The subscribers of the rural farm
telephone lines running out of Frank
fort cannot resist the temptation to
take down the receiver whenever they
hear the phone ring and listen TO the
conversation. If the person who first
rings listens carefully he can hear
the click, click of the receivers all
along the line as they are taken down.
A prominent farmer, who lives near
Crown, had occasion to call party
on the phone recently and heard the
receivers all along the line come
down, SO he thought he would teach
them a lesson. After waiting few
moments he simply said: There will
be no church tonight" and hung up
the receiver There were special
services at the chur h that evening
and when the minister arrived he was
surprised TO find the janitor of the
church was the only person there so
the church was closed and no services
held, and still some people wonder
how the word got out.

thought, and endeavor to get the
very best terms that can be obtained
but not jump at conclusions and
"horn off" scheme that may be of
lasting benefit to all of us.
We believe the city must retain
80 or 100 horse power free of charge
for public water works. The i'm
provements must remain in the city
limits for taxation, and we must be
guaranteed all the power our manu-
facturers may require at less rate
than is furnished to manufacturers
of other cities. We must also be
relieved of all liability connected
with the present dam and users of
power. Under such conditions we
believe all of our citizens would ia.
vor the proposition.
With cheap power transmitted to
our business houses, to the railroad
and to other parts of the city where
needed we could surely induce
mills and factories to build here.
With such power at low rates we
could build street railways, put in
water works and build up our city
beyond the expectations of the most
visionary. There are other things
in sight for Baxter Springs, but if
the dam proposition is good one
let us secure it.

A called meeting of of the city
council and tax payers was held al
the city hall Tuesday afternoon to
consider proposition from VIM
Sergeant of Joplin. who is said to
represent a large syndicate, to build
dam on Spring river near the site
of our present mill dam.
The meeting was well attended
by full board of councilmen and
many of the largest tax payers.
Mr.. Sergeant said he wanted the
city to turn over to him all ito
rights to the present mill dam and
he would put up a forfeit of 5000
that within two years he would
have constructed a concrete and
lime stone mill dam near the site
of the present dam that would fur
nish several Thousand horse power
and would cost at least $4,000, in
Guiding buildings and appliances.
Mr.. Sergeant agreed to make a
contract to furnish power to manu-
facturiers or others within the city
limits at not to exceed IS or 80 per
cent of the cost of transmitting
such power to Joplin or other cities,
thus giving Baxter Springs manu-
facturers big advantage over all
others. He further agreed that the
dam and other improvements
should be in the city limits and
subject to city taxation.
The meeting adjourned to meet
Tuesday night of next week, Sept. %,
to further consider the proposition
and give the people time to think
it over and express themselves as
to what 10 best to be done with re-
gard to it.
This is one of the most impor.
