A New Deal.

Beginning on the first of this
month, the Frisco put on a new
deal at all the principle stations
along its lines. Beginning with
that date the local agent is en-
powered to settle claims of all
kinds originating within the
jurisdiction of the local Offices.
The agent is also given time to
mingle with the people and as
certain the opinions of the peo-
pie as to the betterment of things
in the way of railroad matters.
Mr.. Vincent, the local agent,
is Just the sort of a mar for this
kind of work. He has been given
the authority above mentioned,
and in addition has been given a
cashier at the local Office to help
with the work. The cashier is
Mr.. Ed. Weddell, who has been
in the Office a long time as tele-
graph operator, which position
he still holds, in addition to the
duties of cashier.
Mr.. Vincent proposes to mingle
with the people as much as pos
sible, and he also intends to take
as much interest in good roads
movements and other things
which will benefit both the rail-
road and Baxter Springs as he
can.
The new idea is a good one,
and the Frisco made a wise move
when it inaugurated the deal.

Bows and Matches.

Small boys and matches started
what might have been a bad fire
last Monday afternoon, when
they set fire to some hay in the
feed barn of Roper & Son, on
River street. The alarm was
sounded, and the department
made a good run, but the hay.
which was in bales, was all got
ten out by the time the fire en-
gine reached the scene.
Situated as it was, if the fire
had gotten beyond control, 1t
would have worked great havoc
in the block just across the alley.

40 Gallons Grabbed.

Ed. Allen, a deputy sheriff
down in our sister county OF
Ottawa county, Oklahoma, made
quite a capture on Wednesday of
last week, when he captured an
automobile in which were some
trunks which contained eight
five-gallon kegs of whiskey. The
trunks were from Joplin, and Ed.
had his suspicious aroused, when
he found the trunks were bound
for Quapaw. He made up his
mind that Legitimate trunks
would come .byStrain in the u .
ual manner. And we understand
it is not the first time trunks
from Joplin had gone to Quapaw
by automobile. From Quapaw
the trunks would be sent on to
other points in Oklahoma. AT
any rate, Ed. lay in wait for the
driver of the automobile, and
when he appeared in Lincoln.
vile, en- route to Quapaw, he
gathered him in. The United
States grand jury, in session at
Vinita, will attend to the fell
lows case, and he will no doubt
have plenty of time to mediate
upon the old saying that the
way of the transgressor is hard. I"

School District No. 80, known
as Grace Hill school, is to have
a new school building. 1t will
be built of concrete, and will be
% x 40. A notice for bids will
be found elsewhere in this paper.
A concrete school building will
be rather hard for the boys to
try their pocket knives on. And
if concrete desks could be put in
the rout of the boys would be
complete. 1t is as natural for a
boy to try his knife on something
as it is for a duck to hunt a mud
puddle.

His Speedwell is as good a car as

it, and besides he says it is too
heavy a car to use in hunting

of the Ford.

: We would like to know why
the fly traps which were in use
last year are not doing service
this year. The fly crop was cut
very short last year, and if a lot
of traps were put into use again
the fly crop would be verv mate
rally reduced. Up to this time
onIy three or four traps are in
use ia the business section of the
town. True, the fly crop seems
70 be short this year, but #
traps are not used the crop will
be plenty big before long. Set
out the traps. DO it now.
