PER CENT OF CASES.
Ward

According to these figures, the Third
ward is the most fever-infected ward
of the city, while the Sixth ward is the
least. The Second ward ranks fourth.
Fevers are generally supposed to be
due directly to such infection as re-
suits from improper sanitary facilities.
The lack of sewers ought, in the ma
ture of things, to result in many fever
cases. But this does not seem to be
the case in Topeka.
The Third and Fourth wards which
nave more fever than any other wards,
are both well severed. Every part of
the Fourth ward is covered by sewers,
and yet it has more fever than any
other ward.
The Sixth ward, which is far below
any other ward in the amount of fever
cases during the past 31a years. has
sewer facilities over only about half
the ward, and this sewer it is contend
ed is inadequate.
The following is the fever record
which was prepared by order of the
board of health, but which has not been
brought to attention during the present

ANTI SEWER FACTS.
Second Ward. Opponents Fortify
Against City Health Board.

The committee Of three, appointed
ond ward is making against the pro-
posed sewer system, will come before
the city council next Monday night
armed with a lot of new statistics
which they claim will offset the claim
made by DIR. Menninger that the Sec
ond ward is unhealthy because of the
lack of sewer facilities.
The committee has obtained from
the health department a copy of the
report made some months ago on the
number of cases of scarlet fever and
typhoid fever in each ward of the city,
for the years 1901, 1902, 1903 and the
first half of 1904. Using these fig
ures as a basis for calculation, it can
be shown that in the percentage of
cases of fever the wards rank as fol-
lows:

TO LET HER HAIR GROW
Why Mrs. Maybrick Is Still
Held a Prisoner.

London, Feb. 5.-The Associated Press
can announce with authority that Mrs.
Florence Maybrick is now in a home in
a distant part of England and under
the care of the members of a religious
sisterhood. She has not been released
and she is kept under surveillance, but
to all intents and purposes her life now.
compared to her existence in AyleSbury
prison, is that of a free woman. She
will remain where she is until next July
when her punishment will end under
special license, and she will be allowed
to go free, subject to the usual condi-
tons governing ticket of leave convicts.
The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from a
penal prisoner to a quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecedented ac-
ton on the part of the authorities. 1t
was due to the mediation of Adeline
Marie, duchess of Bedford, who as a
visitor to AyleSbury prison for many
years has taken a keen personal inter-
est in Mrs. Maybrick and finally sue
ceeded in obtaining the mitigation of
punishment to the extent Of her being
allowed to spend the last six months of
her confinement outside the prison
walls. The home office several months
ago agreed to meet the request of the
duchess Of Bedford, although it imposed
a pledge of secrecy. Therefore. in order
to permit her hair to grow out again,
and for the recuperation of her health,
Mrs. Maybrick was quietly transferred
to this private institution, where, al
though she is still actually a convict
under a life sentence, she lives on a
freedom that bellies her real status.
Her exact whereabouts is guarded
with extraordinary secrecy, chiefly for
the purpose of preventing criticism of
the government for having taken the
foregoing exceptional steps in her case.
Washington, Feb. 5.-In view of the
suggestion that has been made in the
press to the effect that Mrs. Maybrick
when released from prison will not be
permitted to land in the United States
on the ground that she has been a con-
vict, it is learned that that issue prob
ably will be avoided.
The state department practice has
been to admit the right of an American
woman who has married an alien to
regain her citizenship in America on
the death of her husband, by a mere
assertion of her desire TO do so. Mrs.
Maybrick therefore may come into the
United States as an American citizen.

K. o, MAKING Footbau Dates.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 5.-The athletic
board of the University of Kansas at
its Thursday meeting, authorized Man
ager Plank to proceed with his nego-
tiationS with Purdue and Washington
universities for football dates for next
fall. The board favored making a two
year contract with Purdue and a one
year contract with washington. Ac-
cording to the terms now being con-
sidered, Purdue will come here for a
game of football on October 20 and in
1905 Kansas will go to Purdue for
game. The date with Washington has
been practically set for October Il The
propositions of Northwestern and I'LL
nois We're presented to the board but in
both cases the demands for guarantee
were too high to warrant the schedul-
ing of a game and there will be no
further negotiations with Big Nine
teams for next seasons schedule

