WELCOME.

In behalf of the entire citizen
ship of Baxter Springs, We ex-
tend to you a cordial welcome.
We are delighted to see so many
of you with us again. Now, we
want you to pitch in and have a
jolly good time. Remember, you
are the backbone of these meet
ings. They are gotten up for
your benefit. Don't feel under
any restraint, save that which is
suggested by your own sense OF
propriety and .decency! Renew
old acquaintance and form new
ones. Disseminate war history
among the old comrades, and if
this good and sound war history
needs any improvements behind
the facts, don't hesitate to add a
few touches by way of embellish-
ment and ornamentation, for you
are not on your oath, you know.
Some of the old boys who were
with us last year will not be
with us this year. They have
been mustered out. AS the years
come and go they carry the COM
rades from us. Wider and wider
become the vacant spaces in their
ranks. But let us believe that
when the things of this life turn
as it were to fitful shadows the
purpling dawn of a New Day
meets their fading gaze and that
they hail the new with JOY and
rclinquish the old without re-
greet.
Again we say, enjoy your
selves! The amusement field OF
the Baxter Springs Reunion is
spead before you like feast for
the gods. Hop to it!

breaking Records at tho "

The 3F mine which has been
working for some time on a big
face of ore, is now breaking all
records in the way of production.
Several months ago this mine
made a big record on production,
but the work the last few days
is making all the mining men in
the country sit up and take
notice. The present manage
ment is stripping the ground and
is making 20 thousand-pound
cars of clean ore every shift.
The ore is continuous from 20 to
60 feet, and is very rich. The
quality of the ore is improving
right along, and the dirt is very
rich.
We understand an arrange
ment is being made whereby the
ore from the Little Four mine to
the east of the 81 is to be milled
on the 81 mill, but we do not
believe the plan will prove
feasible for the ore at the 3F is
so rich and so plentiful that II
seems to us the mill will have
all it can do to take care of the
ore from its own mine.
The 3F is a daisy, and is
making its owners money.

WYATT Has a Fire.

VIM. w. Wyatt, assistant
cashier of The Baxter National
Bank, put some water on the
cook stove at his house last
Tuesday evening, intending to
take a bath later on in the even
ing. He fixed up the fire and
then he and his wife went over
to Bert Shields to visit a while.
Result, the house caught fire
and but for the prompt assist
ance of the neighbors and the
ire department Willie would
not now have a happy home.
AS it is, the house can be put in
good condition for four or five
hundred dollars, and Wyatt's
loss to household goods will
perhaps foot up as much. The
house belonged to E. K. Brown
and was insured, as was also the
household goods.
The fire gang worked nicely,
and the chemical engine did all
that was ever claimed for it.
Although the fire was burning
the house from top to bottom,
when the chemicals were turned
on it was only a few moments
until the fire was extinguised.

new FROM
The MINES.

