BENT OVERS IN A ROW.
Local Wheelmen's League a Good
Thing to Foster Quarrels.

There is a lively fight on among the
L. A. w. members in this city, starting
from H. D. Crosby's recent suspension
of G. c. Claudy. The latter has pro-
tested the second days races given in
Topeka by the T. A. a. W., alleging
that the races were conducted in viola
ton of the L. A. w. rules governing
the sport.
A large number of Claudy's friends,
among them being William Hodson, as
Sert that Crosby went out of his way as
an official Handicapped to secure
Claudy's suspension and they insist
that if the rules are to be so rigidly
enforced against riders that Mr.. Cros-
by should enforce them also against
clubs.
Mr.. Claudy contends that the T. A A
w. officials violated the rules by secur-
ing w. w. Webb to referee the races
on the last day of the state circuit meet.
The rules provide that when member
Of the division racing board or the Off
cia1 Handicapped cannot be secured for
that position, an outside man may be
secured after permission is given by the
member of the national racing board in
charge of the district, which for To-
peka means w. 1. Doty of Denver

thereto. The controversy threatens to

WHAT Ell DORADO MAY DO.
Looking for an Old Plains Wagon to
Bring to the Fa Festival.

The Ell Dorado Daily Times says: In
response to the Times suggestion of an
historical representation of early days
on the plains at Topeka'S Fall Festival
the State Journal says:
Topeka delegates Ell Dorado to get
up this feature and bring it to Topeka.
Transportation will be provided free
The suggestion is a good one and can
be elaborated so as to make it one of
the most striking sights of the week
We want about 1000 Ell Dorado people
to come along with the train.''
Now what's wanted is some old Inch
pin fight wagons with big bows and
white covers. Lieut.. J. D. Conner and
the old pioneer Dan Slime of Augusta,
used to have 'em. Where'n the oxen
come from? There's probably not a
half dozen yoke of oxen in the coun-
ty. 1t would take the resources of the
state to supply the old fashioned wag-
ons and bows, the heavy chains, the
yokes and the oxen. We have the
plainsmen right here, though, N. F.
Frazier, John Belts, Jerry Conner. A.
o. Griggs. When it comes to bull
whachng, the editor of the Times
knows how to "holler" and pop the
big long whip with the short handle.

a Rockefeller syndicate. Negotiations
have been going on for some little time
and now the matter is practically set
tied.
The steamer will stay here until the
end of the excursion season. Then she

for transportation east.

DIR. OUAYLE'S CALL.
He ia Asked to Succeed Rev. T. MI.
Bristol Who Goes to McKin-
LEWIS Church.

Kansas City, Aug. LETT is reported
that Rev. DR.. Quayle, pastor of the In
of this city, either has or will receive
a caIlto the First Methodist church of
Evanston, ILL.,, the pulpit of which will
be left vacant by the call of Rev. DR..
Frank NJ. Bristol to the Metropolitan
church of Washington, D. c., where
President Mckinley attends services.
DR.. Quayle is at present on vacation.
Last spring DR.. Quayle was called to
Calvary church, in New York city, the
largest church in Methodism, at a sal
airy about double what he receives in
Kansas City. After mature delibera-
ton, he declined to accept the call upon
the urgent request of practically the
united membership of his church.
Before accepting the call of the indie
pendence avenue church in this city,
DR.. QuayIe had been president of Baker
university at Baldwin, Kan.

the visitors. The expenses of game
besides the salaries of the players is in
the neighborhood of $35 game, and
to pay the salaries and come out ahead
it is necessary to take in at least 500
at the gate. That has not been done
for so long that the memory of Man
ager Coe does not recall it. The game
Saturday was better attended than any
for several weeks and the total receipts
were SS7.
Il am satisfied now,' said Manager
Coe, that Topeka people do not want
a base ball team. We have done the
best we could, and 1 am tired of try
ing"
The interest in base ball in Topeka
has been degenerating for severalyear
No matter how good team Topeka
had it would not be properly supported
and the experiment will probably not
be tried again soon.

that could be expected. Stanley pitch
ed for Topeka and did excellent work,
but Abilene won the game by superior
fielding.

Roman Chariots Banked in Flowers to
Appear in the Parade.

A Topeka young man has a bright
idea for the Floral Parade which he in
tends to carry out by the cooperation
of other Topeka young men in sub
scribing cash.
The young man is Mr.. Fred Gordon.
and his idea is to place in the Floral
parade two handsomely f1orally decor
abreast, the drivers to be two popular
Topeka young ladies, one a brunette
and the other a blonde, and the young
tunes.
Mr.. Gordon ought to have no difficult
ty in finding young men who will aid
him in carrying it out. The chariots
will be among the best features of the
Floral parade
The chariots can be secured from the
Butler ranch at Silver Lake and match
ed 'fours" can easily be secured in this
city.

New York, Aug. 16.-Mary Elizabeth
Lease, the Kansas advocate of cur
rency reform, is in the city making a
study of various trades in order to get
fresh material for series of lectures
which she proposes to deliver in New
Jersey. Mrs. Lease spent several days
visiting the headquarters of labor
unions The strikers headquarters on
the east side were visited well as
the tenement houses and sweaters
homes.
Mrs. Lease was very much shocked
at some of the things she saw. Moth
ing in her experience among the farm
ers matched the woes of East side
tenement denizens.
She always gets new stock of gowns
when she comes to this city. One or
dered a few days ago from fashion
able costumer is a model of elegance.
The gown is of India silk. White satin
revers, heavily braided with black,
adorns the bodice, and the front is
formed by a vest of cream embroidered
chiffon, crossed with rows of very mar
row lemon-colored velvet ribbon. A
large black hat, adorned with long os-
trich plumes, completes a very hand

WILL HAVE NEW UNIFORMS.
The Abilene Fire Department is Com.
ing to Topeka in New Outfits

The Abilene Reflector says: The fire
department held its regular meeting
last night and decided to buy new uni
forms, the old ones beginning to look
almost as bad as the uniforms of the
Topeka ball club. A committee was ap-
pointed to make the necessary pur-
chases. The suits will be the regular
uniform such as is worn by firemen
in the cities and will consist of pants,
coat and cap instead of pants, shirt and
cap as heretofore.
1t was also decided to attend the
annual firemen's tournament at Topeka
during the Fall Festivities, and the
necessary practice runs will be taken
to insure the getting of some of the
prizes offered.

After Good Game.

There win be no more professional

Cbout $50 each to straighten things out.

I If those who put up the money had
cared to continue the missionary work
for another month the team would still
be in existence, and that is what they
intended to do until the last minute.
A base ball team is an expensive lux
ury, especially when the people of a
town do not want it, It cost about
$1,000 month to keep the Topeka team
going. The visiting teams receive S25
