The game between the Joplin
White Sox and Baxter last Sun
day at Ervin's park was a good
one, and Baxter was beaten in
the wind-up of an eleven-inning
contest. In the second inning
the Sox secured six runs on
account of Dowty's inability to
throw something they could moi
hit. In the second half of the
inning Baxter got two runs and
from that time on made gains,
but not until the ninth was Bax'
ter able to overcome the lead Of
the Sox, and then only succeeded
in tieing the score. In the tenth
inning both sides blanked, and in
the eleventh the Sox got a score,
while the locals failed.
Harlan went into the box at
the end of the second inning and
from that time on the game wa:
a pretty one. The score:
Joplin-O 6 0101-9
Baxter-O 2111OO 12OO-s

with the engine unless location
and nature of fire is designated.
Tuesday a long, hot run was
uade and the fire proved to be a
corn field burning. About three

it was a brush pile burning. LO-

iigssis one of the NOTICEABLE fea-
lures of the construction, and an
other distinctive feature is the
heighth of the mill from the
ground, which gives ample room
below the jig floor for the troughs
and slnices. 1t appears from the
size of the jigs that this mill
would handle 800 tons in ten
hours. With fair luck, the mill
should be in operation by Octo-
Der LIST.
Great activity is being shown
by the new owners at the NJ. 4.
& T. mill, where two large gangs
of men are busily engaged in
oyerhauliug the mill, and fixing
up the different parts of the
property, including the Ward
shaft, putting them into first
class condition to supply the mill
With its increased capacity,
WHICH we understand it to be
49,
500 tons in ten houEs. This
means to this camp at the least
calculation an additional tonnage
of 100 tons of concentrates per
week, while the big mill at the
Mission Mise, which, by the way,
vas started last Friday, and is
promised to be in operation in ~
days. will add more than as
much more, and possibly these
estimates may be doubled BY
running the properties double
shifts.

cAILD,s CONFIDENCE N DADDY
Wanted Papa to Emulate the Historic
Act Of Moses.

The Sunday school lesson that day
had been about Moses leading the
children of Israel through the wilder
ness to the Promised Land. and little
Bobby had been particularly impressed
by the incident Of the prophet strik-
ing the rock with his staff and causing
the water~to gush forth. After Sun
day school he took a walk with his
father, and could talk Of nothing else
Now, Bobby has an overwhelming
respect for his fathers prowess, which
was not even overshadowed by the re-
markable achievement Of Moses. He
was thoroughly imbued with the idea
that there wasn't thing in the world
his father couldn't do if that thing
were at all possible of accomplish
ment So when they came to a pile
Of large powders, with the Sunday
school lesson still uppermost in his
mind, he rather startled his father by
exclaiming

THE DISTRICT LEADER"
IS A MUSICAL COMEDY

In THE District Leader which comes
to Vinita, February 2, Joseph Howard,
writer Of The Umpire, The Land Of
Nod, THE Time The Place & The Girl
is said to have achieved his greatest
success thus far This appears to be a
somewhat strong assertion TO make, tax
ing into consideration the fact that all Of
Mr. Howards previous efforts have been
included in the tremendous hit class,
but competent critics who have seen
The District Leader" all agree that this,
the latest creation from the prolific brain
Of the popular song writer and composer
is the best thing he has done, To any
one familiar with Mr. Howard's work.
this should be all-sufiicient
THE District Leader" differs from the
great majority of so-called musical come
dies in that il has plot; not flimsy
disconnected story, put in to hold the
piece together, but strong melodramatc
sequence of events that alone would hold
the attention Of any audience. Add to
this the fact that the play is plentifully
intersprinkled with music presenting Mr.
Howard at his best, and some idea may
be had of the entertaining qualities OF
THE District Leader Miss Grace Sloan
and c. Milford Giffen head company
especially chosen for their ability to ade-
Quately portray the characters in pro-
duction said to resemble both The Van
derbuilt Cup and "45 Minutes from
Broadway"
Miss Sloan win be remembered for her
clever singing and dancing in The Land
Of Nod" and The Tenderfoot' and in the
part OF Flossie Whites in The District
Leader she has opportunities to please
along the same lines
The balance Of the cast support Miss
Sloan and Mr. Criffen in a manner which
is well calculated to bring forth all Of the
praise the production has merited this
season.
