Unique Economy.
BSolUTEEY PURE

There is an individual in Bucks coun-
ty, says the Philadelphia Record, whose
notions OF economy are unique. When
his wife died he had photograph taken
OF the funeral procession, and sent cop
les of it TO his friends, as memorials
Of the sad event. Recently he walked
from Doylestown to this city avowedly
in search of new spouse. and, repair
ing 10 the home of two maiden friends,
popped the question to the youngest
sister, He candidly informed his in
amorata that he hoped she'd have him,
as she was about the same size and
build as his deceased wife, and that
the latter's clothes would just fit her.
He added, by way of inducement, that
they would take their bridal trip to
Doylestown by steam car, instead of on
foot. Being gently told by the lady that
she would be sister TO him. the Bucks
county Lochinvar went Off somewhat
disconnected. Lately meeting the
spnister who had declined his proffered
love and his former wife's old clothes,
he informed her that he had succeeded
in finding helpma1e, though he added,
in tone betraying discomfort, that
size wasn't quite up to size, and it had
been found necessary to cut down the
garments of the late departed.

A novel lawsuit has just been fled
in the Ohio circuit court. 1t is brought
by reverend gentleman who is now
conducting barber shop in Indian
apolis, Rev. a. w. Stout, who was ex-
PEELED from the church by the Indiana
Methodist Episcopal conference,
against the trustees of the Methodist
churches of Hartford. Milton, New
Hope, Mount Pleasant and Mount Car
mel Mr.. Stout alleges in his COM
plaint that he entered into contract
with the defendants about October i,
1896, to preach at the various Methodist
churches in the Hartford circuit of the
Moore's Hill district in consideration of
$500 year; that he again on October
1, 1897, entered into another contract
with them for $500, but the defendants
refused 10 pay him. The case will come
up at the next term for trial.

The Affairs
Of Europe

are faithfully portrayed in the original and
exclusive cable dispatches which THE CHI

capitals of the old world. This magnificent
special service is in process of being greatly
extended SO as to include every important
city in Europe; and it is supplemented by
the full regular cable service of The Asso-

newspapers outside New York city,

They tell US in the south that there
is no difficulty in "spotting" Penn
sylvanian. Besides that unfortunate ris-
ing infection with which we are inexor-
ably cursed, apart from the nerve
wraclling rapidity with which we one
and all invariably speak, there is, we

change, one proposition which never
fails 10 prove our shibboleth. We do
not know the difference between "on"

The recently published report Of the
astronomical observatory at the Cape
of Good Hope contains an account OF
he discovery OF little star of only
he eighth magnitude. and consequent
~ far too faint to be seen with the

Swiftest traveller that has yet been
found among the stellar hosts. Its mo-

FACTS IN THE CASE.

We are almost sure of boom In
Baxter Springs this year. There
is every prospect for large in
crease in business and good de.
mand for real estate. A good many
small dwellings and some business
houses will be constructed as soon
as the weather is suitable. Daniels
4 Hartley sold over 20O cheap resi-
deuce lots last summer and fall.
and in nearly every instance the
buyer bought with the intention Of
building. A great many OF these
lots will be improved this spring
and summer.
Baxter Springs has become the
headquarters for farm implements
and vehicles. No town along the
line, and we doubt II any town in
the state sells az many implements
and farm wagons as Baxter Springs.
Farmers come here from distance
Of thirty and forty miles in the In
dian Territory TO buy implements
aud they necessarily buy other
goods at the same time, so that the
trade Of the city is steadily increas-
ing in every line of goods.
Baxter Syringe 10 one of the best
market towns in the state. Our
buyers pay the highest price for
all farm produce and In nearly
every instance we pay Chicago
prices for everything q farmer
raises. We furnish a market for
everything and our market 10 never
piutted. Farmers are beginning to
understand they can buy as cheap
in Baxter Syringe as elsewhere and
