A. w. MULLIKEN
KILLED BY A TRAIN.

Prof. A. w. Mulliken, aged IS
years, county superintendent of
schools, was instantly killed on
Monday of this week by jump
ing from a moving M. K. & T.
train.
Prof. Mulliken had accompa-
MED Mrs. Mulliken's sister to
the depot and assisted her on the
train and to a seat. Before he
got off the train it had started,
and by the time he had reached
the coach platform the train was
two blocks from the depot, and
going at a lively speed.
In jumping from the train
Prof. Mulliken lit first upon his
feet and then struck upon his
head OH the rock ballast. Many
persons gathered at the depot
saw him fall and say he turned
several somersaults. One Of his
arms fell beneath the wheels and
was severed from his body. He
was dead when his friends reach
ed him.
The train crew did not know
that he had been killed and the
train was not stopped. His sis
ter-in-law was advised of the ac-
cident after the train reached
Parsons.
Prof. Mulliken was serving his
second term as county Superin-
tendent of schools and previous
to being elected to that office was
superintendent of the Cherokee
high school at Columbus. A wife
and one child survive him.
Judge Mcneil adjourned court
at Galena Monday when he heard
of the death of County Superin-
tendent Mulliken.

A Good Democratic Daily.

To the people of this commun-
ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. 1t has the strongest
and best Geographic service OF
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo-
cratic party and readers of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
to get at the true inwardness of
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
leans, who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst SER
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
a strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo-
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is $3.50 a
year by mail. Therefore, all who
want a Democratic daily that has
for its motto:
Here's freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom to him that would write.
will do we'll to subscribe for The

The EXCHANGE.

The regular meeting of the
Mining Exchange Tuesday night
was in the nature of a good time,
and it was really banquet, in
which at least 100 persons partic-
ipated. The guest of honor was
DR.. E. r. Buckley, state geolo-
gist of Missouri. DR.. Buckley
spent the day Tuesday in the
camp, and his speech at the ban
quet was fine one from a geol-
ogical standpoint. He also took
occasion to say that the Baxter
Springs camp is going to make a
wonderful record. DIR. Buckley
has made a lifelong study of ge-
ology, and had his subject well
in hand.
Other talks were made by Col.
Gregg of Joplin, DIR. itchfeld,
of Independence, Kansas, Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Lewis of Oklaho-
ma City, and others. Owing to
a shortage of space we are not
able to give a synopsis of the
talks made, but they were fine.
The banquet was served in the
banquet hall of the Eastern Star.

McRuer's management OF this
property is among the best in the
camp.
The Irish Maid is another
property which is, showing up
rich. The new machinery recent
| ly installed is running very salts
factory after some overhauling,
and the past ten days has been
used to sink the shaft deeper and
take up the stope in the drift so
that they are now carrying bet
ter than 14-foot face. All this
preliminary work has been done
before shooting in the face of the
drift, where drilling shows they
will break into open ground.
Chunks of jack larger than a hen
egg have been taken out OF the
drill holes. 1t is expected they
will be we'll into ore by the first
of the week. The formation and
ore are identical with the New
lands mine which is on the 40
acres joining it on the north.
The production of zinc for the
Baxter Springs Mining Camp for
the past week was $3.50 This
gives Baxter seventh place in the
producing camps of the South
western field and it would have
taken sixth place had it been pos
sible to have gotten cars to ship
ore. In addition to a lack OF cars
there has also been several mills
shut down making changes and
repairs, while in the case OF two
of the best producers in the camp
there has been a shut down owing
to some litigation growing out OF
dispute among stockholders in
one case and the dispute with a
contractor in the other case. The
year 1907 should show a wonder
full increase over 1906. The older
properties will be in better shape
to produce, being better equipped
and opened up, while some OF the
newer properties of more phe-
romenal richness will be equip
ped and producing ore at a rate
which will be surprise to the
older camps. Among this num-
Der might be mentioned the New
lands mine, generally known as
the Merritt mine, which is now
erecting a 2OO-ton mill, which
will be completed by April IS.
and Of which big things are ex-
pected in the way of producing
ore. Oh. Sparks, who was here
recently and looked over the
Newlands mine, pronounced It
identical with their famous mine
at Badger and his opinion is sub |
Stimulated by many who have
seen both properties. Besides the
Newland mine the Lancaster is
showing up pheuomenally rich,
but is much different in forma-
ton, making up in great sheets
of almost solid jack. The owners

