The county commissioners or
dered our bridge over Sprivg river
closed for repairs, but our citizens
realizing the importance of the
bridge to the general public and
especially to the farmers marketing
their hay, grain and produce, pre-
vailed on the commissioners to
have temporary repairs made so
that traffic. would not be stopped.
Street Commissioner Black went
to work Monday with a force of
men and put in q lot of braces and
temporary bents and stopped up
all large cracks and holes so that
the bridge wasagain perfectly safe
and open to the public Thursday
morning. -
The county commissioners have
ordered an iron span 90 feet long to
take the place of the old structure.
This will be put in az soon as pos
sible and the contractors agree to
put it in without obstruction or
stoppage to traffic. The lumber has
also been ordered to put on a new
floor on both bridges. Over 500 ve-
hicles crossed the bridge Thursday.

ELi B0TKIN DEAD.

Eli BOTklN DEAD.
Friday mornings Joplin Globe
had the following to cay about Eli
Botkin, who died OF heat prostra-
ton at his home in Joplin Thurs
day night:
eli Botkin was another of the
first settlers of the city who served
az a connecting link between the
days when the place was a little
mining camp and the present met
ropolitan condition of the city. The
old buildings which he owned on
Fourth street and which have re-
peatedly been condemned az hav-
ing outlived their lives of usefull.
ness, were relics, not only of the
first days of Joplin, but of the fret
history of Baxter Springs. The
building on the corner of Fourth
and Joplin streets was the building
in which the first bank at Baxter
Syringe was located and another of
the frame buildings in the row, the
second from the Fourth street liv-
cry barn, was the same old build
ing from which Eli Botkin dealt
out sugar and coffee in Baxter
Springs thirty years ago.
"The history of these old hulks
seems almost a dream considered
in the light of the present proper
tions of the city and the palatial
structures which uprear their lofty
heads to the skies all around these
mouldering fragments of the long
ago. All the buildings on Fourth
street, extending west from the al.
ley to Joplin street. were moved to
Joplin over a quarter of a century
ago from Baxter Springs by Eli
Botkin, and all these years the fig
ure of the man now dead has been
as familiar on that portion of Jop-
lin street as the old buildings
which he brought to the city, when
no city was in existence.
"Mr. Botkin was born in Clark
county, Ohio, in 1884 and came West
and settled at Baxter Springs, Kan
sas. in 1855. The war was just over
and there were limitless opportun.
tiles in the West. Mr.. Botkin first
engaged in the grocery business in
Baxter Springs. In 1872 the mining
camp of Joplin, where lead mines
had been opened up by Moffett &
Sergeant few years earlier began
to attract attention. AT that time
the only way to get to Joplin con.
veniently was by way of Baxter
Springs. The Excelsior" hack line
was started and the same year the
line was purchased by Mr.. Botkin.
In 1875 he concluded to move to
Joplin and he moved a number of
buildings over from Baxter and
opened a livery barn at 112, ia, 116
and 11S Joplin street. His business
and he afterward built
the. brick annex to his barn on Jop-
lin street at a cost of $1,000.
"He leaves behind him a wife,
whom he married at Baxter Springs
before he removed to Joplin. Be-
fore her marriage to him her name
wac Mrs. Mary Nesbitt. They had
only one child which died in infan-
cy. The value of the property on
Fourth and Joplin streets which
the pioneer leaves behind him is

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five, the time when woman
hood begins and motherhood ends,
Il is estimated that the aggregate
term of woman's suffering 10 ten
years. Ten years ont of thirty! One
third of the best part of woman's
life sacrificed! Think of the enor-
NOUS loss of timei But time is not
all that is lost. Those years of suf-
fering steal the bloom from the
cheeks, the brightness from the
eyes, the fairness from the form.
They write their record in many a
crease and wrinkle.

DIR. JACOBSON DENIES IT
Says Grubb Has Not Been Employ ed
by Him Since March

In a local paper this morning there
appeared a statement that Frederick
j. CRUDE said that ne went to work as
a machinist at the shops Of the j.
Morton Poole Company, not knowing
that strike was on in that establish
ment, although he had worked as a re-
porter on the Daily Freie Presse, OF
this city.
Dr. A. d. jacobson. when seen by a
reporter for the Evening journal. had
this to say in regard to Gruhe's state
lment
while it is true that CRUDE was en-
Iployed by the Freie Presse for a short
time last Winter. he left the paper as
far back as last March when, as we
all know. there was not sign of a
strike in this city among the macnin-
lists. Therefore in justice to the Freie
Press, the standing of which in all just
labor questions has been well estab-
lished for the past twenty years, l am
compelled to brand Mr.. Grubes state
ment as false and as entirely uncallod
lfor."
