POLICE COURT MATTERS.

Police Judge Mapes had three
cases in his court Monday morn
ing, the first one on the docket
being the City Of Baxter Springs
against Charles Bingham. II
seems that about two months age
Charlie had an alteration with
some fellow, and after a war OF
words he knocked the fellow
down with a club. Inasmuch as
the club was harder than the fell
lows head he became angry and
waxed wroth, getting so choleric
that he swore out a warrant for
Charlie. Charlie got away, how
ever, and did not come to town
until Saturday evening, when
after a very exciting foot race,
he was captured by Marshal Kim
ball. He was fined So and costs,
amounting to $1,000.
The next mark put up before
Judge Mapes was a Cherokee In
dian named Dan House. Dan
had been imbibing something
stronger than water, probably
Cedarene, and he was making a
fool of himself, when he ran into
the protecting arms of the mar
shall, who took him to the cooling
station, commonly called a Jail.
He admitted it all to Judge
Mapes, who imposed fine of 50
and costs, amounting to a single
cross.
Ed Rains, who lives northwest
of this city, also took on an over
dose of Cedarine, and for making
a long cared thing of himself he
was gathered in by the marshal.
Before Judge Mapes he reckoned
he was guilty and said so. The
court reckoned about three dol
lars and costs would satisfy out
ragged justice, and this was paid
by Rains. The total amount was
also a single cross.

THE HOBO MINE IS SOLD.

Messrs. Parker, Buckner and
Smith have sold the famous Hobo
mine to J. L. Locke and Chas. d.
Madison of St. Paul, MINI. The
consideration is not stated, but
we are informed the price was a
very large one. The purchasers
will at once make arrangements
to further develop the property,
and mill will likely be built
this fall. AT the present time
Mr.. ]. w. Watson, manager OF
the Omaha, will look after the
property.
Mr.. Locke is president of the
Fidelity Insurance Company, and
Mr.. Madison is treasurer of the
same company. They are both
men of means and will be the
means of bringing many more
men into the camp.
The Hobo is one of the very
best mines in the camp, and has
made Messrs. Parker, Buckner
and Smith considerable money.
The ore from the mine has al
ways been cleaned on hand jigs,
except short time when the dirt
was run over the Sunnyside mill.
The dirt runs very high in ore,
and the dirt is easily mined.

TWAS A SAD DAY
FOR WEBB CITY
The Grays From That City
Could Not Get a Look I'm
When They Played the
Baxter Boys Sunday

ming at 2:3O occurred the Slaugh-
ter of the Webb City Grays, an
organization which thought it
knew how to play the national
game called base ball. But it
was not for them. Instead it
was "skiddoo," ''23," NORWOOD
and gall. Coming from home as
the Grays did, full of hope and
pent-up enthusiasm, and going
home full of prunes and despair,
coupled with defeat, as the Grays
did, was enough for one day.
The Grays played good ball
until they found it was utterly
impossible. for them to score, and
then they went to pieces, up in
the air and down in the mouth.
Only one of them could smile,
and that was the fellow on first
base. In the face of defeat and
hard roasting that cuss would
laugh and have as much fun as
anybody. The fans out near
base decided to let him alone, as
a fellow who could be cheerful
under such circumstance was all
right.
But the Baxter boys did not
have any cinch on the game I'M
til the seventh inning. Neither
side scored in the first, second and
third innings, and in the fourth
Baxter managed to get one man
over the home plate. The same
thing happened in the fifth, and
the sixth yielded nice goose
egg for each side. 1t was now
up to the seventh, and here it
was that the pitcher for the WIS.,
itors went up in the air. The
home team found him and batted
him at will, piling up five more
scores. The eighth inning was
a goose egg for each side, and in
the ninth the visitors could not
even start.
Verify, it was a glorious day
for Baxter. The score:
Webb City 10000 90 0 90
Baxter 0001 l o 5 ~
SHORT STOPS.
Manager Kenoyer has secured
five or six good teams to play ball
here during the big reunion.
The crowd was very orderly,
and the Baxterites had on a
smile that wouldn't come off.
The pitcher for the visitors
was hard to find, but when he
was found he was pounded merci-
lessly.
Baxter Springs has some of the
best female rooters we ever heard.
Their roofing is enough to rattle
any visiting team.
AS a catcher Holt is fine. We
he is a good pitcher,
but there is no one in the Baxter
team who can hold him.
Adair's pitching was of the
very highest quality. He GER
tainly pitched mighty good ball.
His drops were too many for the
visitors.
The star plays of the game
we're made by Shields. He knock
ID home run in the seventh, let
ting in Holt, and in the eighth
ne made a single play at first
which put out two men.
We are told that Joe Adair, the |
pitcher for Baxter, was offered
80 to throw the game, but he
Indignantly turned the offer
Town. The offer was made by a
couple of former residents of this
:ity.
Mr.. Kenoyer, the manager,
'ays the game next Sunday, when
Falkland will be here, will not be
70 one-sided, unless it is Baxter
which gets the short side. Fair
and has one of the best teams in

