Arson is Charged.

Week before last the News
made mention of FIRE out at
Fred Wilbur's which burned a
house belonging to Fred and
household goods belonging to
Pat Whitaker. Now Whitaker
is charged with arson. 1t is al
legged that his household goods
were not burned, but that he col
lected $3.50 anyway from the in
surance company. We clip the
following from the Joplin Globe
of April S:
*. P. Whitaker, wanted at
Baxter Springs, Kan, on suspi.
cion of having set fire on March
is, to a house owned by Fred
Wilbur, was taken from Frisco
passenger train No. 8 here last
night by Police Sergeant John
Ginsler. He will be taken to
Baxter Springs this morning.
1.-THE house was situated near
the state line, eight miles south
west of Baxter, and was occupied
by Whitaker, who was employed
by Wilbur. Whitaker had $3.50
insurance on furniture owned by
him, which was destroyed in the
flames. Wilbur had an equal
amount of insurance on the house,
1T is said that Whitaker re-
ceived his insurance money yes
terday and was preparing to
meet his wife in Rogersville,
No., when intercepted here. He
had STAT when arrested"
Later-Whitaker was released
the fore part of the week, the
officials not believing the evil
dence would warrant holding him.

Must Clean Up.

We want to sound a note OF
warning to some parents in this
town. They may not know it,
but we can hardly see how they
can be so blind as to not see it,
but there is a small bunch OF
human vultures in Baxter that
are preying on a part OF the
Rirlhood of the town.
Some of the bunch is uneasy
now, and some of them have left
town. Others are getting ready
to go, and there will be vacant
chairs at some tables.
We want to urge parent to
look more carefully after their
daughters in future, for the News
is not going to be mealy mouthed
about this matter. It has sounded
a note of warning, and it must
be needed. We will give one
week for a change to take place
for the better, and if there is not
a marked improvement in the
actions of some people a palmer
statement of the facts will be
made.
And there is another class of
pirates who must clear out.
We want the good people OF
the town, orr few of them, to
join rs in making a cleanup. II

Zinc sulphide ores ranged in
price from $3s to $44, assay basis
of so per cent metallic zinc, per
ton, last, week, with lots carry
ing as high as g per cent metal
lie zinc, commanding a settle
meut of SAT. The general tone
of the market was So weaker
than for the previous week. The
extra choice lots found a good
demand at $42 to $44 basis. 1t
was only the second grades that
brought as low as $3S and COM
paratively little was sold at this
figure, the bulk going for $40 or
better.
The demand for the choice lots
showed a disposition to be weak
er last week, in comparison with
previous offerings, than was the
demand for second grades. The
latter, while weak enough, did
not show as great a depression
as was looked for, and, in many
instances, the actual settlement
was better than for the previous
week.
The decline in spelter to S5.75
has had a..tendency to bear the
offerings for ore. Stronger met
al markets may be looked for,
however.
The price for calamine was $40
a ton, assay basis of 40 per cent
metallic zinc, with choicer lots
bringing as high as $40.
Lead ore brought $3.50 per
ton. The pig lead market was
unchanged at $4.225.
