Warsaw, March 26.-According to
latest information the attack on Bar
on Won Nolken was the result of an
elaborate conspiracy of the revolu-
tionary party.
Shortly before s o'clock tonight an
elegantly dressed man went to the
police station at Praga, a large sub
urb of Warsaw ON the other side OF
Vistula, and threw bomb into the
court yard Of the station, wounding
seven persons, two of them danger
ously. The man started to run away,
but was caught by the captain of the
police. He was found to be Jew,
but shis identity has not yet been dis
covered. A telephone message was
Immediately sent to Baron Won Mol
ken at the city hall, informing him
OF the outrage. Baron Won Nolken,
accompanied by a police Official took
a carriage and started Immediately
for Praga. When passing the castle
where the governor general resides
a man standing on the pavement
threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron
Won Nolken, who was sitting on the
side nearest the assailant, received
the full charge of the bomb, while his
companion escaped unhurt. The
coachman was thrown from the box
and the carriage was smashed.
Baron Won Nolken was removed to
the city hall and doctors were sum-
moned who found he has received in
juries on the mead, neck, arm and
leg which are believed ito be serious.
Meantime the police official accom-
panying Baron Won Nolken saw the
bombthrower fleeing and pursued and
caught up with him, but the criminal
proved the stronger and tore himself
away.
Another policeman fired twice after
him without result Half an hour
later a man, whom the police believe
to be the bombthroWer, was found
dead in Sowie street. The police
think the man shot himself to escape
arrest.
A girl who was passing the spot
when the bomb was thrown was
wounded by splinters and was taken
to the hospital.
According to the theory of the po-
lice the revolutionists calculated upon
Baron Won Nolken going to Praga on
learning of the explosion of the bomb
at the station there and knew he must
pass the castle, that being the only
road by which he could reach the
bridge across the Vistula.
The affair caused great excitement.
A popular rumor says the revolution
aries adopt this course of informing
the police that they have more bombs
besides those discovered in the Pow
inskl cemetery Saturday.
Baron Won Nolllen is very unpopu-
lar. He is hated by the masses of
the Polish people, who held him re
sponsible for the sanguinary disturb
ances here at the end of January. He
has been here only a year, having
come from st. Petersburg, where he
was chief of the mounted division Of
the police.

Winter Baseball Talk.

Elmer StrickIett, the former Washburn
pitcher and the inventor of the spit
ball., has been signed for the coming
season by Manager Hanlon of the Brook
lyn Superbas. This is his second advent
into the big leagues, being signed last
season by President Comisl1ey of the Chi
cago White Sox. Their staff of veteran
pitchers made such a good showing dur
ing the training period in the south that
released to the Milwaukee American as
ISOLATION team.
His grand pitching performances at
tracted the attention of Manager HanlOn
and he was Immediately drafted. He will
be one of 81 players taken south by the
Brooklyn mana cement in the spring.
Stricklett is credited with the invention
Of the famous spit ball" which nearly
won the pennant for the New York
Americans through it's use by Chesbro
the champion pitcher of the league, and
too constant use of the same delivery.
He discovered this deceiver of batsmen
while pitching for the Newark club in the
Eastern league, but did not put it into
regular use until with the Oakland club
of the California league a year later
The next season he was brought back
through the draft system by the Chi
go club and, as stated before, turned
over to the Milwaukee team.
Under the Brooklyn mana cement he
should make the record of his career. a
HanIon is one of the best managers in
the business, having developed two of the
greatest pitchers of the present time,
namely, McGinnity of the New York Ma
tionaIs and Corbett of the San Francisco
club. If Stricklett is of major lea cue
calibre he should stick this time if ever.

SAVE THE GAME.
An Organization Made to Enforce
the Laws.

An organization to be known as the
Shawnee County Game Protective asso-
citation was formed at a meeting last
evening, at Jesse Elliott's gun store, at
which meeting Mr.. I. Biscoe was elect
ed president, ]. c. Elliott vice president
and c. H Morton secretary and treas
urer.
The object of the organization is to
aid the passage of laws necessary to
the preservation of game, and to en-
force the illegal killing, shipping and
selling of game birds. To interest
sportsmen over the state with a view
of creating other county organizatioNA,
and generally protecting the farmer
from the depredations of the pot-hunter
and market-shooter who destroy not
only game but trespass upon the farms
and destroy stock.
The membership Of the association
will consist of all those who are inter-
ested. Everybody is urged to join the
association, and as the fee for men,
bership is only one dollar it is hoped
that a large membership win be the re-
suit. The membership fees will go into
a fund to be used in paying rewards
for arrest and conviction Of violators OF
the game law. The charter of the club
will be held open until the next regu-
lar meeting for the benefit of any who
wish to join the association. It is the
beginning of a very important under
taking, and will eventually extend
throughout the state of Kansas, there
fore every one who is a land owner or
a lover of gun and dog, should JOIN. The
charter will be found at Elliotts gun
store and the 1Sxt meeting will occur
at that place next Tuesday January "a,
at 7:30 2. m.

SMASHED HEATING PLANT.
Old Building at Clay School Is Out
of Commission.

The radiators and steam pipes in the
old building at Clay school were ruined
during the cold snap, and steam filters
have been at work this week rebuilding
the heating plant, and the old building
has been closed.
The heating plant at Clay school has
given trouble of all sorts ever since it
was installed. The boilers are in the new
building and steam is carried to the old
building by pipes. During the cold
weather the steam main to the old build
ing was shut off and the steam stopped
circulating in the pipes and radiators in
the old building and condensed, and the
water was frozen and pipes and radiators
were cracked and ruined.
Conklin & Gustafson, who are doing the
work expect to have the repairs made
today and to have the old building opened
Thursday.

Senator Chapman also has a bill

by the last legislature making the
0hird Thursday in June the date for
the annual meeting of the district
school boards at which time the
boards make the annual levy for

AS the boards of equalization are
not through their work often by the

Senator Chapman would make the

the third Thursday in July at which
time the assessor ent rolls can have

Another argument against the third
in June is that in Barton
county, where Senator Chapman lives
and where four or five million bushels
OF wheat are harvested every sum-
ners the farmers are paying more at
tention to wheat than to schools in
June. This is true of other counties
