Baxter People Can Now Get
Along Without ChOppine
Kindline Wood.

Baxter Springs people, who
happen to be connected up with
the gas line can now have fire

kindling and carry out ashes.
The gas company has worked
hard to get the work on the main
line done before real cold weather
sets in, and they have in a meas

The main line pipe was lost
in shipment, but the company
went right ahead piping the town
and laid the mains on the princi-
pal streets and as soon as the big
pipe was found work on laying it
was rushed. The connection
with the main flow line wss made

CAMPBELL BROS. SHOWS.

The Campbell Bros. great conso.
lidated shows arrived in our city
cary this morning, and imn ediately
the unloading of the cars took place.
Quite a large crowd were down to
the depot to see the horses, ponies,
camels, elephants ind wagons un-
loaded, and it seems as if this sight
will never grow old, as the people of
today are anxious to see the cars
unloaded as they we're in the good
old circus days. The Campbell Bros.
carry a company of 400 people, have
a stable of 200 fine horses, and they
certainly are in fine condition, and
it takes a train of 80 cars to trans
port their property from town to
town.
The parade took place this morn
ing about eleven o'clock and large
crowds lined the streets to witness
it, and they were we'll pleased. Two
good bands, steam calliope, a large
herd of elephants and a long line
of lady and gentlemen riders in
bright, fiashy costumes, and taking
1t all together it was a very good
parade and drew large crowd to
the show grounds to see the free ex-
hibition.
The big show commenced prompt
ly at two o'clock and the large tent
was filled to it's capacity and the au-
dience went away well pleased with
the performance.-Cen Daily

States, none are quite so ADVANTAGE

healthful part of these states, a new
line of railroad-The New Orleans
Great Northern-has been built and
is now in operation, splendidly equip

territory it serves is mild and salubri-
Gus, growing any kind of crop de-
sired and especially suited to cane,
cotton, grains, grass, early vegetables
and fruits. These lands can be
bought at reasonable figures-parti-
cularly the fertile cut-over lands
OF which hundreds of thosands of
acres along the N. O. G.. N. Railroad
are awaitino development by settlers.
On these rich lands and in the new
ana rapidly growing towns along the
line, are hundreds of opportunities
to engage in various lines of indus
try in modest way and with COM
parat1vely little capital. The mer-

and the professional man or mechanic

stroy the vessels as a dangerous dere-
lict, but when Walls refused to leave
the bark it was finally determined
to make an effort to reach Galveston
with the schooner in tow. Captain
Falconer, of the Parkwood, explain
ed that entreaties were first made in
an effort to have Walls abandon his
ship, then threats, but all to no avail.
The voyage to Galveston was with
out chart, this being the steamers
first trip to Galveston and with only
a scant supply of food aboard.
Tonight Walls is still aboard his
boat, fast recuperating and in jolly
mood, expressing determination to
remain aboard until landed by the
schooner's owners.

Biloxi, Miss, Oct. 23.-Almost al
the feet of his wife, who unconscious
ly held the lantern for her husbands
murderers, j. T. Broadus was shot
down and instantly killed last night
The murder was committed on the
Broadus farm, near Winnie, Miss.
about six miles north of this city.
Several attempts were made by the
assassins to get Broadus out of doors
before they finally succeeded, by 60
ing to the chicken house and making
noise among the chickens. Broadus
who had ignored the other noises
the band had made, rose from bed
and accompanied by his wife, who
carried a lantern, started for the
coops. He was bending over the
hasp of the door, While his wife
held the light, when the first shot
was fired.
Mrs. Broadus, terrified, dropped
the lantern with scream, and ran
for the house but not before she
had seen the bleeding body of her
husband pitch forward on it's face
After the first shot five or six other
reports followed, and the appearance
of the body showed that the murder
ers spent their spite on it after
Broadus was dead. One entire
charge from a shotgun had blown
out the back of the farmers head
Another, believed to have been the
first, had torn way through his back,
under the left shoulder. Both these
shots must have been fired at close
range, but the body bore marks that
showed the assassins had stood off
and fired at the inert, lifeless form.
1t was fairly peppered with scatter
ing shot.
Justice of the Peace and Ex-officio

