The sharp infield play, sensational
running catches and opportune hitting
with men on bases, served to keep the
crowd in a ferment of enthusiasm
throughout. Excitement at times
reached fever heat and became SO in
crowd of electrified crankS around the
coaching line kept from surging upon
the diamond. When the Blues tied
the score and forged ahead in the
eighth and storm Of applause from
the stands, the waving Of handker-
chiefs in the hands Of the fair sex in
carriages which lined the field. pandi-
monium broke loose in the ranks Of
the crdnks near the coaching lines,
hats and canes were thrown into the
air. men and boys yelling themselves
hoarse in their wild delight, recallin e
the days Of the old Maroons and the
Thirteenth street ball park.
The Medicine Lodge team is compos-
ed of ball players in every sense of the
word. Their exhibitions here being
clean and devoid Of anything attribut-
ed TO dirty ball playing. and more
gentlemanly and well disciplined ag-
gregation OF ball players never visited
Wichita. Only one incident occurred
to MARI the pleasantness Of their visit
which is very much regretted by the
home management. 1t occurred in the
ninth inning OF Sundays game. Her
berger the first man up for the BEES
lifted a high foul back OF third base
Polling who was covering the bag ran
TO capture it, and was interfered with
by Owens who was coaching. when
Axline remarked that that was nCt
the kind OF ball playing they wanted.
Owens, bat in hand. made for Axline
but was stopped by friends. Such
manifestations OF hot headedness and
dirty ball playing should not be toll
Grated and deserves the strictest disci-
pine Of the manag cement.

games ever played on the home ground

base running and excellent stick work.

been expected. Both teams put up a
good game in the field. but the Blues
outbat1ed the visitors. 10 which is due
their victory.
Charles Dixon was or the rubber

Ellis pitched for the visitors and was
effective until the seventh inning when
he let down perceptibly. Axline took
his place but Jared but little better

Dock Kelley Says the Fish have that Dis
ease and Peopie Who Eat Them will Die.

81 see there are a whole lot of dead
fish in the rivers and creeks this year
said Dock Kelley, the colored man who
drives the white horse to the transfer
wagon and who is so we'll known in
this city.
II Just want to tell you that you
couldn't get me to eat a fish for all Of
this town, Ell ehh. Not much, l am
TOO we'll posted for that,
II tell you them fish Is got the chol-
era and everybody what eats them
will have the cholera sure. l know
something about fish and cholera too, L
have been right amng them both.
4 tell you | remember way back in
1867 when they had the cholera down
in old Mississippi. There were 1S5
head OF us who went from North and
South Carolina TO pick cotton on the
big Ben Rick plantation
We'll sir. when we got down there
and went to work we noticed some
dead fish floating in the Gazoo river.
The people kept trapping the fish and
eating them and the first thing We
knew We all had the cholera and had
Il bad and only about half OF our
crowd lived 10 get back 70 their homes
IN North and South Carolina
The people down there Just kept
dying As long as they ate fish or cab
bage that was grown on ground that
was overf1owed. The people pulled all
the cabbage up in the low lands and
knrew il into the river and let il float
of and then they quit dying with the
cholera.
Now you just watch and see II those
people who eat cabbage that was oVeI-
flowed do not have cholera and people
who eat fish out Of these streams
where the fish are dying VIII have
the cholera sure.
There are a whole lot Of people
here Who think that old Dock Kelley

A special dispatch to the Eagle, as
Well also as an associated press dis
patch yesterday afternoon. announc-
ed that Governor Morrill, and Attorney
General Dawes had a conference yes
terday morning and decided not to
make any change in police commission
ers for this city. but would appoint an
assistant attorney general 70 help the
commissioners in enforcing the prohibi-
tory law
In accordance with that decree they
appointed W. P Campbell assistant at
torney general for Sedgwick county.
Campbell wired back declining the ap
pointment.
The news that no change would be
made so far as the police commission
ers were concerned was received with
general rejoicing and nine out Of every
ten men in town were pleased They
were as anxious about the matter as
they would be about a presidential
election and the result was as pleasing
as if the man Of their choice was elect

CAMPBELL HEARD FROM
Judge Campbell was seen on North
Main street last night by reporter for
the Eagle and when asked in regard
TO the report that he had been rendered
the assistant attorney generalShip for
Sedgwiok county, he said:
That is correct. | received two dis
patches from General Dawes today
rendering me the appoin dnent and I
refused TO accept unless there is a
change OF commissioners.
IF l should accept the office II would
be for the purpose Of closing the joints
and making this cityas dry s Emporia
or any other town in the state
Il could do that if l had control of
the police force but I could not do il
without their assistance and L would
not take the Office and make a failure
of il.
II am in favor Of closing the joints
even if the drug stores sold liquors.
The joints are the center of political
corruption and no good man can be
elected to an office where they are al
lowed to run-that is If il is found out
on him.
"Cf course I could accept the office
Of assistant attorney general and bring
a whole lot of cases and run the county
To expense and accomplish nothing but
if l had the police force II would be diff
ferent. I could probably make more
money out Of the office with the present
board in control but that is not my OBJ
ject.
JONES WAS MILDER.
President Jones was seen and in
formed of the situation. He said, 4
am very sorry that Judge Campbell de-
clined the appointment. I think the
commissioners would be pleased 10
serve with him. I know I would and
all treat him courteously and give him
all the assistance in our power to per-
form his duty in the interest of the
people" Mr.. Jones knew that Camp
bell had desired a change Of the board,
but yet he exhibited no hard feelings
toward him. but spoke about the mat
ter most magnaminously.

