Charlie Alvey, son Of the ire

vale, was a visitor in this city
the fore part of the week.
W. c. Judd, superintendent of
yards for the Baxter Lumber
Company, has moved into the
McGregor property on Main.
T. II. Goodwin has moved into
the property he purchased from
A. Willard on North Grant. He
has improved the place until it is

G. w. Daniels has sold ; lots
in Van Epp's addition to Henry
Rasch, who will build a nice res
Iidence; also lot in the same adj
dition to Charlie Gregory.
There are about a dozen small
dwelling houses in process Of
construction already, and a good
many contemplate building just
as soon as work on the electric
line begins.
1t is a source of qualification
that the recent freeze cleaned up
the Ben Davis apple blossoms
along with the rest of the fruit.
The Ben Davis is not quite so
good as a yellow pumpkin, but
is superior to a Kershaw for some
purposes.
The following is contributed
by a former resident of Carthage,
Mo-, the prettiest town in the
West, and is worthy of thought
then quick action: THE COM
ing of the grass, leaves and
flowers should suggest to the
residents of this beautiful little
city that they should bestir them
selves and help nature cover I'M
slightly objects with vines. Ma
ture covers everything on the
ground, and will, If assisted by
having seed planted, cover every
unsightly object, whether it be
an outhouse, n broken down
fence, old shed or what not. In
the cities the children who never
see a green field are taught to
beautify their homes by placing
boxes on the window sills and on
the porches, and in this beautiful
little place everything should be
under natures cover. a green
coat, and if to this flowers are
added, so much the better. Ma
ture is beautiful, and in her soft
green grass dotted with flowers,
she has taught us the lesson OF
trying to be as beautiful as pos
sible. The new library building
is in the center of a park which
would be considered a fortune in
a large city, and if it cleaned up
and lot of Benches placed in it,
it may become to Baxter Springs
this summer what the plaza is to
the City of Mexico, or the large
parks to the big cities. Weneed
a clean place to sit, but we need
the yard about the building fixed
up for two other reasons is
that it would be more pleasing
and attractive to the eye; the
other that 1t would teach tbs
children the beauties of nature

1t is said that two more Du-
luthians have become interested
in the Baxter Springs camp-Dr.
ID. d. Murray, city health COM
missioner of Duluth. and A. 5.
Mcdonald, who is interested in a
large dredging concern in the
harbors of Lake Superior. These
gentlemen have secured leases on
200 acres of very good ground in
this camp, and have sub-leased a
part of it to Galena parties. The
Duluth gentlemen will drill and
thoroughly prospect the rest oil
their holdings. Duluth men are
very valuable acquisitions to any
camp, for they all seem born to
the business, coming, as they do,
from a mining section.
Geo. F. Braun of Galena has
been appointed deputy fish and
game warden for Cherokee coun-
ty, and he has accepted the posi-
ton. Mr.. Braun says he will
certainly prosecute offenders OF
the fish and game laws, and we
hope he will. Although the sea-
SON for shooting ducks expired
on the 18th day of this month,
yet there were a lot of fellows
shooting ducks above the big
dam at Lowell last Sunday, the
2lst. Mr. Braun is a sportsman
and believes in protecting the
game and fish according to the
law. We hope all who believe
as Mr.. Braun does viii render
)him every assistance.

one that should receive the at

the way to do this is to find out
