OF wife beating At the morning ses-
sion of court Mrs. Laura + Brown
swore tnat her husband had choked and
dragged her down a flight of stairs

OUR SAVINGS PLAN

Mr.. Blanks income was 500 per
month, and his expenses SIS. He car
ried the ifference-S25-in his pocket
and il gradually disappeared. The end
Of each month found him penniless. He
decided to try our plan of depositing
his earnings in our Money Department
and paying his bills with checks. This
kept him in close touch with his affairs.
The first month he had a credit ball
anee Of $25. Now he has several hum
dred dollars ahead. The interest is ae-
eumulating, too. At the end Of this
year, he will have a considerable fund
available for permanent investment.
Upon reflection you will see that this
IS just the plan you should follow.

tant time, these matters should be considered and
remembered. In the months to follow, until the
State and national nominations and elections are
over every voter should have his eyes open and
his best judgment at work, and see to it that
only good men are nominated and elected.
Do not forget the lessons OF the past Do not
forget YOUR part in the future. Reform in the
administration of government the advantage Of
enlarged privileges and the blessings of higher
standard of living must come by individuals
working together for the same end and arrayed
shoulder to shoulder against selfish greed.
Attacks upon Mayor Wilson and guesses as TO
the future of the mayor or comments based upo
alleged reasons why the mayor is doing as COM
manded by City Council have nothing to do with
the question involved in the Water Department
inquiry. 1t makes no difference whether the de-
partment was discussed by Plain Citizen Town
send w Miller and others who were not plain citi-
zens. The one point to be remembered is simply
whether or not the department can be managed
more economically. If the desire is to convert
the department into a partisan machine when
such actual conversions begins will be the time
to consider that phase of the question.

Work TO Begin August 4.

Work on the Missions big new
1900 ton mill will probably begin
about August LIST. To give our
readers an idea of the magnitude
of such a plant we will state that
the mill will have capacity OF
1900 tons of dirt per day, so tons
per hour. or almost a ton a min
ute. The mill will prove to be the
largest ever built in the lead and
zinc district.
The Mission mine is one of the
best lead and zinc mines in the
world and is entitled to the best
mill. The ground is thoroughly
opened up and can fill the mill
easily. We do not know just how
many men will be required to mine
enough dirt to feed such an enor-
nous mill, but it will take lot
of them, and it is also going to
take a lot of men to take care Of
the mill and its output.

$1,000 In JeWeIry Lost.

A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs.
John Tonkin and Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Lucas of Joplin came over
to Blacks grove, just northwest
of this city and while there took
a boat ride. The boat in which
they were riding capsized with
them, and the entire party was
dumped into the river. A jewel
bag carried by Mrs. Tonkin was
lost. The bag contained precious
stones worth more than one
thousand dollars, and Mr.. Ton
kin is offering a reward of 500
for the return of the bag and con-
tents to the Office of the Baxter
Springs News. Up to this time
the bag has not been found, al
though dilligent search has been
made for it by scores of boys.

What promises to be the best
game of base ball ever played any
where on earth will be played at
Ervin's park in this city Friday
afternoon. 1t will be between the

wi ! be called promptly at 3
o'clock.
Admission to the grounds will
be 10 cents to everybody; no free
admissions. the free list being sus-
pended absolutely. Even the
players, umpires, physicians and
surgeons in charge will have to
dig up the necessary. Newspa-
per reporters, even, will have to
cough up a dime, 10 cents, a tenth
part of a dollar, If they want to
see the wonderful aggregation.
While the game will be called
promptly at at 3 o'clock it may
be necessary to finish by moon
light, but it will be worth wait
ing to see, and ten cents is no
money to see this greatest aggre-
cation of freak ball players.
. There will be plenty of arnica
and sticking plaster provided,

M. O. O. Railroad Coming.

From what we believe to be a
reliable source we learn that the
extension work of the Missouri.
Oklahoma, and Gulf Railroad will
begin at once and will be pushed
as fast as men and money can do
il. The northern end of the road
will be Pittsburg. Kansas, and
the southern end is in the south
ern part of the Indian Territory
part of Oklahoma.
The road is already built as far
as Wagner, Okla, and is opera
ting to that point. The gentle
man telling us about the matter
assured us the road will come very
fast. It now behooves the peo-
pie of Baxter to see that the road
comes through this place as 1t
builds northward. fit were pos
sible to get railroad within the
limits of the city it would be worth
going after. At any rate a COM
peting line would prove to be a
good thing. Let's get the M. o. G.

