You this week, for contributions have
been unusually fine in quality aud

the interesting and well written letters
received this week. Letter writing is
a most important art We cannot all
be artists or authors. but every one
must of necessity write many let
tors in his life. and to know how tc do
that enc thing well is q great accom-
pIishment. Some OF the most charming
writings of that great lover of chill

letters and there arc others who are
known and loved for their letters

CooLEY's PRICE BALKs MILTON
Isbell of Wichita Doesn't Like Joplin
Appearances.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 1O.-Jack Hell
land is authority for the statement that
Larry Milton and the syndicate with
which he is supposed to have been
associated. has given up all idea of
purchasing the Topeka Western league
franchise. Holland received letter
from Milton. in which he gave out the
information that he considered Coo
ley's price too high and had turned
down the option.
It is said that the figure asked was
$4,000, though that is not authorita-
tive. If that was the price named. it
certainly is high enough in COMPARE
son with the $500 which Holland
paid for the Pueblo team and fran
chise last winter.
Millions idea was to take the club
to Joplin for next year, and he had
asked for an early vote on the sale
that he might be free to draft players
when the season for Glass A clubs
opens September Is. Most of the mag
mates kicked on this, though President
O'NeilI had asked each of them to ex-
press himself as to the admission of
the Missouri city by that time. Both
Despair of Lincoln and Fairweather of
Sioux City had stated that they were
not ready to vote on such an impor-
tant matter on such short notice.
President Isbell of the Wichita club
replied in much the same way
Il thlnk tnat this thing of rear
ranging Glass A circuit is altogether
too important to be taken up on such
short notice." said Frank Isbell. what
do we know about Joplin? 1t may be
ripe for Western league baseball and
then, again, it may not be ripe. At
first glance, the appearances are
against it. What should be done is
for President O'Neill to investigate it
himself. He knows more about this
Western league than any of us and he
is better qualified to say whether Jop-
lin would strengthen or weaken the
circuit. What we want to do if To-
peka is going to get out, is to get a
better city rather than one which will
be a burden in the end if the team
doesn't happen to be a winner
There is one thing strongly against
Joplin and that is that with pennant
winning team this year, it was neces-
sary to take up a collection among the
business men of the city to keep the
club running until the short Western
association season closed.

How Far Movement Has Gone

Chicago. Sept. lot is planned to
organize a new professional baseball
league, to be operated in competition
with the present National and Ameri-
can leagues. Just how far the move
ment has advanced cannot be ascer-
tanned. but players of reputation say
that many stars of the present organ
izations have been approached by a
D. A. Fletcher of Cincinnati. o., who
is said to be the instigator of the
scheme to organize the new baseball
league.
According to one of the players who
was asked to Join the league the
scheme is to obtain eighty or more
of the high-class men from both the
National and American leagues and
put them into one organization of
probably four or more teams. He

It would be worth their while to join

curing the players from both the Ma

expensive, as the promoters have
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, ac-
cording to their rank in the major
league company at the present time.
In addition they have offered them a
contract for fVe years at the salary
they are now receiving.

MANEUvERs ABOUT OVER.
But Two Deaths Occurred Among
10000 Men at Fort Riley.

Junction City, Kan, Sept. 10.-The
maneuvers at the Fort Riley camp of
militia troops will all be gone by sun
day and Wednesday will see the de-
parture of the regulars who have been
encamped there. The past week has
probably been the biggest of the en-
campment, and many interesting prob
lens were worked out.
General Oliver. the assistant secre-
tary OF war, who spent several days at
the camp. expressed himself as being
much pleased with the work of both
regulars and militia, and his approval
of the camp of instruction may result
in the next one being carried out on
a much larger scale.
The most noticeable feature of the
month has been the big Improvement
shown by the militia. The work by the
state troops has been above the aver
age, particularly among the Kansas
and Missouri boys. The latter will
they leave for home on Saturday and
Sunday.
The First regiment of Oklahoma ma
tfonal guards left for Guthrie. after
having been in camp twelve days. The
Oklahoma troops had the advantage of
preliminary work in drill and rifle
practice, having taken part in an en-
campment at Chandler, Okla, just
prior to their arrival here.
The largest maneuvers of the entire
In this the Second. Fourth and Sixth
regiments of Missouri national guards,
assisted by small attachments from
the cavalry and infantry arms of the
regular service. were the attacking
party. Commanded by Brigadier Gen
eral H. G. Clark, commandant of the
Missouri troops, this force captured and
held the Sixth field artillery and Sew
enth cavalry, all regular troops.
With the exception of several days
when the camp was too muddy for
comfort. the conditions have been
ideal. The increased supply of water
was one of the big improvements over
previous camps. This enabled the con-
struction of bath houses. several to
each regiment These were equipped
with shower baths. and were in con-
slant demand by the soldiers, especial
" during the hot weather. The use
of these baths insured personal clean
illness, while the natural drainage sys-
tenn made the general sanitary condi-
ton good. AS a result, there has been
an unusually small amount of sickness.
But two deaths occurred among the
$4,000 men that were stationed at the
camp. One was due to carelessness,
and the other incurred while on duty,
to heart disease, so that there were
no fatalities actually growing out of
the maneuVers.

