Atchison, Kan, Jan. 1o.-There is con-
siderable scare about CHAMBERS in Atchi-

to investigate reports that horses be-
longing to Jim Conway, near Harmony
Garden, and Tom Sawyer, at 1929 Mound
street, have 1t. Both Conway and Saw
yer are colored men. Smith looked up
the law and found that it is his duty
to report suspicious cases to the state
sanitary commission. If the horses APP
pear to have CHAMBERS, he will notify the
commission, and quarantine the infected
animals until the sanitary officers ar
rive. =
It was also reported to the sheriff
that horses belonging to the Atchison

TO SAVE THE FARMS.
Bill Designed to Correct Land Certif1-
cate Land Grabbing.

Western Kansas members have
started their fight before the legisla-
ture to save the farms" of the west
ern Kansas settlers which are being
gobbled up by land sharks under the
recent decision of the Kansas supreme
court in the Spencer Smith case
Representative Ike Crum1ey OF ThOm-
as county, and Senator Charles Bus
chow of Thomas county, introduced in
their respective branches OF the legis-
lature Wednesday which is known as
the Carver BILL, calculated to wipe
out the claims of the old school land
certificate holders, and give the present
owners of the land a clear title. The
bill was drafted by Judge T. F. Carver
of Topeka.
A portion of the bill as introduced is
as follows:
whereas, Certain school lands situa-
ted in various counties of the state were
sold to purchasers whose interest in
the land purchased was subsequently,
declared forfeited, on the ground of de-
fault in the payment of money due the
state, and thereafter such lands were
sold to new purchasers to whom GER
tihcates of purchase were issued
Whereas, In many cases full and
correct records and returns have not
been made by the county clerk and
sheriff of the proceedings upon which
said declared forfeitures were made and
in some cases the notices issued by the
county clerk to purchasers of their de-
faults and the sheriff's returns of SER
vice thereof have been lost or Destroy
ed to the prejudice of the rights of
such new purchasers; therefore, be 1t
enacted by the legislature of the state
OF Kansas:
''Where entries which appear upon the
records of school land sales, or of
school sale certificates, in the Office of
the county clerk, such entries
shall be prima facie evidence, in any
action or proceeding in any court of
this state that. proper notice of the
purchasers default has been issued and
legal service made thereof. Any entry
upon said records of the county clerk
as cancelled forfeited reverted to
state and the like. with or without
date, shall be held to be an entry in
dicating- that the interest of the pur-
chaser had been forfeited
mo action shall be brought by any
purchaser of school land or by the as
signee of any such purchaser in any
court Of this state to recover any tract
OF school land, or to enforce the pur-
chaser's right or interest in the same
when forfeiture thereof has been de-
clered, unless such action be COM
menced within six months. after such
forfeiture was declared, or, when the
time has already elapsed, within six
months after this act takes effect.
For the purpose of giving full force
and effect to the provisions of each sec
ton of this act, it shall be held that
either of the preceding sections would
have been enacted had the other of such
sections not been included herein; it be-

New York. Jan. 1O.-Channing

the name Billiard has been we'll
known for many years, died on Tues
day in the New York hospital from

TWO COFFINS NOW.
Woman Joins Her Husband in Death
on Trip Across Continent.

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Mrs. Edwin Harry
Smith of Denver died in the union sta
ton just after being removed from a
train, in the baggage car of which were
her husbands remains. The arduous
and painful duty of bringing the body
half way across the continent that it
might be buried in Baltimore, their
home city, was too much for Mrs.
Smiths strength and in Chicago she,
too, succumbed. The train which she
intended to take for the east bore two
collins instead of one when it left in the
afternoon.
Ten years ago Edwin Harry Smith
was one OF, the leading lawyers of Balti-
more, prominent socially, rich, but poor
in health. He was stricken with con-
sumption, and went to Denver with his
wife, thinking that the climate might
help him to shake off the malady He
built up an extensive practice in Den
yer before he succumbed to the dis
ease. He was a member of the prom
inent Marshall family.
Mrs. Smith was daughter of the
late John E. Hurst, the leading whole
sale dry goods merchant of Baltimore.
She was 35 years old. In 1895 her father
was the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Maryland.

