FEAR OUTLAWS
May Give All Major League
Towns Two Teams.
Play Continuous Baseball
Take Glass A. A. Clubs.

New York, July 21.-Baseball circles
here were interested in reports that or
ganized baseball was planning to head
off outlaw associations by placing clubs
OF strong minor leagues in cities where
the fields now is exclusively held by
either the National or American
Leagues.
Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. De-
troit, Cleveland and Washington were
the cities named where either Inter
national League or American Associa-
ton teams might be placed. No repre-
sentatives of the organized game could
be found who would confirm this. The
nearest approach was the quoted re-
mark of President Ebbetts of the
Brooklyn club that something of the
sort had been discussed. He would not
add to this statement.
The idea as outlined would be to
provide continuous baseball in the cit
les mentioned and thereby prevent any
outlaw organization from getting pat
ronage sufficient to give 1t a strong
foothold which might enable 1t to de-
velop eventually into an outlaw major
league. 1t is believed that capital for
outlaw undertakings would be rather
difficult to find if such plan were put
in force. 1t would involve the drop
ping of several cities now in the In
ternational and American circuits,
substituting the major league cities
now occupied by but single club.

START HOSPITAL
New Larned Institution VIII
Be Food Producer.
Largest Irrigation Farm and
Demonstration Plant.

Larned. Kansas. July 21.-The first
construction work on the new million
dollar state insane hospital, for which
an appropriation of $4,000 was made
by the last legislature began today Inc
big institution will be erected entirely
on the cottage plan. VIM. Foley OF
Dodge City was awarded the contract
for the first cottage last week at 10
peka on a bid aggregating slightly over
10000. The building Will be 40 feet
wide by 10 feet long with 4Ox50 ex-
tension. 1t viii house 40 patients anC
be absolutely fireproof.
w. E. Brooks and Stance Myers OF
the state board of control, State Archi-
tect Charles Chandler and Contractor
Foley went over the ground and the an
nouncement of the intention to begin
work at once has just been made.
1t is said the contract calls for the
completion of the first cottage by No
vemoer l. at which time patients Will
be brought from other state institu-
tions to care for stock during the
winter and open farming operations
with the coming of spring.
An announcement of peculiar I'M
portance to this section of the state
was made following the departure or
the officials 1t was stated on &c
pendable authority that the admins
tration intends to make the Larned
hospital the one big food producing in
stitution of the state. During the next
II months it will be made the largest
irrigated farm in the state, practically
all of the 1000 acres being placed I'M
der water stored from big concrete
dam to be built at once across the
Pawnee. 1t is planned to raise all farm
products for all the state institutions
here so that the expenses for all the
institutions will be materially decreased
and the local institution placed on u
practically self-supporting basis. Food
production at other state institutions
has proven but partially successful but
the board feels that if efforts along
this line are concentrated here the ex-
pertinent will prove a success that food
production will be practically abandon
ed at other institutions. If this plan
is carried out successfully this vicinity
will have the best irrigation and farm
demonstration station yet given to any
part of the state and the methods used
in food production here will be Of in
estimable value to farmers in this sec
ton.
The custodial buildings, power plant,
laundry, machine shop, canning fac
tory and three additional cottages are
planned for erection following the COM
pletion of the first cottage. Superin-
tendent Tice has announced the Santa
Fe will build a spur to the ground
within the next few days. The state
board plans to keep the incurable and
comfortable insane from the entire
state and the curables from western
Kansas at the local institution.

TIRE OF COMMISSION.
Comp1ainants Claim Increase in Taxes
and Other Expenses.

Wichita, Kan, July Platter try
ing the commission form of govern
ment for more than four years there
are many citizens of Wichita who de-
sire to return to mayor and council
Petitions calling for a special election
to do away with the commission have
been prepared and will be circulated
this summer.
Those favoring the change from COM
mission government say the movem ent
has not been started to get rid of the
present mayor and commissioners, be-
cause should the voters decide on a
change 1t would not take place until
after the next city election in April,
1914.
Arguments against the present form
of government are that it is not repre-
sentative and has been very expensive.
Figures are quoted, showing that taxes
have increased greatly under the COM
mission plan. Only last week the
mayor and commissioners issued $8S,-
900 in bonds to get money to pay the
running expenses

SUGGEST McCLAUGHRY.
Mentioned as Superintendent of State
Reformatory In Illinois.

