CAUSE OF HIS DOWNFALL. =
BOuRht a Pink Shirt at the Bar1.in-
Counter and Everybody QuissSd
Ham About the Sports.

He went to his desk in the treasury
department one day wearing a vio-
tently pink madras shirt. It was solid
pink, without break anywhere. 1t
is true that he had tried to hide it all
under big black neck-tie, but some
of it shone through the openings of
his waistcoat at the neck. Even that
little was sufficient to cause q COM
motion, says the Washington Star.
The women in the room looked
shocked and the men began to confer
about the matter in mysterious
manner, as if an unhealthy intruder
had come into their midst. Finally
one of them edged up to him and
asked: 49,
"Anything the matter at homer"
He couldn't understand the ques-
ton, but he said that everything was
all right
'How much did you win or lose last
night?" another one asked, after. he
had moved up in an awe-struck man
ner.
ION what?" he asked; but received
mo reply to his question, and his in
tertogator merely looked at him In
sad kind of way.
"Playing the races by wire, are
your" inquired third one of his
friends, who had cu7iously kept aloof
from him, except to edge around and
nsk one of these apparently silly
questions.
Il don't play the races, and you
know it," he said, land why all this
fool business among you people?"
Nothing more was said for awhile,
and then fourth friend walked
around and inquired:
"Promoting pugilists now, keeping
a pawnshop Or living a double life %
This question was sufficient for him
to demand an explanation, ana then
his friends gathered and explained to
him that this terrible pink shirt had
caused those who knew him to fear
that he was either losing his mind or
had at last become sport in the full
est sense of the word.
Then for the first time he felt the
degration- that had fallen upon him,
With tears in his eyes, and gathering
himself together, he made ti1s state
ment:
my downfall is due to bargain
days in the stores. These bargains
are the curse of womankind and man.
Kind. I saw where a certain store
was selling $3.50 shirts for 80 cents
That was too tempting, and went
to see the shirts. The salesman de.
INJURED when l told him they were
too red. They just suit your com.
Plexion,' he said, and they are the
best bargains we ever offered. We
are selling them merely because they
are broken lots and because their
color is little strong. But oil fash.
aonable men wear them.' All this
had nothing to do with it, however
The thought Of getting $3.50 for 80
cents was too much and I BOUGHT
something I didn't need or want
Then I concluded to wear the shirt
just to get something out of it. ]
realize that have done wrong, and
ask my friends to remember the
cause of this DOWNFALL"
When he finished great sploteb
OF tears fell down on his table Of flo.
ures on treasury appropriations and
he sobbed aloud.

CORPORATIONS ARE OUTLAWS
IN KANSAS.

Topeka, September 17.-Accord-
ing to decision rendered by judge
HAGEN of the Shawnee district court
all the corporations doing business
in this state, with but fourteen ex-
ceptions, are outlaws in Kansas and
have no standing in Kansas courts.
Judge Hazen decided that all cor
porations doing business must hrst
comply with the provisions OF the
Bush corporation law, otherwise
they are not only subject to ouster,
but have no standing in Kansas
courts and cannot sue or be sued.
Only fourteen corporations have
recognized or complied with the
law. There are, therefore, nearly
1000 corporations now doing bust
ness in Kansas which are outlaws
before the law.
The provisions of the law espe-
cially referred to in Judge Hazen's
decision are those which compel all
corporations to make full aud
complete written report to the Sec
rotary of state, giving the extent
and character of their business,
financial standing, etc.; also to &C.
cure a charter from the state char
ter board or a permit to do business
in Kansas, fling at the same time
written agreement to sue or be sued
in the Kansas courts.
The case has deep political sig
nificence, in that it brings to the
surface the fact that the state Off
GERS have not been doing their duty
but have permitted the corpora
tons to evade the law.
The case which gave rise to Judge

Carthage, No., is the prettiest
town Ia this whole southwest coun-
try, and 10 made so by the fact that
the yards are clean, weeds are not
allowed to grow, sidewalks are kept
in good repair, CUTTERS are kept
open and there are street crossings
on all the principal business and
residence streets. The ground on
which Carthage is located 10 very
similar to the ground on which
Baxter Springs is located. Both
are on the bluffs of beautiful Spring
river. Baxter Syringe can be made
as beautiful a place as Carthage.
Let every property owner and resi-
dent of Baxter take a little pride In
keeping his premises clean, keep
ing the weeds down and beautify.
ing his property, and Baxter, too,
will be talked of as favorably ae is
Carthage. A neat, clean town is a
desirable place to live and do busi-
ness in and visitors always speak
we'll of such a place. 1t is no trou-
BILE to do the things we suggest and
the self satisfaction will repay you.
Weeds are unsightly; they are IN
healthy and breed disease. If we
were mayor of Baxter Springs we
would make it a hobby to have the
weed cutting ordinance enforced,
and urge the council to make good
streets. If only two or three streets
were made good each year. and
made right, it would be move in
the right direction. In a few years
all the streets would be good. We
hope and believe our mayor will
have the weed cutting ordinance
enforced. Prosecutions may be
necessary to enforce the ordinance
but if prosecutions are necessary
they should be brought. But let's
make Baxter pretty place to live
and do business in. Let everybody
help and in two or three years these
aims will be accomplished.

