TOM SHEARD SURPRISED.
Was Met by Brass Band When He
Reached Wichita.

The Wichita Beacon says: President
Shiveley of Kansas City and Manager
Tom ShearG of the Topeka team, arriv-
ed mere this morning to visit among the
fans today.
When Shiveley and Sheard stepped off
of the train, one of the bands Of the
Threshermen's association was at the
depot to meet the visiting threshermen.
The following conversation took place:
Say, Doc, I didn't expect this, what
does this all mean?"
Search me Tom, I don't know, I'M
less they have arranged an exhibition
game for today"
wei say Doc, If they ask for a
speech let me do the talking, am great
on the talk you Know"
Say. Tom. let US hunt up the tele-
graph Office and wire the papers about
this reception"
Not me Doc, my wife will think I've
been drinking"
At this juncture they were met ~
Manager Kimmel, who explained to
them that the Threshermen's associa-
ton was holding its annual meeting
here today.
Sheard says his team will be in good
shape to start the season off and that
he already dreams of landing the pen
nant. He says he dreamed about land
ing the pennant while at the Baltimore
in Kansas City attending the meeting
of magnates a few days ago. and that
when he aWOl1e, he was standing in the
middle of the room holding a pillow in
one hand and making gestures with the
other.

TELLER INSISTENT.
Determined to Have His Dominican
Resolution Considered.

Washington, March 16.-Despite the
fact that it is recognized that there are
not enough votes for the ratification of
the Santo Domingo treaty there was a
general return today of Republican
members who have been absent. Sen
ators Lodge and Kittridge who have
been away for a few days were in their
seats and Senator Dolliver is within
reach if there should be a call for him.
After the reading of the journal Mr..
Teller asked if there were objections to
consideration of his resolution ofinquiry
concerning Santo Domingoan affairs.
Mr.. CulIom, who had arisen to move an
executive session, said that an oppore
tunity would be given tomorrow for the
consideration of the resolution.
Il know that" said Mr.. Teller, but
if we are called to vote on the treaty
this week we would have to act without
the information"
well, 1 do not believe the informa-
ton we would get is worth much any
way said Mr.. Cullom.
Mr.. Teller said he did not want the
resolution to lose its place and it was
agreed that he might call it up tomor-
row.
The senate then went into executive
session.

types. Mr.. Martin actually takes an IN
terest in his work. He can go and put
his finger on Jim Lanes overshoes or
John Browns Russian leather cigarette
case with his eyes shut, and he finds
plenty of time to write numerous .frag-
ments of Kansas history and add them
to his collection.
History becomes more historic each
day and as Mr.. Martin clips and files
away the brief funeral notices of Kan
sas history makers, he sees the day ap-
preaching when Kansas history may be
acquired from books only.
The Legislature appropriated, among
other things, a thousand dollars for the
preservation of Kansas battle flags. Mr.
Martin intends to establish &. large glass
case Just north of the east elevator
shaft. and put the flags where the sons
of Kansas may see them. No moths or
relic hunters need apply.

in Main street last night. An attempt
to arrest him was made by half a dozen

shoulder. Davis then barricaded his
room while officers laid siege until day
light. Early today they forced an en-

COLD DAMAGED
TRUCK INTERESTS
It is Estimated That Several
Thousand Dollars Will be Lost.
TRuoKgas VEL PREPAREo

As Rule, and Those Who Had the ADJ
vantage Of Telephone Connection
Covered Their Crops During the
DaY--Loss to Beans and Cabbage.
The cold wave is upon ug, and it lie
one OF the coolest Of the season.
The government report from the
weather bureau at Jacksonville, re-
ceived yesterday, stated that the tenn
perature would fall considerably, and
that this would be the most severe
cold wave since the fatal freeze Of
1895.
The various growers Of truck in this
section took advantage Of the advance
reports, and yesterday we're busily en-
gagged covering and otherwise protect
ing their products, Telephone mes
sages were sent to the growers where
they could be reached, with the result
that by evening large proportion Of
the crop had been protected.
While the loss will naturally be
heavy from this freeze, a great deal Of
the crop was saved, owing to advance
instructions. Nearly all the crop
along the Gainesville and Gulf south
ofthis point s protected, which means
that the loss in this section will be
comparatively small Other growers,
however, who could not be reached by
phone, will suffer materially, as they
we're unaware OF what the conditions
would be.
Among the crops to suffer most will
be the lettuce, young bean and cab
bage crops. The former is Just now
in the heighth OF the season. The
beans will shortly be coming on, and
rs rule have just reached above the
ground.
Those truckers who have been ship
ping cauliaower and unprotected let
tuce have enjoyed a good thing fnan-
eially, as good prices have been re-
allied. While a great deal OF lettuce
has been grown under cover for late
shipments, large consignmens OF
early growth have been made, with the
result that these growers will not sui-
fer so materially, Many OF those,
however, who have grown unprotected |
crops also have considerable protected |
lettuce, and Il 10 doubtful whether
this plant will succnmb the cold.