Work has been resumed at the

ment of J. H. McCreary.
Several very important consol-

it is expected announcements will
be made in a very short time.
The Sunny Side mill of the
Western Mining Company is
again running. The mill has
been thoroughly overhauled and
put in good condition, and we
confidently expect big outputs
from the property now.
The Blue Bird is a mighty
promising prospect in the Baxter
Springs camp. The Blue Bird is
lust east of the. Newlands & Mer'
rift property, and is owned by
Ginder & Kraft. Good ore is be-
ing taken out and the owners be-
lieve they are going to have a
good mine.
Just east of the Newlands mine
and across the road is the Blue
Bird mine owned by Ginder &
Kraft. At this mine ore was en-
countered at a depth of IS feet,
showing very rich in lead and
about a l4-foot face. These gen.
tlemen are making preparations
to fully develope this property
and have associated with them
Joplin capital.
The NJ. X. & T. mill is steadi-
" in operation and is making its
regular weekly turn-ins of ore.
The consolidation of this proper
ty with the Ward mine and the
installation of an additional ca
pacity of 6OO-tons per day will
make a showing for the camp
which will attract wide attention
in the Southwestern field. Don

A Sunny Disposition.

A very charming old lady says
that if she had the power to choose
the best from all the good things in
life, she would not ask for weather,
because of it, responsibilities; she
would not ask for beauty because Of
its strain on character; she would
not ask for health, glorious as the
treasure is, nor for genius, but she
would pray for a sunny disposition,
as the boon which confers more hap
piness upon its owner and more hap
piness upon those with whom one
comes in contact, than any other
which falls to the lot of any human
creature.
Most people would see nothing
worth while in this poor woman's
life, says Success; some would even
commit suicide were they situated as
she is; yet she manages to find some
hing beautiful, something worth
Measuring up in the memory even in
Ter darkest days Of sorrow.

A Good Name.

Sam Brown he kept a great big store,
And advertised his goods,
Till in a dozen years or more
He wasn't ID the woods.
Not much was Sam. He had wad
OF comfortable size,
As do the great majority
OF men who advertise.
Now, when a man has made his wad,
He buys a horse or two,
Or three or four, and tries them out
To see what they can do.
Sam had a dozen, but on one
He set his heart and pile
And trained him for the County Race
To do the fastest mile,
Sam called him advertising, and
His friends all asked why he
Should give a horse a name like that,
And sam SAID they would see.
They laughed at him and at his horse,
And guyed the name he had,
But Same, he never said a word,
Though sometimes he looked sad.
Well, by and by. the race came of,
And Sans horse won, hands down,
And what Sam gathered in on bets
Almost broke up the town
"lou see, dear friends, Sam grin
ned at them,
While empting out their skins,

BECKHAM FOR PRESIDENT
Major Sanders. Of Louisville, Makes the
Nomination In the n. Y. Sun.

The New York Sun prints a
column communication from Maj.
ID. W. Sanders, of Louisville, nom
mating Gov Beckham, of Kentucky,
for President of the United States
on the Democratic ticket In his
statement of the case Major Sanders
saws in part:
Governor Beckham has displayed
qualities in his administration of
State government which show most
clearly and distinctly that he is a
man Of unquestionable integrity,
free from intrigue, determined to
give to his State the best admins
tration under the laws within his
power. He has shown more states
manship, more tact, more diplomacy
and more frmness in the mainte-
nance of a principle and an execu-
ton of duties devolving upon him
as the Governor of the State than
any other man who has presided in
that Office for the last fifty years.
mo man has the confidence of
the people of Kentucky to greater
extent than Governor Beckham. 1t
is true he is young man of most
wonderful facultles-evenly balanced
fully developed, and it may be safely
sand of him that egotism, vanity and
selfishness constitute no part of his
predominating characteristics.
Governor Beckham represents
the progressive element of the State
be has the hearty and enthusiastic
support of the younger members of
the Democratic party in all the old
Democratic counties. and if the
national Democratic INVENTION.
should honor him by nominating him
for President of the United States
the entire Democratic party, not
only in Kentucky, but throughout
the South, would enthusiastically
rally round him. Certainly, in the
selection OF a Democrat from the
Southern States Kentucky could
afford to present Gov. Beckham as
the man who more completely sup
plies the qualifications required of
the Democratic nominee than any
other Democrat in the State. Seven
years as Governor, the nominee of
the Democratic primary throughout
the State for United States Senator.
which is equivalent to an election
in thi, State, and the statesmanlike |
ability he has shown in his manage /
ment of public affairs-all this pre-

commanding figure worthy of the |
