ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING.
William Eaton Causes Arrest of Two
Offenders West of Topeka.

William Eaton of no kin to the YER
satile chief. but a game warden living
up in arms against the violators of the
Sunday hunting law.
Lee Hill, a lame white man, and
colored man named Miner have been
the first to fall beneath his rod. These
poachers were caught in the act of dis
charging shotguns out west of the
brick yards Sunday last. They had
already killed a rabbit and were car
rying it as evidence that they were
really good marksmen when Eaton ap-
peared to claim 1t as evidence that
thew had merely been hunting. The
iawbreakers have been summoned to
appear in the court of Topeka and be
arraigned. Eaton claims the same two
men were hunting at the same place
last year and that he told them to
never do it again.

Wire Merger VIII End Litigation of 25
Years Duration.

Boston, Nov. 16.-The action on the
part of the American Telephone and
telegraph company in absorbing the
Western Union did not come as a
surprise here. The negotiations for
the purchase of the Western Union
stock have been in progress several
months.
The contracts between the Amerf-

Western Union, dated November 10,
1879, provided for the Mutual ex-

DYCHE OFFERED PLACE
Governor Tenders Him Position OF
Fish and Game Warden.

Governor Stubs has offered the place
of fish and game warden, made vacant
by the death of the late T. B. Murdoch.
to Prof. L. L. Dyche the famous nat
uarlist and explorer who is connected
with the State university. While it is
not expected that Prof. Dyche can af-
ford to seriously consider an acceptance
of the place. yet the professor today
went to Pratt to inspect the state
hatchery plant located there and will
proposal upon his return.
Speaking of the offer to Prof. Dyche,
the governor said:
ST telephoned to Prof. Dyche to come
to Topeka to talk about this place, and
he came. I think he is going to accept
it. Possibly he will not accept it out
right, but if he does not 1t is possible
that he will be able to make some ar
rangements whereby he will be able to
direct the fish and game department
and continue his services at the State
university. He is almost invaluable at
that institution and 1 dislike to take
him away from there, but I believe
there is great field for development in
the fish industry and believe there is no
better qualified man in the state for de-
veloping it,
Prof Dyche, in commenting upon his
offer of this place by the governor is
quoted by Governor Stubs as declar
ing that he regarded the promotion of
CQ6 uSn industry OF Tie Stdto as IHOSi
important. That the conservation OF
this industry could be made worth five
millions to the state. That he mlht
accept the job if it were not a political
place, subject to change by politicians
every two years.
Prof. Dyche is splendidly qualified for
the place. There is not a man in the
west who could so successfully carry
on this work. if he chooses to give ur
his place at the university and in the
field of science and research and tak-
hold of the Pratt hatchery.
Despite the governors confidence,
however, it is not believed that Prof.
Dyche will accept the pIace. 1t would
| involve q great sacrifice in the matter
of salary, for he receives much more
money than the state allows the fish
and game warden. Furthermore
Dyche's whole life is wrapped up in
the natural history work of the State
| university.
He has done more for that depart
ment and the museum connected with
| it than any other living man. He
loves the work, and it is likely he
could have the place as long as he
desires. The university has already
given him leave of absence to fur
Their the department itself, and 1t is
not likely Prof. Dyche would give VI
| that work for a political place. 1t i:
und erstood that Dyche believes thai
Del Travis is the best man for the
place under all the circumstances.

Aster, faster,

We're the team that's going to master.
These are average samples of the
yells given last night at the z. w. c..
A. banquet held in the Young Mems
Christian association hall which
brought about the extension of
the building fund campaign until next
Saturday, and also send the teams
scurrying about Topeka today in their
efforts to raise the needed $4,000.
From yesterday noon until today
noon $2.209 was raised and the fund
has been swelled to $43,30S, and it is
believed that in the allotted time the
needed amount will be raised.
Eighty young ladies and ten men
interested in the cause sat down to a
$50 dinner and the gathering was a
most enthusiastic one, each team try
ing to out do the others in respect to
songs and yells.
The situation was thoroughly can
vassed and it was decided to extend
the campaign until Saturday evening
when another banquet-dinner will be
held.
For the number of days we have
been at work and considering the
weather am sure we have done WELL -
said the popular new secretary, Miss
Daisy June Trout. Her little speech
concluded, the girls in unison shouted:

she is here to stay"

citation just turn the girls loose. AS
soon as girls become convinced that a
building is worth the working for then
it is an assured thing. We are on

were present offered their services in

waged by the teams and it is expect

goal will have been reached.
The need of the campaign right
now" said Miss McElroy, "is for the
people to make their decisions"
The campaigners' most serious diff
| ficulty has been that many persons
who were apparently interested in the
building proposition and said that they
would give something towards the
fund have asked for several days OF
| grace in which to make their final de-
cision. This has meant that the girls
have had to work all the harder hav-
ing to make many really unnecessary

FOOD Of PUPILS
IN SCHOOLS IS
TOPIC Of WOMEN
E. ~
fremont Avenue Home and
School Association of Or
ange Much Interested.

An interesting session of the fremont
Avenue Home and School Association
of Orange was held yesterday after
noon, when Mrs. Wilbur Kynor, the
new president, was in charge for the
first time. Mrs. Alexander Black was
designated chairman of the flower com
mittee and Miss Margaret Milnine as
her assistant. Warren O.. Hagar, prin-
cipal of the school, reported that the
gymnasium of the Orange Valley Social
Settlement had again been obtained for
the use of pupils for the present season.
Miss Susan Wilson, teacher of domestic
science in the Orange Evening School,
gave an interesting paper telling of her
work.
A feature of the afternoon was a
discussion on thes question of proper
food for children vino are attending
school. Mrs. James Barrie presented a
report of a meeting she attended in
New York Nvhen the subject of school
lunches was considered. Mrs. Barrie
said hat a child could not do good
work in school unless properly nour-
ished, and her judgment was that the
consideration of the nutritive value of
foods was as much a necessity among
the rich as the poor. The question of
proper sustaining food for the child
was not solved in the opinion of the
speaker by giving little ones rich food.
A discussion followed, and Mrs.
George p. Eastman told of the manifold
values of milk and cream as food for
children. The ~fireless cooker was also
favored as aiding in the solution Of the
problem.
Mrs. Charles T. Gwynne. president of
the Cleveland Street Home and School
Association, told of the pleasure taken
by pupils in planting crocuses about
that school on Monday and Tuesday of
this week. An individual bulb was put
out by each child, and the six hundred
odd plants are calculated to not only
prove of value in the o-rnamentation
they give the school grounds. but the
personal interest taken by each child
In a particular flower will foster their
development in many ways.
The committee in charge of the meet
ing included Mrs. Youmans. Mrs. Allen,
Mrs. Pring. Mrs. Bretano, Mrs. Austen,
Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Gwynne. Tea
was poured by Mrs. John c.. Conover
and Mrs. George w. Hutchinson, and
the girl graduates of the school served.
