Strange Incidents


 Along with the work and worry of merchandising there are just enough interesting and funny experiences oo eur to neutralizo the effects of what would he the most nerve tiring work in the world, were it net for such incl dents as these.
 The other day q man came in the store and asked for hoes. We only keep two kinds re:,Iied the clerk, the dry goods man keeps the other kind that the girls use. We keep a nood line of rubber hose for sprinkling lawns and then we have the kind of hoes that have made so many boys tired when they wanted TO TO fishing. We'll, said the customer, want the boys it. We have no hoes with a seat on them replied the clerk, but we may have some here shortly with a brake as some of our customers complain Of our light, durable hoes working them too fast while cuItivating the vegetar- ians special delights. However we keep cots and haminocks for sale. You might buy one of them and lie down while you labor among the tender shoots warning with the weeds.
 We'll said the customer, suppose I'll have to buy hoe just like grand pa used but it's mighty funny that we are using the same old hoe that kept MethuseIah from going to the circus when he was a boy, while there has been so much improvement along other Iires. What are your hoes worth? The, rur from 4oc to Csc, re- piled the clerk. PIl take the 55c hoe replied the customer and if you act anything new ir the hoe line that will let q fellow sit in the shade and read the Arizo-a Republican while he kills weeds among the tgrnips and radishes just let me krow. l know that David sons Cash Store keeps up to date hardware that's the reason l came here.

 REACTS BASEBALL GUIDE The l9OG edition of the Baseball Guide published Ey A J. Reach & Co. of ! Philadelphia. and sold for a dime, has been issued and is probably the best baseball reference book yet offered to the public. It is volume of nearly 400 pages and contains also a fine re- production, suitable for framing, of the Polo grounds in New York, during the : playing oi the second game or the worlds championship series. 1905. Be side the usual base ball information concerning both the games and the ! players about forty pages are devoted to a chronological diary of interesting an unsual events that occurred during 1905 affecting either the game or pro- 1 fessional players.
 APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL MONEY-The last appOrtionment of school money for the year will be made on April 10. That is an arrangement made by County School Superintendent Fulton and County Treasurer Hayden for the convenience oi all concerned, and especially for the teachers and ] z tically all the school money will be i1 by that time. There may be forfeit ures and fines which would be added to it, but not in sufficient amount to cut much of a figure. So those who may have claims against the fund will not have to discount them for in q lit tie more than a month they will be worth their face value at the office of the treasurer.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FAKE.
Particulars as to Why the Los Angeles
Fight Was Called on.

Los Angeles. Cal. May 28-After
wrangHng for more than two hours over
the weight question Battling Nelson
and Aurelia Herrera failed to meet in
their scheduled twenty-round battle be-
fore the Pacific Athletic club here last
night.
The house was crowded by those
wanting to see the contest. and after
the long wait it was announced the fight
was off and that the spectators would
have their money refunded by calling at
the box office
The fasco caused keen disappoint-
ment and the crowd voiced it's senti-
ments in no complimentary terms.
The trouble over the weights began
at s O'Clock, the time the men were 10
weigh in. Both Nelson and Herrera
stepped on the scales. each tipping the
beam at 15l pounds, but Billy Nolan,
Nelson's manager Immediately claimed
the scales had been tempered with. He
offered to go TO a bath house and weigh
IN on other scales. but the Mexican re-
fused TO do so. Neither side would
yield and finally at $50 Herrera made
his appearance in the ring
It was not until after O'Clock that
Nelson jumped into the ring. He then
claimed Herrera had not weighed in,
that the Mexican was overweight, but
that he would fight him il he weighed
1873 or even 40 pounds. If the scales
would be brought into the ring This
was done, but when Herrera was asked
to weigh IN the presence Of the crowd
he refused fatty He said he would not

CONCERNING BURTON.
Report That President Roosevelt Has
Demanded Action From Senate.

