KANSAS NEWS.
A Wholesale Baptizing Is Held
Near Galena.
Converts to the Number of $50
Immersed in Spring River.
REV. PARHAM'S WORK
Has Had Great Difficulty In
Securing Meeting Place.
Refused the Churches But Civ
en- q Billiard Hall.

Galena, Kan. March 7.-Notwith-
standing the incIemency of the weather,
Rev Charles F. Parham, formerly of
Kansas City, baptized $50 converts in
Spring river, at Lowell, three miles
southwest of here, Sunday afternoon.
The Rev. Parham went from this place
to- Baxter Springs about three weeks
age and since that time has been hold,
ing a series of meetings at that place.
Many of the Bakeries are now firm
believers in Parhamism, and the candf-
dates immersed this afternoon were
from Galena, Baxter, Cave Springs and
Gordon Hollow, including. like the Sal
walton army, class that is not reach
ed by the local clergy.
This is Rev. Mr.. Parham's third bap-
tizing in Spring river. the two former
being in midwinter. Since coming to
this vicinity, in August, he has held his
services in divers places, beginning in a
large tent, but cold weather drove them
to large empty business building in
Galena, which was Inadequate to the
crowds. In Baxter the city hall was
rented, after Mr.. Parham was refused
admtttance to the churches But after
three nights meeting the electric light
wires were cut 10 force a close of the
services Then a billiard hall was ten
dered for his use. Through it all Mr.
Parham has achieved the greatest re-
ng1ous success ever known here. This
closes his work here for the present.

CATTLE ARE HEALTHY
NJ. C. Campbell, of the Sanitary Board,
Says There Is Little Tnberculosis.

Wichita, KaS., March TN. c. Camp
bell, chairman of the state live stock
sanitary board, is making an investl-
cation into reported cases of tubercu-
losis in cattle. The board will make
an effort to stamp out the disease.
There is no cause for ALARM said
Mr.. Campbell today, Except so far as
the local effect is concerned. Tubercu-
losiS is not a fast spreading disease.
In Kansas it is confined to few of the
larger cities, and doubtless will be 1e-
moved soon. There are a few cases in
Shawnee county and Sedgwick county
and the disease is reported to be in
Leavenworth. The disease is confined
generally to Jersey CATTLE Few town
people take proper care of their COWS.
In the country tuberculosis is rarely
heard of because the cattle have plenty
of air and exercise and their sheds are
kept clean.
1.-The live stock sanitary commission
took vigorous steps to keep tuberculous
cattle out of Kansas a few years ago,
but the breeders made so much fuss
about it that we rescinded the order.
Since then little has been done, except
to investigate reports of tuberculosis
and to have infected cattle disposed of.
It is safe to say that the cattle of the
state are in no danger from the few
cases which lately have attracted at
tention, although the commission ex-
poets to make a thorough investigation
of the Topeka situation"

COLLEGE BASEBALL.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton Have
Strong, Well Balanced Teams.

New York, March THE college base
ball situation this year is interesting in
that Harvard, Yale and Princeton are all
three stronger potentially than ordinarily
and all are leaving stone unturfled to
turn out a champion team, but by means
of widely different systems. That is, the
Yale system is much different from the
other two.
However. the college base ball season in
the east is by no means limited to the
three colleges mentioned. They do not
even outshOne the other colleges as in
football. There's Brown to be reclxoned
with and Columbia, Cornell. Pennsylva-
mia, Holy Cross, FOrdham, Georgetown
and Manhattan. Brown was particular
ly formidable in base ball last year, hav-
ing the crack pitcher Lynch for one thing
and a good team behind him. Lynch is
still at Brown. So the BrunonianS are not
to be overlooked this year.
Yale has had enough of professional
coaching and has gone back to the system
which brought her great successes on the
diamond-the system of graduate coach
ing. Yale has not won college base ball
championship since 1893 and not since 1898
has Yale had the graduate system of
coaching. The only professional coach at
Yale this year is DIR. W. F. Murphy, and
he is only an adviser. The boss of the
low and Walter Carter, George Case.
Harry Keator and other former Yale
stars will assist him. This is a state of
affairs for which Yale men have been
it are founded hopes for restoration of
Hale'S base ball prestige.
Fred Clarke of the Pittsburgs has just
begun, coaching Princeton. and Keeler
are coaching Harvard. Hillebrand is
head coach at Princeton and Frantz at
Harvard. Both head coaches are former
players at their respective colleges. The
at Princeton and Harvard, but at Yale
it has been a failure, hence Yale's switch.

TOOK TWO OUNCES LAUDANUM
William Clifton Found Unconscious
in Kansas City, Kas., Hotel

Kansas City, Kan, March William
Clifton, a barber, swallowed nearly two
ounces of laudanum Sunday morning
in his room at the Fifth Street hotel,
and is now barely alive in st. Margaret's
hospital. Clifton's condition was dis
covered about 9 o'clock yesterday
morning. by the hotel clerk, who, find
ing the BARRIERS door locked. and fail
ing to get a response to his calls. broke
into the room.
The unconscious man appeared to be
dead. and the clerk sent in a call for
the police. Officer were sent to the
hotel who, when they ascertained that
barber was still breathing, summoned
DR.. w. R. Palmer and DR.. Laughlin.
Later two other physicians wer called
in, and all of them worked nearly three
hours before they could eliminate the
poison from Clifton's system.
The physicians say that Clifton has
a chance for recovery, although his
condition is very serious. 1t is believed
he swallowed the poison about mid
night. and the fact that he lay so long
without medical aid adds to the COM
plicatiOnS.

lost no time in announcing his plans.
He stated that he would match PIacke

something which glistened and shone in

retraced his steps, kicking the soil off
the object which had excited his curiosity
He thought at first it was coin. but
when zen. he had finally secured it and brush