Smith, foreman; Francis Barthes,
J. P. Moran, L. II. Krohn, J. Fl.

ed the body where it had lain since
the shooting in the early part of
the night, and heard some evidence.
No report has been made of their
finding. 1t is said that Broadus had
had some trouble with some of his
neighbors about a hog.
The body was brought to Biloxi,
where it has been prepared for burial
by local undertaken. From here
it will be shipped to Wheelervi1Ie,
Ala, for burial.

CAPTAIN WALLS OF THE
WRECKED SCHOONER SAVED.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 26.-Captain
E. E. Walls, of the Schooner Hollis
wood, from which the Norwegian
steamship Harald, bound for New
York, took off the crew of seven
men on October II, was brought into
port to-day aboard the steamship
Parkwood Captain R. Folconer, in
tow of the schooner, which was pick
ed up about 100 miles off the Cam
peche banks On October 20.
Three days without food and only
salt water to drink, the aged captain
was delirious when found. A distress
signal flying from the derelict at
tracted the Parkwood, which had
been blown about $50 miles out of
its course. Stripped of it's three
spars and the rudder, and with the
upper structure and rail all but de-
molished, the schooner, which held
over 100000 feet of cypress lumber
was being pounded by the sea when
taken in tow. The 10000 feet of
lumber above deck was washed away

Captain Walls is still aboard his

LOST BY CUBS

Chicago, Oct. 23.-The baseball
championship of the world belongs
to hte Philadelphia Club of the
American League. The clinched the
penant fast to-day with seven runs
to two for the Chicago Nationals,
and there was none in the big over
flow crowd to say that they had not
won it fairly and squarely.
Five games were played, and the
Eastern younsters took four of them
by outbatting, outfelding and out
running the veteran Chicagoans.
They "got the jump" at the start,
and although Chicago punctuated
their progress with a defeat yester-
day, it really did not change the sit
uation bit.
The Philidelphians were due. They
won the American League banner, in
1902, but there was no worlds series
that year. Five years ago the New
York Nationals were too strong for
them. So, in this year of grace, it
was not in the cards that they were
to be denied.
While the series was not the most
profitable ever played, it helps to
simplify the high-cost-of-living prob
lem confronting even such heroes as
the Philidelphians, to say nothing of
Chicagoans, with winter coming on.
The players share of the money
amounts to $79,071.93. OF this so
per cent, or $47,443.15, goes to the
winners and $31, ,62S.77 to the losers.
AS there are twenty-three players on
each team eligible to participate,
each of the Philidelphians is entitl-
ed round numbers to $2,O62 and
each Chicagoan to $1,375.
TOTAL RECEIPTS $173,98O.
The players shared in to-days re-
ceipts by courtesy of the manage
ment of the two clubs, who conceded
that If to-day's receipts should be
larger than those of any previous
day, the smallest receipts should be
considered as accruing to the fifth
game and Sundays receipts accred-
tied to the forth contest, the last
in which the players had financial
share.
The total receipts for the series
were s173,980. The two clubs share
$38,755 apiece, while s17,399 goes
to the National Commission
The total paid attendance was
125,919 persons
According to the general verdict,
the newly won prestige of the Phila-
delphians and their wreath entitle
them to top places in Athletic blue
books, and for same reasons, with
others added, it is declared that while
Connie Mack is good workaday ap-
pellation and fits nicely into head
lines, that as manager of the great
est ball team On earth, he should
henceforth be addressed as Mr.. Cor
nelius McGillicuddy, with never a
syllable slurred. When this was
put to Mr.. McGillicuddy, howevr, he
blushed modestly and said it did not
matter what the MANAGER of a team
like his was called.
