Every body reports a good time at
the dance last Thursday nighl. All
were happy until after the dance
was over, when it was found that
some low-down, unprincipaled thief
had swiped some seven or eight lap
robes and all the whips he could
get hold of. This stealing business
is becoming too common here, and
some one is going to get it in the
neck yet. We have some good clues,
and when we get you, my friend, it
will not be very pleasant for you.
Frank and Park Hartley of Baxter
were here Monday buying horses
and mules.

The road leading south from the
city to the state line is being grav-
eled. Work commenced on South
Military street and is being pushed
on south. The gravel is being
taken from the hill just east of the
Grace Hill school house, and is
mixed some with dirt, but the road
way is to be surfaced with a coat of
river gravel, which insures a good,
hard, lasting road. The work lie be-
ing done under the supervision. of
George Rucker, who solicited the
work and money necessary to carry
on the enterprise, and to him be-
longs the credit. Bart Ballard
graded the road, and he did a good
job, too.

THE DANIELS WHIST PART Y.


The "Possum, Pig and Punch"
social given by Mr.. and Mrs. c. W.
Daniels to the young married PEG.
pie of Baxter Springs, and said to
be din honor of the whiskers on
the grand jury" was one of the
most unique, interesting, entertain
ing and successful functions ever
given in this city. The invitations,
gotten up by Mr.. Preston Daniels,
were hand painted, representing
the pig, the possum, and the ele-
CANT big punch bowl, together with
the Daniels home in Mary Ann
park, the chicken of which the
salad was made, Sunny Jim" of &C.
real notoriety, and the grand jury
with its whiskers. The invitations
were in themselves thing of beau
ty and a joy forever.
The supper contested entirely of
solid comforts-two roast sucking
pigs, a roast postum with the sweet
potato Accomplishments, escalloped
oysters, a large old-fashioned corn
pone nearly as big as wash tub,
some old-fashioned sponge cake
without frosting, hot biscuits and
coffee. But the piece de resistance
was the big three.gallon bowl of
cold punch. This was no tutti-
frutti affair, but the real stuff, such
az our forefathers made, with lib
eral supply of something in it.
Talk about drouthy Kansas! Don't
mention it! The billiard table in
the large room was used to display
the supper, and the bowl of punch
was in the center.
To look at the crowd one would
think the whole town had turned
out, but there was room enough for
all, and guerilla whist was indulg-
ed in by eight abies. Mr.. B. W. Pat
ton won the gentleman's prize and
a diploma. Mrs. Chas. L. Smith won
the lady's prize and also diploma
neatly executed by Mr.. Preston
Daniels. The whole thing was big
success. Among those present
were: Messrs. and Mesdames c. A.
Childs, Arthur Carney, W. S. Bax-
ter, Carl Carney, Fred Easter, A. r.
Kane, W. +. Price of Joplin. B. W.
Patton, Chas. L. Smith, DR.. and Mrs.

Regrets were received from quite
a number, who were out of town or

The editor of the NEWS is going
to have a birthday this year-the
first one for eight years. This
scarcity of birthdays, is, we think,
what made US bald-headed. E. C.
Gaines, former cashier of the Bsx.
ter National Bank, is another un-
fortunate cuss who will have
birthday the same time we do.
Gaines and the NEWS man are fig
uring on "having time" of some
sort. If we do, keep your children
in the house. This thing of not
having birthday for eight years
is convenient in some ways-that
is, you don't get birthday presents
90 often, and you have chance to
get ahead of the game.
This is leap year, the first since
1896. 1t has been eight years since
the ladies were given the privilege
with the high pferogative of pro-
posing marriage to the gentlemen,
or in other words, of popping the
question" This prerogative they
may now exercise with impunity
and while il has been three hundred
years since eight years interveped
between leap years, our young Ia
dies may take comfort in the fact
that il will be two hundred years
before such a thing will again oc-
cur. Every fourth year is a leap
year except the centennial years,
those ending with two naughts,
which to be leap year must be di-
by 400. 1t has been three
since eight years inter
vened between leap years before.

Morrilton, Feb. 25. Chester Bruce and A. Brown escaped from the jail here last night by breaking three iron bars to the windows and cutting the screen from the outside. It seems that friends of the prisoners helped to plan the escape.
 Bruce was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years last October, but the supreme court ordered a new trial, and it was to have come up at the March term of court. Brown was ac- cused of making way with cattle not belonging to him.
