OBJECTS TO SPIKE SHOES.
Baseball NJ en- at Notre Dame to Wear
Slippers in Practice.

Notre Dame, Ind, Feb. 13.-On ac-
count of a new ruling made by Man
ager Daily the ire of the baseball can
cidateS is aroused. but the indications
point to the result terminating in favor
or the manager. The crisis which re-
suited today came about through
Few requirement which called for all
baseball men to discontinue the use of
spikes on their baseball shoes, and the
men objected to this requirement. For
the past few years it has been custom
airy for the candidates to wear the or
diHarv baseball shoe, and as 1t is con-
siderably more advantageous to wear
cleats the players were much opposed
to the change.
Mana ger DaIy's stand is taken to
prevent the baseball work from tear
ing UP the 40-yard course which lies
down the middle of the gymnasium and
which is used by the baseball candi-
dates each afternoon in their practice.
AT present indica tions point to the
manager winning out. as the track
men and Coach Holland are backing
the manager. Captain Stephen was
not out for work this afternoon on ac-
count of being laid up with a severe
cold. Shaughnessy5 had the men in
hand and new tennis shoes were to be
seen on almost all the men.
Training tables will begin at once for
the track men. and Coach Holland will
have direct supervision over the bill
of fare.

HAS OVER 1900 VOLUMES.
Valuable Old Library of a Lyndon
Citizen.

Lyndon, Feb. 13.-The Record says:
c. R. Green who lives a mile or two
south of town has sold his old home
quarter where he has lived these 10
years and is going to build a new house
and move onto his tenant eighty still
nearer town. With only 20 acres of
pillow land and the balance in native
grass, Mr.. Green thinks that the pro-
blem of an overworked farmer in his
old age can be solved without moving
into town where from the want of a
few acres to busy themselves on our
once active farmers have to spend their
last days in idlenesS on the streets.
Mr.. Green has to sacrifice his ten
acres or more of trees and orchards
and his large and commodious house,
but he retains possession of his fire
proof library room at his old residence
until May 1, 1905, thus giving him am
pie time to remove his valuable histor-
ical records and relics to some other
safe deposit.
His library now numbers over 1,600
volumes and his partly printed editions
of various county pioneer history stor-
ed at home represent a cash outlay of
$500. With the care of his farm off his
sholders he expects to finish up his
books soon. William A. Holt, the man
who bought out c. r. Green is a, man
of about 40 from near the town of
HOyt.

A KILLING AT SALIVA.
Row Started In a Saloon and Ended
in q Street Fight.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 13.-Thomas Smith,
proprietor of a ''joint" in the north part
of the city, was shot by William Bur-
CESS, a carpenter, at $40 o'clock last
evening. Both men are negroes. The
two had had some difficulty about some
work which Burgess had done for Smith.
They went in a Joint and a quarrel
ensued. Burgess walked out of the
saloon into the street with Smith fol-
lowing him. One word brought on an
other and Burgess told Smith to go
away from him. Smith refused. and
Burgess drew a revolver from his pocket
and shot into the ground. Smith then
struck Burgess and the latter drew his
revolver and fired two shots into Smith s
heart Smith walked few steps, reeled
and fell dead in the street before the
eyes of many pedestrians.
The killing occurred at the corner OF
Ash and Santa F'e Streets just a few
feet south Of the National hotel. Bur
CESS started for the city hall to give
himself up but had gone only a short
distance when overtaken by Deputy
Sheriff Meyers and Policeman Banker.
The prisoner was hurried to the police
station and the dead body was put in a
hack and taken to an undertaking es-
Enlistment. The murder created con-
siderable excitement and great mob of
curious spectators gathered in front OF
the city hail.

