Last Saturday morning at 6:3O
the FIRE alarm sounded, and upon
investigation it was found that
three box cars in the Frisco yards
were on FIRE. A hard fight was
made to save them, and only one
was badly damaged. The others
were uucoupled and saved. Just
how the fire originated is a mys-
terry, but the general suppositiOn
is that some weary Willies had
been using the Car for a hotel,
and got careless.

that something will be doing be-
fore long.

Has Made Good.

The ticket nominated at the
Citizens caucus last Wednesday
night is an exceptionally strong
one. DR.. Jones did not desire
to run again for the Office of
mayor, but so many people in
sisted on it that he decided to
again become their candidate.
His record in the past as mayor
has been all that could be de.
sired in a public official, and the
people want more of the same
kind. More improvement has
been made in the past three and
a half years in Baxter Springs
than was ever before made in
the entire history of the town,
and nobody has been hurt by the
improvements made. Three and
a half years ago there was only
one street in the city with walks,
and they were eyesores. Today
there are miles upon miles of
nice concrete walks and curb and
gutter. The streets have been
improved, many first class cross
ings have been put in, and bridges
have been made good. And in
the face of all this there is as
much money in the city treasury
as ever.

Party politics are barred in
Columbus this year. The citi-
zens, Republicans, Democrats and
everybody else got together in
Columbus and held a big caucus
and nominated just one ticket.
And that is just as it should be.
In Columbus there will be no
sore spots to heal over after the
election is over. In Columbus
the ticket is nominated and there
is only the formality of holding
an election. Business is not in
terrupted, and there will be no
breaking up of friendship. We
might also add that at Weir City
there is only one ticket in the
field, and that one is a Citizens
ticket. The people of Weir City
have learned that party politics
injected into city affairs hurts
the town, and they have decided
ta ulit cat.

DEMANDS DISMISSAL OF
TWO GOVERNMENT employees
House Committee Declares $1,000 Was
MIsappropriated In Purchase
Of Portrait.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Recom-
mendation that two state department
officials be discharged, the charge that
81 800 was Incorporated by one or
both OF these officials, and singing
commentary on the business methods
OF the state department, was the sub
stance OF q report adopted yesterday
by the house committee on expendi-
lures In the state department as a
result of it's investigation of the Day
portrait scandal"
Those named for dismissal are Dis
bursting Clerk Thomas Morrison, OF
the state department, and Former
Chief Clerk william Michael, now
consul-general at Calcutta, India.
The committee has been baffled In
It's efforts to find out exactly what be
came of $1,000 OF the S2,45O drawn
nominally for a portrait of the former
secretary, now Associate Justice Will
liam r. Day In 1909. The report says
that ex-Secretary Day agreed TO pay
Albert Rosenthal $3.50 to paint his por-
trait; Rosenthal signed blank vouch-
er and received Michaels' individual
check for $3.50. but the voucher was
filed In for s2.450.
Your committee" continues the re-
port, thinks II incredible that the
late Secretary Hay appropriated this
81 600 to his own use. The only inti-
nation tending to reflect upon him
comes from the letter of Michael and
this We do not believe.
The conclusion seems irresistible
that either the 1900 was Jointly mis-
appropriated by Michael and Morrison
or individually by Michael either
through the incompetence or the con-
nivance OF Morrison.
That Michael and Morrison should
long since have been removed from
Office, and that IL is not too late to
remove both for the good OF the pub
lie service and the integrity Of public
officials"
The committee does not recommend
a prosecution, as the statue OF limita-
tions has barred any prosecution.
Under state authority, neither the
president nor the secretary OF state
has any power TO pay for portraits OF
eX.secretaries OF state" declares the
committee.
The indlsputable facts show that
81, 500 was In the possession OF MORT.
son as disbursing clerk and Michael
as chief clerk and It's disposition is
unaccounted for except by the letter
OF Michael to the state department I'm
1906. saying he turned II over 10 Sec
rotary Hay, who at the time OF said
letter was dead"

buffaloes into a private arena, sum
moned few score OF the Indians who
had their wigwam homes nearby, and
gave impromptu amateur entertain
ments. The fame OF these spectacular
displays attracted first the attention
of Oklahoma. and then their fame
spread through the country.
When the Jamestown exposition
was promoted, the directors turned to
Miller Brothers, as the most famous
representatives OF the cattle Rising
business, TO give an arenic illustra-
ticn OF it's features. The show from
the Oklahoma prairie was the sensa-
tional triumph OF the fair. New York
City demanded a duplicate entertain
ment. The Millers hurried back to
the ranch, recruited another show
from the abundant resources OF their
acres and sent IL on TO Brighton
Beach, New York City, where. for six
weeks, II broke metropolitan records
of attendance and favor.
Before the FIRST snow OF winter
the Millers and their men and women
and live stock were back from what
they all called their spree with nc
notion but that their experience as
show people was over. But the
reputation their entertainment had
achieved had attracted the notice OF
amusement men, who saw the posi-
bilities OF such an enterprise.
The three ranchmen resisted all
overtures until Edward Arlington
placed his plans before them. Their
they capitulated and the 101 Ranch
Wild West became a permanent fac
tor In the world of tented amusement
Mr.. Arlington assumed EXCLUSIVE
charge OF route, publicity and tn
other manifold duties OF promotinI
the progress and publicity of tn
show, leaving Joseph c.. Miller un
trammeled In his conduct of the
arena The show is now in Its fourth
year, and IL is the largest exhibition
OF its character. In the world.
The show will be in Detroit next
Monday and Tuesday, with two per
formances and parade every day
On Monday the tent will be located
on the old Dix-ave. ball lot and or
Tuesday, out Jefferson-ave.
