A horse belonging to Joseph Car
rier. Biddeford marketman, was
mysteriously stabbed in the breast ii
few nights ago while standing on Elm
street. The wound was six or seven
inches deep. the horse being nearly
dead from loss OF blood when discov-
cred. The only theory advanced to
account for the happening is that the
animal. which has a habit of swapping
at people. although never known to
bite anyone, made motion as if to
grab some pedestrian while passing
and that the latter whipped out a long
bladed knife and plunged it into the
animaTS breast. 1t is thought that
the horse will be as well as ever i'm
few days if blood poisoning does not
set in

THE WHEAT DAMAGE.
Is Serious-Many Fields Go Into
Corn.

Many reports to grain men from
different parts of Kansas indicate Sc
rious damage to the wheat fields.
One authority estimates that in a
general way the wheat in the eastern
half of the state is damaged SO per
cent. In many entire fields the wheat
is dead. In other instances, even in
the same counties, the fields are all
right. 1t is notable that the damaged
fields are generally where the soil is
black and heavy. In cases where the
soil is sandy and open there is little
or no damage.
In the eastern half of the western
half of the state; that is, in the heav
lest wheat areas, where the bulk of
the crop is grown in this state, the
damage is less and is estimated at
90 per cent. In the western fourth OF
Kansas, which sometimes raises q
big crop of high grade wheat, condi-
tions are uncertain and will continue
so.
There is one fortunate circumstance
in connection with the damage to
the wheat, and that is it is mostly in
soil adapted to corn. In these cases
of course the farmers will pillow up
their fields and put in a crop of corn
or oats.
The damage is largely attributed to
the heavy rains in November being
held by heavy soil and the repeated

freezings, leaving the plants which
were killed later by the cold; the adj
ditional damage being caused by the
sleet and ice which remained for a
long time on certain fields smothering
the plants.
Capt Phillips of the Chicago board
of trade who has several thousand
acres of wheat in Harvey county,
visited his field yesterday and says
that two-thirds of his wheat is killed.
J. N. Fike of Colby, Kan, former
1,400 acres of wheat himself, says in a
letter to a grain company:
-. NJ. Carpenter, who has 1900 acres
of wheat in this county, reports at least
IS per cent damage. Frank Bray. on
the east side of the county, says that
in one field he examined not one spear
in ten thousand was alive. Marshall
Leach of the northeast part of the
county says he estimates damage at
20 to 20 per cent. In looking over some
Of my fields 1 think my former estimate
If 40 to 60 per cent about correct, I'M
.ess the later freeze put more of it to
he bad"
A letter from W. J. Trousdale, presi-
dent of the Midland National bank of
Newton, Kan, says: THE fine wealth
er we have had the last few days has
proved beyond any doubt that 80 per
cent of all of the wheat between New
ton and Dodge City has been winter
killed and the farmers now are prepar-
ing to put the land in oats and corn.
The renters on my farms in Harvey,
5000 acres of wheat last fall and they
report that so per cent or more of that
land will have to be put in spring

A WHITE PLAGUE CAMP.
Want Tented City for Consumptives
Esta blished Near Here.

Proposition for the establishment of
a tuberculosis open air camp will be
given a boost on March IS, when dele
gates from the various Brotherhoods
of the city meet to discuss the ways
and means for establishing such a
camp.
If the present plan is carried into
effect a building containing room
enough for Kitchen, dining room and
dispensary will be secured. 1t is pro-
posed to have porches wide enough to
accommodate many chairs and cots.
If possible the site of the institution
would be near the city limits.
One plan advanced was that of a
tented city.
The camp would not be a purely
charitable institution, but the cost to
the patients would be so low as to
make it possible for those to take ad-
vantage of it who could not AFFORD to
go to some high priced resort. Ac-
cording to plans the cost would be but
% cents day. Those interested in
the promotion of the enterprise do not
want patients to feel they are getting
something for nothing

HE HUNTED TROUBLE.
Police Declare Reporter Sloan Had
Fighting Suit On.

That c. A. Sloan, who accuses Chief
of Police Eaton of assau1ting him
wednesday night, was hunting trouble,
and had announced that there would
be trouble, is the latest version of the
scrape to be made public. According
to the police the reporter had boosted
that there would be trouble when he
saw the chief
This statement was made in connec-
ton with a discussion of the arrest of
Chief Eaton which occurred last even
ing. The head of the police depart
ment was notified and went to the
court house and waived service. His
bond was fixed at $500 but he was al
lowed to go on his promise to appear
for trial March IL.
According to the police Sloan told
Rad Lee, clerk of the court of Topeka,
he was going to raise row because
the chief of police had held OUT a
story on him. He is also alleged to
lice department, at 4 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, that something would
be popping when he saw the chief
of the department.
There is no doubt that something or
someone gave Sloan black eye. The
skin beneath the reporters right eye
is discolored. He had 1t on exhibition
after the fight Sloan also tells of the
dAl0S6Q I4AdAuSI III WHICH, lIlC
police head kicked him.
Sloan is not confined to his room as
was reported this morning. He COW
cred his usual run Thursday after
noon and was at the court house until
after the warrant was served on
Eaton.
Yesterday he called on Mayor Green
and reported the case He was told
that the mayor would investigate it.
1t is believed that the defense of the
chief of police will be that Sloan was
hunting trouble, that he had started
out to raise something, as the re-
porter is alleged to have threatened to
do, and that when Sloan abused him
the chief elected him from the Office.

