Mr. Tinsley is giving particular atten-

other crops which are best adapted to
the various localities. That this is a
tremendous undertaking will be plain

Sioux City, May 21.-Although Sioux

of the series, the Cooleysox got away
with the long end of the score. IL to s.
Five pitchers were used and they were
batted all over the lot. The visitors.
however, were lucky, their hits coming
when they meant runs.
Topeka first drove Chabek from the
mound, and Clarke, who succeeded
him, Jared little better, lasting only a
little more than an inning. "Kiddo"
Wilson followed Clarke, and although
he was wild he held the smuggling Sex
to few hits.
Cooley's team got away on gallop
and maintained the same gait the rest
of the way. The Topeka gang was he'd
scoreless for four innings after the
third.
In the first hits by wooley and
Reilly, followed by a gift to Pencil,
gave the visitors a comfortable chance
to score. 1t developed into reality
when Hartman's error allowed Wooley
TO come in. Then Kerns pounded out
a double and Reilly and Pennell scored.
Wooley first up in the second. was
passed. Reilly connected safely to left,
and Wooley scored on the hit, having
previously purloined second. Pencil
hit for two bases to right, scoring Reil-
Clarke's first offering was hit safety
by Landreth, and Pennell had no trou-
BILE scoring. Kerns biffed one into CEN
ter and Landreth came in.
The Cooleysox did not stop here, and
in the next frame they slipped over
three more on pass, an error, hits by
Thomson and Reilly and a sacrifice
fly.
The Packers came back with a cou-
pie of scores in their half of the first
hits by Andreas, Neighbors, and Fen
lon doing the work An error by Wooley,
who let Fenlon's hit go through him,
cost an extra base and figured in the
scoring.
In the fourth the Packers chased in
two more on gift, two hits and an
error. They hit Kaufman, who re-
placed Wright in the second, freely,
but couldn't bunch them.
A great effort was made by the
Packers to win out in the ninth, but
Topeka's lead was too large to over
come. An error by Kahl cost two runs
He fooled Neighbors' hit and the
ball rolled into the field. Hits by An
dreas, Fenlon and Hartman scored the
other two.
The Cooleysox scored their last run
in the eighth. Landreth doubled to
right, Kerns was hit by a pitched ball,
Kahl skied and Boles raped one to
left, scoring Landreth.

Harrington Editor Says They Wash
Down Meat With Wine.

In some places on the Rock Island
where Greeks are employed they cele-
brated Easter by roasting whole
lamb and washing it down with wine,
says Editor Smith of the Harrington
Times. When they can't find wine they
use beer. The Greeks still use the old
Julian calendar, which is eleven days
behind the calendar used by the Amer
leans While the Greeks seem to be
deeply religious, they are handled with
difficulty. They usually go armed, and
the track foreman often has trouble
with them. They seem to have no fear
for sheriffs and jaiis.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

The Sioux can't do better than break
even on their series. Perhaps we will
be lucky and nail today's contest Per
haps the Towne Boys will claim 1t as
their own. At any rate two out of four
from them is not bad. The Sioux are
by far the best looking club that has
visited Topeka, Omaha and Lincoln
both strong teams, not excepted. The
Friday and Thursday contest mean lit
tie. save that they are two games on
the right side of the column, and that
the locals can play ball when they
cnce get going. Thomson leading off
seems to be an improvement because
it puts some one ahead Of Wooley who
may come in on those two sackers that
"Lige" has been pounding out so reg
ularly. Reilly got of the 13 hits we
gathered Friday, and Boles, Landreth
and Kerns each grabbed couple. Too
bad the boys don't hit, isn't it? Cooley
will be home the first of the week while
the team goes to Lincoln. We may
have some explanation of what has
been going on in the northland when he
arrives. In letter to a Topeka friend
Mrs. Cooley declares luck has been
against the team.
The anvil chorus has started in Den
yer because the team slipped out of first
place on the road. THE Teddy Bears
had better win one pretty soon or"
is the way one writer starts 1t on.
There is also talk of Shattered hopes"
poor pitchers" etc. Great talk for a
town like Denver The sport writer's
there know enough to refrain from
critcising the team because OF a few
games lost on the road but they do
rot miss the opportunity to knock.
They write like a bunch of cutters.
No wonder the Denver team usually
goes to pieces as the season progresses
with such a bunch of knockers on the
home papers trying to stir up feeling
against the team as soon as it hits
the road. Denver has not been here
this year. There is a feeling in To-
peka that both Denver and Hendricks
are overrated. Whether this is true or
untrue makes little difference. The sea-
son is on and the story will, be told
as the summer progresses. But there

Speaking of these cutters what about

made the same stall with Lincoln or
Omaha last week but on account of

kick out of the Topeka trip on the same
fiimsy excuse. Every man in Kansas
knows how hard it is to get rates and
knows better than to count upon them

FlENO HACKS
WOMAN INTO
CHUNKS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEWPORT, Ore, July 27.-The
authorities are bending every nerve
today to ascertain the Identity of
the body of a woman which was
found hacked into small pieces and
sewed in gunnysack on the beach
yesterday That she was murdered
the officials do not doubt. The
body was examined at tho morgue
today by number Of local sur
geons. They declared that the
murderer chopped the body into
pieces 30 it would fit into tho small
grain sack In which it was found.
There Is hardly a bone in the
skeleton that had not been either
broken in two or crushed. This
leads the authorities to believe
that the murderer beat his victim
to death and then cut the body to
bits with an Ak.
When first taken from its bed
in the beach sands, only small
patches Of flesh adhered to the
bones. The hair, which was long
and chestnut colored, had become
detached from the skull. This and
perfect set of teeth are the only
clues upon which the police have
to work.
The decayed condition of the
sack and the fact that the flesh
had soMghed from the bones indi-
Gated that the woman met her
death several months ago.
So far as known no woman has
disappeared from Newport or Lin

pairing for the amalgamation Of
Korea as part Of the Japanese en-
pire and although they will not dis
cuss the intended move, high Of

trouble will follow tho loss of

there for Korea to head a revolt.

The herders were captured by a
gang of cattlemen who disarmed
the sheepmen, shot down a number
of sheep, scattered the bands. and
chased the herders over the dead
line" at the point Of revolvers.
On account of the rapid settle

and cattlemen agreed upon a GER
tain division of the grazing lands
for their respective herds.
