Booster Day.
Next Saturday, Dec. II. is the
Day, and Of Course Baxter
Springs is the Place.

| 4 uC last OOOobCA 10y Ava A~AN
will occur next Saturday, Dec.
II, and the place where the big
doings will be pulled off will oi
course be Baxter Springs, the
home of Booster Days. On that
day something more than fifty
prizes will be given away, and
the real beauty of this is that il
costs nothing to have a try at
the prizes. The only require
ments are that you live outside
the corporate limits of the city,
and that you register your ticket
in person. r.
If the weather is good next
Saturday there will be a record
breaking crowd in town. In fact
we look for the biggest crowd
ever seen here, except, of course,
during the big reunions. And
inasmuch as the crowd will be a
big one, it behooves everybody
to get into town on that day. It
is only a week from that day till
Christmas, and holiday shoppers
are going to be very numerous.
Make it a point to register early
in the day, and then 60 and do
your shopping. The prize draw
ing will take place Immediately
after the close of the registra-
tion, at 3 o'clock, and If you wait
until late to do your trading you
may find it hard to get waited
on. Therefore, come early, reg
lister early, and make your pur-
chases early.
The stocks of goods to be on
display next Saturday will be
the finest ever shown in Baxter
Springs. There will be every
thing in the way of the needfuls
of life, and in addition there
will be immense, mammoth and
huge lines of holiday goods on
display. The merchants of Bax-
ter Springs are not set of hogs
and they are going to make
prices which will move car loads
of goods on that day. Baxter
Springs is the place to come on
next Saturday if you want to
buy anything, or if you want to
have a real good time and get
your eyes full.
To Baxter Springsipeople we
want to make this suggestion:
Next Saturday morning early
buy what you have to get that
day. Don't expect to be waited
on later in thesday, for the town
is going to be brimful of people
from out of town, and you ought
by all means give the merchants
a chance to wait on the out of
town trade. Order your grocer
les early in the morning, in the
evening before if possible. so de-
livery can be made to you early
in the morning. By doing this
you can in a measure avoid the
rush that is sure to come.

khG NOA0NA eNHsA0AA ~
& Kansas Electric Railroad Il
connect Galena with Baxter
Springs and Miami and also Col
umbus such doubt probably has
been dispelled by the company''
latest action in taking ovel
Franklin Smiths railroad line
from Miami to Hattonville at
cost of $50,00O, the money fol
which has been paid over. Ac'
cording to reports of the sale
IS3S, 900 was paid for the rightof'
way and $4,000 for the rails. II
is also announced that the engine
which has been in use on this
| line for many months will be used
in hauling material from Miami
for the completion of the line and
as soon as possible the Miami
Hattonville line will be electri-
fed.
AS previously stated the plans
of the company call for the con-
struction of a line from Galena
to Miami and at a point near the
Empire District company'S big
plant at Riverton another line OF
the road will branch off to Col
umbus, where connection will be
made with the Helm line to Pitts
burg. AT Seventh and Main
streets in Galena the new line
will connect with the line of the
Southwest Missouri Railway COM
pany, thus furnishing a belt line
connecting Galena, Columbus,
Pittsburg and Joplin.
In connection with the deal
just closed it is stated that nego-
tiations are pending for the use
of the Southwest Missouri tracks
between Galena and Joplin and
as a result of the plans no on it
not improbable that Galena and
Joplin will be connected by dou-
BILE track by that company.
At present there are two COM
panies in the deal and this order
will continue until the two can
be merged. At meeting of the
financiers, promoters and officers
of the new company VIM. Houk,
of the Conqueror Trust company
of Joplin, was elected president
of the Smith company, and will
hold this Office until the consoli-
dation can be effected according
to the laws of the different states.
The officers chosen for the Okla
homa & Kansas line were Presi-
dent, Charles M, Jones of Bax-
ter Springs; Vice President, John
NJ. Cooper of Baxter Springs;
Manager, M. C. Harper of Mus
kogee, Okla, Directors, VIM.
Houk of Joplin; ]. Shomon of
Galena; L. Murray Perkins, J.
]. Fribley, Thos. F. Cole, E. B.
Morgan, e. W. Dow and Chas.
L. Smith of Baxter Springs; DR..
W. L. McWilliams, of Miami.
For the present the Offices of
the officers have been moved to
Miami. The city in which the
general Offices will be located
permanently will be decided up
on later.
The plans of the new company
call for the installation of equip
meut of the latest and most i'm
proved patterns and all cars used
will be on the order of those used
on the Helm line between Joplin
and Pittsburg while powerful
electric engines will be used for
handling freight trains. 1t is
stated that the freight trains
will be operated between the
hours of lip. m. and 5 a. m. in
order that there viii be no inter-
ference with the passenger traffic
bat at intervals during the day
express cars will be operated to
handle the small package and
parcel business.

