New Orleans, March 14.-With the

The weather was hotter than ever,
and started the old players on the team
to shooting the ball around as they
throw in the summer up north.
With a day like this today the south
ern people will have a look at baseball
as they play it in the National league,
as the Cubs are as lively now as HES
when spring turns to summer. A plt
of practice will be given the boys IN
the morning and they should pc IN
first-class shape for the contest In the
afternoon.
Chance is figuring on Mordecai Brown
and Jack Pfester to be the big work
ers in the first part of the season, ana
Mccormick has begun a special system
of preparation for the two star tW1rlers.
They will be used in the game TO-DAY,
and will be told to speed the. ball ana
put plenty of twist to rit.s With sucn
hot weather there is little, danger OF
injury of the precious throwing mus
cles.
Fraser and Taylor will be counted
upon to do the heavy stunts in the MID
die of the season, and if Reulbach ana

Green Bugs Are Not in Evidence in
Southern Kansas.

Caldwell, Kan, March 1.-THE wheat
in this vicinity is growing nicely, al
though the growth has not been rapid
owing to rather low temperature. Farm
ers claim stand of about 80 per cent
with a we'll stooled plant. A canvass
Of the farms in a radius of ten miles
has not discovered a single instance of
the presence of Texas green bug or any
insect injurious to growing crops.
At Arkansas City-Millers here have
no reports of green bugs in any Kansas
counties. Bugs are reported in Okla
homa within twenty miles of the Kan
Sas line.
At Winfeld-Careful investigation
just completed by local grain men or
fields over wide territories in this vicin-
ity finds no green bugs. Wheat never
looked finer at this season.
At WelIington-There are no evil
dences of green bugs on the wheat In
Sumner county. Wheat is showing a
healthy growth and the prospects for
good crop were never better.

SELLS .MoRTGAGED PROPERTY
Charge Upon Which a Bourbon County
Woman Is Arrested.

Fort Scott, Kan, March 14.-Deputy
Sheriff George Cowan drove down to
Walkertown and arrested Mrs. Sylvia
J. Cottrell on a state warrant, charging
her with selling mortgaged property.
Mrs. Cottrel1, who is a woman of about
so years of age, was brought to town
by the officer and was taken to Judge
Volker's court for arraignment.
In this case it is alleged that over
year ago Mrs. Cottrell sold horse
over which Mr.. Henning held a mort
gage. She had taken a COW from him
in some transaction, and claimed it
was not as Henning had represented
it to be. She evidently believed that
this transaction empowered her to do
as she pleased with the stock she had
previously mortgaged to Mr.. Henning.

FOUND WRONG MAN GUILTY.
Chanute City Court Has a Joke Per-
petrated on 1t.

Chanute, Kan. March 14.-It is evil
dent that when the court of Chanute a
few days ago fined Henry solomon
$1250 for doing a peeping stunt that
the court got the wrong man. Yet it is
not the courts fault, for the man plead
guilty.
: Solomon is a coiored man, a dish
washer at the Oriental hotel. He was
accused by John Carson, another col
dred man, of having peeped into the
windows of his house. 1t now de-
velops that although Solomon plead
guilty he was not the man who was
actually guilty, and that he took the
blame and paid his fine-perhaps
helped the other man out of town
in order to escape having to tell all
he knew.
Police Chief Yockey has now re-
ceived letter, unsigned. from Arkan-
eas City. enclosing SIS in bills and a
letter asking him to deliver the money
to Solomon and to tell that guy"
meaning Carson. who shot at him at
the time of the peek-a-boo- episode.

he would be back again some time and
walk, through the yard" He added
that he wanted to see the widow"

w. Y. MORGAN FOR GOVERNOR.
AT a Hutchinson Meeting the Legisla-
tor Is Given Welcome.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 14.-More
than 200 persons met last night at a
reception rendered to Representative
w. Y Morgan on his return from the
legislature in Topeka. More than
twenty persons, including some Re
publicans who had opposed Mr.. Nor
gan's election and several Democrats,
made speeches commencing his course
in the legislature. ]. U. Brown,
friend of twenty years standing and
an ex-member of the legislature,
presided. Daniel E. Reid, who oppos-
ed Morgan's election, was the first
speaker and created applause by pro-
posing Mr. Morgan for governor. Sew
eral other speakers Endorsed this SEN
timent, but Mr.. Morgan, in a speech,
disclaimed any ambition of this char
acter. He thanked the meeting for
the testimonial of appreciation of his
services and said his course in the leg
islature had been guided solely by his
convictions and what he deemed to be
the wishes of his constituents
Most of Mr.. Morgan's speech was
devoted to a discussion of the -leg1sla-
ton enacted. Particularly that re-
garding railroads and common car
riers, with which he was intimately in
touch through his chairmanship of the
house railroad committee. He said
that in his judgment the most impor-
tant railroad legislation was the act
amendatory of the general railroad
law, although it had received the least
attention from the press. He deplored
the failure to enact the house pri-
mary law, which he supported as long
as there was hope for it, and explained
that he voted for the compromise pri-
mary bill in the belief that it would
have been an improvement over the
present system of making nominal
lions. Again the governorship was
and Mr.. Morgan said:
Now, that's all right, boys. 1t goes
very we'll as a jolly, but there's nothing
to that. Mention of this sort embar-
raised my work in the legislature, for
it doesn't help a fellow any to be sus-
pected of some sort of ambition"
