There is only one real reunion in
the Southwest. That is the one held
in Reunion Park, Baxter Springs,
Kansas. When you miss that one,
you miss the real thing. There are
other meetings called reunions, but
they are only side shows compared
with the big reunion annually held
here.
When you attend the Baxter re-
union it is certainty that you'll
come agan.
The meeting this year will be the
best of all. Nuff said.

FRANK s. MULLEN DEAD.

Frank S. Mullen, who wac i'll a
long time, and who went to Iowa a
few weeks ago, hoping to be ben
Gifted by the change, died at Shell
don, Iowa, Sunday. aged thirty
eight years and twenty-eight days.
Deceased was a victim of consump-
ton. His remains were prepared
for shipment and brought to this
city, his father, A. w. Mullen, who
was with him when he died, accom-.
paning the RENAME home, where
they arrived Monday evening.
Deceased was born in Bremen
county, Iowa, July 13, 1858, and
moved with his parents to Chero.
kee county, Kan. in October, 1880
He was united in marriage on No.
vember 81, 1886, to Miss Fora X.
Davenport, eldest daug of Will
liam and Melissa A. Davenport of
Baxter Springs. Mrs. Mullen died
in October, 1899, and four children,
Bessie Maud, aged l3; Jessie Pearl,
aged 10; Vernon Siegel, aged 2; An
ma May, aged 5 years, are thus left
orphans.
Mr.. Mullen was farmer by oc.
cupation, and although his wife
was for long while an invalid and
there were many other things to
discourage a man, he labored in
cessantly. Starting with nothing
but his bare hands, he left farm
of 100 acres nearly paid for. Mrs.
Mullen died of consumption and in
his devotion to her in illness he
contracted the disease. A month
ago he left for his old home in
Iowa, in the hope that the change
climate would be beneficial to his
health and died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Theodore Zimmerman.
On June II, 1894, he joined the
Modern Woodmen of America, be-
coming a member of Baxter Camp
No. S27. He carried $1,000 insurance
in the beneficiary department of
the order, which will be paid to his
children in a few days. His age at
the time of joining the order was 81
years. The assessments for the
amount of insurance he carried at
the time of joining was IS cents. In
no year since he joined has there
been more than eleven assess
ments, and in three years, '97, '96
and 90 there were but ten assess'
ments, making Is assessments in
all, or $63.75. In addition to this he
paid $2l in dues, making, with S.
initiation fee, and SIPS medical ex-
animation fee, a whole cost of $9l
for carrying his insurance seven
years and three months, or less
than $1s per year.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home of his parents Tuesday
morning under the auspices of Bax'
ter Camp No. s27, Modern woodmen
of America, of which deceased was
an honored member. Rev. N. f.
Bramhalf delivered the funeral ser.
mon. The remains were inferred
in the Galena cemetery, beside
those of his wife who died about
two years ago.

Some curious inequalities are

says the Leavenworth Chronicle
At some points farmers are giving

agree that a pound of wheat is

Al Wellington bran and shorts are

A GOOD CATCH.

A GOOD CATCH.
At the time of the Baxter Springs
fire last week it was supposed to
have origigated from natural or ac-
cidental causes, but 1t now turns
out that il was the work of an in.
cendiary says the Columbus Ad-
vocate. 70.
Sunday Marshal Aitchison re-
ceived a telephone message from
Carl Junction, Mo-. to be on the
lookout for an individual who had
been mixed up in a cutting scrape
there, and while thus engaged he
obtained clue which led to the ar
rest of man who is supposed to
have set fire to the buildings which
were destroyed at Baxter one night
last week.
"That afternoon Marshal Aitchi.
son received tip that colored
man by the name of Frank Mitchell
was in the city and that he had
large number of pocket knives. Mr..
Aitchison located the fellow near
the Gulf House and placed him
under arrest. He had two large
grips, an examination of which dis.
closed the fact that they contained
a good sized hardware store. Seven
razors and twenty pocket knives
were among the articles of cutlery
found slowed away in his capaci.
Gus grips. Numerous small arti-
cles and two boxes of cigars were
found in the valises. When asked
to tell where he got his varied and
indiscriminate stock of merchan-
disc, he replied that the officers
would have to find out the best way
they could, and intimated that he
was not in the habit of 'snitching'
on himself, that is, 'bawliing' him.
self out.
mitchell was locked up in the
county Jail, and Marshal Aitchison
phoned to Baxter officers of his
capture, requesting that they send
a man up to examine the goods.
Last night one of the men who
were burned out and an officer
came up and identified the proper
ty. This leaves but one conclusion
namely, the stores were first bur-
glarized, and the robbers, to cover
up their crime, set fire to the build
ings.
Mitchell formerly lived at Bax-
ter and run a restaurant there. As
far as is known he had always
borne a good reputation, but it
would seem that appearances are
deceptive. There are other parties
who it is thought were connected
with the affair and other arrests are
expected TO follow"
Frank Gray and Constable Jones
went up to Columbus and Mr.. Gray
identified the knives and razors as
his property, being marked with
his coat mark and selling price.
Mitchell was sweated. but refused
to confess. He claimed to have
bought the stuff from Harry Sea-
man on Wednesday after the fire,
but Seaman says he is not guilty,
claiming to have been in Galena at
the time of the fire and the officers
are inclined to believe Seaman.
But one thing is reasonably GER
tain-that the store was burglarized
and then fired. Another thing that
looks reasonably certain is that
Mitchell is guilty, but probably
somebody helped him do the job.
Mitchell always was a thief, when
a boy having a penchant for al
lowing his fingers to stick to things
belonging to others, and as an all
round liar he is par excellence.
