THE NEXT MAYOR.

I wish to present the name of ]. ].
Fribley as a candidate for mayor OF
Baxter Springs. He has had long
and wide experience as mayor,
councilman, member of board OF
education, ETC.; he is large tax
payer and man of affairs; he fully
understands the necessities of the
city. and would conduct the affairs
in an economical, conservative and
iudicious manner. There 10 a large
surplus now in the treasurer's
hands, caused by an excessive levy
to pay off old debts, lawyers fees
and in settlement Of old suits. This
money should be used to pay the
debts of the city and not squau-
dered.
Mr.. Fribley would use it in the in
terest of the taxpayers. while an
untried man might permit 1t to be
thrown away for unnecessary i'm
provements.
Fellow citizens: With this sur
plus in our treasury a very large
amount of our old debts can be
paid off and taxes cut down % to
40 per cent. You all know we cam
not afford to keep up our present
rate of taxation. We cannot afford
to pay any more attorney fees or
incur any more law cults. Mr.. Frib-
ley would reduce our Indebtedness
and economize in every depart
ment; he would not involve the city
in law suits or any sort of extrav-
agance. I don't believe any of you
want any more litigation, and If
you do not then elect a man who
will keep US out of court 1t is time
to let the tax grabber stand aside.
The city never had 40 bright a
future az now. With the mineral
strike, the railroad prospects, the
good roade movement, ana the
prospective sanitarium, Baxter
Springs is coming to the front.
Don't head 1t off by bigoted, fanat-
icai prejudices. Don't let your own
narrow, political or religious no.
tons stand in the way of the city's
prosperity. Elect a broad-minded
and a city council of bust.
ness men,.
If a man has made an utter fail.
ure in his own business or profess
sion he is not likely to succeed with

This is the turning point in the
history of Baxter Syringe.

MAYOR.
He don't want the Office, but he
will accept If elected.

St. Cloud Woman With RevoIv-

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 31.-Katie
Schmidt, shy her reason and her cloth
ing, gave the police and a large number
of neighbOrs a bad hour. The woman
has lived for the past five years with
one John holden, a peddler, in a house
west of the Osseo railway tracks. She
and the man have not gotten on well
together of late and she had commence
ed an action for divorce from the
common law marriage which united
them. 1t is now pending. 1t appears
that Mrs. Holden has on two different
occasions before been insane and has
been a patient at one of the state
hospitals for the insane.
Sunday morning the police were
summoned to the house by a report
that Mrs. holden had become crazy
and was threatening the lives of her
children and of the neighbors. Chief
Quinlivan and officer Weimann went
at once to the scene of the trouble and
found the woman in the Second-story
window of her home. She had a re-
Volver in her hand and was shooting it
at random about the place and at
everything in range. Naturally, the Of
fcerS exercised some caution in getting
within the range of the gun. For
matter of almost two ffurs the game
of hide and seek continued, the woman
continuing to shoot at everything in
sight except her two young children.
Finally, she leaned out of the window
and dropped the revolver at the feet of
Chief QuinliVan. The willy chief had
stood in a niche out of range while
persuading her to give up the revolver
and when Mrs. NOlGen yielded to the
strenuous excitement of the hour and
dropped listlessly still on the window
sill from exhaustion, he got on a big
dry goods box beneath the window and
seized her hand and held her while Of
ficer Weiman made his way through
the building and grappled with her
from behind. The two officers found
her nude, but covered her with clothing
as best they could and in a hack took
her to Jail. Her children, crying not
to be separated from their mother,
We're with difficulty taken away from
her at the Jail and placed with Mrs.
Nolden's brother, John Schmidt, while

ton as to her sanity.

VENEzUELANS HARSH
Hunt Down Foreigners Who
Dare Present Claims.

