The Eagle office is the recipient of
a freak lot of beans known as the
cOrdwood kind. A bunch of them
were brought to this Office by Oscar F.
Ponce, who raised them at 1147 South
Laura avenue.

nine inches in length and are filled
with beans from end to end. They are
the largest and the finest that has
been brought before the eyes of the
farmer editor. All that is regretted
by the reportorial force is that the
beans were not brought to the Office
all ready to eat.-Wichita Eagle.

his stock farm here the most extern
sive string of yearlings ever collected
by a western turfman for racing pur-
poses and it is said 1905 will see him
campaigning more 2-year-OldS than
any other half-dozen stables combined
in the western country. He has to
date purchased thirty yearlings at
public and private sales and he has
fifty additional colts and FLIES of
his own breeding.
In numbers his horses in training
next season will, it is said, exceed that
of any aggregation which ever raced
in one year, even by such turfmen
as August Belmont. James r. Keene
or the late w. c. Whitney. Corrigan's
plans for this big stable are construed
by turfmen to mean that he is build
ing his hopes on a racing bill in I'LL
nois which will make the sport Sc
cure in Chicago and the immediate
vicinity for year Sto come.
In two seasons the Inflated High

From the morning Capital: 1.-THE
Star hasn't printed the correct score
of a game played in Topeka this sea-
SON. This is the concluding sentence
of a paragraph of abuse of the official
scorer of the league games in Topeka.
The fact is that the Kansas City Star
received its scores from the Capital
until that paper discovered that they
were SO VIGOROUSLY bad and incorrect
that 1T was not fair to the players or
the public and then the Capital was
dropped like a hot potato and since
then the scores have come from the
official score keeper. incidentally il
may be remarked that the Star pays
SO cents a game for the scores-no
wonder the sporting editor of the
morning paper feels aggrieved.