One price admits to the whole
show. You will perhaps never
have an opportunity to see this
wonderful aggregation of ball
players perform again. In fact
we are sure you will not. Such
things occur only once in life
time.
No grating will be allowed,
and no intoxicants will be allowed
on the grounds. Short change
artists will he barred. Tickets
will be sold only at the main wa
gon at the main entrance. Look
close and do not take any wooden
nickels when you get your change.
Perhaps it would be better to have
your change ready, so as to avoid
a chance of getting worsted.
AT any rate see this game.

A deal has been made whereby
the Baxter Planning Mill will be
known in future as the Baxter
Planning Mill and Fixture Co.
The capacity of the plant is large
enough to furnish steady employ
ment to at least Is men, and 1t is
the intention to do this very
thing.
II. J. Morrow has associated
himself with the enterprise, and
will have charge of the business
end of it. Mr.. Gaba will have
charge of the outside work and
will he the travelling representa-
tive of the institution.
Not less than thirty thousand
dollars worth of work is now be-
ing figured on, and requests for
estimates on work of all kinds
are OF a daily occurrence. Inc
mill will keep a draughtsman en-
ployed steadily, and his work will
be of a character to command at
tention and respect.
One of the main features of the
plant will be the manufacture OF
collapsible floor show cases, and
moth proof clothing cabinets.
The manufacture of wood pulleys
will also he carried on.
The Baxter Planning Mill and

Big Ball Game at Ervin's Park
Friday Afternoon.

and a competent corps Of physi-
clans and surgeons will be on
hand to render first aid to the ones
who need it.
T. J. Morrow and J. w. Watson
will umpire the game and of course
their decisions will 60 unques-

players, having played with the
celebrated Never Sweats" years

team. No expense has been spared
to get the best. The lineup to-

Wore G0inQ Some.

With several miles of nice new
concrete walks, dozens of nice new
canvas awnings, another railroad
building to the town, a manufac-
turing establishment which will
soon be employing at least Is men,
three or four new business houses
to be built this summer and sew
eral nice new residences, too, we
rather guess Baxter Springs is go
ing some. And it is going to do
some more, too. The town is on
the mend, even in the face of dull
times elsewhere. Of course, the
late lamented panic (and it is not
over yeti hurt some, but we do
not believe it hurt Baxter as much
as it did some other towns, but
the burg is recovering and is go
ing to come out all right.
Fact Of the matter is, Baxter
is the best town of its size in the
country. If you do not believe
it, Just get out and travel around
some, observe things while you
are away and you will return
better satisfied with your lot.
Try it.

The ball games Sunday result
ed in n victory for each side, Pros
perity taking the first one BY a
score of of 8 to 2, while Baxter
gathered in the second by a score
of Is to o, and II was only a seven
inning affair, too.
In the first game Dardenne
dished out the slants for the locals
but he had no support in the first
inning, and for that reason the
visitors made a lead which the To-
Gals could not overcome. After the
first inning, however, the locals
steadied down and played ball all
right.
In the second game, with all the
bases full, Reed, who pitched for
Baxter, hit a terrific three-bagger
and let in the whole bunch. Then,
on a wild throw to third, Reed,
himself, came skipping over the
home plate, making four runs off
of one hit. These four, together
with one which had been piled up
in the fore part of the inning,
made five for Baxter and it also
ratified the visitors until they
could not score. In the fifth in
ming the locals treated the visit
ors very badly and made eight
tallies. The scores:
