A good story is told of the Right
Hon. Sir George Turner. P. c.. who
was premier of Victoria for d number
Of years, and. later treasurer of the
commonwealth, and who refuses to
stand again for the federal parliament.
Sir George, like many other colonial
politicians, has horror of pomp and
display, and like John Burns, NJ P,

George Turner was in London at the
time of the jubilee celebrations. and
was installed at the Hotel Cecil. where
he was the guest of the queen. and
one of the royal servants was told to
look after his personal wants The first
morning a very gorgeous creature

The case was filed Friday afternoon
and was given a half number, an old
trick frequently tried by attorneys
who seek to keep matter from the
public, but one scarcely ever resorted
to by lawyers.
This matrimonial venture which has
just been dissolved by an act of the
court is not the first for either the
plaintiff or the defendant as the
court records show that the plaintiff,
Aaron Pigg, was divorced from Lulu
Landon Pigg on March IL. 1901. At
this time the wife. who was the plain
tiff, was awarded the custody of the
minor child, given $1,000 alimony and
the furniture in the Fifth Avenue
hotel, which was owned by the Piggs

CoNVICTs IN Rad SHAPE.
Not Confident Now Of Winning From
the White Sox.

The Leavenworth team arrived in
Topeka this morning to open their SER
les of three games with the White Sox.
The team is putting up at the Throop
hotel. The LeavenWorth team is not as
hopeful of beating the local team as
they were on their former trip to this
place. The team has been crippled a
good deal since then and many new
players will be seen with them and
some of the old ones will be missing
ser is taking his place in the field.
Johnson has been displaced at short
and new recruit from the trolley
league Of ST. Louis will try out at this
three pitchers of the LeavenwoFth
bunch are in shape to pitch: Ashley,
Speer and flaming. Speer will pitch
this afternoon and Ashley will twirl in
Sundays game.
An effort is being made to get the
Convicts TO transfer the series which is
scheduled for Leavenworth between the
White Sox and the Soldiers to Topeka.
Capt. "BilP' link, the manager of the
Soldiers, has declared his willingness to
play in Topeka instead OF his own town
as the crowds in the prison town are
very small lately. 1t is not likely the
change Will be made.
The Cooleycrows came in from Hutch
inson this morning. They won two out
Of the three games which they played
with the Salties. Two new men accom-
panied the team home, Pencil and
Companion. Pencil is the utility man
recently secured from Wichita and
Companion was traded by Abbott for
Horton. He will pitch against Leav-
enworth this afternoon.
Cheney returned from his home in
BeHeviIle this morning. He had deeid-
ed to quit for this year on account of
the tangle which he had gotten into
with the BaFtlesvil1e mana cement But
after thinking the matter over he de-
cided to accept the inevitab bic and re-
turned to Bartlesville today.
The game this afternoon is called for 4
o'clock and Bert Dunn will probably
handle the indicator.

TWO JOINTS ARE RAIDED.
Both Belong in the Glass of Small Fry,
However.

Business picked up in the police de-
partment for a few moments this morn
ing and two joints that have been doing
a thriving business of late if all that is
said by the neighbors is true were pull
ed James Finney who is said to be tbs
proprietor of a thirst parlor at 5l2 East
Fourth street was the first victim or the
department. The people who live in THAI
community have been complaining OF
the frequency with which q number OF
we'll known joint patrons have visited
the place and the arrest this morning
was the result.
There was a pine bar at the place fit
for little save kindling and besides this
the police found a barrel nearly full of
cool beer and still damp with the
sweat of the cold storage house from
which it had been but recently removed.
Then there was a bottle or SO of whisky
and glassware enough to accommodate
a picnic party of more than ordinary
size.
OFFICER Bob Miller piloted by Sergeant
Vols did the work and accompanied
James to the police station where ne was
informed that his case will be heard
next Monday afternoon at three o'clock
AS soon as the liquor had been re-
moved from the patrol wagon it was
again started on trip to 100 and 102
North Jefferson street where Archie
Bailey was said to be dispensing the wet
goods contrary to the spirit of the pro-
hibitory law and the guess was a good
one, and as at the previous place a key
of beer was captured besides a bottle of
whisky and a number of glasses The
bar in this case consisted of plain ia
Bile and was not taken as it appeared
ready to fall of its own weight. Each
of the two arrests were made on the
complaints of neighbors who objected
to the presence of the booze dispensers.
