The Election.

Election passed rather quietly
in this city, as the weather set in
bad early in the day and it was
not until after dinner that it
cleared off sufficiently for the
timid voter to feel like getting to
the polls.
In the first ward F. M. Perkins
was elected to the council, beat
ing Nichols by 80 votes. Ed. Pol
ster defeated DR.. Wear by 4 votes
for member board of education.
In the second ward Youse de-
feated Gaba for councilman by 46
votes, and Smith was defeated by
Congdon for member of the board
of education by Sc votes.
Down in the third ward the
vote was very close, Barnes win
ming for councilman over Arm
strong by the narrow margin of 2
while Johnson only beat Black
burn 4 for member of the board
of education.

Tho Regular Dividend.

The semi-annual meeting of
the directors of the Baxter Ma
tional Bank was held on Tuesday
evening of this week, and among
the other matters of business
transacted was the making of the
usual semi-annual dividend Of
four per cent. After the declar-
ing of the dividend there was
carried over into the surplus fund
the sum of 81, 384.19.
The directors highly compli-
mented the officers of the bank,
and the prospect for an increased
business is flattering indeed.

Cortland High, the young
night agent who was shot at the
Frisco station in this city on the
night of March 10Th, when three
men robbed the money drawer
after shooting him, has recog-
nized two of the men who are in
Jail at Columbus as being the
fellows who did the work. High
is not sure as to the third man,
as he was masked, but he feels
very sure the fellow is guilty,
and he may be able to make iden-
LITIGATION when he gets to feeling
better and is able to recover his
scattered wits. High was brought
from the Springfield hospital to
identify the fellows, and after
going through the ordeal he was
taken back to the hospital.
The three men, Green, WILL
Jams and Anderson, are in Jail
at. Columbus under bond of SIS, 900
each. AS they could not give
bail they stand committed. They

The statements of the Baxter
Springs banks appear in these
columns this week. A comparison
with former statements shows
that the banks are enjoying an
increased business, and all this
goes to show that Baxter is a
much better town in a business
way than it ever was before.

The News man was down in
Oklahoma looking after some
business matters all last week.
At Okmulgee he met Arthur
Carney, an old Baxter boy. Ar
thur is in the drug business
there, and is making good. He
has the incest drug store in the
city, and has a fine business. At
Tulsa we met Earl Dent. He is

of about $4,000 people, modern
in every way, and is built up
of three, four and five-story build.

msstly with asphalt, yet some
brick is being used. Tulsa is a
city of fine homes and well kept
lawns, and is headquarters for
all the oil men in that section Of
Oklahoma, although most Of the
oil production is not close to
Tulsa, being mostly at Sapulpa,
Keifer, Bartlesville, Glen Pool
and Hamilton. At Sapulpa we
ran across John Wilson, who
used to be Frisco agent here. He
is in the furniture business there
with his brother, and they are
doing a nice business. Down in
that country one has to watch
his corners, or he will be run
over by people who are in the
mad rush for the almighty dol
lar. They speak of production,
fat sand, wild eating, the price
of oil, etc., much as the average
man up in this country speaks OF
fat hogs, corn, wheat, etc. Just
at present the price of oil is go
ing upward, and the boom in that
country is increasing correspond
ingly. The Baxter Planiug Mill
and Fixture Company is doing
lots of work down there. At Ok
mulgee the mill is furnishing all
the sash, doors, finish and frames
for a big high school building,
and at Sapulpa lot of finish for
some large business houses and
Office buildings. At Tulsa 1t is
furnishing the woodwork for q

coMEDlENNE is AN ELK

Alice Lloyd, the charming little Eng
fish coincidence who is heralded as
the chief attraction at the Orpheum
during the coming week, has the dis
tinction of being the only feminine
member of the order of Elks. Miss
Lloyd is a member of New York lodge
No. 1, and a letter from an officer of
that particular branch of the best
people on earth" says that she is one
of the lodges proudest possessions.
Although this is Miss Lloyd's first
tour of the west she has been a IA
vorite in New York since her first ap-
pearance there three years ago. At
that time her American enga cement
was short and her managers were
bent on making the most they could
with her in the short time at their dis
posal. So much so that when the Elks
had on big entertainment for char
itys sake they declined to permit
Miss Lloyd to volunteer her services.
Miss Lloyd volunteered anyhow,
whether her managers liked it or not,
and as she was then the biggest at
traction in the metropolis she made
all kinds of good for sweet charity's
sake. AS an evidence of their appre-
citation of her act, which might have
Cancelled her contract, the New York
Elks proposed her for membership,
and so today she belongs to No. 1.

