CHARLES L. SMITH,
Editor and Proprietor.
WE ARE TIRED.

There are q few sheets in this
county, called newspapers by cour-
tesy only, which are calculated to
make we'l regulated man very
tired. Last fall when we supported
A. II. Skidmore for judge and John
McKillop for district clerk, both OF
them Republicans, these same
sheets upheld us. clipped our arti-
Giles supporting those two gentle
men and in fact did everything
they could think of to show us that
we were right then. This fall we
have seen fit to support an old
friend of ours, Democrat, Oh
Sparks, for sheriff. Now these
sheets howl long and loud; say we
are not consistent, etc. In plain
words il makes a whole lot OF differ
euce to these editors what are the
politics of men we support. To
the editors of these sheets we will
say: You can go straight to Hades.
We are running an independent
newspaper; we shall support whom
we believe to be best fitted for the
Off to be filled: we are not run
ming newspaper with the expect
alton of suiting this ring of half
rumped editors. But we will say
this: If we had started in support
ing the other fellow these same ed
itors would nave chung to our neck
and patted us on the back. They
know this is true, but they are not
fair and will not admit it. In fact
it is not possible for them to be
fair.
Sic 'em, Richart, aud maybe your
rent will be lowered. Sic 'em, Wei
dy. you've got to do it, and we don't
blame YOU But in the meantime
please remember that we shall con-
time to run the NEWS in our own
sweet way, without the consent OF
any other editor now on earth.
And in the meantime Sparks goes
on making friends and gaining
votes every day. Sparks has made
good sheriff. The people know IL
aud are going to re-elect him. The
efforts of the Columbus editor, whC
can have cream without keeping a
COW, and OF the colonel from Gale
ma, will avail nothing,

ABOUT the BAXTER REUNION.

When will the Baxter Springs
NEWS give it's readers a rest on try.
ing 10 apologize for the indecent
shows that were permitted TO run
on the camp grounds ut the reun-
ion this year? A new defender has
bobbed up and signs himself peg
gy." Peggy" seems to think his
version will quiet the public mind.
Mr.. Collins says Ire was in all OF the
shows and saw nothing immoral in
any of them. / don't know what he
would call immoral. If putting
naked women on exhibition is not
an immoral act then he did not see
anything wrong. Let Mr.. Collins
deny this and l will furnish nearly
one hundred witnesses here in Jop-
lin 10 prove the charee.-B. w. Eas-
ley, in the Joplin News.
The Baxter NEWS aud all other
papers that understand the situa-
ton. have long ceased to "apolo-
gize" for the conduct of the Baxter
reunion aud they will quit talking
about il when such men as b. W.
Easley quit lying about it. Now
we do not know what Mr.. Collins
will affirm or deny, but we will give
Mr. Easily run for his money. We
will give him five dollars If he will
produce one person who will go be-
fore notary public and make oath
that he or she saw "naked wo-
man" on exhibition at the Baxter
reunion. And il Mr.. Easley pro-
duces the person, we will give him
another five dollars If we do not
send him or her to the penitentiary
for perjury. Now as the sports say:
put up or shut up, Mr.. Easley.-
Col. L. c. Weldy in the Galena Re-
publican.
Now, what the Baxter NEWS
wants to know is when b. W. Eas'
ley is going TO pay his subscrip'
ton account. He is only abou,
seven years behind and il comes
with poor grace for him to roar
about something he owes for. b
W. Easley is first class chump
b. W. Easiey is a buffer. Now. will
b. W. Easlvy stand without being
hitched:
Oh, yes, B. W. Easley is the man
who, in the early days of the Bax
ter reunion, run a dance platform
where whites and blacks, together
with Joplin nymphs of the pave
danced together. Is that any bet
ter than the shows at this years re
union where an old man 1--WE dom
say it was B. W. Easleyl paid his
money to see naked women and
wanted his money back because
they were not on exhibition?

BY HIS OWN GUN.

One of the most unfortunate acct
dents in, the history of Galena was
the accidental killing of Night Po-
liceman James Lane, about @ o'clock
Monday evening by the accidental
discharge of his own revolver, a 45
calibre Colt, says the Galena Times.
The particulars of the sad affair
are as follows:
The officer after having partaken
of his supper repaired to a closet.
He took off his gun and laid 1t in a
box nailed upon the inside of the
building. In some manner the
weapon either slipped or was Jared
out of the box and fell to the floor,
striking the hammer, which rested
on a cartridge and the weapon was
discharged. The bullet entered his
body in the region of the pelvic
bone upon the right side, passed
through the lower bowels and came
out upon the left side of the spinal
column. Drs. Payne, Scoles and
Moore were hastily summoned
Upon examination il was found
that the unfortunate officer had re
ceived death wound.

Thirty new civil cases have been
filed in the district court since the
September term begun, saying
nothing about the new criminal
cases. There will be more than $50
cases for trial on the first day of
January to dispose of in four

pose of half of that number. A
