STILL AFTER ABBOTT.
Topeka Baseball Management Wants
Him Very Much.

The management of the Topeka base
ball team set to work this morning to
secure the release of Abbott from Pitts
burg for the purpose of bringing him
here and making him field manager
and captain. He is an "old head and
playing a great game both in fielding
and hitting at the present time. In
the struggle to get the Saints on their
pediS extremiS, Abbott, once fired by
Topeka, is looked to for resurrection.
The players all like him and ask for
his return. They say that they can and
will play good ball under mis- direction.
At Pfttsburg he has had fair success,
although little judgment can be taken
of his work there, because of the dis
organized condition of the team under
its change of management, which oc-

Sedalia and says he wants to come
back to Topeka. Some more changes
would follow if Abbott takes hold. but
to conjecture about them would be
mere idle gossip.

it had been the privilege of Uncle Eph
Slater to attend his master, body
servant. upon several extended journeys.

locality was enough to start him on his
"reminiscences, and so Jealous did he grow

scrutiny of the law showed that such

a dead wall preventing effective fusion.
Which faction had right to claim the
list of electors? If title were establish
ed by one, would the other nominate
another set of electors, with such a
division of strength as to elect Demo-
cratic electors? Not few robust Wis
consin Republicans have been reduced
to the verge of insanity by the intri-
cacy of the problem
The last proposal which has been
made is the most novel of the series.
Eleven of the thirteen electors nom
mated by the two conventions having
expressed a determination to go on the
ticket under the LaFollette designa-
ton or nowhere, the suggestion is that
the other two should join them, and
that the entire thirteen snail then ap-
pear as the eleven demand, with no
names of electors appearing on the
'Stalwart'' ticket-an address by the
state committee of the "Stalwarts'' in
structing the latter to ignore the circle
at the head of the ticket, to vote for
Cook in the square, and then to cross
over to the other column and vote for
the. electors. 1t is claimed that under
this arrangement the entire Republi-
can vote could be concentrated on one
set of electors without either faction
surrendering. Having captured eleven
of the thirteen electors, the La Toilette
faction asserts the right to place the
names in its column. The difficulty of
the plan is, of course, the possibility
that the intelligent voter will arrive
at the polling booths ignorant as to
the arrangement and at once proceed
to mCddle things. 1t is to be recalled
at one election in New York, under
the Australian system. no less than
10000 ballots were thrown out as de-
fective.

p. III. Forbes Wants Ball Players Ar
rested for Working on Sunday.

P. H. Forbes has suggested to County
Attorney Hungate- that he prosecute
the Topeka Saints for working. on Sum-.
day if they play ball next Sunday.
Mr.. Forbes thinks that if the Saints
play ball they will be working. That
is a question for discussion whether
they play or whether they work. If
Mr.. Forbes idea is carried out then
the street car company will have to
stop running on Sunday, the gus COM
pany and the Topeka Water company
and the electric light plants will have
to stop. perhaps. and even the ministers
who have not already gone away on
summer vacations will have to cease
preaching. That is the argument of
the Sunday baseball enthusiast. Coun-
ty Attorney Hungate has announced
that he will issue a complaint for the
arrest of the players if any one re-
quests it, Mr.. Forbes declined to swear
to a complaint.

Good Stories by Judge Brewer.

Justice David ]. Brewer of the supreme
court of the United States said that the
best way to reach the young men is TO
send the young women after them; that
had been a potent factor in catching the
elusive man. and that they were as
strong now as they ever We're. He told
the story of the religious man who took
his Bible in one hand and his little son
by the other and went for walk and in
struction. They came upon a bevy Of
beautiful young girls playing in the for
est and the boy asked what they were.
Geese, my son." replied the father.
"Oh, eaten me one, father; catch me
one" cried the boy.
He illustrated the plan of getting Chris
tions in droves by a story to the effect
that an Ohio regiment and an Indiana
during the civil war, and that religion
struck the former, during which time
forty of the soldiers were baptized
order so men baptized!' commanded
the colonel of the Indiana regiment; no
blamed Ohio regiment shall have more
Christians than Indiana. = Baltimore

STUBS sHoRN OF POWER.
Now He Couldn't Appoint Executive
Committee If He Wanted To.

The report has been published that
Chairman Stubs has refused to APP
point an executive committee, and the
story has caused Mr.. Stubs some en-
'barrassment. 1t is quite true that he
has not found an executive committee
necessary in his business, and he had
not appointed one up to the time the
Republican state committee met last
night. Therefore the committee relieved
MIN of further embarrassment by re-
scinding its former action authorizing
him to appoint the committee.
/ r. N Allen made the motion to re-
scind. He said the mover of the orig
inal motion was willing to have it re-
scinded, as an executive committee is
unnecessary. J. N. Dolley seconded the
motion to rescind. S He was the mover
of the original motion. The motion was
passed and no questions asked. Mr.
Stubs now has no authority to ap
point an xecutfve@committee.

AN AUSTRALIAN BALLOT TEST

IFrom the n. Y. CommerciaI-Adver-
tiserl
The Democratic hope that the thirteen
electoral votes of Wisconsin may be
lost by President Roosevelt is not based
on a belief that the majority of the
voters of Wisconsin prefer Judge Par
ker. On the contrary, the Republicans
assert and the Democratic leaders of
Wisconsin concede that the actual
Roosevelt majority in Wisconsin is
from $4,000 to 100000. Notwithstanding
the division of the Wisconsin Republi~
cans into two closely organized factions
each with it's state ticket. there would
be no doubt concerning the national
ticket were it not. as has been hereto
fore explained in these columns, for a
Wisconsin law which forbids a candf-
dates name appearing more than once
on the official ballot
The two Republican state conven-
tions of Wisconsin this year, both the
one that nominated La Toilette and
the one that nominated Cook, named
the same set of presidential electors. 1t

nominations were made. that the list
could be placed both under the Half

that the two factions could fight their

A Wonderful Jewel.

The most traordinary pearl-or,
rather, cluster of pearls-known as the
Southern Cross is owned by a syndi-

ue it at $500. 200. So far as is known, it
occupies an absolutely unique position.
1t consists of nine pearls, naturally
grown together in so regular a manner
as to form a perfect Latin cross. The
pearl was discovered by a pearl fisher
at Roebourne, West Australia. The first
owner regarded it with so much super
stition that he buried it: but it was
discovered in 1874, and five years later
was placed on exhibition in Australia
