Anti-sunday Baseball Talk Worries
Him.

The determination of the Ministerial
union, at its meeting on Monday, to
fight Sunday baseball in Topeka next
summer by means of law to be
mentioned to President Tom Sheard
of the Topeka Baseball association
this morning, and his opinion asked
for. He exploded.
''Wi1l you give back the subscrip-
tions of Mr.. w. w. Mills and DR..
Sheldon ?" was then asked.
81 most certainly WILL" replied the
pilot wheel of the Saints. Il informed
them last evening that 1 would do so
as quickly as we get all our accounts
straightened around. They gave it
with the understanding that we were
not to play Sunday ball. But then
they are all right. Both are good
men. They gave the money with that
understanding and we shall pay it
back"
Shall you take any steps to offset
their determination to pass law
prohibiting you from playing Sunday
ball next year, was then directed at
him.

do anything. 1 told you that before.
And with that he "closed the gate
The Valley people readily recognize
that the league is doomed if Sunday
ball is cut out in this state, for five of
the clubs of the circuit are now in
Kansas. Their existence depends
almost entirely upon the receipts from
the Sunday games, and the abolition
of the latter means the Waterloo of
the league.
At the meeting of the Valley man
ayers to be held in Kansas City about
the middle of this month, the proba-
bility of a baseball law being present
ed to the next Kansas legislature for
passage will be one of the most i'm
portant topics for consideration.
President Shiveley was asked some
time ago with reference to the mat
ter He shut the reporter down with
the reply that he was too enthusi-
astic." What he meant was that the
subject should not now be agitated,
for enough trouble is coming after
while.

Obituary.

Miss Kate Butler, who after an ill
ness OF only a few days, died at her
home, September IS, had been for the
past three years employed at the Santa
F'e depot. Harvey House. She was a
favorite of all the employees of the sta
ton. as well as with all the employees
of the road, all long the line. She
always had a bright smile and a jolly
pleasant word for everyone. She was
always kind tn the poor aSld the odd
people. and the sick that have put in
hours at the station waiting for trains,
have always been aided by her when
ever she could do anything for them.
Many person has gone away from the
depot with his troubles lightened by
kind word or act from Kate. She was
interested in the lives of those around
her, their joys and sorrows alike were
hers. She has left grsSf stricken
home. mother sisters and brother. as
well as grief stricken friends, those
that have been so closely associated
with her in her work, and the railroad
employees that have come in contact
with her day after day. they will all

WILL REPRINT IT.
Must Do 1t to Supply Demand for State
Journals Answer.

The demand has exceeded the supply
of copies of the State Journal contain
ing the answer in the libel suit for
school fund commissioners. This Office
is nearly thousand short of the nee
essary copies. Accordingly the answer
will be reprinted tomorrow.
This answer repeats charges made
against the school fund commissioners,
Burrow, Dayhoff and ColemanS for
their disreputable purchase of the
fraud-tainted Comalche county bonds.
The answer is quite an unusual one
and Is straight TO the point, avoiding
circumlocution, technicalities and ir-
relevant statements so often con-
tanned in such legal documents.
1t is good reading. Those who have
not read it can read it now, and those
who have read it, can read it again,
and refresh their knowledge of the dis
graceful deal, the recent transaction
for whose exposure the State Journal
is asked to pay $4,000.

Inc crop killers have lost their voca-
ton, says Henry Clews & Co.'s Finan-
cial Review, and while the yield of
corn, cotton and wheat is below early
estimates. which is the almost unbroken
rule, still liberal supply of
corn and cotton is practically assured
and so far as wheat is concerned this
country is likely to secure compensa
ton in high prices for the 100. 900 600
bushels which it seems able to spare for
export. A very encouraging feature is
the continued growth of bank clearfngs
which is not entirely attributable to
stock exchange operations Another
good feature is the Improvement in
railroad earnings. In the second week
of September AZ railroads reported n
gain of over per cent. and in the first
week so roads announced a gain of over
per cent. These returns. which nave
been steadily gaining. substantiate the
hopeful views recently expressed by
railroad managers. besides demonstrat-
ing the increased activity of general
business. OF the latter there is no
question, although it is strictly confined
to moderate proportions. Iron and steel
materials have been in much better de-
mand since the revision of prices, and
while profits must be on a much smaller
scale still the advantage to producers is
reflected in the recent rise of the steel

LONG ISN'T WORRYING.
Thinks Apathy in the Campaign a
Good Sign.

