SYNOPSIS

IS SYNOPSIS A7
At Mary's trial she admits she
had the revolver. Pollock had
invaded her dressing room at the
theatre, Langdon had come to
her rescue. the revolver had been
knocked from Pollocll's hand and
Mary had seized and retained it.
She had put it in her hand bag
the night of the murder intend
ing giving it to Langdon.
Her maid testifes that Mary
threatened Pollock with it pre-
viously. and Mary's lending man
duplicates Langdon.
How Mary disappeared from
the scene Of the crime is mys-
terry. Brandon tells of a strange
hand print he saw on Mary's
shoulder.
Further evidence shows that
horror of drink produces tempo
rary insanity in Mary.
The defense is ''repressed psy-

COst-0f Sewers.

C. M. Cooper, county surveyor
and city engineer Of Columbus,
was In the city Monday. Mr.
Cooper is 4 candidate for reelec-
tiou as county surveyor and
called at the News Office to order
his card inserted In the paper.
While here the editor took occas-
lon to pump" him for 4 little free
information regarding the cost Of
q sewer system in Baxter. Mr.
Cooper volunteered an off hand
estimate of $35,000 as the total
cost of 4 first class sewer service
to cover the central part of town
and serve perhaps one-third Of
the population. This would In.
clude the disposal plant which
the Law now requires and which
would make up a large part Of
the total cost. This would run
between $4,000 and $4,000 de-
pending upon the nearness Of
suitable mai al such a. gravel,
etc. II wou also include the
main sewer aiding through the
district, another $4,000 Mr..
Cooper thought ought to put
sewers practically all over the
city. It would not be a. expen-
sive as In many places because Of
the good drainage which would
permit the use of much smaller
pipe. In most cities Mr.. Cooper
says the city bonds itself for the
money with which to build the
disposal plant, which 10 built out
of the general fund and the cost
of mains 10 assessed to property
benefited and payments are
strung out over a period usually
of twenty years, which makes the
payments very easy.
The News has had 4 good deal
to say In favor of sewers. This
improvement must be made before
Baxter will enjoy any consider
able growth, because people like.
ly to come here nearly sll insist
on living Ia q town affording
modern couvenlences and good
sanitation. -
Practically all leading property
owners favor sewers il and we
understand the city council is
favorable. What. then, 10 to
hinder making 4 start?

A new steel FIRE escape has
been installed BY the city council
on the library building. II 10 not
q thing of beauty and by no means
4 Joy forever to our librarisn who
objects to having the light shut
out from the window nearest the
reading table, nor does its con-
spicuousuess meet the approval
of the artistic eye of some Of the
lady patrons who feel that the
thing" should have been placed
at the back end Of the building
where it belonged" and where
some say the law says II must be
erected. Nevertheless the new
FIRE escape complies with the
state law as far as furnishing
adequate exit In case of FIRE 10
concerned, and for that We all
should be thankful, for In the
second story of. the library build
ing is a fine little hall, seating
about 300 and fitted up with q
stage. Because of the lack Of q
FIRE escape II was condemned for
public meetings some time ago
and has since been idle. Now Il
Is available for entertainments
and The News hopes it will be
used frequently during the winter
season. Preparations ought to
begin now for some home talent
shows and musical programs.
Baxter has the talent, some en-
terprising young folks to make
the start is all that Is needed.
Why not organize = dramatic
club and stage two or three plays
through the winter. A few good
lectures could be made to pay.
The community life of Baxter
needs such entertainments and
since we have . very suitable
hall, why not have them. We
can't get along altogether on
picture shows.

has avoided making agreements
with any of them, holding to the
belief that as soon as practicable
Mr.. Rogers would give us the
railroad line so badly needed, and
that too without exacting tribute
from the city. It is now proven
that the council acted wisely.
Mr.. Rogers word is as good as
| his bond and hisN bond would be
good for any amount.
Baxter's future 10 now assured.
We soon shall have an interurban
lire of the first class, adequately
financed and oficered BY high
class men.
We have heard knockers (every
little town has them) complain
that an interurbau line would
hurt Baxter.
Within the past two months
Mr.. Rogers and his associates
have invested close to $50. 900 in
Baxter business property. He
knows what will happen to
Baxter, and if the coming of the
railroad meant anything but
prosperity does any one suppose
he would take on such large in
vestments here.

The extension of the Southwest
Missouri Interurban railway from
Galena to Baxter Springs has
been authorized.
This information was given
out Tuesday by A. H. Rogers,
president of the company, while
In Baxter Springs in company
with a party of officials composed
of e. ]. Spratt, superintendent
and T. A. Earbaugh, director.
In the party also were William
Hand, of Kansas City, district
manager of the General Electric
company, his engineer, M. M.
Boggess and A. A. Tracon, presi.
dent of the Midland Bridge com.
pany, of Kansas City.
Mr.. Rogers stated that work
on the extension would begin
forthwith and he hoped to have
the cars running to Baxter
Springs within eight months.
Asked regarding the further
extension of the line from Baxter
through the mining towns south
of us. Mr.. Rogers stated that
the big problem was to build
from Galena to Baxter including
the bridge across the river. From
Baxter south and west would be
an easy matter. He left 1t for
one to draw his own conclusion
that once here the line would 60
right on to the mining district.
A remarkable feature of the
announcement from Mr.. Rogers
is that there are no strings at
tached. His company asks for
no bonuses whatever from any of
the towns. He will simply ask
for franchises and the good will
Of the public in the matter of
securing right of way, etc.
Several different propositions
have been presented to this city
by prospective railroad companies
and promoters but our council
