Baxterite Suicide.

After taking an ounce of lye
mixed in water Saturday morn
ing, Mrs. Dollie Turner, a negro
woman, SO years old, died at 4
o'clock Monday morning. The
lye is thought to have been taken
with suicidal intent, says the
Joplin News Herald.
Mrs Turner lived in Baxter
Springs and was visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Fannie Jones,
1905 Byers avenue. She arrived
at her daughters home Friday
evening, and although she COM
planned of not feeling we'll, moth
ing peculiar was noticed in her
actions. Saturday morning her
daughter heard her fall in her
room, and upon investigation
found that she had taken about
an ounce of lye. Medical aid was
summoned, but nothing could be
done.

Churches to Scrap.

During Chautauqua week th'
churches of Columbus and Miam
are going to scrap in Baxter
Springs. But the scraps will b'
of an entertaining nature, and i
is hoped nobody will be seriously
hurt.
On Thursday evening at five
o'clock at Athletic park, the Pres
byterians of Columbus and Miami
will play ball. And they do say
that the churches of those two
towns have some ball teams
TEey play regularly, and hG 'e
good games.
The first game will be as stated,
on Thursday, at five o'clock. The
next game will be on Friday, be-
tween the Methodists of Colum.
bus and Miami.
Next week on. Tuesday the
Baptists of those two towns will
cross bats, lock horns, or what
ever you may please to term it.
Both of these teams agree that
immersion is necessary, and will
probably immerse after the game
is over.
On Wednesday the Christians,
or Campbellites, will play. They,
too, believe in going clear under,
but just which team will 60 un-
der will depend largely on the
umpire.
The games will be interesting,
for it is no joke game. The
churches have been playing ball
all spring and so far this summer,
and have developed some good
plapers.
The aggregation is known as
the Twilight League. Professor
Floyd of Miami is manager OF
the church teams from that place,
while Prof. Catlett looks after
the destinies of the followers of
the sky pilots from Columbus.
Every game will be a good one,
and every game should be we'll

The Mines.

Drilling is still being prosecu'
ted on the Wilbur land, and every
hole means a strike. The ore on
this land is found at the sam e
level in all the drill holes. Mr..
]. M. Haynes, who is doing the
drilling, tells US he has been in
the drilling business for eigh teen
years, and in that time he has
drilled all over the Webb City
and Joplin districts, but the best
strikes he has ever made are on
T the Wilbur land six miles west of
Baxter Springs.
On the Chubb land the last hole
struck an opening and the drill
cuttings were all washed away.
What cuttings were saved from
the screw just above the opening
showed very rich ore. A new
hole will be put down a short
distance away.
The ground on the Barnes &
Mcconnell land is full of water
courses, but the water courses
are full of ore. 1t is very likely
that all the ground in the new
district is of that formation.
On the Goodwin land Youse
has lost two strings of tools in
ground which seems to be full
of crevices, and Kepple and
Haines, drilling on the Wilbur
land, are having the same sort OF
experience. The underground
water courses in that district are
very rich in ore.
A bunch of New York capital
lists will be here soon to look over
the new mining field west and
southwest of this 9th, and some
of them are going to become in
terested.
The Barnes & Mcconnell strike
on the Kenoyer land is being
crosscut now, although the bot
tom of the ore body has not yet
been reached in the shaft. The
ore body has been developed to a
width of more than 100 feet. Two
new shafts will be started within
a few days. Plans for the mill
are being drawn.

Young Man

When you speak short and snap
py to your mother you are in
flicting a wound that hurts worse
than a knife thrust. You may
not think you are hurting her,
but you are, and your words and
manner of speech will cause her
to lose many an hours sleep.
Your mother is the best friend
you have, and you ought to have
sense enough to know it.
When your mother is no more,
you will look back over the past
with many a paug of regret that
YOU did not try to make her path
smoother, and her days more
pleasant.
You may think you are very
smart, but many times your
smartness takes the form OF hell
ishness. Young man, honor thy
father and mother, that thy days
may be long in the land which
the Lord, thy God, hath given
thee.
Again, would it not be a good
idea to cut out some of your
rather questionable associates.
You know you can't play with
dirt without being smeared.
Try to be'a man. If this fits
You, wear it but resolve to make
= change.
