FOR TOPEKA.
Good Prospects of Getting in
the Missouri Valley League.

Topeka fans may yet stand a good
show of seeing baseball games of a high
standard without having to go to Kan
sas City.
One of the teams in the Missouri Val
ley league is not expected to toe the
mark at this weeks meeting and it
means an opening for another club.
The meeting of the Missouri Valley
league clubs, composed of lola, Fort
Scott, Pittsburg, Beavenworth, Joplin
Springfield, SedaHa and Nevada, viii be
held in Kansas City this week where
the matter will be finally settled. Mr..
Gus Alberts, who is hustling to get To
peka in the league says this city really
has good chance and that the fans
he has talked TO are enthusiastic.
A number of papers are being passed
around securing names of men who Will
buy book of tickets at $ each, and
a generous number of signers are COM
ing to the front. No money is TO be paid
until the season opens and the bail
bank and not paid to Mr.. Alberts. The
tickets are also to be left in the same
depository.
1t is largely a test to see If team
here could be supported and 4 guarantee
to the league managers that theSa
would be something doing should the
city be given a franchise.
The location of the grounds have been
decided upon but will not be mentioned
unti after the matter of a club is set
tied uoOn. Sunday games will not be
necessary to keep the club going.
Anyone desirine to help in the good
work by signing for a book of tickets
should do so early.

continue this fight. [ know that ME-.
Bergundthal and his friends were
unanimous in the decision that they
would abide by the result of the arbi-
tratiOn boards work. and would work
for the man selected by that board.
1T didn't seem to me that the five
men representing Col Hughes went into
it with just the same spirit of compro-
mise. One of those men said after the
meeting. Well, this means that Topeka
win not have a law and order mayor
for two years more That is not the
right spirit to be manifested. I believe
that Mr. Bergundthal will be nominated
at the coming primaries

Mr.. HAGAN'S DEATH.
Brother of Topeka Lawyer Sup
posed to Have Been Poisoned.

Guthrie. Ok, March 3-An autopsy
held this afternoon on the body of Hor-
ace H. Hagan. who died suddenly at his
home today. indicates that the cause of
death was opium poisoning. His family
physician, DR.. c. A. Blesh, said the
symptoms were those of morphine or
opium. The contents of the stomach
have not yet been examined.
The first announcement today was
that death was due to heart disease. but
DIR. Blesh says the heart and other or
gans We're in sound condition Hagan s
illness was discovered by his young
son, who slept with him. He was un-
able to arouse his father from uncon-
seriousness and called to a servant who
likewise failed. It is believed that Ha-
gan, by mistake. took an overdose OF
morphine to relieve excruciating pains
which he thought were due to his heart
but which his physician assured him
were caused by rheumatism of the mus
cles of the chest. The fear that his
heart was affected caused him to brood
over his supposed afiiction. The au-
topsy showed that his heart trouble was
imaginary.
The fact became public today that
Hagan carried about $780, 900 in life in
suranee. His last policy for $4,000 was
issued by the New York Life Insurance

How the Senate Found a Rem:
edy for Coal Famines.

The action of Senator Noftzger and
the senate in general in backing up and
crossing themselves ON the coal
famine bill at the behest of the rail-
roads, is occasioning no little criticism.
The proposition of the senate is to Vir-
tuaIy legaIize the cOnfScatiOn of coal
and viii have little effect in restraining
the railroads from taking all the coal
they happen to want from private per
sons, regardless of the suffering it may
entail.
If a child were starving and should
steal a loaf of bread it would be crime
in the eyes of the law. but it is made
perfectly legal for railroad company
TO steal all the coal it wants from dea-
lers or individuals to which 1t may be
carrying the coal. lin case of energen-
cy'' and the railroad itself is the judge
Of the emergency"
The penalty in the bill which was first
proposed may not have been exactly
proper. but it could have been easily
remedied without virtually legalizing
conhscation. The penalty for the crime
should be nominal but the dealer from
whom the coal is confscated should be
compense him for loss of trade, and to
restrain the railroad companies from
taking coal except in a real emergency
During the past winter there have
been dealers in central and western
Kansas who have been weeks in getting
a single order for coal filled, although it
had all been sold at the time Of the or
der People actually suffered for want
Of coal yet the railroads went right on
confiscating Notwithstanding the pro
tests that were made.

company about ten days ago. The poll
cy was held up for time as the COM
pany doubted Hagan's ability to carry
so much insurance. He was examined
for the insurance last December by DR..
Z. O. Baker, who said today that he
found no evidence of heart trouble.
There were few persons acquainted
with public men in Oklahoma who did
not know Horace Hagan. His anna bill
ty and energy enabled him to make
friends quickly, and his courtesy and
kindness retained their friendship. He
went to Oklahoma from St Marys, Kan
in 1889, and ever since had been engaged
in developing the territory's resources
and telling of the opportunities offered
to industrious men and women He
Travelled often to Kansas City where il
was his custom to tell newspaper men
of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Hagan took a keen interest in ter
ritorial political affairs, and no Demo-
cratic congressional convention was full
" equipped without him. He was a per-
sonal friend of William j. Bryan. and
frequently entertained him at his home
on Mr.. Byans visits in Oklahoma. Al
though much interested in Oklahoma
politics, Mr.. Hagan never held Office. He
was 43 years old and was born in Mon