to the Eagle office to protest against

they owned that swimming hole by
right OF discovery and did not want
the girls TO monopolize IL.

Declared Guilty.

George Humley. an old colored man, was
in the Police Court this morning, charged
with assault. The complainant was a
white woman by the name of Mary Lovett,
and according to the story the occurrence
to ok place near the corner of 4th and Pome-
roY street last Saturday evening. The evil
dence showed that Sarah used TO live for
years with a colored man and still hangs
around an alley where only colored people
live.
Simon Brown, colored, testified that the
mans reputation was far better than the
woman's and that when he saw Mary Sat
urday evening she was very drunk, as she
usually is.
Mr.. John NJ Langston defended Humley,
who, he said, is his nefghbor and friend,
and a thoroughly respectable citizen. The
case occupied the attention of the court for
a considerable length of time. 1t finally be-
came necessary for Judge kimball to call
down Mr.. Langston for drawing out his
examination of the witnesses.
Humiey's story of the occurrence Gid not
tally with the claims made for him by lis
lawyer, and after about forty minutes OF
examination and cross examination, Judge
Kimban came to- the conclusion that Hum
ley was guilty, and sent him to jail for
three months.

A New Italian Stamp.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The Italian government is about to fol-
lew the example of other states, and to
mark the national festival of the entry of
the Italians into Rome by the issue of a
new Historical postage stamp" A million
copies will be ready for sale on the twenty
fifth anniversary of the liberation of Rome
in 1870 The design of the new stamp,
which was intrusted to Prof. Sezanne, is
very elaborate, and somewhat overcrowded
for it's size. In the upper half of the pic
ture sits the figure of Italy, with the iron
crown upon her head, she holds the scepter
in her right hand, and in her left the
armorial shield of the house of Savoy. On
the two steps of her throne are two in
scriptions, the first of which originated
with King Victor Emanuel, and the sec
ond with the present King umberto: %
In Rome we are, and in Rome we mean
to stay" CD :'Rome is intangible" In
other sections of the postage stamp are
crowded a number of symbols-the she
wolf of ancient Rome, the eagle of Sa-
yoy, profiles of the two modern kings of
United Italy, the Italian crown, and the
inscription Postal stamp in honor of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the liberation
of Rome and the two dates, 1870 and .ls95.

FAVORABLE PROSPECTS.

Good Weather Promised by the Ex-
perts for the Present.
1t is altogether likely that the warn,
There may be little furry during the lat
ter part Of the month, but the usual ex-
perience of Washingtonians is that after
the excessive heat of September has passed
and has been broken by cool wave there
is no return of uncomfortably high temper
ature until the next season. The cool wave
of last week was almost too severe and too
sudden. Saturday night the city fairly
shiverod, and some of the suburban resi-
dents were decidedly uncomfortable. 1t be-
gan to warm up a little yesterday, how
ever, and today the temperature was most
delightful.
The weather bureau put forth an alto
gether agreeable map this morning, show
ing the country to be almost free from dis
turbances, with a general rise of tempera-
ture throughout those sections that were
visited by the cool snap a few nights ago.
Some of the temperatures reported from
New York state and New England yester-
day were surprisingly low Ice was formed
at several places, the temperature having
gone below the freezing point in such a
snort space OF time that in many places
crops were injured. Washington did not
suffer SO severely as this, and the drop in
the temperature was not on the whole un-
welcome. This mornings predictions were
favorable to all kinds of outdoor employ
ment, end the map gives an excellent pros
pect for a fair, pleasant week. 1t is ap-
parent that there will be no unusual fall or
rise in the temperature, but that the mer-
curry will make fairly normal September
record.

Holding the Breath.


From Tid-Bits.
1t is a physical impossibility for man to
kill himself by holding his breath.
individuals differ greatly in the length of
time they can hold their breath, and what
practice and determined effort combined
with natural great lung capacity, can do in
this direction is shown by the long periods
for which champion divers can remain un-
der water. If a man succeeded in continu-
ing to hold his breath, in spite of the phys
ical discomfort in which he had placed
himself the result would simply be to in
duce a state of coma. When this state was
reached nature would reassert herself, and
the breathing functions would again re-
sumo full activity, preventing fatal issue
in spite of their owners desire.
