Shut Out by Score of to in Base.
ball Game.

There was no joy at Washburn col
lege last night, their team of ball play
ers having met defeat at the hands OF
the farmers from Manhattan by a
score Of 1 to 0. The closeness Of the
score does not alter the situation in
for it was the first defeat that the
home team has suffered in weeks. The
more enthusiastic student fans had al
most decided that the ball team would
finish the season as their football team
did last fall, with an untarnished list
of victories.
Perhaps two hundred and fifty men,
women, boys and girls witnessed the
game, but what they lacked in numbers
was made up in noise and to a listener
outside of the high fence the din 1nd1-
Gated an attendance of several thou
sand It was a battle between the box
artists from the first ball pitched and
the fact that WaShburn secured but
two hits and one of them scratch,
against seven garnered by the farmers
sons indicates unusual strength in that
department of the Agricultural college
aggregation.
The noise emanating from the Man
haitian section in the form of college
yells and songs indicates that though
the student body may be in favor OF
dropping the agriculture" portion OF
the college title that it will always
have a place on the field of sport The
score in yesterdays game was ind1cat-
ed by O until the later part OF the sixth
inning when the Aggies started the
trouble.
In this inning with two down Parks
hit safely to left field and stole second.
Dunlavy dropping the ball which
reached him in time for put out had
he held it. A timely hit by Citizen per-
mitted Parks to cross the home plate
with the only score of the game. The
game was interesting from start to nm
ish. each team having many chances 70
score which were lost on account ol
stupid base running.
Washburn's last game of the season
viii be played with K. U. Friday on the
Washburn field. On account or the
closing examinations which are nov
being taken at Washburn the game
will not be called until four O'CLOCK SO

In 1870 he was elected mayor Of To-
peka and made a bold stand against
gambling and for prohibition, his atti-
tude on these questions being well I'M
derstood. He was largely instrumental
in securing the passage Of the Murray
prohibitory law in 1887 and has been
an ardent supporter Of the temperance
cause since that time.
In 1894 he was elected as president
of the State Temperance Union and 1T
was under his direction that much of
the early and more successful work of
that organization was accomplished.
He was one of the organizers of the
Lutheran synod in this state and it
was through his fundamentally that
the first five Lutheran churches in
Kansas were organized.

Adelaide ThurstOn's Play.

THE Girl From Out Yonder"
is the name of Adelaide Thurs
toms play. It is a>comedy drama
in four acts. with the scenes laid
off the coast of Maine. Pauline
Phelps and Marion Short wrote
the play. It tells the heart
throbbing life story of men and
women who live by the sea. The
whole play breathes full and
strong of the ocean and its salty
tang. Miss Thurston makes her
first entrance dressed in the oil
skins and sou'wester of a fisher
boy, and those who have seen her
say that she never looked pref
tier. The comedy situations are
said to crop out at the most un-
expected and satisfactory places.
The scenery is described as be-
ing very handsome, the work of
the best New York artists. The
production is the most preten-
tious that Miss ThurstOn's man
ager. Francis x. Hope, has yet
given any of her plays. The
Girl From Out Yonder" will be
the attraction at the Jefferson
Theatre, Thursday. Jan. %.

legislature enacted the laws necessary
to reduce the executive salaries of
