CUT THEM DOWN.

a law passed by the late legisla-
ture provides plan whereby a
general removal of the high hedges
and destruction of noxious weeds
along the public highway can he
accomplished. According TO its
terms If a majority of the township
boards in the county petition the
county commissioners TO submit to
the people proposition to put the
law into effect, il must be submitted
at general election. If il carries.
then the owner of every hedge
along a public highway will be
obliged TO cut it down to a height
not exceeding five feet, and to de-
stroy the noxious weeds in the road
adjoining his premises. Single
trees not less than sixteen fee t
apart may be left at full height in
the hedge, and any hedge used fer
the protection of an orchard or "a
feed lot may be left standing. All
others must come down. The high
hedges that have outgrown all
proper proportions have got TO be
quite a nuisance in the country.
The people should consider the
matter. and If they think there
should be change, they should so
instruct their township officers

THE BAXTER BoTTLINd co.

Messrs. Gamble, McNally X Seavy
have rented store building in
Baxter Springs and will soon COM
mence the manufacture of all kinds
of pop and soda water from the
famous spring water of Baxter
Springs.
These gentlemen have been run
ming a pop factory in Galena for
two years, but found the water of
Galena too deeply impregnated
with mineral TO make a healthy and
invigorating pop. Upon thor
ough examination and analysis of
the Baxter Springs waters they be-
came convinced that these waters
are peculiarly adapted TO their pur-
poses.
We believe the Baxter Bottling
Company will be a great success
and will soon command the pop
aud soda water trade of this section
of country. Pop made from our
spring water is healthy and safe
drink at all times, and Pops and
pop drinkers should drink no other.

One of the best paying mines in
the camp is owned by L. {. HUFF of
Erie, Pa. and is located on the Ru-
by lease, being part Of the Bo-
nanza ground. 1t was Mr.. Huii's
first venture in mining. He solic-
tied his brother, Arthur l.. Huff. OF
this city, to select lot for him and
let a contract TO sink a shaft. Ar
thur felt dclicacy about assum-
ing the responsibility, but after re.
peatcd requests he selected the lot
and let the contract. AT ~ feet
chunks of lead weighing as much
as - pounds began to be taken out
aud the stuff increased in richness
as the work progressed. The shaft
was sunk TO 3 feet through rich
lead aud zinc all the way from Is
feet aud there is still good stuff in
the bottom. The shaft cost Mr..
Huff $40 for the sinking and he
sold $l0S worth of ore while sink
ing. besides having quite bunch
of stuff left on hand. y drift was
started at about 40 feet aud rhe
mine is making Mr.. Huff the neat
sum of about $3.50 per week clear
profit. The output this week will
be about 20 tons of fine ore, 1900
pounds of lead and 10 tons of good

A CHASTITY FIND.

About 1880 today as J. Il. Pass.
water was leaving his home on
West Seventh street, about two
blocks from Main. he glanced into
a shaft near his house and saw Il
floating object some forty feet be-
low which he took To be the re.
mains of n human, says the Galena
Post of Monday. Passwater called
assistance at once and man low
cred into the shaft and the object
taken out, which was at once rccog-
nized by Thos. Lamar, W. ]. Weens,
VIM. Parnell, Lys Carney and 9TH
ers as the body of Frank Galbreath,
who has been working in this city
for the past seven years or more.
The unfortunate was formerly an
employee of Joe Fahlenback at the
Dutch joe plant, since which time
he has worked on the Kirby for
Carney Il Co. at the Sunilower
Galbreath, as far as can be ascer
tanned, has been in the camp several
months. He has n brother-in-law
who is fireman on the day passen-
ger train on the Memphis under
Ben McCrum.
1t will be remembered that two
weeks ago last Saturday night some
shooting occurred on West Seventh
street. two blocks from Main, To
which the Post called attention. IL
now looks as though this shooting
had something TO do with the death
of Galbreath. as the remains show
that a ball entered the left side
above the hip and another in the
head. The throat of the victim was
also cut. and il looks as though
negro with u razor had been in the
game.
The belief is that the man was
paid of for his weeks labor and
was coming to town when he was
held up, murdered, robbed (of per-
haps - to Sl0l, thrown into shaft,
and discovered today by accident.
The last seen of the man was two
weeks ago last Saturday night, and
the supposition was he had gone
home to Fort Scott ON II visit.
From parties who knew Galbrcath
it is said he bore a good reputation.
and while he took an occasional
drink he never drank to excess.
His brother-in-law on the Mem
phis is Al. Spafford, and the de-
ceased was well known by the Mem
phis employees.
y jury was called to meet nj p.
IN. today and was ordered TO meet
at q o'clock this evening, at which
time the coroner is expected to be
present and an inquest held.
1t is doubtful it the facts in the
case are ever found out, but it is
hoped they will be and the guilty
parties brought 10 justice, for such
actions are serious drawback to
the city. and are much more re-
GREETED than an outright killing on
the street.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails. when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
alternative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison Headache indigestion. constipa-
tion. dizziness, yield to Electric Bitters.

II appears that the railroads are
not only reaching out for passen-
ger business in this district, but
are also grasping tor all the freight
business they can get. AT Galena
there il an immense traffic hauling
ore and coal from and TO the vari-
Gus mines, and in this the Memphis
and Frisco roads have had mo
nopoly. However, the Missouri Pa
cific is planning TO get share of
the business, and il is believed a
coalition will be made with the
Southwest Missouri Electric Rail-
way Company to haul freight cars
over their tracks from Galena 10
Joplin. The matter is now before
the head officials of the Pacific
road in ST. Louis. II they decide
that such an arrangement would be
to better advantage than to build
an extension TO Galena. such an ar
rangement will probably be made.
In that event, either heavy motor
car will be put on to haul the
freight cars or regular steam en-
gines will run over the electric line
tracks, connections being made at
the Pacific crossing southwest of
town. Ii is claimed that the Inter
Urban road bed can be put in con-
dition for heavy freight trains. The
electric line people are already get
ting ready to put in a number of
switches between Joplin and Galena
so there will be plenty of room for
the electric and steam cars to pass.