Chicago uapaw is pushing
the erection of its new mill on
the Stafford land.
The Wichita has installed a
new boiler and is now develop
ing its lease south of the Mason
mine.
NJ. Bragg and associates have
taken lease on the Joanna mine
and will start work on this
property next week.
Pumping at the Mason mine
was resumed this week and the
management expects to be into
the ground this week.
The activity of the camp is
very marked, as most every
property is in operation or
preparations are being made to
StdIt dt ONSC.
Development at the Lancaster
mine is being pushed and the
mill is running steadily, turning
in its usual amount of ore each
week.
The Good Luck will have its
mine in operation by September
18th. All the machinery is
being placed and the finishing
touches are being put on.
One of the big mines of the
camp is being pushed along in
good shape by Ben Brooks, who
has put the Old Abe mine into
commission again, with most
satisfactory results.
The 81 mine is again striking
its old gait on production, with
it's small mill it is turning out
ten tons of concentrates per day
and the ore in sight, we under.
stand, will keep the mill going
for many months ahead.
E. F. Sweeney & Sons art
doing remarkably well with
their mill west of the Old Abe.
The ore has proven to he richer
than the drillings indicated,
especially to the north and east.
The Eastman Investment Co.
is running its mill steadily from
ore taken from shafts No. l and
No. 2. The underground de-
velopment is being pushed at
both shafts so that the mill can
be put on double shifts as soon
as possible.
SunburSt shaft No. 2 is down
this week on account Of repairs
being made on its boiler. The
big steam plant at shaft No. 5
has been put into commission to
supply power for the sinking OF
shaft No. 4, where a steam holster
has been installed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. p. jenkins,
of Denison, Texas, stockholders
in the Sunburst Mining Com
pany, were inspecting the COM
.pany's operations this week
and expressed themselves as well
pleased with the progress being
made in developing the property.
An extraordinarily rich strike
has been made in the Hawkeye
mine this week. While this
property has been making a
steady production right along,
the zinc ore struck this week has
been extra good, showing over
the entire face of the southwest
and western drifts.
Everything at the Mission
mine is being put into condition
preparatory to starting the new
mill. The underground work is
also being done with this view
in mind, so that when the new
installation is completed every
thing will be in condition to
keep il running at full capacity |
from the start.
Three new mills will go into

DEATH IN MILK.
DR.. Crumbine Talks of Danger of
Tubercular Infection

DR.. s.. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
Kansas state board of health, read a
paper before the Shawnee County Med
fcal society last night on the subject
OF tuberculosis. as Affecting Our
Milk Supply"
Kansas has a death roll from tuber-
culosis Cor consumption of nearly /, 500
every year. This annual tribute of our
fair state to the Great White Plague -
he says, "is something appalling. par
ticularly when we remember that this
is largely if not entirely a preventable
disease A large part of these deaths
can be traced back to tuberculosis in
some animal food product The loca-
ton of the disease in the body is inde-
pendent Of the point at which the in
fectious material enters, and the fire.
quency which tuberculosis occurs as
lung disease does not justify the
conclusion that the lung is infected
through the air, but that the fine blood
vessels of the lung act as the first filter
for the blood. as it returns from the in
testine with the germs Of this dis
ease which it has absorbed from the
food.
Twelve per cent of the dairy cows of
Kansas" he said, "are tubercular and
the germs Of this disease are present
in the milk, butter and other products
of these animals, capable Of producing
the disease in man for a month or
more after leaving their original
source"
After discussing this paper the Shaw

DEMOCRATS ARE READY.
Will Put City Ticket in Field Friday
Evening.

The Democratic municipal ticket
will be placed in the field on Friday
evening at party zcaucuseS held in
each OF the six wards of the city.
This much was decided at a meet
ing of the city central committee OF
the party held last night at the
Throop hotel.
Incidentally the committee re-or-
ganized for the year with new off,
GERS. w. H. Kempeis chairman, gave
way to j. H Ulsh, while w. F. Logan
was elected secretary following the in
cum bency of M. w. Saxon.
The caucuses will be held at 7:30 at
the following designated places: First
ward. No. fire station; Second ward.

Third ward, 927 Kansas avenue,
Fourth ward, Throop hotel; Fifth

things there is going to be warm
fight at the caucus meeting in the
Second ward to secure the coveted
nomination of councilman. Peter
Miller, who has been talked of in
connection with the office is not going
to win hands down Charles M.
Brown and John Hammer have been
named as possible rivals of Miller and
their names were mentioned with con-
siderable frequency last evening.
Louis Fraser, the groceryman, from
the looks of things is going to be
matched to run against E. Montgom-
cry, or whoever is the Republican,
nominee for councilman from the
Fourth ward. again. Two years ago
Fraser ran like a scared deer and was
only beaten out by a handful or two
of votes. For day or two there was
some talk of F'raser's contesting the
election returns because of the ex-
ceeding narrow margin by which
Montgomery was seated. Fraser,
however was willing to accept the de-
feat and stated at the time that he
would try again. The Democratic
fight will concentrate largely in the
Second and Fourth wards.
