1t is With a great AaAl At re-

A Close Call.
Tillman Hooker Comes Very
Near to Death in a Well.

Last week the Hooker boys
began the work of cleaning out
the we'll on the home place four
miles southwest of this city, and
one of them, Tillman, came very
near losing his life, and if help
had not come when it did both OF
them would have passed over the
Great Divide. The evening be-
fore a shot had been put off in
the we'll, but the fumes did not
go out during the night, but
seemed to become poisoned, and
in the morning Tillman went
down in the we'll to send out the
rock. He had been down only a
few minutes when he spoke to
his brother, Irwin, who was at
the windlass, and said Il can
hardly get my breath, and l feel
sick" Irwin told him to come
out, and he started up the ladder,
which, by the way, did not reach
to the top of the we'll. Irwin
noticed Tillman was in a bad
way, and when he could not get
any farther than the top of the
ladder, concluded it was time to
give assistance, so he started
down on the wall of the we'll to
the top of the ladder, where he
found Tillman unconscious,
but hanging to the ladder.
Irwin, noticing that the air was
bad, called for help, and by the
time it arrived, he, too, was be-
coming overcome. Mr.. Hooker
came in from the field in response
to a call from Mrs. Hooker, and
R. O.. Thomas, living near by,
came over. The two men got the
boys out, but it took a lot of work
to bring Tillman out of danger.
Drs. Wear and Boswell went out
in Wears auto, but by the time
they got there the neighbors had
worked the boys out of danger.
1t was a close call. and the boys
will be leery about going down
in another old we'll without first
finding out how the air is.

If everything would burn up.
The rain was general in its
nature, and this section of Gods
footstool is feeling very much
better, thank you.
Farmers are now blowing and
putting in cane, COW peas, and
other sorts of forage crops, and
the country will blossom as the
rose yet. Hay will be benefited
very much, and the second crop
will likely be good.
The man who did not offer
thanks to Almighty God for the
rain which fell in this community
has something the matter with
him, and should inquire into
himself.

A FINE RAIN.
A Good Rain Fell All Over This
Country Monday Night.

The fact that this section OF
country had a fine rain on Mon
day night is, of course, known to
the people in this part of the
country, but it is too good to
keep still about, and perhaps the
other parts OF the world will be
glad to know of it, so we give
the matter, in our humble way,
publicity.
The rain began falling about
seven o'clock, and continued in
a very energetic way until three
o'clock the next morning. Per-
haps an inch and a half fell, and
it revived vegetation. Grass is
wonderfully helped, and corn is
put out of danger. The late
corn is in exceptionally fine
shape, and very little of the
early corn way beyond help.
Ponds which had any water i"
them were repleuished, and the
small streams are of course

Five sacks full of small cata-
logues from Sears s. Roebuck
were received at the Baxter
Springs postofice one day last
week. If the mail order house
sent as many catalogues to other
places as they did here the num-
ber printed must have been enor-
nous. Now, we are going to
tell you something: The mail
order people do not send nearly
as many catalogues to communi-
ties where the merchants are not
afraid to advertise as they do
where the local merchants are
timid about advertising. This
Is absolutely true, and if you
doubt it, ask the advertising ex-
perts. There is no merchant in
the country who can not sell
goods as cheaply as Sears &
Roebuck, and most of them do,
but who knows it? The mail
order people are constantly ad-
vertising. They never quit, but
the average merchant advertises
only spasmodically. If every
merchant in this city would make
an advertising contract with this
paper, the contract to be in force
for one year, and let us supervise
the getting up of the advertis'
ing matter, there will be such a
change in the amount of busi'
ness done in this town as viii
surprise the Oldest iuhabitant
But an advertisement once in
while will not do the work. Yor
must keep constantly at It. Thai
Is the way the mail order peo
pie do.

THE EAR DOES II,
 DECLARES AUERBACH STOMACH HAS NOTHING TO DO
 WITH SEA SICKNESS.
Doctors Statement Shows How Dan
 gerous it is to Trust The Obvious.

New York, Aug. 31-If you were ever seasick, you have propably imagined that your tum-tum had something to do with the ailmcnt. Doubtless it had. but only as an effect. and aot as a cause. So, at least, declares pr. Julius Auerbach, who has just returned from Europe, where in company with other scientist he made an exhaustive study of mai de mer. The ailment. says pr. Auerbach, is due 'o an irritation Of a part of the inner ear which has as its function the maintaining of the equilib- rum. The motion of a vessel upsets the equilibrium and brings on seasick- ness. It has been discovered that irri- tation in other ways of this canal of the inner ear results in all the symp- toms of seasickness. Many tests prov ed that persons in whose ears these canals had been destroyed were never seasick.

sty for Judicial Reforms.

Boston, Aug. 31-"Arbitration dis putes between nations is coming slow ly but surely" said President Taft today in an address to the American Bar Association. which concluded it's 34th annual convention tonight The president briefly reviewed the pro- posed general arbitration treaties with England and France and made plain that in his opinion. objections made the treaties invalid He de- clared emphatically that there is much room for improvement in the proced- ure of federal courts, and upon us, he said, fell the buden of initiating reforms in that respect The chief justice of the supreme court, he said has taken the matter in hand. with his associates and the district judges and has called d conference in Wash ington where they will formulate new rules of procedure This is great step in the direction of practical re- form. The president said there is great need to incease the judicial salaries so that the best men of the bar will be available for the bench.

 He was talking Of reform laws, for whose observance the convention had deemed fit to add supplementary plank to the platform. Madero said these reforms are desired by the peo- pie today no less than by the people when they were drafted by Berito Ju- arez and his administration. Clergy men will not be allowed to hold office, but Madero announced that with this he supported. friars or their foes, will find himself embarrassed by any an tagonism in the exercise of his polti- cal rights. The convention here arose and wildly applauded. Madero showed that he recognized the value of the ar my when he assured the convention. he would be slow to alter the personnel of the national troops. He said, however he favored abolition of compulsory ser vice, but added that the country at present needed a strong military force, and no change will be made until nor nal conditions are restored.

ATLANTIC FLEET WILL TRY CANNON PRACTICE
Tests will be Made off Capes of the
 Chesapeake.

Washington, Aug. 3-.-At dawn to- morrow the Atlantic fleet, the real power of the American navy, will be- gin a spectacular summer practice off Chesapeake capes, under simulated battle conditions. Realizing the future naval combats to be fought at great distances, no shot will be fired in practice under 5000 yards. The maxi mum range will be 16.O00 yards, or not more than nine miles. Practice will be extended over d period of two weeks. so battleships are due to en- counter rough weather It is argued the sailors cannot pick the time or weather conditions for real battle, so in practice they should be given all kinds of weather. Ar- old battlcship may be used as targets.
