Country publishers receive sub
scriptions now and then from city
firms who can have no interest in
the local news of the paper. This
paragraph in the New York Times
may explain the reason for these
foreign" subscriptions: "A whole
sale grocer in this city, who has be-
come rich at the business. says his
rule 10 that when he sells a bill OF
goods on credit to immediately sub
scribe for the local paper OF his
debtor. So long as his customer ad-
vertised literally. he rested, but az
soon as he began to contract his ad-
vertising space he took the fact az
evidence that there was trouble
ahead and invariably went for the
debtor. Said he: 1.-The man who
is too poor to make his business
known is too poor TO do business
The withdrawal of an advertise
ment is evidence of weakness that
business men are not slow to act
upon"

A PLEASANT TIME.

We have long since learned that
Mrs. ]. b. Opperman was not to be
excelled In entertaining, but II did
appear that she excelled herself
last Tuesday evening when she en-.
tertained a few invited guests at
dinner. Perhaps ]. BIS long absence
on the warpath for wild game may
have inspired her 70 renewed efforts,
or her long absent sister, Nettie,
added to that inspiration. About
1850 the guests were ushered into
the dining room, brilliantly iliumi-
mated by lights resembling the
lights of the Jewish Temple.
We will not attempt to describe
the menu or the different courses.
The souvenir conumdrums aud re-
sponses by the several guests be-
tween the courses frequently called
forth bursts of laughter. II was
nearly 10 o'clock when the company
left the dining room aud the
amount of enjoyment was not to be
measured By time consumed, but
by the apparent brevity. The late
ness of the hour reminded Prof.
Noble of the University Center that
hold their meeting at his home and
he was excused, but the good time
went on. All enjoyed the social
evening and expressed desire that
Mr.. Opperman would renew his
hunt another year and also that
that all were indebted to Mrs.
Opperman, assisted by her son,
Charles, and Miss Doty, for the
entertainment given them. Pres.
ent were Mr.. and Mrs. Milne and
three sons, Mr.. aud Mrs. Boyer,
Prof. and Mrs. Noble, Mr.. and Mrs,

PLAIN TALK.

About the middle of September
last pair of mules mysteriously
disappeared from A. Willard's.
The next seen of them was In my
pasture on Lyle Greek, Indian
Territory. In that pasture there
were about 100 head of mules,
horses and jack stock; also about
90 head of cattle Il was pasturing
stock at 25c per month";. The cattle
belonged to Walter Naylor; ID
mules aud horses TO A. Willard;
2 mules and horse to Mr.. Wright
who lived in Mrs. Crum's property:
Ed Davis had few horses In there;
Morgan Rush, J. C. Jackson and
several others, all in this pasture,
and some half dozen strays, and /
had about 30 head of horses and
Is jennets. I had taken out my mules
several days before and was fatten-
ing them in Baxter for shipment.
Now, does IL look reasonable that
a sensible man would steal q pair
of $40 mules and turn them in as
public a pasture as this one was;
and not only that, but turn them In
the same pasture with the mules
and horses belonging to the man
stolen from.

