statehood he will be the sixteenth.

KANSAS IN CENSUS FIGURES

From the Ottawa Herald
The bulletin of Kansas agricultural
statistics just issued by the census
bureau gives quantity of interesting
information about the state. 1t would
be attempting the impossibleto under
take TO reduce to abstract figures,
piled row upon row, the meaning of
kansas" for the Kansas man.
II is anold propositiontha "home's S
not merely four square walls" and
it is equally true that Kansas is not
only an imposing bundle of prosperi-
ty statistics, but is also something
above and infinitely finer than all this
But however impossible it may be to
signify all that Kansas is through the
medium of tabulated Figures, the re
port of the census bureau gives the
finer sentiments that gather about the
word ."Kansas" something to grow
upon.

On the same date 1.-THE value of farm

The products derived from domestic
animals, poultry, and bees, including

Millsap, the protested player,

The game, tho boys say, was a good
clean one. lola batted MiIlsap for

had better control than usual. Cha

on the shin and bounded on the fly

During the game a base runner led
off first and Dorner threw and caught
him. One of the Rockford players
asked Collins: CLOVIS that for a
balk?" Addressing the base runner,
Collins said; "Your root at first;
play baw-hawl!"

Chanute
lola

Saturdays game was lost by the
score of 6 to 4, although lola got 13
hits off Woodbury. and Chanute got 7
off Jarvis and Heinz. 1t was a game
where the inscrutable workings of
luck played large part. Jarvis was
hit freely during the first four innings
but sharp fielding kept the runs down
to 4. Heinz was then put in. He
gave the first two men bases on ball
and both scored, but after that there
was nothing doing. In the fourth
with three men on bases Jarvis hit one
to deep center field and the center
fielder, Crum, ran as far toward right
field as he could go and as far back,
managing to catch the ball in the
game. Meek got four safe hits in five
times at bat, but there was never
man on bases, he being, by hard luck,
first man up three times. The game
was played on poor diamond, newly
skinned with loose dirt about the
bases and the field in weeds
Sunday the diamond was wet and
the. game was played in the grass on
rough ground, water soaked and the
worst possible. Left field was in
weeds waist high. Morgan pitched
for lola and Lindley for Chanute, The
Chanute correspondents sent word to
the Kansas City papers that Chanute
won in spite ofgross favoritism shown
the lola team by the umpire. That is
adding insult to injury. Thirteen
innings were played and the score was
4 to 5 in favor of Chanute.

BROKE EVEN WITH CHANUTE
lola Won Three and Chanute Three in
the IOla-Chauute Series

Smith. Iola's left.handed pitcher,
presented Chanute with Thursday 5
game. Ia the third inning he tossed
nice, easy balls over the plate and
every Chanute batter who came up
knocked one to the woods. For some
reason Captain Meek was not satisfied
as soon as the crowd was and left him
in until six runs we're made. Then
Smith was taken out and Jarvis put
in. In six innings Chanute got one
run off Jarvis.
Here is the score by innings.

Friday lola finished the first half
of the series of games with Chanute by
taking the third game by the score of
I to 2. A remarkable thing about the
series is that the score each day was
the same, but lola had the long end
two days out of the three.
Heinz pitched the third game, he
having won the first handily and being
in need of practice. Some enterpris-
ing young twirler who possesses the
name of Gathercold began the game
for Chanute but the home team got to

that was unseemly and the Chanute
manager put Millsap in the box MILL

"angels" got three more runs of of
him. Soon after getting in the box
Millsap hit Eddie Oswald, bruising
his hand against the bat with swiftly
pitched ball. No bones we're broken
and il is believed Eddie can be in the
game again soon.
Heniz pitched shut-out game. 1t
was "a lack of control and head work
that prevented his doing it, The only
hits made we're when he had pitched
himself into u hole, giving the batter
three balls. and then stuck nice one
to hit right square over the plate. The
batters met four or five of the Sc and
knocked them mile.

CORONER TAKES UP
 TUNNEL QUESTION
WITNESSES ADMIT THAT CON- PLANT HAD BEEN MADE BY TRAlNMEN THAT THE SIGNALS COULD NOT BE SEEN.

New York, January 16.-The coroner's inquest to determine the responsibility for the death of seventeen persons in the New York Central tunnel last week was begun today. Coroner Schuler presided. District Attorney Jerome and Attorneys representing the various interests at stake were in attendance. Policeman P. H. Fox said he asked Wisker, engineer of the White Plains train, what had caused the accident and Wisker replied: There was a train passing and the smoke and steam shut off the signals
 Joseph H. Franklin, manager of the Grand Central depot, admitted that he had received many complaints from train men regarding the signal lights in the tunnel. These men had called his atten- ton to the fact that on foggy days the lights could be seen only a short dis tance.
 So, especially during the winter months in New York" District Attorney Jerome asked, "there are many days on which the signals in the tunnel can be seen only short distance?"
 Witness admitted that this was the case. On the day of the wreck, however, he said. he considered that conditions were very favorable. He said that 323 schedule trains ran through the tunnel every day.
 MT. Franklin said he was under the orders of President Newman of the New York Central and President Hall of the N. Y., N. H. 6 H. road. He said he had spoken to them about the tunnel lights when they had taken him to task about trains being late. Nothing in particular, he said had been done about the com plaints of the engineers concerning the lights. Managar Franklin admitted that the murky morning on which the disaster occurred was the first time Engineer Wisker had taken a passenger train through the tunnel.
 Adjournment was then had until to- morrow

VISOLEK EXPLAINS
 HIS AWFUL CRIME
SAYS HIS WIFE STRUCK HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER AND HE TOOK IT FROM HER AND KILLED HER.

Pittsburg January 16.-The victims of the mysterious murder and assaults of yesterday in the Polish colony in Spring alley, are still in a rrec3rious c)ndition and their turn for life or death is yet uncertain. Vincenzo vizolek the father, who was frightfully cut in the supposed struggle with his reputed wife, Rosa Lax, Is still unconscious. Two of the children will probably recover. but very little hope is entertained for the recovery of Della, the eldest girl.
 Vizolek late today regained conscious ness longe enough to make confession'. in which he said the murder was the re- suit of a quarrel in which his wife hrst struck him on the head with ham mer. He wrested the weapon from her and killed her.
 Francis. the five-year-old boy, who is expected to die at any moment, says ms mother arose to prepare breakfast and when his father got out of bed the two renewed a quarrel which had started the night before He says his mother hit his father on the head with hammer. His father took the hammar from her and beat her over the head. She fell to the floor and did not move again. The scream of the children seemed to enrage his father. and commencing with himself (Francis) he used the weapon savage ly on each of them.

The only important successful landing took place January g near Tuchpan. where much ammunit ion and General Riera were safely debarked
 According to the latest reports received here regarding the wherea bouts of the Libertador she was recently at the Dutch Island of Aruba. She passed January, g in view of Laguayra, and acccidenta1ly carried away the mast of a small steamer. General Matos thereupon paid $50 to- the captain of the schooner ana lowed her two miles to a barbor.
