AFTER TI4IRrY-sEvEN YEARS.
Grandma Leonard, an Invalid for
Years. Goes to Her Reward.

Grandma Leonard, an Invalid for
Years, Goes to Her Reward.
The Usage County Chronicle says:
In the Chronicle of April 4, 1868, ap-
peared the following;
Mrs Leonard, wife of A. Leonard
while going to a neighbor's on horse
back, a few evenings since, was
thrown to the ground so violently that
it is feared that her spine is per-
manently injured
Mrs. Mary S. Leonard, known to
everyone here as Grandma Leonard
died in this city. March 6. The story of
her life and suffering is probably un-
paralleled in the knowledge of the
present generation Thus after 81
years of uninterrupted confinement to
her bed she has gone to her rest. Her
life for that period has been limited
to the four walls of her room.
In 1854, stirred by the strife in
Kansas to make it a free state, and
being thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of freedom together with her
husband and son, they left Michigan
with oxen and wagons, and settled in
June of 1855, four miles southwest of
Burlingame. -Four years later, when
the early settlers were having trouble
in securing food, she accompanied
Mr.. Leonard to Salina to procure buff
falo meat to tide over the needy until
spring.
The county here being sparsely
settled prayer meetings were held at
the various neighborhood homes and
it was while enroute to one of these
meetings, horseback, that she re-
ceived the injuries mentioned.
Many times has she chatted with
her children, callers, and told of the
suffering and privation in the early
years of Kansas, and yet not once
would she be heard to mention her
own case. Grandma Leonard was a
cheerful, pleasant woman, and never
heard to complain of her lot. On the
other hand, many times she had said,
1t is the Lords will. am not master
of my own life and destiny. Others
have suffered before me. why should
I nOt2' She viewed her condition as
an example. as a lesson of patience,
that all things are for the best She
has often said that she was thankful
that she had been permitted to live
as long as she has. Since her life in
bed, and in the same room. has oc-

Kansas City, Mo, March 15.-Chan-
cellor Frank StrQnar .ofs kansas uni
versity. who was at the Coates house
yesterday, while in Kansas City took
the first step in behalf of the universi-
ty authorities toward making effective
the recent action of the Kansas legis-
lature. by which a medical school and
hospital, to be conducted by the uni
versity, will be established on the site
given for that purpose by DR.. Simeon
B. Bell. of Rosedale- The gift was made
by DR.. Bell several years ago, but not
until a few weeks ago could the need
ed action on the part of the Kansas
legislature be secured.
Although it would of course be i'm
possible to have the school in readiness
for the next collegiate year, it is Chan
cellor Strong's desire to have it pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible. No def
mite action was taken yesterday, his
visit being mainly to familiarize him
self with the situation. DR.. Bell ex-
poets to go to Lawrence today to con-
fer with the chancellor and members of
the medical faculty in regard to plans
for the new school. which will probably
assume some definite shape in the near

INTRUDER FATAILY WOUNDED.
Shot by Man Whose sleep He and His
Companions Disturbed.

Pittsburg, kan, March 15.-Charles
Meyers, of Neodesha, Kan, was shot
and mortally wounded here Tuesday al
ternoon by Mart Carr, in a fight be-
tween Carr and Meyers, and two others
who were with him at the time Meyers
and his brother, Ed, also of Neodesha,
and Zinc Wehmeyers of this city, Wnom
they were visiting, started out last even
ing to see the town, and after stirring
up trouble in two or three places, went
to the Carr home and raped for ad-
whereupon they began to kick the door
and swear.
Carr got out of bed. dressed and pick
ing up q revolver that lay on the dress
er, stepped out at the back door and
walked around the house to the front,
and ordered the men away No sooner
had he done this when they assaulted
him and were handling him roughly
when he began shooting. He fired four
or Eve shots. Two struck Charles
Meyers, one in the neck and the other
in the groin, the last one being pro
nounced fatal by the surgeons who were
called. Meyers now lies al the city nos
pital in a critical condition.
Carr gave himself up and was placed
under IS 900 bond for his appearance
for preliminary examination next Mon
day.
Meyers is married. His wife and two
children, who were visiting with rela-
tives in Mound Valley Kan, and his
parents. living in Rich Hill Mo-, were
notified by wire. The house in which
Carr and his wife were living has been
for several years, until recently, no
tOrious resort, and this fact is probably
the cause of the trouble.

