WHY MISSOURI LOSES.

with such ex~asperating regular
ity to the University of Kansas.
The type Of men on the Missouri
teams has been equal in every
way to hat Of the Jayhawkers
and the coaching sometimes
superior; but nearly always the
boys from the Sunflower state
have been able to put it over the
Tigers.
Last Saturday it was demon
strated that the trouble at the
University in regard to athletics
is Clark W. Hetherington. The
general view in Lexington here
tofore has been that Mr.. Hether-
ington's unpopularitv has henn !
the outcome merely of his in
sistance on satisfactory class
work as a requisite to compe-
tition in athletics, which is all
well and good. But as a matter
Of fact Mr.. Hethcrington is the
Anthony Comstock of Missouri
athletics. He is guided not by
purity but by prudery.
In the interscholastic track
meet at Columbia last Saturday,
under the auspices Of the Uni
versity, the Wentworth athletes
received the unfairest sort of
treatment. At their arrival Mr..
Hetherington gave to them cots
in the gymnasium and tick
cts emitting them to meals
served by the ladies of a church.
These meals consisted of sand
wiches, salads, coffee and other
food, good in itself, but insult
able for anyone in training. But
through Capt. Anderson the
cadets obtained accommodations
at fraternity houses.
At the meet the field judges
announced that in the weight
events the first five men in the
preliminaries would qualify for
the finals. In the preliminaries
of the hammer throw Anderson
of Wentworth was fourth and in
the finals he won the event.
There was no dispute whatever
and the result was announced.
Later in the day Mr.. Hethering-
ton found out what had taken
place and, since under Confer
ence rules only three men are
supposed to qualify for the
finals, ruled Anderson out. He
did not inform the Wentworth
coach Of what he had done and
and his action was not known
until after the meet when the
medals were being awarded.
In the shot put a still more ir-
regular thing happened. Leo OF
Yeatman High school at one Of
his puts was disqualified by the
Judges on a foul and the put was
not measured. Anderson Won
, the event. When the circum.
stances of Leo's foul were related
f to Hetherington he declared
I that no foul had been committed
. Then instead Of allowing Leo q
: new put, he found a hole that ht
I guessed Leo had made, measured
5 it and gave the eyentto the Yeat

The Polite Planter.

81 was stopping with Mississippi
planter for few days. said the colonel,
''and one afternoon 1 fell asleep in ham
mock on the veranda. I had slept for
more than an hour when 1 heard the step
of the planter, and minute later he stood
over me and said:
!" 'Kurnel, would yo oblige me by
waking up?'
Certainly I replied as reused up.
" And now would you oblige me by
walking around to the rear of the house?'
"He walked with me, and I noticed
that the sky was growing dark and that
there was a peculiar looking cloud in the
southwest. In the rear of the house was
what I took for an outdoor cellar, but when
we reached it the planter pointed and said:
"And now if yo' will kindly enter our
cyclone proof cellar I shall esteem it a
great favor
81 entered to find all the family there,
and two minutes later cyclone came
whirling along, unroofed the house and
tore up several trees 100 years old. I
always wondered why the planter didn't
yell at me and swear, but his way was the

Why Pa Was Mad.

Farmer Jones, after eating hearty
dinner, stepped out on his porch to enjoy
smoke, when he noticed in front of the
house, which was on the main road, an
overturned load of hay, and beside it a
small boy, seemingly in great perplexity.
The farmer went out and spoke to the boy.
''Well, my boy, l see you have had an
accident, but never mind. Turn your
horses to the hay and come in and have
some dinner.
"Ican't, said the boy; "pa' Il be mad. I"
ooh, no, he won't. Come on
"Nope, I can't; pail be mad
"Now, look here, sonny. You didn' t
mean to upset that hay. There's no harm
done. Come right along, and after you
have had something to eat I'll help you to
load up again.
The boy consented, saying as he looked
back at the hay, eRut l just know pa Il
be mad
After he had eaten and the farmer had
started back with him to load up the lat
ter said, "Now, don't you feel better p
every much, sir, but pail be mad,
though. .
''Why will your pa be mad p
because he under that load of hay. "

A Oolored Deacon's Prayer,

A white minister was conducting religi-
GUS services in colored church in North
Carolina recently. After exhorting BIT
he asked an old colored deacon to lead in
prayer, and this is the appeal which the
brother in black offered his brother in white:
y % Lord, glib him de eye OBJ de eagle

hands to de gospel plow. Tie his tongue
to de line OBJ truth. Nail his ear to de

SUIT FOR A LARGE SUM OF MONEY
 |S FILE )
UNION BANK & TRUST COMPANY OF PHOENIX BRINGS SUIT FOR s2o,ooo AGAINST THE BoNDsMEN OF DEFAULTING CASHIER.

