WATCH FOR NEW WEEDS.
Any Weed Can BE Killed if Taken in
Times Says BOtanist COviIIe.

Any Weed Can BE Killed if Taken in
Times Says BOtanist COviIIe.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The direct loss
in crops, the damage to machinery aud
stock and the decrease in the value OF
land due to weeds in this country
amounts to millions of dollars year ac-
cording to the estimates of Botanist F. V.
Coville of the agricultural department.
The report urges all land owners to be
on the watch for new plants and learn
their character if possible before they
become established. This is the only
practicable method of complete exter-
mination unless public sentiment is
aroused to more vigorous and universal
destruction of weeds.
Any species, according to the bulletin,
can be subdued and controlled within
the limits of ordinary farms Broken
land should not be permitted to remain
idle, and sowing or cutting off the main
stems of weeds is deprecated as multi
plying the stocks, but cutting the roots
below the crown usually kills them.

A Silver Watch Found There-Further
Search Being Made.
A watch was found in the we'll at the
Matson place at Fifteenth and Monroe
streets last evening.
William Baldwin, a shoemaker living
in the neighborhood, was in the yard
Sunday afternoon and looked into the
we'll 1t is nearly empty, and is not
more than eighteen feet deep. Baldwin
saw what he thought was a pair of
"brass knucks." and not knowing but
that the discovery might be of some con-
sequence, he went into the we'll with the
aid of rope and succeeded in getting
the object out. 1t proved to be cheap
silver watch, but the rust of several
months had discolored the case until it
would have passed at a distance for a
gold watch.
Baldwin turned the watch over to the
police and this morning they took it to
Morrison's jewelry store to have it ex-
amined 1t was an open-face, stem wind
ing watch, and the jeweler declared that
it probably cost not to exceed $40 when
it was new. The case was rusted so
firmly that it was opened with difficulty
The watch proved to be a Cheshire
make. 1t is not known whether it is one
of those that belonged to Mrs MatsOn or
not. Until this is settled the find is not
of much significance. By the direction
of Chief Wilkerson force of men were
set to work today cleaning out the we'll
with the hope that something else may
be found there that will help clear away
the mystery surrounding the murder OF

appointment and Topeka lost the game
because of bad management Conner
was in the box for Topeka, and though
he was hit freely in the first and second
innings, he was holding the Leavenworth
team level when some one conceived the
notion of taking Conner out and putting
Drummer, the left handed pitcher who
pitched Saturdays game on the home
grounds. in his place. Burners arm
was sore, and though he pitched well for
two innings, in the third he went to
pieces and Leavenworth scored six runs.
4nan Conner was put back in the box
but it was too late to save the game. DR..
Browntield offered the Topeka team $50
if they would win in the last inning, but
the game was already lost, as Leaven-
worth was five runs in the lead.
The home team was greatly weakened
at third, as Close did not play. Beau
champ played in place Of Close, but he
was badly missed in the field and played
a miserable game at third. Crockett,
who is one of Topeka's best batters
could not hit the ball, and Brandt played
poor game.
Twice during the game Hartman, the
LeavenwOrth catcher, attempted to spike
Brandt, and he was promptly fined.
The umpire gave Leavenworth the
best of every doubtful decision and his
actions sustained what Manager Glass;
man of the Leavenworth team said in
Topeka; that they would win the game
some how. He evidently relied on his
umpire. 1t is fact however that if the
umpire had been entirely fair that Leav-
enworth would have won just the same.
Though by a closer score.
Following is the score:
Topeka ....5 2 TO- 600 90

IT'S ALL FIXED UP.
A Story From Kansas City Kansas
About Joints.
MANY NEW ONES ARE OPENED

