that part of it between Boston and
Baltimore, reminds one a great deal of
the struggle of 1884 between Providence
and Boston for leading honors. That
was a great fight and Providence want
ed the pennant badly.
In order to win Radbourn was sent in
to pitch day after day until they had
won beyond a doubt. He pitched so
hard that in the end he looked like a
broken down race horse, but he had
the interest of his club at heart, and
stuck to his post. Providence finally
won out by a good margin over BoS-
ton, who came in second.
If Charley Nichols can be induced to
pitch about Is of the remaining 81
games his club has to play, he may re-
peat Radbourn's success, and win the
pennant for his team and everlasting
glory for himself.
The games in fact that will probably
settle the question will be those played
on September "a, 25 and 81. Unfortu-
nately for Boston these are to be play
ed on the Baltimore grounds, an advan-
tage which at present writing makes 1t
appear as though Baltimore was almost
certain to capture the league pennant
for the fourth time.

oLArHE MIGHTY STRICT.
Young Man Who Brings Beer to His
Friends From K G Put in Jail q

Gov. Leedy in pardoning Fred Coker
of Olathe from a Jail sentence of 60
days, interfered in what is probably an
unprecedented case in the history of
Kansas Jurisprudence.
COker was serving a term for VIOLA
ton of the prohibitory law. He went
to Kansas City, August IL, and brought
home some bottled beer, which were
distributed among the boys in his
neighborhOod. The beer was consumed
and the young men who were the bene-
ficiaries, paid Colzer, simply returning
the money which he had expended in
Kansas City.
Indignant friends of the boys, who
seemed to have been overcome by the
beverage, prosecuted Coker for selling
liquor in violation of the law, but it
was sustained in the court.
After the trial, when the circumstan-
ces were explained to the court, the fine
was cut down to 81 from 500. Cocker
has paid the costs, 1874, and his fine,
which action, coupled with the pardon
signed by the governor, will restore him
ii immediate liberty.

soUATTERs' RIGHTS GOOD.
Dispute Over Land Titles at Juneau,
Alaska. Settled by a Court

Seattle, Wash. Sept 13--The trouble
over land titles in Juneau, Alaska, has
been at last settled by decision of
Judge Delaney of the United States
court at Juneau. The possessery rights
of squatters who have improved their
holdings are held to be good against
Invasion. Titles given by the original
locator are by the decision rendered
valid, even though the holders shall be
absent from the premises
The case at issue involved valuable
property of o. H. Adsit, who held deed
from the original locator to property
in the business portion of the town
During his absence it was invaded by
another. Adsit began suit in the Unit
ed States court for ejectment. The case
was tried last December, and Judge De-
laney has just rendered decision IN
favor of Adsit. A deed from the locator
made while the premises had improve
ments, though unoccupied, was held TO
convey a good title.

SHOULD WASH THEIR FEET.
Gratuitous Advice to Students at En-
poria State Normal School.

The faculty of the state normal school
has sent to the state printer through
the state printing board the manuscript
for a remarkable handbook for the stu
dents at that institution.
The book will contain a large amount
of information concerning the rules and
regula tons of the institution, but the
feature which is looked upon with dis
approval is that which contains advice
to the students.
The pupils are urged to wash their
feet at least three times a week and
their bodies at least once q week. They
are also requested to use taste in the
purchase of neckties and other articles
of wearing apparel; to keep their hair
carefully combed; to shine their shoes,
trim their finger nails and wash their
hands with great care and regularity.
About 1000 words of advice of this
character are contained in the volume.

JUST A HINT.
Supt McNall Writes a Letter to a
Boston Insurance Company.

