THE ELECTION.

The election passed of very quietly
In this city. The average Republican
majority was polled, except in the case
of Hoch and Mulliken, Miss Williams
Democrat, for county superintendent,
only losing the city by 4S TO Multi
ken, Republican. Hoch's majority in
Baxter Springs was only 100, as
against i5i two years ago. Morgan
for county attorney, ran little ahead
of his ticket in Baxter because he lives
here.
The. vote was considerably heavier
than two years ago, and this shows
that there has been a considerable
growth in the town.
Price and Doty were elected justices
of the Peace, Kimball and Hemstreet
were elected constableS.
A great deal Of scratching on the
state and county tickets was done, and
for this reason We are not able in this
issue 10 tell just who is elected, or al
least We can not give the figures with
any degree Of accuracy.
We will give The correct vote next
Week.
In the county the Republicans
elected the entire ticket except
commissioner from the first dis
trict, and Possibly register OF
deeds, the vote on the latter office
being very close, and the lucky
man will have only three or four
votes to spare.
Morgan for county attorney
was elected BY n Plurality of "a,
while Hatton for sheriff had a
Plurality of almost 1900. McNeill
for Judge had a Plurality of nearly
six hundred.
In Roseland Precinct the So
cialists polled as many votes as
the Republicans did.
Hoch's Plurality is less than
1000. Two years ago it was

The Baxter Mining Exchange
held a meeting Tuesday evening
at which only a few members were
Present, Possibly on account of
the election. The one matter
which was taken up was the ques-
ton of getting REPORTS OF lead
and zinc Produced in the camp
Published and the report regular
ly sent out. Motion was made to
have a committee of three ap-
Pointed, the chair APPOINTED Mes
srs. ]. c. Haskett, E. L. Wright
and A. w. Abrams to inform W.
Is. Baxter, Postmaster, that mo-
ton had been Passed inviting ].
L. Zook, statictician of the south
west lead and zinc fields to meet
with the exchange to discuss
plans whereby correct statistics
of the field could be obtained, and
also to take the matter up with
Mr.. Baxter. COMPLAINT has been
made that the reports of the ore
Produced in the field have not
been reported regularly, and this
move is in the interest of greater
regularity in this connection.
The action of the exchange was
due to the fact that the report
given by the exchange was given
to Mr.. Baxter, who does the re-
Porting for this field, but who
did not report the full amount
obtained and the ore Produced
and sold, also the fact the ore
sold was credited to the land
owner instead of the mine owner.