Missouri indoor track meet in Conven-
ton hall, Kansas City, and that date

event, as Missouri is satisfied with it,

FIGHT WANTED IN ALASKA.
Purse of $4,000 for Choynski and

Chicago. Feb. "a representative of an
athletic organization in Dawson City is
in the city trying to induce Joe Choynsd
of this city and George Gardner of Lowell,
Mass, to HIS town next month to box
according to the conditions that prevail
there. He had a long talk with Choynsh

realize the size and power of the Ma
tIcnal Asss cation. The power of the
association can be appreciated, per-
haps, when ii is known that including
the two big leagues it controls 81 strong
leagues. These n leagues average eight
clubs TO a league, or a total of 16S
clubs. Each club will average at least
16 players. making a total list of over
$500 high class players.
Baseball, as a business proposition,
can be more fully understood when it
is seen that the average salary of these
$500 players is 1880 a year, making
q grand ply roll of over SO, $50, 900. With
the exception of the California league
the baseball season lasts but six
months, making an average monthly
pa roll of over $500, 900. AS a business
venture baseball is a bigger PROPOSE
ton than the average fan realizes.
The total sum of money spent on car
fares alone is enormous. Each club in
each league comes here three times.
Cutting out the two local clubs IA
clubs to Boston three times, making II
trips. On each trip there are at least

and the clubs are often obliged to trav-

pany. The New York to Boston trip
is small compared to the travelling the
big clubs do. Think of the cost on the
trips to St. Louis and Chicago. And out
in California the jumps are even fur
ther From Los Angeles on the south
to Seattle and Portland in the north is

Another indication of the money spent
in baseball can be seen from the sum
paid to the hotels. Figure on the sum
paid by visiting ball clubs. Last season
each club in each league played 10 games
remained idle each club averaged about
IL days in Boston. On an average of IL
days to a club the IA clubs remained 154
days in this city. Again each club aver
cost So a day, $4S a day. Multiplied by

visiting ball players last season. This
sum is exclusive of the bills paid by the
members of the Boston clubs who, when
in this city, are obliged to pay their own
hotel expenses.
Figured on the same basis the clubs of
the two leagues pay over $4,000 a year
for hotel bills alone. Added to the hotel
and railroad expenses are the bills
for maintaining the plants, in salaries
for clerk hire. for balls and bats for
uniforms, for insurance, for rental of the
parks, for advertising, for spring train
ing trips and for any end of items not
dreamed of by the average fan. To this
is added the salaries of the players,

stage ADOPTS NEW POLICY.
New Plans Are Made to Secure Ath-
letic Material for Maroons.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-The University of Chi
cago is to engage in vigorous campaigns
for athletic material in the future. An
organiza ton of the CO. men of the in
stitution is to be made and systematic at
tempts will be tried to convince promising
prep" school athletes that greater glory
can be gained down on the Midway than
at any other college or university.
The plan is a departure in the athletic
policy of the local school. 1t is the re-
suit of suggestions made last evening by
Coach Stage and Fred Speik, who was
election captain of the university football
team at the "C' dinner. President Har-
per Endorsed the ideas of the coach and
captain and the new plan will be put in
full swing before next fall.
I'VE need material here" declared Cap
tain Speik. IF we can get the men We
can have championship teams every year.
We have the best coach in the country,
but he needs material to work upon.
The presence of Horace Butterworth 1T
the dinner gave rise to a Heal of gossip
among the athletes. Over 100 of the eX-
stars were present and many of them de-
clared that it would not be long before
place as manager of the university teams.
It was rumored that the eX-NorthweStern
director had been in conference with
President Harper frequently of late, and
remarks of the latter, in which Re said
that the idea of getting plenty of athletic
material has been suggested to him both
by Coach Stagg and Butterworth, ADDED
color to the reports.

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH.
You are Certain to Lose if You At
tempt the Use of Force and
WfoQonre

You can not force your stomach to do
work that it is unable and unwilling to
do. 1t has been tried time and time
again with always the same result.
The stomach is good and faithful
servant: but when pushed beyond the
limit it rebels. Some stomachs will
stand much more abuse than others,
but every stomach has it's limit; and
when that limit is reached, it is very
dangerous and unwise proceeding to
attempt to force it into doing further
course is to employ substitute to car
~ on the work of digestion and give
the stomach an opportunity to re-
cuperate and regain its lost strength.

GOOD PLACE FOR REDFERN.
Little Jockey Will Ride for Thomas
and Alex Shields.


New York, Feb. 5.-During the com
ing season Arthur Redfern will ride
for e. r. Thomas and Alex. Shields.
Redfern is one of the best jockeys in
this country, having ridden with great
success on the eastern tracks last
year. finishing second on the list of
winning riders and earning in the
neishborhood of $35, 600 for his seasons
work.
E. r. Thomas had several riders in
1908 for his large stables, Odom being
the first jockey employed. After sew
eral races he asked for his release. Mr.
Thomas then secured third call on
Fuller, but the services of this premier
jockey were only used for a short time
as Archie thinner refused to allow
Fuller to ride any of Mr.. Thomas
horses. From that time on Redfern
was on the Thomas horses, unless 9TH
erwise engaged. The jockey showed
such good form that prompted the sta
bic to secure this clever lightweight
for 1904
Redfern was under contract to w. G.
Whitney last year, but toward the lat
ter part of the racing season 1t was
reported that Mr.. Whitney would not
engage him for 1904 and that he would
ride as a free lance. This makes two
riders now under contract to E. r.
Thomas for this season, as Herbert
Phillips, the leading rider at New Or
leans, has been secured at a salary
of 1000.
