The Chautauqua.

When the Chautauqua was
first proposed for Baxter Springs
Il was with the idea that people
would be able to have entertain
ment and hear lectures that most
of them would not in any other
way be able to enjoy. And II
was in the hope that most of our
farmer friends would avail them
selves of the chance to partici-
pate in the meetings and hear
the best talent that could be Sc
cured.
Last year quite a number from
the country enjoyed the meetings
and we hope that this year many
more will take advantage of this
opportunity that is put before
them to hear the lectures, and
enjoy the music and other forms
of entertainment which will be
provided.
The season ticket way is the
cheapest and most satisfactory.
Adult season tickets are for sale
at 81 each, and children's season
tickets may be secured for 81
each. They can be secured from
most of the best people in town.
Or Geo. E. Rucker can furnish
them.
The Chautauqua is a good
thing for any community, and
the man, woman or child who
does not take advantage of the
opportunity offered to secure
good, clean, wholesome enter
tainment is making a big mis-
take. II will be educational, ele-
vatiug, helpful.

Wheat Burned.

Frank Pierce, living out on
the Henshaw farm, north of town,
lost lot of his wheat last Satur-
day, the fire starting from an
engine Oh the FRISCO, OF course
he will not have the trouble of
thrashing that wheat, and the
Frisco will have to settle the
damage, but Frank would have
rather thrashed 1t, to see how
much 1t would make. 1t was ex-
ira nice wheat.

New York, Nov. 4:-Swept from
his seat in the state house by an
avalanche of Republican votes, Gov
ernor Martin w. Glynn yesterday
headed a review of defeated Demo-
cratic state candidates in one of the
greatest Republican landslides In late
history in the state. Not only was
Charles S. Whitman elected governor
on the Republican ticket by a plurali-
ty of from 100000 to 100000, but
indications at late hour point to the
election of James w. Wadsworth, Jr.,
over James w. Gerard by big ma
jority. So enormous was Whitman s
majority that practically all of the
other Republican candidates followed
in his footsteps. In striking con-
trast to the Republican victory was
the showing of the Progressive party.
At late hour last night, the Brook
lyn Eagle declared that Davenport,
the Progressive candidate for COVER
nor, would poll but 100000 votes in
the state, figure which Is conceded
the minimum of the successful Re-
publican candidates plurality.
The New York polls closed at 5
o'clock. At 1880 o'clock, Whitman
plurality of 100000 was generally
conceded. The Republican state COM
mittee claims an overwhelming ma
iority in both houses of the state leg
islature and also that it will control
the constitutional convention by a
substantial majority.
Glynn carried Richmond county by
about 1900 votes. Whitman car
ried the two districts in Tottenville.
c. Livingston Bostwick, running
as the Democratic and independence
League candidate, was reelected to
the office of county clerk by ma
iority of 1000. Stephen S. Ste
phens, of New Brighton, was the
successful candidate for assembly
defeating George A Wood, of Prince
Bay, by about 200. James A.
Laing, of Tottenville, made good
run for this office as the Progressive
candidate.
George A. Cromwell, Richmond s
