wAsHBURN LOSES FINAL GAME
No Match for William Jewell in Bas-
ketbaII.

Washburn lost the final basketball
game of the season last night in the
Thomas gymnasium to William Jewell
by the score to Is to 25. The game
was hotIy contested from start to fin
ish. The first quarter was nearly
through before the first score was
made by Ream of Washburn, who
scored a field goal from a long try
The first quarter ended with the
score to in favor of William Jew
ell, and the first half with the Mis-
souri, boys leading to g.
At the beginning of the second half
McNeish tied the score with a difficult
goal and a moment later CLANCY scor-
ed a free throw, putting Washburn
in the lead Excitement ran high and
the players of both teams seemed to
be also affected several fumbles being
made due to overeagerness. The Will
liam Jewell forwards, however, secur-
ed several goals in quick succession
and kept a safe lead until the finish.
William Jewell had a heavier team
than Washburn, and their center,
Norman, was usually able to secure
the jump over CLANCY of Washburn,
thus giving them a big advantage.
Both teams were good on passing the
ball but seemed to have difficulty in
locating the basket
For Washburn. McNeish and Bishop
played the best game, while Captain
Babb probably showed up to the best
advantage for William Jewell.
The Lineup was as follows:

END OF SOUP Line
This Is Last Day of City Free
Lunch.
Mayor Billiard Says 1t Has
Served Purpose.
SARE'S GOOD WORK
MatrOn at Station Has Made Ii
a Success.
Worked Night and Day to Feed
the Needy.

The soup line will be discontinued III
the end of this week. 1t was started
through the suggestion of Mayor J. 3
Billiard more than seven weeks ago as
d system OF relieving the suffering of
the destitute people ana those who
were out of employment in the city.
Mayor Billiard paid the expenses OF
conducting the soup line for the first
week ana it has Jeen maintained at
the expense OF the public from dona-
lions which the people of Topeka have
offered and it has not cost the tax
payers a cent. While it has been oper-
ated on donations it has done much
to allay the suffering of the destitute
of the city and prevented much suf-
fering which would have resulted dur
ing the excessive cold weather.
Mayor ]. b. Billiard suggested the be-
ginning of the soup line and in doing
this he received the support of Mrs.
Della Sare the police matron, who
was equally anxious to get into the
work and do everything possible
toward relieving the suffering human
ty of the city. 1t is through her ex-
cellent management that it has been
possible to continue the soup line III
to this time without calling for Other
donations or calling upon the city tax
payers to aid her in the work. Not
only has she superintended the excess
sive amount of work in connection
with the operation of the soup line but
she has attended her other duties
which are assigned to her as the police
matron. With this great amount Of
work, Mrs. Sare has suffered cOnsid
cradle fatigue and was confined to her
bed for two or three days because of
it, She recovered and has worked con-
tinuously during the last few weeks.
Even though she has continued in this
work, and even now serves soup to
more than % and usually 40 to 90
persons every day, she and Mayor Bill
lard are willing to continue the soup
line but do not think it is necessary.
They realize that spring work has not
opened up but think that the weather
has improved sufficiently and that work
has increased to a degree to remove
the necessity of continuing the soup
line any longer.
Nothing doing in the baby mystery.
The police have exhausted every clue,
have travelled the streets of the city in
search of additional information bu'
have failed to establish anything
against any person. Cases of this char
acter are the most difficult the polite
have to contend with. 1t is practically
to fix the responsibility on
any person. They have worked On
three different clues and every one Of
them looked mighty good at the be

After being without a regular pas

the branches would be on a smaller

A few rooms would likely be rented
and equipped with reading rooms,
gymnasium apparatus. etc The cost
would not be more than the benefit
gained. Such work is said to go hand
in hand with church work and it is
not improbable that the North side
church people would support the prop

Reuben Overman, the democratic

had narrow escape last Sunday. In
company with Mrs. Overman he had
been up in the mountains picking
huckleberries during the day and while
returning during the evening, the team
took fright in coming down the noun
tain and as a result broke single tree
and allowed the rig to strike the heels
of the horses. A lively runaway fol
lowed in which Overman was thrown
from the rig and was unconscious for
a while. An examination by the doctor
showed that nothing more serious than
some mighty painful bruises resulted
and Mr.. Overman, while little the
worse for the accident, will be around
in few days.
