.THE FIDDLER'sn CAREER.
Pool Rooms Are Looking Up the Re-
cord OF His Races.

San Francisco, Oct 6.-Joe Harvey
and Frank Daroux, who run pool-rooms
at Sausalito. were losers to the tune of
$4,000 through the success of The F1d-
der at Morris Park. N. Y They claim
that most of the bets were made by
a gang of Reno, New, who knew that
ringer named Mcnamara would be run
instead of The Fiddler, and hence they
will refuse to pay bets until they get
positive proof that The Fiddler really
ran yesterday. The price of The Fiddler
opened at Is to l and was cut to to L,
but this did not stop bettors. The story
is that Mcnamara and The Fiddler win
tered on Winters ranch near Reno, New.
There is striking likeness between The
Fiddler and Mcnamara. and it was de-
termined to profit by the resemblance
1t is limited Mcnamara was shipped
east nysteriously and that it was Nc
Namara which won the race over the
Withers' mile at Morris park. 1t is
claimed too, that three men who backed
The Fiddler so literally in Sausalito
poolrooms are from Reno.
Mcnamara was '.rung' at New Or
leans last year under the name of Mir
lam Johnson, when small fortune was
cleaned up. B. A. Chilson, the owner,
halls from Nevada. and the men con-
Sausalito on Saturday were introduced
as spectators from Reno with good
thing up their sleeves.
On April "a last The Fiddler won
race at Oakland, with the ring laying 40
to 1 against his chances.
About the time The Fiddler was ship
ped across the Rockies Chilson also LETT
Petaluma for St Louis with the now
notorious Mcnamara and the mare
Abba L. Chilson tried to ring the latter
as a 2-year-old FLY Untrue, but the Del
mar officials nipped the scheme in the
bud and the mares trainer, Oscar
Rhodes, was lodged in jail, ringing be-
ing a penitentiarv offense in Missouri.
Chilson escaped. The county grand jury
has indicted the participants in this
scheme.

Colored Peoples Protest.

Wellington, Kan. Oct. 6-The colored
population are unitedly opposed to the
separate school system for reasons divers
and numerous. The three principal points
of protest, however, are: First. that the
children will have to come clear across
the city to some room for school,
which will be almost impossible in the
case of small children: second that there
would be a congestion of grades under
one teacher which would necessitate d
poor accomplishment of the work; and
lastly, that if there is an influence thrown
around the negro children by their as
ISOLATION with white children it would OIL
necessity be removed when the whites
and blacks are put in different rooms.
The school board has been called upon
to establish a separate school or rooms
for the colored children. They have met
several times to discuss the matter, but up
to the present have done nothing in that
respect.
The colored people called a meeting at
which nearly every colored person in town
was present and prepared a petition to
the board of education asking them not 20
make any change in the present arrange
ments, for they did not think that il
would be treating them right to show
any discrimination between their children
and the white children or show any par
TALLY against them
Other places seem to be having the same
trouble. Al Winfield one teacher has re-
fused to teach because of the colored stu
dents in her room. At some other places
parents are refusing to let their children
attend the same school with the colored
children.

Members of the Blues Go on
Barn Storming Trip.

Kansas City, Oct 6.-Kansas City
American Association and Western
League players gathered yesterday at
their respective headquarters to discuss
the post-season series Just finished and
incidentally to draw their share of the
gate receipts. The happiest faces were
at Association headquarters in the Cen
fury building, where President Gear
greeted each one of the players with
check for $109.35 as their share of the
so per cent of the gate receipts. The
Western Leaguers were given checks for
$500 as the losers percentage. While
there was no grumbling about the
amounts, they did not come to half of
the shares last year when the Associa-
tionists got over 1920 apiece. 1t was also
a day of shaking hands for some of the
players who left for their homes on last
nights trains. The majority of the AS
sociationists will remain to play the
Missouri Valley Leaguers at Associa-
ton park tomorrow afternoon and then
go with Gear on the transforming trip
to Oklahoma City, where substantial
amount will be gathered in by each
player.
Gear will take only ten men on the
trip, Gibson and Alloway alternating in
the outfield when not pitching. Hugh
Hill left for his home. Knoxville, Tenn,
last night, in response to a telegrS->l
stating that his wife was sick, and
Ketchem will go south with the barn
stormers in his place. Grady intends to
leave for his home in Philadelphia
shortly after tomorrow's game and
Johnny Rothfuss will play first bag ON
the trip. The rest of the team viii be
the Blues regular lineup.
Besides Hill several other of the Blues
left yesterday and last night for their
homes. Hub Knoll and his wife de-
parted for st. Louis, where they will re-
main during the fall festivities and then
so on to their home in Columbus, ..
Gibson left for a short visit to his folks,
but will rejoin the team at Oklahoma
City Coons went to his home in Green
castle, Ind, and Walter F'rantz departed
for Wichita, where he will take up his
studies in the Friends university. Dur
ham went back to Winfield and Will
probably teach school near there this
winter.

