The Big Reunion.

One of the grand features OF Bax-
ter Springs is the big soldiers reun'
ion. which has been annually held
at Camp Logan, near this city Tor
the past % years. What Is known
as the Baxter Massacre. occurred IN
1863, near the famous medical springs
in the north part of the city. Al
ter the union forces had surrendered,
Quantrell, who commanded the ReDel
or Guerrilla forces, put to death all
his prisoners save few who were lett
for dead OH the field. In 1882 a
small squad Of veterans of the army
met on the old battle field and held
sort of reunion, and this meeting
proved so successful 1t was agreed 10
hold annual meetings of like char
acter every year thereafter.
These meetings have grown IN
magnitude, and increased year after
wear. until now they are the largest
soldiers reunions held In any part OF
the world. Magnificent grounds OF
100 accres In extent have been pur-
chased and beautitied by the assocl-
alton, and every year, In the last
week in August the old comrades
and their families and friends gather
in Camp Logan" to the number OF
fifty thousand or more, where. they
hold the grandest, most patriotic ana
enjoyable meetings ever held by
mortal man. They come from all
parts of the country with their teams
and camping outfits, bringing their
families with them and spend from
one to two weeks around their camp
fires, discussing the old incidents OF
the war, politics and other matters
of interest.
Many speakers OF state and nation
al reputation are on hand with their
patrotic talks: bands Of music and
rlee clubs fill in the time at the big
amphitheater and the outside grounds
are we'll filed with shows and every
sort OF entertainments to amuse ana
interest the people. There Is about
half mile of lunch stands, eating
houses, side shows, fakirs, shooting
galleries. merry-go-rOunds, peanut
roasters, juice racks, hot tamalas'
cider presses, cigar spindles, organ
grinders, Jew stores, temperance
lecturers, red lemonade, knife racks,
and thousand other resplendent at
fractions to be seen no where except
at the Big Baxter Springs Reunion.
There are other reunions held In
various parts OF the country, but
they are Is nothing compared with
the Baxter AFFAIR. Special railroad
trains run right into the grounds
carrying from one TO two thousand
passengers. and Il takes about 80

Surrounded as 1t Is, by great
many fine properties, we can not see
how the Old Abe property can help
making a big lot of money for It's
owners.
The Old Abe forty has been drill
ed enough to prove the existence OF
a big body of ore all over the tract,
or. rather, all under IL. The ore Is
of high grade, commanding the very
highest price.
To the north of the mill a short
distance, and OH the forty, the COM
pany has recently had a drill hole
nut down. and this hole showed the
existence of two runs of ore, one be-
ing struck at the s7-foot level and
the other at the ll2-foot level. The
cuttings from this hole and from
both runs were very rich.
Roth lead and zinc ores are found
on this property, although with the
development so far made the zinc
ore predominates.

Around the Old Abe a small town
has sprung up. 1t is called Lincoln
Vile, and In the town can he found
dry goods stores, grocery stores, meat
markets, hotels, pool halls, refresh
ment stands. restaurants, lunch
stands, in fact everything usually
found in a mining camp, except sa-
looms. Being In the Indian Terri
tory, of course the saloon is barred,
and were 1t not forbidden by law,
it would not be allowed anyway, as
the people found in lead and zinc
mining district are not the kind us
ually found in other kinds of mining
camps. They are Americans, and
very law abiding.
The Old Abe is very valuable
piece of property, and certainly a
credit to the Baxter Springs mining
ditrict. We predict for 1t a very
glorious future. A tramway,
known as the .'Leckie' tram, which
is a part of the Old Abe's plant, is

one of the interesting sights to visit
ors to this famous mine. One man
manipulating this interesting pee
of mechanism from small station
on the ground, hoists a 1000 pound
can of dirt from the bottom OF the
shaft, dumping and returning it
again to the shaft in less than one
minutes time.
A well equipped and efficient fire
department consisting Of twenty-four
well trained men is another feature
of the "Gld Abe" working equip
ment. A duplex Gardner hire
pump is located in the center OF the
plant with a reel holding 500 feet OF
two and ne-half inch hose. Through
careful drilling and by the aid OF
certain signals in the event OF lire
or other danger every man can be
taken out OF the mine In less than
two minutes.

BelRinn Marriage Mnrt.

Two thousand bachelors from all parts
of Belgium, many from France and some
from Germany, swept down on the village
of Ecaussines-Lalaign to find brides, says
the Brussels correspondent Of the London
Express.
1t was the fourth yearly marriage mart,
as established by the maids of Ecaussines,
and as there are only ninety-seven mar
riageable young women in that quaint lit
tie place the supply of matrimonial part
ners fell deploraby short of the demand.
All the same, the proceedings were a
great success.
The men began to arrive early in the
morning but it was toward noon before
trainloads of them appeared. There were
all sorts and conditions of men. One man
OF 70 had travelled all the way from Lux
emburg to find wife, to whom he prom
Used a dowry that would place her beyond
want. There were tradesmen, clerks, me-
chanics, miners, laborers; indeed, no
branch of trade appeared to be unrep-
resented.
Gay banners Of welcome, triumphal
arches with notices of encouragement for
prospective husbands, figures of Cupid and
hearts pierced by arrows were to be seen
everywhere; but the local authority had
LOt dSSSptCu thV youh6 "OihSh . pAOPSSNa
to name the main streets. place de Fian-
cailles." place Conjugale' and place de
la Concorde."
At noon the bachelors were formally
welcomed at the gates of the village by
the spinster committee. Last years presi-
dent and several members of the COM
mittee are now married as the result of
the festivities twelve months ago and
others had been elected in their place.
All marched to the "Grande Place
where there was an open air concert. The
bands played nothing but nuptial marches
and love songs. At the close an adjourn
ment- was made to the town hall, where
the young women took their places at Ia
bles, on which stood bowls of pink roses
with such notices as Hope On" Love, "
BE Trusting" and Have Faith"
A vacant chair was left beside each
girl and at a given signal the men with
matrimonial intent made a rush to secure
the seats. Then coffee and sweet cake
were served, followed by a bonbon tasting
of licorice. When this was over the woman
president made a speech on THE Art of
Pleasing Man." which was wildly ap-
plauded Dancing in the open air ended
the program of the festivities.
Hundreds OF letters many of them very
amusing. were received this year from in
tending husbands. A railway official from
Paris anxiously inquired whether in the
event of not finding a girl to his taste he
could refuse to marry and would be al
lowed to leave quietly.
Some bachelors from Gllly (France) ex-
planned that they were young, good look
ink and earning e12 a month and were
anxious to find wives from Ecausslnes
where the girls are renowned for their
good looks and quiet domestic life.
Two friends, a butcher and hairdresser
asked to be recommended to two nice
girls by the president, but SO mixed up
their qualifications that II seemed as IL
the butcher shaved his animals with anti
septic treatment, and the hairdresser
slaughtered his customers humanely.