Mentioned as Superintendent of State
Reformatory In Illinois.
Leavenworth. Kan, July 21.-Major
Robert w. McClaughry may be select
ed by Governor Dunno of Illinois as
superintendent OF the state reforma-
tory at Pontiac. Ill. His name has
been mentioned quite frequently in
connection with the question A num-
Der of prominent men have Interested
themselves in the matter and have
Claughry be given the post, notwith-
standing political differences.
Major McClaughrey's friends are
pointing out that he was the man Sc
lected by Governor John Altgeld in
1898 to take charge of the Pontiac in
stitution. The governor on that occa-
sion disregarded politics. 1t was dur
ing the four years of the Altgeld ad-
ministration that the Pontiac prison
for youthful offenders was placed on a
high plane of efficiency and gave adj
ditional prominence to the warden as
a national figure in this line of work.
Major McClaughry's nation wide
reputation has been built up mostly
by his remarkable success in handling
youthful offenders. He is rated more
as a reformatory head than as a prison
chief, although he ranks as one of the
leading penologists in the country. 1t
is because of this reputation that
friends Of Governor Dunno, who are
interested in the success Of the state
institutions, will recommend Major
McC1aughry for the Pontiac post,
where he will be able to bring his ripe
experience into play.

MRS. EMMA c. WILLIAMS.

A battle that lasted for twenty years
has ended. The forces of Bronchial
Asthma have been put to flight and an
other victory has been recorded for
Natures Creation, the recognized rem
edy for tuberculosis and asthma.
Mrs. Emma c. Williams of Richmond,
Ind, is the lady who benifits by the
heroic work of Natures Creation, and
she tells ''how it happened in the fol-
lowing public statement:
Il want to praise Natures Creation
up to the top notch, for it certainly has
done a great thing for me. 1 had suf-
fered from bronchial asthma for over
twenty years. and doctors had said
that all l ever would get would be
temporary relief. When 1 would have
an attack of the asthma 1 wouldn't be
able to lie down for weeks. 1 began
taking Natures Creation the latter part
of October. 1912. and from the first
could feel the symptoms of asthma
leaving me. Several months ago we
moved from Cicero. Ind, and the NOV
ing did not give me the asthma, and
1 worked hard all the time a thing 1
couldn't have done year ago. J re-
Gently walked six miles without any i'll
effects. Everybody says I look so we'll
and 1 surely feel well, and I wish that
every one who has asthma or tubercu-
losis wouldn't hesitate but begin at
once on Natures Creation. I give you
wish every one to know what the med
fcine has done for me- Respectfully
Mrs. Emma c. Williams, 2034 South A
street, Richmond Ind
Natures Creation is being widely
used for asthma, as we'll as tubercu-
losis and the conditions which lead to

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Usage City and Burlingame Want
County HEADQUARTERS.

Usage City, Kan, July 21.-A coun-
ty seat fight is one of the things sched-
uled for Usage county. For months
there has been talk of starting the
movement, agitation being based on
the condition of the present court
house at Lyndon.
It will be necessary to secure two
thirds of the qualified voters of the
county on a petition to call an election
for changing the county seat, and if
this is started it is not improbable that
Burlingame, too, would try for the
honor. In a three-cornered contest
among Lyndon, Usage City and Bur-
lngame, the chances are that the for
mer would retain the courthouse.

weighed about five pounds. Its body
was smooth and hard as though the
work of a sculptor. It's tail, feet and
ears were intact and there were even
two or three little whiskers project

under which the kitten was found had
been built more than 40 years ago,
the foundation and floors having
never before been disturbed.
