The Fire Department will hold their
regular business meeting Friday night
at which time they will take into con-
sideration the manner of raising mon
ey to attend the state tournament if
they decide to attend. They will take
into consideration whether they will
hold local tournament or raise mon
ey some other way. If they decide to
hold local tournament they will put
up purses sufficient to pay expenses of
visiting teams, the gate receipts to be
applied to defraying expenses. Such
tournament or field day would be
applied to defraying expenses. Such
tournament or field day would be
well worth patronizing and support
ing for the amusement given. The
Audubon team will be one of the best
to attend the state tournament as they
have the timber to make strong and
fast team. In the past they have
won several times and can do the same
in the future. We hope to give full
particulars next week.

BERGEN WAS INSANE.
Bali Player Kills n Wife, Two Chill
dren and Himself

North BrookfeId, Mass, Jan 90.
Martin Bergen, the catcher of the Bos-
ton base ball team Of the National
league, who was formerly a member of
the Kansas City team, killed his wife
and two children and committed suicide
at his home here Friday. Mrs. Bergen
and one child We're killed with an ak,
and then Bergen used a razor to cut
the throat of his other child and his
own. It it thought the action was due
to insanity. It has been suspected for
some time that Bergen was a victim
of mental arrangement. In fact, some
of his actions in connection with his
base ball managers last season led to
the supposition at that time.
The affair was discovered by the
neighbors, who found the body of Ber-
gen and the girl lying on the kitchen
floor The bodies of Mrs. Bergen and
the little boy lay upon a bed in the
chamber Bergen was 20 years of age.
His wife was of about the same age.
The girl was or years old and the
boy a little younger.
Martin Bergen was born in North
Brookfield, Mass, on October 25 1871.
His first professional enga cement was
with the Nilkesbarre club of the East
ern league in 1885, but later on he was
sold to the Pittsburg club Of the Ma
tional league. In 1894 he was with the
Lewiston club OF the New England
league. At the close of that season the
Washington club of the National
league and the Kansas City club of the
Western league laid claim to him, but
the National board decided in favor of
the latter, and Bergen remained with
Manning's team until his release was
secured by the Boston club in Septem-
Der, 1895, in exchange for ShortstopCon-
naughton and a bonus of $1,000. He
was not in good shape in 1896, and was
unable to do himself justice, but in 1897
he showed his real worth by catching
nearly all the champions games in first
class style He handled himself grace
fully behind the bat, threw with won
derfu1 speed and accuracy, and was a
close student of the game. He was of
an erratic disposition and at times re-
quired a diplomat of ability to handle
him. Bergen was feet 101a inches in
height, and when in condition weighed
| 10 pounds.

lands now being occupied and utilized
by stockmen of the west for grazing
purposes are without the management
and control of any authority with power
and facilities to protect and regulate
the same; and
Whereas, Said lack of control has
led to the overstocking of many of the
ranges thereby destroying the sod and
large tracts of public lands to the det-
riment of the national government as
well as to the stockmen; and
Whereas, We believe that the people
engaged in stock raising are capable of
determining the most wholesome plan
for the management of the public ran
ges and for the correctiog of existing
evils; and
whereas, The stockmen feel that
justice demands that they should be
consulted in all matters pertaining to
national legislation affecting the public
ranges of the west on which they have
lived and made their homes for years.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that arid and semi-arid
public lands in the western states and
territories should be classified, apprais-
ed and leased to the stock raisers of the
west for grazing purposes under fixed
limitations, giving preference always to
the occupants of said lands''