Proctor's political opponents.
Burleigh county Is another to hold its
convention late in the month of July, and
the principal struggle will be the person
nel of the delegation. Ed Patterson and
l.. D. McGahan would like to be on the
delegation, although for some time Pat
terson has been at war with the slope
powers. McGahan is reported to have
worked hard for Senator Hansbrough in
the Ramsey county scrap, and in return
for that Hansbrough would like to see
Patterson and McGahan recognized. On
the other hand, there is a strong element
in Burleigh county opposed to recognizing
Patterson in any way whatever. Either
way the contention is settled, it promises
to leave some sore spots.
1t Is generally expected that Alexander
Mckenzie will head the delegation from
,Burleigh and that he will be a prominent
factor in the naming Of state and congress
sional officers.

A Magnificent Showing for the
:.. Past Six Months.
PERMITS FOR se5 DWELLINGS
Nearly One Hundred More Than for
Like Period a Year Ago-Cost
...s. ... s6zO,OOO. s ..-

The building record of Minneapolis for
the first hall: of the year shows notable
increase in the number Of permits and
in the number and aggregate cost or
dwellings erected. but there is small
falling off from the figures Of the first six
months of the previous year in the total
cost of all classes of buildings. Permits
were taken out for the past six months
for the expenditure of SO, sos, against
S5492,54 for the corresponding period
last year. The falling off is chiefly in the
line Of elevator construction, last year
being a most extraordinary one on that
line. The permits for JUMP called for
an expenditure of s692,357, against $780,,
75a for June of 1901. April and May alone
failed to show substantial increase over
the corresponding months of last year.
4 Despite the high cost of material and
the increased cost, Of labor. the present
yearg,shows a splendid increase in resi-
dence construction. Permits were issued
for the erection Of 800 dwellings of all
classes in the past six months, costing
$67O, 900, against 275 dwelling permits for
the same time in 1901 at an expenditure
of $626,465. The average cost per dwell
ing is somewhat less than last year.
Every ward in the city scores an increase,
with the exception of the third and elev-
enth wards. =, THE tenth ward made the
largest gain in number of new dwellings,
almost 200 per cent The thirteenth ward
comes next with gain of more than 100
per cent, and next in rank is the eighth
| ward, which. as usual. easily leads all
the rest in the number Of new dwellings
and total cost of construction. The per-
mits numbered seventy six, and. the cost
| was %S163, ATS: There were issued last
year fifty eight permits, involving an ex-
penditure of of7s116500 *" Sixty-fves new
T dwellings were begun in the thirteenth
ward, against thirty last year, and in the
tenth ward 'fifty-two, compared with eigh-
! teen in the first half of 1901. There was
a marked decrease in residence building
in the third ward and a. small falling OIL
in the eleventh. In the other wards not
enumerated above the figures show but
slight changes from last year.
The large number of dwellings of mod
crate cost in the second ward is one OF
the features of the seasons building
Next to the great residential section
comprising the eighth and thirteenth
wards. and the district that takes IN the
tenth ward and the uper end of the third
the residence building movement has been
more evident in the second ward than
anywhere else in the city. - !'.~-

tee held a meeting and decided to hold
the convention July 81 to elect delegates
to the state convention. The apportion-

There was some opposition to this, some
believing that the apportionment should
be based on the vote for presidential
electors The candidate for senator was

Steele, N. D., July Lee C. Pettibone
of Dawson has the bulk Of the delegates
in the county for Legislative nominee on
the republican ticket. He was democrat
up to the last national campaign and was
a Bryan man in 1896. A good part of the
present republican organization in the
county was democratic up to three years
ago. 1t is understood that Wesley Baker,
senator from this district, will run indie
pendently for the senate. This will com
pltcate matters, especially in Emmons
county, where there is a strong demo-
cratic tendency. There is much disappro-
baton OF Governor Whites attitude on
the merger in this county, but otherwise
his administration has given good salts

take strong man on another ticket to

DAVIES WINS

President Turns Down Mr.. Piatt of
New York.
Ne.o York Sun Special Serrtoe
Washington, July 1.-President Roose-
velt has determined to appoint Attorney
General John C.. Davies Of New York a
circuit judge for the northern district Of
New York. This will mean the turning
down of Senator Platt, who recommended
Representative Ray, chairman Of the
house committee on Judiciary, for the
place. It is understood by the house
leaders that the president had promised
the place to Representative James sherr-
man of New York and 1t was upon this
understanding that Speaker Henderson
permitted the bill creating the new. dis
trict to go through the house. Attorney
General Davies is not popular with either
Senator Platt or Governor Odell.
