SCHEDULE 1906
Topeka Favored on Western
Association Program.
Given Twelve of the Sunday
Games at Home.
ONLY ONE HOLIDAY.
Season Opens May l and Closes
September %.
Topeka Will Begin Season at
Wichita.

The schedule for the Western as
ISOLATION for the season of 1905 was
completed at Kansas City on Thurs
day and issued yesterday.
Topeka opens the season at Wichita
on May 1, on which date the gong win
ring setting the whole league into ac-
ton. Joplin win be at Oklahoma CITY.
Leavenworth at Webb City and St.
Joseph at Springfield
From Wichita Cooley will 20 on
against the citadel of Oklahoma where
he will stay four days. Joplin viii
switch to Wichita. Leavenworth will
be at Springfield and st. Joe at Webb
City.
on May 10 the formal opening of
the season will take place in Topeka.
Joplin will be here to try its vaunted
prowess. Old Lew Armstrong the
SCARED veteran of many a baseball
battle, is coaching Bakers proteges
this year. He declares that this is
the year for him to get the pennant,
and he is gath ering together some
forces which threaten the rag bunting.
The season was not shortened from
last year as prognoSticated. Just as in
1905, lao games will be played, each
team being at home seventy days and
as many out on the road. September
2 3 viii see the last game of the sea-
son, Topeka closing at home
Cooley was lucky this year He got
twelve Sundays at home, and they are
the best money-makers in the baseball
business. This town is little shy on
holiday games in comparison to other
years. On Decoration day the White
Sox viii be at Joplin for a brace OF
games On the Fourth of July Topeka
will spring a double-header on the
territory people with Oklahoma City.
But on Labor day the team Will be at
home with Springfield.
The longest single trip on which the
team will be out on the road at one
time viii be for fifteen days from June
80 to July Is Last year sixteen days
constituted the longest foreign trip.
In the days of the old Missouri Valley
league these long stays could be avoid
ed, but with the increase of distance
resulting from territory enlargement,
they are necessary.
Topekas first acquaintance with the
different league teams for 1906 will be
made on these dates; May To- Joplin:
May Il, Webb City; May 1s Spring
field; June 3. Wichita; June T. OkIahO-
ma City; June II, St Joseph; June 10,
LeaVenWOrth. A perusal of the schedule
will show that the dates named are the
first on which the various teams Will
play in Topeka during this summer.
Topeka certainly got the best of the
deal on the mileage proposition The
total number of miles which its team
viii have to travel is less than that Of
any of the other teams. In this respect
| it is remarkably favored, and this point
will show up strongly in the railroad
bills. It is not, however. that Cooley
and Grow were played favorites by the
/ schedule-maker, but because Of the
central location which this town en-
/ joys. The miles which each club must
travel during the season follows To-
peka 8 1862; Wichita 5.4S6; LeavenWOrth
/ 5,127; Webb City 1926; Joplin 4.330;
| Springfield 1888; St Joseph $3.50; Okla
| homa City $685. The average is 1914

WALL STREET UNLOADS.
A Great shearing Of Lambs Appears
to Be in Preparation.

New York, Jan. 20.-The statement
was made a week ago that one or the
other of two different types of a rising
speculation was likely to be seen in
the immediate future. Either there
would be an advance short in duration
but setting a furious pace while it last
ed, or a gradual movement in which
the distribution of stocks from the
hands OF the larger Wall street inter
ests would proceed slowly and which
might therefore be expected to con-
tinue over a longer period. It is evil
dent that what has been witnessed for
the past week is a market of the latter
rather than of the former character.
The level of prices, taking a general
| average has risen fairly steadily, but
among individual stocks there has
been great activity indicating that
spectators have by no means been of
one mind as to the Immediate tendency
of prices. In other words, it has been
far from a market like 1901 and 1902,
where the outside public, to use a
favOrite phrase, took the bit in its
teeth" and swept away all opposition.
The public in the present market is
only a small market. It is to the
wealthy speculative interests that have
been the prominent figures in the rise
of the 8 months that support for the
upward movement must still be mainly
! looked for. The host of professional
traders, large and small, hold the bal
ance of power and they make up a suf-
hcient number whether of buying or
| selling, to determine the day-to-day
| fluctuations. So long as these are the
chara cteristics of the speculative sit
uation the market may be expected to
move as it has this week and, in fact
as it has pretty much for year past;
/ namely, with no great degree of uni
formity. the prevailing method being
| for stocks to advance singly or in
] -
/ to ascend at once There is always the
| possibility, however, of the outside in
terest increasing sufficiently to give the
/ movement a broader character, and
| indeed, signs are not lacking at the
/ close of the week that outside partici-
patton is extending SO rapidly that be-
fore long it will become the dominat-
ing force in the market.