Senator Chester I. Long attributes
the lack of enthusiasm in this cam
paign to the fact that there is no OPP
position to Roosevelt in Kansas this
year.
TT is true that we are having no big
enthusiastic meetings this year like
we have had in some campaign" said
Senator Long. 1.-THE fact is everything
is one way. There is no opposition to
Roosevelt. Almost everybody is for
him, and SO there is no fight and con-
sequently no enthusiasm. L cannot
find that Judge Dale is making any
Roadway with his campaign either. We
are having very satisfactory meetings,
but it is a fact that they are not as
big and as enthusiastic as we have
had. You can't get up enthusiasm
when there is no contest"
Senator Long is looking well and
says he is standing the campaign in
excellent shape. His friends were fear
full that when he undertook the hard
work incident to making a speech or
two every day and travelling between
times that his strength would give
out.

HAD A LITTLE TIFF.
Chief Stahl Resented Judge Hazen's
Comments on His Acts.

Judge z. T. Haen and Chief of Police
F. NJ. Stahl were the principal actors
in a little comedy at the Skat club last
Saturday night when Stahl raided the
club on the grounds that it was liquor
nuisance. Many prominent citizens are
members. After the liquor had been
removed, Chief Stahl and Officer Ross
were leaving the place when Judge
Hazen. who sat at a table in the front
part of the hall. said in tone of voice
which did not show whether he was
Joking or in earnest: Il see you are
using the Carrie Nation method" Il
am not, SIR" retorted Chief Stahl. II
raided this place according to law"
But your methods. are very similar"
returned Judge Hazen. You are a liar"
answered Chief Stahl holly. At this
Judge Hazen arose from his chair and
Chief Stahl raised his cane. Bystanders
seemed to think that a conflict was i'm
minent, and stepped between the Court
and the Chief Rum hunter. Neither
Judge Hazen or Chief Stanl have said
anything about the little encounter.

Certain remarks of Mr.. Justice Brew
er in speaking before the International
Congress of Lawyers and Justices at
st. Louis about the acquisition of the
louisiana territory, are attracting con-
siderable notice from the press of the
country. He said among other things:
The purchase which this great expo-
sition commentaries was not the result
or conquest and came not as the result
OF war. Not gun was fired nor life
lost A lawyer, not soldier, made the
transfer. The glory of the transfer is
one of the laurels of our profession.

Philippine life at the Worlds fair. but

Constitution And then he added.
Perhaps 1t is because it has been Judi
cially declared that there is no connec-
ton between the two"

TO GET MISS BOISE.
She Will Be Brought to Topeka to
Complete Sentence.

A commitment was issued from the
district court today for Blanche Boise
and Sheriff Lucas will go to Wichita
after her tonight and bring her to the
county jail.
Miss Boise was convicted in the dis
trict court of breaking the front win
dows of The Palms joint and the joint
which was operated across the street
from The Palms between Eighth and
Ninth on Kansas avenue. She served
a Jail sentence of 80 days in each case
and worked out part of the fine and
costs. She was convicted later Of
smashing the windows of the National
joint. Sentence was suspended and
she was given her freedom pending
good behavior.
When Judge Hazen heard of her
smashing joint windows in Wichita ard
being arrested there he issued the COM
mitment for her under the suspended
sentence.
When Sheriff Lucas called up Sheriff
Schad, at Wichita, and asked if he
could take Miss Boise into custody
Sheriff Schad said, You are welcome
to her, and can't you take Mrs. Nation
too?"

LOWER RATE ON OATS.
Hartman Cuts 1t Five Cents Per
Hundred Pounds.

Portland Ore Oct. 4.-The Oregon
Railway and Navigation company pub
lish rate on oats westbound from
Kansas and Nebraska points of 80 cents
hundred pounds to Pacific coast
points.
The usual tariff on shipments of oats
from the Missouri river and Kansas
common points is 55 cents per hundred
pounds.
The rate just published by the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company is
therefore five cents lower than the
usual tariff.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
company is a Hartman property under
the same ownership and management
as the Union Pacific railroad and the
shipments to Pacific coast points at this
rate must therefore originate on the
Union Pacific railroad.

At Leona B. F. Heaston, the Curtis

This announcement is creating con-

heard that he is to be drafted. so he

by Republican congressman, he does