The Washington Post prints the fol-
lowing
Unless Senator Joseph r. Burton, OF
Kansas, who stands convicted OF
crime and has been sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment and to pay a
fine, resigns his seat in the senate
within one week, action viii be taken
to have him expelled from that body.
Notice to that effect will be served OH
Burton by members of the committee
on privileges and elections, which con-
sidered his case yesterday. He will
have until next Friday to make up his
mind. on that day the committee will
meet with the intention of reporting
resolution of expulsion if Burton does
not resign.
Burton's proposal to Senator Bur
rows, chairman of the committee, that
provided no action were taken on his
case in the meantime, Burton would
resign his seat if the supreme court
denied the application for rehearine or
his case. was brought to the commit
tees attention at yesterdays meeting
but was imm ediately rejected Sena-
tor Foraker and Senator Knox were
particularly insistent that some action
should be taken at once against Bur
ton, unless he voluntarily retired from
the senate. There was some mention
made of political conditions in Kansas,
W hich. from a Republican standpoint,
would create considerable embarrass..
ment If Burton retired or was forced
out at this time. but they made no i'm
preston upon the committee.
The consideration of Burtons case
was based on resolution proposed by
Senator Hale on Tuesday directing the
committee on privileges and elections
to report uDon the effect of the SUI
preme courts decision upon Burton's
status as a senator. Owing to the fact
that five members of the committee
were absent it was determined to take
no action on this resolution until the
next meeting of the committee, which
viii be held next Friday In the
meantime according to the under
standing reached, Burton will be in
formed that if he does not resign be-
fore that meeting, a resolution for his
expulsion viii be reported. The adop-
tion of such a resolution is uncertain.
Should the senate fail to expel him
before adjournment. Burton would re-
ceive salary enough by the time con-
gress assembled and was able to take
action. to pay the fine of $4,000 which
was imposed as part of his punish~
ment- It is believed that Mr.. Burton
IS practically without a dollar.
There is no question of partisanship
involved in BurtOn's case. Republican
senators are just as insistent that he
shall be forced to relnquish the toga
as their Democratic associates are. "
is realized, however, that should the
committee on privileges and elections
fail to take prompt measures to bring
about Burton's expulsion, in the event
that he refuses to resign, Democratic
senator's will bring the matter directly
before the senate, and it is said they
will find plenty of Republicans to help
them adopt a resolution of expulsion.
Tt came out at the meeting of the
committee yesterday that President
Roosevelt had declared that Burton
must get out of the senate or be ex.
PEELED. and that he wanted the COM
mittee to take action at once.

REV. MIR. sHELDoN's PLAN.
WouId Put FirecracIzer Money Into
Memorial Hall.

Charles NJ. Sheldon preached a sermon
at Central Congregational church Sun
day morning in which he announced d
new plan for celebrating the Fourth of
July. DR.. Sheldon circulated cards to
those in the congregation which set
forth his plan terseIy as follows.
"A nation must struggle for its ideals.
There is danger that days which COM
memorate great events Will be observed,
by those who have been born after the
events, in ways unworthy of the price
paid by the nation for liberty or great
ness. Memorial day has of late years
been so abused. The Fourth of July is
celebrated in many ways unworthily of
the idea it is intended to represent.
Why could not the people Of Topeka.
old and young, express their patriotism
and their love for the city by putting up
a building to be known as The Peoples
Hall. This hail could stand on a piece
Of ground large enough to be made into
a children's play ground. kept and cared
for by the children Of the city. Within
the building itself could be held any
gatherings which centered about the
welfare Of the city. The hall could be
Of moderate size. to seat 1000. 1t could
be dedicated to civic progress; to good
citizenship rallies; to children's gather
ings for learning Of patriotic songs, etc.
In other words it would be a common
rallying point. not for entertainments
or amusements. or for the uses to which
the Auditorium is put. but for the up
lifting Of the whole city in its moral.
physical and esthetic life. If every man.
woman and child in Topeka Will give
ten cents each Fourth of July for this
hall and park until 1911. the building
could be erected and become a part ex-
preston of our love for Topeka and
sign of our patriotism. It would be
possible for this same idea to be carried
out Ia practical form by any town or
city in Kansas. If the whole city would
unite in some such plan the financial
burden would not be great. Perhaps
some patriotic citizen Of Topeka will
give the land for such a park and hall"

BIG PIE TO BE CUT.
Newspapers win Print Notice OF Pro-
posed Constitutional Amendments.

All of the good Republican newspa-
pers in the state will now be given a
piece of official pie in the form of the
printing of the three constitutional
amendments which were agreed upon
at the last session of the legislature.
The legislature of 1905 provided for
three amendments. and the constitution
provides that the amendments shall be
submitted to the people at a general
election, and that they shall be adver-
tised in the newspapers of the state for
sixty days preceding the election. They
will be sent out early in August. and
most of the newspapers in the state
proba bly, will be given a share of the
printing. The amendments provide for
the removal of the double liability
clause in connection with the organiza-
ton of stock companies, for the ap-
pointment by probate judges Of judges
pro TEN, and for the review of special
laws by the courts for the purpose of
ascertaining if they conflict with the
constitution.
