We understand that Brick Ma
son has left Baxter Springs; we
hope he has. Ever since Brick
Mason came to Baxter Springs
there has been trouble. When
he opened up his gin mill he paid
no attention to the sentiment of
the public, and from the evidence
adduced at the trial of his case
in justice court, he paid no atten-
ton to the law. He sold whiskey
and beer right and left, iudis-
criminately, and took money
from men whose families needed
it very badly. We have in mind
one man who spent all of his saw
ings in Bricks place, and now
the wife is taking in washing.
Brick Mason is what one would
call leech. Doing business in
Baxter Springs, he lived in Par
sons and it was to that town he
took his profits. Baxter Springs
does not need men of Brick
Mason's stripe. And Baxter
Springs does not need such places
of business as Brick Mason run.
Mr.. Andrew Jolly, we understand,
has bought Bricks business, and
we understand also that he viii
renovate it, and endeavor to run
the place according to the law
made and in such cases provided.

The curb line on Military
street has been changed from ten
feet to twelve. This was done
in order to have wider walks on
the main business street. A ten
foot walk is entirely too narrow
for a business street, and in view
of the fact that the town 10 I'm
proving in many ways 1t was
deemed best by the city authori-
ties to make the curb line wider.
A sample of the beauty and adj
vantage of this move may be
seen by the way the curb and
gutter and walk looks in front OF
the stores of John M. Cooper. No
right minded man will say the
property does not look at least
fifty per cent better. 1t is the in
tention Of the city officials to
cause new curb and gutter to be
put in from River street to Coun-
Gil street. When this is done
Baxter Springs will have one OF
the incest business streets in the
country.

DAYS OF
BUSY CATERPILLAR
RICH IN NEWARK
Lack of Appropriation for Trees
Gives His VOraciOus APP
petite Full Swing.

Caterpillars and mosquitoes are caus
ing great annoyance to Newarkers. and
despite appeals to the Shade Tree Com
mission and the Board of Health moth
ing has been done. Many valuable
shade trees are being destroyed by the
voracious caterpillar.
In former years the commission had
gangs of men with spraying machines,
but this season nothing has been done,
and on the Hill section, where the In
sects settle In greatest numbers, a meet
ing of residents will be called If steps
are not taken Immediately to eX-
terminate the destructive tree pest.
Residents in the vicinity of Baldwin
and West streets, where the caterpil-
lars nave co~ngregated in large num-
bers, can be seen burning paper each
night to smoke the crawlers who droI
from the trees, and, spider-like, remain
suspended in the air.
In explaining the neglect of his de-
partment, Charles G.. Ellsworth, presi-
dent of the Shade Tree Commission
told an EVENING STAR reporter that
1t was due to the small appropriation
in the annual tax levy of the city.
1--WE have been compelled to stop al
spraying for the year." said he, land
unless the citizens come to our aid we
will have TO let the caterpillars con-
tinue their work of destruction"
The head of the commission said that
the appropriation was SO small that the
commission had to reduce It's working
force, stop trimming and planting, and
can barely take care Of the several
parks in the city.

fort to reduce the population of the

to all who bring them to Military Park.
The mosquito Is especially distressing
to children and mothers with infants in
their arms. who seek relief from the
heat by going to the local parks. APP
peals have been made to the Board of
Health, but nothing a been done.
According to information given by
DR.. John 3. Smith. State entomologist,
whose headquarters are at New Bruns-
wick. something like $50, 900, 000, 900 Of
the pests were killed in the past four
years at q cost of $3OO,O 900. DR.. Smith
has received a number of reports from
this city, Elizabeth, Jersey City and
elsewhere this season that the "skeet-
ers'' are as bad as ever. He set his in
spectors to work and found hat the
trenches and drains in the various
meadows have been neglected by the
city authorities, weeds permitted to
grow and mosquitoes to breed. He con-
tends that the State Is not expected to
keep the trenches and drains in shape,
but that such work is expected of local
boards of health.

ASBURY PARK, June ga oues-
ton has been raised by Mitchell &
Fry, lessees of the bathing privileges
on the Asbury Park beach front, as to
whether the public has the right to
battle off the Asbury Park beach with
out purchasing such rights from them.
While the once common practise of
CLING down to the beach for an ocean
bath is not now much practised it is
occasionally done.
William z. Pittenger. George Pit
tenger and Joseph s. Pike, stopping at
the Hotel Estelle, on Wesley Lake.
donned bathing suits and ode down
to the beach. Before going in the
ocean they laid ~overcoats upon the
sand. While bathing somebody re-
moved the coats, and they accuse
Walter Benner, an employee of Mr..
Fry, with stealing them, and have had
him arrested on such a charge.
Mitchell & Fry refused to give the
coats up until the price of three baths
had been paid.

The members of the Grand Jury have
decided hat there is no occasion for an
investigation of the allegations of graft
made against Mayor Haussling by a
New York newspaper some weeks ago.
They claim that there is nothing before
them that gives an excuse for such an
investigation. 1t is probable, however,
that the county inruisitors will refer to
the matter in O presentment and that
they will suggest that h city's chief
