THEY CONSULTED.
But It's Only Guesswork What They
Talked About.

Topeka Capital; Ex-Governor John
W. Leedy and Colonel E. c. Little
had conference in Topeka last We'd
nesday night. Neither would talk
for publication, but it is supposed
they were planning for political
campaign.
A.satory circulates that Leedy and
Little have Joined the Munger move.
ment. According to this story they
are to support Munger for governor
and the Munger forces are to support
Little for whatever he may want-a
choice likely between congressman in
the Fifth district and United States
senator.
This story, whether true or false,
will sound plausible to those who
know how Leedy and Little hate
John W. Breidenthal.
Mr.. Breidenthal is the only rival
Munger has for the Pop nomination.

GOES TO PARIS.
Elsie Reasoner Will Go to the Big
Worlds Fair Show.

Miss Elsie Reasoner, the celebrated
war correspondent and only American
woman who witnessed the coronation
Of Queen Wilhelmina, is the recipient
Of new honors, as she is the youngest
member Of the Paris commission, be
ing the Chicago representative OF the
Associated Press at the French capi-
tai.
The New York and London offices
will be represented by experienced
men, but this young girl with twenty
summers to her credit was unani-
mously chosen for this responsible
position by the manager Of the three
departments, as she has fully demon
strated her ability as correspondent
Miss Reasoner's "luck" is proverb-
ial, but when analyzed it is the legit-
innate outcome Of an almost occult
power to toresee possibility, an un-
erring instinct to grasp an opportun-
ity and Napoleonic spirit that de-
fies defeat and commands success.

Gillett Creditors Will Got But Little
Money.

Kansas City Journal: Creditors Of
Grant G. Gillett, the Kansas cattle
plunger, will get little out Of their
claims, even il they are holders Of
first mortgages. A conference Of at

was held yesterday at the Coates
house in reference to number Of
suits brought in Davies county.
Among those who attended the con-
ference was James N. johnson, one
the leading attorneys Of St. Joseph,

creditors.
when it is all figured up believe
the liabilities Of Gillett will run from
$l,5OO,OOO to $2,OOO,OOO," said Mr..
johnson. "It is impossible to say
what the actual loss will be, but it
will be the greater portion of this.

possession Of the cattle in litigation
will be obliged to sacrifice largesums

ONE FEARrEAL WINTER.
An Old Settler Writes Of the Storms

were very evenly matched. The college

work being quite good The League
players manifested their knowledge OF
the finer points of the game. If they
had more practice contest between
the same teams would be about as pref
ty and close as one could find. The
battery work of both mines was about
even.
The League men were shut OUT for
four successive innings. They then
made two runs. followed by two goose
eggs. They got one in both the eighth
and the ninth. The college boys
started out with one. followed with
two more and scored another in the
third. Three ciphers followed. They
pulled themselves together in the sew

The ninth was not needed. Following

1t has been suggested by some OF
the local players that after the League
series is finished the winning team play
a game with the pennant team OF Hilo
for the championship Of the Islands.
They have organized a league il that
city and report that the outlook for
good base ball is encouraging. The fol-
lowing is taken from the Hilo Trib-
une:
Base ball practice is the order Of the
day, and each afternoon one or more Of
the teams may be seen dallying with
the elusive but stony hearted, spherold
on the diamond of the Boarding School
grounds or chasing it through the lux
uriant growth of brush which sur
rounds it. Old players are limberlng
up their joints and proving that they
are not yet to be relegated to the cat
alogue of HAS Beens," while with loud
voiced expressions of encoura cement
or disapproval they teach the young
idea how to bat.
"A league as stated elsewhere, has
been formed, and under the supervision
of a board of directors giving system
and direction to the work a good sea-
son of the sport is reasonably expected.
1t is believed that this organized work
will. also result in financial assistance
which will make a fit ground possible.
A contest between the champion
teams of the two leagues would be full
of rivalry and interest. 1t would also
tend to put athletics of the two cities
in closer touch with one another. Let
some of our enthusiasts get together
and see what can be done.

and rendered her unable to walk a