ton and in this event the power
troubles of the company will
have been reduced to the mini
mum.
= With the completion of the
new line the movement for the
development of the resources of
the country traversed will become
general and Baxter Springs will
profit By the new line more than
any other city. The line will be
especially valuable to the far
mers of Quaker Valley who make
a business of small fruit and
truck raising as the line will put
them in touch with the markets
IF the different cities.
Franchises have been secured
by the new company In all the
cities to be touched by the line,
and it is stated, all the prelimin-
airy work has been completed.
Since the closing of the deal for
the Smith line actual work of
grading and construction of the
remainded of the line in all prob
ability will be commenced with
out delay.

AMERICAN BANDITS PREY
ON ARGENTINE REPUBLIC
Daring Outlaws Compel Cow
eminent TO Pay Tribute

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-The state
department at Washington is in re-
CENT Of a dispatch that three outlaws
rom the United States. whose names
were at one time upon the tongue of
every person in the Rocky mountain
region, have taken up residence in the
Argentine Republic and are leading a
land Of brigsnds so powerful that the
government itself is forced TO pay them
tribute. They are masters OF q great
cattle ranch. which extends into
mountain Businesses, where are located
the headquarters of the outlaws.
The American leaders of the gang
are George Leroy Parker, alias
Dutch Cassidy; Harry Longbaugh,
alias The sun Dance KID" and Harvey
Logan. alias kid Curry"
Logan was the most desperate and by
far the most resourceful Of them all
He mas fought and killed officers of the
law. and no prison has been strong
enough to hold him. 1t is said that the
Union Pacific railway alone has spent
half million dollars in trying to cap
ture him.
I,ogan's escape from prison at Knox
Vile. Tenn, when he lassooed a guard
with a fine wire, bound him. took his
guns and forced a stablemen to give
aim the sheriff's feetest horse, on which
he escaped to Wyoming, is one Of the
most spectacular feats OF prison break
ing on record.

LIBRARY SITE IS
TIED UP BY COURT
Long Tells Supervisors They
Can Not Use 1t for Tenn
pOrary City Hall

That the plan of the board of super
visors to use the library site at Hayes
and Franklin streets for temporary
city hall can not be put into execution
and that some other location must be
chosen is the essence of the opinion
of City Attorney Percy Y. Long, given
last week at the request of the board.
Objections have been raised TO the
use of the site at Seventh and Har-
risan streets, now devoted to the chill
dren's Fairgrounds, for city hall pur-
poses, on the double grounds that it
it would be an out of the way location
for a public building and that il would
deprive the children of the vicinity
OF a tract devoted TO their pleasure.
The objection to the library site.
while not dependent upon the same
grounds. IS seemingly as substantial.
This was the first site considered by the
board of supervisors in connection with
its policy TO provide a temporary build
ing. a communication was sent to
the city attorney asking for an opinion
upon the legal rights of the board to
use the ground for this purpose, but
the suggestion met with a decided set
back.
Long advised the board that 1t had
no power TO divert the library lot to
use for a city hall. He based this
OpiAiOu upon an lnJunCIlOO issued by
Judge Seawel nearly three years ago.
restraining the Duffey board of works
from entering upon the library block
to erect a city hall at the time the
Gallagher board of supervisors desired
the work done Long held that the
Injunction, as well as the reasons for
its issuance, was still in force
Aside from the legal aspect of the
question the board of library trustees
has objected to the use of the city
library lot upon other grounds. The
point has been made that the city
records should not be allowed in
temporary frame structure, liable to
fire, and that it would be far better
TO erect structure upon the city hall
site which might later be incorpor-
ated in the larger building as a part
of the general plan.

