EGGS GO EAST.
Big Demand for Them in the
Big Cities.
March and April Eggs Best for
Cold Storage.
FIVE CARS A DAY
Are Being Shipped East Out
of Hutchinson.
FIVE CARS A DAY
Egg Buyers Are Paying 10
Cents q Dozen at Present.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 4.-If you
happen to find eggs little scarce in
the local market. or costing a little
more than you think they ought. for
this time of year. blame the effete east.
Nine hundred thousand eggs, on the
average, are now being shipped from
Hutchinson daily, back east, and as
the eastern folks are willing to pay
good money for hen-fruit, the buyers Of
the big shippers are securing the coun-
try for eggs.
The United States Packing Co. ship
ped seven cars of eggs to Chicago since
Friday, and has been averaging two
cars a day for some time.
Swift & Co. have been shipping fully
as many eggs, while the Underwood
Viles Cold Storage Co., Carl Nelson,
and other shippers of eggs have been
doing good business
"It is a modest estimate to say that
five cars of eggs are shipped from
Hutchinson daily, on the average" de-
clared one egg shipper Some days IT
will run considerably more, others
here to Chicago, although many cars
are shipped to New York city"
Something like 500 cases can be ship
ped in a car, and as there are 80 dozen
the car, or $4,000 dozen eggs shipped on
the average per day. This, as any
school boy knows, is 100000 eggs, close
enough to be called a million a day.
The eggs buyers are now paying Is
cents a dozen for eggs, SO the daily
shipments mean $11, $50 to the farmers
who sell the eggs. OF course not all Of
this quantity of eggs is bought from
the farmers Immediately adjacent to
Hutchinson. The local shipments come
here from all over this part of the
state, and are re-shipped from here.
The result of the heavy demand for
eggs in the east is that in the local
market now. although eggs are album
dant at present, the retail price is 20
cents a dozen.

there would be plenty of eggs offered
here at 10 cents a Dozen" declared a

z. Skill, architect, all having offices
over the store, lost all their fixtures
and books in the flames. Toney Weries,
Santa Fe ticket agent at this place,
who had sleeping room in the rear Of
the building upstairs, climbed down
the fire escape with his clothes and
wooden leg under one arm. He reach
ed the sidewalk uninjured and pro-
ceeded to put on his wearing apparel
before many Of the excited citizens
reached the burning building.
The hardware stock was valued at
$25, 900 with only $1,000 insurance to
cover the loss. The building. which be-
longed to Jack Randall, and was val
used at $25,000. was totally destroyed
with only &c. 900 insurance.
The work done by the Newton and
Santa Fe fire departm ents saved the
balance of the block, which consists of
four clothing stores, two shoe stores,
one drug store, one furniture store, one
music store and the Midland National
bank.
Attorney Turner's law library, one Of
the finest and most complete in the

get more work out OF them m ilany

The new manager is one of the most
sfFahIe and approachable OF managers
in the country. He is also Wonuer-
fully keen student of men and DasepalL
a
coast to coast as an inside ball player
of the highest type. Everyone knows
who George Davis is. and the Des
Moines fans have been satisfied that
the club will be well handled this year
ever since President John +. Higgins
announced that he had secured the for
rner white Sox player as the manager
of the team.
Jack Dalton still remains the sole
outfielder who has reported to the team,
but the team now has first baseman'
second baseman and third sacker.
Penfold, East. and Wintz are the three
recruit infelders. The last named ar
rived yesterday. He Is protege OF

rived in the city yesterday. Benz says
that none of the third sackers in this
league have anything on his friend

likely that LANCE and Mattick will be

THE PASSING OF FOOTBALL

Game.

Game.
Lawrence, Kan, April 4.-Rugby for
K II. in 1910 now seems a certainty.
The fast falling hopes of the loyal fol-
lowers of the american game of foot
hall almost gave way to despair today
when 1t was announced that Coach
Bert" Kennedy would take charge or
the spring practice Monday and COM
Rugby style Of play. And on top of all
this the coach admitted that he has
been carrying a book of the Rugby
rules surreptitiously stuck in his hip
pocket for the last month.
Furthermore, 1t is now an open Sc
cret" that q majority Of the members OF
the athletic board do not consider the
recent change made by the national
rules committee the most dangerous
and Objectionable elements OF tho
game. Consequently, they are espous-
ing the cause of Rugby and will go be-
fore the meeting of the delegates from
schools OF the Missouri Valley confer
ence, called by Chancellor Strong for
April 10, as it's champions. and will try
to win favor for 1t among the other
schools in the Missouri valley.
Even should this attempt prove who'll
1y futile, 1t is pointed out that Kansas
cannot rescind from her position, If FOR
no other reason than that the board or
regents have taken decided STAND
against the American game and VIII
not permit its retention under the pres
ent system Of rules.
Since the discussion first came up the
students have fought hard for the pres
ent game, but the tide is turning
against them and there are rev Dut
who are now willing to admit that tho
growing sentiment in favor of Rugby
means the installation Of the English
game here next September.
>oach BERT Kennedy is not
strone, advocate of Ruby; as one Of
the premier coaches of the American
game in the middle west, he couldn't
well be that, but he IS loyal to his alma
mater and willing to accept the situa-
tjon as it stands. There is little ques-
ton but that he will be rendered tho
position Of coach If Rugby is adopted
as his general knowledge of football
as a game and his past successes make
him the logical choice for the place.

around his neck, Frank Docl1al was
found dead by Mr.. Horinek, on whose
farm the tragedy occurred. The body
was still warm when found and from
all appearances the rope had slipped,
probably due to the mans struggles
while choking, for the body when found
was partly touching the ground. Doc
