DAILY NEWS OF SPORT.
Fight in Virginia on Football
Grows Bitter.
One Senator Will Exhibit a Vic
tim to the Legislature.
Senator Barksdale Witnesses a Game
and Says Half the Horrors of
Football Have Not Been
Printed.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 9.-Senator w.
P. Barksdale of Halifax county, who is
the author of the anti-footban bill pend
ing in the legislature, is receiving let
ters from many individuals and orga-
nizations who are backing him up in
the fight. A Richmond woman today
wrote to the senator to call at her home
and talk with her invalid son. This
son, she said, was injured over year
ago in a football game and he VIII new
er be able to work. Mr.. BarkSdale
will visit the young man tomorrow ana
if possible he will have his victim ta-
ken before the legislature and exhibit
him as a live example of the brutality
of football as played here.
The Barksdale bill will come up be-
fore a committee early next week. 1t
is the purpose of the author, who is a
young lawyer of marked ability, to
make speech in it's favor. He Will
have outside influence to bear on mem
bers of the committee. The order of
the Kings Daughters will be represent
ed there. The senator neverg saw a
football game until yesterday. There
was a game in the city and he went out
to witness it. He says he saw nine
players injured and two of them so
badly that they had to be carried from
the field. Today the senator states
that not half of the horrors of football
in Virginia has been printed, and he
will expose the whole thing before the
legislature.

IT WILL BE CUT DOWN
Police Force to Be Reduced in
Accordance With
Judge Hazen's Recent Decision
on the Question.
Business Men Generally Welcome 8
the Reduction in Useless Ex-
pens Police Force Now
Only a Political Ma
chine Anyway.

The Topeka police force will soon be
reduced to conform to the decision Of
Judge Hazen of the district court.
Mayor Fellows yesterday wrote let
ter to President Billiard of the board of
police commissioners, requesting the
board to at once conform to the ruling
of the court and informing him that
the bills of the department will not be
allowed for the officers in excess of
those enumerated in the law under
which Judge Hazen holds that Topeka
police affairs shall be conducted.
President Billiard was asked what
the board viii do.
I have just read the letter of May
or Fellows" said he, and do not see
that the board can do anything but
follow the request OF the council in this
matter, though 1t viii seriously cripple
the force. l do not believe the police
department of Topeka can be conduct
ed with a marshal and no sergeants
jailers or the other knocked out by the
decision.
But the council will have to take
the responsibility If they care to- they
may refuse to allow our bills, and we
have no alternative but to submit until
some other court acts upon the ques-
ton
President Billiard said that meeting
of the board will soon be called to con
slider the matter. He said he did not
know when the meeting would be held.
He also said that he did not know ex-
actly IN what condition it will leave
the police force if Judge Hazen's decis-
ion is followed
The members of the council are de-
termined to make the police depart
ment conform to Judge Hazen's decis-
ion. They will not allow the pay for
sergeants or any other officers who are
tabOOed by the decision. 1t will be in
tereSting to decide which of the mem
bers of the force must go. If Sergeant
Donovan and Sergeant Owens remain
on the force, they must become simply
patrOlmen at a salary of $50 a month,
instead of $75. The jailers, patrol
driver and detectives are now paid but
$50, so it will not affect them. But it
will be necessary to cut off five men,
and they will probably be taken from
the list of patrolmen.
The decision of the court is greeted
with delight by merchants, business
men and taxpayers generally.
Very seldom are thieves and burglars
caught by the police anyway, and a re-
ductiOn of the force will not make any
appreciable difference anyway. The
police force is useful in arresting dis
turbers of the peace. but not in de-
tecting crime, therefore its reduction
will not materially change the present
situation in that respect. 1t is refresh
ing that as the police force has been
used only as means of rewarding po-
ltical workers that it is to be reduced
in size, and if the present abuse of it
is carried much farther. no harm to the
city would come in cutting it down a
great deal more.

