Calena Bunch Still Obstinate.

No agreement was reached
Tuesday night between the
officials of Southwest Missouri
railroad and the Galena business
men, when they met to try to
settle the franchise question.
The city of Galena is divided on
the question but a strongly or.
ganized faction is fighting hard
to compel the Mr.. Rogers to run
his cars from Joplin to Baxter
around by the way of Seventh
street, and this Mr.. Rogers firm
" opposes, although he does
offer to 60 half way and run
half the cars that way. The
matter was still left opou, how
ever, with the hope of finally
getting the two sides together
The proposition will likely
finally be submitted to a vote of
the citizens of Galena.

A. B. Thomas, of the Thomas
Fruit company, is one Of the
wealthy men of Joplin to give
tangible evidence Of his faith inthe
future Of Baxter Springs.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Thomas
passed through Baxter on his way
to Miami where he was arranging
to put in q distributing branch
for his immense wholesale fruit
and produce business.
He called on his cousin, j. W.
Gratham. Before he left town
Mr.. Grantham convinced his
guest that Baxter Springs was
the town where he should make
his permanent location mot
Miami for Baxter is surely the
Gateway City to the big new
mining district. Grantham prov
ed his claim by facts and figures,
too, for Thomas is man who
has to be shown.
Before he left Baxter Mr..
Thomas negotiated for the pur-
chase of a vacant corner on Mill
tary street, the corner south Of
the Zelliken corner. Last week
he was in town and made the
statement that as soon as the
weather would permit he would
begin the construction Of a fire
proof brick basiness block on his
corner, so K 142 feet and two
stories tall. The lower floor has
been spoken for by an automobile
concern. The upper floor will be
laid out for offices. The Thomas
Fruit compay has a lease on the
corner south of the Baxter Ma
tional Bank, which serves for the
present as a fruit and produce
warehouse.

Attention, Farmers.

With the approach of the meet
ing of the legislature the ques-
ton of the location of branch
of the Kansas Experimental Sta
ton in Southeastern Kansas, is
being agitated. Previous efforts
have been local in character with
the result that this section of the
state is still suffering for lack Of
the information which can only
be secured as the result of expert
mental work.
The present plan is to enlist
the support of the entire South
eastern Kansas district for the
the passage of a bill establishing
such a station in this part of the
state, the exact location to be
left to the station authorities.
should secure the endorsement Of
the entire community and this in
turn will insure the passage OF
the law.
The station wherever located
would prove of very great benefit
to the entire Southeastern Kan
sas district. Petitions are being
ing prepared. You are urged to
do your part in this movement
by signing and helping to circu-
late the same when presented to

man wanted because the picture
resembled him and besides ne had
a letter from Buffalo, N. Y, IN
his pocket. The New York
police department wired to hold
the man and a detective would
be sent to identify him. The de-
tective came Friday and only had
to give Morrison a "once over
to decid that he was not the
man wanted in New York. The
letter Welby had in his pocket
was from his brother, c. s.
Morrison, who is living in Buffalo.
The ambition of the Galena police
put Morrison in a very unpleas-
ant situation and it can easily be
imagined that the incident was
the cause of much anxiety to his
friends and relatives. However
no one in Baxter, who knew
Welby, gave the slightest cred
ence to the suspicion held by the
Galena police. When the arrest
was made some newspapers made
a big flash out of the story, CIV

SPEEDY. RECORD

Record time was made by the new
deputy county attorney, William j.
Sheldon. who took Senator Charles i.
Chillingwcrth's place in the police
court for the first time today. when
he opened court, disposed of IL cases
and closed the morning session in Just
Is minutes.
Eafliff Joe Nobriga, who has seen
many sessions in action, declares il
is the best time made yet for so many
cases. Only four cases were con-
tinued. &c.,.
MY policy win be few continu-
ances, declared Sheldon after court.
"of course, ! realize from consider
able work, done here at the defending
bench that it is often impossible to
go to trial with case the first time
il is called, especially when counsel is
retained in court by defendants, and
upon suitable reasons ] shall always
recommend one continuance when re-
quested and ! think this will be
granted by Judge MonsafTat."
Sheldon states also that he fayors
quick disposition of cases, but
would rather grant a little longer post
ponement in some cases rather than to
have them continually appearing on
the police calendar.
