The Stabel's Building.

George Stabe1 is laying the foundation
for his new building, corner of Palisade
and Columbia avenues, which, it is un-
derstood, will be a neat structure 1t
will be used for a drug store, bakery
post office and late reports say he will
have garage there. 1t is generally
recognized as regrettable that this
stretch of property was not purchased
by the company, but the Stabels Under
stood the demand of Palisades for a
high-class establishment and no doubt
will keep a place worthy of the quality
of the town, 1t is said, also, that a
lunch room will be opened, which would
naturally draw largely from the park
crowds in summer

Parsons, Kan, Feb. 26.-This town
will be governed by the women for
perhaps a month, the trial beginning
ere long If plans In contemplation
now do not fail.
On March 8sthe club women OF the
city are going to meet and organize
q city federation. The plan is to have
this federation hold an election and
elect one of their members as mayor
OF the city, and two members from
each ward to act as councilwomenA
After they have their city government
co mpleted. Mayor Moses and the
councilmen will be- asked to resign
OF course, the mayor and his
councilmen will hold themselves in
reserve so as to assume the func-
tons Of government at any time
that there Is any danger Of affairs
getting away from the petticoat gov-
eminent. But to all intents and
purposes the woman mayor and her
councilwo men will have charge OF
the affairs of the city. The council
will meet and the mayor Will ap-
point her chief of police from among

cilwomen. She will also appoint
tho other city officers. and in fact,
perform all the duties. Of mayor of
Parsons. s
some Of the club women OF the
city have taken this matter UP and
have already selected their candi-
date for mayor, providing Mayor
Moses will help them by giving them
at least the color of authority. OF
course, the mayor ana councilmen
can't really resign, but they can
help the women with their plan. The
woman who has been selected for
mayor would hH the Office all right
and the city would not suffer If she
was mayor in fact as well as just
playing mayor There are also
women in each of the wards who
would make excellent councilwomen,
and would legislate along lines that
are needed in the city. There are
women who would make excellent
policewomen in town.

Of the export shipments of Wells Bros.

carload of butter which had been
shipped from the Wells Brothers
Commercial company here. The but
ter was loaded on q steamer for Lon
don. The English law requires but
ter to have not over 10 per cent OF
water. If it does have more than 15
per cent of water the government con-
hscates it and the shipper loses the
shipment. For this reason the COM
mission men have United States chem
lists test every shipment. Each tub is
tested and labeled with the amount OF
water, butter fat, etc.. contained. This
car Of Coffeyville butter passed the
highest test Of any butter that day.

Amateurs at Majestic.
Four amateur acts of more or less
pretension and worth were put on at
the Majestic last night In addition to
the regular good show and all of them
but one seemed to be heartily enjoyed
by the unusually large. audience that
was on hand. This one was presented
by a gentleman who was introduced az
Sunny Jim" Turner. He is an Eng

worked as a street car conductor
The three other acts of the amateur
variety were put on by Tony Foster,
who was good as black faced come

New York, Feb, 26.-Ty Cobb, who

from the Detroit club, has this to say
about his case:
las a general thing the baseball
public gets but one side of an argu-
ment between an owner and a player,
and that side is the owners. Take a
young player who goes to a club for a
small salary and makes good.
He is tied hands and foot because
the. agreement between organized
clubs forbids any other club from
dickering with him. His talent is all
he has, and only one club will talk
with him, and that club says Play
with us at the salary we offer or quit
the game
Il don't want to appear off1cious. I
am only after my rights. I gave De-
trott two years OF good baseball at a
low salary. and now the club does not
seem willing to pay me a salary COM
mensurate with the efforts put forth.

In case there IL clamor for shorter

much dilly-dallying between infielders
and pitcher now. Let us have q rule
prohibiting any fnflelder from going
up to the pitcher and engaging him ia
conversation, when either Of them

New Orleans, Feb. 26.-Big Tim Sui
IVAN and his racehorse trainer, Archie

dentist. Sir Toddingten, the big chest
nut colt owned by the New York sena-
tor. is minus two teeth and Big Tim
and thinner are anxious to And some
mo1Rr doctor who can fill the gaps in
Sir Toddington,s row of worries.
While racing one day last week Sir
Toddington fell and knocked out two
of his upper teeth These front teeth
are known as "tearers." With them and
the lips horse picks up his food. When
a mouthful of feed has been obtained
It is nasticated by aid Of the back
teeth, or grinders as they are call
ed
The loss Of Sir Toddington's front
teeth is therefore a serious drawback
to his physical welfare He cannot
pick up his oats with the freedom of
old. Consequently he has not thrived
as well as he did when the door to his
stomach was filed with worries. He
has lost flesh and his naturally robust
health has dwindled down to q condi-
eion where his training has been dis
continued. tas 4l@f-a

supply Sir Toddington with two teeth

than a plate because 1t holds the teeth
in place much better and obviates all
Chanc6 or an accident IN the form OF
the plate slipping down the horses
throat while gulping down a mouthfu1
of oats.
srd hate to have anything like that
happen" said thinner. 'Just imagine
my sending some message as this to
Big Tim: Sir Toddington has lost his
plate; suspect that he is now chewing
his oats in his stomach"
This idea of supplying a horse with
false teeth Is not a new one. The horse
Gi1pin that is now racing here has a
set OF false teeth. A cast Of bis jaw
was made and grinders" set into a
plate" This operation took place q
few years ago In Chicago. Since then
the horse has had no trouble to chew
his feed and has never been moon
venienced by having the teeth slip
down his throat.
Chapultepeo Is regarded as q certain
winner OF both the Crescent City and

better than the other a-year-olds in the
south that horsemen declare he cannot
lose both events unless he meets with
an accident.
The derbaes are worth In the aggre-
gate 81 600 Il is because Chapultepec
has such q fFst-cIass mortgage on this
amount OF money that Fred Burlew
recently refused an offer OF $4,000 for

that with a fair amount Of luck Cha
pultepec will win 10000 this season and
that he would be foolish to part with
him for figure less than this sum.
