One Is Rodgers, of lola, the
Other, Baum, of Abilene.
NOT A TOPEKA MAN.
Crimson Manager Insisted on
Two Outsiders.
Stories About X. US Weakness
Grow Amusing.

Coach Kennedy, of Washburn, and
Manager Plank of K. u. had a confer
ence at Lawrence Wednesday and Sc
leeted the officials for the game Satur-
day. They are Rodgers. an old Yale
player. now in charge of the lola brick
plant, and also coach of the Iola-La
Harpe football team; and Baum of Abb
1ene, former player and subsequently
coach of the University of Illinois foot
ball team. Invitations have been sent to
these two men to act as the officials of
the game.
Baum was selected by K. u, and is
supposed to have no strings tied to
him. Coach Kennedy is personally ac-
quainted with him. and says that he
believes him to be fair. and to be OPP
posed to dirty football tactics. Rodgers
was suggested by Washburn. He is not
known in Topeka, and Manager Leacn
says that the only thing he knows about
him is that he is said to be a good judge
of football.
Washburn suggested the name of DIR.
official, but K. U. absolutely refused to
consider any Topeka man. They had
picked out an Abilene man who was
satisfactory to them, and insisted that
Washburn should keep outside of To-
peka in making its selection. What the
patrons of the game demand are officials
who are impartial and fair and it is
hoped they have been secured.

county jail violently insane. He is said
to have threatened to kill his mother
with an ak, and to have held MANY
persons at bay with it while he
marched up and down the road in front
of his home in a nude condition.
About 5:15 o'clock Tuesday evening a
phone message was received at the
sherlns office in the court house stat
ing that Mcguire was terrorizing the
home, and the sheriff was asked to send
some officers out to take charge of
him. Mrs. Mcclure was communicated
with, and also wished her son taken
charge OF. SO Deputy SheriffS Dough-
erty and Pasewark in the sheriff's rig
went out to the place. When thew
arrived they found several men sitting
on Mcclure. in spite of the fact that

AT the home the officers were told
that Mcclure had chased his mother
around with an axe threatening TO kill
her; had gone to the home of H. F.
Bente near by and thrown rocks
through the windows and then removed
the major portion of his clothing and
paraded up and down the road threat
en1ng to kill many persons. He was
overpowered by relatives and friends
and bound up with clothes line to
await the arrival of the deputy sheriffs.
On the way to the county Jail Tues

His hands were handcuffed to his waist
by a belt used on insane persons. Nc

GRAY HAIR Turns BLACK.
Peculiar Case of Well Known
Leavenworth Citizen.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct 2e-t7eorgx
Peck of Tenth and Kiowa street. aged
81 years, is growing young AT 40 his
hair was perfectly gray. A few months
ago it began to change and several of
the strands regained their old color of
black About three months ago one
third of it had turned and with it his
eyebrows which had also become gray
against resumed natural color Lately
the resumption of ola color has been
more rapid and now barely a gray hair
can be found in Mr. Peclx's mass OF hair
Another strange feature of the case Is
that during these remarkable changes
Mr. Pecks head of hair which is very
heavy was not 1essened a bit bur the
hair seemed to thrive as well while one
color as another
He is at loss to account for the
strange occurrence and says ne mas
never found anyone who could explain
it. Always in the best of health there
is little possibility of the resumption of
natural color being due to disease. It
just seems to be a case where FOR sew
eral years the color oil sacs failed to
perform their duty and then began
again.
No kind of preparation whatever was
used, neither patented or homemade
The owner-Just simply LEI his harr 90
and watched the changes.

More Barbers' Itch.

The epidemic of BARRIERS itch Is
spreading and there are now three cases
in Topeka. The epidemic started and
spread since the much talked of bar
bers' bill'' became law. The barber
law requires that all razors, shears,
combs, brushes and other tools of the
barber trade be sterilized after being
used on subject. The law requires
that towel be used only on one GUS
toner and then be washed and launder-
ed. The BARRIERS claim that the law is
being violated and that one shop at
least is using towels on several custom
ers without their being Numbered.

CHIEFLY WIDOWS AND OR
PHANS.

A news item in the local columns
of the Dallas News !of yesterday
says
]. L. Martin, clerk of the commits
sioners court, stated yesterday that
some thirty odd property owners of
the city had been notified TO appear
before the court sept. u TO SHOW
cause why their assessments should
not be raised. Mr.. Martin stated
that these latter were chiefly widows
and orphans.
Another item in the same column
stated that the court had discussed
raising the assessment Of the Cen
trail railroad, but finally agreed to
let it stand. Probably the railroad
company gave in their property high
enough, though We admit the pos
session of grave doubts on the
question. But Of that we have no
right 10 Judge, not being in pos
session Of the facts. The thing we
wish to call attention to is the
statement that the thirty odd pri-
waite property wners summoned TO
appear and show causew why their as
Eessments should mot be raised are
chiefly widows and orphans. If
there is a class entitled to any ia
xors from the authorities it is the
widow and the orphan, yet It is
stated here that in the great county
of Dallas the court summons chief
~ widows and orphans to enquire
into their tax renditiOns. Is 1t true
that the widows and orphans of
Dallas are the most persistent TAX
dodgers? Or is IL because these are
no. voters and people Of '~'fiooence"
that they are in the majority in this
ease? There are hundreds OF cor
porations in the city of Dallas
which we suspect are not assessed
for one-half of their taxable value.
There are hundreds of thousands Of
dellars in Dallas which we suspect
never find a place on the tax roll.
Why are the owners Of these not
eitedE The conditions existing in
Dallas exist in a greater or less
degree in every county in the state.
The widow and the orphan are the
orphan easily find themselves the
chief figures before the Equalization
boards while the big fellow with
plenty Of taxible stuff, and bag polit-
ical influence is never touched.
After all we are intensely human.
