The new military company is de-
veloping nicely. About so were out for
drill Tuesday night and went at the
work with enthusiasm and an intelli-
gence that insures speedy proficiency.
Now that it has been decided to or
ganize for entrance into the new ma
tional guard of the state, instead of
organization as home guards, some
change is necessary in the entrance
requirements. Registered draft men
will have to be eliminated, also men
over 45 and men who cannot pass
reasonable physical examination. This
has reduced the present list of elig-
able men to about 60 and Capt. Hiatt
wants 40 more men between the ages
of IS and as who are not selective
draft registrants.

VANDALISM AT LIBRARY

The Library hall, within the past
few weeks, has been damaged to c
considerable extent and Uttered W
repeatedly by boys who have forced
an entrance and made a more or less
disreputable rendezvous of the place
at times when the library beneath
has been closed. The walls and WOOD
work have been disfgured and it is
plain that these vandals have used the
place for smoking therbey taking the
chances of setting the place on fire
The matter has been laid before the
city council and Marshal Horton has
been instructed to arrest and bring
into court any person discovered in
the hall or entering it without auth
ority. The Daily Citizen is surprised
that any boy should SO far forget
himself as to destroy property OF
whatever kind. It would seem that
every boy would be glad to have in
a town SO nice a place as the library
in which to hold entertainments and
meetings. It is presumed that the
misconduct so far has been due to
thoughtlessness rather than malicious
mischievousness and that the practice
will be discontinued at once. II not
some young people are sure to land in
the police court, for even now some
of the guilty ones are known.

MERCHANTS MAY
Be OUT MONEY
MANY SCHEMES TO DE-
FRAUD MERCHANTS OF
THIS SECTION
WAS THE WOMAN A FRAUD?
Better to Verify All of These
Schemes Before Putting Up
Any Money, Says the
Wise Ones

The merchants of Baxter Springs
some of them, at least-are not en-
tirely satisfied on the question of
whether or not they were victimized
during the past week when woman
stranger in the city, collected two
dollars each from the business men on
the representation that she was lined
up here with the Red Cross workers
and the Baptist church ladies in q
plan to raise money for the Red Cross
and also for the organization Of a
Junior Red Cross in the city. 1t is
understood that she collected approx
mately $50 in cold cash.. Several mer-
chants attempted to hold up checks
that had been given the woman, but
the banks informed them the checks
were already cashed.
In several localities in this state
there is a fellow working as q solicit
or compiling a list in each town OF
the men who have gone into the SER
vice with their present location and
other material. His scheme is to so
licit an advertisement, stating the
books are to be given to the Red
Cross which sells them for 10c each.
E In other towns, near Baxter, there
is a fellow who comes to town and
prepares a directory containing the
city officials, Chamber of Commerce
directors and officers, railroad fares
to different towns, the auto roads in
the locality and q calendar for 1913.
This directory is sold to the mer-
chants at SC each, the merchant gives

JO|NER's BUSINESS COL
LEGE IN LARGER QUARTERS
Leases Old High School In JOp.
lin and Will Take Possession
This Week-Other In
formation

w. B. Joiner, proprietor of Joiner's
Business College, closed a deal Mon
day night with the Joplin board OF
education whereby he will lease the
old high school building at Fourth
street and Byers avenue and use as
new quarters for his institution,
which now is located in the Miners
bank building. Announcement of the
leasing of the building was made last
night by Mr.. Joiner, following a spec
ial session of the board.
Joiner announced that he will move
his institution Friday and Saturday
and will open in the new quarters
Monday. After the present term is
finished next week he will begin his
summer school Monday, May 81.
Vacated Last January
The building was occupied up I'M
til last January by the Joplin high
school. When the new high school
building was finished the old build
ing was abandoned for school pur-
poses. Negotiations have been I'M
der way for several weeks between
Joiner and the board of education for
either the purchase of the building
or for leasing it.
Some work of renovating will be
done now and the office will be re-
modelled. Other improvements are
planned later. Joiner says his
school has outgrown its present
quarters aid that he had to obtain
more room to take care Of the stu
dents. Since last September 1893 stu
dents have been enrolled.
When the move to the new build
ing is COMPLETED two new depart
ments will be added. One of these
will be a preparatory department
and the OIL er will be a department
of telegraphy.
Members Of the board Of education
unanimously ratified the deal and
promised cooperation to Mr.. Joiner.

town a solicitor received $1S4.50 for
10 ads, and the promoter got $177.50
and the name of one Of the churches
was used to work the scheme without
authority.
And still there is another. This is
being worked among the Jews only.
He claims to be representing a Jew
ish newspaper, but he has no creden-
tials and the Jews have declared his
scheme is without advertising value.
If Baxter Springs merchants will call
phone 210 when any advertising pro-
position is presented they will save
much money for themselves.

CONFESSED TO COLUMBUS
Oh FTCERS He WANTED
MONEY
N JAIL UP At COLUMBUS
Gave Him 60 Days for Carrying
a Gun Until Evidence Of
Other More Serious Crimes
Can Be Collected

Columbus, Kas., May Nv. M
Duncan, who Is charged with having
committed a dozen violations Of thu
Kansas and Oklahoma law during the
past several days, was given a hear
ing in the Baxter Springs Jail yes
terday afternoon upon the charge Of
carrying concealed weapons. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenced tt
serve go days in the county Jail.
Not knowing what to do with
case that presented 80 many angles
and not knowing whether the govern
ment or the county should prosecute
the case this charge was PLACED
against the prisoner to give the OIL
GERS time to ascertain what DISPOSE
ton to make Of the case.
Columbus officers think Duncan vii
be turned over to the federal author
tiles before the expiration of his sen
tence ut Columbus. The gun he wa
carrying cooked and loaded ut TIM
of his arrest was one he had borrow
ed from a Pitcher officer to protec'
himself in making his raids.
One of the two bogus ten dolla'
bills he had the day before he wa
arrested is missing and it is though
he must have passed one on someone
Hockerville officers have learned tina
Duncan gave taxi drivers and severa
persons presents Of jack knives ant
several articles which he must have
picked up on his raids. A good raiI
coat, which the Hockerville deput!
says he must have frightened some
one out of, was found among the ef'
fects captured.
As one officer says Duncan hat
keys enough to unlock anything If
the country.
There is another little story con
nected with Duncan's demise from
this city. 1t seems that Mr.. Nolan
who was staying at the Empire hotc
and paying court to lady OF thu
same place, had some dealing with
Duncan. Duncan had told Nolan O
his $40 bill trick and it is not knwor
whether Nolan "fell" for anything
that would put him in Duncan's power
or not. But there was something
about the girl who was with Duncan
and is now in the county Jail, that LEI
to words between Nolan and Duncan
Duncan then accused Nolan, who is
travelling man and had been here sci
ling some sort of check machines, o
pulling the ten dollar bill stunt o.
him (Duncan). Duncan then display
ing his U. S. badge told Nolan he wa
going to have him arrested and was
going to Charlie Smith, the U. S. Of
fcer here, to do it. what he reall!
went to Charlie Smith for was to tr!
to borrow $780, Nolan's lady frient
was very much worried about his
safety and went to some Of hei
friends to expedite NOlan's getaway
The friends tried to tell her that Dun
can was fake and the officers wer
after him, but Nolan left town post
haste. Mr.. Nolan had nothing to dc
with any of Duncan's schemes ant
merely left in a hurry to avoid an!
publicity, or his name being mixed
up with the women.
