On prunes.

Judge: Il read a very curious state
ment about prunes the other day re-
marked Mrs. Small as she served her
boarders with dessert.
The boardsrs looked up in surprise, for
the prunes were usually handed around in
solemn silence.
1T comes from a Chicago physician, y
Mrs. Small went on, wisely interpreting
the look of surprise as an expression of
anxiety for Information about prunes.
This physician has been officiating at a
juvenile reformatory, and he discovered
that q prune diet had a highly gratifying
moral effect. There is a principle in the
juice OF the Drune which acts upon the
tendency to disobedience and reduces the
most intractable boys TO models of polite
ness and docility. Isn't that very remark
able?''
that the question of it's remarkability
depends on the method of the use of the
prunes.'
'How so?'' asked Mrs. Small.
''NVell, if the boys were made obsdient
by using Drunes as a diet the. thing is
very extraordinary; but if they were
cowed into docility by the threat that if
they were bad they would be fed on
prunes as q punishment there is nothing
strange about it,
Mrs. Small did not seem happy over
this explanation, and six saucers OF
stewed prunes were untouched at that
meal.

KANSAS AND MISSOURI.
Kansas Victorious For Fifth Time
Score 16 TIC o.

Kansas City, Nov. 25.-The seventh
annual football contest between the
Kansas and Missouri universities was
played here this afternoon, and for the
fifth time the KansanS were victorious,
the score being Is to O. The crowd
was the smallest in years, there being
no more thar 1900 spectators. This
was probably due to the weather, it
being dark and cloudy, with a driZzling
rain falling. The NissOurianS, though
thoroughly beaten, proved strong in
their defensive work, and from start
to finish contested every inch of the
field
The Jayhawkers We're so far SUI
perior in their play, however, that at
no time during the game was their
goal seriously in danger. The score of
the Kansans would have been higher
but for the misfortunes of Speak, full
back, who failed in four attempts to
kick a goal from the field. The field
was wet and sloppy and the ball slip
perry Neither side scored until near
the end of the first half, when the jay
hawkers pushed Mosse across for a
touchdown. Mosse missed the goal.
The first half ended with a sensational
play by Hesse, who. breaking through
Killam and Ligett and lodging Wood
son, made a 25-yard run for the second
touchdown of the game. Mosse kicked
the goal and the first half ended: Kan
sas, 10; Missouri, 0.
Soon after play was resumed in the
second half the Jayhawkers worked
the ball up to Missouris 15-yard line,
and Captain Kennedy, trying a quar-
ter-back kick, sent the ball back to the
Missouri goal line and Games beat
Woodson to the ball, scoring Kansas
third touchdown. Mosse kicked the
goal.

Sensational Binding of a COlOred
Peoples Dance
AT THE GRAND ARMY HALL
JOHN DENT, a CoLoRED MAN,
THE VICTIM.
The Shooting Was Done by Al
shafer, Who Fired in the Crowd
ed Ball Room Dents Injury is
Probably Fatal.

Last night about lao Al Shaffer shot
and probably fatally wounded John w.
Dent at a colored peoples ball held in
the Grand Army hall on West Second
South street. The shooting occurred
in the crowded ball room and it was
thought that Dent was the innocent
victim of the affair. The whole affray
started in a row that is alleged to have
been provoked by Shaffer. 1t seems
that Shaffer wanted to call off one of
the square dances, but it was objected
to by the leader of the orchestra. The
leader who is Private McCauley of
company d of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry, told Shaffer that there was a
man appointed to call off and that he
would not play for anyone else.
This made Shaffer angry, and he
threatened to strike McCauley, and the
result was q fight, in which the entire
orchestra seemed to participate. The
affair took place on the platform at the
south end OF the hail. In the melee that
followed it is said that a man named
Hutton lifted a chair to strike Shaffer.
Hutton was on the east end OF the
platform, and Shaffer was further west
when the movement with the chair was
made. AS the piece of furniture was
lifted, Shaffer made a movement to-
ward Hutton, and stumbled over the
chairs on the stand. AS he did so
Shaffer pulled his pistol from his
pocket and fired it, presumably at Hut
ton.
At this time Dent was standing near
! the piano just east of the musicians
stand, and when the gun was dis
charged, he being in front of Shaffer,
he was struck and fell to the floor
! Some say that Shaffer then attempted
to fire the pistol again, but was pre-
vented by Doc. Tanner, who grabbed
! the weapon from his hand and told
| him to leave the hall as fast as he
could go. The wounded man was car
ried into little room at the north
| end of the hall and Drs. Meacham
McKenna and Root were summoned tC
attend him.
The injured man was taken to st
Mary's hospital, and the exact nature
of his wound will not be known unit
a thorough examination is made, al
! though it is believed that it will result
fatally. Dents wife and child were
present when he was shot, the former

ployed at the Clipper saloon, and is
said to be an industrious man. Shat
