Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Mayor Carter
Harrison has been aroused by the
great number of persons who have
been bitten by dogs during the sum-
mer months and has prepared a letter
which he will send to the city coun-

makes an argument for legislati ton
against the CANNES.
The way dogs are allowed to roam
the streets of the city he said last
night, lis disgrace that would not
be tolerated in many European cities
and the legislature should give Chi
cago some new powers to act in the
matter"
The mayor will attach to his letter
some statistics showing the number of
persons bitten by dogs, the number of
animals lmpounded and the number
of prosecutions begun against owners
during the last year.

row to her friends in Topeka. where
she has lived for so many years. The
news will recall to the memory OF

her kindly greeting and charming
smiles, her whispered words of ten
derest sympathy in sorrow, her words

case of need, that so lightened and
Frightened the weary way of life in
years past.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Shellabarger
came to Topeka in 1871, they were a
distinct addition to it's best society,
and their Influence for good and for

as well as IN every move for the help
of the weak or unfortunate. and the
advancement of righteousness in the
community
Seven years ago last Sabbath Mr..
Shellabarger passed away and on
Tuesday she Joined him. Her life was
a constant blessing to her family and
her friends. Tireless in ali good works
her activity was constant, and as we

GIANTS GRooMED FOR TEST.
McGraw Believes Tesreau VIII Be
Great Helm

New York, Sept. 2s.-Manager Nc
Graw, of the New York Nationals, be-
gan grooming his men for the world s
series with the Boston Americans With
the pennant race won, the recruits will
be given the brunt of the work for
the remaining weeks play, while the
veteran players rest in relays, play
ing Just enough to keep in good con-
dition-
1t is seldom that McGraw discusses
the initial work of his young players,
but he said today the debut of Al
Demaree, the Southern League star in
the box against Boston yesterday was
the finest work he had seen done by
a newcomer in 20 years of baseball.
It was Demaree's first appearance for
the locals and although the game was
crucial to the extent that winning it
meant clinching the pennant, the
youngster had almost perfect control.
He struck out nine men, allowed seven
hits. two of which were scratches, gave
only one base on balls and scored a
shutout.
Speculation as to how Demaree would
figure in the worlds series, is useless
as he only reported here on September
4, a week too late to be eligible
Tesreau is being groomed particular
ly for ''spit-ball" pitching against Bos-
ton and Mathewson and Vanguard pro-
badly will each have a chance to start
one of the big games.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 6.-All Kansas today is engrossed in Statewide pri- maries of both parties There are two points of national interest. These consist of the struggle between Taft and Roosevelt presidential electors and the senatorial race. The electoral equation came to notice when several Of those who had announced them selves as candidates declared they would vote for Roosevelt. Taft ad- herents said they would not allow the names of three men on the ReDubli- can ticket Two justices of the Su- prcme Court determined to the con- trary, pending decision by the entire court, but if the Taft men succeed in the primaries today further court ac- tlon will be unnecessary.