originated from a certain hell hole

and by so doing have incurred the

The several persons that have
subscribed and furnished a men,
bership for some one of the family
or some other person thus proves
that they have an educational inter-
est in Baxter Springs. There are
many others that feel an equal in
terest who have not been solicited
and the committee would be graft
fed If they would call or send their
name for this list. Let US have
one hundred families in Baxter
Springs represented in the Library
Association.
There are single volumes in the
library which are worth one dollar
to any intelligent person who
would read them; but. for one dol
lar, every family can have the
privilege of enjoying many vol
umes. We have heard several per-
sons express themselves that each
volumne they have read from John
Lords Beacon Lights" the past
year has been worth more than one
dollar to them. To any intelligent
lady his volume on "Great
Women" who has never read 1t is
worth FIVE dollars il duly appreci-
ated, as there 10 no other volume
equal to Il in our American or Eng
fish literature.
The amount subscribed has been
solicited to meet all the expenses of
the Association for year. Now all
new subscriptions and all money
received from entertainments will
go to purchase new books. Any
person or persons who have val
liable books to donate to the library
all such will be thankfully re-
ceived. The FIRST volumes that
formedthe nucleus of the library
fourteen years ago were donations
by different members, and many vol.
umes have been given since dur
ing its three stages of existance,
Another source of usefulness for
the library and for the future hopes
of Baxter Springs may be found in
the forty young persons who meet
every. Friday night at the N. E.
church for the purpose of studying
american Patriotic Character
Studies" under Mrs. Thompson and
also the "Grecian Character Studies"
under Prof. Noble.
This work is intended to Guilt
vate a love for biography which
will develop in lite natural order a
love of history. Our Baxter IL
brary has some very valuable
works of biography, but our young
people have not been educated up
to that point where they can appre-
ciate such solid works-though
they are growing towards them rap
idly. We would be glad TO see one
hu d ed volumes wisely adapted
to these young people; then we
could say goodbye to trash. or ell
low-back literature, which has
started so many young people on
the downward road TO vice and
crime. Let our people be more en-
thusiastic in furnishing proper
reading for our young.

As near as can be determined by the
returns this morning the next legisla-
ture Of Utah viii consist of AZ Demo-
Gratis, 16 Republicans and five Cannon
fusionists. These fusionists are made
up Of two Republicans and three Dem
ocrats, so that, in all matters except
the senatorial election, the legislature
will stand IS Democrats and IS Repub-
Hcans. There win be two Republicans
in the senate and 16 in the house.
The returns are incomplete and in
definite as to some counties, but the
estimate given herewith is made up
from the best information at hand.
Emery is placed in tie Democratic col
umn, on account of the heavy Demo-
cratic majority it would be necessary
for the Republicans to overcome. Bea-
yer is given to the Republicans, al
though the official count may change
the result. The Republicans have made
some gains in Wayne. but it is not
believed they will be sufficient to wipe
out the Democratic majority Of 1886.
The Republicans gain their members
in Cache, Sanpete, Beaver. Grand, Rich
and Summit counties, with good pros
poets in Box Elder, Millard and TOOele.
According to this estimate the mem
bershiD of the next LEGISLATURE viii be
as follows, including hOld-Over MEM

Isting TO the final evacuation OF the

serious disorders will arise before the

soldiers at the continued delay of their

months are due them, and they are
claiming that they should at least pc
paid in part before returning nome In
order to satisfy the cutlery, the govern
ment is issuing to each man shipped,
due note. collectable in Spain for the
amount in arrears. This does not, how
ever. satisfy the soldiers, who say at
the close of the last war a similar plan
was adopted, but no payment followed,
the due notes being repud1ated. me
lowest estimate of the sum due is
IS, 0O0, coo, Spanish gold.
But whatever may be the condition
of the Spanish soldier, the Spanish Off
Ger is not returning with pcckets
empty. He has not depended upon his
pay for support. but has seized what
ever opportunity offered. Those return
ING from Jucaro- Moron trocha have
brought their wealth with them. In
the cities it has been the same, only to
a greater degree. In one case, two years
ago. a Spanish officer arrived with
scarcely a possession except his uni
form. His pay has been in arrears for
some time, but his wealth is now esti-
mated at more than 100000, and he is
fine owner Of some of the finest houses
in the city.
The officers themselves are remark
ably frank in regard to the matter
They admit they have done no fighting
and that their campaign in the country
has been merely enc of loot. They had
no desire to end the war; on the con-
trary. in many instances they encour-
aged the insurgents and sold them
arms and ammunition. When Gomez
was reported to march one way they
would march another. A few shots
fred at a fleeing Cuban would be mag
nified into a great victory. Nobody
was hurt by the deception, and much
honor. crosses and promotions and
nrofits followed They claim that had
the war against the INSURGENTS been
carried on with proper military vigor
the revolution would have been crushed
in three months.
