Jest after Jase set down lie
WHISPERED to Hank Dewberry who
set next to him so loud that every
buddy in the hall heerd what he
said, that the reason he volunteard
to drive the horse & Vaughn to the
fire was becuz he'd allus ruther
ride than walk.
Then Eph Higgins our accom-
modating P. M. got up and said he
mooved that the horse and Vaughn
and new pals be purchased by the
town and that Jase Tucker be ap-
pinted to drive the horse to fires
and also to take care of the horse
betwixt fires stitch as currying, bed
ding down at nights feeding ct Get
terry too numerous to mentchion
Afore ennybuddy could seckond
the moshion Jase junpt to his feet
and said he was agin emmy stitch
moshion as that. Jase said that he
was willing to drive the horse but
he'd be doggoned if he'd take care
of the anirnile being as he was the
Cheef of the Bingville Fire Dept
and not a publick town horstler
and he'd resign LIST! Then Jase
c1apt on his hat and went home
Madden a wet hen.
After Jase went out nobuddy
seckonded the moshion being as
they diddent want to lose Jase as
Cheef becuz the office don't pay
and nobuddy else could be
got to take it probably and the only
reason Jase aekts as cheef is fer
the glory of it and gettin to wear a
bright fire badge marked cheef on
his chest at all times.
After further discussion on the
subjeckt the meeting adjourned

probably remain in the same con-
dishion for yrs. in the fuchure.

HAVE YOU
COT RATS?

Some folks has rats in their
atticks and some has EN- else
where. Then agin there is some
who don't have EN- at all. This adj
vertisement is speshially for the
benefit of them as has rats on
their premises.
This is to nounce that have
discovered turrible good medisin
to eradicate rats. Tother dav
whilst | was mixin up a dose Of
medisin to try in the case of one
of my pashients who is critically
i'll and on who I have tribe about
everything for man and beast I can
think of, | left some of this medisin
in a bowl on the table and a rat
come along and drunk some of il
and died in turrible agony afore
it could git into a hole.
When this happend l desided
instid of using this medisin which
[ had discovered for human beings
to use it as a pizen for rats
which l am going to do. l have
made up a whole mess of this med
isin and offer it for sale in little
bottels at the rates of 10 cts Der
bot.
Just pour few drops on
peece of bread and place the bread
near a rat hole then when the rat
comes outen its hole and eats the
bread its good-by rat! This will
also kill cats & dogs as well as rats
so if you have emmy of latter which
you don't further desire around the
premises this is the stuff.
If you are thinking of buvinp
emmy rat pizen see me 1st about f
or you will regret it.

SOME BALL CAME
Topekans i'm Championship
Form Against Blues.
They Win in Eighth by a 2 to 1
Score.

Playing in form that would make
them pennant contenders in any
league. Jimmy Jackson's Topekans
defeated the Kansas City Blues Tues
day by the score of ? to 1.
Rarely will Topekans have a chance
to see better class of baseball, even
should the team clean up everything
in the league. But, unfortunately,
there was hardly a midget's handful
to see Tuesdays good show.
The fact that it was election day
undoubtedly kept some fans away The
threatening weather kept others. But
the principal cause of VacantneSS in
the grandstand and bleachers was the
rotten street car service. The 40 min
ute creeper was the only service the
street car company offered until after
o'clock, and then only one special
car was run.
An accommodating jitney driver
who was t ing a lady to Halifax, was
kind enough TO take on load of fans
and after reaching Halifax by the
Corkscrew route, he finally headed for
the park.
Game Delayed.
The game was delayed until $3.50,
but when the turnsti1e keepers finally
went to sleep at their posts, it was
called and Bert Grover climbed into
the pitching box for Topeka.
The first three Blues up went out
in short order and Tallion led off for
through the legs of Shortstop Wort
man. Cochran followed with a hit to
right field and Tallion tried to make
third, but the mighty Titus winged the
pellet to Tesch who relayed it to
Rath, and Rath tagged Zeke out.
Jackson took the box and flied to
center but Old Cy Slocum Forsythe
planted a deep one in the right garden
and Cochran ran home for the first
tally.
Neither side scored in the next four
innings, but in the sixth Titus got to
first on a single over second base, and
First Baseman Lelivelt, who was next
at the bat, drove him for the Blues
only score with a three Dagger to
right.
A Fast Eighth.
In the eighth inning business picked
up on both sides. The big end of the
Blues batting list faced Weldeman
General Rath hit single to Tallions
reservation. Compton followed with
another single to center and Weide-
man made it a full circuit by walking
Titus.
There were no outs and it looked
like the big blond twirler was in a
hole over his eyebrows. The air was
they were all doomed to be miscar-
riages- Lelivelt hit grounder to
Weideman and the latter cut down
Rath as he tried to make home. Mat

THE Topeka WlLLARDS FRANCHISE TO COOLEY
''Our Own Dick May Become a State
League Magnate.

You can't keep a flea off a dog
back Neither can you keep a born

the national pastime.
Tuesday afternoon, Ira Bidwell,
owner of the Emporia club of the
Kansas State league, announced that
our own Dick Cooley had been voted
Cooley would undoubtedly put team
in some good town in western or CEN
trail Kansas.
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Bid
we'll said:

Cooley into the league it will give it a
prestige that no other club owner
could. Dicks knowledge of baseball
and his ability as a producer is recog-

we feel that he will set a pace in our
circuit that will make things interest
ing all the way around
Just where Mr.. Cooley will put his
team if he takes up the franchise Of
fer, is not known, but as there are a
number of good towns that are anX-
iouS to get into the league, he should
have no trouble in picking a good one.
An effort was made this morning to
get in touch with Mr.. Cooley to ascer-
tain what his plans were, but up to the
time of going to press he had not been
located.
In all probability, the State league
will be a six club circuit this year. 1t

TO EMPORIA SUNDAY.
Santa F'e Apprentices Will Try to
CONQUER the BiddieS.

Sunday afternoon the Santa Fe APP
prentice baseball team will invade
Emporia and will attempt to show Ira
Bidwell and his State league cham
pions how to play the national game.
Arrangements were made Tuesday
afternoon for the Emporia game, and
the Apprentices will endeavor to get
into first class condition between now
and then. Captain Peterson and Man
ager johnson both believe they have a
team this year that can give a good
account of itself against any other
team in the state, and they expect to
open the season with a classy demon
stration of their wares.
Before the Emporia game was ar
ranged, plans had been made to have
the Apprentices play the Santa Fe
Athletics at the local park. However,
as soon as it was announced that the
first team would be out of town, Man
ager Cook of the Athletics made ar
engagements for his team to meet the
Santa Fe Freight Car Builders, and
this game will be played at the Santa
Fe park, Sunday, starting promptly at
3 o'clock.
Those of the Apprentice team who
saw the Emporians play the Western
leaguers here last Saturday and Sun
day are very optimistic over the pros
poets of plucking a first of season VIC
tory Sunday, and they are very likely
to make the Biddies hump themselves
to win.