The Employers Liability and Assur-
ance company of Boston has refused to
settle the claim of about $4,000, includ-
ing interest, held by A. M. BonseH of
Arkansas City, administrator of the es-
tate of M. Ridenour, deceased.
The matter has been before the in
surance department of the state a
number of times during the past four
years, but Superintendent McNall is the
only officer who has had the temper to
take up the case and endeavor to Sc
cure a settlement.
The superintendent has written a let
ter TO Geo. M. Endicott, manager of the
company, which is self-explanatory,
portions of which are appended:
Your attorney, J. Mack Love, called
on this department few days ago and
presented his views as well as the views
OF the company on this matter. have
known Mr.. Love for a long time He is
clever and estimable gentleman and
good lawyer, but he is and was very
tenacious in his views in reference to
this matter, but did not succeed in
changing my views, as l so informed
him at the time.
"At the time of Ridenour's death, he
left his widow in poor circumstances
financially, except as to what your COM
pany owed him ON his claim. He was a
Mason, and the lodge at Arkansas City
furnished the money to the widow to
prosecute this suit. In the meantime
complaint was made to this department
about four years ago, when Mr.. Snider
was superintendent. He said he would
permit the case to be tried in the dis
trict court in Cowley county, and if
judgment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff, he would insist upon payment
being made, to which you agreed. Such
judgment was rendered against you,
but by those conditions you have re-
fused to abide.'
The company'S representatives agreed
TO pay the claim if the court held that
they were liable, but soon after the de-
cision was rendered, the case was ia
ken to the court of appeals. All of the
special findings of fact were against
the company, and they were given lit
tie, if any, ground upon which to make
an appeal Now Superintendent Nc
Nall calls attention to the agreement
and suggests to Mr.. Endicott that it
would be the part of wisdom to settle
the claim.

LEW HANBACK's TREE.
It Went With Other Trees When
State House Square was Improved.

From the NOrtonviIle News.
The last time we saw the late Lew
Hanback,, only a few weeks ago, he re-
ferred pleasantly to his official service
for the state. The conversation drift
ing to the state house and the surround
ing grounds, the eX-congressman spoke
with pride of the part that his hands
had performed in identifying the cap
itol square with trees 20 years ago He
spoke of his tree a thrifty sycamore,
which he planted near the northern en-
trance and which had for years been
the recipient of his tender care. But
the tree had already gone-been torn
from its rightful place by hands bent
on so-called mprovements-yet we did
not have the heart to tell him so.

BAD FREIGHT WRECK.
Seven Persons Killed and Is Cars De
rallied.

Van Buren,, Ark, Sept. ia disas-
| trous freight wreck occurred on the
Iron Mountain road at Hanson, I. T., a
small station 20 miles west of Van Bur
en-, at o'clock yesterday resulting in
the death of seven men and the serious
injury of six others, two of whom will
die. The dead are:
WILL FAME.
CHARLES FAME.
DOUGLASS ANDERSON.
JOHN JOHNSON.
BOSE HENDERSON.
FRANK HAMILTON.
H. A. WALTON.
The injured are:
George Coffman.
Jack Jones.
James Phillips.
Robert Eurbanks
Charles Fender.
George Parker.
Of the wounded it is thought that two
will die, as they suffer internal injur-
les. All of the dead and wounded were
sent to Wan, with the exception of
Walton's body, it being brought to this
place, where he has relatives living.
None of the trainmen was hurt
The wrecked train was local freight
No. 45, from Coffeyville, Kan, to Van
Buren,. While the train was running at
a speed of 20 miles an hour, the for
ward trucks of one of the cars near the
engine broke, wrecking Is cars loaded
with walnut logs and baled hay. With
the exception of two cars in front and
three cars in the rear, including the ca
boose, every car of the 20 in the train
was ditched.
In the middle of the train was a car
loaded with heavy machinery, and it
was in this car that Is men were steal
ing a ride, and from which seven dead
and six seriously wounded were taken
by the trainmen shortly afterward. 1t
appears that the occupants of the
wrecked car were a party of men and
boys living at Wan, 1. T., who were
coming to Van Buren, to find employ
ment in the cotton fields. When the
machinery car left the rails it fell on
its side, nearly all the men being caught
by the heavy beams. A car of logs was
piled on top of the one in which the
men were riding, and that any escaped
instant death is but little short of a
miracle.
A messenger was sent to Trainmaster
Walsh at this place by the train crew.
He Immediately ordered out wrecking
crew, and, with Division Roadmaster
McLeon, went to the scene of the wreck
taking with them DR.. Dibrell, the COM
pany's local surgeon at this place. The
first thing done was to eXtricate the
dead and wounded. On account of the
heavy logs and machinery under which
they were buried, the task was a labor
ious one, and it was several hours be-
fore the last of the bodies was removed
from the wreck.
