A Tribute to Edgar. a Dead Pet.

Edgar is dead The sudden demise
came Friday afternoon as the evening
shadows were deepening into dark
ness. Edgar was not endowed with
human speech, but his quiet and I'M
assuming manners soon won our
hearts, endearing himself to US. He
had mpaniOn-Mamie. The sepa-
ration from Mamie brought grief, and
grief brought the untimely end. He
was buried Saturday morning with
proper ceremonies under the spread
ing branches of a sycamore tree.
We will miss him very much. for
The glimpse of him would recall
The many vanished joys
OF the romps OF the day of old.
With our sweethearts and the boys.

DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

Among seven hundred school boys
recently examined in one of the big
cities of the north only three could
raise themselves up by their arms on
horizontal bar until their chins
were on a level with their hands. Inc
statement is also made that many OF
the children in the schools in the
Doorer parts of the city do not know
how to play. They have to be taught
the simple games like tag and hop
scotch. The pathos of a childhood
without play has begun to appeal to
public-spirited persons, and they are
asking that more Fairgrounds be
provided in the crowded quarterse
Money spent in this way will save
thousands of boys and girls from
pauperism and crime.

HARVARD AND COLUMBIA.
Given a Scoring by Walter Camp on
Their Football Ideas.

Boston, Jan 30.-'The new football
rules and the abandonment of the
game by Harvard was criticised at the
fortieth annual dinner and reunion Of
the Yale alumni of Boston. at The Tx
change club last night. The criticism
of Harvard's Remuneration of football
began with the address Of former
Congressman John r. T'hayer. of Wor-
cester. Mr.. sEhayer ventureS the as
sertion that IF Harvard had wen the
football game last fall President Eliot
would not have been so anxious to play
ping-pong-" Continuing, he said
Harvard and Columbia have not
won a big college game in the past six
years and there is no prospect OF their
doing so in the next SIX years to come
Harvard's desire is TO play foe batl III
silk stockings.
Walter Camps criticism of the new
football rules found vent in para
phrased set of rules that he had draw
up for the occasion. These "rulez'
provide that any athlete found on the
faId with tive dollars in has pocket
should be deemed a professional and
that any player showing signs Of be-
coming angry should be reEnOX ed fr0fn
the game. There were several other
rules of a like tenor After fecitinE
them. Mr.. Camp remarked by THIS

KRAUTROFF ON STAND.
Armour's Attorney Testihes in the
Beef Trust Case.

Chicago. Jan. 3O.-AH efforts by
the attorneys in the packers case to
reach an agreement upon the facts at
issue having failed, the case was re-
sumed today and the taking Of evil
dence was commenced.
The first witness was LOUIS Krau-
thoff. of New York. formerly general
counsel for Armour & Co. He was
placed on the stand to narrate his in
terVieW with Commissioner of Cor
porations Garfield at the Chicago club
April 10, 1905, when the packers
the import of which was that if he
received the Information for which
he asked the packers should never be
prosecuted criminally.
Judge Humphrey ruled that if it
were true that the packers had di-
vulged evidence against themselves
under pressure from the government,
| It would be competent to show the
nature of the legal advice under which
the defendants were acting.
Attorney Miller then asked the wit
ness:
Did you advise your clients as to
4 the powers of the commissioner to
compel testimony
/ 81 did, fully"
Did you advise them to comply
with his requirements in case he
/ should call for testimony %
That was the point of the subject
on which advised them"
The witness then described his meet
ing with Commissioner Garfield.
Il then asked him." said Mr. Krauth-
/ off, whether we were - be protected
/ in case Of dishonest special agents. He
/ assured me of this and said that we were
! protected by the law, the source of his
! information being secret. I asked him
about some OF this information getting
I to the newspapers and even to the de-
partment of Justice He told me to have
no apprehension on that subject. I then
1 asked what use the president of the
4 United States wished to make of the in
/ formation. He answered with emphasis
/ that of course, the president of great
nation would not allow anythir- to hap
pen to which any one could take excep-
ton. He further said that where figures and
4 data came from unquestionable sources
! the oath was not necessary, but ifal my
/ thing came up in regard to the oath,
he would let us know. On his assurance
! that all information would be kept IN
/ violate in the bureau OF corpora ions, ]
I answered some questions ~*~~arding the
/ prices of cattle and similar matters. We
1 talked something further. but 1 think
that was the substance Of it.
What did you say your clients would
do as to the production OF the eyidenceE
4 asked Attorney Miller. q said that as
4 I understood his position as to keeping
I our disclosures confidential. would ad-
/ wise my clients to do as he asked. He
said that he intended to make report
! so accurate in detail that there Woutc
be no question regarding 1t and for ina
reason he wanted to look INTO the pooks

Word has been received from Wash
lngton, D. c., of the death of the Rev.
MI Gregory which occurred very sud-
denly one night last week while visit
ing his son, Mr.. Linden Gregory. The
burial took place on Friday the 26th.
About 20 years ago the Rev. Mr.. Gregory
was pastor of the North Topeka Bap-
fist church and the family lived IN the
corner of Gordon and Polk streets.
Last Friday a man named Thompson,
in the employ of W. J. Mattern. the
marble man, narrowly escaped what
might have been a serious If not a
fatal accident. The man was driving
east of town with a wagon heavily
loaded with marble and other monu-
ment work and in going down a steep
hin he was thrown cut and rendered
unconnciOus by the fall One of the
rear wheels of the wagon passed over
his chest. The wagon was one of the
wide tired ones and contained at the
time $500 pounds of marble. When the
driver regained consciousness he found
his team at the bottom of the hill wait
ing for him. After a time he managed
to reach them and returned to town
suffering no permanent injuries from
the accident.
