CASE DISMISSED.

The case of the State of Kansas
versus George Cravens, who was
chargrd with the killing of Leonard
Joy during the reunion last year,
was dismissed in Justice Jones'
court on Monday of this week by
the state.
The case had been continued sew
eral times and Cravens was always
ready for trial. The state never was
ready and the case should have
been dismissed long ago. The
shooting was clearly in self Defense
and it would have been pure
vast of the taxpayers money for the
case to have gone to the district
court.

debt will not hurt US any. Ii we
wait to get out of debt before we
progress or advance any, we will
wait long time. Progressive
towns are never out of debt. But
we do not advise going into debt.
On the contrary, We are for getting
out of debt just as fast as possible.
And we see no need of going into
debt. In fact, at this time we see
nothing to contract indebtedness
for. 'Twould have to be a mighty
rosy proposition, indeed. that would
cause us to advocate the creating
of a dollar additional debt. But
our present Indebtedness is not
hurting us any. The town is on the
up grade and as long as it contin-
ues that way our burdens will grow
less and less. What we need TO do
is to encourage the advent into our
city of every enterprise that will
add 10 our taxable wealth.
The NEWS has no axes to grind
not one. Its editor is candidate
for no oflice-not one. We have
no personal spite against any city
official. But we have deep interest
in the welfare of our little city, and
shall always be found somewhere
on the line, in the ranks, however,
working and endeavoring to make
our town wealthier, prettier, more
of power in a commercial way-in
fact good place to live in. And we
are proud of the fact that we live in
Baxter Springs.
We have spoken our little piece
our readers can not misunderstood
our position,

DON'T KNOCK.

Some persons appear to be
knocking" on the Johnston library
by saying it will cost 5000 year to
maintain it. The law only permits
a two.mill levy, which would
amount to about $500, 80 the S6O0
figure is about doubled. 1t may
safely be said that levy of one and
one.quarter mills (making $500 per
year), for the fret two or three
wears, will be as large levy as will
be needed. So why knockr

HOW WOULD MORROW DOp

In looking over the field for can
didates for the different city offices
we believe we have found a man
who would make a good mayor. /.
7. Morrow is the man. We coulu
support Mr.. Morrow for the reason
that he is a public-spirited, pro-
g-essive man, one who takes pride
In things; one who has faith III tie
city's progress and future. Mr.
Morrow could give to the city fret
class administration of city affairs.
We can see no possible objection I"

Mrs. Chas. L. Smith gave a whist
party Tuesday evening. 1t was on
the evening before Washington's
birthday, so il was called that kind
of a party. The ladies dressed in
Martha Washington style, but the
gentlemen didn't have the nerve to
tackle the kind of costumes George
used to wear. The house was dec
GRATED with flags and bunting and
whist was the game. A picture of
Washington was above the head
table, because the original was a
good player himself. II will be re-
membered that Washington lied
from a sneak" once, when he
crossed the Delaware river and
gave the Hessians a good licking.

WHERE WE STAND.

ordinarily we would not deem u
necessary to make any reply TO the
article in last weeks Republican,
which assailed us and misrepre.
seuted our position on public mat.
ters and public policy. But the ar.
ticle is 90 grossly false and was in.
spired by 80 much malice that we
do feel that it il best TO let the gen.
eral public know just exactly where
we stand.
First, we have no fight on Mayor
Brewster, nor the council. They are
all very high minded and honora.
bic men. We have the very highest
regard for the mayor as a citizen
and believe he is as honest as they
make them. Should il be our mis-.
fortune to be called from this earth,
and we had notice of Il, we know of
no man with whom we would rath.
er trust the winding up of our af.
fairs. But we disagree with him as
public official, and we have a per.
feet right to. AS to the publishing
of the city treasurer's statements or
reports, we say this: 1t is true. the
reports have not been published, as
the law requires-not for years
but is that any reason why they
should never be published-why
the law should continually be ig-
nored: We think not. The tax pay.
ers have perfect right TO know,
four times year, 60 the law says.
just how much money has been
covered into the city treasury, and
just how much has been paid out,
and what for. And if we are not
mistaken-and we are not-only a
few months ago the Republican
was clamoring for the publishing
of the treasurer's reports, even GO
ing so far as to publish the law pro-
viding for it. This is all we have to
say on this subject.
Now. as TO joints: 1t is charged
that we are in favor of return to
Charley hornism. This is not true.
We feel that the city of Baxter
Springs is not at this time ready
for the advent OF joints. The day
may come when for the protection
of our business interests thirst
-parlor will be- pecessary, but that
day has not yet arrived. True, we
are opposed 10 the prohibitory law,
but not in the sense we are held up
to the people by the keeper of the
ci;y's morals.
As to the mayorship: The office
is a thankless position-one full of
trouble, trials and tribulations. The
Republican says there are rumors
that the NEWS man is a candidate.
This is not true, or at least the ru-
mors have not reached US. The
NEWS man is not a candidate for
any office, let alone that of mayor,
and would not have the office un-
less il was rendered him almost
unanimously, and as it will never
be rendered any man in that way,
we feel safe in making that kind of
a proposition.
We want to see progressive man
elected mayor of Baxter Springs; a
man who will recognize the council
as the legislative body of Baxter
Springs; a man who will clean up
the town, improve the streets, and
welcome any enterprize that wants
to come in; man who will encour-
age the building of anything that
will add taxable property to our tax
roofs. Such man we will uphold.
We want a man who will do all
these things.
Our municipal debt is not bug.
aboo. Let the town build Up; get
lot more taxable property and our

