To the Men of Baxter.

You are respectfully requested
to attend the next regular meet
ing of the Baxter Springs Com
mercial Club, to be held in the
law Office of ]. ]. Bulger, March
2, 1910, at 8 p. m.
Let us look after the interests
of Baxter, and in so doing adj
vance our own. If there be any
so narrow minded and selfish
hearted as to be unwilling to put
their shoulders to the wheel of
progress, let us push the wagon
over them and we may be assured
they will not have the energy to
object. Let us cease to complain
of the 1ethargy of things in our
town, and in so doing refrain
from injuring ourselves.
It has been demonstrated that
there is no better method for a
town to adopt than the CONNER
cial Club way of getting at
things. One man cannot make a
town-or do much else for that
matter. The united efforts of a
collection of individuals are re-
Quired to accomplish anything
worth while. Let us get to-
gether for our mutual interests,
and we can make Baxter a better
place streets will be paved,
lawns kept clean, factories built
merchants will be supplied with
trade, property will advance ir
value and there will be no more
trouble about taxes.
The Brotherhood is a success
It has done much good in Baxter
but Brotherhood has its propel
sphere and a Commercial Clul
another. Both should work to
gether for Baxter.
Come to the Commercial Clul
meeting this "wednesday night
The Baxter Commercial Club.
ByJ. ]. BULGER,
Secretary.

Several shafts have been sunk
in the Galena camp in an endea-
vor to find deeper ore, and in
almost every instance the effort
has been successful. The mining
of lead and zinc ores in the en-
tire district is yet in its infancy.
There will be lead and zinc ores
produced in this section until the
end of time.

M. C. Harper, who is looking
after the financing of our pro-
posed electric line, tells us he is
meeting with great encourage
ment from outside people, and
he hopes the people of this city
will show the proper amount OF
interest in the enterprise. If
the people Of Baxter Springs can
be brought to a realization of
the importance of this road they
will get up into the collar in a
hurry, but if they will not mani
fest such a disposition it will no
doubt be necessary to build the
road with outside money, if this
is possible. Better, perhaps, to
do this than to not have the road,
but wouldn't it be much better
if the control of this matter
could be kept right here at nome?
Then extensions could be made
as the home people would want
them. If outside control of the
road is had then outside control
will say whether the road can be
made to benefit Baxter Springs
most, or whether it should be
made of vast benefit to some
other place. Think of this, good
people, and if you will give it
your best thought we are salts
fed you will agree with us that
home control of the situation
would be the proper thing.

A great many property ownerI

A great many property owners
in Baxter Springs are consider
ably exercised over the fact that
large amounts of back taxes have
been found against some property
in this city. In several instances
the sums are so large that they
mean confscation of the proper.
ty. It seems that away back Ia
the sixties people were very care.
less about the payment of taxes.
and when the panic struck the
country they just failed to put
up. Later on, when things got
back into normal condition, they
resumed payment of taxes, but
did not pay up arrearages, and
the result is that the old taxes,
together with penalties which
have accrued, have just eaten up
the property. Many are now
paying up, but in some isolated
instances, especially where. the
improvements are not good, the
taxes will not be paid. It Is
very hard on some people.

MOVING DAY WILL BE COSTLY.
Chicago Will Pay High for Privilege of
Yearly Change of Residence.

Chicago, April Chicago's great
annual hegira, when 35,0 families
pull up stakes and migrate to some
other flat, will be costly process this
year.
Landlords and moving van compan-
les have so arranged leases that people
can move only on May /. This year
the date falls on Sunday and as all
moving van people are members of
union labor, this means a double price
for everything.
This means that every one of 95, 600
families, who will move on that day,
will be forced to pay Sc an hour FOR
the services of a van. In addition
there will be double price for helpers.
The moving feveri peculiar to Chi
cago, is a sort Of tragic Joke. People
move from one fiat to another not
whit better, pay an averSge of $40 for
moving, liys'of the mantels. and ;sleep
in the bath tubs for week, see their
household goods wrecked and probably
find' themselves in worse community
than that which they left. Yet they
move every year.

THREE MASKED MEN ROB
CALIFORNIA TRAIN

Benicia, CAL, April 1s.-After loot
ing the mail and baggage cars of over
land train No. /, between this place
and Goodyear, at 1890 o'clock this
morning, three masked men, who es-
capped on the engine of the train to
Suisun bay are being pursued by a
sheriff's posse, through bayous in a
steam launch.
The robbers had planned the hold-up
carefully and had boat secreted in
the marshes when they abandoned the
engine at Cygnus.
The train was stopped by a lantern
signal as it slowed down on the ap-
proach to Goodyear. AS the engine
came to a stop, two men leaped
aboard, one from each side, and cover
ed the engineer with revolvers. An
instant later the third appeared and
covered the fireman.
One of the men stood guard over the
engineer and fireman while the other
two entered the express car.
No estimate of the amount taken

robbery netted several hundred dol
lars. There were ten coaches in the
train, and the robbers locked each one
as they passed through, leaving the
passengers captive while they rihed
the other cars.
After completing the work they re-
turned to the engine, where their COM
panion still stood guard over the train
men, and ordered the engineer to un-
couple the engine. He was then or
dered, with the fireman, to "beat it, "
and as the men ran back toward the
rear of the train, one of the robbers
pulled the throttle wide open and the
engine shot at top speed through Good
year.
A posse was quickly organized at
Goodyear and Benecia and short time
later the abandoned engine was found
few miles farther ahead at Suisun
bay. A rancher living nearby had
seen three men and it was learned
short time later that the men had es-
capped in a launch.

