KEMPER CONQUERED
Wentworth Downs Old Rival in Fast
Game. IS 10 n.

The Wentworth basket ball five
handledoneof the easiest propositions
it has had to deal with during the
season which is now progressing
when it downed the Kemper team,
reputed to be so speedy, Tue;day
afternoon in the drill hall in the
game which was postponed from
Monday night. The local cadets
simply moved down the lads from
Boonyille, finally defeating them by
the decisive and overwhelming count
of IS to IL. The red and white de-
feated its opponents at every turn
and twist of the game; the undoubted
superiority of Wentworth's team
work was manifest TO all: that Went
worth possessed more definite and
thorough knowledge of the game
could be seen at one glance; the
greater accuracy displayed by Went
worth is shown in the final score; and
finally every man on the Wentworth
team outplayed his Kemper op-
ponent. Garzee, Hurley, Chambers
and Hoge composed the Wentworth
galaxy of stars and every other mem
ber who took part played sterling
game. Kemper was simply wofully
outclassed.

A BAD WRECK
One Man Killed and Several Injured ia
Collision on River Route.

The most serious wreck that has
occurred on the River route tor some
time took place Monday afternoon
at two o'clock near the KerdolfT mine,
two and a half miles east OF LeNing-
ton.
The train which was overtaken
was the regular train of James Rob-
inson. 1t was continually breaking
in two and had stopped for one of
these breaks when the accident oc-
CURED. Mr.. Robinson had sent back
1agman TO stop the other, which
was a fast freight, but the snow OBJ
scured him.
All the injured men belonged to
crew which had been working its
regular time and was being taken
back to Kansas City. The men we're
in their caboose, which was coupled
behind the caboose of the regular,
They we're sleeping until just before
the collision.
The locomotive of the fast train
plowe ed through the two
cabooses and four freight cars All
these we're completely ruined and
the locomotive itself was burned up.
The engineer and fireman both jump
ed and were unhurt, save for minor
bruises.
slick" Letter, a brakeman, a
brother of J. X. Letter, of this city,
was in the engine, but did not jump.
He was not scratched. When the
locomotive came to a stand-still he
blew the whistle tor help and then
extricated himself
DR.. G. r. Ryland, the local Missouri
Pacific physician, went to the scene
of the wreck and attended to the in
iured 1t was nearly midnight be-
fore the trains could again be started.
TIE DEAD.
David L. Williams, brakeman,
was caught in the car and severely
crushed. Both legs we're broken and
the loss of blood was so great that he
lived only three hours. He was the
only unmarried man of the crew. He
leaves widowed mother aud two sis

Another disgraceful scene was en-
acted at the depot Tuesday evening,
An outgoing visitor be c m e
instilled with Lexington "likker" and
tried to call attention to himself by
starting something at the depot. He
began by abusing the operator, who
requested him to be quiet on account
OF the ladies present, This made the
boozer madder than ever and he at
tempted to tear things up generally.
The arrival of the trains was all that
saved him from rough handling. This
man once lived in Lexington and his
disposition has not changed whit
since he left this city.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-paiDs in the back, headache.
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness.
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Mrs. A. H. White, living corner of
Chelan avenue and Second street,
Wenatchee, Wash, says: II have
used Doan's Kidney Pills upon sew
eral occasions, and from the results
/ have derived I know that they can
be depended upon for toning up and
strengthening the kidneys. l was
in need of kidney remedy last sum-
mer, and seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
so heavily advertised, l procured
themthem at the Red Cross Phar-
macy. They gave me entire satisfac-
ton, and after short use the back
ache disappeared, and Other symp-

