We Will Wait.

Seeing the workmen skipping
about here and there, tearing
down alternate awnings on the
West Side, the reporter asked them
why it was thus and was answered
that some Of the owners had con-
cluded to be bull headed and wait
until the last moment while others
said they did not expect to comply
with the ordinance at all, as they
regarded 1t "confscatory" and a
destruction of property not author
lied by law. We had hoped that
the people would be unit on this
good ordinance and comply with it
readily and be done with it for all
time to come. 1t takes money to
keep up the repairs on these wood
en- awnings and they must be paint.

tear them away will relieve the
owner of this annual OUTLAY besides
our city will look better without
the unsightly awnings. Let every
one who comes within the province
Of this ordinance give in aud have

Col. Miner is in commandfwith d
full corps of captains, majors and
other officers, that go with a com
nand of this size.
We noticed a few old gray headed
vets in private uniforms and many
middle aged men, and quite a mum
Der of young men, who have not
yet reached the legal age to vote.
We were told by one of the sol
diers that the regiment had been
recruited strongly since they re-
turned from Santiago on account
of losing many men by bullets,
death of wounds, or long service.
The command looked to be in ex-
cellent health and all seemed to be
pleased that they we're on the
move.
When the trains pulled up here,
the dining car was opened and
hard tack and Boston baked beans
with coffee was given to each man
by the company's quarter master,
and soon many groups of the blue
coated lads could be seen eating
their midday meal with as much
relish as II 1t was turkey dln-
ner at their home.
Many of the boys did not tarry
to get dinner but scattered over
the city looking for beer and lunch
counters, and they found them too
and left many dimes in our city
The regiment had some ladies
and children along, also dogs an(
cats, the latter being pets, and car
ried along as mascots.
A great many of our people went
down to see the regiment out o.
curiosity.
The evening was well spent before
the last train pulled out for Sar
Antonio bearing the defenders Of
our country's honor.

PHELAN AND WIDBER.

I s for the ambitions of MT. Phelan, unfortu-
 nate circumstance that just his should be linked with that of felon guilty of gross and inexcusable crime. Widber stole funds of which he had been made custodian by reason of the conf-
 confidence inspired by the probity of his father, to whose official position he succeeded. Thus to theft was coupled the baser crime of ingrattude.
 The Mayors connection with the footing of the treasury was nothing to make him appear as i'll the slightest degree a willing accessory. To so much hint at this would be both impoltc and untrue Doubtless the knowledge that the wrong had been done came to the Mayor as shock. It must have come with the shock accentuated when the Mayor had to realize that his carelesSness had made the felony of Widber possible This matter has been plained many times, but 1t is of the old, old stories, ever ever new.
 One of the duties of the Mayor is to supervise the counting of the money in the municipal vaults. Mr. weighed It was "hefed" dishonest Treasurer noting this method could at once that the oppor tunty to steal hand. He could open the sacks remove the gold and fill them again with anything of requisite weight He adopted the plan thus suggested by the Mayors course and he goes to the peni- tentiary, while the Mayor wants to continue in po- ston which will enable him to ''heft' some more.
 defender of the Mayor, paper given to yellow spasms, explains blithely that only insurance pany lost What a complete vindication! "Hefting" is all right so long the burden of the consequent theft falls only upon souless corporation. The reasoning does not good but the implied state of morals very bad indeed

HONORS FOR WOMEN.

C ENERAL WHEELER, who has returned T from the with praise for all who took part \) in it. from the officials of the War Department the colored troops who helped to win the fight at Santiago, has not omitted the from his com mendation H. has suggested that the Government should in some way show its appreciation of their services, and confer honors upon those who nursed the wounded in the hospitals well upon the men who fought in the field
 The General did not undertake to define the form of the honor which should be conferred. He ad- mtted that the difficulty in the way of providing suit able recognition and reward for who the country in time of more than he could over come. All that he has done is to suggest that some honor should be given, leaving to others to deter mine the extent and the manner in which 1t should be carried out.
 The proposition has fallen upon fruitful soil A considerable number of persons and newspapers have taken the subject under consideration and have in some instances suggested plans for making the re- wards. Most of these advocate the granting of medals of honor to the women whose work of distinguished merit, and pensions where money is necessary to repay the sacrifices made by army nurses.
 This is curious outcome of a short campaign which began with peEemptory order from head quarters that no would be permitted to attend the army The service which was rejected at the be- ginning of hostilities by the officials has the end come in for the highest praise from the most popular of the commanding generals It Is another triumph for womanhood over prejudice, and that in
 itself will probably be regarded by most of the brave women who it sufficient reward for all they endured and performed.
 Whether the proposition of General Wheeler will pass away and be forgotten before Congress meets remains to be It is more likely however that it will lead to attempt to obtain from Congress recognition of the heroic services of the women and suitable reward for those who, like Miss Clara Barton and Miss Helen Gould, accomplished really important work for the relief of the soldiers If medals and pensions should be out of the question, vote of thanks would be better than nothing America much to her women, and an official recognition of the fact would do as much honor to the Govern nent as to the themselves.

