NO TIME TO LOSE.
W. a. Neiswanger Says Park Plans
Should Be Rushed.

I'VE can see no reason" says w. A
lNeiswanger, why complications
should enter into the matter of provid-
ing parks for the city of Topeka, that
is, that there should be a feeling
against the proposition of providing
additional park room at Cages and a
large park for the East side. In view
of the fact that funds are not avail
able for the purchase of the grounds
at this time plans should be entered
into at once to have a distinct under
standing as to the price and terms
covering not only the addition to the
Gage park, but the supplying of the
East side and the shop district with
large and handsome park. Property
holders in the vicinity of the Schuy-
Ter c. Nichols tract and the Santa Fe,
Burton, Gordon-Munn and Jones
tract all adjoining the Santa Fee shop
property are manifesting such an in
terest I am sure will eventually result
in the securing of these tracts for park
purposes.
Mr.. c. r. Jones is willing to get
behind financially the East side park
proposition supplying the funds to a
large extent, if it can be arranged,
necessary to secure these lands, the
city to take up the obligation at a
future time. An army of Santa Fe
shop men have signified their will
ingness to take hold under a leader
who has supervision of parks and
help to take up the beautifying with
out expense of these grounds intend
ed for parks on the East side by clear
ing up and preparing the grounds
and many believe that the total cost
of the Gage park addition as we'll as
that in the shop district is quite a
small item to consider by the city as
whole and our commissioners
should Immediately make such ar
rangements as will result in the near
future in securing all of the lands
mentioned provided the people at
large will ratify their action. BY this
mean that options on all of the land
should be secured, the purchase to
take effect at such time as the city
can afford to pay for the same.
I am sure of this also, that some of
the best friends of the shop district
parks are those who have been push
ing the Gage park proposition, and
regret very much that one locality
should seem to be arrayed against the
other"

Milton Amrine. superintendent of the
state reformatory school at Hutchin-

ganization of baseball league within
the institution a good thing for dis
cipline. A demerit mark for bad con-
ducts bars an inmate from attending
OF taking part in the game.
Eight clubs compose the league and
games are played every Saturday and

places on the teams and the other in
mates take a keen interest in the con-
tests and root like mad for their fav-
orite teams.
Superintendent Amrine has started

the 620-acre farm connected with the
institution. He uses a movable engine
and centrifugal pump and takes water
from Cow creek to save his big garden

INDIAN ADOPTION STANDS.
w. L. Cunningham Wins Contention
Before the Department.

W. L. Cunningham, the Arkansas
City lawyer. won his case for the
adopted children of the late chief,
Wah-shun-gah, of the Kaw tribe of In
dams of Oklahoma, in their efforts to
establish their claims as his heirs.
Mnay other claimants tried to get in
on the division of the estate Of $4,000
on the grounds that they were kin of
the old chief. The Indian department
at Washington spent q good deal OF
time on this case before finally maxi
ing decision in favor of Lucy and
Er1met Tayiah, the adopted children.
The ruling of the department esta-
fishes a precedent. 1t had been urged
by the other claimants of the old
chiefs fortune that there was no status
of legal adoption by an Indian, but the
department held otherwise.
Lucy Tayiah, one of the heirs. lives
at Newkirk, while her brother Emmett
is in school at the Haskell institute.

KANsAN.. MADERo's SURGEON.
Reported DIR. @ A. Wilson Formerly
Had Drug Store in Topeka.

DIR. c. A. Wilson, said to be a form
er Topekan, was the chief surgeon in
the camp of Gen. Madero, the insurrec-
to leader, in Mexico. He was drafted
by the Red Cross society in Mexico to
look after the injuries in the reVolu-
zionist camp and had five assistants.
No kilograms or letters sent by Kan
saS relatives reached Doctor Wilson
while the war was in progress, the
telegraph companies refusing to ac-
cept messages to be sent across the
lines. DR.. Wilson was in charge of
some mining lands, which he owns,
near La Dura, Rio Yaqui, Sonora,
Mexico, when the revolution broke
out. 1t is supposed that when the
actual fighting began and sickness ap-
peared in the camp of the insurrectos
that DR.. Wilson was drafted by the
Red Cross society to take charge of
the sick and wounded in the Madero
camp. AS he had had war experience
and was a surgeon it is supposed that
this is the reason he was put in
charge of the hospital corps.
DIR. Wilson was for time the phar-
macist at the Santa F'e hospital at OF
tawa and then attended the medical
department of Kansas City university.
He graduated in medicine and then
went to Colorado Springs where he
had a drug store and also practiced
medicine. When the Spanish war
broke out and Colonel Roosevelt came
west TO organize MS Rougn RIDERS,
DIR. Wilson was among the first to join
as a private and later was made an
aide on Colonel Roosvelt's staff. He
was promoted for bravery after the
battle of San Juan hill, first to sec
ond lieutenant, and then to first lieu
tenant and assigned to staff duty.
After the war he reopened his store
and resumed the practice of medicine
at Colorado Springs. A few years ago
he sold out and went to Mexico on
some mining ventures. He has been
in charge of the properties ever since.
Topeka druggists say they do not re-
member DR.. Wilson.
