WEDNESDAY.
The ex-Prisoners of War held
their annual meeting at the audi
torium this morning, and at the
close of their session music by
the Baxter band opened the exer
cises of the day.
" The annual meeting of the of
ficers of the Inter-State Reunion
Association was then held and
was notable from the large num
berof stockholders in attendee.
. The address of Judge C. A.
McNeill in placing the old boat d
of directors of the Inter-State Re
union Association in nomination
was noteworthy in every particu
lar. He reviewed the history o
the association from its first con
ception twenty-five years ago to
the present time, when its visit
ors were counted only by tens un
til now by the thonsands. The
judge has ever been a patriotic
visitor, and the officers of the as
sociation appreciate his kind
"words and loyal sentiment.
The platform was then turned
over to the W. R. C. and W. C.
T. U., with Mrs. Scovell of Gale
na, presiding. A cordial welcome
was extended the visitors by the
Baxter Corps through their rep
resentative, Mrs. Bryan.
Miss Mary E. Dobbs, president
of 3rd district W. C. T. U. was
chief speaker, and her remarks
were well chosen, and fully ap
preciated.
An old confederate said: We
used to think uou was on our
side. We had Lee and Jackson,
and Wheeler and Jube Early; we
also had that divine institution
African slaver', also Dixie and
the Bonnie Blue Flag, and after
Bull Run we were sure God was
with us. Our preachers said we
were right and everything seemed
to be in our favor, but towards
the close, as things went the
other way, we had our doubts,
and now after looking over this
grand reunion of grand old
with the beautiful weatH' Aen,
iY and
your magnificent gr- , .
happy people, V v
realixe that - .ous Peopte, 1
raistaker' -e must have been

."f ,e side of the Union, and is
iTILI. WITH YOU."
Among those from Columbus
today were, A. S. McNay, super
intendent of water works; Mayor
W; T. Forkner, Marshal Edw'd
Wellington, J. C. Broadley and
wife, Editor Mitchell and family
of the Advocate; Editor Lowery
and wife of Modern Light; Atty.
S. L. Walker, J. C. Broadley and
wife.
If there is one comrade, or
more, here who took part in the
Qnantrell Massacre, Comrade
Arnold would be pleased to meet
themJ Remember that belong
ing to a company does not entitle
a comrade to claim or go so far
as to say he took part and was
cne who in his own estimation
und imagination, did so much.
There is not another survivor of
the massacre on the reunion

W. M. Beth of Fulton, Kansas
was on the grounds yesterday
and met many old friends. He
does not claim to be a survivor
of the Baxter massacre, but did
help to bury the poor unfortun
ates who fell at that time. Mr.
Beth is the father of the Beth
boys who are farming in the
vicinity of Quapaw, south of
Baxter, and is a pleasant gentle
man to meet
Ex-Senator Harris of Chicago

He was cordially invited but
could not leave home this time.
"We shall meet but we shall

SLUGGED WITH A ROCK.
A man named Garrett from
Tulsa, I. T., was hit on the head
with a rock Monday night while
endeavoring to quell a disturb
ance, and now lies in a precari
ous condition. The skull was
fractured and brain oozed out.
Dr. Boswell took charge of Gar
rett, and at present thinks his
ch&nces slim. The man who com
mitted the assault is known, but
as yet is at large.
John West of Spavinaw, I. T.,
is here with a party of Chero
kees. - John has a warm spot in
the hearts of the Baxter sports,
who visit his section of country
every year hunting and fishing,
and it is said John furnishes the
most of the fresh meat.
One week in Camp Logan does
an old soldier more real good
than all the physic in a drug
store. It puts new life in him,
stirs up his liver and starts his
blood to circulate. The songs,
music and speeches of Camp Lo
gan would almost bring a dead
man to life.
