The wInnsbauo and His Beans.

Congressman ]. p. Latta Of Nebraska
demands that the Winnebago Indians
of his state be given back the privi-
lege Of chewing mescal beans which
the government ruthlessly deprived
them of some years ago.
The mescal bean grows down on the
Mexican border, and the Indian ex-
perts say that its narcotic quality
makes 1t as dangerous to the noble
red men as whisky, chbral, morphine
or any other drug.
The noble red men, however, indig-
nantly deny the allegation, and declare
that 1t is a part Of the Winnebago re-
ligion to chew those beans and thus
hold direct communication with the
Great Spirit.
Congressman Latta, occupying mid
die ground upon the question, argues
that they are not so bad, and that the
Winnebago Indians were just as well
behaved when they had the habit az
they are now. when paternal govern
ment forbids 1t.

CITY RUNS A PUBLIC BAKERY
Budapest to Have Plant Capable Of
Producing $4,000 Pounds Of
Bread Daily.

The city of Budapest in order tc
furnish good bread to the public at a
cheap price has decided to establish a
municipal bakery capable Of produc.
ing $4,000 pounds of bread daily.
This will be a public enterprise and
is meant by competition to compel the
general production Of bread equally
good and equally cheap-prices being
based upon the actual price Of wheat
and fiour-as that furnished by the
municipality.
This bakery will be a model one.
Modern machinery will be used and
all immediate contact by the workmen
with the bread will be avoided. Be-
sides this the burgomaster says, the
bakery by the wholesale purchase Of
flour and other articles Of production
will tend to reduce the price.
The expense of building this munic-
ipal bakery will be $125,0O0, not in
Guiding the value Of the site. The
rooms for preparing the dough, the
baking rooms and the bread maya
zines are all spacious and well lighted.
Near by are two groups Of buildings,
one containing the engine house, the
electrical plant and places for storing
and preparing potatoes, the Hun.
garian public being fond of bread
made Of wheat mixed with potatoes,
and the other consisting of stables
and coach houses.
The bread will be sold partly In spe-
cial shops belonging to the municipal.
ity and partly by private provision
merchants at price fixed by the
municipality.

LW Haneman Dead.

]. W. Hapeman, one of the best
old men in this country, died at
his home, three and a half miles
southwest of this city, on yester-
day morning, at the ripe old age
of eighty-three years and two
days.
Funeral services will be held
today Thursday at 2 o'clock p.
M, and interment will be made
in the Baxter cemetery.
Mr.. Hapeman had been a re-
markably strong and well man in
his life time, and he kept going
on with his work, until a few
days ago tired nature asserted
herself, and Mr.. Hapeman was
stricken with sickness. He was
iovial to the last. The attend"
ing physician asked him on Tues
day: ''Mr. Hapeman, how 40
you feel today?" His reply was;
'Oh, pretty good, but / am be-
ginning to feel my age" de
was eighty-three years OF age
the day before.
Mr.. Hapeman was a man well
thought of by all of his friends
and acquaintance, and the COM
munity has suffered a loss by his
death.
For years the old gentleman
had lived with his son, Frank
and they were boon companions.

The E1ks Killed Oft.

Galena has a ball team known
as the Elks. and it has not been
beaten. This, perhaps, is in the
wrong tense, and we should say
it had not been beaten up to a
certain time, That time was
last Sunday, and the kids of the
Baxter team changed the tense.
They went over onto the grazing
grounds Of the Elks and came
mighty near getting one each.
The score was 6 to 3 in favor OF
the Baxter kids, and they came
home with the big 'erd OF the
gate receipts as their trophy.
Harlan pitched for Baxter, and
Earl Abrams caught. Of course
such a battery is good one, but
the battery was backed up good
and strong. The Elks had some
Western Association players to
help them out, and they were
good batters too, but as soon as
Harlan would find it out the
next time they went to bat he
would give them a base on balls
and let 'em down without getting
a chance to swat the sphere. OF
course this made the heavy bat
ters sore, but it is all in the game
to do this, and they had to take
it.
Every member of the Baxter
bunch played a star game, and
it was the finest exhibition of
base ball ever played in Cherokee
county.
Only one error was charged up
against the Baxter team.

School Bell Begins rs
Work Monday.

On next Monday morning
school begins. So far as possi-
BILE every pupil should be there.
Early beginning oft times makes
the work easier for the instruct
ors and more congenial for the
scholar. Parents should see to
it that the pupils are ready for
the first days sessions.
The school board has shown
much care to select only capable
and efficient teachers. 1t may
be a bit of information to some,
but leading educators about here
consider the Baxter Springs
schools among the leading schools
in the county.
The building for the colored
children will be ready. The fin
ishing touches are being given it
this week. The interior looks
fine and has all of the modern
conveniences that a city of this
size can furnish. When all is done
it will hold thirty-four single
seats-all new-teacher's desk,
chair, stove, two well arranged
cloak rooms, water connection
with large basin properly stu
ated, and telephone in the build
ing. There is $50 feet of front
play ground, with privilege OF
using as much more if necessary.
This school building for the col
ored children is one of the neat
est, prettiest and best school
houses in the state. 1t has every
thing in Cherokee county skinned
by a mile.

The accidental killing of little
Dan Ryan should be another
warning to parents against let
ting children play with fire arms.
There is not much excuse in this
day and age for children to handle
guns. The country is civilized,
and game is very scarce. Of
course, it is American to learn
the use of fire arms, but the use
of them can not be too carefully
guarded. Every boy likes to
learn how to shoot, and this is
all right, but he should reach
more mature years before being
allowed to use guns,

By the way, the Joplin Globe

German Scientist Sees Great PossibIli-
ties In Experiments He Has
Been Conducting.

The human telephone is at once
the newest and the oldest form of tele-
phony. Some years ago 1t was shown
that 1t was possible to charge the hui
man body with tremendously high
alternating currents of electricity. And
1t is well known that the body has
been used as an electric battery for
many experiments.
1t is now suggested by one DR.. Die
Ter of Steglits that by charging the
body with these rapidly alternating
impulses the drum Of the ear can be
made to respond to their action and
vibrate so as to hear the current. The
ear would then become kind of tele-
phone disk and would be aware OF
changes in the intensity Of the cur
rent. 1t is necessary simply to press
against the ear the outer metallic
coating of a Leyden Jar whose inner
coating is connected with one pole of
an induction coil and to grasp the op-
posite pole with one hand.
Rieder thinks it is not impossible to
perfect this arrangement so that It
will transmit speech telephoniCally.
It is thought that deaf people might
be sensitive to the device. AS DR..
Rieder finds that there is a feeling Of
oppression in the ear for several
hours after such experiments, the au-
ditive organs must be acted upon In
quite a different way from that Of an
ordinary telephone.

Clarence Kerr, assistant chief
of police of Joplin, was at the
big reunion last Thursday night
and marveled at the good order
which prevailed. In speaking
with one of the officers of the
association he said: Il can't
understand how you manage to
have such good order. out here.
Why, here you have as many
people as we have in Joplin, per-
haps more. yet you do not have
one-tenth the trouble we have
with them. 1 simply can not
understand it." The secret is
right here. The people are in
vited to come here and have a
good time. They do not as a
rule violate the hospitality Of
their hosts. The police are not
hunting trouble, but are on hand
simply TO keep down trouble in
case any arises. 1t is not neces-
sary TO beat remover the head,
neither is it necessary to drive
them like cattle. Most men like
to be treated right, and when
they are they viii do fight.