WILLEMSTAD. Curacao, Aug. 81
Harsh injustice is being meted out to
foreigners residing. in the interior of
Venezuela, where the local authorities
are hunting down all foreigners who
dare to present claims against Vene-
Zuela in accordance with the recent
protocol. Near Coro a local tribunal
refused to accept the testimony of five
Italians. On the latter insisting in
rendering their dispositions, three were
arrested and thrown into jail. Two of
them attempted to escape and were
fired upon, one being killed. The vene-
zuelan government does not deny this
occurrence. but is doing nothing to
prevent repetitions.
Letters sent to foreigners from the
Italian and other legations, instructing
them to send in their claims, were
seized in the post so as to prevent the
claims from arriving in Caracas in
time
GUIANA, Venezuela. Aug. s1.-A
gibbet was erected In a street of this
city yesterday, on which was hanged
an eff1gy representing a foreigner, and
the populace beat the dummy with
sticks amide shouts of Death to the
foreigners!" Two leading traders. M.
Palazzi, a Frenchman, and Herr
Sprfck, a German, were recently arrest
ed in Ciudad Bolivar by order of Pres
ident Castro for refusing to pay their
taxes, which had already been collected
by the revolutionists during the latter's
occupation OF the city. Many other
persons were also arrested on the same
charge. The French and German min
listers at Caracas protested and obtained
the immediate release Of their fellow

CLIMAX OF ROMANCE
Nondike Courtship Has Sequel
In La Crosse Wedding.

Special to The Globe
LA CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 91-During
a bleak and dismal winter two years
ago, when Miss Anna Sullivan was
the only clerk in a ramshackle store at
Gold Run, Alaska, she met George
Meyer, young Klondike gold miner,
whose fortunes We're then unknown.
Last night in st. Marys church, the
pretty romance. started so unusually,
was eliminated in a wedding.
Three years ago Miss Sullivan went
to Alaska to visit a brother-in-Iaw
there. That was in Dawson City, but
later she went to Gold Run. From her
position behind the counter she gained
the acquaintance of the citizens of the
lonely little town and soon was the
leader of the society there. "A frequent
visitor at the store was George Meyer,
who was the owner of two small
claims in the region. He was a Seat
tie man and had lived fore some wears
at Gold Run. He bore the stvle and
culture of gentleman, and it was not
long until something more than friend
snip existed between the fair clerk and
himself. 1t was less than a year after
their first meeting that their engage
ment was announced. There were Ri
walls in large numbers. A girl such as

and judging from the last quartz tested

there. He came to La Crosse, how
ever, less than a week ago, and In
proof of the assertion made during the
courtship that all of the gold In the
Klondike could not make him happy
without her, he is now returning to
Gold Run with Miss Sullivan as his
bride.

FREEZES IN SUMMER
Montana Miner Is Saved From
Death by a Mountain Lion.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
ANACONDA, Mont, Aug. 31.-Lost
in the hills and nearly freezing to death
in the middle of summer was the expe-
rtence of John Bergman, a miner, who
reached this city today, after wander
ing around in the hills for a week.
Bergman, who belongs in Idaho, has
been visiting relatives in this section,
and decided that before he returned
home he would do a little prospecting
in the mountains back of this city. He
wandered further than he meant to, and
at last realized that he was lost. AS
he had with him his rife, some bacon
and blanket he was not greatly
alarmed.
The first night out was not so bad:
in fact, the old fellow rather enjoyed 1t.
The second day the weather turned
cold and the night air was keen and
biting. Getting into a small gulch
Bergman made fire, wrapped himself
in his blanket and tried to sleep.
He might have been successful had
not rain begun to fall. followed by
snow, which extinguished his fire and
drenched him to the skin. In vain he
tried to make another fire; his matches
had become wet and he could do moth
ing.
The third night out the old man al
most persisted; one hand was frost Bit
ten, and during the night, while try
ing to hide in a small cave he had
found from the bitter cold, he was at
tackled by a mountain lion. which did
its best to make and end OF him.
Bergman says he owes his life to the
great cat, which, by It's attacks, forced
him to keep moving, and to thus keep
his blood In circulation. He says he
is certain that If he had given up and
laid down to sleep he never would have
walked up again; as ii was, he frosted
the fingers OF his right hand, and this
in midsummer.
