SIGNING PLAYERS.
President Robson of the st. Louis
Club Forestalling New League.

President 80 DlSOQ OF the 81 LOUIS
Club Forestalling New League
st. Louis. Sept 27.-If the new Ameri-
can Association of Baseball clubs,which
is to enter the field in competition with
the National League. wants to get any
of the latter's star players, 1t had bet
ter hurry up. The National League
clubs are already signing their stars
for next season. Cy Young, the star
pitcher of the country, signed st.
Louis contract yesterday. George Cup
by, who has been playing second star to
Young of late, is also tied up for next
year. He signed with his side partner.
Jack Powell will probably sign to-
morrow. Burkett and O'COnnor have
also been approached to sign, and as
handsome inducements are being hung
out to these stars, they will probably do
so without waiting for the new league
to see them; that is, unless that organ
ization hurries up and gets its money
out.
Schreckengost refused to sign at the
salary offered him, though he was
tempted with a substantial increase.
Donlin, Heidrick and all the other play
ers were asked to call on President
Robson after yesterdays game. They
did So but Mr.. Robson had to catch
train, and asked the players to call
again on Wednesday, when he will re-
turn to ST. Louis.
The hurry to sign players must be
attributed to a design to head off any
0rOposed inrOads the new league, which

National League clubs. 1t has not been
usual to sign players at this early late,
such business generally going to the
spring. But with a competitor in the
field, it behoOves the old organization to
be in hurry. Competition is the life
of trade.
1t is said that Young got a fancy sal
ary He ought to. He is the greatest
player in the game. Then, the moral
effect his signing will have on younger
players win be great. Young stands
high in the estimation of his fellows as
an honorable, wise man, whose business
judgment is excellent and conserva-
tive.
President Robson admitted that he
had signed some players, but pooh
hooed the idea of fear of the new league
being incentive thereto.
I'VE are situated differently from
what we We're in Cleveland" he said.
Then we had the players with US all
the time. Now we have not. I did not
think of signing men today until went
to the park, and then I thought it would
save me time and future trouble to do
so. I signed my old men, Young and
Cuppy, in minute
1t is also stated that the men who
signed were offered a good share of
their next years salary in advance.

1t Is Daily Gaining Favor
In Topeka.
Results Reported From People Who
Have Given a Fair Trial
to the Remedy.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the scientific
kidney remedy and backache cure, is
daily gaining favor in this city. No
medicine has ever been sold in Topeka
for kidney ailments, backache. nervous
ness, sIeeplessness and general debil-
ity that has gained such popular favor
as Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
Vim. Noble, Proprietor of Confection-
cry and Lunch Counter. 116 Kansas av-
enue, reaffirms his statement, saying
that Kid-ne-oids have permanently
cured him of dull, heavy pain in the
back and nervousness which came from
disordered kidneys. He says that Kid
ne-oids have made a hale, hearty, ro-
bust man of him. Kid-ne-oids have
done for Mr. Noble what many other
remedies and physicians failed to do;
they have cured him of kidney trouble,
nervousness and urinary disorder to
stay cured. Not the least symptom of
the old trouble has returned since be
used Kid-ne-oids which was nearly two
years ago.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow Tablets and cure all kidney

TN A Dilemma.
State Administration is Short
of Spell binders.
Governor Stanley Must Do Most
of the Speaking Himself.
ORATORS LEFT OUT
Seem They We're Overlooked In
Making Appointments.
Ability to Make Speech Not a
Qualification.

The present state administration has
fewer spell binders connected with it
officially, than any administration
which has been in power for a quarter
of a century in this public speaker pro-
ducing state in the west.
This condition was surprisingly
brought to the attention OF the gov
ernor a few days ago when he wanted
man to represent him at the soldiers
reunion. The governor was to deliver
the address of welcome, but when he
found that a previous engagement nee
essitated his presence at EIdorado's re-
union, a, search was at once made for a
man to represent the administration.
The governor thought of the adjutant
generals office, but neither of the men
there make public speeches. Then the
governor thought of the board of direc-
tors, three members, at the state peni-
tentiary. There are no speakers on that
board. The same condition applies to
the following boards:
State reforma tory board of directors.
State board Of dental examiners, five
members.
State board of pharmacy. three mem
bers.
State grain inspection department, a
large number of employees.
State oil inspection department near
ly 100 employees.
State text book commission, seven
members.
Superintendent of Osawatomie asy-
lum and more than 100 employees.
State asylum and reform school, To-
peka.
Deaf and dumb school, Olathe.
Blind asylum, Kansas City.
Imbecile asylum, Winfield.
Industrial school, Beloit.
Directors, three, state soldiers home.
officers and employees state soldiers
orphans home.
State forestry stations.
There are in the list more than !. 900
men, not including the court of vista
ton. Lit Crum never made a speech in
his life, but Judge Postlethwaite and
Judge johnson are good speakers.
There are five members on the state
board of charities, but only one of them
is a speaker. He is Treasurer George
w. Kanavel of Sedgwick, who was once
a Methodist minister. He retired from
the ministry several years ago.
Mr.. kanavel, in the years gone by,
was a forcible speaker. His efforts were
the result of much thought and deep
study, but impaired health compelled
him to give up the work in the minis
try. He is probably the best speaker
in the long list of appointees made by
Stanley.

