OBSCBNIIY IN SONG.

Many months age, now full to

drew attention to tho use
OF q certain Hawi iiian hula song,
known as "Tomitom," among all
classes OF our people. This song
may not be considered as being OF

The difference between Judge
Parker and WR Hearst az Presi
Dental possibilities would be simply
this: Parker would be supported
strenuously by the moneysd element
OF the Democratic party, but would
have the unqualified opposition OF
the farmers and workinRmeu OF the
country. Mr. Hearst would have
the sturdy support OF the farming
element and the backing OF labor
from one side OF the country to the
other, while the capitalists with
the exception Of tie gigantic trusts)
could not afford to oppose him
should he become the Democratic
nominee. Mr. Hearst is certain
winner; Judge Parker is in the
Palmer. Buckner class, with defeat
plainly ahead OF him.

iuption OF komikomi, tn press, as 10
the act OF pressing or the coniunc
tion OF two bodies. To press
button, the Hawaiian word kaomi is
used, az we'll as hay, wool or letter
press. But to frequent the pressing
(nsedl, then komikomi is used, as to
feel q fish, meat or person, the
fingers are pressed into the fesb,
since corrupted as tomit0mi By ap.
plyiog this expression to the con-
junction OF two material persons,
when something will be doing, IL we
are to take it 10 that light, then
harm or vice versa will happen, aDd
further, we sayeth not ON this score, I,
for what we have now pointed out
should be taken as being su tficient.
In the song itself, the words are
obscene, the same as Moan elua"
and other songs favored by cur
good people, because they are in,
spiriting, soul Inspiring aud health
giving.

sung by the Boys Glee Club, in
which one long drswl of "To-mi-

catchy, but may be harmless, ex-

The Sedalia management gave as their
reason for diSpOSing of Rohn, that he
had been doing stunts in Gold Bugville
too long and that he thought some new
material would please the fans more.
President Baker and the fans would
like to see ROhn in a Miner uniform,

who perhaps would suit a little better
for all concerned and that man is Earl
Green, OF Atchison, Kansas, who ca

1t was the general impression that
Fort Scott had strings on the much

settled at the recent league meeting in

contract with any team he desired to

ODDS TO FAVOR BRITT.
Californian Expected to BE FavOrite
Over Nelson at 10 to s.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 15.-The bet
ting men are already figuring on the
Britt-Nelson fight: It is the consensus of
opinion that the Britt-Gans affair and the
Nelson-Corbett fight must be left out OF
the calculations. From Cans own state
ments he did not show his true form, hat
ever it might have been. Young Corbett
was not in form, although he made both
himself and his friends believe he was on
the eve of the battle.
Nelson is such a Flooding fighter that he
does not show the class that Britt and
others show. If he can win from Britt it
will demonstrate how deceptive appear
ances are, the Californian has all the
dash and brilliancy of a most finished
boxer.
Betting is expected to open about 10 to
s, with Britt the favorite. The odds are
not expected to go lower than 10 to Z.

BOUND AND GAGGED.
Odd Story of a Reno County Clerk Re-
garding a Robbery.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 15.-Masked
men held I'D and robbed the general
store of Barney Baxt, at Yoder, a small
Reno county town on the Missouri Pa
cific railroad, about o'clock at night.
Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Hooper
arrested Marvin Vestal, aged II years,
suspected Of being one of the holdup
men.
Vestal works for Baxt, and had
started to take the night mail to the
mail crane at the depot when, he says.
he was knocked down, bound and
gagged. He was pushed into the store
by two men, who We're also masked.
Vestal, it is said, told BaXt to throw
up his hands or the other men would
shoot him (Nestal). 5. Baxt did SO and
was forced to open the money drawer
and give $3.50 in bills and silver to
one of the men, who then backed out
of the store, leaving Vestal.
The two masked men left town in
buggy, driven by an old man who had
stayed on the outside. They were
tracked for some distance.

Kansas Game Are Good.

WISE FINANCIAL MOVE.
Word Comes from Lawrence
That the Deal Is On.

Make a Fierce Battle.
WISE FINANCIAL MOVE

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 15.-It is stated
here on pretty good authority that ar
rangements have practically been con-
Guided for a football game between K.
U. and Nebraska elevens next fall at
Kansas City. Whether this would mean
the elimination of the annual game
with Missouri is not stated.
A contest between these two teams
would be one of the wisest moves that
the schools could make from financial
standpoint. With two such teams as
Nebraska and Kansas are bound to
have in 1905 and the great interest now
taken in the sport in Kansas City it is
practically certain that a record break
ing crowd would attend.
There is such intense rivalry between
the two schools that it would make the
game one of the most holly contested
that could be imagined. Kansas is sure
to have a splendid team in the field I'M
der the leadership of Captain Pooler and
Nebraska can always be depended upon
to have a strong eleven.
1t is up to the authorities at the two
universities to bring about peace
treaty at once. and it is said that the
move is well under way.
