LAJoIE LEADS AT BAT.
Captain of the Cleveland Team Passes
the 200 Mark in Hits.

New York, Oct. 10.-Napoleon La
joie, captain of the Cleveland Amer
lean league team and prospective
manager of it next season, passed the
200 mark in base hits Friday in the
first game the Cleveland club played
with Detroit.
This feat which Lajoie has accom-
plished is a wonderful one, but not a
new one. Only once in the last five
years has this king of batsmen even
number of base hits made. But he has
always been close to the top in the
matter of percentage, nevertheless.
big Larry" as he is Familiarity
termed by his teammates, is easily the
leading batsman of the American
league again this season. The foul
strike rule or any other handicap that
has yet been imposed on the batsman
fails to have any effect on his ability
to clout the ball to safe territory. The
South side grounds are about the only
ones in the country where he does not
improve his batting average, but for
some reason or other he has never
been able to shine particularly with
the stick when playing on Comiskey's
park.
Many players have reached and
passed the 200 mark in base hits dur
ing the last five years. Lajoie accom-
plished it once before-in 1901, when
he was head and shoulders above
anything else in the American league.
He played with Connie Macks Ath-
letics that season. But before or
since he has never reached that mark.

Leavenw0rth Statistics Show q
Healthy Town.
Death Rate Is Now Less Than
One to a Thousand.
SIXTY-TWO IN 8 MONTHS
Prevailing Diseases Are Tuber.
culoiss and Cholera Infantum.
In Past Quarter 1872 Marriages
and 1O2 Births Noted.

Leavenworth, Kas., Oct. 10.-Dr. A.
L. Suwalsky, secretary of the board of
health of this city, has just completed
his quarterly report to the state board
of health, which has been forwarded
to Topeka for filing in the Office of the
state board. The report shows that
Leavenworth has indeed been a
healthy city during that quarter.
Only 81 deaths occurred during the
three months preceding September 80,
making the death rate for the three
months considerably less than one to
the thousand.
Under the number of cases of dis
eases dangerous to the public health
reported during the quarter, will be
round: Diphtheria, 4 typhoid fever, l I;
cholera infantum, 5; dysentery, 1; con-
sumption, z. One of the diphtheria
cases was fatal, while every case of
consumption, typhoid fever cholera
infantum and dySentery resulted in the
death of the patient.
The total number of deaths was SO,
of births 102, and of marriages 1872.
The prevailing diseases for the quar-
ter were tuberculosis and cholera in
fantum.
Four hundred and one nuisances
were reported and abated during the
quarter, and the condition of schools,
poorhouse, jails and public buildings
and streets was reported as very good.
From DE-. Suwalskys report it
would seem that Leavenworth is about
as healthy a city as one could expect
to find anywhere, with the death rate
considerably below the average and
the sanitary condition of the city UP to
its present standard of excellence.

Attention. Farmers.

WHY remain in the north and STAY
indoors six months in the year con-
Stunning what you raise during the
other six months:
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are a stock
raiser you know your stock are now
seating their heads off, and, besides,
have to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding requires
the combination of both flesh forming
and fat forming foods in certain pro-
nortions Alabama and Florida pro-
duce in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh producer
and the latter a fat producer, and
they are the cheapest and best fatten-
ing materials known to the world.
More money can be made and with
less labor, in general farming, fruit
and berry growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the south than
in any other section of the union.

further information on the subject.

Princeton 1e, w. and J. O.

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 1O.-The best
defense that Princeton has met vet
was encountered in the Washington
and Jefferson game Saturday after
noon, when Princeton won by 16 to O.
In the first half Princeton did not
score until the last minute of play
the visitors holding the ball as long
as Princeton and holding the home
team for downs three times. At one
juncture the Princeton eleven reached
the courtyard line when they were
held for downs. Short recovered the
ball on a tumble on minute before the
first half closed and went over for the
first score. In the second half the visit
ors were weakened by the former bat
tering and touchdowns by Simons and
Foulkner resulted. End runs were
principally used by Princeton for
ground gaining.

MADE THE GIRLS MAD.
An Efingham Woman Band Not Al
lowed in a St. Louis Parade.