PREACHERS ACCEPT.
VIII Attend Servant in the House, as
State journal Guests.

Several prominent Topeka preach
ers today accepted the invitation of the
State Journal to see the Servant in
the House next Tuesday night.
"On principle should not hesitate to
co. said Rev. Thos. s. Young, pastor
of the First Baptist church. "but
should like to know what proposition
the State Journal has in mind. I have
desire to know about play"
When the proposition was fully ex-
planned to DR.. Young that there were
no conditions whatever. he did not
hesitate in accepting the offer and i'm
mediately went to the telephone to
invite his wife to attend with him on
Tuesday evening. $3.50
ct feel as DIR. Sheldon does said
he, when he had hung up the receiver.
THAT is. that the trouble is not with
the theater. but with some individual
plays which are not of a high moral
tone"
DR.. F. L. Hayes, pastor of the First
CONGREGATIONAL church, when ap-
preached in respect to the play, said
that he had already contemplated go
ing but that he had not reached the
point where he could decide whether
the time has come when 1t is wise for
the ministers to attend the playhouses.
Fear of offending some one by so do
ing was the point in question.
DR.. f. L. Lynch, pastor of the First
Methodist church. said: Eyes. I'll go
and write q criticism. but I'll reserve
my comments until afterwards"
Dean Kaye attended the play last
year and was delighted with it. He
could not attend at this time on ac-
count of it being Lent.
Rev. J. H. Jones OF the Unitarian
church was pleased to accept the invi-
tatfon, stating that as he was a Uni
tartan, there could be no possible OBJ
lection to his attending any play that
was a good one.
It was not possible for Dr. S. S.
Estey to attend on account of a pre-
vious engagement. He did not express
himself in regard to this particular
play, but in speaking of moving pic
ture shows, he said: Seems to me
in the moving picture there is a great
educational value. L believe the NOV
ing pictures could be used to advan-
tage in our schools
Rev. H. G. Holcombe also had an
engagement. He said: ct would not
object to going to the theater for the
purpose of criticising a play, but you
know that the Methodist church gem
orally does not approve of the theater''
The guests of the State Journal are
all requested to write a criticism Of
not more than 200 words of the play.
Reservations may be made Monday at

DAWSON AFTER FACTS.
Wants to Prove Kansas Freight Rates
Are Too High.

John Dawson, attorney for the rail-
road board, has appealed to the secre-
tary of agriculture, the bank commits
sioner and other state officers for
statistical information to aid him in
his suit against the railroad companies
for lower freight rates.
Mr.. Dawson, in his suit before the in
terstate commerce commission, alleges
that Kansas has wealth, farm pro-
ducts, population and business have
doubled many times over since these
freight rates were made by the railroad
companies quarter Of a century ago.
He believes that the new conditions
and the increase warrant a readjust-
ment of rates along the lines of re-
vision downward. He is asking the
various state departments for accurate
and detailed statistics to bear out his
allegations.
This freight rate case is the most inn
portant from Kansas standpoint ever
brought before the commission. Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Texas are all band
ed together in this suit for recognition.
Evidence will be taken by Commissioners
Prouty in this suit in Kansas City, be-
ginning March IS.

BASEBALL TN SCHOOLS.
Recommended by an Educator at the
indianapolis Meeting.

Indianapolis. Ind. March 4.-Raseball
should be an important part of the ed
ucation of children. and every school
boy and perhaps every school girl
should play the great American game,
in the opinion of William A. Stecher,
director of physical training in the pub
lie schools of Philadelphia, expressed
today in the conference of hygiene
of the National Educational association
in this city.
Each school should have a baseball
club and the clubs should visit each
others grounds in the fashion of the
profess ional leagues. Mr.. Stecher said.
Increased attention must be paid to
strengthening the bodies of children If
their mentality is to improve, he point
ed out, and he declared that of all
games, baseball provides the best and
safest exercises.
Many phases of school hygiene and
physical training were considered by
the educators that remained for the
closing session today of the convention
of the department of superintendence
of the National Educational associa-
ton.