broadcast with the hopes of attracting
immigration that way.
This is the largest combination of
clubs of the kind whicn has banded to-
gether in any sectioa of the country
for the purpose of exploiting it." said
Mr.. Miller yesterday. And this plan
for number of experimental farms,
which has been taken up at the sugges-
ton of Colonel Parry. is the biggest
thing of its kind that has ever been
undertaken. All of the men in the clubs
are men of high standing in their re-
spective communities and they are filed
with enthusiasm over the work which
they have mapped out.
ssTheir country is as rich for agricul-
tural purposes as any in the southwest,
fertile to a degree and blessed with
plenty of water. The reason that it
has never been exploited before is be-
cause it was owned in large tracts by
cattlemen. They did not love the ad-
vent of the man with the hoe and did
nothing to encourage it. But gradually
settlers crept in and the cattlemen have
begun to realize the fact that the days
for the free range are over and they
have fallen into the plans for the
colonization of the country with a spirit
which augurs for success"

PREPARING FOR FLOODS.
Santa Fe Taking Extra Precautions in
New NIexicO and Arizona.

1.-THE Santa Fe company is taking
time by the forelock, as it were. and
preparing for probable floods next
spring along the lines in Arizona and
New Mexico" said an official of the
road yesterday. ''The SHOWS in the
mountains in that section have been
heavier this year than for many sea-
sons, and whether the spring comes
suddenly or gradually there are bound
to be some big freshets in New Mexico
and neutrality-suspicious. in western
Arizona. Although the company has
expended a great amount of money dur
ing the last two years to protect its
tracks from floods, extra precautions are
being taken now in view of the great
amount of snow which is lying in the
mountains. Conduits and bitches are
being built and every possible precau-
ton is being taken to prevent washouts
when the floods come, and the officials
of the company feel that they will be
able to cope with them.
1.-The present snow in that section OF
the country has certainly been record
breaker The Santa Fe, however, has
been singularly fortunate not to en-
counter any serious snow blOckades. 1t
is queer that the Rock Island trains
should have been held up for two and
three days by the snow in the plains
country, while the Santa Fe which
traverses the mountain ranges in the
same territory, and where the snow has
been heavy. should have encountered no
serious drifts"

SHORT HORN DAY SALE.
Breeders of Rocks County Have Sc
lected February %.

Plainville. Kan, Jan. 20.=The third
annual sale of the PlainviI1e Short
Horn Breeders association has been
fixed for February % PIainviIle and
the country adjacent is becoming a
short horn cattle center.
Among the largest breeders are N.
F. Shaw, with a herd of over 100
registered cattle; c. G. Cochran &.
Sons, with over SO in their herd. and
B. F. Shively, E. A. Kramer. Tucker
& Gaunt and A. H. Cooper all being
among the smaller breeders. While
the breeders can get better prices at
private sales, the idea is to advertise
the superiority of the short horns
hence the annual sale day adopted by
the Plainviile and Rocks county breed
ers.
The association will sell forty one
head, consigned by dozen or more
of the breeders, and all of them have
been thoroughly inspected by eonpe-
tent judges of short horn stock
The officers of the association are:
President, Wm- MeIlott; vice president,
A w Hall; secretary and treasurer, S.
R. Tucker; manager, \. F. Shaw The
aucuoneers are J. ". Travis and z. A.
Kramer Of PlainviIle and John Bran
nen of EsbOn, Jewell county
Speaking of auctioneers, Plainvine
is the home Of one who has made as
good a. record as any. J. W. Travis
has cried ninety-three sales since
March 1. 1905, to the close of the
year, seventy-four of them being farm
and stock sales. His combined sales
in this time aggregate more than
100000.

