Sunday School Convention.
Hundreds of Carriages and Co.

HEADEDBY TWO BANDS
The Youngsters Will Be in
Charge of Their Teachers.
Each Church Expected to Turn

Chanute, Kan, April ia cradle

badly on Wednesday afternoon. 1t is
desired to have all the papas and
mammas who have babies that the
weather won't hurt, turn out with their
go-carts, carriages, baby buggies or
whatever they call them and take part
in the most novel procession the town
has ever seen. There will be several
hundred in line.
Mr.. N. Lindsay is getting up this part
of the parade. 1t is his idea and he
wants to make it a go" In each
church committee is at work hunting
up the babies on the cradle rolls of
the Sunday schools to get them lined
up for the parade. 1t is desired in
addition that all the other babies,
whether they are listed on these cradle
rolls or not, be taken out in the pro-
cession.
The baby parade is a part of a big
parade in which all the children of all
the Sunday schools of the city are to
take part. The procession will be
headed by one and perhaps two bands.
The children will be in charge of their
teachers. All of them are asked to
turn out Wednesday afternoon for the
affair, which is scheduled to start at 1
o'clock. The line of march will be
from Koch Bros. furniture store to the
Hetrick theater.

TO SUE CHANUTE DRUGGIST.
Widow of Man Who Drank Wood
Alcohol wants $4,000 Damages.

lola, Kan, April He. E. Sniff and
G. w. Gordon, Of Leanna, were in the
city today to employ attorneys to bring
a $4,000 damage suit against Chase
Brown, the Chanute druggist who sold
wood alcohol to D. L. Campbell, the
young Leanna farmer who died a few
weeks ago from the effects of drinking
the poison. Messrs. Oyler & Barnes
who have been employed in the case
will file it in the Neosho county district
court the latter part of the week.
Suit is brought on the grounds that
Mr.. Brown is negligent in not labelling
the wood alcohol. 1t will also be alleged
that Campbell called for grain alcohol
The suit is brought by Mrs. Campbell,
the widow of young Campbell. Messrs.
Sniff and Jordan are brothers-in-law of
Campbell.
Mrs Campbell will allege that by the
death of her husband she has been de-
prived of her support and is therefore
entitled to $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Brown claims that Campbell call
ed for wood alcohol, and that he sold
it to him as wood alcohol Brown is said
to be very we'll heeled financially.

DREYFUss TO STAY IN BALL.
Says the Pirates Have Been Making
Him Big Money.

Louisville, KY, April 11.-Barney
Dreyfuss was here to spend a few days
with friends before leaving for Gin
cinnati for the opening game of the
season today. He denies the report
that he may enter in a partnership
with Alex. Labold, of Cincinnati, In a
stable of racers, and says that his in
terests in baseball occupy his time to
the exclusion of any desire for turf
honors.
Dreyfuss has found baseball a pay
ing business since he left Louisville for
Pittsburg, and has made money every
year since his first season in the
Smoky City. Last year, with a club
which finished in third place, he bank
ed profits of $4,000, and when the
team won the pennant his profits ran
we'll above this figure each season.
The most pleasing surface indica-
ton that the Pirates will do better
this season than last, according to
Owner Dreyfuss, is the fact that Fred
Clarke has completely recovered from
the rheumatism which handicapped
him last year, and that Abbattichio,
Anderson and Mailman, the new re-
cruits, have shown. so well in the
props. Abby is expected to field up
to Ritchey's form, and to hit 40 points
better than Claude.

A PHONE ROW AT MORAN.
City Council Keeps Out p Company
Which Offers Cheaper Rates.


lola, kan. April 11.-Dr. belong, of
Moran, was in lola today seeking legal
advice. He wishes to know whether it
is possible to take steps to compel the
city council of Moran to grant the
Mutual Telephone company a franchise
to do business in Moran. The Mutual
Telephone company is partnership
concern in which every telephone sub
scriber is a stakeholder. It has teIe-
phone system which reaches Bronson
Elsmore, Savonburg and Humboldt and
has a complete system of rural lines in
that section of the country. The local
telephone company at Moran has OBJ
jected to the granting of franchise to
the Mutual company, as they do not
desire a competing system, and the
Moran city council has declined to grant
a franchise. A good many of the Mo
ran business people desire the Mutual
company to come in because it reaches
so many farmers who do business at
Moran and because of the further fact
that the service is so much cheaper
than the local company is furnishing
Subscribers in the Mutual company pay
from rs to 80 cents a month for the use
of their phones.
Mr.. belong was advised that the city
council is the sole judge as to whether
the franchise is granted or not. and
that it will be impossible for the Mutual
company to get into Moran without the
consent of the city council.
