English Long Distance Runners
Idea of the Indian.
Confident That He Will Run
Him Down in Ten Miles.
SHRUBB is EMPHATIC.
Satisfied of Winning Madison
Square Race Jan. &c.
Says the Canadians Manager Is
to Keep Off the Track.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 6.-Alfred Shrubb,
the English long-distance runner, left
Boston for New York, where he will re-
main until January 26, when he races
Longboat in Madison Square Garden at
the Marathon distance. He will do his
training at the Pastime A. c.. He has
been doing, in addition to his road work,
runs of twelve miles over a board track,
averaging $40 per mile for the last
month. In getting himself into condi-
ton to meet Longboat he has been doing
over the roads 10, Is and 20-nile runs.
and said that he finished strong each
day, and is confident he will have the
strength to make a fine showing at the
Marathon distance.
He will confine his training in New
York, so far as outdoor work is con-
cerned to long walks, walking for 2, 3,
and sometimes miles. Shrubb
claims that this will make man as
strong as anything he has had expe-
rienced with conditioning.
II shall run Longboat off his legs
said Shrubb. HE will either have to
follow me or let me go. If he follows
me 1 will kill him in ten miles. If he
let's me go shall have such big lead
on him that 1 shall win. 1 am fully
aware that Longboat possesses wonder
full endurance, but 1 shall give him the
most troubles he has ever had
In referring to the failure of Dorando
to complete the distance recently,
Shrubb said he believed that the Italian
runner was 'all In" for the Marathon
distance. AS to the outcome of the Do
rando-Smallwood race, Shrubb said he
would not be at all surprised if the
Welshman proved a winner.
In all previous runs of the Marathon
indoors, Longboat's manager, Tom
Flanagan, has been very much in evil
dence on the track Shrubb declared
that there will be only two men running
in that race, and that he and Longboat
will be restricted to the attention of
their trainers. The Englishman is firm
in this respect, and it is safe to say that
the race on January 26 will be the
cleanest of it's kind ever held.

TO PENSION THE TEACHERS.
Fort Scott Educator Favors Half Pay
After 20 Years of Service.

Fort Scott, Jan. Cone of the
items the Kansas schools are going to
reckon with before very long is the
pensioning of it's aged teachers. The
schools in New York city as we'll as
New York state are conducted on this
plan and the Kansas schools seem
nearing the idea.
A Fort Scott educator who has
given much time and attention to the
pensioning of teachers is strongly in
favor of it. He says the teachers are
poorly paid lot and that from the
years of their toll they are enabled
to save little if any money. After
twenty years work in the school
room, he believes the average person
is fit for a house of rest where no
further toll is necessary. If the Fort
Scott board considers this matter
some of these days. this member is
going to fight for it's adoption. The
plan is to lay aside one per cent of
certain incomes of the teachers to
maintain the pension fund. After a
person retires and draws such pen
sion the fund is maintained of course
by another generation of teachers
There are four or five teachers in this
city, it is thought, who have been
teaching over twenty years con-,
tinuously. One has taught over forty
years or Whereabouts.

FOR NO HIT GAMES.
The Baseball Season of 1908 was the
Banner Year.

New York, Jan. I'm six games 1a@s
of baseball during the season OF 1Soo
the FANS had the pleasure of sitting
through nine innings without nifab seeing 5ad
such complete control of the sphere
that the siuggers, as well as th the weak ak
hitters, were under their tnumps, OF
rather fingers, as it were. AS no-hlt
season it was easily the banner year:
for never before in the history OF
baseball have there been so many
games without a batter making first.
The pitchers who were most eHec-
tive were George Wiltse of the Giants,
and Addie Joss CT Cleveland. On July
last Wiltse had such command of
the ball that twenty-seven men were
retired in short order. Only once dur
ing that game. in the tenth inning, did
a man reach first base. Then the UNI
pire decided that McQuillin was en-
titled to a base on balls. Mac" was
the only one of the Phillies that got to
Fred Tenny's bag.
During a game with the White Sox
Joss was particularly effective, and not
a man reached first during the nine
innings.

after my own style. He is not afraid. -
The coming stag of the National
club will be a hummer in several re-
spects. Jim Buckley will be the ref
eree-and that means fighting, and a
number of high class preliminaries
will be given to stir the crowd up for
final bout. Madden and Murphy will
furnish the first clash between first
class boys the fight fans have been
able to see in some time.

OPPOSE STADIUM PLAN.
Gotham Park Association Will Fight
the Promoters

New York, Jan. 6.-The plan of the
New York Stadium company, which
was organized last week with the
avowed purpose of erecting stadium
in Central park, or, failing that, in
Van Cortland park, has stirred the
fighting blood of those citizens of New
York who are opposed to any invasion,
curtailment or spoliation of the city S
public breathing spaces.
The projectors of the scheme are
particularly insistent on Central park
as the site of the stadium and pro-
claimed that such a structure could be
made a great civic ornament. But if
they can't get site in Central park
they are willing to take space in either
Van Cortland or Macomb's Dam park.
The scheme was called to the atten-
ton of ex-District Attorney Eugene, A.
Philbin, president of the Parks and
Fairgrounds association, and Mr.. Phil
bin said he would call meeting of
that organization at an early date to
fight the plan. All the resources at the
command of the association would be
nut in action to prevent the carrying
out of the scheme, Mr.. Philbin said.

John West Says a Published Story
About Him Is Untrue.

lola, Kan. Jan. 6.-Claiming that a
story it published about him on Tues
day morning, December 18th. has
greatly damaged him, John West has
begun suit in district court against
The Index Publishing company ct al,
to recover $4,000.
Mr.. West lives at Humboldt Some
time ago he met Anne Ernst, a high
school girl on the street and ''joshed'
and "jollied" her. He was arrested on
the charge of simple assault but a
jury found him not guilty after be-
ing out a few minutes.
In telling of the arrest, the Index
stated under big headlines, that Mr..
West was arrested for criminal as
sault and recited details. Mr.. West
repeats in his petition the morning
papers story and declares it false and
untrue. He says that at the time he
bore a good reputation but that the
article has DETAINED and libelled him.
He thinks it has damaged him to the
extent of $4,000 and sues for that
amount.

not designed to cure Catarrh. We pos

thus cure Debility. In every case where
we fail to effect cure. we will not
charge a cent for the medicine employed
during the trial. Now. surely no one
should hesitate to believe US or to put
our claim to a practical test under such
conditions. We take all the risk; no
one else can lose anything by the trans
action.
we make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that RexvaIl Mucu-
Tone will cure Catarrh. 1t is designed
for that one particular purpose. 1t is
not a cure-au prescribed to cure every
disease that flesh is heir to. 1t is a

WILL RAISE TOBACCO.
Former NIissOurian to Plant Ten Acres
in Atchison County.

Atchison, Jan. 6.-W. H. Berry, who
claims to be the first man who grew
tobacco in the vicinity of Weston, now
lives three miles southwest of Atchi-
son, and will engage in tobacco Gull
ture on this side of the river. He says
land on this side of the river is equal
in every respect to the Missouri land
for tobacco growing. Mr.. Berry will
put out ten acres this year, and is
building o tobacco barn.
Ten acres in tobacco will pay more
than 120 acres of wheat according to
the experience of Lee Murphy last
year w. Fl. Berry grew an acre of
tobacco last year near Atchison, and it
was excellent.
