SCHEDULE is ADOPTED.
National Will PLAY 154 Games But
Season VIII Be Prolonged.

New York. Feb. 19.-The National
league last night adopted Il playing
schedule calling for 154 games for the
coming season, but it was only accom-
plished after a majority of the mag
mates had expressed their opinion that
newspaper criticism over the delay was
causing unfavcrable publicity.
Though the wishes of the American
league for a 154 game schedule were
met, that leagues interests were disre-
garded when it was resolved to stretch
the schedule out to October Is. The
American league schedule terminates
on October 9. although all league con-
tracts with players call for service I'M
til October 10. Ebbetts of Brooklyn
and Murphy of Chicago insisted on
using their players up to the contract
time. The claim of former Manager
William H. Murray of the Philadel-
phia club for two years salary on his
contract was considered by the board
of directors last night.
The board decided it had jurisdiction
of the Murray case and accordingly
notified the Philadelphia club that it
must explain within i 5 days why Muir
rays contract was broken.

PRIZE KANSAS STEER.
Thousands OF People Say That He
Should Not Be Killed.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 19.-Professor
Kinzer, of the Kansas State AgricuI-
turaI college, received a letter recently
from the Hartford Market company,
that had purchased the grand cham
pion steer, King Ellsworth, from the
college, asking for advice as to what to
feed him to keep up his flesh condition.
The company paid approximately $40
for King Ellsworth and it was their in
tention to dress him and advertise the
choice cuts Of beef at high prices.
This plan has been abandoned on ac-
count of the opinion that it would be a
This sentiment was so strong that the
company felt certain that the choice
cuts of beef, even when advertised,
would go begging. AS a result they
sold him to Mr.. Slater of Windsor, Con-
neticutt, who intends to exhibit the
steer throughout New England and for
that reason he is very anxious to keep
him in the best Of condition.

HOG PRICES SOARING.
x. c. Packers Fight at Stock Yards for
swine at Any Cost.

Kansas City. Feb. 19.--The price for
live hogs paid by the packers yester-
day overtopped anything that ever has
been paid in the Kansas CITY stock
yards, and it is predicted that the top
price is yet to come. This morning
the tops were 421s cents a hundred
pounds higher than ever known here
until this week.
For months the price of hogs has
been going upward and the packers
have been buying everything that
showed.
Yesterday morning the packers went
into the yards like knights of old go
ing to jousting tourney. Instead Of
competing for my lady's favor they
went into the contest to buy anything
that even resembled a hog. The prices
began to elevate almost as soon as the
market opened as the best hogs were
selling around SO and $g.221k a hun
dred pounds. One pioneer commission
man predicted. that $40 hogs would be
seen in Kansas City by July.
The price Yesterday was the highest
since the CHI olera scourge of 1882.
During that period when the fearful
disease wiped out millions of hogs the
price went I'D to IS and $3.50. But
the price of $9.221k hundred has
never been heard of before.

STUDYING ROOD FACTORIES.
Domestic Science Department X. S
A. C.. to Visit Kansas CITY.

The domestic science department of
the Kansas State Agricultural college
is planning a trip to Kansas City for
the senior girls, to be taken some time
in the spring term, where thew will
visit all the different kinds of food
production plants in the city The girls
have been instructed theoretically on
these subjects and it is the intent of
the instructors that they shall see the
real plants in operation. Miss Grace
Woodward of the domestic science de-
partment will probably act as chaperon
and guide.
Last year the class was taken to
Topeka, where they visited the pack
ing house, pickle factory, hospitals
and one of the leading furniture stores.
At the packing house they saw the
whole operation from the packing to
the turning out of the finished product
At the hospital they learned of the
care of the sick and at the furniture
store they were taught some things as
to good taste and economy in furni-
ture. Wall paper also came IN for

BIG WILL CONTEST.
Relatives of the Late Henry Ettenson
May Get Together.

