Club News

MOUTH reigned supreme yesterday
afternoon at the Ebell on the oe-
Il casion of the annual children
party, and IN place of the serious
minded "grown-ups'' for whom an in
telectual feast is usually spread the
seats in the auditorium were occupied
by the small sons and daughters Of
the members, and the result was sea
of bobbing heads of brown and of gold,
while pink bows of ribbon almost
iostled neighboring bows of blue, as
the wearers eagerly watched the
pathetic little play that was being pro-
duced for their edification on the stage
in front.
A Christmas tree, stately and beau
tiful, had a place of honor in one cor
ner, its wide-spreading branches bear
ing a generous burden of popcorn, tlnsel
and bright ornaments. Each little guest
and members of the club had brought
gifts of a nature to gladden. child S
heart, and these will be hung ON the
tree this morning in readiness for dis
tribution among the 200 settlement chill
dren who are to be guests of the Ebell
this afternoon.
The program of yesterday will be re-
peated today, a feast is to be enjoyed,
and the motor cars which convey them
to the club house will take them safely
home.
Following the program there was
dancing for those old enough to enjoy
it, and the smaller guests were enter
tained upstairs with ice cream and
other dainties.
The program was the following:

OFFICIAL KILLS A MAN.
Trainmaster Woodward Accidentally
Shoots William Bradish.

La Junta. Colo, March 15.-William
Bradish, aged "a, son of Patrick Bra
dish, La Junta pioneer, was shot in
the head while duck hunting at jack
son lake, west of La Junta, by G. S.
Woodward. a Santa Fe trainmaster,
and fatally wounded. The shooting
was purely accidental, and has cast a
gloom over all members of the party.
According to first reports received in
La Junta of the accident, Bradish was
shot by Division superintendent Stark
weather of the Santa F'e, who was also
a member of the hunting party.
The men were shooting from a blind.
Woodward was behind Bradish, and
just as he arose from his seat to fire
his companion also got up to do the
same thing. The full charge of duck
shot entered the back of Bradish's
head. Bradish fell into the lake, but
was quickly pulled out. Superintend-
emit Starkweather telegraphed for an
engine and Bardish was ruserd to La
Junta. where he died at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, without having re-
gained consciousness.

Being Sued for Two Violations of
Safety Coupling Act.

Las Vegas, n. NJ, March 15.-Suit
has been brought in the district court
here by United States Attorney David
]. Leahy against the Santa Fe Rail-
way company for two violations of
what is known as the safety appliance
act, the amount sued for in each in
stance being 500. 1t is alleged in the
complaint that on or about September
s, 1907, the defendant company used
on its lines of railway a tender to en-
CINE No. 917, the same not being
legally equipped with a coupler. A
second cause of action is that on the
tender to engine $40 a grab iron was
found loose at one end, consequently
not affording ample security to men
engaged in coupling or uncoupling
cars, as required by law.

Chicago Yannigans to Play.

WIFI the ADVENT Oh the DdSeUd4A
season a little more than a week in
the future, interest is naturally at
tached to the early games which will
be seen on the local grounds Man
ager Cooley has been particularly for
tunate in securing good schedule for
the ante-season period. Three major
league teams will battle the locals on
the home grounds and this will give
the locals some line on the COM
parative strength of the local team.
The men are all due to report
March 25, which is week from
Thursday. Some have written Cooley
that they will be here before that
time. One day only will be spent in
practicing before a game is played.
on Friday. March &c. the local squad
or a goodly sized portion of it will go
to Manhattan where they will play
the Agricultural college team.
: On Saturday the Washington team
will play here. Washington will be on
the local baseball programme for four
the Nationals, has divided his team in
two squade of practically equal
strength, each squad having several
old heads in its personnel One squad
while the other squad will play Mon
day and Tuesday.
On Wednesday, March 81, the locals
will go to Kansas City for two games
with the Blues. Friday. April 2, will
be an off day. On Saturday and Sun
day the Kansas City aggregation will
be here.
The Detroit American league cham
pions, with Tyrus Cobb, Wahoo Sam
Crawford, Hughey Jennings and a
Tuesday. April 6. Detroit has only
one team, and the bunch seen here
will be the regulars.
The next attraction a day later will
be the Chicago White Sox Yannigans
in charge of the inimitable Nick AL
trock. The Yannigans will be a great
attraction as several of the players
are well known. Last season the To-
Gals and the Yannigans had great
battle, resulting in favor of the latter.
The next team to play here will be
the Bartlesville Western association
team, three games being scheduled
for April IS. IA and Is. The next
three days the Joplin Western asso-
citation team will play here. The Nc
Pherson team of the Kansas State
league will be here for two games
April 10 and 20. The Jefferson City
team of the Missouri-Illinois league
will be here April % and %. Lyons,
the team which Jay Andrews has or
ganized in the Kansas State league.
will make this little bush team of
double interest.
NO more games Will be scheduled
on the home grounds until after the
ter the Lyons series will work north
to Lincoln, stopping off on the way to
play game OF two, probably at
Atchison and St. Joseph.
The season opens in Lincoln, April
90. The Topeka team will have
played big string of games by that
time and ought to be in superb con-
dition. Individually a number of
games do not benefit the players so
much as individual practice might,
but by working together in SO many
games, the Topeka boys ought to have
their team work down pat. and have
the signals in good ball bearing run
ming order.

