MEXICAN OFFICIALS
DOUBTFUL OF PEACE
Believe 0rozc0 will Resist
0vertures BY
Government.

Mexico City.-Official Mexico ap-
pears to regard with much pessimism
the outlook for peace. Attempts prob
ably will be made to reopen negotia-
tons with General Orozco but it is
generally believed the rebel leader in
the north will resist overtures by the
government He was reported in a
special telegram to Ell Dirio as having
refused to meet General Huerta at a
point south Of Juarez and there sur
render, adding that he would lead his
forces into the capital itself within a
month.
An echo to the charge by the Mexi.
can government that Senator Fall was
responsible for the failure of Minister
Hernandez to bring about an agree
ment between the government and
Orozco was contained in a special dis
patch from Ell Paso. In that it was
charged that an American in Ell Paso
had negotiated with the rebels, not
for the purpose Of preventing Orozco
from entering the United States ter
ritory, but to keep the war going. It
was charged that he represented a
group of American bankers whose in
terests, it was alleged, would be fav-
ored by the continuance of hostilities

Will be a Big Day.
Saturday, October IL, is the Day
Baxter Springs viii be Fill
ed to the Rim.

Saturday, October IL, will be
the big A. H. II. A. doings in
Baxter Springs, and If you are
not here you will miss big time,
and a lot of wholesome enjoy
ment. There will be 4 lot oi
contests of different kinds, and
there will be speech making,
parades, etc. There will be a
big basket dinner in the p'rk,
and to top it all off, there is go
ing to be a lot of good fellowship
on hand everywhere In town.
The Anti Horse Thief Associ'
alton is one of the most import
ant orders in the country. Itnot
only promotes good fellowship
and brotherly love among Its
members, but it Is a power fol
good, and law and order. In
counties where there are lots oi
Ants, crime is scarce, and prop
erty is we'll protected. Crooks,
as a rule, give a community which
has a local a vide berth, and the
word is passed on to other crooks
to steer clear.
Regular meetings are held by
the different locals, and views are
exchanged. If a suspicious cuss
moves into a neighborhood he is
investigated without knowing it,
and if he commits any overt act,
he is apprehended by the Ants,
or at any rate, they lend their
assistance, and the local officers
are greatly assisted thereby.
The Ants are entitled to the
assistance of every good citizen,
and if you are not member, you
should join, thereby showing
that you are in favor of law and
order, and against crime and
crooks.
The big doings in this city next
Saturday, Oct. 12, viii be pro-
ductive of many ACQUISITIONS to
the membership ofthe Ants, and
will rebound for good in a great
many ways. Be on hand. Come
early, and spend the whole day.
You will be we'll repaid, and you
will thoroughly enjoy the entire
day. Don't forget the day and
date.