PENSION BILL PASSED.
Has a Rider Directed Against PEN
sion AttorneYA

Washington, Jan. 20.-The pension ap-
preparation bill carrying $145, 245, 250
was passed by the house yesterday. 1t
was made the vehicle of an attack upon
the commissioner of pensions by Mr..
Curtis (Rep., Kan.), who was seconded
by Mr.. Lentz and Mr.. Norton (O.), and
Mr. Robinson Qnd), and other northern
Democrats. All inYeighed against the
lack of liberality in the administration
of the pension laws. The commissioner
was ably defended by a score of mem
bers from both sides of the house.
Mr.. Mahon (Rep., Pa.), charged that
the assault upon him had been insti-
gated by the pension sharks of this
city, who were robbing the old soldiers
AS a result of the latter's disclosures
rider was put upon the bill by
unanimous consent empowering the
commissioner in his discretion to
withhold the fees of attorneys of record
in pension cases where he was satisfied
that the attorneys had not prenared the
cases under their personal supervision
Mr.. Curtis (Kan.) assailed some of
the rulings of the commissioners of pen
sions tracing their origin to the start
ling false and fictitious charge made
in 1898, that thousands of fraudulent
pensioners were on the rolls
eff the present commissioner is not
conducting the office properly IS not the
remedy in the hands of the administra-
tion?" asked Mr.. Bartlett (Ga)
''I don't believe the president endorses
the acts of the commissioner, replied
Mr. curtis Il don't believe he knows
what is going on
Was not the commissioner a soldier
in the Union army?"
ssThey sayhe was, replied Mr.. Curtis,
ct don't believe he ever carried a mus
ket"
Mr.. Grosvenor (O.) interviewed to say
that Commissioner Evans was private
soldier in q Wisconsin regiment and
later Joined the Army of the Cumber-
land Before the close of the war he
was made a clerk in the quartermaster'S
office at Chattanooga.
May not all the trouble be due" ask
ed Mr. William Alden Smith (Mich.)
ito the employees in the pension office
who are out of sympathy with the old
soldiers, but who are protected in their
positions by the civil service law?"
s'I have been told that that was true
replied Mr.. Curtis, but the commits
sioner of pensions has the power to
remedy that condition" He inveighed
especially against the ruling which de-
prived widows of the benefit of the de-
pendent act of 1890, if they had an in
come of $50 a year.
Mr. Ray, former chairman of the
committee of pensions, characterized as
"unwarranted and unjustifiable Mr..
Curtis attack upon the commissioner
of pensions.

A COLD DECEMBER.
But -Four Have Been Colder in the
Past IL Years.


The following is the report of the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau for the Kansas section during
December:
A cold December; but four Defenders
IN the past twelve years were colder
than the current month, the other eight
being warmer. The Warmest December
of this series occurred in 1889, with
mean of 43.9 degrees; the coolest in 1892,
with mean of 27.2 degrees.
No severe storms or pronounced cold
waves occurred. The coolest weather
for the month, except in the extreme
northeastern counties, occurred on the
18th and 18th, with the usual feature of
the coolest temperature falling in the
southern counties. while more moderate
temperatures prevailed in the central
and northern counties. On the 14th the
temperature fell below zero over the
entire western division, except in Gree
ley, where it had been below, but had
begun to rise, and the southwestern
counties of the middle; on the 18th of
1eu DeIOW zero over the southern half
OF the eastern, and in Marion, Butler,
CoWley and Kingman in the middle di-
vision, the temperature ranging from
4 to 10 degrees above zero in the central
and northern counties. On the 2Sth zero
temperatures occurred in the extreme
northeastern counties; thus the larger
portion Of the central, with some of the
central northern counties, and Sedg-
wick and Sumner in the south, escaped
zero temperatures.
The average temperature of the state
is 2.7 degrees below the normal. The
mean temperature is above the normal
In few of the northwestern counties,
but below normal over the rest of the
state. The greatest deficiency, degrees
and upwards, extends from the Colorado
line southeastward through Greeley,
Stafford, Sedgwick and Butler into Elk
and Chautauqua, thence nOrthward
through COffey and Shawnee into
Brown; on either side of this area the
deficiency diminishes, reaching normal
in Ford and changing to an excess in
Phillips.
The precipitation was largely in the
form of snow. The greatest snowfall
occurred in Mcpherson. where it reach

Account of Sums Taken From the

New York, Jan. pa statistical re-
view Of the supply and movement of gold
since the end of 1896 by Maurice L. Muhl-
man. deputy assistant treasurer of the
United States. has been given out. Mr..
Muhlman says:
1.-The recent expectation of gold to
in South Africa has directed attention to
the worlds supply Of the yellow metal
and its distribution. Accurate figures for
the end of 1899 are not yet available; but
those at hand sufficiently to give
a comprehensive general view of the sub
ject. I have taken for comparison the
period from the close of 1896, in which
year the conditions in the United States
production of gold in the three years OF
1897, 1898 and 1899 is estimated to have
been between 825 and $50 millions.
