sI4IvELEY WELCOMES IT.
Extends Hand of Fellowship to the
New Missouri Valley League.

President D. NJ. Shiveley gave an in
terview to the Kansas City Journal to-
day in which he indicated the right kind
of craftsmanship feeling which should ex-
list between baseball leagues. He was
talking Of the new Missouri Valley league
and said:
I do not regard the new Missouri val
ley league as a competitor rival of
the Western association. 1 am heartily
glad to see it come into existence with
such bright prospects, for baseball goes

nothing small except meanneSS and
nothing good that's little. From the
humble home, I think now, from the
little church around the corner, from
the little school house on the hill,
from the little club-from all these
little sources come our best and purest

CROKER RETURNS.
Former Tammany Chief Home to At
tend His Sons Funeral.

New York, Feb. 3.-With his hair
almost as white as snow and other
wise looking much older than he did
when he left New York three years
ago, Richard Croker arrived on the
steamship Kaiser WilneIm der Crosse
to attend the funeral of his son
Frank. who was kilTed while prac-
ticing for the automobile races at
Ormond beach. Florida. sir. Croker's
step lacked the buoyancy and vigor
which characterized it in former
years, and it is evident his bereave-
ment has been hard blow for him
A party of friends met the ship at
quarantine with a ting. The party on
the tug found Mr.. Croker waiting for
them in his cabin. His son went in
first, and a few seconds later the elder
Croker appeared at the door and
beckoned the others. He had not ex-
pected to leave the steamer at quar-
antine, and at first was inclined to be
a little diSpleased at the arrangement
which he thought would attract more
notice than the landing of the other
passengers. He is accompanied on the
trip by his niece, Mrs. Stella Bowman,
who lives with him at Vantage. She
did not come up with him on the tug.
Mr.. Croker and his son were driven
to St. Leo's mortUary chapel in East
Twenty-eighth street, where the body
of Frank Croker lies. He entered the
Father Ducey, pastor of the church,
and remained for an hour, the greater
part of which, it is said. he spent be-
side the coffin of his son.
One or two old Tammany men were
waiting to shake his hand when he
came out of the chapel, but he
stopped only for a minute. and then
was driven to East Seventy-fOurth
street. where the Croker boys have
been living with their mother for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Croker, it was said would re-
main at the house until after the
Friends who have met him said that
while he is heavily weighed down by
the death of his son, they do not be-
lieve there is any cause for alarm in
regard to his health.
Mr.. Croker has been away from this
country since January p. 1902. The
night before he sailed he announced
that he had retired from politics for
good and all

a severe epidemic of winter cholera"
now prevails in Topeka
The epidemic seems to have begun
almost month ago and since that
time it has attacked large per cent
of the population of the city.
The real causes of the epidemic seem
to be probIematicaI. Some physicians
are Of the opinion that the epidemic is
caused by the spread of a winter
cholera disease germ; others declare
there is no foundation for the germ the
Dry Some say that the trouble may
be traced to foreign substances finding
their way into the water at this season
of the year; or to certain conditions
arising from the use of meats or other
foods. Still other ideas indicate mat
all the foregoing beliefs are grouhdless
and that the epidemic is caused by
purely atmospheric cOndlJlons' on a.
count of people being insufhciently clau
during the cold spell, or to the mega
tive forces of electricity in the air or
on the earth's surface
Another theory is that the trouble
is caused by sort of sickness orig
inally called a touch of the grip AT
any rate, the complaint has been most
general and the epidemic is con-
coded by everyone to be the most
severe in the history of the city.
An inquiry at the various doctors
offices reveals the fact that hardly
any doctor has had less than twenty
or twenty-five cases during the past
three weeks, and many have had as
high as fifty, while a few have had as
many as seventy-hve and even a hum
dred cases.
One doctor said this morning: 81
have had no less than fifty cases
brought to my immediate attention.
That is 1 have been called to care for
that many. In one family, l recall 1
treated four cases.
DR.. L. A. Ryder says that he has
had a large number of cases of this
character. 1T is hard to exactly de-
termine just what the actual causes of
the epidemic are" he said. 1T is
fact though, that the epidemic is more
severe than ever known heretofore.
There has never been an epidemic of
this character quite as general as the
present one in Topeka have heard
of the complaint to more or less ex-
tent in previous years, but it has never
been as general as the epidemic which
has existed here this winter. Several
cases which 1 have seen were very
severe and painful, causing consider
able annoyance"
DR.. c. A. MCGUIRE said: 81 have
had a great many cases brought to my
attention during the past month. I
have not had any cases to attend dur
ing the past week, but it is a fact that
the complaint has been quite general

AND DOLLEY. TOO.
He Lines Up in Opposition to State
Oil Refinery.

Senator Dolley, an administration"
member of the senate, said this morn
ing: Governor Hoch and Speaker
Stubs are most certainly opposed to
the state refinery bill now before the
senate. Our state constitution pro-
hibits the state engaging in commercial
pursuits except for the employment of
convict labor The establishment Of a
new penitentiary at Peru and an oil
refinery in connection with this new
penitentiary would be for the purpose of
evading the constitution and would be
absolutely contrary to the state con-
stitution If half a million dollars of
state funds is appropriated for a new
penitentiary and refinery it would mean
that the legislature would compel every
tax payer in Kansas to become a stock
holder. in a state oil refinery and in the
oil business. I do not believe that

Senantor fuckers bill as passed

quired by law, and shall give bond to

is appropriated the sum of six thous-
and dollars. or so much thereof as
y
structiOn of said building there is
hereby appropriated out of any money
in the state treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated the sum of thirty thousand
doMars, or so much thereof as may be
necessary
Section provides that for the pur-
pose of acquiring Il suitable site for
the erection of the building the com
mission shall, if they deem it advis-
able. condemn the real estate required
for the site in the manner as now
provided by law in the case of rail-
roads for rights of way and other pur-
poses.
Section includes the plans for
equipment It says that for the pur-
pose of equipping the building the

several departments and institutions of

tax payers of Kansas wish to own oil
stock. If they did they would buy it.
OF course the few couRties in south
ern Kansas to be directly benefited by
such an investment on the part of the
state would favor such an act
IF Kansas should go into the oil bus
mess a refinery such as is proposed
might force the price of oil down to,
say, 10 cents a gallon. When the Stan
dard cut to that figure the state re-
finery would then have to close down.
If Kansas goes into the refining BUSH
ness it will mean that the by products
must be cared for, candles manufac-
tured, travelling men sent out, oil cars
and wagons be bought and then state
oil refinery will produce a greater out
put than can be marketed in the state.
Kansas now produces some 40, 900 bar
rels of oil annually and I expect that
in two years the state viii produce 200,-
600 barrels annually. There would then
be a production much greater than is
greater than our state refinery could
handle.
do you suppose that then the STAN
dard would say, We will take the
overproduotion of your hands and
would loan to Kansas oil cars for the
handling of this enormous output.
1T may be said that Kansas is al
ready in a. commercial enterprise, name
~ the penitentiary Irvine plant. The
difference is between the Irvine plant
and the refinery that the Irvine plant is
located at a. penitentiary for the actual
employment of convict labor and that
the penitentiary can not possibly pro-
duce all the Irvine used in the state"
