That Is the Latest Popular
Sport.
Has Almost Reached Point of
Being a Craze.
HOW TO CATCH THEM.
There Are Two or Three Way!
Of " Getting a Mess"
Frogs Legs u Delicacy and Well
Worth the Trouble.

The best way in all cases is to adapt
oneself to the conditions and create a
fad from the first opportunity that pre-
sents itself.
The latest sporting fad in Topeka is
frogging and daily frogging parties are
being formed and raids on creeks and
ponds are planned much to the disgust
of the green bull frogs.
Frogging has caught the fancy of the
lawyers. If the followers of Blackstone
cannot get hold of one kind of green
backs they will accept another, legs and
all.
Today Major A. NJ. Harvey and Cap
tain J. G. Waters are frogging a Waka-
rusa, where the deep voiced bull frogs
chant for miles up and down the creek.
Judge u. T. Hazen and County Attor-
ney Otis Hungate frogged "a greenbacks

Chicago University Refuses to Pay
Its Water Rent.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The superior court
has been called upon to decide whether
the University of Chicago is operated
for gain, or is it purely religious and
charitable institution?
The city of Chicago takes one view
of the case and the university the other.
1t all came about over a bill for water.
The city has been supplying this needful
article to the university without receiv
ing any pay for il until the bill ran up
to $1,000. Then it sent a collector to
call on DR.. William r. Harper The
collector came back without the cash

HOLD BAND CARNIVAL.
EmpOria Invites Surrounding
Towns to Visit Them.

Emporia, Kan. Aug. 5.-The Gazette
says:
Tuesday noon the restaurants in town
did almost a circus day business. the
occasion being the band carnival given
by the Second Regiment band and in
which the bands from SaffordVllle,
Strong City Cottonwood Falls and En-
crowd was from Cottonwood Falls and
Strong City, although several Safford-
vile people and farmers were in for the
event
Commercial street parade in which all Of
the bands marched from Fourth to Sew
enth avenues singly. The first band to
go up was the Saffordville band of thir-
teen pieces. This band was not in uni
form The next was the kid" band OF
Cottonwood Falls; in one respect this
was the most notable band In the pa
rade The average age of the members
is thirteen and there are some in the
organization under ten, and they are
all so young that they were, chaperoned
by their mothers. They wore uniforms
of white duck trimmed in red and their
trousers were cut on the knickerbocker
plan. They played Marching Through
Georgia" and got the most enthusiastic
applause of any of the bands.
The Strong City Auditorium" band
was the next in line. Next to the EN-
poria band this was incontestably the
best band in the carnival. They played
good street music and were well uni
formed in suits of green trimmed in
black The organization was headed by
a drum major in a magnificent suit Of
green and drab with a beaver cap
eighteen inches tall The three bands
named, marched up the street about a
block apart but the Second Regiment
band waited until the other bands were
through with their parade to keep from
overshadowing them. At Seventh ave-
nue. the bands combined and counter
marched all playing the same piece.
They then went to the grove where
regular programme is to be given this
afternoon and tonight. Between this
afternoon and tonights programmes
there will be a horse race

JEWELRY MISSING.
Twenty Pieces Valued at 100000
Stolen.

New York, Aug. 5.-Bearing lists
describing twenty pieces of jewelry
valued at more than 800. 000 which they
admit have been stolen, private detec-
tives have been watching pawnbrokers
establishments in New York and other
cities for a week. So far, they have
refused to allow a pawnbroker to keep
copy of the list, and when questioned
about names, declare they are in ig-
norance as to the name of the person
robbed.
The cause of the mysterious search
it is limited, is a robbery of the country
home of woman of wealth near White
Plains a fortnight ago. The owner Of
the jewels, it is said, treasured them far
beyond their intrinsic value and kept
them in casket which was always in
her room when she slept and carefully
locked up in her absence. The gems
were intact one evening when she re-
tired and although on the following
morning the locks of the doors and win
dows were found not to have been
forced, the gems had disappeared.
Inspector McClusky. of the detective
bureau, says no report has been made
to his department regarding the matter
and when told of the circumstances de-
clared that it looked like family af-
fair

