Madrid, June i.--Alfonso arose at an early hour
this morning and after boring one OF his courtiers
fof fifteen minutes talking about his new safety
razor, finally shaved and dressed himself. when ne
changed his underclothing he found that the two top
buttons OF his undershirt gone He fairly con-
tulsed his courtiers by saying he didn't mind in
the course Of a week or two he would have some one
to sew them on for him. All is a great wag After
breakfast ne tried for long time to decide whether
he would get a haircut today wait until next week
but finally dismissed the matter from his mind with
out coming to any decision. Later in the forenoon
he sent his tan oxfords over to the shoemakers to
have the heels tapped up. He always wears the
outside edges Of the heels Of his shoes down and
sometimes has them renewed three or four times
before the uppers wear out. Every effort has been
made by the courtiers to hide the morning papers
from Alfonso. but he anally got hold Of copy Of
the Madrid whangdoodle, and while the courtiers
paled and held their breath turned at once to the
sporting page The Madrid team, which has been
playing poor bail all season, and which is in
sixth place was beaten dsgracefully by Barcelona
Monday, largely Il ough the Of Don Juan the
Madrid second baseman. The courtiers dTeaded the
passionate oatburst which would greet this inte-
gence when it reached Alfonso, but he took it quite
calmly. In fact, he made no comment other than TO
say he'd like TO be manager OF the team long enough
to append a piece OF tinware to Don Juan and that
they might as Weli pave an old woman playing shoil
as RED" Rigl. Alfonso is also greatly dissatisfied
with the work Of the Madrid outheld and thinks it
should be braced up with some hiters. He has sew
eral times sent word to the management advising It
to secure Lefty Cervera the hard hitting Seville
right fielder but nothing has been done At luncheon
Alfonso was quite gay and frisky and SURF 'ed the
courtiers by wasiug them aside and feeding himself
during the first three courses He finally allowed his
favorite attendant to help him with his cherry pie
but otherwise finished the meal unassistea. This
startling innovation coming 10 the ears Of the rep
resentatve OF the Associated Press desperate effort

The Topeka Capital, in an article on
the opposition OF the Indian Rights
association to the opening up OF In
dian Territory by giving it statehood,
says; THE association is in large
part a collection OF old grannies, which
for several decades has made itself
a nuisance by its interference with
Western people in dealing with the
Indians. It's mischief has received
much inspiration from Massachusetts,
and Connecticut people whose ances-
tors so thoroughly harried and ex-
terminated the Indians In their neigh
borhood generations ago that they
have since had no chance of know
ledge Of Indian affairs. But the Indians
concerned in Oklahoma statehood do
not thank the Boston grannies for
their meddhng. The settled policy OF
the American people now is TO break
up the old tribal system, and to trans
form the Indian into self sustaining
American citizen as rapidly as possi-
Bile. Nothing could accelerate this
process more than statehood for Okla
homa and Indian Territory combined.

TWO CALLS
TURNED IN.
Fifth Alarm From Rock
Bridge Stemmery in
One Year.
"A FIREMAN is INJURED.
Prompt Replies by Depart.
ment After a Long
Period of Rest.

TUESDAY Alarm turned in from
Rock Bridge stemmery.
WEDNESDAY Small blaze at First
and North Virginia.
The fire department. which has
not had an opportunity to try itself
for some time, has been called out
twice this week already. During
the season of inactivity the horses
have been put through their regular
training exercises and responded to
both calls with an alacrity that not
only pleased the fire laddies but
showed that the horses had reached
that stage in their training where
they can be relied upon.
The alarm turned in from the
Rock Bridge stemmery Tuesday
caused a great deal of excitement IS
the department passed up Main
street and it was thought at first
that a big fire was inevitable, as the
large building has so much wood in
it that when fire once gains head
way no department can save it. One
of the firemen says that the alarm
turned in Tuesday is the fifth in the
last twelve months. If there was
any chance of a fire Tuesday the de-
partment did not know it as one
wagon got nearly to the building
when the driver was told that the
fire was "out." The driver then
returned to quarters. as did wagon
No. 2, which got only as far as Main
and Seventh streets.
The call for the department We'd.
nesday morning was turned in from
First and Virginia. The cottage be-
longing to Judge A. H. Anderson
and occupied by John Williams
near the corner, was where thu
blaze started from defective fiue
The response of the department
was so prompt that they exiting
uished the fire with buckets withou
having to attach the hose to the fir,
plug, or even take it out of tn,
wagon.
In leaving the department build
ing Mr.. w. B. Guthrie, one of The
firemen, was thrown from the
wagon. He fell to the pavement or
his left side but caught the force
of the fall on his shoulder and arm
and was badly, but not seriously,
hurt. 1t will not give him much
trouble or keep him from work.
Hundreds of people rushed out
North Virginia street expecting to
witness a big conhagration. They
returned with look of disappoint.
