OUR BAXTER LIBRARY.

This department receives several
fresh volumes this week. First, two
volumes from Miss Laura Treat.
Subject of one Biographical Stud
ies;" of the other "COmparative &C.
ography." These two volumes are
highly priced as the subject of &C.
ography has been badly handled
for the past six years In our COM
munity and these works are from
the popular pen of Ritter" the dis
tinguished German author. May
they inspire our teachers with a
love for the study of this beautiful
world, which lie the first great
school room of man, so that no pu-
pill shall be found in our public
school in the future that shall say
~ hate the study of geography"
The third volume is booklet. We
were standing at our front gate
when a large envelope from the
post Office was placed in our hand
marked Prof. i. o. Noble, City
Compliments of I. p. Daniels. We
read "A Message to Garcia" We
read on and did not move until we
had finished the work. We might
have been standing there now II we
had not finished the work or my
wife taken me into the house. Now
this little work is flying all over the
United States aud IL will be found
in more teachers institutes the pres
ent season than any other one work.
A million copiee are now being
printed. Here I copy: "In my
opinion, "A Message to Garcia"
should be styled IAN Epic" and I
believe II will become q modern
classic. II will be placed in our
school readers as an inspiration to
future generations of boys and
girls. 1t will have a place in the
history of literature beside that
marvellous epic of the bible-the
book of job"
Now, this last work received 10
not the least. but the greatest on
our teachers shelf, and when the
school board of Baxter Springs
shall determine who shall be our
teachers for the coming school
year and they enter the library we
shall ask them If they have read "A
Message to Garcia" II not we shall
place this copy in their hands and
ask them to stop right there and
read II and then tell US what they
see in il? That one question will
do more to tell what kind of q
school they can teach than any
county examination that was ever
given in Cherokee county. One OF
the FIRST lawyers of New England
was asked 10 examine young man
for q country school and he asked
only one question. Forty years
have passed, but I have never for.
gotten the look of that lawyer as he
asked the questionable. Cowles is
there q black board in the school
room where you are to teachf'
That was all. That was enough.

ATTACKS TARIFF.


o. Havemeyer, president of the
American Sugar Refining company,
was examined by the industrial
commission today In connection
with Its. investigation of trusts.
HE testimony related almost who'll
ly to the sugar industry and he
opened with vigorous attack upon
the customs tariff which he de-
clared wac "the mother of all
trusts," becoming such by provid-
ing "inordinate protection to man.
ufactured articies." The attack was
made in q written statement which
he read. Mr.. Havemeyer asserted
that a tariff of 10 per cent was as
high az any tariff should be. He
contended that sugar is discrimin.
ated against in the tariff In the in
terest of the Louisiana cane grow
ers, the best sugar makers and the
sugar growers of the Hawaiian 10
lands. To these interests he con.
tended the United States contrib
uted $24,OO0OO0 which was taken out
of the pockets Of the people. The
protection on sugar amounted to
only " of 4 cent pound, or about
81 per cent advalorem.
"What the sugar refining bust.
mesa has paid or lie paying repre-
sents nothing more than adequate
return on the capital invested" he
said: what congress should have
done was to have put an internal
revenue tax on the American pro.
duction of sugar. The representa-.
tons made in congress concerning
the trusts" he declared "were un-
true, and il IL were q fact that the
people suffered from the trusts they
must blame the protective tariff
system beyond the ~ of cent Civ.
en-" He admitted freely that the
company did all possible 10 ad.
vance iis own business interests.
Replying TO questions by Prof
jerks after he had concluded the
reading of his paper, Mr.. Have.
meyer said the American company
was capitalized for much less than
il 10 worth. "But for the clamor
against trusts, he said, "it could be
sold for three times it's capitaliza-
tion." Yet he thought the refiner'
les could be duplicated for $S5,000,'
600 or $l0OO0yOOO. 1.-THE present CO.
pacity of the trust TO-" he said, ~4S..
600 barrels day and the output So
000" He thought the trust was re.
fining about % per cent of the su'
gar refined In the United States.
Mr.. Havemeyer went ON to say
that what the company did, It did
not do from motives on philan.
thropy; that IL had its own share
holders to protect.
anybody can buy our stock." he
continued, land az consequence
the public owns the stock. But
doubt whether anyone would want
any of the stock of the independent
refineries."
"How many stockholders have
your" asked Prof. jerks.
about li,OO0." he replied, and ad.
ded: Enough to take Cuba-and
they would take Il If they could"
The latter remark was made in g
light vein. He stated AZ his opin
ion that the Cuban sugar should bs
brought In free of duty, and thai
this course would bring refined su
gar down 20 3 cents pound.
OF the coffee business Mr.. Have
meyer said he was in the business
and In Il to stay.

Two Enormous Mortgages.

Two big mortgages were filed for
record at the county clerks Office this
morning by a representative of the B.
& o. r. r. Co.
These two instruments were by far
the largest ever filed for record at that
office, and for that reason were of
more chan ordinary interest.
These mortgages were from the Bal
timore & Ohio Hailroad Company to
the Mercantile Trust Company, of
New York, and they aggregate S240. 900
The Sentinel was present at the
Clerks Office when the papers were fl
ed for record and was shown the origi-
nal mortgages. They contain about
100, 900 words and on one there are
pasted 7S9 documentary stamps of $50
each and tine other contains $50 OF the
same denomination, aggTegating S69,-
900 worth OF revenue 30 the govern
ment for the stamps alone The clerk
makes his return or affidavit on the
originals and two exact copies, In book
form, are left for record.
These mortgages. are being placed on.
record in all the coEaties in tho states
through which the road passes. The
fee for recordation in each county In
Maryland was $23z. as they had to be
absbracted. The fee for recording in
each county in West Virginia is S104.

"WaI We Celebratee" Well
Rather.

There Is very little time intervening
until the Fourth OF July, and If the
people of Parkersburg propose to eel
eDrate this great national holiday
prompt measures should be taken to
make the necessary arrangements and
map out a program. Parkersburg Is
about the only city of Importance that
has not already made a move In the
matter Many cities OF much less i'm
portance than Parkersburg have rails
cd large funds for that occasion and
even sleepy old Marietta has raised
about thousand dollars for a big
blowout. 1t behooves Parkersburgers
to bestir themselves If they desire to
get a crowd here on that occasion
Sentinel
The railroad rates will be reduced
for the Nations holiday and you would
better come up to Marietta and witness
a real celebration than to stay at home
and have any small demonstration.
We might tdd that it would not be so
expensive for you either.