LUxURIEs ON EARLY CARS.
Those of so Years Ago Present Con-
trasts With Ones of Present Day.

Current advertisements describing
the luxurious appointments offered
the modern traveller on sea and land
give point to the contrast afforded by
the facilities of fifty years ago, which
were then regarded as the height to
which the passenger had a right to
aspire. The issue of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and Mining Register of June
%, 1856. said
1.-The Buffalo Car company lately
shipped a lot of cars for the Illinois
Central railroad, which are far ahead
of anything in their line yet seen in
the west. One of them contained six
state rooms, each room having two
seats with cushioned backs, long
enough for a person to lie upon. The
backs of the seats are hung with
hinges at the upper edge, so that they
may be turned up at pleasure, thus
forming two single berths, one over
the other where persons may sleep
with all the comfort imaginable. In
one end of the car is small wash
room with marble wash bowl. looking
glass; etc. On the opposite side of the
car from the staterOoms is a row of
seats with revolving backs, similar to
BARRIERS chairs. so arranged that the
occupant may sit straight or recline in
an easy attitude at pleasure. The 9TH
er five cars have each two or three
similar stateroOms.'

SAVED HER BROACH.
But Senator AIcLaurin's Daughter
Lost Her Purse.

Jackson. Miss, Jan. 20.=Miss
Irene McLaurin. daughter of United
States Senator McLaurin, had a mar
row escape from death at the home
of Prof. H. L. Whiteheld, state su-
perintendent of education, which was
destroyed by fire early this morning.
Miss McLaUrin was the guest of the
family for the night and escaped from
the residence with the other occu-
pants when the fire alarm was given.
Recollecting, however, that she had
left her purse and valuable diamond
brooch in her room, she again en-
tered the burning dwelling and was
almost suffocated by smoke before
again esca ping Miss McLaurin found
her brooch. but lost her purse, which
contained $50.

PATCH Up PEACE.
PulIiam and johnson Come to a Base
bah Understanding.

New York. Jan. 2O.-President
Harry c. Pulliam, of the National
Baseball league, and President Ban
Johnson, of the American league. were
in conference here for several hours.
and arrived at an agreement as to the
general features of the playing sched-
ules of the two leagues during the
coming season
1t was agreed that the American
league season should open in the east
April I and in the west April Il.
The only playing arrangement an
nOunced by President Johnson was
that the Boston American team would
open the season in New York, the two
clubs then going to Boston to open
there on Lexington day.
The National league reserved the
right to open its season in Brooklyn
April II. but no dates were announced
for the openings in other cities.
There viii be few conflicting dates
in the schedules of the two major
leagues as outlined at the conference
In New York, for instance, there viii
be only three conflicting games, two Of
these being played on Labor day
The schedule meetings of both
leagues will be held in this city Feb
ruary IA. Prior to the schedule meet
ings the joint committee on rules viii
be in session.

Yanger-Goodnlan Bout.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 20.-Benny
Yanger and his manager, Al Lippe, ar
rived here from New York today
Yanger's match there with Tony
Moran having been called off. Yanger
comes here for the purpose of fighting
fifteen rounds with Abe Goodman be
fore the Douglas club Monday night
The Chicago fighter appears to be in
great condition. his three round bouts
around New York having fitted him
nicely to go the route here with Good
man. The latter has not been doing so
well lately and Yanger thinks he will
surely best him if indeed he does not
knock him out. After this fight
Yanger will return west. having an en-
gagement at Indianapolis Jan. % with
Andy Bezenah. He may also go to the
Pacific coast to fight Dick Hyland al
though the match is not settled.