THE AMERICAN LORD

~ HARLES B. HANFORD, support
4, ed by his charming wife, Miss
" Marie Drofnah, and a strong
company, will fill an engagement at
the Majestic theater this week in the
second modern play in which Mr.. Han
ford has appeared within the past two
decades. A Shakespearean actor of
wide celebrity and fiattering success,
Mr.. Hanford's desertion of the classical
drama, even though 1t be only tenn
porary, is a matter of some impor-
lance. Last year at the Majestic he
gave Los Angeles theatergoers their
choice of five Shakespearean plays.
This year he will appear only as 1.-THE
American Lord" a whimsical person
age created by George H. Broadhurst,
now a resident of Los Angeles, and
Charles T. Darcy, author of I'm Old
Kentucky"
1.-THE American Lord" is a modern
comedy, it's scenes laid in North Da-
kota and in England. Mr.. Hanford
plays the title role-a Dakotan who,
through an unexpected mortality in
his family, becomes a British peer just
at time when he had been nominated
for congress. The stage story Is vast
ly amusing, and Mr.. Hanford Is cred
tied with having scored a "hit" in it's
central character. The play will run
through the week at the Majestic, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

we moved In, and almost everyone will re-

STATED Miss Aliens prolonged absence Miss
O'Brien took her place, and since Miss
Edith Tobltt became librarian Miss O'Brien
has acted In her place during trips abroad
and on other occasions when her absence
was enforced. In September, 1898, Miss
O'Brien assumed charge OF the reading
room, the medical library and the collec-
ton Of government publications, which po-
sition she still holds.
Miss o'Brien is a daughter OF the late
General and Mrs. George Morgan O'Brien,
who were among omaha's early residents.
She has been identified with library work
and library extension in Nebraska for many
years. and has the distinction OF having
given the first paper before the first an
nual meeting OF the Nebraska Library as
ISOLATION, which was held at Lincoln In
December, 1895. Her subject was THE Re
lation of the Public Library to the Public
School, For seven years she served az

Work for missionaries.

Altogether, through the efforts OF the So
ciety, translations of the Bible have been
made into some $50 languages and dialects.
These TRANSACTIONS are generally made by
missionaries, who in the countries where
there is no written tongue find themselves
confronted by a work that oftentimes takes
anywhere from two to five years and is
attended by very great difficulties. AS
soon as a missionary has formulated a
written language from the spoken sounds
and has taught some of the natives to read
and write, he wants to translate the Bible
and requests the Bible society to print the
translation and send him the books for dis
tribution.
At the present time the Bible society
is printing the Bible in three of the Ian
guages of Africa which have never been
used for writing. 1t is also printing Bibles
in five of the languages of the Philippines
and slowly completing the printed list Of
thirty languages used in the various Islands
of the South Pacific.
y great many OF the books intended for
distribution in the far east are printed in
places other than New York. For exam
pie, there is a fine printing establishment
at Yokohama, under the auspices of the
Bible society, which employs Japanese
workmen under contract. From this place
distribution is made to the Philippines and
to Korea. The society also prints in
Shanghai and Chen Tu and at Bangkok
in Slam, and at Beirut in Syria similar
work is done, some of it on presses be-
longing to the Presbyterian Missionary So
ciety, with whom the American Bible So
ciety co-operates.
All the books for South Africa are
printed here. and those for the Gilbert
islands, the Kusaie and Ponape islands,
too, as well as many other far away points.
The packing OF Bibles for these points re-