GRIFF DISCUSSES PITCHING.
Tells Of the Changes and EvoIutions

Clark Griffith, who has always been

simply because he uses his head as
We'll as his physical ability, gives an
| interesting account of the changes in
the style of pitching during the last
- years He divides the different
methods into three distinct classes

the new stage
The latter is the present stage and

inventions of modern twirlers. In ex-
Planatlon of these distinctions the
! New York manager says: During the
4rsI suage such pitchers as Burlington,
6ddoOck, Ramsey, John ClarkSon and
others became famous as exponents
OF the drop, which caused as much
OF a sensation and puzzle to batsmen
at the time as the spit ball of Ches-
pFo dld last year. Every pitcher tried
to acquire the delivery, some sue
ceeded, but many did not, and the
latter can consider themselves lucky.
The delivery required a snap to the
arm and wrist that put every pitcher
who followed it up out of business
sooner or later. Burlington was
obliged to retire when he should have
been at his best. Haddock succumbed
in short order. as did Ramsey, the
latter was shrewd enough to cult
using the ball in the nick of time
went south, where the climate is
minor league up to this day, but he
never would be successful in the big
leagues Other pitchers who con-
tinued to use the drop fell by the
altogether or took up other playing
positions.
Then" continued Griffith, "came
the curve ball stage. The ball was
pitchers previous to this time had
used the tearing, wearing snap to give
the pail the required twist which is
necessary to cause the ball to break
Rus1e was the first and best exponent
OF the new style of curving. He had
natural delivery, a round arm swing
and did not snap the ball. He merely
rolled the sphere off his fingers, and
he could get more of a break to his
ball than any pitcher I ever saw. He
could get terrific speed with his de-
livery also. More, in fact, than any
pitcher before.
"Rusie's strong right arm did not
go back on him from his pitching, but
from other causes If Rusie had taken
proper care of himself he would have

great twirler's methods, became nearly

pitchers.
by continual and constant use of
the curve, batsmen gradually got so
they could hit it. and then pitchers
were obliged to dig up some new de-
livery. Change of pace was tried.
although that was not new, for Tim
Keefe had a most deceptive slow ball
that he pitched with the same motion,
but Tins great effectiveness with that
ball seemed to have died with his re-
tirement- Anyway very few pitchers
had it down as pat as he. But the
batters soon got onto the change of
pace, and that brought pitching up

RACING DATEs ALLOTTED.
Turf Association Decides o.
Time for Meetings.

Chicago, March 15.-The American
Turf association, the controlling body
of the race tracks which seeded from
the Western Jockey club, met here
yesterday and allotted racing dates to
four of the tracks. Besides the adop-
ton of a racing. schedule, the associa-
ton ratified a set of rules to govern
the organization and granted licenses
to nineteen jockeys and ffty-four
trainers and owners. Among those
who were given licenses to ride was
Tod Sloan, who was ruled off the Eng
lish turf several years ago.
In the new rules, which will be put
in book form and made public in a
few days, are several changes from the
old racing laws used by the Western
Jockey club, under which the majority
of race tracks in the middle west have
been running until this year. The
most important of these changes is a
rule making it necessary for horses 3
years old and upward to carry not less
than S5 pounds in a race. Heretofore
the minimum has been rs pounds.
Another change is in reference to the
breeding of horses, six crosses instead
of five being required. The following
are the racing dates fixed:
Nashville April 20 to May ?. inclu-
sive.
Lexington, KY. May 8 to May 9. in
elusive.
Louisville, May 10 to May 27. in
Kansas city, April % to May 20, in
elusive.
The application of dates for the
Union park track at St. Louis was
passed until the next meeting OF the
association. The reason for this. it was
declared by the representatives of the
association, was the unsettled racing
situation at st. Louis.
The application for d license of G..
Mountain, who was ruled of the Kan
sas City track last summer, was re-
fused. Others who were refused
license were w. J. Connors and Bud
Embry.
