A BOOSTER CLUB
Return OF A. b. c. butcher
Means More Baseball "Pep."
Live Organization Planned to
Back Savages This Season.

Yesterday morning when the sun
peeped over the roof of the colored IN
dustrial school on East Sixth street,
the sky was as clear as Hehopla
checks after her last fatal bath. The
air was soft and caressinG, and the
hard water that has made the past
three weeks frigid trembled and trick
led into the earth to hide in shame.
These things in themselves were
enough to stir any sleeping soul to
realization that the first morning OF
spring was at hand. They were suffi-
cient to make even the sluggard wish
to get into the great outdoors and en-
10Y some of the sports and pleasures
that make life worth while.
But the full purport of all the timld
sensations that stirred the sportiVe
soul were not moulded into the con
crete until A. b. G. butcher, after his
first sweet sleep in Topeka, wended
his way down Kansas avenue, shaking
hands with his old friends and taking
baseball with every one whom he met;
Then it was that all knew the oaseudli
bug had awakened and been routed
from his alternating quarters 1or
good.
THE coming of the first day of spring
and the return of butcher to Iopeka
are to be made memorable IN locaL
baseball annals, if plans of number
Of savage fans materialize, because tne
inspiration furnished by the former
and the perspiration that the latter is
canabIe of furnishing are to give To-
,ei,a a real live baseball booster club.
The need of such a club has Deeh
felt here for some time. ana IL is
thought that an organization devoted
exclusively to boosting the gane-ah
organization in which all loyal rams
can be brought together--can do more
towards arousing interest ana getths
people into the ball park then any
thing else. such a club 10 given creulI
for having made Wichita the best pan
town in the Western league last sea
son. and it is thought that 1t can De
made to do the same thing for topeka
butcher to Head IL.
THAT butcher is the logical man to
work M interest in such an organlza-
ton and make it the livest club in To-
1,elxa seems to be the opinion of those
who originated the idea. and his com
ing back to Topeka at TINS time gives
him an opportunity to start the good
1-orl, inst when baseball enthusiasm
is beginning to burst into bud the
matter was taken up with him yester-
dav afternoon. and he stated that after
he gets settled he will be glad to CO
operate in any way he can.

A CRANK NAMED HARVEY.
A Vicious Attack Made on Kaw River
Dam Today.

Under the title, Don't Make Mis-
take" James NJ. Harvey has issued an
eight page circular opposing the dam
and scattered it among members of
the house. 1t sets forth that the land
through which the race way is to be
run is worth from $1,000 to $1,000 per
acre. In Auburndale it is worth $500
per lot; that it would spoil the asylum
grounds; the sun would shine on the
water and breed mosquitoes and
rniasma; that tramps would walk
along the banks of the race; that
muskrats would cut holes through the
embankment and flood the surround
ing country; that it would give re-
fractory lunatics a chance to drown
themselves: that S120 an acre is not
enough for such valua BILE land, ETC.

AS "HOME BREAKER" BY
ATTORNEY IN DIVORCE CASE

The divorce suit of A. J. Parker
vs.. Mrs. Nina E. Parker occupied
several days in the county court this
week and was concluded Thursday,
the jury deciding that Parker was
entitled to a divorce and in addition
he was awarded the custody of his
two children and was relieved of
alimony payments.
The case was bitterly fought and
sensational evidence was introduced.
1t was shown by number of wit
nesses that improper relations had
existed between the defendant and
correspondent, Carl B. Martinez, and
the evidence of eye witnesses dis
closed the truth of public gossip re-
garding the affair" which has been
carried on for some time.
Jas. p. Veerkamp was Mr.. Par
ker's attorney and Jesse Stephenson
defended the interests of Mrs. Par