ARE TWO GOOD PLAYERS.
Cincinnati Well Pleased With Kerwin
and DeArmond.

Cincinnati, Oct. 6.-In Dan Kerwin
and Charley De Almond the Cincinnati
club has picked up two cracking good
ball players. Kerwin, because of his
greater experience. will be valuable
man to the team next season, and at the
rate De Almond is improving with
every game he should be as good
youngster as there is in the league next
season.
Kerwin has shown himself to be
batsman of the first class in the few
games he has played with the Reds.
He looks the part when he stands at the
plate, and he swings his bat in man

1t is doubtful, indeed if there is man
on the team who is better sticker than

Not until FIyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfullv say
that a remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times day, and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with

Stomach drugging often causes dis

other diseases and never makes a per-

only kills the germs in the throat and
nose, but penetrates to the minutest air
cells in the lungs and enters the blood

IT WAS ~TRE FIDDLER
Horse Suspected of Being a Ringer
Proves All Right

New York Oct. 6.-The Fiddler, win
ner of the last race Saturday, was
paraded- in the paddock after the fifth
race, when many well known horse
men were satisfied that he was 1.-The
Fiddler and not Mcnamara, as had
been reported.
The Fiddler was purchased for $700
about two months ago from j. H
Walker. The bill of sale was witnessed
by o. H. Boeseke. The racer has been
at Oakland, Cal, during the winter and
spring. and his last race there was on
April "A, when, at 40 to 1, he won at a
mile on fast track in IA, which was
a poor race. ..--.-.-
Cromwell said today that the former
owner, ]. H. Walker, was in such
financial straits that he could not prop
erly feed The Fiddler, hence was forced
to sell.
1t is estimated that more than a half
million dollars was cleaned up on the
horse Saturday. Big bets were made
in pool rooms all over the country be-
sides being played heavily at 20 to l by
a half holiday crowd at the track.

SPENT PARTNERS MONEY.
That Is the Charge Made Against
Rice County Man.


Sheriff Davis of Rice county was in
the city yesterday and took home with
him last night ]. E. Ellers. of Lyons
and thereby hangs a tale. 1t appears
that Mr.. Ellers and Mrs. McCracken
of Lyons agreed to go into partner
shin and conduct a furniture store.
and that the first of the week Mrs.
McCraekan gave her partner-to-be $500
and told him to come to Wichita and
purchase a stock of furniture. He came
with the 5000, but according to Sheriff
LAWS the brilliant lights of the pike
proved too much for him and he failed
to visit a furniture store. 1t is alleged
that Tuesday he telegra phed to Mrs.
McCracken from this city asking for
S10 stating that he was dead broke"
Instead of sending the ten she hied
herself to the Sheriff'S office and SWOre

warrant was turned over to the sheriff.
Yesterday he started for this city for
the purpose of arresting the man ELL
ers, but very soon after taking the
train found that Mrs. McCra cken was
also on her way to Wichita on the
same train. He sufn1ised that every
thing was not all right and ke1t
watch on her. When she left the train
at the Santa Fe depot yesterday fore
noon. he followed her to the Iowa
hotel, then hunted up Deputy Marshal
Hawk and started out to find Ellers.

that they followed her in the hopes of

About the middle of the afternoon she
met Ellers in the street, and about the
same time Marshal Hawk and Sheriff
Davis met both of them. They took
charge of Ellers and placed him in the
county Jail until Sheriff Davis started