Holler, a manufacturer of picture mould
ings and frames. woodenware and toys,
and all kinds of ornamental woodwork, in
reference to locating a factory in Topeka
Mr.. Holler asks in his letter that the
Commercial club arrange for the leasing
of a building and grounds for the factory
as long as it shall remain established in
Topeka. The matter was referred to a
committee.
Yesterday the standing committee OF
the Episcopal diocese of Kansas met and
recommended the Rev. Robt. H. Mize of
Hiawatha to the bishop for ordination to
the priesthood. ". P. James of Man
haitian was recommended for ordination
to the dioconate. Consent was given to
the conservation of the Rev. DR.. McVicar
of Philadelphia as bishop cOadjutor of the
diocese of Rhode Island. Consent was
also given to the translation of Bishop
Talbot from the missionary jurisdiction
of Idaho and wyoming to the diocese OF
central Pennsylvania.

BUT HOW WAS IT DONE
The Popul:st fractional Fight in Sedg-
wick County Stopped.

The fighting factions of the Populist
party in Sedgwick county have ceased
hosti1ities and the indications point to
a settlement of their difficulties which
were brought about mainly by Rufe
Cone, who, backed by Ex-Governor
Lewelling was fighting for the abolish
ment of the police board in the city OF
Wichita.
The row first started in the local
election in which the Populists declared
that Cone had supported the Republic
an ticket and had been guilty of other
conduct unbecOming refOrmer
He retaIiated by inaugurating a fight
against the police board and charged
openly that the board was not making
a proper accounting of the monies col
lected. The members of the commits
sion engaged Gone in local wrangIe
for a few days and he came to Topeka
to secure the removal of all of the
members and the appointment OF a
new police force and pilce judge.
The battle then waged fiercely for a
time First Gone would see the gov
ernOr and spread his side of the case
before him which would require the
combined efforts Of the police commits
sion and its friends to overcome. They
would visit the governor and explain"
A great deal of trouble was created and
gave promise OF disrupting the party in
that county. To go into the next cam
paign with a solid front Governor Lee
dy, Ex-Governor Lewelling and other
statesmen took the row in hand and
succeeded in patching it up.

LYNCHED A CONSTABLE.
Miners Choke Him to Death
and Shoot Holes Through
the Body.

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. 9.-James Muir
ray constable at Jenny Lind a coal mir>
ing town in Sebastian county. was lynch~
ed on Sunday night by mob of coal min
ers. Constable Murray went to Bonanza
Sunday afternoon to arrest a minernanled
Grant NIcBroom. He captured McEroom
without trouble and started with his pris~
oner for Jenny Lind about midnight. That
was the last seen of Murray alive.
The cOnstable's body was found lying
near the roadside about % yards from the
shaft of the Bonanza mine His hands
were tied securely about his body and his
neck was black and blue showing plainly
the imprint of a rope, which had cholzed
the life out. Blood oOzed from a dozen
bullet wounds in the officers body, and
his clothing was torn into shreds. The
coroner began an investigation and it ha9
been fully developed that he was waylaio
by a mob of A1cBroom's friends, composed
of miners, determined upon rescuing the
prisoner, and that Murray was lynched,
his body cut down and placed by the
roadside. McBroom has been rearrested.

for each recitation as is needed to
properly assign the next lesson.
I am now more thoroughly convinced
than ever before that the consolidation
or Capitalization. as it is sometimes
called, is the true solution of the coun-
try school problem
In private letter of recent date
Mr.. Adams says since his report was
made, consolidated schools have been
established at two other points in Mad
ison-at one place four schools, at the
other three, each with two teachers.
This makes five in the township (Which
is q very large one, owing to the gore
on the lake) Five teams are employed
to transport pupils, at a cost of about
a dollar a day for team. Every con-
veyance carries about is pupils. There
is no trouble in transporting pupils,
even the youngest, two. and half
miles, which is the greatest distance
In 1895 there were IS schools in Madi-
son with an average attendance of 217;
in 1896 the number was IA, with an av
erage of 200; this year there are ten
schools with an average that will
reach over 300. The total expense will
be about the same in this township as
under the old plan. but the cost per pu-
Pill will be much less. Mr.. Adams adds
that the new plan is rapidly growing in
the neigh borhood, and the belief is
spreading that the new system is sure
to prevail generally in northeastern
Ohio.

