That Was tho Value Of the

Baxter Springs Camp
Last Week - Safes We're
Much Larger. However
Better transportation Is
Assured. and Our Min
Ina Camp VIII Boom.

Five thousand four hundred
and eighty-four dollars worth OF
ore was loaded out of the Baxter
Springs camp last week. The
sales were very much larger,
however. Now that better ia
cilities are assured in the may of
transportation, our readers and
those interested in the camp may
look for an unprecedented boom
in our mining district. The
amounts of ore loaded out are as

JOHN GEORGE PoLSTER.

One by one the old settlers are
passing to the great beyond. The
latest one to join the silent ma
jority was J. G. Polster, who
died last Sunday evening at his
rooms over his store. Mr.. Pol
ster had been i'll only a few days,
and his death was quite a sur
prise to a large number of his
friends, who had no idea his, ill
ness was of a serious nature. Mr..
Polster had been failing in health
for a long time, however.
J. G. Polster, or George" Pol
ster, as he was known, came to
Baxter Springs in 1868, and en-
gagged in the drug business on the
very spot of ground on which he
died. For a long time he did
business in a frame building, but
during the growth of the city
] about twenty years ago. he had
4 the old frame building torn down
and erected in its stead a build
| ing which was a credit to the
town. Born in the old country,
he knew the value of nice sur
roundings and he made his build
ings and grounds conform to his
ideas along those lines, and it
was common talk that he had the
neatest business place in the
Southwest.
Mr.. Polster was a member of
the city council of this city for
fourteen years consecutively and
no man will say he did not make
a good councilman. He always
strived to do something to make
the town go ahead, and never
shirked any duty in this respect
that might fall on him.
Mr.. Polster was a very peculiar
man in many ways. He was never
married, yet he thought a great
deal of children, and many a
child has been made happy
through his liberality. He lived
above his store, where he had
nice rooms. Many were the phil
anthropic deeds Mr.. Polster did,
but he never told of them. Many
a time he has said to the writer,
MY religion is to help one an
other" and in this respect his re-
ligion was consistent. When he
was once the friend of a man he
was a friend indeed.
From a financial standpoint
Mr.. Polster made a success of
life, and died possessed of a great
deal of this worlds goods.
He was born January 9, 1910,
and was at the time of his death
81 years, l month and IS days
old. He leaves two brothers and
two sisters, all residents of st.
Louis, although one of his sisters,
Miss Lizzie, has lived with her
brother here for several months
to look after him in his declining
age.
Services were held at the resi-
dence Tuesday evening, con-
Quoted by Rev. John E. Largent,
and a large number of people
were present.
The remains were taken to st.
Louis Tuesday night and funeral
services were held in that city
yesterday. The body was inter-
red beside the remains of his

True worth is in being-not in

In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blind

And spite of the fancies Of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as
kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth"

the number of applications before the
land Office does not appear to get very
much smaller. Heretofore those who
were living on their claims and had
made application to make proof, have
been forced to stay on the land until
their time came to make proof. Now
comes the ruling that after they have
lived on their claims the required time

make application to the land office for
