All Want Them.

The News predicted some time
ago that when work was begun
on the sidewalks that people
would become impatient and want
more walks, and that prediction
is being verified every day. The
faster the walks are laid the more
intense becomes the interest. Par
ties not affected by the sidewalk
order are asking for walks, and
they will get them in due time.
We believe the disposition of the
council is to grant every petition
for walks which is presented. But
lit takes time to go through the
regular red tape routine necessary
to get the walks, so they must be
patient.
Really, now, Mr.. Citizen aren't
you glad the sidewalk campaign
has been opened in Baxter
Springs? Of course you are.

Commits Suicide.

Mr.. J. B. Thomas, cashier of
the Bank of Albany, Albany, Mo-,
committed suicide at the Midland
hotel in Kansas City last week.
Mr.. Thomas was quite well
known in this city, being inter
ested in the Baxter Springs min
ing camp as a member of the firm
of McRuer, Kent & Thomas, own
ers of the famous M. K. ct.
mine and mill. Mr.. Thomas was
a fine man in every way, and
there is no apparent reason for
his rash act. His bank affairs
were in excellent shape.

Clearing Up.

The business and financial sit
uation is clearing up. True, the
events of the past five or six weeks
have made some people nervous,
but il is to their credit that they
have kept their heads, and ad-
vised others to do the same thing.
Since the gamblers of Wall street
Sounds like old time Populist
talk, doesn't IT'D have found out
they can not gut the West OF its
money, they have loosened up,
and in very short time business
will resume its normal condition.
1t is a good thing that people
were not allowed to rush to the
banks and draw out their money
as soon as they wanted it. II
that had been allowed it would
not have been very long until all
available money in the West
would have hidden out. The old
sock would have been filled, the
mattress would have bulged up
ward because of what was hid
den underneath, and the parlor
carpet would have been ripped up
in a few places to make hiding
spots for money which legiti-
mately belongs in circulation.
Then there would have been hard
times for sure.
Truth of the matter is, the
West said to the East: Mike;
not on your life; we have some
money and we will just keep it
at home; we will not again be
caught in your net, and compelled
TO pay tribute to you; we remem-
Der the times when money was
badly needed in the West to har-
vest crops and send them to mar
ket; we also remember that if we
got it we had to pay ruinous rates
for it; if you need money it will
do you good to need it."
These grand United States are
all right.
