A. G. Little, of Girard, was
the oldest man on the reunion
grounds at Baxter last week. He
will be 90 years old in a very few
months and is quite active and
has attended all reunions that
have been given in Baxter, and
says he intends to do 50 as long
as he lives. He cast his first pres
idential vote for Harrison over
sixty-five years ago, and has
never missed an election since
that time. He believes it IS q
mans duty to vote and he hopes
to be able to vote many times yet.
From appearances he may easily
live to Be 100 years old.

the extra good order maintained
on the grounds during the big

managed in a very systematic

in the performance of them there
was no friction, hence the smooth

There is a large gathering OF
old soldiers at Baxter this week.
It has now become necessary for
a large scope of county to be COW
cred in order to get a large as
semblade of old veterans at re-
union. The ranks are thinning
each year and not many wears
hence TAPS" will be sounded over
the grave of last of that hero:c
army. Many of those at Baxter
are stopped and bowed i'll years,
battled-scarred and worn. Many
carry their ages we'll and seem t
to yet enter an army and render
heroic service, but years are tell
ing and soon We will know them
only in memory. The sound of the
drum and fife makes them all
feel young for a tine and they
step to the music and swell with
a patriotism known only to those
who have borne the hardships OF
army life. 1t is a pleasing sight
to see these warriors gathered
around the camp fire singing pa
triotic songs and reminiscing
their army experiences. Long
live these grand old men. Scam

AS a beginning, a small, but
strictly high class lecture course,
consisting of four numbers, has
been contracted for at a cost OF
S175. Coming as they do, on a
high salaried guarantee from one
of the best lyceum bureaus in the
United States insures each one
to be of the highest order.
Towns much smaller than Baxter
Springs have splendid lecture
courses and we see no reason why
a high class series of entertain
ments can not be supported by
our people. The course will
probably be opened by the Fa-
nous Dixie Jubilee singers. SUI
perior to and successors to the
Tennessee Jubilee Singers, fol-
lowed by Ash Davis, the cartoon
ist, Brush, the magician, and DR..
Watson, the humorist and orator.
The price of a season ticket is
one dollar, with privilege of re-
serving a seat for the entire
course. The ordinary price as
charged for the first number
alone, is in most places 75c and
one dollar. Think, then, of hear
ing this entertainment for only
25c by the season ticket plan.
Heralds containing complete in
formation will be sent as nearly
as possible to the different resi-
dences with the request that they
be carefully read and saved for
future reference. If this effort
is properly encouraged there is
nothing to prevent our city from
eventually having a lecture course
second to none. The influence
for good of a high grade lecture
course can hardly be overestimat-
ed. Anyone wishing a season
ticket or further information may
procure same by seeing us. Dates
win be announced later.

PARK STREET KICKING

Protest is Being made Against the
Grade of the Proposed Pavement
Park street, west of the railway, is
kicking and it is probable that the
Street Assessment committee and the
City Engineer will have some unpleas-
ant sessions with the property owners.
Tie trouble now is the grade Of the
street. 1t is claimed that the street,
as it is now being graded, will be far
below the grade on which many of
the sidewalks are laid. City Engineer
Moth states that the street is being
paved in keeping with the city grade,
and that if the sidewalks are wrong
he can offer no remedy unless the
property owners change the side
wslKs.
In some places there is difference
Of more than foot between the
grade of the street and the walk.

CoNKLIN WILL FIGHT

Central Figure in Woodstock Scandal
Released From County Jail on Bonds
Edward Conklin, who was the cen

ETY. scandal which resulted in Conklin
being arrested at Twin Lakes in this
county on a serious charge, secured
his freedom this afternoon when he
furnished bonds In the sum of thou
sand dollars. The bonds were fur
nished by the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee company of Baltimore.
James F. Casey, of Woodstock, who
has been engaged to defend Conkl;n,
states that the case will be fought
out or its merits and that Conklin had
no intention of pleading guilty. He
declares that P. w. Murphy, of Wood
stock, whoj secured the arrest of
Conklin, acted only on account of his
desire to avenge himself for the in
terest Conklin had taken in his for
mer wife. 1t is alleged that. evidence
of most sensational nature will be
presented at the trial Of the case.
The case will not come up for trial
until the March term Of the circuit
court.

WINDS UP SEASON
Kenosha Baseball Team Closes
Season of 1906 by Losing to
Racine
ERRORS BRING FINAL DEFEAT

The Kenosha baseball team wound
up the season of 1906 on the Racine
diamond on Sunday afternoon, when
the Racine team, strengthened by the
addition of Killian, of Detroit, and
Hermann, the former Kenosha catcher
made monkeys of the Kenosha boys
and won the game by score of s
to 2. More than three thousand peo-
pie witnessed the game which was
for purse of a hundred and fifty dol
lars and half the gate receipts. In
cidentally both managers got away
with some good oney. The game
was something of hippodrome and
none of the Kenosha players took any
trouble to keep the score. Killian
held the Kenosha hitters to six hits
and Pulse was just as effective. Kill
liam struck out four of the Kenosha
batters, while Pulse forced thirteen of
the Racine men to fan the air. The
Kenosha team showed a/great re-
.versal of form since the game with
the worlds champions on Friday and
one man Klopf was credited with four
errors, which we're largely RESPONSE
bic for the winning of the Racine
team. Block, who is usually there
with the goods at all times, seems to
have been of the opinion that the sea-
son was over and he also played with
the ball long enough to aid the Ra.
cine players.
Knipple seemed to be the man that
had the real kick coming as he sent
I the ball rolling far over the track and
the fielder returned it so quick that
the people in the grand stand thought
that the fielder must have had another
ball. Every one supposed that. Bill
had secured home run, but he was
stopped at second base. The Racine
team could not be accredited with the
victory as it was entirely due to Kill
liam and Hermann, the importations,
and the errors of the Kenosha players.
The members of the Kenosha team
will probably leave Kenosha for the
year this evening and it is not ex-
pected that any further games will be
scheduled. The game on Sunday was
an added one just to give the Racine
manager chance to clean up. The
Racine team will play the White Sox
at Racine tomorrow and it is expected
that quite crowd of Kenosha fans
will go up to see the game.

JAIL FOR TRUANTS
Chief of Police O'Hare Will Inforce the
Truancy Laws at all Costs

Truancy Laws at all Costs
playing hockey" is to be a for
gotten pastime in Kenosha and the
boy who skips school in the city in
the future will be in danger of prison
bars. Chief of Police O'Hare has
worked hard and long to keep certain
young boys in school and failing to
get results he has instructed his off,
GERS that when boys are taken repeat
eddy for truancy they shall be placed
in the county jail.
Charles Purcell of the Durkee
school and Joe Moldoes of the Weis-
kopf school we're the first to fall under
the order. These two boys have each
spent night in jail and if they do not
remain in school an effort will be made
to have them sent to some state insti-
tuition. Both boys have become con-
firmed truants and have been repeat
edly taken to school by the officers.
No partia1ity will be shown in carry
ing out the order and the boys must
go to school until after they are past
the age of fourteen.
