ment Of Madison Square Garden was
cleared up yesterday. II was learned
mat failure to pay certain money due on

Meantime Moha and weincrt. who
were innocent victims of the dispute
within the Garden. have asked for re-

Formal complaint was lodged with the
boxing commission yesterday by the
managers OF Moha and Weincrt. The
boxers ask that the club he compelled e.
stage their bout before any other. and
also that each boxer be allowed to col
lect $3.50 In addition to what their con-

LODGING HOUSE FOR GIRLS.
Gray County Makes Provision For Stu
dents of High School.

Cimarron. Kan, Aug. 24.-PIaster-
ers will soon be putting the finishing
touches to the girls dormitory which
is beginning to loom up Just north
and west ct the high school building.
When completed and equipped, it will
be probably the only one of its kind in
Kansas, if not in the United States.
The need of something of the kind
has been felt ever since girls have
come to the Gray county high school
from a distance.
The building complete, will cost
about $4,000. 1t has a full basement,
two stories and a large roomy attic
that can later be finished off if
needed. On the first floor there will
be a large hall. a reception room, a
dining room on the cafeteria plan,
and room for the teachers, who will
act as chaperons and help take care
of the girls. On the second floor are
the rooms for the girls, ten of them
and large enough to accommodate two
girls to each room nicely.

ARE GOING SOUTH
Four Boys From RefOrmatOry
Seen Near Wellington.
First Stolen Car
and Swiped Another.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 24.-1n-
formation received at the reformatory
indicates that the four inmates who
escaped from the hay field in the sand
hills last week, stealing motor car,
are somewhere in southern Kansas or
possibly northern Oklahoma by now.
According to a message received by
Parole Officer M E. Jolliffe from
Sheriff John Favor, of Sumner county,
Ralph Lee, one of the escapes, was
recognized by a man who knew him.
Lee and his cousin were sent up
from Sumner county for stealing a
carload of cattle. The cousin was pa
rolled last month, but Ralph Lee was
held because he had not made the
school grades. He would have been
eligible next month. Ralph Lee and
another young man, supposed to be
one of the escapes, was seen about two
miles east of Milan, his old home, ac-
cording to the information. Milan is
about fourteen miles west of yelling
ton.
Looted Farmers House.
The two escapes broke into a farm
house in that neighborhood, stealing
some rings a watch, a revolver and
about SO in money. They also took a
hat, which one of the boys kept, dis
car01ng MS own, winch was found
with an abandoned motor car which
they stole.
About 1 o'clock Sunday morning
Andy Banks was attracted by two
young men running into his front
yard. He asked them what they want
ed and they told him they were look
ing for some water for their car. He
offered to get them a bucket, but they
said they could use their hats.
About this time a car running at
high rate of speed hove into sight,
and the young men started running
Evidently they feared it was pursuing
them. The Ford motor car was aban-
doned and was later identified as the
one that had been stolen from Bob
Beheimer, a farmer living near We'll
lington. Later the two escapes joined
two other men in Ford, and they are
believed to have been the other two
escapes. A coat and hat were left with
the abandoned car.

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like to
of healthy stay there fat should try, eat
ing a little Sargol with their meals for
while and note results. Here is a good
test worth trying. First weigh yourself
and measure yourself. Then take Sargol-
one tablet with every meal-for two
weeks. Then weigh and measure again. 1t
isn't question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell their
own story, and many thin men and women
we believe can easily add from five to
eight pounds in the first fourteen days by
following this simple direction. And best
of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food, 1t aims to turn the
fats, sugars and starches Of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepare it in and easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept Much
of this nouriShment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol works to stop
the waste and do it quickly and to make
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be-
tween your skin and bones. Sargol is safe,
pleasant efficient and inexpensive. Arnold
Drug Co. and other leading druggists in
this vicinity sell it in large boxes-forty
tablets to a package-on guarantee of
weight increase or money back as found in
each large Observation-Disclosures

Wheat in Growers Hands.-It is es-
timated that about Sd million bushels,
or 60 per cent. of this years wheat
crop, is still in the hands of the grow
ers, and that IS per cent. of the total
output has been threshed, under con-
ditions exceptionally favorable for
clean separation of the grain from the
straw.
Fall Preparations.-Only about 20
per cent. of blowing for fall crops
has been done, but it is the opinion of
correspondents that in the western
two-thirds of the state, covering COM
pletely the so-called wheat belt
land where corn failed will be largely
sown to wheat, summer fallowed, and
under favorable conditions of mois-
ture, should make IN ideal seed-bed.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 24.-w.
A. Hamilton, arrested at DeSoto, Kan,
was released from the Wyandotte
county Jail here after Miss Luzon
koppenhaver, a 17-year-old girl, who
had been missing from her home in
Argentine since Monday, returned
there. Miss Koppenhaver's story of
her wanderings, as told to her parents
and the police, conceded in its main
points with that told by Hamilton.
Hamilton told the officers that he
had invited Miss Koppenhaver to ride
with him in his motor car when they
met in Turner, Kan. Later they drove
to DeSoto, where the car was aban-
doned on account of rain, and that
they came to Kansas City, Mo-, on a
train. He said he had left the girl as
she was about to take a trolley car for
her home.

Then THEY'LL KNOW
Secretaries of State to Hold Conven-

Secretaries of state will wait until
after the November election before
holding their annual convention in
Topeka. That was the announcement
today by J. T. Botkin, secretary of
state for Kansas, who is planning a
big meeting for the state officials
when they come to Topeka next fall.
Original plans for the meeting
would have brought the secretaries of
state to Topeka September 1S-19-2o.
The change in dates will permit the
officials to devote their time to the
campaign and will bring a number of
the older and newly elected officials
to the meeting. Botkin stated today
that the meeting would probably be
held late in November.
THE date was changed to accom-
modate number of officials who will
be active in the campaign said Bot
kin. I'VE will meet some time in No

dates will mean a bigger and better

August "a. 1891.
The baptism of the Woodwork converts
was witnessed by thousands yesterday.
By ) O'Clock there were between four
thousand and five thousand people on the
ground. At the tent there was a short
meeting, after which Mrs. Woodwork led
the converts to the place of baptism, some
one hundred yards up the river: The
place selected was a little indented place
with a little knoll rising ten or twelve
feet above. A big flalboat was anchored
at the head of the little bay and pianks
were laid across from the bank to the flat
boat, making a complete triangle. Here
the converts were immersed. Mrs Wood
worth stood on the bank and handed them
down one at time and Elder Bolton per-
formed the ceremony. He made rapid
work Of 1t, keeping two of them in the
water at once, waiting their turn Some
went into the water with their arms out
stretched, shouting and singing. Others
went down smilingly and silently They
came up blowing the water from their
mouths or clapping their hands and shout
ing, Praise the Lordi'' Then the nine
ty-one converts went back to the tent,
where they heard some instruction from
should conduct himself. Hardly a third of
the crowd was able to see the baptism.
