Looks Like the Capital City Has
the Strongest Nine.
A LIVELY TOWN ROW.
Name of the Wichita Team lis
Causing Trouble.
Some of the Fans Are Weary of
Title of JObbers.

If there is any one team in the
Western league that Topeka wants to
beat out 1t is the Wichita team. The
old rivalry, judging from the senti-
ments expressed in the Wichita pa
pers, is still rampant in that town, al
though 1t is not the same kind 1t used
to be when pop bottles and other mis-
siIes frequently decided the tide of a
battle.
And from a distance it really looks
as though the Topeka club could out
distance their competitors of the peer
less city in the first season in the
Western league. The Wichita mag
mates are noted for making noises like
winners, but these noises frequently
fail to win remnants. Wichita is al
ways long On talk and oratorfcal eff
fectS. The same conditions prevail
this season. The Jobber town is talk
ing big, but as yet there is nothing
that looks big to an outsider.
Wichita is now the scene of a town
row, one that rivals the famous En-
poria confab of a few years back.
The bone of contention is the name of
the team. Some of the fans are tired
of 'JobberS" and want a change be-
cause Wichita is a much smaller job
bling center than Omaha The other
fans are aligned by sentiment to that
name. The papers are on opposite
out in time and it won't make much
difference what the fans vote to call
the team. 1t isn't the people that
name a team, it is the sport writer's
over the circuit.
The Wichita management isn't
signing many players with records
back of them for next season. There
is lively scattering of youngsters
who cSme "highly recommended
but who fall down in nine cases out
of every ten. Isbell who will go back
to the White Sox is figuring on secur-
ing some near major 1eaguers from
Comiskey- These sometimes make
good players, but there isn't much in
it for the management when they use
players they don't own.
One of the best men secured is
Pitcher Weller, who comes from Utf-
ca, N. 7. Weller has done good work
in the past and it is only fair to as
sumo that he will do something for the
Holland crew.
The face of Bill Annis will be miss
ing in the Jobber lineup. Annis went
to DeS Moines in exchange for Short
Bill Anderson, the terms being even.
The rest of the infield with the
exception of Jack Holland at first base
isn't sure. Jay Andrews is receiving

From Certain Outside Points of
Observation.
Personal INCIDENTS.
Bring to Mind of Legislator
Laws Needed.
Items of Interest to All
Kansans.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-"Many bills
introduced in the Kansas legislature -
said Thomas G. Whitman of Kansas
City, who is in Washington, "are
prompted by selfish purposes. Every
time Kansan is swindled on some
scheme or hit financially in some bust
ness venture he runs for the legisIa-
ture, and, If elected, attempts to cure
the evil by law. The usual number of
bills have been dumped into the Iegis-
lative hopper already this session

Olathe," continued Mr.. Whitman, ere

surance agent over the rates on one
of his lumber yards in Johnson county,
so he has introduced bill prohibiting
insurance companies from using the
Kansas rating book. Senator Bender
is farmer and sheep raiser. He owns
dogs Killed a lot of his sheep. He has
introduced bill to tax all dogs in the
state, and the fund raised by that
means is to be used to pay damages for
sheep killed by dogs.'
Bonding companies have increased
their rates to such an extent that post
masters and postal employees alone will
be assessed 100000 additional per
annum. AS result, Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer is considering the reduction
of the amount of bonds of nearly every
postmaster in the United States, and
particularly the bonds of postmasters
at the large offices of the country.
Postmaster General Meyer and First
Assistant Postmaster General Grand
field believe these large bonds are I'M
necessary in the case of postmasters in
the large cities, because, as a matter Of
fact, they do not handle money and
have little opportunity to cause the
government loss.
Mr.. Grandfield is advo eating the
establishment of a guaranty fund by
collecting annually from postmasters
and employees holding position of
financial responsibility small sums to
be used in paying losses that occur
defalcations. In his recent re-
port he said that 100000 officers and
employees of the postal service are re-
quired to give bond.

RAISE DEER AND BISON.
Il. w. Burgess of F'inney County Has
Success in This Line.


Garden City, Jan. 30.-Finney county

selling there at 800 per acre and COM
ing here and securing six quarter sec
lions.
While in northeast Iowa he spent
several years in maintaining an ami
NAL park. Extensive experiments were
made breeding buffalo, antelope, deer,
moose. and even water buffalo from
the Philippines, and the oceIot of
South America. Results were disap-
pointing except with the bison and
deer.
Mr.. Burgess holds the record for
breeding buffalo in captivity. In four
successive years he raised Is buffalo
calves from four buffalo cows. He has
tried a time or two to secure some of
our prairie antelope to experiment with
on his Finney county farm, and is
planning to try buffalo also which he
firmly believes can be successfully
raised here. Mr.. Burgess once sold Mr..
Rockefeller IS head of buffalo from his
Iowa herd.
The bank at Cimarron has a buffalo
head from the same place. One New
York cityan paid him $500 for an I'M
usually fine head. He is not an en-
thusiast over the crossing of widely
divergent species of animals, believing
it to be failure from any point of
view, his experience in this line not be-
ing satisfactory.

Terrific Wind Storm Puts Electric
Light Wires Out of Commission.

Newton, Kan, Jan. 30.-A terrific
windstorm blew the roof off the cold
storage building of the Newton Ice
company and the walls were partially
torn down. A section of the roof fell
on top of a Santa Fe way car standing
nearby, completely demo1ishing it. The
conductor and two brakenlen were
asleep in the car at the time and how
they ever escaped being instantly killed
is miracle. AS it was they escaped
without a scratch with the exception
of one of the brakemen who received
injuries of slight nature. The dam
age to this cold storage building will
amount to about $4,000.
Damage of a lesser nature was done
about town. Plate glass windows were
blown in. telephone wires were blown
down and early in the night the cleo
trio light wires were put out of COM
mission, leaving a good portion of the
town in darkness.

