EARmsR.s TOWN.

Over $500 worth of farm irnple-
ments were sold Ia Baxter Springs
last Saturday. This 10 evidence
that Il 10 the best implement town
In the state and farmers come here
from distance of 40 miles to buy
their farming tools, buggies, wag-
ons, hay presses and all sorts OF
farm machinery.
We have three of the largest i'm
plement dealers and composition 10

farmer 10 sure to get his goods az
low or lower than can be bought
elsewhere. One firm has 5 ware.
houses filled with goods and there
is nothing in the line of farm i'm
plements, machinery or vehicles
that cannot be purchased In Baxter
Springs.
Baxter Springs sold more wag-
ons last year than any town In the
state or territory. We have the
largest and most complete lines OF
buggies and carriages in the state.
Livery men and carriage buyers
from adjoining towns come to Bax-
ter every week to buy buggies-
knowing they can get better We.
hicles at less prices than In their
home towns.
In this connection we may say
farm work IL well advanced and
prospects quite brilliant for big
crops. Wheat never looked better
and a large area of corn has been
planted and good deal of It al.
ready showing up well. Pastures
and meadows are looking fine and
we are pretty sure of big hay
crop. Fruit trees of every descrip.
ton hang full of blossoms or young
fruit. and in fact our whole country
ia about as prosperous as il well be
and future prospects, brighter than
ever before.

Tuesday afternoon Judge Gill,
Clerk Davidson, w. E. Rowsey At d
W. C. Lykins went out TO the Douth-
Il farm, six miles northeast of town,
where Mr.. Murphy is drilling for
oil and gas. When the gentlemen
reached the drill hole, or where il
was supposed TO be, they found
that the men in charge of the work
had cut down Q small tree, peeled
off the bark and driven IL into the
drill hole, effectually closing II.
They were reticent and would give
no definite information as 70 how
deep the well had been sunk, what
they encountered, OF what they in
tended TO do In the future. The
drill and drill shaft were covered
with heavy coating of coal tar,
and a bucketful of the product was
setting near the machinery. In re-
ply to q question ne TO the quantity
found, one of the employees said
they had an abundance of IL ell the
way down. Rumor hss Il that they
are down to q depth of 500 feet, but
nothing positive could be ELECTED.
The fact that the we'll having been
plugged gives q semblance of
truth 70 the stories that . bouutifui
supply of oil or gas had been
struck. EK-Goy. RenfroW, who also
has Q lease on the ground, has

was not gratified, and Immediately
upon the action Of the caucus being

would make him senator. They claim
that he agreed to practically every
thing in their platform, with the ex-
ception Of sixteen to one, and besides
promised to keep out of republican
caucuses, to make Benton Maret his
secretary, and to do all in his power
to turn over the CITY of Lincoln and
the county of Lancaster to the fusion
party" Under that charge ThOmp-
son remained silent. What man who
placed any value upon his honor would
remain silent under such charge if
it was false? Never since the affida-
Wits Of fourteen reputable men were
published last June To the effect that
Thompson did enter into an agree
ment with the fusiOnists, having for
its object the defeat Of Judge Hay
ward. IN which he pledged his solemn
word of honor that if he was made
senator by the votes of the fusIOnists
he would oppose measures advocated

upon such pledge ought they to be

son had exhibited loyalty, acquiesced
10 the action Of the caucus to which
he submitted his candidacy, and again
become candidate for s-DatOr, could
he have asked more from the legisia-
tive delegation from this county than
its united support? Having been a
willing party to a perfidiUus attempt
to defeat the party's choice as ex-
pressed by its regularly constituted
organization, is he now entitled to

that he might have asked had he sup

the present system every military
post has canteen now. which is
established at the d secretion Of the
commanding officer. and carried On 10
accordance with certain regulations
OF the war department, under the
direct supervision OF an officer Of the
army and board of officers known as
the post-exchange council"
The officer 10 charge buys the goods
and pays the bills, and upon his dis
cret'On and good judgment depends
the success Of the p st exchange.
"But in the exchange as in every
other business undertaking, the wants
OF the patrons determine the kinds of
stock carried" Privates in the gu
larry army are not the worst kind #
men, but, as general thing, they are
not recruited from the most cultured
classes. They are in civil life I'M
skilled lahorers on farms and streets
and city lawns, They are ditch
ers and diggers. They drank beer
and whiskey until they joined the
army and yielded to the temperance
OF the 'canJeen." Absolutely all the
profits from the canteen are devoted
to the comfort and recreations of the
enl sted men. The canteen is called
"the enlisted mans club" And it is.
Although the privates buy at the can
teen. sandwiches. pies, etcetera, hand.
kerchiefs. ties. clio hing, groceries,
fruits, candies and beer at the marset
price in the reg on where the post is
located, the prcfit on this merchan-
disc ranges from twenty to ole hum
dred per cent, and it is all returned TO
the privates in reading matter, bill
lizard and pool tables and bowling
alleys. All gambling is prohibited,
and in the bar room no one is permit
ted to carry away any beer, which is
the only nquur sold. o ly a limited
quantity can be consumed by one
soldier. There is no temptation to
sell an Intoxicating quantity to one
man, for the penalty is severe. and
the seller profiteth not.
Almost all the officers in the regular
army have stated officially that to do
away with the canteeD would encUur-
aye disubedience, for the men will
have beer, and they assert that the
canteen has lessened the number Of
cOurts-martial for such offenses as ab
sence without leave and drunkenness.
Prohibition will not prohibit unless
maturity Of the prohibited favor total
abstinence.
