A NEW CANDIDATE.

Inasmuch as candidates for the
office of mayor of Baxter Springs
seem to be hard to find, Mr.. ]. G.
Polster has consented to run and
will probably receive the nomina'
ton at the caucus to be held on
Monday night.
Mr.. Polster has lived in Baxter al.
most 35 years and is well known by
all of our people. For fourteen
years he served as councilman OF
the Second ward and made an excel
lent official. He is well acquainted
with the needs of the city, and also
with all the little ins and outs OF
city business. Yesterday morning
he told us that if elected he will en-
deavor to rigidly enforce every or
dinance calculated to benefit the
city, and especially the ordinances
relative to the cutting of weeds, and
the general cleanliness of the town.
His own property is the neatest in
town and our people can readily
believe that he means it when he
says that if elected others must be
clean. too. Mr.. Polster is good
roads enthusiast, and says the
streets of our city must, be made
better, especially those leading in
to town from the country, like Riv-
err street. Military street and North
street.
The experience Mr.. Polster would
carry into the mayors Office would
be valuable to the city, and we be-
lieve our people can go farther and
fare worse if they select some 9TH
ers who have been mentioned in
connection with the Office. Some
people have been mentioned for the
mayors Office who are absolutely
not fitted for the position.
We asked Mr.. Poleter if prejudice
would cut any figure in case he is
elected mayor. He said: Decided
ly no; am for Baxter Springs; our
town is now at it's critical turning
point; we must all work together; ]
have made up my mind to that.
Our little city is on the upwave of
prosperity and we must keep it up.
Those who have prejudice in their
hearts should kill it out. We must
push Baxter to the front and make
it a good place to live in"

low;" discussed him in his inter
course with the members of the
bar" candid, courteous, frank and
genial" made gentle reference tx
him in the home circle-"if Judge
Hughes was to the public what
we know and feel he was, then his
relation to his family was too sa
cred and tender to be the subject o
human speech. "

How to "Break" a Horse.

The st. Louis Republic at the
st. Louis fair last week inter-
viewed a Mexico man and quotes
him as follows:
L. B. Barnett of Mexico, Mo-,
who, with 55 exhibits, has recent
ly carried off "a prizes and one
second, represents a somewhat diff
ferent school of training from
those generally in vogue; but his
methods have proven decidedly
successful in educating horses. He
said:
You begin with your horse by
cross-tyiug him, from a bit in the
stall. You then tap him on the
leg muscles with a small rawhide
whip till he begins the Spanish
walk, that is the high lifting of
the legs. Then gradually you
work up to the breast muscles. On
the third day the horse is removed
from the stable and you give him
the same sort of work outside.
After you have been working
on the ground beside him for
weeks, he is again removed to a
small enclosure, where you mount
him and tap him lightly on the
left shoulder until he does the
step with you in the saddle. That
will make him proficient in the
march step.
For the Spanish trot, you start
with a slow passe trot, touehing
your mount with both spurs in the
shoulder until he acquires the step.
The piroutte is taught with the
use of light buggy whip which
enables you to reach his hinder
parts, while You are still holding
him by the bit. That teaches him
to circle.
The handkerchief trick is i'm.
parted by tying a handkerchief
lightly around his ankle. Then
you touch your horse lightly with
a pin thru the handkerchief. Nat
urally the horse resents this. He
viii soon snip at the handkerchief
aud as the pricking is stopped the
moment the handkerchief is re-
leased, he learns to associate the
cause and effect. Then he gets so
that the presence of the handker-
chief alone leads him to expect the
! pin prick aud he will take it of
and give it to you as fast as you
lpnt il on.

called Trigger geese. y
