Topeka Hopes t. BE in the Fast
Western League.
Wichita Also Has q Chance to
Land There.
MEETING SATURDAY.
Cooley and Isbell Have Been
Made Good Offers.
The Western Association Is Not
Evenly Balanced.

will Topeka be represented in the
Western league next seasons? This is
the all-absorbing topic of discussion in
baseball circles and lis assuming more
prominence than the national election.
The chances at the present time are
very favorable to Topeka and Wichita
both joining the Western league, and
thus making an eight club class A cir
cult with Topeka, Wichita, Denver,
Pueblo, Lincoln, Omaha, Des Moints
and Sioux City as members.
The final verdict in the matter will
be reached Saturday morning at the
annual meeting of the Western asso-
citation which has been called for 10
o'clock at the Baltimore hotel Presi-
dent Norris L O'NeilI of the Western
league has been in Kansas City for
several days comforting with President
d. M. Shively of the Western associa-
ton. Frank Isbell. president of the
Wichita club and Dick Cooley of the
local club have also been there. O'Nelll
has made Shively direct proposition
to pay $1,000 to the Western association
for these two towns, In addition Coo
ley and Isbell agree to add another
thousand which would make neat sum
of thousand dollars for each of the
remaining six clubs Several owners
have expressed themselves favorable to
the O'Neill offer and everything looks
good from a Topeka standpoint at the
present time.
ent time is not evenly balanced. To-
peka, Wichita and Oklahoma City are
the drawing towns of the circuit and
the only ones which can maintain a
high salary list. The other towns are
forced to drop below the salary lists of
- II L.
is the Inevitable result every season.
Should Topeka and Wichita both leave,
the remaining six clubs would probably
arrange to dispose of Oklahoma City
to the Texas league, and three towns
of the calibre of Independence, Coffey-
Vile and Bartlesville added to COM
plete the circuit
It will cost Cooley about $1,000 to
put his end of the deal through and
provide a team for next season. Nearly
every position will have to be filled
by making purchases. and he has only
a remnant of team now after the
sales to the big leagues and the draft
ing season. This will entail a lot of
expense and he will have to buy nearly
every player.
The same conditions hold good in
Wichita. But the fans and business
men of that town are welcoming the
proposition and have notified 1sbell
that he can draw on them for $1,000
as soon as the deal is put through.
Cooley would like to have a little out
side help as we'll and would like to get
about a thousand dollars of ready
money to use only in case the deal is
finally consummated. And if the BUSH
ness men of the city are willing to offer
help to the extent of a thousand dol
lars, to be paid only when the deal
is finely consummated, Topeka will in
all probability play in the higher cir
cult Cooley has given Topeka two pen
nant winners in the past three years
and this is the first time he has ever
asked Topeka business interests for
any help.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.


Nine. Emma Ca1ve VIII be the at
great singer arrived in Topeka this
morning and will be at her best to-
night. Early in the week she was
suffering from a cold which compelled
her to cancel her Omaha engagement,
but from the effects Of this. she has
entirely recovered. She has suite of
rooms at the National hotel.
One of the most powerful argu-
ments of the beneficence of virtue is
the corroding quality OF sin and In
illustrating the growth and develop
ment of an evil thought from its in
ception until it culmiuares In catas-
trophe, Franz Molnar, the author OF
THE Devil' (Der TeufeD which is to
be offered at the Grand, Saturday,
October "a. matinee and night has
achieved his astonishing triumph. He
has endowed a personality which has
all the external trappings OF a GENTLE
man with the skill TO instil the poison
of guilt into the minds or two humans
and by a system of sophtstrfes and
clever manipulation of events to start
them headlong upon the primrose
path that leads to perdition- And
how deftly this monster arranges 1t
all! You laugh at his cynicisms;
sometimes he makes you wriggle un-
comfortably in your seat, but he holds
you and If you yield to his insinuating
PHILOSOPHERS you are astonished at
what a fall he has prepared for you.
Molnar's devil is the most gentlemanly
evil one the stage has yet presented.

HANDED A BIG LEMON.
Kansan Gets One From Texas That
VIII Make Eight Pies.

Fort Scott, Kan, Oct. &c N
Sanford has received from ]. T. Wool
sey, a former resident of Fort Scott,
who is now living in Texas. monster
lemon. When 1t was picked on the
18th of this month it weighed two and
a quarter pounds. And Mr.. Woolsey
says that 1t is a small one, for the dry
weather hurt the fruit crops in Texas
this year. He says that a weight of
three and a half pounds for lemon
is not extraordinary.
Lemons of this size, however, are
never seen on the market in this coun-
try. because they are not marketed at
all. One OF the size Mr.. Woolsey sent
up will make from six to eight good
lemon pies and from ten to twelve
glasses of lemonade.
1t measures seventeen inches around
sideways and eighteen inches around
over top and bottom.

MORE TROUBLE FOR HEILING.
The ex-Wicilita Ball Player Now Faces
Murder Charge.

MurUer SudTSe.
Denver, Colo, Oct. ga special from
Santa Fe. N. M, says: A complaint
charging second degree murder, has
been filed against Gus Hetling, Wich-
ita, baseball player, arrested recently
on a charge of attempting to criminaliy
assault Mrs. Rose Arnett, of Aspen
Colo. The new charge is made on COM
plant of representatives of the Pull
man company. 1t is alleged that the
shock caused the death of Mrs. Ar
nett's unborn baby, and that as re-
suit of an alleged attempted assault
the baby was prematurely born and
died, endangering the life of the
mother.
The alleged assault occurred on a
Pullman on a Santa Fe train in New
Mexico about two weeks ago. Hetling
it was claimed, entered the woman's
ling denies the accusation and says
the woman tried to rob him.
He brought habeas corpus proceed
ingS to secure his release from Jail.
The hearing on the proceeding, set for
Wednesday, was postponed until Oc-
tober g. on account of the serious Ill
ness of Mrs. Arnett. When the habeas
corpus case is disposed of, Hetling will
be re-arrested on a charge of murder
based upon the alleged premature birth
and death of the child. 1t is not known
whether the charge of attempted assault
will be dropped since the filing of the
more serious charge but it is likely
the murder charge will be tried first,
especially If the defendant is released
on the habeas corpus writ.