GREATEST LIVE STOCK MART.
More Cattle Shipped to Chicago Thar
to ANY Other Place.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Chicago is the
worlds greatest live stock market,
and it's magnitude continues to grow.
In 1905 there arrived here for mar
ket 16,1S0.S41 animals-cattle, hogs,
sheep horses-valued at $302.000.00O.
If they had come on foot. in single
file, spaced to avoid unseemly crowd
ing. these visitors would have formed
a procession. say. 10000 miles long.
That manifestly being impracticable,
they came by rail. soeiably, filing
cars enough to make a train extend
ing from Chicago to san Francisco
though, of course, several trains were
really used. Compared with 1904,
there was an increase of 904.S4f in
number and of $3O,O0O.000 in value
of animals received. Then. over r.
00O, 600 of these animaIs=horses not
counted-were slaughtered here and
converted into numerous products of
increased value, which furnished the
railways a great traffic to haul out
OF Chicago. Classified. the receipts
and values were as follows: Hogs
7,7z5.73S. value s98.000. 600; sheep

The probable starters are Proper

within a pound or two. This quartette is
well matched on their form the present
racing season.
Although the season is comparatively
young Barney Schneider already has
won $2O.915. The principal bread win
ners are Or. Gardner and Tom Nc

Might Have Wrecked Passenger
Train But Freight Was in Way.
Albuquerque, N. NJ. Jan. 2O.-Pas-
sengers arriving on Train No. on
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
which reached here Thursday morn
ing tell of quite a remarkable acci-
dent which happened near Trinidad
the day before.
Three cars of ballast on work
train, which is in operation on the
east side of the Ration mountain,
broke loose from the train near
StarkvilIe and ran back to Trinidad
at lightning speed. They passed the
Trinidad depot and hotel and for a
time there was great CONSERVATION
among the employees and others
around the Trinidad station as it was
about the time that No. Z was due
Fortunately it happened that No.
was behind a freight which had
stopped at the D. r. & G. crossing.
The runaway cars crashed into a
switch engine and the engine did not
leave the rails. but went backward
and the whole bunch of cars and
goat smashed into the freight en-
gine. Both engines were badly dam
aged and the remarkable part of it
is that no one was killed.
Trains and 9 made detour from
FL Moro to Trinidad over the Rio
Grande tracks. The light steel used
on the Rio Grande tracks would not
permit of the heavy engines of the
Santa Fe being used and it was neces-
sary to hitch two of the smaller en-
gines of the Rio Grande to the heavy
trains to haul them.

Caney. kan. Jan. 20.-This little town

doctor has 13 cases, 1t is said
1t seems that nobody knows how
many cases there are in town. Some
say there are not much more than a
dozen while others speak Just as firm
ly in stating that there are so or So
As yet there have been no fatal cases.
Some of the victims are badly SCARED,
however. With many the disease is so
mild that the name is more dreadful
than the conta gfon itself.
Up to this time the smelter people
have received the bHunt of the epidemic.
The reason that business is not with

BASEBALL PROSPECTS AT Il. U
The Lawrence Team Expect to Do We'll
This Season.


This Season.
Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 20.-With a poor
prospect of a winning track team this
season at the University of Kansas all
the attention of the student athletes is
being turned toward the coming base
bail season. There is plenty of excel
lent baseball material in the university,
but there seems to be some doubt as to
whether it viii be available. It is pos
sible that Captain johnson viii be dis
qualified. This summer, while visiting
Ray Sexton. former captain of the Jay
haWker baseball team, who was play
ing on the Minneapolis. Kan, state
league team. Johnson played a few
games with the Minneapolis team. Al
though the Kansas captain has sign
ed statement from the manager of the
team stating that johnson received no
remuneration for his services, the eligi-
bihty committee is seriously consider
ing the disqualification of the K. u.
captain because he played with pro-
fessionals.
Arthur Relihan. a former Cotton
States league pitcher. who is attending
the university. has been engaged to
coach the team.
Kansas Will have a good pitching
staff. Morgan, Hoffman and Harry
Relihan have all had experience on the
slab for the Jayhawkers- There are
several freshmen pitchers with high
school regulations WnO should be able
to make good.

fenced men. Brookins, formerly of the