No FIGHT FOR JAP
|. AN FOR 70 YEARS
is DEPLETED, TAXES
HEAVY, MONEY SCARCE AND
KINGDOM AS A WHOLE is IN
DESPERATE STRAITS.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Japan
can fight no nation for the next fif-
teen years. There is no more proba-
bility of the Mikado warning on the
United States at present than there
is of the Sultan of Zulu leading an
expedition against Great Britain.
The war scare" that may have de-
veloped from the anti-Japanese bills
now pending in the California legis-
lature can only be the result of the
greatest misinformation.
Japan is suffering from a financial
anemia which absolutely forbids war
except at the price of risking the
integrity of the empire. Every mill
tary and naval expert in the Far
East knows that the Anglo-Japanese
agreement alone prevents Russia
from taking advantage of the pres
ent deplorable condition of Japanese
finances to retrieve her lost prestige
in the Orient. Every citizen from
coolie to capitalist is carrying a
crushing burden of taxation. A pitt
able example of Japan's desperate
straits is found in the heavy taxing
of the unfortunate women ienizens
of the licensed immoral resorts in
every part of the kingdom, the ma
jority of whom are the widows of
Japanese soldiers who were killed in
the war with Russia.
Owing to the fact that the finan-
cial markets of the world have al
ready refused to make additional
loans, Japan could not fight for three
months. Except for the autumn re-
view, the japanese feet is not engag-
ing in any evolutions. To save the
cost of coal, all the ships of the fleet
are now lighted with oil lamps.
There is no doubt that if Japan
were not in an exhausted condition,
she would consider the present the
most opportune time to engage in
struggle with the United States for
the mastery of the Pacific-a strug-
gle which is certain to come.

A Gentle Reminder Of Breakfast.

A Gentle Reminder OF Breakfast.
In the February number Of the Am
erican Magazine Lindsey Denison des-
eribes the great Rosebud land open
ing at Dallas, South Dakota, where
114,000 people gathered to draw
lots for 5000 farms. Of the noise
that was made Mr.. Denison says:
Even the racket of it was a stimu-
lation. Every few hours, perhaps
at twelve noon and perhaps at three
in the morning, one of those teeming
trains came hooting into town. From
every front door came the megaphon-
ed howles. There was one fellow
who woke me at two hour intervals
every night for week; his voice
made the windows rattle and in that
climate his subject was every bit as
enhancing as the clink of silver and
glass that greets one at the door of
Delmonico's:
Breakfast waiting for you here.
..Consisting of Qong pause) oatmeal

and potatoes with coffee. 49,.

Tale of Cannibal Isle.

Some wild. weird tales from off
the sea broke loose in town last
night, when the kindred souls of
Jonas Horne, O. the barkentine Belle
White, foregathered in Jeb Hobbs S
back room, by Greenpoint's murky
tide, and cheered themselves with
glowing pipes and something else
besides. AS usual, Jonas held the
stage. With chairs drawn about, he
told how ring-nosed cannibals had
failed to count him out.
Il was wrecked in So. said
Horne aboard the Silly Sue. and
found myself alone alive Of all our
husky crew. l was washed ashore
on lucky waves, and woke up on the
sands to find myself prisoner in
rather hostile hands. A bunch Of
six black cannibals, with rings stuck
in their noses, danced round in glee,
and l could see my future held no
roses.
They hitched me to nearby
tree and held a long pow-wow. l
figured they were settlin' when to
serve me up, and how. At last one
fellow goes away, and that was some
relief, but it seems that be had been
dispatched to fetch the native chief.
He stayed away so bloomin' long the
other dubs got sore, so they sent
another fellow off, and that left only
four.
Now, pretty soon the four of them
began to get so weary they laid up by
tree to doze, and that made me
some CHEEKY. And when the four be-
gan to snore this chicken got right
BUSY wriggled and wrestled with
my ropes till was dizzy. I yanked
this way. pulled that way. l strug-
gled like a steer, and squirmed and
turned until, b'gosh! l pulled out
free and clear.
And did | go way from there?
Not yet! l wasn't through. Says l.
Now, boys, you've played with me,
I'll have some fun with you You
see, these boys were sound asleep,
and their backs against that tree, so
l took the rope they tied me with,
and went to work with glee. | strung
it through the blooming rings that
dangled from their beaks clean
round the tree and tied the ends
together, and left the dusky freaks.
81 beat it quickly to the shore,
where lay a bark canoe, and on my
way I heard fuss that tickled me
clean through. Those cannibals had
started up, but found their noses
tied! They fought and mauled each
other, while l laughed until cried.
well, off l rowed in their canoe
to another island near, where found
a ship-and that is why l am able
to be here From the New York
Herald.
