The editor of the News has
been laid up for the past five
fweeks with very bad -case of
muscular rheumatism, and per
haps the Nsws has not been up
to its usual standard of excel-
fence, However, the boys in the
ofllce hare fame Ffry weV.ai?& at
any rate they have done as 'jyejj
as could be expected. .We cer
tainly appreciate their efforts,
any way. In addition to getting
out the paper they have handled
a big lot of job work. It will be
some time, perhaps, before we
will be able to do very much
work in the omce, but it is our
hope and expectation to be in
the office in a very few days to
superintend and do what we can
to' help the work along. Our
trouble has settled in the right
hand and wrist, and it will .no
doubt be some little time before
we get rid of the affliction en
tirely. Many of our friends,
both ladies and gentlemen, have
called during our indisposition,
and in this way have helped to
dispel the gloom and make the
days seem shorter.' Tun Editok
The wheat looks better now
than ever before at - this time of
the. year. It came "' up thick,
growed' nicely, stooled out well,

Dsst In the Country.
Baxter Springs has long had'
tbe best water works system and
the best telephone exchange also,
and in a short time will be poss
essed of the very best electric
light plant. For some time it
has been' very apparent that the
load was entirely too big for the
engine which has been running
the plant, so the owner, Dr. C.
M. Jones, bought a big 150 horse
power Corliss engine to relieve
the burden. " This huge engine
is now being installed, and with
in ten days or two weeks it will
be in commission grinding out
the "juice" for lights.' It seems
a little tough for the residence
section of the city to not have
lights, but when the new ma
chinery is in running order the
lights will be so much better
that we will be glad we were in
the darkness, so to speak, for a
few nights.
Municipal improvements in
Baxter Springs are of a high
class, and the public service com'
paniesare not one whit behind
in point of service rendered.
Thanksgiving Dinner.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bower,
livinsr six and one half miles
north of Baxter Springs gave
Thanksgiving dinner for their
children and grand children, and
a fine time was had. Those pres
ent were: Mr. and Mrs. Wil
Wright and children, Glenn,
Charley,. Rosey and Gerty, o
Weir. Mrs. Louis bnoultz and
children, Sebe, John, Sam, Delia
Hester and Gladys, of Neutral
Mr. and Mrs. .James Jtsarr and
children.- Beatrice. Glenn and
Myra of Blue Mound; and Mrs
Scott Jarrett and children, Ber
tha. Jenny and Henry of Blue
Mound.
About 11:30 the table fairly
groaned under its load of good
things to eat, which consisted o
turkey, pi?, cake, ifuits oi var
ious kinds, sauces of all - sorts,
bread', butter, jellies, pickles,
preserves, and many other things
which is proof of the, successfu
farmer of Sunny Kansas. At
12:30 the guests had relieved the
table of considerable of its load.
The afternoon was spent with
game of base ball by the young
people, while the older ones that
didn't care to settle their dinners
that -way enjoyed themselves
looking on. ,

We neglected to mention last
week the marriage of Miss Ade
laide Cox, daughter of Mrs. S.
W. Etter of this city, to Mr. W.
C. Collins of Chicago. The bride
has a lot of friends in this city,
who wish her much happiness.
The groom is a business man of
Chicago, handling real estate,
and he is also interested in tbe
mines of the Baxter camp. The
marriage ceremony was perform
ed at Crown Point, Ind., but the
. .a a-
couple will make their nome in
Chicago. !
The good prices being received
for zinc ore these days, coupled
with the scarcity of men to work
in the mines, causes a sort o:
feverish unrest among the opera
tors. They want to get the big
prices for their ores, but the un
certainty of having men . enough
to get the dirt out of the ground
and mill it is causing a continn
al unrest.
The weather the people of this
section of country have been en
joying this fall could not be
beaten. It has been warm, and
clear at least half of the time,
and overcoats have not been
reallv necessary. True, it has
been a little tough on the cloth
ing men, but there are others.
The meetings at the M. E.
church have been quite well at
tended, and considerable interest
has been manifested. Rev. Mason
of Galena, who has been leading
in the work, is a vere forcefu
speaker, and he has made some
hare drives toward the devil's
bulwark. "
The Brotherhood is fortunate
in securing the services of Rev.
Sam'l P. Garvin to lecture at the
Methodist church next Monday
night. It is free to men, and
every man in town and vicinity
should hear him.
