Just
east of us have stood in their own
light so long. The fact of the mat
ter is that every pound of lead and
zinc ore mined should be made into
the finished product where il is
mined. This thing of selling the
raw product and paying the freight
back on the manufactured product
is the greatest of the many draw
backs the West has to contend with.
The best coal fields in the world are
only few miles from the lead and
zinc district, and il does seem to us
that the ores should be turned into
the finished state where produced.
Coffeyville, Cherryvale, Neodesha
or lola could furnish natural gas
enough TO run white lead works,
zinc white factories and zinc rolling
mills in the mining district, and it
would not be such gigantic un.
dertaking to pipe the gas to Galena
and Joplin for these purposes.
With such institutions as we refer
to Galena and Joplin would soon be
built together and in very few
years would be the biggest manu-
featuring center in the West.
We believe this matter will CON-
mand the attention of capitalists
before long.

THE DAILY NEWS.

The REUNION DAILY NEWS will,
as heretofore, be one of the impor-
tant features of the big reunion.
This will be the eighth annual ap-
pearance of the daily and ii will be
a better paper this time than ever.
An experienced corps of writers
will have charge of the editorial
department and the local columns
will be full of items of interest.
Not less than 25,00O copies of the
paper will be issued this year. The
papers will be free at the office at
Camp Logan, but parties wanting
the paper sent to them, their rela-
tives or friends will be charged the
nominal sum of 10 cents for the en-
tire weeks issue.
The REUNION DAILY NEWS is alb
solutely the best advertising medi-
um in the Southwest. The papers
are kept by the old comrades and
their friends, for in that way they
always have n complete record of
each years doings in Camp Logan.
There is scarcely an old soldier
within radius of 100 miles of Bax.
ter Springs who hasn't complete
files of the daily. Such being the
case, you can readily see its worth
as an advertising medium.
The paper will be printed at Camp
Logan by steam. You are cordially
invited to call on us while attend.
ing the reunion.
Respectfully yours,
GARDNER d SMITH.
