WATER AT PENTTENTIARY
Warden Botxin Solves Problem
Pump From River.

Leavenworth. Kan, Oct. 25.-The
inadequate water supply of the state
prison at Lansing soon will be a thing
of the past. Instead of depending
upon a couple of wells for water,
Warden j. D. Botkin is causing a re-
liee pipe to be laid from the pumping
sation to the Missouri river, and an
electric pump will take the place of
the antiquated steam machines which
have been in use many years and have
caused no little trouble.
With these Improvements the water
supply trouble at the prison will be
eliminated, and a product quite as
wholesome as that now being used will
be furnished. The water after being
pumped will be filtered in the reser-
voir, thereby insuring it from germs
and other foreign matter.
s. T. Seaton, pardon clerk, is at the
prison comforting with several prison
ers who are seeking releases on pa
role. Among these is Jap" Rainey,
who has been in the prison nineteen
years for the alleged murder of his
sweetheart. Rainey is the man who
several weeks ago fell to his knees and
pleaded with the pardon clerk to bring
about his release. This Mr.. Seaton is
understood to have promised to do.

SWEET CLOVER IN FTNNEY.
Garden City Man Ships First Load
of Seed.

Garden City, Kan, Oct. 25.-It is
estimated that there are over 5000
acres of sweet clover in Finney county
alone this year. The cultivation of
this one-time despised weed, is rapidly
growing, since it has proven almost
the equal of alfalfa.
E. G. Finnup and William Wonn
have 5000 acres of the sweet clover
Mr. Finnup threshed 923 bushels of
seed from 120 acres. He shipped
from Garden City this year the first
car of this seed ever to be shipped in
the world.
Charles 1. Zirkle is another Finney
county grower. He harvested 500
bushels of seed this season. 1t is
worth from $3.50 to SIS per bushel.
The first man in Finney county to
grow the sweet clover for feed was
Milton Marshall, two miles east of
town, who threshed the first seed
three years ago. c. N. Bowers of near
Ho1comb also grew it in small way.
Last year was the first that much at
tention was paid to it.

REVERSE FELINE CASE.

Return Money to X. G. Club.

Cincinnati, Oct. 25.-The National
baseball commission has reversed
finding by the National board and or
dered Player L. S. Feline, of the Min
neapolis club, to reimburse the Kansas
City club of the American Association
for two weeks full salary and two
weeks half salary advanced to him by
the latter club. The National board

cause he was injured while member
of the Kansas City club and according
to the rules of the National Associa-

the injury to Feline was not as serious
as he represented it to the National
board and ordered the men refunded.

VICTIM OF DEMON.
Ruth GILES of Kansas City Made Pris-
oner of Drink CraZed Man.


Kansas City, Oct. 25.-Ruth GILES,
1 4 years old, a Kansas City, Kan, high
school girl, was the prisoner for four
hours last night of a man apparently
crazed by liquor. Miss GILES is the
only daughter of Louis ]. GILES, man
ager for a lumber company on the
Kansas side and former member of
the Kaw Valley drainage board. Just
as Miss GILES reached the foot of the
stone steps leading to her home the
man seized her, choked her and drag
ged her into a c1ump of woods not far
away
When the girl had not reached
home at o'clock her mother became
frightened and notified the father.
He hurried home and began search.
The searching parties at once be-
gan to enter the clump of woods on
the hilltop with dogs and lanterns.
Ruth was found in dazed condition.
The man fled when he saw the lights
of the searchers as they came up the
hill Aside from the marks on her
throat and few slight bruises caused
by falls and from being dragged
through the underbrush, the girl suf-
fered no injuries.

FEARED NEGRO BLOOD.
Allen County Girl Kills Self Before
Marriage.

lola, Kan, Oct 25.-The most per-
sistent post morton held in connection
with the suicide of Miss Mae Smith, in
which her friends assumed the self
appointed task of seeking a cause for
her rash act, has apparently reached
a decision. That a strong, healthy,
merry, handsome girl in the prime of
youth should destroy herself with
studied and even happy determination
offered a problem. The rumored solu-
ton of the mystery is that Miss Smith,
arriving at an age when she contem-
plated marriage, came to suspect that
she might have negro blood in her
veins Certain known facts as to her
parentage, while not proving this,
made it possible, and inability to learn
the truth caused the doubt to prey on
her mind. Such, at least, is the theory
which has been advanced since her
death.

TO FIGHT TE1LEGRAPHERS
Katy Discharges Union Men-Prepar-

Parsons, Kan, Oct. 25.-F'ollowlng tne
recent refusal of the M. K. & I. rail-
road to accede to the demands for high
er wages made by the telegraphers en-
pIoyed on it's lines, members of the Or
der of Railway Photographers are being
laid off and their places are being fill
ed by men who are not identified with
the organization, according to local re-
ports. The company has taken this
action, it is believed, in order to pre-
pare for emergencies which may arise
from a general strike which the teleg-
raphers say is impending.
No strike has been declared. but no
tice was served on the company some
time ago that a general walkout may
be ordered If the increase in wages is
not granted.

ANNUAL BOAT RACE.
Yale and Princeton Crews VIII Con-
test on Carnegie Lake.

test on Carnegie Lake.
Princeton, N J., Oct. 25.-The oars
men of Yale and Princeton will estab-
lish a new angle in the inter varsity
rowing history when the two right
cared shells meet in a dual autumn
regatta on Carnegie lake here this af-
ternoon. Boat races between the crews
of the two universities are not events
confined to modern athletic history,
since the sweep swingers of a genera
ton ago matched rowing skill and
stamina, but a varsity boat race in
the late fall is an innovation in the
records of dual competition between the
New Jersey and Connecticut colleges.
The race which was rather hastily
arranged, marks a departure from the
Yale policy of last season when no
preliminary contests were attempted
previous to the four-mile race against
Harvard at New London.
