A Good Move.

The BARRIERS of this city, with one
exception, last week decided that
they would close their places abso'
lutely on Sunday. In accordance
with an agreement to that effect, all
barber shops In the city. with the
single exception, were closed all
day yesterday. The blinds were
opened and disclosed the fact that
there was nothing doing In the
tonsorial line. The gentlemen who
follow that profession deserve great
credit for their determination to
fully observe the Sabbath day, and
their customers will be doubtless
glad to accommodate themselves to
the new arrangement.

Exceptionally Good Holiday Busi

Exceptionally Good Holiday Busf-
neSS-A Collapse In Corn.
NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Holiday trade has exceeded even the
most sanguine expectations, and retail
dealings in all staple lines of merchan-
disc are well maintained, with the bet
ter grades of goods in brisk demand.
Wholesome conditions prevail in most
sections of the country. although i'll
parts of the southwest the season has
fallen behind the average, Even in
these cases reports are encouraging
for the future. Industrial plants are
well employed. orders running far into
the future, and labor controversies are
rare. The only adverse feature of the
situation is the fact that supplies of
fuel are utterly Inadequate both for
household and manufacturing uses,
snow increasing the delay Of deliveries.
The steel situation is practically un-
changed, the largest producer hay

pushed as rapidly as supplies of fuel
and material will permit. Supplies of
coke do not increase, and many fur
naccS are idle Contracts for bridge
work and track elevation are freely
offered by the railways and accepted
only Oh condition that the exact date
of delivery shall not be specified De
spite the fact that rail mills are sold
close up to the end of next year. new
business is offered, and urgent buyers
are compelled TO go abroad.

control the December corn option pro-
duced a violent decline in quotations.

MASS MEETING
AT THE
CITY HALL
WEDNESDAY, EvE'G, Mar. 10

The recent mining Developments
near Baxter Springs are likely to
bring this city to the front, and all
citixeus are urgently requested to
attend the mass meeting for the
purpose of forming
COMMERCIAL CLUB
and take such other action as will
benefit our city and make it one of
the most prosperous towns in the
state.
The mineral strike is now an as.
sured fact and best judges believe
we have a large field of rich ore
near the city. A good energetic
commercial club would aid largely
in advertising and developing the
mineral field and we would soon
have a large mining camp at our
doors. The Missouri Pacific rail.
road will soon extend their line
from Joplin to Chetopa. We must
secure this line through our city.
A commercial club would aid in
getting an electric road and a spur
from the NJ. X. and 7.
Baxter Springs never had such an
opportunity for advancement and
permanent prosperity. Every citi-
zen should turn out and fill the hall.
Let us GO for everything that is in
sight. and let nothing go by. This
is a meeting of the people.
