George Davidson, a brother Of Dave
and George Dubois, of this city, put
ON a good preliminary, going % mi.

was then called to allow the big fel-

and strong man, and although he was
out-weighed several pounds by the
st. John man, yet he was able to
go the route without distress.
The first fall was won by the
Wichita man after 25 minutes with a
hammerlOck hold. The second was
a fast and interesting bout from start
to finish, both men going at top
speed all the time, and was won by
the st. John man in % minutes, the
hammerlock also doing the business

LOSES LIE IN cREEK.
Roy Thompson Dorwned While Bath
ing In Walnut.

=
One Of the most distressing deaths
which has occurred in this vicinity in
a long time was that Of ]. Leroy
Thompson, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Thompson, Of this city, who was
drowned while bathing in the Walnut
creek near the John Wood farm,
northeast Of town last Thursday even
ing.
Thompson, who was a young farm
er, came here from Parsons, Kansas,
about three weeks ago, bringing with
him a number of teams, and expected
to work in the harvest fields and
later rent a farm in this vicinity.
With a number of other men he had
BEEN helping to put up alfalfa at the
Wood farm and after supper Thurs
day, in company with three of the
other men, went down to the creek
to rake a bath. The creek was very
. high and running Swiftly, and tie
banks very steep, and the other men
decided not to go in, but Thompson
undressed and proceeded to take a
bath. He could swim but little and
while bathing held to a large grape
vine which ran out over the water.
. After finishing his bath he announced
that he was going to try to Swim
across the creek, but was warned by
ono Of his companions that the wa
ter was too swift for this unless he
was a good swimmer, but he said he
was going to make the attempt.
When he had almost reached the other
side he became frightened and called
for help and the men on the bank
shouted to him to not get excited ant
to swim back, which he started to do
but when he again reached the GEN.
ter the current was too Swift for him
TO overcome and he sank to the bot
tom, coming to the top but once un-
til he disappeared entirely and before
the men ON the bank could come to
his assistance.
Help was Immediately summoned
from the Wood farm close by, but
the bodgcouh not be found and word
= was sent to town and a large Num-
ber Immediately went out to assist
in the search for the body. A boat
,rigged with anchors on each, side was
sent SLOWLY down the stream with
men using poles and the body was
finally ]ocated in this MANNER. Dr.
.NaXonb' Frank Kellam and WIZ HaneI
attempted to bring up the body by
diving, but on account Of the swift
ness OF the current were unable to
do so, and it was finally rescued BY
the use Of hooks at about l O'Clock
the accident having occurred abou
8 O'Clock in the evening.
:. The body was Immediately brough
to town and prepared for burial ant
was taken TO the home Of his par
ents. The funeral services were he'll
at the Presbyterian chunCh SundaI
afternoon at 2:SO. being conducted b.
Rev. Wm. Westwood, and intermeu

GAVE STIFF FINE.

1t is mighty easy for a man who
dispenses booze in Kansas to get into
a heap of trouble, but it is not often
the case that fellow gets into the
tolls because he fails to Sell the stuff
but that is what happened to Harry
Nevels, a young colOred fellow ct
this city the first Of the week. Nevels
has been suspected of dispensing the
forbidden beverage for some time,
and Saturday night bunch Of young
fellows, being seized with a thirst
that water refused to Quench, made
up a purse of 81 which they turned
over to Novels on his promise to Sc
cure them some beer. Nevels re-
turned to the bunch shortly after
ward and Informed them that after
he had secured the desired beverage
and was Fastening through the alley
to make delivery he had been cap
tured by the cops who had confiscat-
ed his load. It was bad enough for
the crowd with the dry throats to be
deprived Of the cooling beverage
which they had been counting on to
prolong their lives, but when Novels
refused to give back the 81 it was
more than good nature could stand
and a complaint was made to the Of
fices and his arrest followed. He
was up before Justice Clayton Mon.
day morning, and while he had failed
to make delivery of the goods in this
case, he was convicted of boot -Eeggini
and was given a fine of 5000 and a
Jail sentence Of six months. Nevels'
story Of the booze being taken from
him was a myth, but he probably
needed the 81 and thought that was as
good stall" to make as anything
else, but the patrons of the Milwau-
kee product were not in a humor to
be worked in this manner. The case
viii be appealed to the district court.

Taking No Needless Risk.

Administration forces may actually feel the

the extensive campaign plans of Secretary Bryan
II all is as sure as pretended, why put the over
worked premier OF the cabinet to the task of
stumping many states at time when the du-
ties Of his own office are most exacting? How
ever deeply imbued the country may be with
these expressions OF self-confdence, II will not
be apt 70 overlook the significance OF this.
From announcements IL appears that Mr..
Bryan 10 to make speeches for congressional or
gubernatorisl candidates, or both, in Indiana,
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Note the
absence OF Illinois from the list. Here another
significant point arises. Much has also been
paraded about the harmony existing throughout
the democracy. That harmony does not, how
ever, soften the heart OF Colonel Bryan to the
extent OF making him willing to stop In Ill-
nois and say word in behalf OF Roger sulli-
van, democratic nominee for the senate, even
though It was the Hon. Roger who delivered
pack and package, the Illinois delegation to the
Bryan presidential candidate at Baltimore.
SO II goes--the return OF democratic house
by big majority Is certain, yet the democratic
leaders will take no risk that their precaution
can avoid. --

Reversing the Order.

Those Missouri stockholders of Northern Pa
eific and Burlington who propose submitting
their appeal for higher freight and passenger
rates TO the commissions of the various states
in which these roads operate instead OF to the
Interstate Commerce commission are reversing
the general order of things, Invariably the
railroad official prefers to send his case to the
federal power, on the theory that one is better
than many authorities.
Aside from the fact. therefore, that the Hill
interests have hit upon the novelty OF getting
outside stockholders to bring up these demands,
special interest centers in this peculiar pro-
gram. II may be that fear OF securing favor

IN day a year let first bring this country's
industries back to their normal condition. This must
be done before increased foreign trade can be

first building up and strengthening the indus

needs, we will be put in much better position