May OeG IOSetnef.
Leavenwortl. Kan, Feb. 19.-The
contest over the 100000 estate of
Henry Ettensen- a Leavenworth mer-
chant who died in Excelsior Springs
last October, probably will be settled
out of court before the beginning of
the March term of tho circuit court
Of Clay county.
Judge William G. Holt. one of the
executors. said that an agreement as
a basis for settlement practically had
been nfade. He would not make pub
lie the terms of the agreement.
The will Of the merchant gave the
bulk of the estate to Samuel Etten-
son, the son who stood by him after
divorce proceedings fourteen months
ago. Mrs. Rebecca H. Ettensen, his
former wife, who was given 100000
worth of property as alimony, and the
other three sons and two daughters
were cut off with requests of 81 Sew
era1 relatives in Russia and Mr.. Etten-
sens brothers and sister in the United
States were bequeathed 5000 to $4,000
each. 7w ee+
The contention of the disinherited
members of the family, who sought to
break the will, was that Mr.. Etten-
sens mind was unsound when he
made the will.

STOP HOG CHOLERA
Agricultural College Is Prepar-
ing q Preventive.
Increase Crop Hundreds of
Thousands of Dollars.
OVER 100000 DOSES
100000 DOSES
To Be Distributed This Year by
Manhattan College.
Results of How an Experiment
Turned Out.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 19.-In many
sections of Kansas hogs would be the
most profitable of all crops if it were
not for the ravases of hog cholera. The
value of this crop would be increased
several hundred thousand dollars a
year in the state if the cholera could
be Kept in check, and the Kansas State
Agricultural college has undertaken
this task through the production and
distribution of anti-hog cholera serum.
The college expects to produce more
than 100000 doses of the serum this
year. A considerable part of this serum
has already been produced and thor
cughly tested both at the college and
in private herds. These results war
rant the above statements The first
lege was tested by the veterinarians
with representative of the United
States department of agriculture. 1t
was done as follows:
Six susceptible shotes (pigs which
would take the cholera very easily
were used, each Weighing about 40
pounds. They We're each given two
cubic centimeters of virulent blood, in
jected into the muscles of the thigh.
Virulent blood is blood filled with the
germs of hog cholera and is taken
from hog almost ready to die with the
disease. Two of these pigs were each
given, in addition to this blood. a full
dose of the anti-hog cholera serum.
Two more were given only three
quarters of the regular dose OF serum.
These pigs were all of about the same
age, size and condition. and were all
Kept in the same pen, fed and cared for
alike.
The results were as follows: The two
which received only the virulent blood
died with acute hog cholera as shown
upon poSt-mortum examination. One
died on the sixth day and the other on
the seventh day after the injections
were made. The remaining four. the
ones which received dose of the serum
in addition to the virulent blood never
lost a feed and have remained well and
hearty since.
In the beginning of an outbreak of
cholera, if properly done, vaccinating
frequently saves at least a part of the
herd, but it does very little, if any, good
after a herd is thoroughly infected.
The serum will not cure the cholera, but
is only a preventive. 1t is therefore
necessary to act promptly.
The anti-hog cholera serum produc-
ton at the State Agricultural college
is progressing very satisfactorily and
at the plant there was a shortage of
one thousand doses of the serum is a
mistake. The plant has now on hand
from twenty-five to thirty hyper i'm
munes, or hogs which have been treat
ed, to furnish the serum. The Hog
Cholera Bulletin is being distributed
and may be obtained by addressing
the Experiment Station, Manhattan,
Kansas.

The relay race between the boys
teams of the junior and sophomore
classes was an exciting event. if the
struggles of the participants around
the four weighted chairs could be
called that. At any rate, it was a
most difficult and dangerous feat and
marred by the fact that Mooney of

slippery track and sidled into the goal
post on the final lap. His injury was
not serious, however. The juniors won
by a narrow margin. The contest

New York, Feb. 19.-When it
comes to getting his men off for an
early start Muggsy McGraw of the
Giants has it on all the big leaguers.
The scrappy little manager realizes
that he has big task ahead of him
and is not losing any time in getting
his men to work. Training will be
done this year as usual at Marlin
Springs, Texas.
Two months are left to build up a
team that can make it interesting for
the Cubs and Pirates, and this is
what New York fans want now. With
a pitching staff McGraw might have
done it last year. Given a pitching
staff this season, with a probability
that Mike Donlin will be back in the
game, he has a great fighting chance.
