We notice that number of our
enterprlSlng citizens have taken
time to cut their weeds, and by so
doing have added quite materially
to the identifying of the city.
Many more should follow the good
example.

GOING BACK TO KANSAS.

am going back to Kansas
One more before die.
This cheerful wish long have planned
And dreamed to crafty.
Two weeks Il blissiul pleasure
Beneath that sky Of blue
Would satisfy my iongings
As nothing else could do"
must visit Sunny Kansas
In sOul-surprising Spring.
Where the trees renew their ve7dure
And the birds know how to sing,
To hear the prairie chickens
Booming in the early morn.
And to see the red-b bud blossoms
When it's time Tor planting corn.
Perhaps two weeks Of Sumner
Would give me greater JOY,
Each day to 20 in swimming
As used to when a boy:
To see the towering thunder clouds
And watch the lightning play.
And See the FIRE flies dancing
At the dewy close Of day.
When the cool sweet watermelon
Is ready for your knife
And all around is thrilling
With full strong vigorous life
when the juicy luscious peaches
Hang inviting on the tree,
The glorious summer season
Is good enough for me.
Then-l think the early autumn
Would be the best Of all.
When the crickets are in chorus
And the sun kissed apples fall
When the lazy Indian simmer
Trembles in the sleepy air
When the sumack. oak and maple
Paint the woods with colors rare.
Yet long 10 make my visit
In the keen sharp. tingling cold,
When there's casting, sleighing, skating
And the wintry sports Of old;
By the hickory fire at evening
When the cider sparkIes clear,
With someone cracking walnLts,
With A pan Of apples hear.
I'm not exactly homesick-
Yet, As the years roll round
can't BE- quite ontented
On the shores Of Puget Sound
Till I've made FOUR trips to Kansas
One in spring-time, one in fall,
One in winter, one in summer
The last the best Of all.
No, wouldn't live in Kansas
I'd not go back tostay.
Two weeks OF each fair season
Would last for many day.
Whenever leave this country
Wherever may go,
will buy round trip ticket,
want you all to know.

For A Square Deal.

The Kearney County Advocate,
published at Lakin, Kansas, has
the following to say of the story
told in the Rustler some time ago
in regard to the two boys of this
city who were scalded on one Of
the Santa Fe trains near that
town. The Rustler had no desire
to color the story in any way, and
simply gave it as it was given to
us. The Advocate says:
The Great Bend Rustler, of
August 9th, in a lengthy article
narrating the injuries received by
Ray Chapman and George
Thatcher, the men who were
scalded near MayIine on August
23d, gives a truthful account, but
as to the treatment received at
Lakin. nothing could be farther
from the truth. The Rustler
says:
They were put in the baggage
car and hauled into Lakin where
they were taken from the train
and left without any attention on
the depot platform. The city
authorities at Lakin refused to
have anything to do with them
because they were brought there
by the railroad company"
The writer was at the depot on
arrival of No. s on August 90,
when the train conductor came
running up and asked if we had a
physician here; when told that we
had, he said: For God sake get
him here quick as we have two
men in the baggage car badly
scalded." DR.. Johnson was
phoned to, and in person we went
direct to his Office; he was getting
ready to answer call, and we re-
paired Immediately to the depot
with the physician, who gave first
aid relief, when he had the I'M
fortunate men carried into the
DEPOT waiting room, where DR..

ed their wounds, when they were
moved up town. where the doctor
continued to render them every
attention until they left for Great
Bend. Had the boys given the
information asked for after their
injuries had been dressed, viz
who and where they resi- ded theil
friends would have received WORD
at once, but they told US they liv.
ed in Kansas City, but what theil
names we're was rome of oul

Birmingham Athletic Club.

Birmingham Athletic Club. ....... 24
 The sons of Old Eli met their first defeat on their southern trip last night, when the Athletic club basket ball team de- feated them by 8 score of "A to IS.
 The game was replete with roughing, in which Yale set the pace. In fact she set such a pace in roughing in the first half that the Athletic club team was literally forced to "get in the game" and do some roughing also, as mere matter of self-protection.
 In fact, roughing was the feature of the game. Yale making 27 fouls 1S in the first half and IA in the second. Moves made 9 of the fouls in the first half and one Yale man 6 more in the second half Both men played left guard against Woodruff, Birmingham's right forward, and they seemed to have it in for him.
 Finally in desperation Woodruff struck Cushman and was taken out of the game. 1t would not have hurt for Cushman and Moves to have been taken out by the officials as both were guilty of violations of the rules time and again.
 Ware was probably responsible for Bir- mingham's winning the game, for in the last part of the second half he made two beautiful goals from the field. Berry was also conspicuous for his playing in that half. Jones played a steady game through out and made of the. Birmingham points, while Ware made g. Woodruff had 4 to his credit and would probably have had others had the Yale men not eentered their attack on him and tried to rough him all the time
 For the second half Yale sent in an en- tirely new team. The five men who 3layed the first half were badly winded, while the club team seemed as fresh as when the game started. Among the members of the second team was Kinney, the Yale coach who made all the points made by his team in that half, in number.
 Yale had 1 point the lead at the end of the first half. Her team started rough ing from the time the whistle blew, and Umpire Dedman was forced to penalize them time and again Had Birmingham been able to throw foul goals she could have cnched the game in the first half. but only three fouls were made out of the twenty-seven trials. None of the Birming- ham players could find the goal when throwing from the foul line.
 In the first half Clifford, Yales left for ward, and Fargo. center, scored all of Yales eleven points. Their passing was superior to that of Birmingham and they made a number of pretty goals from the field. They were less guilty of roughing

than any of the other Yale players in that half.
 For Birmingham in that half Jones play ed brilliantly and several times carried the ball down the field to the Yale goal and made a pair of field goals. Riddle was fast on the defensive, but Clifford and Fargo were a little too strong for the Birmingham guards.
 The locals seemed stronger in the sec ond half than the first. The fresh Yale team looked as if it was going to run away with the game at the beginning of the half, but after about five minutes of play they weakened and Birmingham gained strength.
 Ware was badly hurt by fall to the floor after jumping for the ball, but after minutes rest he went gamely back into the contest and actually played better ball Yale was again guilty of fouling, but with the exception of Cushman it did not seem malicious. Finally in a scrim- mage for the ball Woodruff lost his tenn per and struck the Yale player. He had many excuses for such action but should have held his temper and shown him self above such an exhibition
 When Gibson took Woodruff's place he was fresh and simply played rings around Cushman, who did not try any more roughing.
 Kinney certainly played the best game of the evening, but she is considered one of the best in the country. He is no longer a player, but is Yale's coach.
 The public was scarcely surprised at the Birmingham victory The Athletic club is considered the strongest south ern team and Yale feared defeat The visitors hardly showed the same physical condition that might have been expected whereas the local players were able to finish the contest without seeming to be winded
 The lineup of the two teams were as

 At Fair Grounds.
 New Orleans January Twenty 2-year- olds started their racing careers at the Fair Grounds today. The race filled so well that 1t was divided, ten youngsters starting in each half. Newton Benning ton won the first half with Glen Roy. and also won the second with Deoro. Both colts were ridden by O'Neill, and were we'll supported in the betting. Weight and a faint heart defeated Ben Holder, the hot favorte, in the New Year handi- cap for Swear -olds, at a mile and seventy yards and worth S1430 to the winner All of the starters are derby candidates, and, at the weights, Hollowmas, who had some support at F to 1, proved best. The colt was full of running, was skillfully handled and won easily by three lengths. Glen Roy and Phil Finch were the only winning favorites. The weather was cloudy, the track good and the attendance large.
