open with the Saints, but the man
agement thinks it wise to get rid of
the extra games, and inasmuch as
Pittsburg is here, it would be well to
get it out of the way. lola is glad
to come for the simple reason that its
own grounds are under water about
half of the time, and when not flooded,
are busy trying to get dry. The Lamp
lighters are up against tough propo-
sition in the way of park and have
been having trouble all of the season.
They have taken a big per cent of
last three weeks. The Topeka players
are not exactly delighted over stay
ing here at home so much. When
here they have to pay their own board
agement pays them. That is the sit
uation and they feel that they have
right to do some kicking.
Abbott who is out of the game be-
cause of an injured groin, says that
days game against Pittsburg. Pres
ident Sheard says that if he don't get
back into the harness within a week
or so, he will not keep him. Abbott
was injured at Pittsburg and conse-
quently the Saints are not under any
moral obligations to take care of him.
It's a cold, cold world.
The fans are trying to find some ex-
cuse for Innings failure to hit lately.
Two weeks ago he was the best pinch
hitter on the team. Recently until
Thursday he had done practically
nothing with the willow.
Rumors of a change in the manage
ment of the Topeka Baseball associa-
ton are becoming rather marked. The
fans, while not feeling ungrateful to
either President Sheard or Secretary
Logan, think it about time for a prac-
teal baseball man to take hold of
things. Both Sheard and Logan have
worked hard and given time and mon
ey to help things along, but the team
is like a ship without a rudder. 1t
needs pilot and needs it badly. Then,
too, players for next year must be
looked up. While the regular annual
meeting does not come before October.
it is not improbable that at an early
meeting of the board of directors, the
cork will be pulled out of the bottle,
and a new leader be found for the
Celestials.
Dick Cooley of the Boston Nationals
has written a letter to a friend here in
Topeka, that il Sunday ball is an as
sured thing in this city, he will get a
franchise in the Western league next
season and esta b1ish a team here. Some
time ago this same Dick said that he
would rather have a franchise here with
Sunday ball than his job in the Nation
al league: There viii. however, be two
things which Mr.. Cooley will have to
consider first. He cannot now get the
Missouri Valley league franchise here
for nothing, neither can he put in a
Western league franchise without the
consent of the Missouri Valley. Cooley
is serious about the matter and some
baseball developments may

INDIANS AFTER PENSION.
Three Pawnees Ask Pay for Scouting
Service in the Sioux War.

Arkansas City, Kas., July 29.-Mad
Bear, Fearing Bear and Eli Shotwel,
Pawnee Indians, were here last night
on the way from Pawnee, Ok, to
Washington, where they are going to
consult the authorities in regard to
pensions to which they think they are
entitled and which they have been try
ing to secure since 1894. Louis Bay
hylIe accompanied the party as inter-
prefer.
The service for which these Indians
make their claim was performed in
1868 in the Sioux war. The PawneeS
sided with the United States and many
members of the tribe served the gov
eminent as scouts. There are several
others who claim pensions and if
these three are successful the others
will present their claims.

AT THE DETROIT MEET.
Angus Pointer Won from China Maid,
Who Broke Badly.

Detroit, Mich, July 29.-Despite the
rain the Crosse Pofnte track was in
racing of the Blue Ribbon harness
meeting of the Detroit Driving club.
The Chamber of Commerce Consola-
ton stake for 2:24 class PAGERS and
the 2:05 pace were the features.
China Maid, which was we'll thought
of by many for the Chamber of Com
merce on Monday, was made favorite
for the Consolation, selling before the
Judge Denny was drawn before the
race, and only three horses scored.
China Maid broke badly at the first
quarter in the first heat and again at
the turn into the stretch, and was so
far behind that if Angus Pointer had
been driven out the mare would have
been distanced.
The judges took Mclaughlin from
behind China Maid for the second
heat, but the new driver had no more
success with her. The mare broke
again at the first turn in the second
heat and was hopelessly beaten before
she turned into the back stretch. An
gus Pointer had no trouble beating
West.
Joe Pointer sold for $50 and the
field of three horses for $45 before the
2:05 pace. Frank Yoakum led on the
last turn in the first heat. and as the
horses came into the stretch McClary
began a furious drive with Joe Point
er. He gained steadily, but failed by
half a head to reach Yoakum. The
bettors still made Pointer favorite for
the second heat, but Frank Yoakum
had the speed and beat the gelding
more decisively than in the first heat.
Bob Hughes had no trouble winning
the PIT pace in straight heats. In the
second heat of this race Bonnie
Treasure was ruled out by the judges
for foul driving in the stretch. live.
driven by Ed Geers, was a hot favorite
for the 2:25 trot, but Leta had the
speed, winning in straight heats. The
second heat, which was won by Leta
by half a head, was one of the best
races of the meeting.

On the other hand, Cooley is practical

the business. He is the kind of a man

of the baseball people want him to

The management ought to see to it at

On top of that the marker makes such

difficult if the figures were two feet

On the west side of the grandstand
caves about two feet in length should
be built on the roof, so as to smut out

HOW ARREST WAS AFFECTED.
Plans Adopted by Inspector to Trap
Editor Buchanan.

The trial of John c. Buchanan, the
aged editor of the Pittsburg Kansan,
who was arrested on the charge OF
sending obscene letters and pictures
through the mails, and the circum-
stances leading up to his arrest the
methods adopted to trap him, brought
to light in the federal court in this
CITY saws the Fort Scott Tribune The
story that will be told by Inspector
Robert w McAphee, who worked up
the case against the veteran newspaper
man, will be interesting. He told the
court attaches that it was the worst
case he ever had to contend with, and
it was eight months that he had
worked on the case without getting
clue and evidence to warrant the ar
rest of Mr.. Buchanan, as Just as ShreWd
a plan had been adopted by the man
charged, as that employed by the post
Office inspector. The story of the case
is as follows:
A letter was written to Ida NJ. Dom
ovan, which was the nom deplume of
a man magazine writer and in it the
writer used language that clearly comes
within the meaning of the federal stat
ute as obscene. When the letter was
received by the man he Immediately
turned it over to the inspector and
Mr.. McAphee was assigned to the case.
1t was some months before he could
locate a clue, as the writer had taken
careful pains to cover up his crime.
The method employed was to use
soiled envelope, put on a new stamp,
ODnIeTaIe the ola ADDRESS ana mali
the letter on the train. The adver-
tisement on a business envelope would,
of course, bear the name of some firm
and in this manner it was difficult to
get the clue The pOStoffice inSpec-
tor answered the letter and then began
a correspondence between the two.
Presently, to make the evidence
stronger. the inspector, who represent
ed himself to be a woman in Phila-
delphia, suggested to the man who
was dealing in such business that he
had some friends who would also like
to make few purchases, and the
name of Miss Maud Stevens was
given. The authorities claim that the
man charged took particular pains to
picfon, the letters received by him were
not in his name At one time it is
charged. he so far forgot himself that
he signed his name to one of the let
tiers and enclosed one of his bust
ness cards. This led to the arrest
and card are evidence that the gov
eminent has in its possession.
The evidence at the trial will show
that the defendant was engaged in this
practice as business and sold the
pictures and that one of the letters
written by him to a supposed lady
stated that he did most of the bust
Gratis, the middle classes never biting
on the proposition. The government

that will almost fill a peck measure.
Editor Buchanan's case will be sub
mitted to the grand jury at the No

1ation or this statute is a fine of NOT
less than 500 or more than $500
