viii Enter Active Training at

Chicago. July 24.-Fred Gilbert, holder
Of the American E. c. Powder cup, en-
blematic of the worlds championship
at inanimate targets, yesterday accept
ed a challenge for its possession from
ROIlo Q. Heikes of Dayton. The race
will take place August 20 at Watsons
Burnside park
The fact is, both the holder and the
challenger are in the employ of rival
powder companies. Therefore, when
Gilbert won the trophy from a field of
seventy at New York the first week in
May, it was generally expected that
an effort TO win the cup from its rivals
would be made by the company offer
ing the trophy. Such expectation has
been borne out by the present chal-
lenge, and Heikes, known from one end
of the country to the other as q, trap
expert has been selected to measure
skill with the clever young haWkeye of
Spirit Lake.
As challenger, Heikes deposited $50
against the cup, which is valued at $500.
money and the loser will meet the ne
cessary expense of the contest. The
conditions call for race of $50 tar
gets-hfty singles, five known traps and
unknown angles; fifty single targets,
expert rules, one man up standing in
the center of the score, and twenty-five
pairs. At the original open event in
New York, 800 targets were shot at, 100
in each of the three divisions. AS both
men are clever opponents of the sport,
an exciting race may be anticipated

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
First Reported Outbreak of Texas
Fever This Year Notes

During the past week there have been
several rumOrs circulating in the south
ern part of the state to the effect that
an outbreak of Texas fever had Oc-
CURED among a herd of cattle in Mont
gomery county. No official notification
had been received at the state house
until yesterday, when the governor re-
ceived a communication from the sher-
if of Montgomery county to the effect
that there was something down there
that the state live stock sanitary COM
mission ought to look after. The sher-
if did not say that the reported dis
ease was fever, but only asked that
the commission investigate. Governor
Morrill, at once teIegraphed to J. W.
johnson of Greenwood county, who IS
the chairman of the commission to go
and investigate the matter.
This is the first case this year where
there has been any suspicion of an
outbreak of the disease and the board
called on to investigate. So far the
commission has had only the routine
business before it, and such as arises
from the inspection necessary TO see
that the law in regard to the impOrta-
ton of cattle by railroads and drOVerS
was complied with. The commission,
when they were here last. reported the
condition of cattle throughout the state
generally good and healthy.

FIGHT OVER POLITICS.

Wichita, July 24.-Dave Leahy, city
editor of the Eagle, and CttO Eckstein,
present representative from this dis
trict, candidate for reelection, and al
so candidate for speaker of the house
In the next session of the Kansas legis-
1ature, mixed up Wednesday evening
on the sidewalk in front of the Eagle
Office. But it is all over today and
they are shaking hands and promising
to vote the same ticket in perfect har-
mOny.
OF course it was politics. It didn't
begin yesterday, either. Both of them
attended the late Republican appellate
court convention at Newton, Otto as
delegate, presumably, to WhOOp it up
Tor Mr.. DaugherUy, SedgWlckS cand1-
date, and Dave to do some lobbying in
the interes- of Mr.. Vic MurdOck's can
didacy for the clerkship of the appel
ate court.
Something happened at Newton The
delegation from this county went all
to pieces" as one member said on his
return home The inside workings OF
the deal have never been given to the
Iaity of the party. but were said to be
flcn- anyway, Mr. Ddugherty was
turned down Mr.. Nic's chances went
SI1mmer1ng, and the SedgWiCk delega-
ton was found in the band wagon of
the gentleman from Sumner, who re
ceiVed the nomination and who is said
to have man of his own for the clerk
ship in the person of his brOther-in-
law. Yesterday Otto heard that Dave
had been talking out of meeting and
went down to see about it. Meeting
him in front of the office, he said:
Dave, did you say that I worked
against Vic Murdoch in the Newton
convention"
of course I did, answered Dave.
We'll it's a id lie said the would
be speaker. and before he could return
his cigarette to his mouth Dawes Irish
was up, out went that good right arm
of his and down went Otto. It was a
great blow, straight from the shoulder
and Dave was preparing to follow it up
with left swing, when Otto cried out:
Il didn't mean it Davei"
All right, then; I won't hit you with
this other one" said Dave but, in the
meantime, standing on the defensive
in true pugilistic style
More apologies flowed around there
than were ever heard before. two min
utes later they were shaking hands. a
truce was declared, each satisfied the
other he didn't mean it, and in a short !
time both of the beIIigerents were busy |
denying they ever had a scrap"

SAT DOWN ON CoxEY.
Committee on Resolutions Ignores
His Plank and He Gets Mad.

St. Louis, July 24.-The full Populist
committee on resolutions went to work
at 10 o'clock today on the platform as
prepared by the sub committees. There
were few absentees and the work went
along smoothly at the beginning of the
session. The preamble as proposed by
the subcommittee was adopted with
but little discussion, and with few
changes which were verbal. The finance
plank led to more discussion but it also
went through with comparatively few
changes.
Mr.. Coxey made an effort to secure
an amendment. looking to the adOp
ton of his nOn-interest bearing bond
proposition, but it was voted down 26
to IA. Mr.. COxey afterwards said he
would carry his plank into the conven-
ton, where he thinks it will be received
with greater favor. This jury is pack
ed said Mr.. Coxey, land the chair is
a greater autOcrat than Car Reed
ever dared to be. Think of a chairman
who is supposed to be impartial max
ing motions and voting upon them, as
General Weaver has been doing in the
proceedings of this committee The
financial plank was then accepted.

HARMAN's HAsTINEss.
Kansas Delegate From Valley Falls
Makes an Amusing Mistake.

St Louis Mo, July 24.-De1egate
Hartman of Kansas made an attack
upon the police in the opening session
of the Populist convention yesterday.
Everybody was trying to obtain recOg-
milton at the same time, and Chair
man Butler ordered the sergeants-at-
arms to clear the aisIes and seat the
delegates. Thas was too much for
Harman's Jefferson county blood, and
he mounted a chair and in a powerful
voice began to speak. My country
men, he asked, is it possible we, as
Populists, are to be herded in our res
ervatiOns by uniformed policemen?
Must we submit to the armed miniOns
whom I see on every hand ?"
And he stopped and looked around in
an embarrassed sort of way, for there
were no policemen in sight. The min
ious" were Mr.. Harman's own kind of
people, who were officiating as ser
geants-at-arms. trying to restore order.
The crowd roared and the hasty Kan
san subsidized.

ball over the east fence yesterday and
the crowd went wild.
Clark pitched a steady ball and fooled
the visitors in good shape Ingram
pitched for Emporia, but the Topeka
boys found him easily.
Emporia made its one tiny run in the
seventh inning.
One criticism that seems appropriate
of the Topeka team is that they talk too
much while playing. No one but
coacher has a right to talk during a
game. The inf1eld talked a great deal
yesterday.
There were nearly 300 people present
yesterday to see the opening of the
league games in Topeka, and large
crowd is expected tomorrow. The fol-
lowing was the score:

Senator Allen assured them that they

A CURIOUS APRICOT TREE.
Apparently Dead It Suddenly Bios
SONS Forth.

Fort Scott, July 24-W. J. Skeed Of
512 North Crawford street, has a. pbe-
nomenal apricot tree growing in his
yard Early in the spring the tree
grew leaves and budded out, and later
on developed an abundance of fruit
Recently the fruit began to ripen and
the tree, to all appearances, died The
leaves fell and left it completely bare
though the fruit remained on, ripened
and was gathered and used
After standing stripped for several
weeks the tree is again budding, as it
did in early spring, and blossoms are
again opening