widows and orphans who draw annual
ly nearly $50, 900, 000 from the bounty of
the government. In that great book,
THE Republican Party Governor
Morrill, wrote the chapter on pensions,
and today it stands in our literature as
the best analysis of the pension prin-
cirle ever made.
But congress did not suit the taste of
a man 50 domestic in his habits, and in
1890 he declined a reelection, being one
of the very few men in our country
who have voluntarily retired from such
hOnOrs.
Reserved Big PopuIist Majority.
To his friends he announced that he
had done with politics forever, but in
1894 there arose over Kansas senti-
ment which called on him to run for
governor, and he became the very
nearly unanimous choice of the Repub-
ican state convention. At the election
he was chosen by a plurality of 10000,
reversing the Populist majority in 1892.
In 1896 he was unanimously renomi-
mated but this time he went down to
defeat with a plurality of 5000 against
him, this being the year of the free
silver uprising which depleted the Re-
publican party in all western states.
However as showing the satisfactory
nature of his administration and the
confidence reposed in him the peo-
pie, it may be noted that he outran
President Mckinley by 5000 votes.
Commencing with his return from the
war Governor Morrill, has been in the
real estate and banking business in his
home town, Hiawatha, until the pres
ent day.
WA His Work for HiaWatha,
In Hiawatha he was the leader in all
that tended to improve the town. He
built the fine academy which graces
the hillside and it was fostered by him
until now it is one of the best endowed
institutions of the west. He gave the
city fine library and his name stood
first on every church and other sub
scription which passed among the peo-
pie Himself a deep reader and a lover
of intellectual attributes in whatever
form he has spent with prodigality in
the cause of education and no joy was
greater to him than the pleasure or
helping youth to learning.
Governor Morrill, was married twice,
his first wife having passed away
childless in 1868. He leaves his second
wife and three children, a, son and two
daughters, all grown.

GOVERNMENT LOST CASE.
Could Not Convict j. w. Softer on
Anti-PasS Law.

Wichita, Kan, March lin the
federal court here the case against }.
w. Softer, who was indicted by the
grand jury on charges of having VIC
lated the anti-pass law, was decided
against the government on a demur-
rer 1t was charged that Softer, who
was bridge worker, rode on a Santa
Fe pass from Denver to Wellington,
Kansas, with the agreed understand
ing of going to work for the santa re
when he reached that point He did
not keep the agreement and enter the
employ of the road.
The anti-pass law of 1906 makes 1t
an offense for q railroad to issue
free pass to anyone. and makes 1T a
crime for a person to ride on pass
so issued. 1t was the contention OF
Solter's attorney that he did not ride
on a mass, but on transportation issued
to him as a laborer. The case was in
vestigated by the railroads who are
trying to break up the practice of
obtaining transportation as Softer had
done.

section. Thus far this is the only
the promoters have met
The people along the route, for the
most part, are enthusiastic over the
road. and are offering to aid in its
building In every way possible.
Persons at Sharon Springs, Kansas,
on the Union Pacific railroad, have
become interested in the proposed
line, and have taken up the PROPOSE
tion of having the line built from
