Strange Alliance. at wichita.

At Wichita the other day Sena-
tor James w. Tapp announced him
self in an interview to be republi-
can. That afternoon he went into
the populist county convention as
delegate and modified his statement.
He said he would continue to be
populist in county and state politics.
but that in national politics he would
be for "Teddy" Roosevelt in prefer
ence to the man who went fishing
on Decoration day." Questioned by
the convention he said that IL the
populists have majority in the
legislature he will vote for Senator
Harris. II the republicans have a
majority he will vote for Stanley.
Following this resolution was in
PRODUCED and passed indorsing the po-
sition of Senator Tapp. The republi-
cans construe this to mean that the
populists of Sedgwick county have
declared themselves, by this action,
to be republican in national politics.
In the meantime this same convention
made fusion and divided the Offices
with the county democracy.

wego and started harness shop.

A Tragedy In Her Life.

II was announced in a Minneapolis
paper the other day that Mrs. James
Morgan had died in the insane asy.
lum at Topeka. Simple as this an
nouncement appeared to be, it never
theless could serve as the theme of
q story as sad and dramatic as any.
thing which ever was written. In
1868, Anna Brewster, then young
woman of "a, was married to James
Morgan in Ottawa county. In less
than a month after her marriage
and while watching her husband at
work in field, she was captured by
q band of Cheyenne Indians. At the
same time another woman, q Miss
White. was taken, and for several
months these two women were car
ried about the country by their cap
tors, suffering all the indignities the
red men could visit upon them. In
March, 1869, they were rescued by
Gen. Custer with the Seventh cavalry
and the Nineteenth Kansas. Mrs.
Morgan was mentally distressed
when she was recovered. and never
fully regained her balance, though
for more than 30 years she lived with
her husband in Ottawa county, before
becoming so bad that IL was neces-
sary to take her to the asylum

The rowing authorities at Cornell are
making great preparations to turn out
three winning crows in the spring. and to
that end more than 300 men have been
training daily on the machines for the vari-
Gus crews to represent the red and white.
This Is by far the largest number that has
ever been gotten together for winter work
on the machines. Coach Courtney is par
ticularly pleased because more than 1oO
members Of the freshman class are trying
for the class crews. For these reasons
Courtney feels safe in predicting that Cor
nell will be able to defend her supremacy
on the water without much trouble.
Cornell men are Enthusiastically delighted
that Harvard so readily consented to be
represented by an eight in the junior crew
race which is to take place on Lake Cayuga
crews entered as follows: Pennsylvania.
Cornell, Columbia, Harvard and Syracuse.
A member of the Cornell rowing COM
mittee says that, In his opinion. Harvard
will be seen in the Poughkeepsie regatta
on the Hudson as soon as matters can be
adjusted. This Is taken to mean that Har-
ward men are opposed to the Yale's ex-
clusiveness in perSisting in holding dual
regatta every year on the Thames at New
London instead of being represented in the
big intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson.
If the Crimson does break away from this
meeting it will mean that Yale will be
compelled to row the other big universities
or give up rowing altogether.
It was because of the fact that Yale
would not consent to let the University
of Pennsylvania in the triangular regatta
between Harvard, Cornell and Yale in the
middle '90s that Cornell withdrew from
that meeting. This feeling is heightened
by the treatment which Coach Courtney
received at Harvard this fall when he
superintended the work Of the Harvard
crews for their fall regatta. 1t is even
suspected here that Cornell men will bring
some pressure to induce the Crimson to
transfer its crews from the New London
| regatta to the Poughkeepsie regatta.

John Flanagan, October 20, 1901, was cred

same weight, October 26, 1902, Richard J.
Sheridan of the Pastime Athletic Club was
credited with the American record of
thirty-eight feet four and one-half inches,
unlimited run and follow. These two rec
ords were accepted by the A A. U. At the
Star Athletic Club games at Long Island
City, November 1. 1902. James s. Mitchell
threw the same weight thirty feet and two
inches, from a stand without follow. This
also would have been a record If accepted

The matter will be called to the attention
Of the record committee, and an investiga-

The test showed that the weight was one