WHY HE WAS LUCKY.
lizard to Beat That Combination -
Said DOnahue

1--WE were playing Detroit one day
and Killian was pitching says Ad Joss.
1.-The big left-hander had us all on the
run, and everybody was polxing the ball
right at some one. 1t was cinch we
could not win, because things were
breaking so good for Killian.
Gee, but he's getting away lucky:
one of the players said, as Flick smash
ed out long hit that Mcintyre nailed
after a short run.
a. Lucky! Lucky said Donahue, why
wouldn't he be lucky? He's got horse
shoe in his hip pocket, a rabbits foot
in his shirt, a lucky stone hung around
his neck and two big coons up in the
stand are pulling for him to beat the
band. OF course he's lucky "-Cleve-

Larry Hesterfer. the young Jersey
pitcher, who jumped the Newark East
ern league team last season, has ac-
cepted terms with the Toronto club.
Hesterfer considered himself illtreatcd
by Manager Burnham last July and quit
the Sailors. Durham sold his release
to the Toronto club and Hesterfer came
to terms with Manager Ed Barrow.
It is reported in Washington that the
Boston and Washington American
league clubs have arranged a trade
whereby Bob Unglaub goes to Wash
tngton and Jake Stahl goes to Boston.
Unglaub has been playing with the
W1lliamsport team of the Tri-State
league and was the property of the
Boston club before he Jumped to the
outlaw organization.
Muggsy McGraw is investigating Los
Angeles as a baseball training spot. He
has heard of a park out there-Ascot by
name-which he will look into.
Kid Elberfeld, who is raising chick
SIiS III d SIIldlI Town IN New 4Ork, has
written to Frank Farrell that he has
taken on lot Of weight and that his
"dinky' leg is on the mend.
Harry Eels, whose work with Cleve-
land in the early part of last season led
Manager Lajcie to believe that he had
picked up a star, has been sold to To-
ledo, of the American association, at a
private price. Eels is a youngster with
a world Of speed and good curves, but
he failed to show strength enough to
keep his place in the big leagues
Bill Armour says that all talk of
Higgins or Evers being as good as La
joie is rot The former Cleveland man.
ager says: Larry can get the ball
easier and touch out more runners at
second base with one hand than either
Higgins or Evers with two. No other
second baseman is in Lajoie's Alass for
a minute, but day after day at CIeve-
land I sat on the bench and stared
open-mouthed at Lajoie."
1t cost New York 81, 900 to secure Tom
Corcoran of the Cfncinnatis. That play
er insists that he was in the best OF
shape last season and he is sure he will
be able to do good stunt for McGraw
in 1907. The New York Globe says Of
young Moriarity, who made very
good impression last season s'Moriarity
is a good player in almost any position,
but he should be developed into third
baseman. He is of the right build
along the lines of Bradley and Devlin-
and possesses a good throwing arm.
and has an excellent baseball head. He
always knows what to do with the ball.
This young man is fighter-nOt the
rowdy kind, however-and developed
last season into a fair batter. He made
many long and timely hits"

NEVER TIRES
OF that Food. That Restored Her to
Health.


my food was killing me and 1 did
mt know the cause" writes a Colo.
young lady: ''For7 two years was thin
and sickly, suffering from indigestion
and inf1ammatory rheumatism.
81 had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living. and many of the remedies
recommended, and got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that try Grape
Nuts, and 1 began at once, eating it
with a little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day I am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs, in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from in
digestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
IT know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that owe my restored health. 1 still
eat the food twice a day and never tire
of it," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The favor of Grape-Nuts IS peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable healthfui quail
ity that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources OF rheuma tism Is
from overlooking the system with acid
material. the result of imperfect di-
gestion and assimilation.
As soon as improper food Is ADAM
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regul-
arly. digestion is made strong, the or
gans do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity There's a reason: Read

Child Dies With All Marks of Old Age
Upon Him.

Chicago. Jan. 10.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Minneapolis says
James Anderson, who died at the city
hospital here yesterday at the age of
IL years and months was, in the opin-
age at the time of his death, so far as
the condition OF his vital organs deter
mine the age of man. When the child
was years old his hair began to turn
gray, his eyesight began to fail and he
walked with the deliberate care of a
person well advanced in years. AS a
very young child he was exceptionally
bright, but his mental faculties were
gradually failing for the last two years,
SO he was little better than person in
his dotage during the last few months.
