IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.

81 saw a bit of news in a paper the
other day to the effect that Schlatter,
the so-called divine healer had been
arrested in some little town in Ohio for
drunkenness" said one Of the visiting
Odd Fellows. I want to say that the
report is wrong. OF course, some one
who claims TO be Schlatter may have
been drunk, and may have been arrested.
just as was reported, but I am positive
that it was not the real Schlatter who
worked such miraculous cures by the
laying on of hands out in New Mexico
and Colorado. I know something about
Schlatter as I was in Albuquerque IN
1895 when he first came into public notice
by performing remarkable cures among
the Mexicans. I saw him many times
and also saw many of the people whom
he cured. I do not say that he was a
divine healer or had any divine power
a all, but do know that he performed
many cures that were wonderful. I
don't attempt 10 explain how 1t was

Voter and Will Rectify It.

Salina, Oct. 1O.-Chas. H. Walker, who
has been exercising his constitutional
recently discovered that he is a subject
of Queen Victoria
Mr. Walker made his first application
for citizenship the other day. He has
been a resident of this country for six
teen years and came from Great Britain
when a mere youth with his parents.
The fact that he had grown to manhood
in the republic under the tutorship of
alien parents caused Mr.. Walker to as
sumo that he was a naturalized citizen
Of this country.
When Uncle Sans census enumerator
visited Mr. Walker last summer, his
nationality was disclosed, and he was
appraised of the fact he was not a legal
voter.

wAeNER's LOST ORANGE.
Pittsburg Paper Has Little Hope of
Batting Honors

A Pittsburg paper says: Hans Wag
ner is in danger of losing all chances of
becoming the champion batter of 1900
He has lately been batting in poor form.
while other aspirants have been crack
ing away at a lively rate. In the last
seven games Wagner has made but two
hits. When he stopped hitting his per-
centage was .402. It has since taken a
drop of II points and is now at 1885.
This includes yesterdays game. Only
once in the history of baseball has q
Pittsburg player led in batting. In
1893, when the team finished second in
the race, Jake Stencil led all the bats
men, his percentage being 400 Twice
since 1882 have Pittsburg batsmen come
within the shadow of the batting cham
pionship. The first time was in 1883
when Tom Mansell Of the St.Louis team
beat out Swartwood. ManselFs average
was 1888 and Swartwood's 1858. Svart-
wood, however. was acknowledged the
champion batter because he played 95
games that season, whereas Manseu
played but %. The second time was in
1883, when the honors lay between An
son, of the Chicago team, and Jake
Beckley, of the Pittsburg team Old
Arson won out by one point, getting an
average of .343 to Beckleys 342 It is
hoped that Hans will find his batting
eye before the curtain rings down.

Kansas agricultural methods and lit
