OF Hiawatha, President of the Kansas
State Homeopathic Society.

DR.. Keith was expelled from the
Shawnee county society a short time
before the Republican primaries last
March. The society did not announce
the charges made against DR.. Keith
nor the reasons for his expulsion ex-
cept to announce that it was on ac-
count of alleged unprofessional con-
duct. DR.. Keith was a candidate for
nee county. The Shawnee society en-
dorsed the candidacy of DR.. w A.
Wehe also a member of the society
and a candidate for coroner, at the
same meeting at which DR.. Keith was
expelled. DR.. Keith charged that the
action of the Topeka doctors was
caused by jealousy and personal en-
nifty in hopes of defeating him in his
candidacy. DR.. Keith was nominated
for coroner on the Republican ticket
by a large majority.
DIR. Keith said today: 'I shall ask
the State Medical society to appoint
committee to investigate my dis
misSal from the Shawnee county so
ciety. I think that I shall request
that I be allowed to name two mem
berS of the committee, the society
name two and the four select fifth
member. I want the action of the
Shawnee society thoroughly and i'm
partially investigated and 1 will bind
myself to abide by the decision of the
committee. I do not care to be rein
stated as a member of the Shawnee
society. I do not care to associate
with people who will act towards me
as the members of the society have,
but I have tried to have the charges
against me made known to me and
wish an opportunity to hear what they
are and defend myself as the Shawnee
society gave me no opportunity
The officers of the society expect
200 members to be in attendance dur
ing the session of the Kansas Medical
society here today and Thursday and
Friday.
This morning a clinic was held at
Stormont hospital for the benefit of
the visiting doctors. Another clinic

ciety will be held tonight at 1870

Mr.. Coburn, serving this year, are: j.
w. Tiffany. Hiawatha, president; Chas.
H Lerrigo, Topeka, secretary; Miriam
A. Swift, Topeka, treasurer.
The getting together" of the eclec-
ties and honeopaths is probably the
opening wedge of a general meeting OF
all creeds of doctors. The allopaths,
homeopathic and eclectics got together
once before, a number of years ago,
but they would not all stand hitched- y
It seems as if there is a general spirit
Of union again. A plan was put on
foot this year to get them all together
and had succeeded to a considerable
extent. but was finally abandoned TO
avoid friction.
DR.. Lerrigo, secretary af the homeo-
paths said: TT will be only matter
OF a few years until the meetings viii
again be general and all three schools
will unite I look for that confidently
majority of the doctors, think IA
vor the step. I do not know whether
anything official will come up along
that line in our meeting"

BASE BALL OPENING.
Mayor BergundthaI viii Pitch First
Ball Tomorrow.

Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
Mayor w. S. Bergundthal will throw
the first baseball across the plate at
Washburn field, thereby inaugurating
the Missouri Valley league champion
ship series of baseball games for the
season of 1904 in Topeka. Leaven-
worth will be the opposing team.
Franklin will umpire.
The lineup will be as follows:
Topeka. LeaVenWorth.
Armstrong ...... catcher ..--. Orrendorif
Abbott....... first base ........Rapps
Kellar. ....... second base. -Luettke
Olson. ......... shorestop. .---.S St. Johns
sissy ....-,.. third base -........Lyons
Bevis. ....... right field .Archiquette
Cole..-..... center field 49,. Nickel
Lining ....... left fieId......... Wopliver
Howey. ....... pitcher ~ (Unannounced)
Howey, who goes into the box for
Topeka, is a new ma n he is how
ever a good man. Last year he was
Springs and this year he tried out
with st. Joseph. A1berts got another
discard from st. Joseph, by the name
of Torris. He too is a pitcher but
not of tried quality. He has some
good balls however, and will be given
a chance to make good.
Topeka will have its first oppor-
tunity tomorrow to see the work of
SISSY and Abbott, the new first and
third basemen. Both are good play
ers. They handle their positions well,
know the game, and can talk.
Topeka will win tomorrow unless
Bergundthals first throw or Charles
K. Holidays and Gus Alberts' speech
es are hoodoos. The "Convicts'' from
Old Dan Anthony's town had to give
up two to Topeka and would have had
to hand over the goods in the third,
only the umpire couldn't see it that
way. That is the story the players
tell today. and they must be right, for
the Leavenworth Times says that it is
not safe for Umpire Franklin to come
into that town again.
The team is in good trim. All of
them got back from Leavenworth this
morning. Every one with the excep-
ton of burst and King, two pitchers
who are trying out, we're given an Op-
portunity to show what they can do,
and for the present it can be said
that they made good. Bevis was
not at Leavenworth. He came in yes
terday from his home at Fort Scott.
and will be seen in the sun garden for
the first time in Topeka tomorrow af-
ternoon.
An automobile parade will precede
the game. The Washburn band will
disturb the peace for the occasion.
Preparations are being made to
handle a monster crowd. The street
railway company viii have extra
service tomorrow both to and from
the ground.
