about a dollar and a quartz r,
mostly in nickels and pennies,
and a fine Colts revolver, the

a few weeks ago he professed
christianity, and in order to help
him along several of the good
people Of the city have given
him employment and in a way
have tried to look after him and
help him make a man of himself.

Booster Day.
Last Saturday Was the Day, and
it Was a Big One for Sure.

Last Saturday was Booster
Day in Baxter Springs, and the
day was a big one, viewed from
all sides. Early in the day the
people began to pour into town,
and by noon every livery barn
and feed yard in the town was
full of rigs and the merchants
were doing a big business. The
registration was quite large,
fourteen hundred and two per-
sons taking advantage of the
chance afforded to get a prize.
The prize drawing took place
at $3.50, and there was a jam at
headquarters while the drawing
was going on.
That Baxter Springs is the
home of the Booster Day move
ment is a fact, and that the peo-
pie appreciate this fact is shown
by the immense crowds which at
tend whenever the big doings is
pulled off here. They realize
that everything that is promised
here comes to pass, and then,
too, the Baxter Springs merch-
ants are very liberal lot of fell
lows, as is always shown by the
low prices made on Booster Day.
Prices in Baxter Springs are al
ways lower than in surrounding
towns, and on account of this
fact business is growing in Bax-
ter Springs.

Cupid'S Work.

Cupid Is getting in his work
right along, and his latest vic
Tins in this city do not complain
in the least about the virus which
has attacked their system.
Several months ago Mrs, Beltz-
hoover moved with her daugh-
ters, Misses Nola and Mayme, to
Kansas City. A short time ago
she returned to this city to live,
but only her daughter, Miss
Nola, returned with her. But
Sunday morning the other daugh-
ter came, and her name was not
Beltzhoover when she got here.
On Friday of last week she was
married to Robert Bruce Mckin-
ney, a fine young man, former
resident of Garden township.
Mr.. Mckinney has been study
ing in Kansas City, and the
young couple made up their
minds to celebrate the closing up
of his studies by getting married.
And that is what happened, as
stated above. They are both
fine young people, and the News
extends congratulations.
J. B. Brown, living on Cedar
street, was married on last Sat-
urday evening to Mrs. Ella
Silence. We accused Brown sew
eral days ago of being about to
commit matrimony, but he de-
MED it. We have kept weather
eye on him, however, and our
suspicious were justified. His
bride went to Dakota some time
ago to live with a daughter, but
returned a short time ago.
The couple are at home on
East Cedar street in this city,
and the News extends congratu-
lations to both, for certainly
they are good people.

have attacked the people on Ced-
ar street, as this makes three

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme. and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con-
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of piece of wire
of considerable length and never hav.
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what It was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck in the
ground and voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
tho other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
tion work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
1t at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation Of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.
