The country roads are simply
a fright-hub deep in mud-but
they are not very much worse
than two or three places on the
streets of Baxter Springs. We
have reference to the street north
of the postoffice, West Sheridan
and South Military street. There
is a reason for the country roads
being bad, but there is no excuse
for these bad places in town.
With twelve thousand dollars in
the city treasury, one-fourth OF
which is available for street
work, if the city officials wanted
to fix the streets, there is no ex-
cuse for such a condition of af-
fairs. What in the world do we
pay taxes for, anyway

We wonder if it would not be
a good idea for the city council to
hire a competent engineer and
have some needed street work
done. If the council should
loosen up and decide to have
some work done it would be a
good idea to hire some man who
knows how to do il, both from an
engineering and street work
standpoint. Enough money has
been wasted in the past. What
we need now is some work that
amounts to something.

Disagree About Steel Rails.

NEW YORK. October At was reported
yesterday that the committees appointed
by the railroads and the steel manufacture
ers to agree upon new type of steel rail
were no nearer an agreement and that the
chances favored an agreement to disagree.
Absolute confirmation Of the deadlock was
not Forthcoming either at the offices of the
steel manufacturers or In important rail-
road circles. but 1t was generally believed
that two reports would be submitted to the
general conference which Judge Gary of the
steel corporation is expected to CALL in the
near future. The chemical composition Of
the rail remains the main point OF disa-
greement.

LEFT $4,000 LYING ABOUND.
Thoughtless Woman Lost Her Breath,
But Found Her Money Safe.

When it comes to leaving large punches
of money lying around loose as if it were
so much junk, the fair sex easily wins the
cream tarts. This morning a Washington
woman walked up to the ticket office of
the New National Theater and slid enough
currency of the realm across the board to
purchase two tickets to ..The Silver Girl
from Treasurer Fowler. Putting the tick
cts carefully away. she left the lobby. Five
minutes afterward another woman came in
and bought two more tickets, and then
handed to Mr.. Fowler two long envelopes
which she said she had just found lying on
a radiator. probably left by somebody.
Mr.. Fowler put the envelopes to one side
and thought nothing more about them I'M
til the first woman rushed back into the
lobby and breathless!y demanded whether
two envelopes had been found. When they
were handed to her she tore them open
feverishly. exposing to the hypnotized gaze
of the theater staff what looked like half d
cord Of real yellow bank notes. which.
when counted reached the pile of $1,000.
With sigh of relief the woman left the
theater with her money recovered, but her
breath was still lost.

Gas stock was offered on the exchange
today at 70 but the bid did not go be-
yond 7S11. and there seemed to be no strong
desire to buy even at that price At any
rate there were no transactions, although
options were freely to be had at 50 and
also an eighth of point less.
The recession In the figures for this stock.
which bega-- yesterday and was perhaps
more noticeab'' today. is no. attributed to
bad news. for as far as known very re-
cent news of anv sort has been received
relative to future action. There Is no
change and the rather cheerful outlook Tor
stockholders which current gossip furnished
them a few days ago still continues to
bound the horizon Of their hopes.
1t /; supposed the prompt movement Is
part of the manipuative process which
everything in the stock market IS subject
to, as 1t is not the nature of that institu-
ton that all things at all times should
have but one direction. AS gas stock mas
been going I'D. so those interested argue, 1t
must, professionally speaking, come down
again before any further progress Is Waue.
At the same time there are those VINO are

feeling of nervousness. that. after ALL the
program may be changed and the substi-
tute adopted will not be as favorao'e lor
the Stockholders as the one that seems now
to be generally accepted as what VIII De
done.
A change was made in the level of the
figures recorded in the case of the common
stock of the GraphophOne company. ana
as the same thing has recently been done
with the preferred stock of the company,
more attention is drawn to these stocks
than is usual In fact, they have not been
on the active list for long time past
that is. among the number of securities
that are frequently dealt In. Some inter
ested In this company have rather felt this
sort OF Obscurity was not deserved. and
that the securities really mertted differ
ent place in the operations of those who
dea In the things listed on thr local board
1t seems likely this desire for greater &C
tfvity Is liable to be gratified. for 1t IS said
1t Is the intention soon to increase the d.vi-
dend on the common stock from per cent
to Z, and when that Is done. according to
some who claim to know about the business
of the company. the only bar to increase
in the dividend on the preferred stock will
be removed.
At any rate. 46 was bid for the common
stock today and 80 was asked. while for
the preferred stock IS was bid and So was
asked. There was no change In the figures
for the latter as compared with the quota
tons of yesterday.
