Mr.. Shoemaker declared that considera-
tion of the matter was out of order.
The board conCurred, and continued the
case. Meanwhile, the so-called wild

dent of tFfis city and vicinity

Announcement.

Iwant to speak to the readers
of this paper on various religious
subjects. Please allow me to
say to you in the first place that
l am ready to prove by the Bible
that any man living in the Goth
century claiming that God has
given him miraculously in an
swer to prayer the power to
speak with unknown tongues is
base imposter. Come to the

Another Custer.

Attorney General Dawson has
filed an custer suit against Coun-
ty Attorney Majors, notwith-
standing the fact that Majors
has been diligent in the enforce
ment of law. Majors, so the
records show, has secured more
convictions of violations of the
liquor laws than any attorney the
county has ever had.
But the law puts lot of power
in the hands of the attorney gen.
eral. Whenever it is the wish of
the attorney general to GUST a
man from Office all he has to do
is file an application with the su.
preme court. The law reads:
That on a petition being
filed for a writ of custer, brought
by the attorney general the Judge
may, on application of such at
torney, suspend such officer, pend
ing a hearing of the matter, and
that the officer having power
(by statute) may appoint his
successor, until the case is set
tied"
This places considerable power
in the hands of one officer, doesn's

High Water Damage.

The heavy rains of last Friday
did an immense amount of dam
age all over this section of coun-
try. About a thousand feet of
the Joplin and Pittsburg electric
line was washed out near AS
bury, and between Pittsburg and
Girard about five hundred feet
was washed out. The mines OF
the district are full of water,
many of them at least, and the
bridges all over the country were
endangered.
The Katy bridge over Spring
river was displaced about a foot
at one end, and the Frisco kept
a big gang of men on It's bridge
at Riverton to keep the drift
wood from piling up against the
bridge. The viaduct bridge of
the Spring River Power Com
pauy, just north of Lowell, was
protected in the same way. The
wagon bridge over Spring river
at Lowell was closed for fear the
big dam would break and carry
it away.
The wagon road the other side
of Shoal creek on the Galena
road was two feet deep in water,
and the road between the slough
and river bridges at this place
was covered with water, but II
was not to exceed a couple Of
feet in depth.
Spring river was very high,
but BY Monday morning it had
fallen a foot.

reasons people are feeling mighty
good, and they are going to come
to town next Saturday, meet
their friends and acquaiutances
and have a sort of jollifcation
over the outlook in general.
Then, too, it is going to be
the last Booster Day in Baxter

AirShipS Here.

A contract has been closed
with a company for airship
flights here during the big re-
union. Very few people in this
section of country have seen the
airbirds, and for this reason the
management of the reunion made
a contract for the flights here.
There will be two flights
daily, and if you fail to see them
you will miss an opportunity
you may never have another
chance at.
The aviator tells us he will
make some startling flights here,
and if there is anything the peo-
pie want Is to be startled.

Many Baxterites attended the
Old Settlers reunion at Colum-
bus this week, but it was rather
disagreeable getting around, the
ground was so wet. 1t was
really too bad, for the manage
meut had gone to a lot of trouble
and expense to make the affair a
success. 1t was a success. how
ever, in spite of the wetness.
We believe, however, that the
Columbus people are going to
have to gravel the main walks
and driveways of their park to
guard against repetition of the
wet grounds they are afflicted
with this year.