STORMS OVER KANSAS.
Horton Experiences Severe Wind
Also a Gale at Lawrence.

Horton, Kan, Jan. 3O.-The worst
windstorm this city has experienced
in years has been raging for the past
twenty-four hours. Several plate
glass fronts of business houses were
blown in and copings and tin roofs
torn off buildings. At noon half the
south side wall of the Grand hotel, a
three-story structure, was blown
down but the rooms on that side of
the house were unoccupied at the
time and no one was hurt. The
Windsor hotel had the roof torn off
and a large chimney fell, doing some
damage. A large chimney fell at the
high school building and wrecked
part of the roof. All the schools of
the town were dismissed in order that
the children might return home. The
electric light plant is so crippled
that there will be no service for sew
eral days.

j. w. Kendrick and w. E. Hodges
of Santa Fe to Hawaii.
These Officials Will Arrange
Larger Timber Shipments.
WHERE TO GET TIES.
This Is the Problem That Is
Now Facing This Big System.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.
SATURDAY.

William E. Hodges, general purchase
ing agent of the Santa Fe, and ]. w.
Kendrick, second vice president of the
company, who passed through Topeka
a few days ago en- route to the Pacific
coast will not return to this section of
the system very soon. Instead they
will leave Frisco in a few days for
Hawaii where they will investigate the
oaku wood which the Santa Fe expects
to use for ties in a few years and Sc
cure additional holdings of this land if
possible. Their trip is also in the ma
ture of a vacation, as neither of these
officials have had a vacation in some
time.
The tie problem as is we'll known is
one of the most serious with which the
railroads have to deal. The rapid de-
pletion of forests and the great num-
Der of ties used causes a continual
shortage and the roads are continually
on the lookout for this important
article The Santa F,e has within the
past two years purchased large tract
of land in California where eucalyptus
trees are being raised for the purpose
of making ties. These will in few
years make good source of supply but
Il will take several years before this
supply will be available. The Santa
Fe is planning to take what trees are
needed for ties every season, and re-
place the trees which have been for
this purpose with young shoots to be
used later on. Thus the supply on
these lands will never be exhausted
But in the meantime, while these trees
are maturing to a sufficient size. the
Santa Fe must make other provisions
for the tie supply go
In the meantime the Santa F'e will
import ties from Hawaii. Several car
goes have already been received from
these insular possessions. Mr.. KEN
drick. with Mr.. Hodges, will make ar
engagements for a still further tmpor-
tation.
The Santa Fe has some good tie hold
inps in New Mexico which are still be-
inc utilized for tie timber. One COM
many in this territory known as the
Santa Barbara company has contract
with the Santa Fe which calls for z0V,-
600 ties annually. But at this rate OF
consumption the New Mexico proper
ties won't be delivering the goods much
longer. -, :.
comes to solving the tie problem, JIM
er roads have confined themselves 10
finding substitutes but in this they
have scored but little success. res
made from steel and concrete have
heen tried but their inferior quantles
more than offset the good points,
Hence the old wooden ties continue
more in demand than ever. The de-
mand for ties seems to be constantly
increasing. There is period Of new
extension at hand and this will call for
a large quantity of ties. The constant
repairing of old roadbeds also calls TOT
big supply.

PENN's PLAY CARLISLE.
Indians Play Quakers Basketball
Tonight.

Philadelphia, Jan. SO.-Penn's
basketball game with the Carlisle In
dams in the Franklin Field gym
nasfum, tonight, promises to be the
most picturesque contest of its kind
ever seen in PHILADELPHIA The In
dams are by no means new to the
sport, since Glenn Warner has had
his football men playing basketball
in the winter time ever since the for
ward pass has been allowed in the
gridiron game. The Indians take
naturally to basketball, since the in
door game is nothing more than a
modification of the native Indian
game of lacrosse. The Carlisle game
tonight is but a forerunner of the
several good basketball games that
are on PENIS schedule of home
dates. On February the Gettys-
burg five will appear on the Frank
lin Field floor. Yale, PENIS great
est basketball rival, appears here on
February 20. while the strong Col
gate university team will be seen
three days later. On February 81
Cornelrs husky team meets Penn,
while on March Columbia will play
the Red and Blue team in the game
that will, from present indications,
settle the college championship.

MUCH DAMAGE ON U. p.
Storm at Ellsworth and PIainville the
Worst in Years.

Salina, Kan, Jan. 3O.-The west re-
ports winds to the state line and sew
eral towns damaged. Piainville and
Ellsworth suffered most according to
reports. At Plainville several houses
were damaged and number of cars
in the Union Pacific yards were blown
from the tracks and others unroofed.
The roof of the Rash building in this
city was blown off and was landed in
the middle of Santa Fe avenue. The
Rock Island round house was blown
down. 1t contained but one engine
and no one was there at the time. The
engine was buried in the debris, and
it was slightly damaged. 1t was used,
however. to take the regular train to
Harrington.
Electric light wires were blown
down in various parts of this city and
the street lights went out. leaving the
city in total darkness. Many live
wires were hanging low and the cleo
trio light company turned off the cur
rent to prevent injury to pedestrians.
Telephone lines in the city and the
county were considerably impaired,
but sufficient information could be Sc
cured to show the damage in the rural
districts was heavy to trees, fences,
barns and SMALL buildings.
In every part of the city trees were
blown down, and some of the streets
were literally filed with tree tops and
branches. Fences, bill boards and
signs filed the streets.
