BAD WEATHER FOR RABBITS.
Two Atchison~ Boys Marketed 500
Dummies In One Day.

Atchison, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE rab-
bit crop around this city is the largest
in years and the recent SHOWS have
aided greatly in the big harvest. Rob-
ert Blair and Ralph Allen brought 500
dressed rabbits, packed in snow and
placed in a large sled. to a grocery
store in one day. The rabbits were
killed northwest of town during the
past two days.
The hunters say they shot only $50
shells to bring down the 500 rabbits.
No dogs were used in the hunt. John
Blair, a brother of Robert. was a
party in the hunt on one day. Harry
Rose killed IS rabbits while hunting
for only hours. The big rabbit sup
ply has cut down the sale of the meat
markets considerably as the game is
cheaper than good meat and many
persons are fond of rabbit meat.

COAL FAMINE is AVERTED.
Return OF Gold Weather VIII Mean
Grief for Emporians.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE adj
vent of warm weather has saved the
town from a coal famine, or perhaps
1t would be more to the point to say,
has averted a famine for the present,
for the early return of cold weather
would still mean serious trouble.
The facts are that the unusually
long stretch of cold weather, the back
bone of which seems to be at least
fractured for the present, ate up all
the surplus coal in town, and for a
week or two the dealers have been
sending out coal direct from the cars.
as soon as they arrived from the
mines, to the consumers.

LINCOLN ALFALFA MILL STARTS.
Has Capacity of About Ten Tons Of
Meal Day.

Lincoln, Kan, Jan. III. C. Coop
er has started his new alfalfa mill.
The machinery is all installed and ev-
erything is now in readiness. The
mill has a capacity of eight to ten
tons per day and is located in the rear
part of the building occupied by the
ice plant. s.-
This was originally built for a cold
storage room but was never used for
that purpose and it serves very well
for the new mill The same engine
that runs the ice plant will be used
to run the alfalfa mill and if business
increases Mr.. Cooper will add another
engine SO AS to. have power to run
both the mill and the ice plant at the
same time.

Hutchinson, Kan, jan 12.-On ac-
count of the increased cost of, living,
Judge Campbell of the Hutchinson po-
lice court has lifted the size Of fines,

doers."

NO MORE PAIRS IN HOUSE
Unless Authorized by Mr.. Dwight, the
Republican Whip.

Washington. Jan. IAN ancient
custom of the house of representatives
which has been in use for fifty years
has been overturned by Representa-
tive Dwight, New York, the Republi-
can whip. who has instructed the pair
clerks at the speakers desk to cease
pairing Republican members except
ing under prescribed conditions. The
move is declared by Democrats and
insurgents to be a move against the
latter. and intended to give the or
ganization additional leverage when
close votes occur.

bought his release to become manager
of the Burlington club in the Central
association
Dick Cooley. owner of the Topeka
team in the Western league, is elated
at the showing recently made by the
st. Joseph fans who recently on base
ball day purchased nearly $4,000
worth Of tickets in advance of the
season.
Il was sure st. Joseph was ready to
be a good baseball town. he said.
1.-THE people there are good sports
and if they are given good team they
will give it good support. st. Joseph
will strengthen the league and also
VIII make easier for us, provided the
break, as the presence of st. Joseph
in the league, will shorten Topeka's
jumps north and in that way save
some railroad fare
The Western league baseball season
this year will open at least one week
earlier than last year. The sched-
ule for 1910 Will be adopted at a
meeting of the schedule committee
to- be held In Des Moines early next
month. A prize of 500 is offered for
the best schedule submitted-the one
which is adopted.
Dick Cooley, owner of the Topeka
club is member of this committee,
and has prepared a schedule which
he will submit. Naturally he has con-
fidence in his preparation and will
try hard to secure the acceptance of
his schedule.
The other members of the committee
are Despair, Lincoln; Holland, st. JOS
eph; Rourke. Omaha: and Higgins,
Des Moines. All the schedules sub
mitted will call for a season opening
about April %. one week earlier than
last years opening.
The fact that the opening games will
be played at st. Joseph, Topeka. Wich-
tia, and Denver, probably means the
jump to Denver will be made from the
two Kansas towns instead of from
Lincoln as in the past. The making
of the schedule will be made hard on
account of the long trip west to play
Denver. The eastern teams must now
jump to Denver one at a time and only
the most skillful schedule making will
prevent one of the eastern teams re-
naming idle while this trip is being
made. Sioux City has come to bat with
request that the Western League sea-
son be made 168-game affair and that
the season be extended to October.
One Of the managerial positions in
the Western League was settled last
week when Owner Rourlxe obtained the
release of Bill Fox from Pittsburg and
announced that the attenuated second
baseman would lead the Omaha team
again this year. Fox took hold of the
Omaha team late last year and did not
get 1t organized to his liking before the
end of the season, but he will have
chance to make better showing in
the season to come.
Frank Isbell, president of the Wichita
ball club, is finishing plans for his
spring training trip in Oklahoma. The
latest games he has scheduled are with
the Oklahoma City teams of the Texas
League. They will be played IN that
city April 9 and 10. Isbell expects to
complete the schedule some time. next
week Ned Pettigrew, the Wichita out
fielder, has returned from his home in
Duncan. Ok. where he spent the last
month hunting. He says he will, sign
his contract now. He refused to sign
1t a month ago on the grounds that
it was too early in the year.

