WANTED DOCTOR BACK.
Although, lie Had Been -adjuLGcd I'M


'"Ihe Fort Scott C<an) Monitor relates
an amusing story OF an insane doctor III
Hiatviile He was tried by the Probate
Court and adiu6god insane. The asylum
was not prepared TO receive him. and so
for some weeks he was confined in the
county, Jail Last Tuesday q delegation
OF citizens from Hiatville appeared be-
fore the Probate judge and asked that
the doctor might be sent home pending
his admission to the asylum. I'VE have
an. unusual amount of sickness in our
vicinity" said the spokesman; I'VE nave
great confidence in our old doctor, and
we want him to come back and treat
our sick" The request was granted, and
the old doctor went homo TO take up MS
practice. 1t should be explained, per
hans that the doctor had been drinking
heavily, and ii was believed that he
would be all right if he lett wiliskey
alone. But the fact remains that a man
who has been adjudged insane in the
regular course of legal procedure is
turned loose without legal procedure to
take up the practice of a profession which
deals with the life and health or the
peopIe of his community. And there is
something very suggestive of Dogberry
il, the admonition OF the Probate judge
10 the victim. that if he went insane
again Ghat IS, if he took TO drink he
would be slapped into the asylum quicker
than :. cat can bat its eye.

TWENTY-RoUND DRAW.
Harry Forbes and Johnny Ryan Give
 Pretty Exhibition.

St. Louis, May 1.-The twenty-round bout at the West End Athletic Club to- night for the bantam weight champion ship of the world between Harry Forbes of Chicago, the present holder of the title and Johnny Began of Brooklyn, N Y., was declared draw by Referee Sller. The decision was unpopular, the majority of the large body of spectators being of the opinion that the New Yorker was en- titled to the verdict by more than a fair margin. Jack McIlenna, Regan's man. ager, was so incensed at the ruling that he had to be restrained by the police from doing bodily harm to Referee Siler.
 Began put up an excellent fight and he left the ring fresh and unmarked Forbes. on the other hand, was very wild in his delivery and throughout the fight failed'to land a blow that in anyway dis tressed Began. Began played for the stomach principally and his well-directed blows to that region had Forbes in dis tress, especially in the closing rounds of the battle.

Boston, G.; Baltimore, 4.

Baltimore, May 1.-The game today with Boston ended in row which but for the interference of the police might have resulted seriously for Umpire Sheri- dan. n the last inning Sheridan refused to allow McGrow his base after having been hit as he claimed by pitched ball. The vigorous protest offered by the man ager of the Baltimore team resulted in his being ordered to the bench at which the occupants of the bleachers took ex- ception. At the conclusion of the game the crowd surged on to the field and sur rounded the umpire menacingly. One man threw a brick which went wide of its mark and cut the face of a policeman who was trying to protect Sheridan. He was finally escorted from the grounds without sutaining bodily harm.

John Celestin Landreau Files Claim
 Against Government of Peru.

Washington, May 1. - Attorneys for John Celestin Landreau have filed with the Secretary of State a petition against the government of Peru claiming one half interest in the reward, amounting to $15, 5,OOo,o0o. promised by that government to his brother, J. Theo Landreau, the original discoverer of valuable deposits of guano upon its seacoast and Littoral island In 1865 The Peruvian government obligated itself by contract with the brothers to pay an amount equal to 6 per cent of the value of the guano dis coveries so made, not however. to operate upon more than the first 5,000000 tons.
 The principal obstacles to the prosecu- tion of the claims thus far has been the denial by Peru of the genuineness of Landreau's American naturalization.

Food for the Fans.


 Smith Is said to have become very in dignant when taken out of the box yes terday afternoon and last night 1t was rumored that he had threatened to leave town. This is Smiths first year in fast company and he is a good pitcher but he should not allow himself to become vexed when another pitcher Is substituted. This does not necessarily mean that he Is not strong enough to win but 1t simply means that the management does not want to take any chances Smith had just, hit a beautiful three base hit and the sprint around the bases naturally tired him. In his enthusiastic desire to win he natu- rally felt hurt at being taken out Man ager Haller, however showed good judg- ment in the matter and 1t proved to be a winning decision. It is boyish for a pitcher to get indignant over such mat ters. He should remember that he might be called on sometime to relieve another pitcher Smith has a great arm and by listening to older heads in the baseball business will make one of the greatest pitchers the Southern League has ever produced.
 Outfielder Taylor has been given his re- lease by Manager Haller. The team was carrying more men than it could afford
 Sorber, who has been doing such good work in left field. was taken sick last night with malarial fever One of the pitching staff will take his place.
 Wilhelm will be In the box this after noon for Birmingham, while Nashville will probably present Mcfarland. Man ager Fisher last night wired Pitchers Breitenstein and Feeny to report here at once, and if they get here in time for the game one will go in the box. Otherwise Mcfarland will do the work.
 Sample and Kennedy have neither been signed for Nashville yet. Fisher has an agent in Chicago now trying to secure the men. but so far has failed to come to terms with them.
 Tom Parrott Is with Milwaukee. Fisher said last night he went to Cincinnati to sign the lanky fielder for this season, but he did so well the big men would not let him go. He watched his playing there, and said every time Tom hit a ball or caught fly he got sick, for he knew each one put him farther away.