NEW PENSION RECORD.
$40 Bills Passed by the House in 155
Minutes


Washington, Feb 13.-Speaker Can
non took the bit in his teeth and ran
completely away with legislative prece-
dent in the house yesterday. Inciden-
tally he broke all previous records In
the dispatch of private pension bills.
Under his guidance 800 of these meas
ures of relief were passed by the house
in 1855 minutes. Nearly the whole of
this time was consumed in committee
of the whole. The house passed the
bills "enblOc" under unanimous con-
sent, which the speaker himself asked
fo&.
About half of the bills were DISPOSED
of under this request-those without
amendment. When objection was tenn
porarily made. the speaker plainly
showed his displeasure by dragging the
proceedings. The objection was with
drawn whereupon the rema aiming bills
were declared passed without even the
formality of having the clerk read their
numbers.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Held Accountable for Slight De-
cline In Railway Earnings.

New York, Feb. 13.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
War, fire and cotton were the adj
verse factors of the week, yet the coun-
try stood the shock remarkably well
and there are numerous encourag ing
symptoms. To a large degree the out
break of hoStilities in the Orient and
the collapse of the cotton boom had
been discounted, and the disastrous
loss of the conflagration was offset very
largely by the stimulus it will give to
many industries, notably structural
steel. In restoring Baltimore there will
be great activity in the building trades
while large stocks of goods must be re-
placed and orders filled by jobbers and
manufacturers elsewhere. Buyers are
arriving in this city in large numbers
from all sections of the country and
there is a good demand for all leading
staple lines with notable urgency for
prompt shipment of cotton goods. The
labor situation throughout the country
is almost devoid of friction. More CT
less traffic congestion results from the
weather and this factor accounts for
the small loss of II per cent in rail-
way earnings during January. Actual
business is still restricted in the iron
and steel industry, but there is more
confidence in the future and the extern
sive starting of plants will be entered
more aggressively than ever before.
Structural steel prospects have great
ly improved because of the Baltimore
fire, as it is certain that an enormous
tonnage will be required to restore the
ruined buildings. AS to pig iron, no
Improvement is seen. Minor details
have developed irreguIarity, but coal is
in good demand.
New England shoe shops are still
fully occupied on spring lines and fall
samples, but few additional orders for
spring delivery have appeared during
the past week.
TRADE in rubber goods is less active.
A steady market continues for leather,
stocks of union backs are light in the
hands of tanners and hemlock continues
scarce. Oak sole and betting butts are
weak, but harness leather remains
steady Hides are less firm although
large sales have occurred at the con-
cessions.
1T is not surprising that irregularities
appear III the cotton goods market In
| view of the violent decline of the raw

having dynamite concealed in his
trunk, was a former mill worker in this

MES that he was connected with any
secret society, and says he intended to

on Charge of Robbery.
SaIina Quarrel Starts in Saloon,
Ends in Murder.
STARTED FOR TACOMA.

Wichita, Feb. ia telegram was re-
ceived by the police from those at Mar
ion saying that the woman with two
children and a man, who eloped from
that place, were caught, due to the
work of the police here.
It will be remembered that a story
was published to the effect that a hotel
man from Marion pointed out a man
and woman to Policeman George Dem
mis- here the other day, who, it was
said, had eloped from Marion, but the
officer, of course, could not arrest the
runaways without an order or war
rant of some description.
In answer to a telegram sent to
Marion by the police the Wichita Off
GERS received a message to place the
man and woman under arrest. 1t came
too late, however. They had left Wich-
tia. Inquiry found that tickets had
been purchased at the Rock Island sta
ton and that the man, woman and
children had left Wichita over that
road with transportation to Tacoma,
Wash.
That news was telegraphed to Marion.
also the information telling which train
station when the train passed through
that place yesterday afternoon and the
couple were arrested.
According to the story told the police
py the nOtel keeper, the HAIL. whose
name is Grey, is wanted on another
more serious charge than that of clipping
with another mans wife. 1t is under
stood to be robbery.
The woman is said to the wife of a
well-to-do farmer residing near Marion
The man and woman left Marion at
about the same time and it was sus-
pected that they had eloped. 1t is
thought they came direct to Wichita
after leaving home, with the intention
of buying through tickets and leaving
Kansas for eOod