CHAPTER XIV

Ethel was certainly very Courageous
She was also strong, young and healthy,
and had an unusual amount of lf-pride
all of which kept her from giving way
under the load of grief that came upon
her after Jacks faithess behavior. But
she felt her sorrow none the less deeply.
and hid it from her fathers sight.
Captain Polling had been away nearly
n week on visit to an old friend and
Ethel was feeling the daily monotony of
her life very rksome as she once more
set about making her fathers coffee.
There were letters on the table, but
she did not feel particularly curious
about them. AS she placed the coffee pot
on the table the writing on the envelope
next to her own plate caught her eyes.
The blood rushed to her face. and. with
nervous haste she picked up the envelope
and opened it. She read the invitation
card. and the flush fade slowly, leaving
an expression Of sorrowfu contempt on
her face.
Poor jack she sighed II wonder
IL he thinks few civilities of this kind
will make amends for his conduct N the
past? Does he imagine he can repay me-
for the loss Of his love by holding out
the hand of friendly patronage? Can
he believe it would give me pleasure to
spend an evening in watching his atten-
lions to his handsome hostess?'' She
threw the card from her with an impa-
tent sigh. How contemptibly foolish it
Is of me to care SO much after all this
time. Perhaps dad would like to see his

What a Holiday Ought to Be.

Gen. Ferdinand w. Peck, the Chi
cago capitalist, says, according to the
New York Globe. that the way the av-
erage man spends his annual vacation
is all wrong.
It's only now and then" he said,
chat man finds out what n holiday
ought to be. We all think that it
means going away from home, drink
ing more or less and wearing our
bodies out by walking, or cycling, or
mountain climbing, or something like
that. That sort of thing is supposed
to be a great rest to a tired man who
works with his brains. How a vaca-
ton spent in that way could possibly
be of benefit to a professional man
who has to use his brains | have never
been able to understand. Very likely
a professional ass might be benefited
In that way, but it's all nonsense to
say that it rests lawyers, or editors,
or authors, or even a politicians
brains. In my opinion the best and
most beneficial way in the world for
the man who makes his living solely
by the use of his gray matter to spend
lis holidays is simply to do the gentle
loaf in some green and shady spot far
away from the madding crowd, and to
keep himself in touch with the out
side world by having his favorite
newspaper mailed TO him every day"

Defines State Position,

Later in the day kilograms were sent
to Congressman Jones. Humphrey and
Cushman, notifying them of the me s.
sage sent to the senator's and stating
in addition that. should the secretary
of the interior decide to purchase the
Sunnyside canal and agree to carry out
all that cOmpany's contracts. except
the one with this state (Which is to
irrigate Cary act lands above referred
to). it would be considered here an
unwarranted and improper exercise of
the discretionary power the law gives
to the secretary. In the evening Com
missioner Ross wired to Representa-
tive Jones as follows:
Have received kilograms from all
members Of the delegation. They are
all alike. Ask Senator Piles or Sena-
tor Ankeny for copy of dispatch from
the governor himself.
II challenge any man to give one
sound reason why the state should be
deprived of the Cary selections. wheth-
er the secretary purchase the Wash
ington Irrigation Company's property
or not.
IF the secretary refllsse to approve
the states selections. the state having
complied with every requirement,
consider it a denial of the absolute
rights of the state and an abuse of the
secretary's discretionary powers.
Il regret the failure of my attempts
to confer with the congressional dele
cation on the subject during the sum-
mer vacation. VIII go to Washing
ton. d. c.. if you think it advisable.
THE United States can not posi-
bly, lose one dollar by the approval of
the states lists and the assumption of
the states contract if the secretary
purchases the Sunnyside canal, assum-
ing contracts. On the contrary, the
state loses approximately half mill
lion dollars.

a peculiar coincidence were identical

Message to Deleqa tiOn.

Gov. Mead and Commissioner Ross
promptly sent the following emphatic
telegram to Senators Piles and Ankeny
I'VE are entirely without informa-
ton as to what the secretary of the
interior has done or proposes to do.
Has he purchased Sunnyside canal?
Has he ordered extension of canal so
as to reclaim all Cary selections, or
does he propose to construct only Led
better branch covering about one
third? If he has purchased Sunny
side canal and assumed it's contracts.
why can not he also assume states
contract whit hat company? There is
nothing in the way.
1T will be easier for the government
to deal with the state than with hun
dreds of individuals. Cary selections
reimburse the government the same as
other lands, individual and state. Our
Cary selections are worth half mil
lion dollars to the state and the Unit
ed States loses nothing. The Cary
act has cost the state about $50. 900.
State has complied with every require
ment and we can now adjust matters
so that the government will be neither
delayed nor INSTRUCTED. Secretary
and reclamation service have not fur
nished any information. See resolu-
lions by representatives of commercial
bodies and clubs adopted at Yakima,
July 8, also by National Irriagtion
Congress, Portland

why the state should lose these lands.
