"when We Were Twenty-one."

Esmond's brilliant comedy, When We Were Twenty-One' will be presented at the Jefferson theater this afternoon and night.
 The play was presented here twice last season, and on both occasions made great success. On the second visit in commenting on the play, The Age-Her- aid said:
 ''The play itself is one of the most re- markable and clever of the modern stage. The story is pure and wholesome and appeals to the best and strongest instincts through the channels of humor and pathos. It Is as pure as the limpid waters of mountain stream and as sweet as the breath of new mown hay"
 When We Were Twenty One'' in the hands of capable artists can be seen more times than one with genuine in- terest. It is promised that the company which is to be here this season ia thoroughly capable one in every respect.

"Lost River"

The stage settings necessary to the proper display of Joseph Arthurs pastor al melodrama Lost River" are a source of interest. The bicycle race for life forming the tableau of the first act, it is said, is a fine piece of stage realism, equalled only by the effects and Hoosier scenery displayed In the toll-gate of the West Baden road One effect Is gained by Blessing (the hero) breaking open the barred toll-gate with an axe to allow the little Hoosier girl. Ora, to dash through on a spirited horse, bearing the money to pay her fathers workmen on the aque- duct over Lost River. Ora is pursued by desperadoes who have the gate closed upon them as they gallop up and the lit- them looking into the muzzle of Blessings revolver. The picturesque valley of Lost River in Southern Indiana Is the locality of the play and the quaint character istics of the natives of that -of-the- way section are the chief provocation of the laughs and comedy scenes. Contrast ed with these are the citified visitors of the fashionable West Baden Springs hotel and love story is interwoven with the exsiting episodes.
 Lost River will be the attraction at the Jefferson theater next Monday and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee.

QUESTION ON A
 DIFFERENT BASIS.

Mrs. MacFadyen in an interview yester- day sad:
 The question has now been put on an entirely different basis. At first it was regarded as a labor problem, but in view of the investigations it is now seen in wholly different light Instead of being Tabor question. it is enc tha; deals with public welfare and as such 1t is re- ceiving serious thought from many of the most prominent and innuential men in the south.
 "The movement against employing tiny children in mills Is no longer confined to any one State. It may now ba said to be Southern movement, and each State is watching the result of legislation regu- lating factory laws of other States where mill owners employ tiny, helpless child ren.
 "The result of the child labor bill now before the Georgia Legislature is being eagerly watched by the people of Ala bama. and later interest will center in a similar bill to be presented in January to the South Carolina Legislature"

Fifty volumes were recently
placed upon the shelves that were
never there before, and very few OF
those books are found in many OF
the private libraries of the town
There is another side of the library
question which but few of the cit.
liens have duly considered; it is in
relation to the growth of the public
school. Go to any city of import.
ance and ask the librarian what use
the schools are making of the Ii.
brary and you would learn that one
of the most important factors in
her schools today is the influence
of the library. May that be true OF
Baxte Springs as it is becoming
true of the best schools of the
country. Since the Latin course
has been dropped and the English
course extended in our high school
90 much more is it necessary to
emphasize the use of the library.

THE BAXTER LIBRARY.

We regret to learn there are some
people in Baxter Springs who mis-
apprehend the nature of the Baxter
library and its relation to the pub
lie.
1t has been called private insti.
tuition by some not well informed
on the subject. This lie a misap.
preheusion and misnomen. Some
will ask why does not the city own
the library and why is not the city
taxed for it's support. First for the
simple reason that the city has
been heavily involved in debet and
secondly because they felt that it
would be better cared for by an as
ISOLATION. The wisdom Of this
course is well illustrated by the
cemetery. All will remember the
cemetery as long az it was left with
the city fathers; how cad and cheer
less! but when the ladies organized
du dCoOCidtiOu W AOOh dktCA ", hOW
changed! Under the care of such
an association the library has been
nursed and watched until il has be-
come the pride of the city and is
the only institution of which Bax-
ter is superior to towns in close
proximity.
It ia a public institution in the
senee that it is free to every man,
woman and child in our city. They
can enter every time it is opened
and select from it's 800 volumes and
more than two hundred valuable
periodicals any work they may
choose and read until time to close
and not cost them one cent. Then
if they wish to take a volume home
once a week they can have that
privilege by paying one dollar a
year. That dollar, and others COL
lected in the came way, with what
lie raised by entertainments given
by the ladies, is used to pay all ex-
penses and to add new books to the
library.