PHOENIX, May 30.--In the district court this afternoon the taking of tes- timony and examination of witnesses in the case of the Union Bank & Trust company versus the Title Guaranty & Surety company of Scranton, Pa, was begun. The case was called this morn ing and the forenoon was spent in the examination and selection of jurors, the jury being complete at noon.
 The Scranton company, which is be- ing sued by the local banking institu- ton, was bondsman for John Mcdowell, the defaulting cashier of the Union bank, who skipped out of this city shy some twenty thousand dollars in his accounts. Mcdowell was captured in Calcxico, Cal, and brought back here some time ago by Sheriff Hayden. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced in short order, but was held over here in jail in order that he might testify in the suit which the bank brought against his surety company.
 The Title Guaranty & Surety com pany was McDowell's E bondsman in the sum of $20,000, and it s for that amount. that the bank in Phoenix is suing.

BIC ORANGE PACKING
 HOUSE FOR PHOENIX IF
 ASSOCIATION PLANS CARRY

PHOENIX, May 30.--Pboenix is to have big orange packing house, and if plans of the Arizona Packing asso- citation are carried out building will be erected on Buchanan street just across from the Santa Fe depot.
 Three city lots on the north side of Buchanan have been purchased within the past few days by the Arizona asso- citation, and it is said that plans for the building, which will be modern and up- to-date, are now being completed.
 These three lots will give the associ- ton l5O feet frontage on Buchanan by l37Is feet running to the alley between Buchanan and Madison streets. This will give entrance to the packing house on two sides.
 George N. Marshall and F. s. Mccall purchased the three lots from Pecka brothers about ten days ago, and two days ago, resold them to the Arizona association.
 Since the success of the last season the orange growers of the valley have been working on plans for big packing house that would handle their crop, and the purchase of the three lots near the Santa Fe freight depot is the final step preparatory to starting the actual work of erecting the building.

MINING MACHINERY GETS CHEAP FER
 RA I [ $
REDUCTION FOR TRANsPoRTA- TON OF MINING SUPPLIES TO BE MADE BY RAILROADS EN- TERING THE TERRITORY.

PHOENIX, May 30.--Another reduc. tion in freight rates of the utmost i'm portance to mining men of the terri. tory has been announced by the South ern Pacific company. This is a reduc. ton on the rate on mining machinery.
 The rate of $l.7S on machinery from Denver to Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa and Florence has been reduced from $l.7S to $l.47R per hundred pounds. The rate of Kelvin and Winkelman will be l5 cents per hundred higher than the rato to Phoenix.
 The new rate went into effect on June 20. and as dozens of companies in the Pinal county districts are already having machinery shipped in or are contemplating placing large orders, the reduction comes as a great boon. 1t does not take much iron to make a ton and the saving to the mine owner on 2 comparatively small shipment will be considerable.

IMMENSE IRRIGATION SCHEME PLANNED FOR IMPERIAL VAL
 LEY BY 8. P. R. R. COMPANY

YUMA, May 3O.--Yuma citizens are eated over the fact that the most stu pendous irrigation system in the world, calling for an outlay of $5,00O,000 on construction work and retaining l. 50O,000 acres of desert lands, is the definite project of E. II. Hartman in the Imperial valley.
 His plan contemplates an immense high line canal from point >on the Alamo river l25 miles long and to cover approximately 2,500 square miles. With water this land may become the most fertile on the American continent.
 Mir. Hartman figures that sales of railroad lands, redeemed by this irri- gation project, will return to the South ern Pacific the entire cost of the canal and appurtenant works. At the moment the project, though a determined even tuality, hinges upon the payment by congress to Hartman of the $600,000 urged by the president as reimburse ment for shutting out the flooding of tho Colorado river.

FAMOUS INDIAN
 SCOUT MARR|ES
-,,NK CAROLINA, WHO TRAILED WITH THE LATE AL SHEER, vEps PAULINE, A M'DowELL INDIAN.

pEOENIX, May 29.-From war paint .,a feathers, the mountain wilds and @, vigwam, to the probate court, where \, was married according to the rites of ,Ss paleface, is the big jump made by Tank Capoliva, chief of the Mcdowell i,5ians, who yesterday heard Judge psalips make him the husband of Paul ,,. me of the Mcdowell Indians.
 Capoliya, who speaks and under .,,pds English better than most people ,i his race who have never attended ., Indian school, had to translate the ona.e language of the marriage cere- r,rv 10 his bride. As he did it, she ,,p5 not hold back broad grin.
 Inst twelve months ago Capoliva s s.,, wife died. She was the daughter of "CofTee Pot,' and her name was Mary Being an educated Indian wom- a, she taught Capilova much of the Irowledge of English and the white man customs he now possesses.
 Ten years ago Capoliva came to Me nwell, being one of the oldest Indians tbere in point of residence. He has al ways been a power among his people md is looked upon by them as the big chief of the tribe.
 Though none of the achievements of Cspoliya are matters of record, he has been famous in his day as an Indian scout in Arizona, serving with the wide ly known frontiersman, Al Seiber, dur ina the days when Seiber was one of .hs governments mainstays in Arizona.
 CapOliva can lay claim to a number of notable achievements, such as help ing Seiber and others to trail down and bring to punishments bands of bad ln- iiaus.
 From the days when he cast aside the brsechcOut and donned the garb of the white man, Capoliva has been true to those he was serving, and several white men, amonw them Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams. who has known him a number of years, speak in the highest terms of CapOliya.
 Capoliva is "good Indian," and he s not dead by any means.
