F" IS THIS MAN CRAZY? {"
Commissioners Wares Comment on q
Pension REIMBURSEMENT.

Washington, June 11.-Eugene F..
Ware, the commissioner of pensions,
received a letter yesterday from Jo-
seph A Baker, of Columbus, O., in
which Baker voluntarily relinquished
a pension which he has been drawing
for fourteen years. The commissioner
sent the letter to the inspectors diVi-
sion of the pension bureau with the
Endorsement, rs this man crazy ?"
Baker said he had 4 good military
record. He continued.
when / reached Ohio I felt old
and thought my constitution had been
somewhat broken by my military ex-
posure, and think SO yet. I do not
owe a dollar in Columbus, have been
here about fifteen years. Am a man
of correct habits. filing a responsible
position. My pension has been IS a
month for the past fourteen years -
Apparently Baker thought the PEN
sion system was not fair when it gave
him as much money for merely being
worn out as it did a man dangerously
wounded, for he added:
"Comrade Fisher, of Mccoy post
was shot twice. once in the head, and
1 hear he has been sometimes half
crazy since the Shareholders rebellion.
He says he only gets IS per month"

Manager Gus Alberts has made up
his mind to cut a number of the
Saints loose from their moorings, and
he commenced Friday night by re-
leasing big Cy Stinson and Drummy.
1t rather surprised the fans to see the
Missouri Valley league RUDE Waddell
go, for it was supposed that he was
pretty firmly anchored in Topeka. 1t
was generally believed that HOWE
would be the man to be given the
sack, but he remains. Shorty Hurl-
but wants HOWE pretty badly for his
Springfield team. Gus Alberts thinks
him all right despite the disastrous
record which has attended his per-
formances lin Topeka. Drummy was
plainly out of the running. Time was
when he could make a good many of
the brush leaguers hustle to trot
alongside of him, but those days are
past He has been off the baseball
field for two years, has become fat
and unWieldy. In Friday afternoon S
game he showed himself too large to
handle himself about station No. l, at
which Manager Alberts has played
him. Randolph will be brought back
from the left field and put on first
A fielder by the name of Thompson
from Ottawa was scheduled to try out
in left field this afternoon. The
change is simply what might be
termed the beginning of the second
renaissance in the Topeka baseball
team The Saints will leave for nine
foreign games tonight, and when they
return the fans will probably have to
have an Introduction all around. Such
course is necessary, and Manager
Alberts began it suddenly and very
unexpectedly Friday night.
The Leavenworth Times filled I'D
| its meer-sham the other day and had
a pipe dream, and this was the re-
suit:
Though it has not yet been Off
cialiy announced, it is now fairly GER
tain that the managers and club
stockholders of the lola baseball team
| have completed deal for the sale of
the team franchise to Chanute. In
this connection it is stated that the
great oil center city has paid dearly
/ for the franchise. The price is said
! to have been $1,000. Some time ago
/ it was announced that lola was about
$500 in the bOle, and that it was an
| almost impossible task to get rid of
/ the liability. With the great flood in
| that city added to the disasters the
ruin became complete and the man
| ayers probably thought best to take
/ the money offered by Chanute and
1 thus finally give up an uphill fight for
| existence at least ahead of the game.
/ To back down with a team heading
the column and well on the way to
success and the pennant, is a hard
fate. but lola seems to be a dead
| one this year"

Several Persons Drowned in Territory
as Result of WaterspOut.

Ardmore, I. T., June n.-Mrs. R. H.
wilson, her 2-year-old daughter and
Miss Fay Davis were drowned in Mill
creek as a. result of a wateFspout. Miss
Davis was spending the night with Mrs.
Wilson, whose home was located on low
ground near the water. The rise in the
stream came upon them while they
were asleep and the water struck the
building with such force as to demolish
1t and threw the occupants into the
rushing stream. The bodies were found
lodged in trees down the stream at
daybreak. Mrs. Wilson's husband was
in Kansas at work in the wheat fields
All streams in the eastern part of the
Chickasaw nation are higher than ever
known before and there will be much
damage to property and crops.
Reports of the loss of life and des-
truetien of property in the floods of the

the drowned were five children of
Tony Jones. The other members of
the family were saved by climbing
trees. A child was drowned at Bengal

of life in the lowlanda in the Wichita
valley.

Thursday morning Piper returned

another note and the boy left. stating
that he would comply with Mr.. Boder's
request. In the meantime the supposed
indorser was communicated with and
informed the bank that he had otsign-

WASHINGTON HASN'T HEARD.
No Intimation That the McCormicks
Have Been Badly Treated.

Washington. June 11.-No intima-
ton has been received at the state de-
partment that Ambassador McCor-
mick has any intention of resigning
his high Office owing to the alleged
anti-American feeling in St. Peters
burg. Upon the contrary nearly all
the reports the minister has made to
the department. indicate that he has
been treated with the greatest cour-
tesy and consideration by the Russian
officials and socially he is extremely
popular However, Mr.. Mccormick
has been far from well physically for
many months, suffering from a equity
affection that has led his physicians
to insist upon his visit to some of the
thermal springs in Austria, and as he
is entitled to a liberal leave of alb
sence, it is expected that he Will avail
himself of this and go either to Aus
tria or to the United States to recu-

It is proposed by Massachusetts, men
Interested in the game birds of the

mountain quail of California. which are
said to be particularly fitted to stand
the severe winters Of New England.
Recently c. W. Dimick of the United

member of the Massachusetts Fish and
Game association, has been in commu-
nication with DR.. 7. S Palmer of the
agricultural department of the govern

They are hardy birds, larger than
the bob whites" of this state, and ap-
pear to give little heed to the cold close
up to the deep snow line of the Sierra
Nevadas. Mr.. Dimick and other men
hereabouts thought these quail might
do well in this part of the country, end

is true. The mountain quail, ne says

lily as a table deIfcacy. The valley quail
of California could not survive the cold
and frost of the East. They could not
live where the mountain quail thrive,
and where the mountain quail live is
quite as cold during the months of
frost as 1t is in Massachusetts.
It is quite likely that a. good many
dozen mountain quail will be imported.
Some of them will be turned loose to
roam for themselves, while others will
be penned by the state and individuals