BEETLES AS UNDERWRITERS
IFrom Our Animal Friends.l

LFrOm Our Animal FriendS.l
People often wonder what becomes of
the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly. one is
ever to be seen. The fact is that they
are buried by beetles Buchner gives
d brief account of them as follows:
Several of them unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead ami
NAL such as a mouse, a toad. a mole,
a bird, etc. The burial is performed be-
cause the corpse, if left above ground,
would either dry up or grow rotten. or
be eaten by other animals. In all these
cases the young would perish, whereas
the dead body lying in the earth and
Withdrawn from the outer air lasts very
well. The burying beetles go to work
in a very Well-considered fashion, for
they scrape away the earth lying under
the body. so that it sinks of itself deep
er and deeper When it is deep enough
down it Is covered over from above. If
the situation is stony. the beetles, with
united forces and great efforts, drag
the corpse to some place more table
for burying- They work so diligently
that a mouse for instance is buried
within three hours But they often
work on for days, so as to bury the
body as deeply as possible. From large
carCasses, such as those of horses,
sheep, etc they only bury pieces as
large as they can manage"
There can be no doubt of the intelli-
gence of these strange insects, as
gentleman discovered in a rather cur
f0us way. He desired to dry a dead
toad, and for that purpose he fastened
IT upon the top of an upright stick. The
burying beetles. however. were soon at
tracted by the smell, and, finding that
they could not reach the toad. they un-
dermined the stick. causing it to fall
with toad, which was then duly bur-

Strange Conduct of an Old Clock.

TFrom the Chicago Inter-Ocean.1
Samuel Smith, an operator at the
South Chicago police station, has a
mysterious clock at his home which
causes the family much uneasiness by
its strange antics The timeDiece is an
heirloom, and for over 80 years has
hung on the wall of a small bedroom in
the Smith residence, 11704 Muskegon
avenue. Several years ago the clock
stopped and Smith tried to fix it. Fail
ing in the effort, he gave most of the
wheels to his little brother, Homer, to
play with. Although the clock no
longer kept time. it was left hanging
for the associations sake.
one night last week, just as the fami
" prepared to retire. the old clock be-
gan to tick. The entire family were in
the sitting room, connecting by an open
door with the room from which the
sounds came. They all looked up in
astonishment and listened Then they
entered the bed room quietly and look
ed at the ancient timepiece and listen
ed to it ticking merrily.
An uncanny feeling came over the
listeners Suddenly the clock stopped.
Opening the case the rusty, dust-cOVer-
ed remnants of the works were seen to
be asathey had been for years. There
was no explanation forthcoming. A
mystery, certainly, but unlikely to be
repeated, and nothing occult or super
natural was the verdict of the family.
Next night at the same hour, a few
minutes past 10, the clock again began
to tick The younger Smith, who is Is
years old, had already retired, but was
not asleep. As soon as the mysterious
ticking began the boy left his bed and
scurrfed into the outer room. This
time there was no attempt at an in
vestigation made. The clock licked as
before for about five minutes, and
then with an alarming Whirr, ceased.
Since then each night has witnessed
a repetition of the peculiar antics of the
old clock.

PHILOSOPHY AND USE OF
,.1,,f I-tI.s,

Written for the Times Republican,
There is much said just now about
the return of the comet of 1889 / don't
think anyone need to be alarmed by it..
Comets are eccentric and erratic in
their movements. They are not on time
as planets are; they return sooner or
later, or may not return at all. They
are numerous. Only those turning their
palihelion near the sun can be seen at
all. From what has been ascertained
by astronomers, there are three and a
half millions to turn their perihelion
within the orbit of Neptune. Now be-
lieve the comet, or aggregation of me-
teors, of 1888 met its fate at that time.
The chances of comet hitting the
earth in its orbit are very slim, but
when they do hit it they unload their
material, as they did in 1898. That
comet pelted one side of the earth with
a shower Of meteorites, which exploded
in the upper atmosphere.
Now the area of one-half of the
earth's surface is 5000 miles in diam
eter and the earth is moving at a rate OF
velocity in its orbit equal to shot can
non ball The splendid scenery LASTED
more than ten hours. Considering the
time the shower Of meteors fell. and thu
area 1t fell on, 1t must have destroyed
the identity Of the comet. At the APP