From time to time people have been reading of the brutality of the attaches of the pound, to whom falls the duty of corraling the errant dog. That no particularly high-minded gentleman would adopt this calling may readily be believed, and yet it is hard to understand why, after brief as sociation with vagrant canines, the pursuers should sink to a moral and in- tellectual plane below that of the pur- sued. As an individual the dog catcher is most obnoxious. He Is hated by everybody. To observe a dog escape gives the beholder joy. For the small boy, who, seeing the cart of the catch CTS coming, runs ahead to give warning and shoo rash pups into the back yard, the common heart goes out warmly. He may be a naughty boy, too, and playing hockey at the moment. Doubt less the dog catcher is a necessity, but this does not impose upon anybody the duty of loving him. Several of these fellows have lately subjected women and children to violence Most of them seem to need term In jail and the rest might be tanned by a sound humping. The strictest justice would have them clapped into the pound and fed on moldy dog biscuit

LITERARY NOTES.

Mrs. L. w. Brewster deserves
much credit in working up an en-
thusiastic Chautauqua Circle In
Baxter Springs. II has been several
years since there has been such
circle. Twelve years ago Mrs. Dr.
Street, Mrs. Crowell, Mrs. Clark and
several others organized the first,
which increased Ia some thirty
members. Several completed the
four-year course.
On DIR. Bramhalls return to Bax.
ter Springs second circle was
started and for one or two years II
flourished, but when he left il died
out.
Mrs. Brewster has recognized a
class with the double purpose Of
enjoying the intellectual and moral
culture which il is sure to impart,
and also that they may be repre-
scented in the grand annual gather.
ings which in the future will con.
veue at Carthage, Mo.
The object of the Chautauqua is
two-fold. The first is for intellect
ual and moral culture placed with
in the reach of all. The second is
that every parent of son or daugh-
ter can follow a similar English
course at home and when the son
or daughter returns from college or
the university, there will be no vast
intellectual chasm between parente
and children. Each parent can
know the full contents of all sub
ject matter that their children have
pursued during the year, and If the
parent is sagacious aud Wise, can
examine their sons and daughters
and ascertain the quality of work
they have accomplished during the
year. 1t has proved great source
of pleasure to many advanced in
life, who in early days enjoyed q
course. II is like Waiting
the scenes of our childhood after
an absence of many years.
Every work prepared for this
course, which is annually pursued
by so many thousands, is of the
richest quality. There are no dry
and prosy works found in the four.
wear course.

IREEERsoN EAsLHY DEAD.

Jefferson. Easley, one of the old
residents of Baxter Springs, was
found dead at Fontana, Kansas,
Sunday morning. Easley's guar
dian, r. ]. Hiner, took him to the
soldiers home ut Leavenworth,
Kansas, a few days ago, but being
partially insane Easley was not ad-
United. Hiner took him to Kansas
City and got him a ticket and
started him to Baxter. Hiner went
from Kansas City to Liberty and
Easley, while on the way from Kan.
sas City to Baxter fell from the
train at Fontana aud was found
dead the next morning.
An inquest was held ut Paola and
the remains were inferred ut that
place by the G. A. Il. Post of that
city.
Jefferson Easley was about 20
years of age and was queer speci'
men of humanity. He had been
married four or five times, the last
time to Cynthia Bush, but she &C.
cured q divorce about two years
ago, since which time he had been
living alone.
His recollection of names was
something remarkable and IL
seemed at times as IL he knew al.
most everybody in the country. OF
late years his favorite pastime was
to walk several miles into the coun.
try and catch ride back TO town.
He was at one time a pretty good
collector and clear up to the time
of his death he was hunting some
body against whom he had bill.
He always carried cane, but sci.
dom used il 10 walk with, using II
as weapon of defense instead.
The boys of Baxter, TO their shame,
made life burden to the old gen.
tleman, and many time have some
of them lodged that cane.
But Jefferson Easley is dead.
Peace to his ashes.
