THE ELECTRIC ROAD.

Speaking of the proposed electric
line, the Joplin Herald says:
ut IL almost a dead certainty that
the road will be built, as II would
be sure of nn enormous patronage
from the start, and during the week
of the reunion at Camp Logan the
road would harvest small fortune
for the stockholders.
ut is unlikely that there will be
any opposition in Galena to grant
ing franchise, as in addition to
the trade that would come to Gale
ma from Baxter Springs, il is I'M
derstood that the road would also
go TO Empire City and Cave Springs,
which would give Galena the trade
from these two lively camps, and it
is not likely that there will be any
kick from Baxter Springs, as the
immense popularity of that place
as u summer resort would insure
big crowds from Joplin all the time
us well IA from the cities situated
directly on the line of the road.
1.-THE people of Galena and Baxter
will miss good thing if they fail
to push the scheme aud build the
road with all possible vigor and
energy"

Electric Bitfers.

Electric Bitters is 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 a 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-
ton. dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

QUAKER VALLEY FIRE.

Sunday morning al j O'clock YIN.
Lawrrnces barn was struck By
lightning and burned 10 the ground.
Barclay Bond, who occupies the
premises, was on the ground ut
oncc and saued his teams. harness
and few other things. Some hay
and grain was lost. The insuran e
will probably cover the lumber bill
for a new building.
Mr.. Bond is poor man and i'll
luck seems in his pathway. He was
thrown from wagon year ago
breaking an arm and manning him
for life. Last year he planted straw
berries extensively and his patches
were as fine as the Valley affords,
when n week ago they all blasted,
leaving him in debt for a quantity
of boxes and crates. He then re-
solved to sell the material, but be-
fore he could do so the straw that
broke the cainel's back was laid on
and the material went up in smoke

months The opponents of the commission
will be all the more determined now in
their efforts to impeach the commission
ers and to Gust them from their Offices
along with the fire chief.
Foreman Murphy who was discharged
last night, has for a long time been con-
sdered one of the best men in the service,
and by many he is considered the best.
His good work has won him many friends
among all classes, and it is safe to say
that he will not be long out of a job If
he wants one. His discharge will be re-
gretted by many who were partisaus of
neither political faction. Firemen Flynn
and Henderson are not SO well known,
but they have their friends who will lend
them a helping hand in getting even with
the commission whenever the time comes
