CYCLONE THOMPSON. "
Brief Story of How Washburn
Lost the Day.
Highland Park college-13.
Washburn college,.

Cyclone Thompson won for Highland
Park Friday afternoon, pitching a game
that was an iridescent dream He
achieved a great triumph and drove the
supporters of WaShburn deep in the
valley of despair from the very start
Even the usually cool umpire PHI
Meyer, appeared to have been hypno-
tized and called balls strikes and strikes
balls several times but always righted
the error
Cyclones smile was always in evi-
dence and the Chesterfieldian bow with
which he acknowledged the rooters cry

did send them in-they looked like peas
as they shot over the base, sizzling hot.
waving up and down, in and out retir-
ing Washburn TO the bench one. two,
three, one. two, three. for seven long,
weary innings.
pitcher Grey, for Washburn, stood
little chance against the terrificly
strong opposing batters but he fielded
his position like q poacher with a crab
net-pulling down several swift liners in
good style. He got a trif1e wild at times
but Mehl always saved him.
Smith for Highland Park made a
holiae run on soak over the fence in
deep isght about as long as any human
being can send the leather.
Anderson made q star catch for
Washburn, picking the ball from the
left field after a splendid half backward
sprint
There were probably 500 people out to
witness the game but the cold wave
produced by Old Boreas and the willow
work of the visitors caused a gloom Of
silence so deep that the Washburn jan
itor fell asleep and forgot to ring the
bell while the audience stole away from
the bleachers Ike a departing funeral
procession.
The game would have been an entire
shutout had it not been for Gill when
he raped out single in the seventh
and succeeded in scratching home be

the storm held sway and a score of YES

ports on the lakes told only of disasters
in their immediate vicinity, and it is
feared that other wrecks, with fatalities,
occurred at isolated places along the
shores. Anxiety is felt for vessels in
mid-1ake, which could find no shelter
from the gales fury.
The worst disaster reported was the
wrecking of the steamer City Of Balti-
more off Fish Point, ten miles from East
Tawass Mich, in which twelve lives were

SANTA FE WILL HELP.
Arranging to Supply Part of Harvest
Hands Needed

The Santa Fe, as well as some other
Kansas railroads. is making an arrange
ment with the employment agency at
Kansas City whereby it will undertake
to furnish the number of men necessary
to harvest the wheat crop along its own
lines. All the station agents of the road
have been asked to name the number of
men required for the work in each local
ity, and to report the same to the agen-
cy in Kansas City. Last year a good
deal of trouble resulted from granting
an open rate by which some of the dis
tricts were more than supplied with
hands; this season the Santa F'e is to
handle the business itself, expecting to
avoid the troubles of last year.
The matter of rates has not yet been
announced but it is probable that a
cent-a-rnile rate to parties of more than
two men win be given, from Missouri
river points to points in the western
part of the state, and with a. limit from
about June 10 TO the latter part of that
month

Filipino Leader Wants to Visit
the United States
For the Purpose of Studying
American Institutions.
NEXT FALL THE TIME.
He Will Spend the Winter in
Washington.
Has Already Spoken to MacAr-

New York May 25.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Agui-
naldo is likely to come to the United
States next fall and spend the winter in
Washington This information reached
the war department in the mail from
Manila. He has informed General Mac
Arthur Of his desire to visit the United
States for the purpose OF studying
American Institutions and meeting
American statesmen with a view Of be-
ing more useful to his own people in
the future.
No objection to granting this wish at
the proper time has occurred to the
authorities at Manila, who regard the
proposition with marked favor. For the
present, however, and until after the
civil administration of the island is
firmly established it is not contempla-
ted that Aguinaldo should be relieved
from the restraint that is now regarded
as a guarantee of his own safety.
It appears that Aguinaldo has been
influenced 10 visit Washington by Judge
Arellano, whose loyalty to the United

PresByterians Vote Down Prop

Philadelphia, May 25.-The Presby-
terian general assembly, by a vote
which showed conclusively that a re-
vision of the confession of faith is de-
sired by the church. defeated the amend
ment dismissing the whole subject. The
assembly decided by an overwhelming
majority to continue consideration of
the question after two days of debate,
during which leading exponents OF the
Presbyterian doctrine throughout the
country thoroughly ana1yzed the creed
and gave their reasons for their posi-
tons regarding the subject.

storm was particularly severe through
Nevada and Utah and in places across

One cold morning this week man all
bundled up in an overcoat walked brisk
" south through the capitol grounds and
disappeared SouthWard on Van Buren
street He carried satchei and had
evidently just come off a train It was
about three o'clock and the electric lights
were still sputtering.s He stopped at the
house OF State Auditor George E Cole,
walked up on the porch and rang the
bell A pull or two on the bell knob did
not bring any one to the door. The
stranger yanked 1t again. No stir with
in. No wonder. No Christian would get
up at that hour Of a chilly night for an
ordinary summons. But the man per-
sisted. He kept yanling the bell and
banging the door Tor upwards of an
hour. Cole finally had to turn out He
did not know but what it might be a
messenger boywith some very important
message, the house might be afire, or
some other dreadful thing happening 1t
certainly must be something extraor-
binary, he concluded. And though it
was with reluctance, he finally got into
a dressing gown and slippers and went
down to see. Out in the hallway he took
a chill and went back for an oVercoat,
the cold. He could not be expected to
be particularly cordial when he reached
the door.
What do you want?'' he asked
brusquely, opening the door just a crack

man.

Yes. yes. What is it you want with
me?"

an came right up from the train seein'
that it was most mornin'--
Bangi went the door, Cole crawled
back up the cold stairs in a pretty pet
of righteous wrath and the man from
Chase county who wanted to buy school
lands was left sputtering on the porch
to tell the rest of his troubles to the
fading stars.
