Garden City, Kan, April 7.-One of
the most hotly contested elections in
our city for years resulted in election of
entire Republican ticket. A citizens
ticket was first nominated, with about
One-half Republicans on it; afterwards
the Republicans nominated a party
ticket, and most of Republicans on Citi-
aens' ticket withdrew, really making
the issue on strict party lines. Both
tickets We're composed Of our best citi-
zens and men on either ticket would
have made good officers.
The last excursion brought a large
number of land buyers, and our city
looked like old times, not SO much land
has changed in same length of time
since boom days, and has advanced so
per cent in price since last fall our real
estate men can hardly ind a purchaser
before the owner notifies them of an
advance in prices. Our county is filing
up quite rapidly, and a drive over the
country shows new improvements in all
directions. The city is also feeling the
benefit of it, the new bank building will
be a fine building, and new residences
are going up IN all directions. The
county by another year is partly the
cause of the advance in land, as a COM
pany has been organized to build fac

Mccormick, at Kansas City.

the city only few hours and left for
his farm near st. Mathews. He will
remain there two or three weeks and
then will GO back to San Francisco.
Hart says Johnson is the best and
cleanest fighter he ever met, not ex-
cepting Jack Root, Jack O'Brien, or
George Gardner. In regard to JEFF
fries, Hart said he was not looking
for a fight with the champion. but was
not afraid of him. He says if the
public believes he has a chance with
the big boilermaker he viii fight him

Dick Cooley to sign with Kansas City.
It was reported some time ago that
Cooley had signed with Cantillon, wishing
to be near Joe, with whom he is very
friendly. Manager Irwin received a letter
from the Boston player yesterday and he
said he wished to play in this city, as It
would be near his home. Cooley lives at
Topeka. In his letter Cooley said that his
release could be secured for 500, but If
Irwin waited a little while he could be Sc
cured for nothing. The Blues manager
said that he did not wish to steal any
more players from Milwaukee.

The Topeka team will play two ball
games on Sunday. One aggregation,
which might practically be termed the
Regulars. viii play the Kansas City
Schnelzers here at Association park.
Another bunch, to be called the yam
niganS," composed in the main of try
outs, excepting the pitchers, VIII go to
Atchison to measure strength with Earl
Green's Independents. President Tom
Sheard will go to Ed HoWe's town to
run things down there. while Secretary
Logan viii hold the helm here. Two To-
cal celebrities viii help out at Atchi-
son, Richie and Gilmore.
The contingent which viii play at
home will be made up OF about the
personnel which the Topeka fans may
expect to see daily at Association park
this summer. Crum, though he has not
yet reported, will be on hand to take
care of right field. Wiser, an inhelder,
last year with St. Joe in the Western
League, was sent a contract today ana
will probably be on hand to divide the
afternoon with RED" Quigley at short.
Iletheky, HOWE and Alderman will stay
here to do slab duty, while Lynch, car
ter and Hughes will try to puzzle the
corntown people with their benderinos
The regulars, or the ones which will
play in Topeka are as follows: Henry,
catcher; Abbott, first base Dunn, Sec
ond base; Quigley and Wiser, short
stop; Brown, third base; Cole, left field;
Persch, center field; Crum, right field
The Yannigans Will make up in about
this way: Stewart, catcher; Chandler,
first base; Kean, second base; Ritch1e

Carter, Lynch. Smith, outdelders and

also needed. Kimmel made a ten