Owing to an Understanding With the
Governor; So says a Kansas City,
Kansas, Newspaper-NameA of New
JOintists Published, SO the Facts
Must be COrrectI Stated.
About three months ago the report was
published in the STATE JOURNAL and
most of the other Kansas papers that
owing to Governor MorrilFs wise APP
pointment of police commissioners at
Kansas City, Kas., all the joints had been
closed, and many rejOiced at the prospect
of having the law enforced in that city
at least, if not in all Kansas towns. But
the closing it appears was but temporary.
The joints are now opened again and
new ones have been started The Kansas
City, Kansas, Sun mot the Sunday Sum
says:
"a week ago a Republican state
official told the editor of this paper that
plan had been suggested which, if car
ried out, would become SO popular that
no one could defeat Morrill, This plan
was to allow the joints in Kansas City,
Kas., to run with a cigar stand, barber
shop or restaurant in front, as few saloon
fixtures as possible, and fine each one $50
per month, and an additional sum of SO
per month. We understand that the $50
was a separate affair and was not to be
included in the fine. This officer did
not enjoin secrecy on our part, hence we
feel at liberty to express ourselves.
Since that time the Republican mem
bers of the police board have been
called to Topeka by the governor and
many new joints have been opened in
this city since their return. Three in
one block alone in the business part of
the city. One at 521, Dicks lunch
counter: 532, Gruble's; 543, Donahue.
alias Steve Hayes, all on Minnesota
avenue. If necessary many more can be
named in all parts of the city.
And now we have in the Gazette OF
this date, Republican paper, a column
article signed by a.committee of four old
soldiers, charging that nine tenths of the
best citizens of this city are condemninp
the police board, aud charge that there
are from nifty to seventy five saloons run
nlng with doors wide open"
What does it mean? At present we
are not arguing whether it is right or
wrong for the joints to run. But what
we want to know is, why the ministers
and the Good Citizens League are so
SILENT while they took such an active
part when Lewelling was governor be-
cause he did not close the Joints. Ia it
possible that joint that pays a fine of
sou and $50 on the side is less distasteful
TO the ministers than one that is fined
only $50 month?

THE SPOONERS GONE.
They Had Good Business in Topeka and
Will Spend the Summer West.

Will Spend the Summer West.
After playing to big audiences all last
week the Spooner company left for Den
yer to play ten weeks at the Curtis street
theater yesterday. They were we'll
pleased with their reception in Topeka.
1t was the first big week they had had
for some time. 1t is said their business
in Ohio and the east where they were
not known was not at all flattering and
was sometimes very discouraging. NAL
colin Williams will remain with the com
pany few days longer. Carlton Wells
will leave it in two or three weeks and
both will go to New York. Miss Grove
who has been with the company ever
since it was formed lives in Kansas City.
The Spooners have struck the key note
of success in that they give the sort
of an entertainment a popular price au-
dience wants.
B. S. Spooner's health is not good and
the family will spend the summer in the
mountains.

LESS TRUTHFUL.
This Is a Mans Assertion In Regard ia
Women Compared with Men.

man who has made a study of wom-
en- and their ways remarked the other
day that women are, as a set. less frank
and truthful than men. Whatever
truth there is in this assertion we NAV
be sure il is at least not innate. but
due to the difference in the REQUIRE
ments of the two sexes, and the con-
sequent difference in their education,
Men are taught to reveal true natures
from the cradle to the grave. Men are
taught that, being human, they are
subject to various passions and liable
TO fall into error whish it is not neces-
sary for them TO conceal, for if they
deviate from the straight and narrow
path the world will quickly forget and
forgive. Women, on the contrary, are
taught that if they are not inwardly
statues of decorum, they must make it
appear that they are, for the world
is merciless to one of their sex who by
word or deed hints that the smallest
tottering on her pedestal, not to men
tion even a monetary descent from it,
is possible.
In short, women are required to con-
ceal their real human selves from all
beholders as absolutely as they conceal
their lower limbs in the conventional
draperies of femininity, while men are
as free to reveal their real selves to the
world as TO clothe themselves in the
neither garments of their sex But con-
cealment, or lack of frankness, is by no
means untruthfulness. - Philadelphia
