Each organization made a good show
ing. The drills were long drawn out ana
were a little severe on some of the guaroS
that are not accustomed to mixing. All
are enjoying the camp life.
The Texas boys are suffering from what
they call chilly weather, but which the
other troops consider very comfortabie
Some of the Texans were suffering from
bad colds. but they insisted on going with
their companies in the drills.
The Kansas boys are now in camp.
Their experience has been no difIerent
from that of the other troops with the ex-
ception that Captain Fitzpatrick OF Com
pany NJ, Second Kansas, from Salina, lost
his tent and part of his outfit by IRE last
night and that the troops had to fight sew
eral prairie fires.
Near the headquarters of the Kansas
troops the Y. NJ. c. A. has pitched large
tent especially for the Kansas soldiers

STOMACH REMOVED
By Rare Operation, But Man Still
Lives and Is Comfortable.

William Moss. a farmer living near
Pomeroy, Iowa. left the Samaritan hos
pital for home without a stomach, yet
feeling we'll and weighing 10 pounds
more than he did three weeks ago.
The operation of removing Moss stom-
ach was performed at the hospital lit
tie more than three weeks ago. Moss Is
So years old. and had always been well
until few months ago. He began to
have trouble with his stomach ana final
~ the physicians told him he was SUI
fering with cancer He grew. worse, and
when he started for Sioux City he had
lost As pounds. The cancer had grown
so large that the outlet of the stomach
into the intestines was INSTRUCTED. In
fact the man was dying of starvation
when he arrived at the city hospital.
The surgeon found that the man was
apparently in good physical condition
with the exception of the cancer ana &c
terrnined to resort to the operation. The
stomach was cut out SO as to leave a
fiaring end of the gullet. and at the low
err end was cut off where it narrows to
stomach had been removed the funnel
shaped part attached to the esopnagus
was stitched so as to form a small sack
with a small orifice. Then came the
difficult part of the operation. This
orifice and the open end of the intestine
had to be joined together in such d way
as to make an air-tight and water
tight passage. BY delicate stitching this
was accomplished and the intestinal
tract was once more intact.
The wound was closed and after a few
DAYS in which the Joint in the intestines
was allowed to heal the man was given
food Gradually the amount of food was
increased. until now Moss eats as much
as he desires.-New York Herald.

no CLOSE TIE JoINTs
Mayor Gilbert Will Try to Stop the
Rum Traffic.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 20.-Mayor
Gilbert issued an order atnoon yester-
day directing Chief of Police Murray to
close every saloon in that city. and to
investigate the gambling situation.
Where crap games, card tables and
other devices are found he is to stamp
them out also.
The order is to go into effect at $50
reports for day duty will be instructed
at roll call to inform the proprietors of
all the places on his beat of the order.
and demand that the Joints be closed
at once. The breWeries will also be
notified, and win be requested to cancel
all orders to furnish beer to dealers in
Kansas City, Kan.
The order is sweeping, and is to be
in effect indefinitely. 1t affects 120
Joints at the same time disemploy-
ing about 300 bartenders and destroying
a handsome profit to the breweries.
The Joints" in Kansas City, Kan,
have paid the city treasury $50 month
each, thus altogether furnishing a rev
enue of about $4,000 a month, or $4,000
a year. This revenue has for several
years paid all the expenses of the police
department and partially betrayed the
expenses of the fire department Tne
city has practically no other source OF
revenue except that which is collected
for occupation taxes and the various
other forms of licenses required by or
dinances. This altogether amounts 10
about 100000 a year.
Mayor Gilbert said last night that
some method would necessarily have to
be adopted by which a revenue could
be provided to supply the place of that
lost by closing the Joints Just what
method will be adopted the mayor was
not prepared to say at this time How
ever he stated that, considering the
present condition of the city's hnancial
affairs. this revenue will have to be
taxed in some manner on the people:
The mayor figures that an average OF
81 per capita in excess of what has
heretofore been required, VIII nave 10

It is not likely that scrip will be
issued in any very great quantity be
cause there is more of the city paper

whole. the financial condition OF ran

by reason of the great expense oceas-
toned by the Kaw river flood.

The Car of Fruit for the Kansas
Exhibit at st. Louis.
Has Left for the Exposition
GaiIy Decorated.
FINE SHOWING MADE.
Fruit Wrapped Between Tissue
and Paraffine Papers.
Specimens Mostly from Sedg-
wick and Sumner Counties.