could use car load of frog hams The
market man said he could.
The following day the market man
received by express six pairs OF rog
nams- He wired the frog hunter TO
know what had become of the rest OF
the car load The frog hunter rephed:
Ihe SIX frogs in one pond made car
load of noise, but not car load OF
hams. Hazen and Hungate found
noise enough in the frog ponds but not
enough legs to supply all the county
ofhcers- Now Waters and Harvey VIII
see # they can set new record.
Those who have INDUCED in the sport
say that as a substitute for bass fish
ing when bass are scarce that froeging
IS excellent sport. Different systems
are employed Some who are experts
IKE TO shoot the frogs with a y rlfle,
but his frogletS is apt to jump into the
water after he is shot and the hunter
loses his prize. A boatman can row
within few feet of the frog and he
can be shot at short range a faVorite
way of frogging is to use fishing pole
and line and bait a very large hook
with piece of red flannel. The bait
Will last all day. The hook and bait Is
dangled temDtingly in front of the de-
sired frog. Frogs do not strike at red
bait as game fish do at fly. The frog
grabs or gulps at it. Then comes the
surgical operation of extracting the
hook and red flannel from the appendix
of the frog. It's no easy matter, and
Shiny object in his hands had better
cut the line and allow the frog TO ex-
pire from appendicitis.
Another way of catching frogs is to
'Snag them with big hook minus
any bait The hook is lowered until 1t
is under the torso of the frog. then it
is jerked up and the frog is "snagged'
1t looks more cruel than using red
flannel bait, but it isn't.
Frogs legs are a delicacy. They are
best when spitted on a sharp stick and
broiled over a camp fire, but Frank
Patrick, one of Topeka's epicures.
claims they are even better than quail
when eaten from Dresden china on
linen covered dining table.
Plenty of frogs-that is, if the hunter
will be satisfied with less than car
load-can be found in the ponds and
streams within a radius of % miles of
Topeka.

TO FIX HIS MUSIC BOX.
Mayor Bergundthai Has to Take It to
Kansas City.

Mayor Bergundthal has gone to Kan
sas City to get his Regina music box
fixed up. The music box went through
the flood, and is much the worse for
wear. Mr.. Bergundthal first took the
big instrument to several Topeka
jewelers. and expert machinists, but they
declined to tackle the job after dis
covering the compIexity of the mechan-
ism. A man who represents the
Regina company, and who knows all
about the manufacture of the machines,
is to be in Kansas City this week, and
Mr.. Bergundthal decided to take the
machine to him to be repaired.
The music box was not seriously
damaged, but was filled with mud and
will have to be, taken all to pieces and
cleaned.

NEW CONTRACT is MADE.
Oklahoma Must Pay 40 Cents a Day
for Care of Prisoners.

Under the new contract for keeping
Oklahoma prisoners in the Kansas peni-
tertiary, which was made Tuesday by
Governor Bailey on the part of Kansas
and Governor Ferguson on the part of
Oklahoma at the penitentiary at Ian
sing, Kansas will receive 40 sents a day
for keeping Oklahoma's prisoners. This
is an advance of five cents a day for
each prisoner, and on the basis of the
present number of Oklahoma prisoners
in the penitentiary, 31S, it will bring
Kansas nearly $4,000 year more than
on the old basis.
1t was also agreed that whenever a
prisoner goes insane he shall be taken
back to Oklahoma instead of being left
for Kansas to care for.
The new contract is made to be in
force only until January "a, 1905. A
resolution adopted by the legislature
last winter provided that the new con-
tract should be made for period only
sufficient to enable Oklahoma to build
a penitentiary of its own. and that it
should not exceed two years at any rate.
