Great Bend Gong Into Baseball in a
BusinessIike Way.

Great Bend, Kan. Jan. 25.-At a
meeting of the stockholders of the
baseball association in this city it was
decided to increase the capital stock of
the company from $500 to $1,000 and
a charter has been asked for this
amount by the Great Bend Amusement
company. Nearly every business firm
in the town holds stock in the assocf-
alton and it is the intention to make
a success of the baseball proposition.
The charter was taken out in the
above name for the purpose of giving
the association a right to embark into
other forms of amusement. The town
has not had a first-class opera house
building and for several years there
has been considerable talk of organic
ing a company to build a new build
ing. The sentiment of the amusement
association is strongly in favor Of the
erection of a modern building of this
kind and plans will be formulated
during the summer. The directors
elected last night were: Ed Chapman,
r. H. Meade, D. Himrod. G. v. Brink
man, r. c. Russell, F. M. McInnes
and l.. F. Wilson.

LOOTED THE HOUSE.
Burglars Got a Roll of Confederate
Bills From III. l.. Jaenicke,

Burglars looted the house of H. L.
Jaenicke at 800 Clay street Sunday
night and after searching every room
IN the house, going through dressers,
book cases, sideboard and jerking up
rugs, and even ripping up bedding in
the hope of finding a great sum of
money which they evidently thought
to be somewhere in the place came
away with a roll of Confederate
money as big as a hat and little tin
bank full of white buttons
The looters in all probability thought
they had secured the wealth they
sought for many valuable articles
which they had displaced were left in
the rooms and a great deal of silver
piece missing. The roll of bills con-
tanned $3.50 of useless CURRENCY and the
tin bank only aggravates the joke.
1t is thought the burglars are some
persons who know the house and know
the habits of the Jaenicke family,
which recently moved here from Hills
boro. The family went to church in
their automobile about 7:15 O'Clock.
when they returned at 8 they found
their belongings scattered over the
floors, on the chairs, and across the
beds But that hidden bank roll had
been the only wanted plumber, SO Mr.
Jaenicke is congratulatfng himself
that he had so good a decoy.
Mr.. Jaenicke telephone the police as
soon as he discovered the condition of
his house. A load of officers with the
chief drove hurriedIy to the scene
where a thorough investigation was
were found though neighbors say there
was a man in front of the house dur
ing church hours. evidently on watch
City detectives are working on the case
in the hope of making an example for
the petty thives who have been busy

ALBRIGHT PROMOTED.
Kansas City Man Becomes General
Freight Agent of Rock Island.

G. B. Albright has been promoted to
general freight agent of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, with
headquarters in Kansas City. Last
June Mr.. Albright went to Kansas City
to succeed H. H. Embry as assistant
general freight agent. The increasing
business of the Rock Island lines west
of the Missouri river and the line be-
tween Kansas City and st. Louis has
warranted placing this part of the sys-
tenn under a general freight agent,
hence the increased rank for Mr.. AL
bright F. J. Shubert of Chicago will
become assistant general freight agent
here. Mr.. Albright will have jurisdic-
ton over the territory in which To-
peka is located.

Such is the opinion of Joseph A.

ever, lasted only a few days before

FLOWERS FOR PULLIAM'S
GRAVE WHILE TEAMS PLAY

PlTTSBURG, oct. SIN all the glow
and enthusiasm incident to the OPEN
ing of the worlds series, there is one
touch of sadness. At the meeting Of
the National Commission this morn
ing in the Hotel Schenley there was
no vacant chair but there was one
absent face. Harry Pulliam was not
there, and try as they would the mem
bers now wearing the robes of author
ity could not go about their work with
their old-time buoyancy.
Ban Johnson has been the directing
and dominating figure in the worlds
series of games for three or four
years.
Chairman August Hermann has
been the one TO whom an appeal was
taken in an extreme executive emerg-
ency But Harry Pulliam was the one
member of the lofty tribunal to whom
the humblest fan did not apply for
justice in vain.
It was this feeling that prompted
the National Commission to give ready
acquiesence to Chairman Herrmanns
suggestion of the adoption of a me-
mortal in Pulliam's memory.
Chairman Hermann assured his as
sociates on the National Commission
that while the fans would be cheering
the Pirates and Tigers on Forbes field
this afternoon. a floral token Of love
and appreciation would be placed on
Pulliams grave in Cave Hill Cemetery
in Louisville.