ARC LIGHTS TO REIGN.
North Clark Street, Chicago, to be
Brilliantly IllumiD ated.

Chicago. Dee. 9-Electricity is to make
North Clark street. from the viaduct to
Division street. one of Americas most
brilliant business thoroughfares from
dusk to midnight. The North Clark Street
Business Mems association. at meeting
in the Revere House last night, decided
to begin the work at once.
There are 306 business places on Clark
street from the viaduct to Division street.
and it is proposed to swing in front of
each building an arc light. They are to
be suspended on ornamental brackets and
the lights on either side of the street are
to be aligned eight feet from the house
line and eight feet above the sidewalk.
The association also decided to put its
own force of cleaners on duty to keep
the asphalt pavement-work on which
was completed yesterday-free from all
dirt. Six uniformed men will sweep the
street each day and when the weather
permits it will be flooded with water two
nights each week.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to run
its course without the aid of some reli-
able cough medicine is liable to result
in that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure d
cough or cold than Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. We nave used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire satisfaction.-Oolag Ind. Ter.
Chief, ,--
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventkT< of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used il for colds and la grippe we have
never yet learned of a single case hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia. Persons
who have weak lungs or have reason to
fear an attack of pneumonia should
keep the remedy at hand. The 25 and

TO RETIRE ANsoN
It Has at Last Been Decided Upon b
the Chicago Club.

Chicago. Dec. 9.-The Record says:
Adrian c. AnSOn's retirement from the
managership of the Chicago Base Ball
club has at last been practically de-
cfded upon, and means found where
by it can be done satisfactoril to all
concerned.
The veteran player captain and man
ager will be given a birth in the club
which VIII carry with it a few duties
and liberal salary, and which viii al
so permit the captain if he so desires
to branch out in the minor league bus
mess.
Details of the agreement will not be
given ont until the Chicago captains
contract expires next February.
President Hart can now go ahead and
engage a manager for next season. and
the man in view is Tom Burns the
ex-Colt, about whom there was so much
talk during the Philadelphia meeting
of the league. The rumor current that
If Anson was released by Chicago he

CONSOLIDATING SCHOOLS.
A Plan of superintendent Stryker
That Has Merit in It.

State Superintendent of Public IN
structiOn Stryker has issued a circular
in support of his proposition to trans
port pupils to and from central school
at the public expense in sparsely set
tied parts of the state in preference to
maintaining numerous schools for their
convenience.
He has taken a great deal of the in
formation contained in the circular
from the report of State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction Adams of
Ohio, where the system is in operation
Some of the results are. summarized as
follows:
First-A much larger per cent of
enumerated pupils enrolled.
Second-No tardiness among the
transported pupils.
Third-Irregular attendance reduced.
the per cent of attendance of trans
ported pupils from two sub-districts
being each "a per cent, the highest in
the township.
Fourth-Pupils can be better class
flied and graded.
Fifth-No wet feet or clothing, nor
colds resulting therefrom.
Sixth-No quarreling, improper Ian
guage, or improper conduct on the
way to and from school
Seventh-Pupils under the care of
responsible persons from the time
they leave home in the morning until
they return at night.
Eighth-Pupils can have the advant-
age of better school rooms, better heat
ed. better ventilated and better sup
piled with apparatus. etc.
Ninth-Pupils have the advantage of
that interest, enthusiasm and conf
dence which large classes always bring.
Tenth-Better teachers can be en-
ployed, hence better schools.
EleVenth-The plan insures more
thorough and complete supervision.
Twelfth-It is more economical. I'm
der the new plan the cost of tuition per
pupil on the basis of total enrolment
has been reduced from $16 to $1O.4S; on
the basis of average daily attendance,
from S26.6 Sc to S16.07
Thirteenth-A trial of this plea of
consolidating our schools has satisfied
me that it is a step in the right direc-
ton toward whatever adval. ges a
we'll graded and well classified school
of three or four teachers has over a
school of one teacher with five or eight
grades, and with about as much time