MEXICAN WANDERED IN SNOW.
Worried Over Wife's Death Until He
Became insane.

Belleville, Kan, Jan. 12.-One of
the Mexican laborers employed on the
railroad here, was found wandering
around in the snow barefooted, and
clothed only in his underwear. The
man came here from Mexico about
three weeks ago and has been worry
ing over the death of his wife until
his mind became demented.
He has been sick for over a week
and while alone in his room he got
out of bed and started down the road
toward the round house. He was
brought back to town and is being
cared for by his sister, Mrs. Mendez.

Chicago, Jan. i2.-President Comiskey
of the Chicago American League club
returned yesterday from Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, and said the team proba-
bly, would take their spring training of
1911 at the Missouri resort.
In 1901 and 1902 the club conditioned

Inasmuch as older members of the team
are opposed to the long jaunts to Cali

on the return trip. Comiskey says he is
willing to give the system of years ago
a new trial.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 12.-The
sweeping statement of John A. Klein
hans about the condition of stores in
this city, justly aroused the resent
ment of a vast majority of tradesmen
here. Mr.. Kleinhans now explains
what he meant in his authorized state
ment that kansas City needs inspec-

correct weights, but from a sanitary
standpoint by the following:

SLAYER OF KANsAN HARD HIT.
Man Who Murdered Clay Center Man
Gets Life Sentence.

Tombstone, Ariz., Jan. 1.-THE
lawyers for the state closed their ar
gument in the Pfannkuche murder
trial, and the case was given to the
jury. After being out so minutes they
brought in their verdict of guilty in
the first degree, and the court at once
sentenced Pfannkuche to life impris-
onment.
Pfannkuche last August in a cow
ardly manner killed the manager and
editor of the Bisbee Review, a paper
that he had been employed on. Labor
troubles started the trouble that led
up to the killing.
Pfannkuche four years ago shot
and killed Bruce butcher in Clay Cen
ter, and after trial was acquitted or
the grounds of self defense. He at
once went south with his brother,
up until the time of the killing.

BIDS WE'RE ALL TOO HIGH.
Contract for Erection of *. S. A. G.
Gymnasium Not Let.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE
contract to build the new 100000
gymnasium at the State Agricultural
college was not let here Tuesday, as
the bids were all too high for the
plans and specifications drawn by
State Architect Chandler. The letting
of the contract attracted a large num-
Der of contractors from all parts of
the state.
The highest bid was $12S,000 and
the lowest $4,000, but the latter did
not include the plumbing and heating.
which will be an expensive feature of
the gym, as there are to be two SWIM
ming pools. The appropriation made
by the legislature last winter was
100000 and the contract will have to
be within the limit
Mr.. Chandler will make the changes
necessary to make the bids lower, and
the final contract will be let on Feb
ruary Z.