DEEPEN SHAFT AT RED BOY
Permanent Development in Sumpter
District this Summer,

Sumpter-Within the next few weeks
one of the most important events in the
history of the famous old Red Boy mine
west of Sumpter, will be in progress
deep sinking on the Red Boy and
Golden Monarch veins. Not only is
this work of great moment to the mine
but it viii be anxiously watched by
every one in the district, for its success
will prove beyond any question the per
manency of ore deposits below the
water level.
Two years ago prospect shaft was
sunk on the Golden Monarch vein. The
result of this work has determined the
company to continue sinking on the
vein, but instead of a prospect shaft
the work will be of permanent char
acter, being a three-compartmen shaft,
The shaft will follow an ore shoot
which is said to have produced over
100000 for the former owners from
the Blacksmith level to the surface, the
ore body varying from s to Is feet in
width for continuous length of 800
feet, all milling grade. How deep the
shaft is to be driven will be determined
later, being governed to some extent
by what is disclosed by the sinking,
though it is expected to go at least $50
feet if not 500 feet.

Hard Wind Hits Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, April 16.-The
heavy storm, with an average of FIVE
inches of rainfall that swept through
Mississippi and Arkansas last night,
was followed tonight by a tempest that
broke over the states with added fury
Rain fell in torrents, accompanied in
many places by hail Accompanying
this second storm was a wind which at
times took on proportions of tornado.
Reports from Como, Marigold and
Johnstown, Miss, indicate that many
small houses were leveled, and at the
latter place negro woman was killed.

Changshu, China, April l9.-All Of
the foreign-owned buildings in Chang
shu have been destroyed by fire, except
the British consulate. All the build
ings rented by foreigners have been
looted.
All foreigners have left the city.
So far as known, no foreign resident
lost his life.
The governor of Human province.
WI Tchung Stu, and his son, were
killed, and several other government
officials fled. Even yet a section of
the city is in flames. Six thousand
foreign drilled soldiers are stationed
here and few of these protected the
governors house for time, but soon
all joined the rioters.
The riots began April 13, when the
famine sufferer looted the rice de-
pots. A captain of police was wound
ed trying to restore order. Thous-
ands crowded around him and his as
sistants, and he was obliged to flee to
the yamen. The rioters followed and
besieged the place all night.
Inc AOllOWlHB udy Jne disturbance
became anti-foreign. The Chinese In
land mission and the Norwegian and
Catholic missions were burned. The
other missions were destroyed April
Is. The missionaries attached to the
American Episcopal Missionary al
lance, the United Evangelical church
and the Wesleyan and Yale scientists,
numbering Al in all, took refuge in
boats. They left all their effects.
The destruction of all foreign prop
erty, including the Japanese consulate
and the British warehouses, followed.
The fate of the Standard Oil company's
newly-erected tanks is unknown.
The rioters numbered no fewer than
"a, 900.
Eight Germans attached to the Lieb-
enzoll mission were in town when the
trouble began, and they fled the city to
Hankow in a junk without lights.
They were run down by the British
gunboat Thistle and drowned. Another
report says that the men drowned were
Americans, but there is no confrma-
tion of this.

WARSHIPS WARN JAPAN.
British journal Sees Hidden Mean
ing in Voyage of Squadron.


ing in Voyage of Squadron.
London, April While one sec
tion of European opinion urges Mr.
Roosevelt to discuss with William anc
Edward an international understanding
for the limitation of ornaments, an
other cynically suggests that, if they
will bring the matter up for his con-
sideration, more may be accomplished
The implication is, as one prominent
journal sees the situation, that Mr.
Roosevelt has done as much as either
of the monarchs to stimulate the ap-
petite for fleets.
Interest in this matter is heightened
by Washington dispatches today that
foreshadow another around-the- world
cruise by American battleships, these
vessels heading east from Hampton
Roads instead of south.
eff the cruise is taken" comments
one weekend observer, "any tyro will
be able to see the connection between
it and the readjustments of the Wash
ington-Tokio treaty and that famous
final clause of article II.
"There is going to be tension be-
tween the United States and Japan
when the latter presses for the privil-
eges of naturalization and suffrage,
not to mention easier immigration
conditions, and Uncle Sam recalls the
pacifying influence of his war dogs
two years ago."
Hope is expressed that at the New
York dinner to Lord Kitchener, who
is thought to have "made hit with
the Americans by telling the Austral-
ians to found a military school like
West Point" the guest will emphasize
the value of a "lasting entente be-
tween our fleet and theirs"
