Falling on Slippery Sidewalk.

Coffeyville, Nov. 29.-According to the
city physician, DR.. G. mailman, there
are six cases of smallpox in the family
of John Lasley, an M. K. & T. section
hand, living at Eighth and Spring
streets. first door east of the McLees
residence. The cases were discovered by
City Physician Tallrnan. and a quaran-
tine was at once established on the pre-
misses and enforced by guards
The six cases are those of Mrs. Lasley
and another woman, a young man and
three children under II years old. The
disease is thought to have been COM
munieated to the Lasley family by the
woman who came from Labette county
to visit them about two weeks ago. She
was taken sick about a week or ten days
illness was thought to be chickenpox
and but little alarm was felt about it
until members of the family became sick
with similar symptoms. A physician
was summoned and the disease pro-
naunced smallpox. The young man was
high fever Friday evening. Saturday he
became worse. None of the family are
in dangerous condition and it is hoped
and believed all viii recover. Mr.. Lasley
is caring for the family and has not yet
shown any symptoms Of the disease He
came up town Saturday night and pro-
tested to City Physician Tallman about
the quarantine, claiming the disease was
only chickenpOx
The Lasley family have lived here on
~ a few months A guard and quaraD-
tine VIII be maintained until all danger
from the disease is past
It would be a good idea for EVERYONE
TO be vaccinated, because the towns all
around Coffeyville have smallpox and it
is now IN good season for it.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Two Men In the Emporia Jail Wanted
in Several Places.

Emporia, Kas, Nov 29.-The two
crooks Dutch" Weber and Frank
Holmes, who were surrounded and cap
tured a few days ago by q sheriff's posse
near Reading after burglarizing a store
in that city, were Jailed here Wednes-
day by Sheriff Tom O'Connor, and their
capture proves to be Of much more i'm
portance than at first supposed.
Letters found in their possession go
to show that they are members Of an
organized band of robbers whose opera
lions cover most of Kansas. A letter
found on the person of Mrs. Weber
who Joined her husband here after his
capture, shows that Estehe, the muir
derer who escaped from the Leaven-
worth penitentiary, is also q member Of
the gang and that after his escape he
was furnished with money and clothing
by the other members.
Late in the afternoon Weber and
Holmes were put through a thorough
examination which brought out the fact
that the robbers have headquarters IN
Topeka, Atchison, Fort Scott, Winfield,
and several other cities.
Inspectors Stice and Fulmor, of the
postoffice department, are here to see
If the prisoners were the same parties
that burglarized the Reading postoh1ce,
but have failed to identify them.
The information gained will probably
result in many more arrests.

The Big Pitcher Has Reformed and
Turned Author.

AuI4OT.
New York, Nov. 29.-Amos Rusie, once
the greatest baseball pitcher in the land
and now living in retirement in a suburb
of Muncie, Ind. Is to become an author.
At least that is the story that comes
recently that Rusie had retired from
public view in accordance with a request
from his wife, compliance with which she
made a condition before remarrying
Rusie after their divorce last spring.
1t was said that Mrs. Rusie exacted a
promise from Amos that he would never
again visit New York city and particu-
larly not the neighborhOod of One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street He was
never again play baseball except as a
recreation with his fellow-townsmen of
Muncie and environs
All this Rusie agreed to and also in
future to avoid bad whisky, indulgence
in which had frequently caused the big
pitcher to ina CINE his wife was a League
ball These Authorizations are said to
have led Amos to attempt to not only
hurl Mrs. Rusie over the home plates
with a second story window as an OBJ
5ective point.
But now all this is changed. Although
nobody in New York ever suspected
Rusie of possessing literary ability he
IS said to have buried himself in obscur-
jty for the purpose OF writing a book Of
his knowledge Of baseball and relating
his "reminiscences of the game. Rusie
has been offered many opportunities to
write about the game and the players;
but according to the report from Muncia
he desires to tell all he knows that is
interesting within the covers of his own
book

HIT THEM HARD.
Topeka High School Team Defeated
Players From Missouri.


Players From Missouri
The Topeka high school team took
revenge from the Central High school
team of Kansas City yesterday. by de-
feating them II to 0. A few weeks ago
in Kansas City the Central team won
from Topeka by the score of 6 to 0.
The Topeka team carried the ball
dangerously near the Central goal line
four times. Twice it went over ana
twice the Kansas Cityans managed to
save themselves. The game was hard
fought all through and the Topeka team
won by hard work and for the reason
that the Topeka boys get into the game
more than the fellows from Missouri.
Both teams played a hard and deter
mined game. The stars were futile

ground gamers they could not be
equaled by the other 20. One art which
the High school teams developed in the
game was the gaining of ground after
being tackled. The players carrying the
ball dived headlong when they saw
themselves about to be tackled. The
Missouri team played slow and the
Kansas players went over them.
While the teams were evenly matched

with the ball were always alone. There
was no interference on either side and
if there was the man with the ball was

THE SHERIFF. QUESTION.

On the 10th day of September, voters of
Cumberland county viii be called upon
to register their votes for the election of

while the party which elected him to
office had Incorporated in their platform
strong plank In favor of temper
ance, in spite of the fact that this
high officer chooses to ignore it, and
openly says he intends to do so, and as
the Republican politicians with the aid
of the rum element have nominated this
same man for continuance in office, does
it not become all citizens, regardless of
party, who believe that obedience to law
is one Of the first principles of good citl-
zenship, TO unite upon a candidate Of
different convictions. In the selection of
Citizens candidate, it is Important that
he should be one who has strong cOnv1c-
tions of duty and OF what he owes the
party which places him in his office, in
the selection of Samuel +. Pearson AS the
people candidate, you have a man who
for the past twenty years has devoted his
life to the effort OF helping the unfortu-
nate classes, that the rum traffic has
kept under its influence. If you elect
him to the Office of sheriff, you will place
in power one who has only the general
good OF the community at heart and
whose whole duty will be done, and the
position of the Office OF sheriff will not
be the subject of ridicuIe or OF charges of
bribery. That large majority of the CT t.
liens of this county are in favor of a
change in the conditions of the admins
tr alton of the affairs Of the sheriff S
office, 1 most firmly believe. OF the third
candidate, can only leave 1T for those
who read the report Of the convention by
which he was nominated to judge why
he accepted the nomination,
