Water Notice.

Notice is hereby given that we
are very much aware of the
abuses practiced by water con-
sumers, and this is to give due
notice that people who allow
others to use water from their
hydrants, without reporting the
fact, will have their supply of
water cut off without notice.
Further, our price for sprink-
ling for the season is fifteen cents
per front foot, and this must be
paid by people using water for
Sprinkling purposes.
We know it is very dry, and
the temptation to use water is
very great, but it costs us lots OF
money to supply this water to
you, and we must look after our
own interests.

Strengthening up to a S39
base for the major portion of the
tonnage of second grade ores
sold marks the change of market
conditions for zinc ores during
the past week. Nothing but
small lots of ore sold as low as
S37, while Car lots were scarce
that sold under $3.50. First
grade ores, however, showed lit
tie change and a base price OF
$40 was the highest reported
paid. The highest price reported
paid for any lot was S+S. A few
lots of zinc blend ores carrying a
high percentage of iron brought
a base price of S45.50. The con-
tract price for the week was only
S3S.7S.
The market began to stiffen
early in the week, largely on ac-
count of the activity of the Ed
gar Zinc Company, which led the
buying, cleaning up all the avail
able lots of second grades and in
many cases taking high-grade
ores. The competition brought
on by this policy pushed up prices
in all the camps where this COM
pauy operated, its own prices be-
ing from a dollar to dollar and
a half higher than its previous
fortnight'S offerings.
The small quantity of zinc ores
held as surplus and available on
the present market, coupled with
the short production, has mater
tally helped in the stableizing in
lluences felt the past week.
Calamine ores have been feel
ing the zest of the situation, and
what ore was available went at
$50 to S23 for 10 per cent zinc.
Hardly a ripple has played
over the lead ore market the past
week to change the conditions
that have prevailed for a num-
Der of weeks. Prices have held
rigidly to the same old extremes
of S54 to $50, according to the
grade of the ore and the size OF
the lot. The sales reported con-
tiuue to show a close absorption
of the entire weekly output.
The smallness of the present
production Of the district has
necessitated the buying of small
lots with as much zeal and care
as large lots, and to that end
the buyers have been combing
the field for every available
from the scrapper with a
bucketful to the operator with a
car load Stocks of ore at the
smelters are gradually being be-
pleted in this field.

recommended by the American

Quoting a vigorous campaign

quarter of a pint of water, and
expose the solution in the room
where the flies are to be killed.

Hands aPaCkage.

The Columbus Advocate, the
Republican organ of the county,
hands out few packages, max
ing use of the following Ian
guage:
Attorney General Dawson's
so-called volunteers are about to
move on Cherokee County ac-
cording to a noisily made an
nouncement for Topeka.
This active military branch
of the volunteers will be former
Topeka policemen under COM
mand of Former Chief Stahl.
General Dawson has had all
this advertised at great length
in the Kansas City and Topeka
papers.
by this highly spectacular
movement Cherokee county is
being held up to the State as a
lawless community.
Are Dawson and his associ-
ates making an honest effort to
enforce the law, or is Cherokee
county being sacrificed to the
selfish political and financial am
billions of Dawson and others?
"A good many people in Col
umbus and throughout the coun-
ty are of the opinion that the
latter is the answer.
IF County Attorney Majors
or Sheriff Martin permitted the
least inkling of proposed raids
to leak out what would Dawson
say about them? Would he not
denounce them as working in
with the whiskey element and
being unfaithful to their trust?
why then does it become a
noble public service for Dawson
to announce when, where and
with what officers he is going
to proceed against alledged vio-
lators of the law.
Columbus wants the law en-
forced. The fact that there have
been no joints here for years and
this is the most dry town in the
state, not barring holy Topeka
attests that.
But Columbus does not want
County to bear unmer-
tied odium that certain men in |
Topekamay advance their politi-
cal interests.
AT the same time Dawson is
seeking publicity for himself by |
sending armed invaders he is
,onfessing that he is not able to
enforce the law by the usual ma
;hinery of the law. The indi-
vidual who at the slightest sign
Of trouble flashes a gun is rated
as a bully and a coward. How
about an attorney general who
IAN find no way save guns to
leal with a few men who may
be selling a few bottles of beer
put of a tub?
I'VE all want the law enforced
but do we want a bunch of To-
oekans armed to the teeth to in
,ade the county to do it when
,ther remedies if intelligently
applied would be equally effec'
i've?
mr.. Dawson should advise
himself that Cherokee county is
part of the State of Kansas and
lot a hostile foreign country"

Obituary.
A. D. c. Harvey, Died June 6,
1911--HistOry.

vey was born December IA, 1885
in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, of a long line of Scotch
ancestry, and died at Baxter
Springs, Kansas, June 6, 1911,
and was buried in the Baxter
Springs cemetery June 8, 1911.
On the 18th of June, 1886, his
| parents, George and Mary B,
Harvey, sailed from the port Of
Aberdeen in a sailing vessel and
landed in New York, August Is
tn, and settled near Savannah,
in Clear Creek Township, Ash
land County, Ohio, where he
spent his early boyhood days,
when in April, 1853, the family
moved to Jefferson Township,
Noble County, Indiana.
Although raised upon a farm
he disliked farming, his mind be-
ing mechanically bent; his spare
time was spent in the work shop.
When Is years of age he en-
tered upon the profession he had
chosen and for which he had
great natural ability; he carried
with him into his work such in
dustry and skill that in the fol-
lowing year his employer offered
him a partnership, which he &C
cepted, and for the next few
years was associated with some
of the leading master builders of
that county.
AT the age of IS years he was
the master mechanic in the con-
struction of the first brick coun-
ty court house in Albion, Noble
County, Indiana, in 1860.
After the close of the Civil
War this was followed by the
construction of the county asylum
and county Jail in the same coun-
ty, in which he was associated
with his father.
On account of his health and
to change the line of his activity
from that of a builder to more
quiet pursuits as we'll as to bet
ter his financial condition, he de-
cided to locate in Baxter Springs,
Kansas, and in November, 1882,
purchased property and moved
his family from Indiana the fol-
lowing spring.
Here he established a furni-
ture and undertaking business
which he continued until death.
On February Sth, 1860, he was
united in marriage with Miss
Annie Buchan of Clear Creek
Township, Ashland County,
Ohio, to whom were born four
children: George Leslie, who
died in infancy; Mrs. Mary Ellen
Jackson of Cabool, Mo; William
S. and A. Leroy of Baxter, who,
with his faithful wife of more
than fifty years, survive him.
Besides these there are three
brothers James N. and Levi w.
of Noble County, Indiana, and
Robert Harvey of Lincoln Ne
braska.
In early life while yet living
in Ohio, he consecrated his life
to the Master and lived a quiet,
yet faithful and consistent Chris
tian to the end.
During the last winter his
health began to fail, followed by
a complication of ailments which
gradually Slapped the energy and
vitality of this strong man, who
conscious for months that the
end was approaching, without
any complaint or murmer quietly
awaited the summons Of the
Master.
May the memory Of his quiet
useful life live long after him.
