HAPGOOD'S LIVERY STABLE
Was Short a Horse and Then Short
Its Equipment, Too.

Yesterday George H. Hapgood, who runs
a livery stable, hired a horse to a man
giving his name as w. c. Harris. Harris
rode the horse away and did not return.
Last night the police found the horse tied
on lower Kansas avenue and returned it
and Hapgood found the saddle, bride and
blanket in the second hand store of J. w.
Jones & Son.
The second hand store proprietor agreed
to give the articles over to the owner
provided he would pay $3.50, which he
claimed he paid for them. HapgoOd re-
fused to pay for articles belonging to him
self and replevined them in Justice Guys
court this morning.
IF this thing of paying second hand
would cease" said Chief Strauss today;
this selling stolen goods to the second
hand men would not be such a thriving
business as it is now. In many eases sec
stolen or they could not buy them SO
cheap but they invest in them with the
idea that if they are claimed they get
back what they invested"

of the islands on the spot. after proper
deliberation and very careful investiga-

that the Filipino leaders have been
loyal to the Americans. I am informed
that they refused to consider the over
lures of Germany and France.
When Prince Henry visited Hong
Kong, he caused the Filipino leaders
there to visit him, and informed them
that he was empowered to promise the
natives full recognition of their ma
uonal government if they would cede to
Germany as a Quid pro quo, a small

made similar advances and in each case
the reply was, We cannot settle any

Der of the officers serving under Ad-
Enira1 Dewey will prove interesting:
When men are recommended for pro-
motion for Conspicuous and meritOr-
ious conduct in battle" their rewards
should be liberal, their benefits gener-
Gus, but not at the expense of other
people, causing jealousies and heart
burnings.
When an officers is advanced for mer-
itorious conduct in battle:
F'irSt-Let him become an additional
number both in his own grade and
throughout his naval career.
Second-Let him receive, at all times,
the highest pay of that grade.
Third-When retired, let him be re-
tired with the rank and retired pay of
the next higher grade.
Then instead of retarding the promo
ton of any one he would benefit all be-
low him by giving them a number.
He would take nothing from those he
passed over, but would remain addi-
tiOnal until retired, always marked
man and never interfering with any
ones promotion.
When an additional man reaches the
head of list let him be promoted with
and at the same time as the man next
above him.
The highest pay of his grade would be
a suitable reward. If he is at sea, it
never be punished with waiting orders

of being unique Following is the first
stanza and chorus:
wear Jayhawker hats on a Jayhawker
pate;
I ride a Jayhawker horse in a Jayhawk-
In the Jayhawker state I am bound for
to stay.
CHORUS
Don't you hear the voices from the
west,
The bells that ring, the song that we
love best?
It tells of life in a free and happy plain,
And of a warm heart at the old home
tonight.
Jayhawker!
Hear it! hear it! so strong and so clear;
The bells they ring and the wild prairies
sing,
For the Jayhawker boys and the Jay
haWker girls
All find a warm heart in the old home
tonight.
I've a Jayhawker girl with a Jayhawker
face;
She wears Jayhawker flowers with a
Jayhawker grace;
She sings Jayhawker songs with a Jay

And the Jayhawker state is her own
