The Big Reunion.

A few days ago we noticed in
the Joplin papers that some old
soldiers, nice old fellows, too,
held a basket picnic at Lakeside
park, and among other things
they done at the picnic, passed a
resolution to hold the reunion
somewhere elSe than Baxter
Springs. This is really too bad.
but if the old fellows who attend
ed the picnic at Lakeside park
want to hold a reunion some
where else than at Baxter
Springs 1t is their privilege to do
so, and we hope and trust they
will have a good time,
But the Big Baxter Reunion,
the daddy Of all the reunions
held in this county, will continue
to be held at Camp Logan, Bax-
ter Springs, and the old fellows
who want to hold a reunion
somewhere else will be welcome
to attend the Big Baxter Reunion,
just the same. The usual quota
of free tents will be furnished
them, and there viii be amuse-
ment in great plenty for them.
There will be speakers of nation
al reputation to talk to them,
good music to entertain them,
and everything calculated to
please.
Yes, Miranda. the real big re-
union will continue to be held at
Baxter Springs, and the next
years reunion will be bigger
than any held. Mark the pre-
'dictiOu.

EMMETT HARPER MET
HIS DEATH
FUNERAL TUESDAY

The funeral of Emmett L. Harper,
who was drowned at Meyers Lake
Saturday afternoon, will be held from
the Martin Luther church, North
Cherry street, Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Rev. G. NJ. Schmucker will
officiate.
As a sequel to the sad accident in
which Mr. Harper met his death, Man
ager II. B. Ritz, of Meyers Lake Park,
will order the owner of the canoe,
Attorney Robert Meyer, to remove the
boat from the lake.
IT consider it a dangerous boat, as
it has capsized several times before
Saturday when experienced canoeists
were on board, so / will order 1t tax
en- off the lake" said Manager Ritz.
The body of Mr.. Harper was found
an hour and fifteen minutes after the
accident happened.
The body was found by Edward Snys-
der, who is employed at the lake to
look after bathers. The father OF the
boy was present when the body was
brought to the surface and was over
come with emotions as he gazed upon
the lifeless form of his son, who just
a few minutes previously had LETT
home on pleasure bent.
The unfortunate accident happened
in plain sight of a number Cf per-
sons and while everything was done
to rescue Harper all efforts proved
futile.
Howard Kahler, Karper's compan-
ion on the ill-fated ride, managed, by
swimming, to reach a nearby canoe and
thus saved himself
Harper was steering the canoe and
was sitting in the rear, while kahler
was Faddling and was in the middle OF
taS canoe They had gone but sew
eral hundred yards from the shore
when the canoe capsiZed.
Harper came to the surface near
rescuers who had gone to the assist
ancc of the boys but his strength
failed him and he sank before he
could be saved.
Mr.. Meyer, the owner of the boat,
stated that he considered the canoe
perfectly safe and that he haj used
it in all kinds of wind and weather.
Harry Geltz of this city, who owned
the canoe prior to Mr.. Meyer, stated
that he had used it for a number of
years and that he had considered il
an easily managed boat.
Frank Chmel, who was an occupant
of the canoe when it capsized at Mey-
ers Lake last summer, stated that the
day when he had the accident the
lake was exceptionally rough and that
it was due 10 his lack of knowledge
of a canoe that it had happened.
Young Harper was employed at the
Morning News in the circulation de-
partment and was bright young man.
well liked by all who knew him.

Since the annulling of the steps

suing bonds to the amount of $10S,0OO
for the building of a new city hail,
constructing three subways at rail-
road crossing, repaving Main street
and opening West Broadway, no fur
ther legislation upon the subject has
been passed by the city council. The
former action was rendered owing to
an irregularity in the original reso-
luton which did not provide for a
separate vote upon the three proposed
subways. Should the election be held,
the delay occasioned will make it very
late in getting the work done proVid-
ed the vote should decide in favor
Of the improvements. Great interest
was shown when the proposition was
introduced but now little is heard
among the citizens upon the subject
There will be no regular meeting OF