Wichita Kan. Oct 2O-The car con-
tanning samples of Kansas fruit for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition has been
shipped over the Missouri Pacific rail-
road to st. Louis. The bold Packing
company has donated the use of one of
their new refrigerator cars for this pur-
pose. It is well decorated and newly
painted and win attract attention.
The car. which contains twenty to
twenty-five varieties of apples, including
Winesaps, Ben Davis. Missouri Pippins,
Jonathan, Grimes Golden, Mammoth
Blade. YorkinteriaI and Little Romantic,
will be transported direct to the World $
fair grounds, where the fruit will be
placed in cold storage until the fair
opens.
Concerning his work and the ship
ment, w. F. Schen. commissioner of
horticulture for Kansas. said yesterday:
This has been a big job to sort and
of paper, being tissue and parah1ne. Had
1t not been for my own men at the nur-
sery I would have fallen down no doubt,
as help has been scarce, especially dur
ing fair time and numerous reunions
going on over the state.
MANY of the fruit growers over the
state said I would not find a car load
or more of specimen fruit, but have
succeeded and will ship more later on.
When you take into consideration
that this has not been a fruit year, L
am more than pleased with the work so
Tar and have in addition preserved near
ly 800 Jars of peaches, ounces, pears,
grapes and plums. and they Will COM
pare, in my opinion, with any of the
states of the Union, We will also come
to the front with a nice display of jel-
lies jams, strained honeys, pickles. etc.
This car of fruit has been gathered
mostly frNr7. SedCTxicE with
some from Sumner and Cowley counties,
and a few bushels from other parts OF
the state. The crop being a failure gen
orally over the state this year has made
it very difficult to get samples. 1t is
demonstrated beyond a doubt that Sedg-
wick county and the valley of the Ar
kansas is as good an apple country as in
the United States. and the time is not
far distant, 1 think, when this valley
will be planted mostly to orchards of not
only apple but other fruits

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 20.-The game be-
tween the College OF Emporia and the
State Normal school here resulted in a
score of Il to in favor of the Normal
But both sides put UP a clean, SWIFT
and interesting game. The college as a
whole played faster ball than the Nor
NAL, but the difference in speed was not
enough to overcome the Normals' adj
vantage in weight, and team work.
Both teams were strong on offensive
work, but weak on defensive.
The teachers interference was excel
lent, and a good many of their gains
We're made on end runs. In the first
half the Normals scored and kicked
goal. The teachers kept the ball in the
college territory most of the time. Aside
from the touchdown the feature of the
first half was a rs yard run by LoW-
then, who made several other good END
runs during the game. The half ended
with the ball in possession OF the
Preachers on their 40-yard line. In the
second half Mcfarland got away from
the Preachers and made 46 yard run
to the goal two minutes after the bah
was put into play For the remainder
of the half the ball was kept in the Nor
NAL territory and the game ended with
the ball within four yards of the Nor
NAL goal. The other features OF TINS
half were the excellent tackling done py

and without paying much attention to
the surroundings. AS I turned the cor

great mollusks, or sea clans, which

At Brighton Beach Tracks.

New York, Oct. 20.-J. A. brakes

stakes for 2-year-olds. 512 furlongs. at
Brighton Beach The favorite, Wotan,
was beaten head. The Drake FLY also
equaled the track record for the dis
lance in LOS 3-5.
The Brighton cup at two miles and a
quarter which is to be run today, will
be the most interesting race this week
at Brighton Beach. Hermis, who won
the Brighton preliminary. is doing good
work for the cup. as are also Major
Daingerfield and Igniter, who finished
behind him. The impression among
many race experts is that Hermis will
not stay the distance.
One of the chief reasons for Stafwart's
purchase by E. r. Thomas is to be seen
by a look over the entries eligible in the
colt division of the Produce stakes, to
be run at Brighton on Saturday next,
the last day of the meeting. This stake,
worth in the aggregate nearly $1,000,
looks to be at the mercy of Stalwart,
who is one of the few colts of any class
still in the race.

EXPECT CHALLENGE FOR CUP
New York Yacht Club Is Likely to
Hear from John Lever.

New York, Oct. 20--Another challenge
for the Americas cup is expected daily
at the New York Yacht club, and it now
seems more than likely that an interna-
tional race will be sailed next year,
probably in September. The challenger
will be John Lever. millionaire manu-
facturer of Birkenhead, England.
To lift the cup has been Mr.. Lever S
ambition for several years. He was
about to challenge when he heard that
Sir Thomas would make the third at
tempt, and agreed to step aside. He is
a member of several important clubs,
but it is probable that he will challenge
in the name of the Royal Clyde Yacht
club.
It is not likely that the New York
Yacht club will build new defender.
The Reliance is considered almost per-
feet.

An Eel Stopped the Mill.

It is a little late in the season for
fish stories but here is an authentic
eel story. This morning the Soden
mill was stopped by an eel. The eel
measured just forty inches long and
its body was nine and one-half inches
in circumference 1t started to go
through the waterway under the mill
and was caught in one of the big water
wheels After taking a rather speedy
merry round ride on the wheel
the eel being entangled in the wheel,
impeded the revolution of the wheel so
much that the men in the mill were
aware that something had gone wrong.
The mill was stopped and the men on
investigating found the big eel tangled
up in the wheel. After 1t was taken
ont the mill was set to work again. The
fish was big enough to make a church
dinner. 1t is undoubtedly the largest
eel caught in this county.-Emporia