BURIAL ORDINANCE
LITIGATION ENDEO
Federal Supreme Court Upholds
Law Forbidding Interments
in City of San Francisco

San Francisco's prohibition against
burials within the county's bounds, ex-
cept those portions under the direct
ownership and control of the United
States government, has been confirmed
by the federal supreme court.
The fight begun nearly 10 years ago
by the Laurel Hill cemetery associa-
ton ended yesterday when the supreme
court upheld the constitutionality of
the ordinance and its validity under
the police powers of the board of su-
pervisors.
The measure forbidding the inter
ment of the dead within the city was
opposed by the cemetery associations,
and the Laurel Hill association brought
suit in the superior court. The city's
right was here upheld and the state
supreme court affirmed the decision.
Assistant City Attorney Jesse Stein
hart has during the last two years had
charge of the case for the municipality,
and a few months ago went to Wash
ington to lay before the court the city's
final contention.

ADMINISTRATOR SUES
MINING MANS WIDOW
Demands Valuable Stock for
Estate of Frank M. Stone

Public Administrator Hynes, as adj
ministrator of the estate Of Frank NJ
Stone, mining man, who died June Z
1908, sued yesterday to recover posses
sion of S4l,150 shares of the Alaska
treasure consolidated mines, said to be
worth about 80 cents a share
In 1905 all the stock of the company
owned by stone, John c. Lynch, James
II. BOrland John S. Blake, W. Han
son and Percy T. Morgan, was by
agreement placed in trust with Nor
gan, who issued certificates showing
the amount of stock held for each
share holder. The certificates for the
S41,150 shares placed in the trust by
Stone is now held by his widow, Mrs
Frances Stone, and although Hynes as
administrator has demanded the certi-
ficate from her she refuses to give if
up. Morgan, as trustee, also refuses to
cancel the certificate on his book.
The public administrator asks the
court to decree that the estate is the
absolute owner of the stock and to
direct Morgan to cancel the certificate
issued to Stone. ,

BURKf'S LAWYERS
HOLD CONFERENCE
Hiram Johnson Meets Accused
SanatOrium Head for the
First Time
Grand jury Expected to Com
plete Inquiry Into the
Explosion Friday
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 21.-'1t's a most
Johnson this afternoon. after spend
ing two hours with DIR. Willard r.
Burke, under bonds in the sum of $780,
600, on the charge of using explosives
with intent to injure human being, as
the result of the explosion at Burke's
sanatorium Saturday night, February 8,
when Lou Eta Smith and her II months
old child narrowly escaped death.
Johnson came up on the afternoon
train from San Francisco and went to
the Office of Attorney J. Rollo Leppo,
with whom he will be associated in the
defense Of Doctor Burke when the case
comes to trial. 1t was the first time
the two attorneys had ever met, and
the first time Johnson had met Doctor
Burke was when he entered the office
to participate in the consultation. The
purpose of Johnson's visit was to ia
miliarize himself with the facts in the
case and meet his client.
When seen at the train just prior to
leaving town Johnson said he would re-
turn the latter part of the week for
another consultation, and by that time
he expected the investigation of the
case by the grand jury would be COM
pleted. Until that time there would be
nothing for the defense to do.
District Attorney Clarence f. Lea and
his assistant, G.. w. Hoyle, have been
engaged today on other matters and
nothing has been done on the Burke
case.
The grand jury will resume its in
quiry Thursday morning, and it is said
there are still about Is witnesses to
be examined. These witnesses are the
ones who will bring the facts de-
veloped right to the door of the accused.
Whether the case can be concluded in
one day is doubtful, and it is not ex-
pected that the grand jury will be
ready to pass on the case before Friday
afternoon at the earliest.

L. T. Cooper, whose theory that the
human stomach is the cause of most Ill
health. and who created furore in
Chicago, ST. Louis and other western
cities, is meeting with the same re-
markable success with his medicine
throughout the east Cooper has con-
WINGED an immense number of people
that his theory is sound and his med1-
cine will do what he claims.
Perhaps the most interesting features
of the discussion this young man is
causing are the statements made by
responsible people who have taken his
medicines and have become enthusiast
tic converts to his beliefs.
Among statements of this character
the following by Mr.. August Wittmer,
