The explosives failed to work for some

decamped, allowing the engineer to go
back to the train with the engine.
Two other thugs had guarded the

however, occurred between the local
officials and President Mahon and he
left their meeting with a statement
that If the men struck without trying
arbitration the general union would not
support them in the issue.

The mayor of Baxter Springs, Kan

proclamation in which he. used the
expression 'smany manifold blessings"
Do you see the superfluous word? He
also attempted to ssenumerate some
of the innumerable things" for which
his city should be thankful, and, con-
Trajectory as it may seem, he sue
ceeded. These expressions are on a
par with widow woman - ssfree graf

'sTie Simple Life" is the title of
new book by Charles Wagner. In a
recent speech President Roosevelt re-
ferred to the book in a complimentary
manner. Within two weeks second
and third edition were printed and
now a fourth is demanded. This
shows two things: First, that people
have confidence in the Presidents lit
erary judgment and, second, that the
most trifling Incident may be more
advertising. However, we do not
wish to discourage the use of printers
ink in the regular way. The printers
and the book reviewers have to live,

The SemiWeekly Capital, published

alizing that good market report is
one of the most valuable features of
farm newspaper, the Capital prints
twice week full report of all the
markets of the world. including To
peka, and the report is absolutely re-
liable
1t prints all the news of the clviliz-
ed world fresh from the wires of the
Associated Press, covering the field
more thoroughly than any of the met
ropolitan weeklies. But in the mat
ter OF Kansas news, it has no competi-
tor, our large corps of special cores
pondents enabling us to cover the
field thoroughly. Outside of your own
home paper, you can get more local
news from the Capital than from any
other paper published.
Editorially it labors INCREASINGLY for
the States moral and material well
fare. While strongly republican in
politics, its editorials are fair and I'M

open alike to the doings of all politi-
cal parties.

COMMENCES OPERATION.

The factory of the Valley Button Company in Chastain's Addition was visited Monday morning by reporter for the INDEPENDENT, who was in- formed that the machinery of the plant would be put in operation at noon.
 The company has purchased large supply of shells, for which they have a storeroom, adjoining the large square wooden tanks, which are water tight and into which the shells are thrown that they may be softened and put in the right condition for the saws.
 The factory has 32 machines, each of which employ a man, but only about ten will be operated upon the start. Saving buttons requires skilled labor, yet any one may learn the art in short time, so as to be able to earn salary of $10 to $l5 a week.
 The saving room, which also con- tains a 12 horse power gasoline en- zine furnishing power for the plant, is elevated about seven feet above the tank room and the shells are carried to the machine operators in buckets. Above every saw short piece of hose throws a small stream upon the shell that is being cut and keeps down the temperature of the saw. The process by which the blanks are cut from the "nigger head" shells is no doubt interesting and we hope the factory may prove a good business venture to it's stockholders. It is q wage paying enterprise and should have the cordial good wishes of New port.

INSANITY CAUSED SUICIDE.

w. H. Pilkington, an aged man about whom little is known, though he had lived at Bald Knob for some time, committed suicide i'll that town, by shooting himself in the mouth Sunday morning. Death did not en- sue however, until Monday morning about one o'clock though his case was given up as hopeless from the start.
 He had written letters, stating that the people of Bald Knob believed him to have set the town afire and that he feared they would mob him. From this and other similar evidences of mental alteration he is thought to have made this attempt upon his life while temporarily insane.
 R. F. Drummond was telephoned for early Monday morning and or dered coffin, which was sent down on the noon train for the burial of the deceased.

III. HISTORY OF spR1NKL1Ne.

Had we unlimited space in which to discuss this subject we would divide it's treatment into the following heads: The Voice of the 27 church historians who say that baptism was performed by immersion only until the 3rd and some say 4th century, when sprinkling was introduced to permit sick people to have a substi- tute; the voice of the 34 Greek Elexi- cographers who agree in defining bapto and baptidzo to dip, to plunge, to immerse; the voice of 21 encyclo
 pedi@s who agree in saying that inn mersion was the ancient mode; the voice of 63 learned Pedobaptist theo- logians who have said the same, sev- eral of which I have quoted in my former articles; and the voice of IS apostolic fathers who agree with all the foregoing in giving immersion as the mode practiced by the apostles and in post apostolic days. My space will only permit few more quota tions from these authors on the his- tory of baptism, which taken with many I have already made bearing

PEARLS AND SHELLS.

The extent of the pearling industry of this section of several states, which is properly Memphis territory can be best appreciated in the amount of business done by one house, the largest operating in that territory. The firm of J. M. O'Hara & Co.,, we are informed, purchased $24,000 worth of pearls in the month of May. Their business is constantly increasing, brought about doubtless through the progressiveness and good reputation borne by the house and its liberal buyer, the head of the firm, Mir. J. M. O'Hara.

SEVERELY CUT BY HIS BROTHER.


 Frank Policeman and Jim Holleman brothers, engaged in fight Friday afternoon at the commissary of the Western Tie and Timber Company at Eight Mile. The difficulty arose over a debt which Frank claimed Jim owed him and a hand to hand conflict en- sued. The latter was badly cut in both sides and down the entire left arm, his injuries being so serious that death may result.
 Frank Holleman has not been ar rested, but papers have been issued for him and are in the hands of the constable who has not been able to locate him.

There was an 82 grain pearl on the market Saturday afternoon, which the owner, a stranger, claimed had been found on the river near the elevator. The finder was offered $2,000 for his offering but refused. The belief is current that the pearl in question was sent down from the North to be sold to ssucker,n but from appearances, the ruse was not successful.
