The Hoisy Fourth.

noisy Fourth, was celebrated III
the good old way in Baxter
Springs. Anvils and other heavy
artillery were put in action about
midnight of the Bird and there
was little sleep for Baxterites the
balance of the night. Early, in
the morning of the Fourth Young
America began to get in his work.
and he managed to make plenty
of noise, too.
In the forenoon, at Springs
Park, Hon. Z. B. Morgan and
w. II. Cowley of Columbus deliv-
cred addresses to a good size
crowd. The talks were good. and
were thoroughly appreciated.
In the afternoon the different
contests were held on Military
street. and they were the cause
of much merriment.
In the evening there was nice
display of fireworks on Military
street, and the best of music was
rendered by the band.
Taken altogether, the doings
at Baxter were as much of a sue
cess as anywhere. But the sad
fact remains, just the same. that
the Fourth is not like it used to
be.
However, the doings at Baxter
Springs reminded one of the good
old days, and the crowds in the
afternoon and evening were simp-
" immense. In fact ii was a
crush.

char ge the doings are entitled to

I. P. Daniels received a tele.
gram on Wednesday afternoon OF
| last week announcing the death
of his brother, G. H. Daniels, at
Lake Placid, New York. Mr..
Daniels had been i'll a long time,
and although he made a valiant
struggle, yet it was in vain. He
was afflicted with a hardening OF
the arteries, and that coupled
with Indigestion, which prevented
him from taking any nourishment
was the cause of his death. Born
in Hampshire, Kane county, Ill,

| iels first entered the service as a
rodman on the North Missouri
railroad in 1853. From 1872 to