CLOUD COUNTY FAIR.
Will Be Held at Concor6ia Sept. 20
to "a. Inclusive.


Concordia, Kan, Sept. 10.-The
Cloud county fair will be held from
Sept. 20 to "a. The management will
endeavor this year to surpass any fair
ever given in this part of Kansas. The
automobile races last year were a great
attraction but the auto races this year
will eclipse any race ever held in
Kansas.
The directors have deviated from
the usual program for county fairs
and have billed free to everyone the
ure of which is a hore and rider div
ing from a 40 foot tower.
The exhibit of agricultural and hor-
ticultural products will surpass any
display ever witnessed here.
The harness races are filling with
speedy horses and the directors predict
that the track record of 2:12A, held
by Billy Barleycorn, will be lowered.
The seating capacity of the amphi-
theater will be enlarged to accommo-
date the increased attendance which
will undoubtedly be here, owing to the
added features not usually seen at
county fairs.
An exhibition of Shetland ponies,
not over As inches high, is a new at
traction for the association.
The county school work has been
an attractive feature in the past, but
the county superintendent has prom
Used surprise this year.
The citizens of Concordia are loyal
to the Cloud county fair association
and this year have subscribed to a
large special premium list.
Concordians are known as royal
entertainers. All strangers attending
this year will be welcomed and cared
for by our loyal citizens.

BRILLIANT HARTFORD RACES.
Uhlan Breaks Worlds Trotting Record
to Wagon in Exhibition.

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 10.-The
breaking of the worlds trotting rec
ord in an exhibition mile by horse
driven to wagon and without shield
was the feat accomplished at the
Grand Circuit races, at Charter Oak
park by Uhlan, 1:58% driven by C. K
G. Billings of New York. Uhlan was
paced by a runner and negotiated the
mile in 2:01A. The task undertaken
was to break the record established by
Hamburg Belle of 2:04A
The performance of the gelding is
considered the best of his career, all
things considered. The mark of 1:5S%
was made at Cleveland under track
conditions decidedly more favorable
than those on Friday. for the under
surface of the course here was soft,
owing to the heavy rains of the early
week. A strong wind also swept the
course.
The time by quarters was as fol-

TIRED OF BEING HELD UP.
Wichita Business Men Will Have Pro-
lection From Charity Graft.


lection From Charity Graft.
Wichita, Kan, Sept. 10.-The bust
ness men of Wichita are going to make
it impossible for organizations and in
dividuals to graft in the name of char
ity. In a few days it will be necessary
for persons who want to solicit for
charitable purposes to have the en-
dorsement of a committee known as
the charities endorsement committee.
The charities endorsement commit
tee will be fully organized at a meet
ing which is to be held in few days.
The idea of a charities endorsement
committee originated with NJ. w.
Woods, superintendent of the Sedgwick
home. His attention has been called
numerous time lately to persons who
were using the cloak of charity for
personal gain. It will be impos-7
sible for this to be done when the new
organization is perfected. Every So
Iicitor will have to carry an endorse
ment from the charities committee. No
person or organization will be endorsed
until it has been investigated. 1t viii
be required to make reports OF its
work to the committee.

LOST A MILLION DOLLARS.
Kanass Farmers Loss on Poor Quality
OF Eggs Last Year.

OF Eggs Last Year.
Manhattan. Kan, Sept. 10.-A cir
cular put out by the State Agricultural
college declares that one million dol
lars was lost by the Kansas farmers
last year because of the poor quality
of eggs they put on the market The
immense loss was due to the fact that
stale, dirty, stained washed, small
cracked and rotten eggs were, in many
instances, marketed with the good
ers to quote lower prices in order to
overcome the loss and the producer,
in this instance, pays the bill
Eighty egg buyers in Kansas have
agreed to pay two cents above the
market price for good sized and abso-
lutely fresh eggs, provided they are
marketed in large enough quantities
to make it worth while Last year
nearly every case marketed had an
average loss of two dozen eggs This