Atchison. Kan. Oct. 1O.-The Eff
fingham girl band, which has arrived
from ST. Louis, was Disguised because
the band was excluded from the Kan
sas day parade. The band was notified
before it left bingham that, owing to
objections from St. Louis union musi-
clans, the band would not be permitted
to appear in the parade. The reason
was that the band did not belong to
the union. For the same reason the
Wellington band was notified not to
go to ST. Louis. The young women
belonging to the Efingham band went
to st. Louis, anyway, and paid their
own expenses. The bingham and
Wellington bands had an arrangement
with the Kansas Worlds fair commits
sioners to receive $3.50 each for play
ing in the Kansas day parade. Mem
bers of the bingham band say the
union musicians of st. Louis refused
to participate in the parade if any
non-union band played in the parade
for money. The young women of the
bingham band say the Kansas
Worlds fair commissioners did all in
their power and showed them every
courtesy. The band played at the
Kansas building, marched through the
grounds and gave various other free
concerts

the American and National league
clubs here may lead to one of the big
gest scandals in baseball in years.
President Comiskey, of the American
league, has issued a statement to the
papers in which he answers James
Harris refusal to play a series of games
by asking for proof of the statement
of Hart that the games last season
were not on the square. Furthermore,
Comiskey demands that the case of
the player in question be taken up by
the national commission. ComiSkey
will at once place the matter before
the national commission.

BRITT TO FIGHT CANS.
Decides to Give the Negro a Chance
Ahead of COrbett.

San Francisco. Oct. 1o.-"T have my
two men in view. First it will be
Young Corbett,' then Cans"
These were Jimmy Britt's words one
week ago. The promise was only lip
deep. Corbett's rotund body has been
eclipsed by the dark form of Cans, and
the Baltimore negro will get the first
crack at the dapper native son.
As far as can be gagged Jimmy
Britt's philosophy in tackling Cans
before Corbett is as follows: He in
stances that he is giving away weight
in consenting to box Cans at 1913
pounds. and argues that if he should
be defeated he will still be eligible for
a go with Corbett, whereas If he boxed
Corbett first and suffered a reverse a
match with Cans at the heavier weight
would be out of the question. In other
words, by taking on Cans first he can
command two fights, while if he
fought Corbett first he might have to
content himself with one.
The aftermath of the WalcottGans
match was short-lived. The majority
opinion was that Cans should have
had the decision. but there was no
hint of collision in connection with
Referee Jack Welch's ruling.

A 2z-Acre Cabbage Patch.

Logan, Kan. Oct. 10.-C. Q. Gra-
ham, a business man of this city,
planted a 27-acre tract of land on the
Solomon river bottom near town, to
cabbage. 1t required many hours of
arduous labor but the work was care
fully done and now he is reaping the
fruits of his toll. Careful cultivation
and a favorable season produced a
crop which is estimated at fully one
million pounds of choice cabbage The
crop flooded the local market and sup
piled the neighboring towns at prices
ranging around 81 a hundred pounds.
A little figuring will show that the
income derived from this little cabbage
patch would purchase several 27-acre
tracts.

The Bonner Springs Case.

Kansas City. Kan, Oct. 10.-The at

board filed a motion in the district
court Saturday to quash the man
damus proceedings, filed by the negro
residents of that city to compel the
board to allow the negro children to
attend the same school with the
whites, on the grounds that the writ
was not properly served. The motion
was filed just as the hearing of the
mandamus proceedings was called.
Judge Moore took the motion under
advisement. Many residents of Bon
ner Springs, both negro and whites,
were in court to hear the case.

MAY SIGN WITH NELSON.
Chicagoan Will Be Asked to Fight
Young Corbett on the Coast.

San Francisco, Oct 10.-A meeting
between Young Corbett and Battling
Nelson of Chicago will undoubtedly re-
suit if Jimmy Britt and Joe Cans are
matched, for the Denverite hates to
see his coast rival and conqueror make
money while their second bout is
pending. Therefore Manager Levy of
the Hayes Valley club will match Cor
bett with Nelson for the first date
which Levy can secure, and it is esti-
mated that Corbett will make almost
as much money as he would if he
fought Britt.

Newport News, Va, July ~, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ILL
ness of fever, had a severe attack of
Inhammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of 1inaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time was not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading paper saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles felt
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until 1 was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and 1 cheerfu1ly recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.