ielders. The battery is also fine

THE MINES.

Total sales. 2t7A3o 3o,45o
Values: Zinc. 81. s4s; lead, $I,367; to-
tai, S,aI5.
An air shaft is being sunk at
the M. X. & Il. This mine is
making lots of money for its
owners. Don McRuer; the mana
ger, and one of the owners also,
predicts bigger turn-ins from this
property as soon as the air shaft
is completed.
A mill will be built at the Ward
mine on the Mission pasture.
Work will begin just as soon as
the contract is let. Lumber is
being bought already. Mr.. Don
McRuer, who represents the
Ward Mining Company, tells us
the new mill will be of five hum
dred tons capacity, and will be a
complete one in every way.
There will be two big rougher
jigs instead of one, as is usually
the case in a mill, and the big
rolls will be 36-inch. All other
rolls will be 30-inch. The Ward
mine has as good dirt as can be
found in any mining district, and
when the big mill is put in COM
mission there will be a very big
addition to the weekly output.

fact, apart from the torrid climate, 1t

A SILLY SAYING,

'r1t is a common but silly opin-
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is"
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds
/" For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which 30 seriously interfere
with its usefulness" o This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all it's wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating a medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and ia
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri-
ties, ThEoat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu-
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR..
G. G. Shannon, of Canada, says:

ENGLAND WAS Ready
TO FIGHT GERMANY

LONDON, January 4. - On unim-'
peachable authority, the inner history
of the Anglo-German dispute In con-
nectfon with the concessions made TO
Germany in Madeira can now be dis
closed. It shows plainly that Great
Britain and Germany recently We're on
the verge of war. The facts here set
forth can be vouched for despite any
denials that may be made. The Ger
man concessionaries in Madeira desir-
ed to expatriate a British subject but
Portugal declined to insist on the ex-
natriation. Germany threatened 10
send warships to the Tagus. and Portu-
gal thereupon informed the British
Minister at Lisbon.
A cabinet meeting was held, at which
It was decided that a British squad
ron should Immediately sail from Glib
raltar and take up position nity
miles from the mouth of the Tagus.
This move was carried out SO secret
ly that news of it did not get into any
of the newspapers. Then followed d
momentous discussion in London. The
British Admiralty was in favor of CIV
ing no information to Germany and al
lowing the German warships to proceed
unexpectedly to the Tagus Eventu-
ally, however, 1t was decided ofhciaily
to inform Portugal of the fleets posi-
tion and readiness to support her. Tne
information was formally handed py
the Portugal authorities to the Ger
man Minister at Lisbon, and no more
threats were heard.
Portugal begged Germany and Great
Britain to settle the Madeira affair be-
tween themselves. Germany now Is
! willing to give up the concessions II
Great Britain will persuade Portugal
to indemnify the concessionaries. Thus
| an incident which at one time was
more serious than the public ever
imagined gives promise Of an early
| settlement.
