show that the reason the secretary OF
agriculture suppressed a circular on
information wiicn had been preparod

which the department had done in the

Underwood Appeal.

Ma iorItY Leader Underwood made a
powerful appeal FOR the adoption of his
substitute resolution. His plan. which
eventually was adopted. set forth prima :
rilv that all matters OF legislation and
investigation OF the character proposed
should be confined TO the standing com
mittoes Of the house and provided spe
cihcally that the subject suggested for
inquiry In the Henry resolution he re
feiTed respectively to the committees ON
banking and currency, election of presI-
dent. vice president and representatives
in congress, Interstate and foreign com
merce and judiciary.
Mr.. Underwood said that the integrity
OF the house should be guarded against
interference. Others who cliampioncd the
Underwood substitute broadly stated that
Mr.. Bryan had tried to force the Demo
cratic conferees 10 conduct an inyesti
CATION OF his own proposal and in his
own way.
Mr., Pujc or louisiana, chairman oi
the committee on banking and currency,
frankly declared That he never was n
BryaD Democrat. although he had voted
for him. Mr. Hardwick of Georgia al
member OF the rules committee criti-
cisod Chairman Henry for taking intia
tive action In the matter without con-
sultng his colleagues ON the committee.
Others who declared they would not
put on The Bryan yoke" were Repre- :
scntaiiyes stevens of Mississippi. Glass
of Virginia. and Garner of Texas.

Dismissed for Cause.

Elliott and Morehouss were dis
missed by the secretary of acricul-
tIlre because they had certified and
presented false accounts, knowing
hem TO be false. on which The gov
crnment had paid out moneys. Not
only did they know 'he accounts
were false, but they procured tho
persons 10 make the false accounts,
telling these persons that they would
receive money foI' their trouble. They
admit they did this: they concealed
their unlawful acts from their chief,
DR.. y. G, True, and when DIR, 1rup
discovered the facts he rncomu ended
their dismissal. The secretary dis
missed them and as there was a Yio

the facts and papers in his posses

LyCeum Course.

The second number of the Ly'
ceum Course will be given at the
opera house on Thursday night,
Dec. ~. The program, which
consists of readings and imper'
sonations, will be given by M.
Beryle Buckley. Her careful Sc
lection of subjects, which vary
from a whisk of a child's fairy
tale to the most dramatic read
ing, gives to her work a new
ness and freshness, and she en-
ters into every new phase with
vim and earnestness. Her work
is simple, natural, enthusiastic,
free of delivery, and, above all,
backed by personal charm and
broad intelligence. Those who
have no season tickets may get
single admission tickets for SOC.
We need your presence and
help. Remember the date Dec. II.

The Mines.

Last week was a quiet one IN
the ore markets, prices for lead
and low-grade blende being lower
and a lack of spirited bidding be-
ing noted in all buying. Prices
for low-grade zinc ore were from
ST. to So lower, although no
change was noted in offers for
blende which runs high in metal
lie zinc.
The high base price for blende
assayiug 80 per cent metallic
zinc was $50. The base range
was from SIS to $50. The drop
in prices for low-grade ore did
not indicate a general weak mar
ket. The drop in prices was a
recession to normal figures after
a week of unusually spirited buy
ing. which sent quotations to
marks out of relation with other
offers. On the whole, conditions
in the blende market were un'
changed as far as high-grade ore
was concerned.
Lead prices were 81 lower per
ton, the high price of the week
being $50. Although there was
another drop in prices, the mar
ket seemed more steady and it is
believed that the bottom OF the
toboggan has been reached. Pig
lead quotations are showing more
flrmuess.
The general base price for cal
anime carrying 49 per cent metal:
lie zinc was S39. There is NOT q
great deal of this ore being sold,
and, from indications, it seems
that a decrease in the output OF
calamine will be noted for the
year,

A New Deal.
Baxter Gas Company Offers Ex
traOrdinary inducements for
New Business.

Company will run the service and
hang the meter free for people
who desire to burn their popular
fuel, gas. This is something out
of the ordinary, for usually; the
consumer must. pay for putting
in the service line from the curb
to the meter loop. But in order
to get new bushes, and get It
right away, the company has
made this extraordinary conces-
sion. I
This means that the only 'ex-
pense the consumer will be put
to will be the piping of his house,
which can be done very cheaply.
Gas is the modern fuel, and
people who use it would not do
without it for any other sort of
fuel. With gas for fuel there is
no kindling wood to chop, no
ashes to carry out, no coal or
wood to carry in, and no smoke
or SCOT to muss up things. Simply
light a match, turn on the gas
and you have a fire. It is clean,
economical, healthfui and con-
venient.
With wood or coal, your house
is either too hot or too cool, with
gas you can have an, even tenn.
perature, for gas fire is peg
ging along with the same energy
all the time, and in a very few
moments you can have your house
warm, and it will stay that way.
With gas the housewife can
get a meal in half the time she
can with any other kind of a fire.
With gas you have heat right
now-juSt as soon as you light
it, and no waits for heat to get
things going. Apply your gas
fire directly to whatever you
please, and you get results right
away without smoke or SCOT.
We don't know of another gas
company in the country that has
ever made such a concession, and
if you fail to take advantage of
this offer you will regret it. The
offer is only good for sixty days.
Have your house plumbed right
away. Do it now, and notify the
company to run your service and
hang your meter while this work
can be done for you simply TOR
the asking.
If you have a house for rent,
have it plumbed while you can
get the benefit of this concession.
The Baxter Gas Company is go
ing to make a lot of extensions
of mains right away. Get in on
the ground floor.
1t is the best proposition you
will ever get. Remember, the
company puts the aerviGe up to
your house. All you have to do
is pipe your house.
And best of all, the Baxter
Gas Company has the gas. You
remember last winter when towns
on the lines of the other gas COM
panies very Rearly froze to death,
Baxter Springs has plenty OF
gas. The supply of this com'
pany is from the QuapSw, Gas
Company which has more gas
than it knows what to do with.
True, the QuaRaw company sells
to the Baxter company, bat the
fact that the Quapaw company
has lots OF gas means the Baxter
company will never be out of the
product. The Qnapaw companya
in addition to the wells it is now
taking gas from, haswells capped
which have q capacity of one
hundred and fifty million feet.
Do Il now. =.
