The Trickle
Our Soda is too good. It costs
too much to make it. But we
win after all; for although there's
less profit on PURE ICE, PURE
WATER, PURE FRT'IT FLA
VORS and the BEST ICE CREAM
we can get, than on inferior ma
terials, yet the QUALITY of our
Soda brings enough more thirsty
drinkers here to more than make
up for the too-small profit on
each glass. So It pays. Quality
always pays in the end. Put
your lips to our Soda! It's a
trickling sensation of sparKling
juicy bubbles.

Baseball Players Establish a
Strong Union
Representatires of the National
League Clubs Organize .
OFFICERS A SECRET.
Leaders Chosen But Their Iden
tity Not Disclosed.
Men Fear They Might. Be Made
Examples Of.
New York, June 12. Once there was
a brotherhood of baseball players. It
had its day and died. Now there is
another organization of ball playing
talent. Its day has just begun.
At the Sturtevant house, at a meet
ing of delegates from the eight clubs
comprising the National league, it was
decided to combine the young men who
bat and throw for a living into the
Protective Association of Baseball
Players.
Delegates were present from the
teams aR follows: ? .
New York Davis, Doyle and Mercer.
Brooklyn Keeler, Kelley and Jen
nings. Boston Duffy, Collins and Clarke.
Ph'iad.-lnhia Delehanty, , Donohue
and Murnhy.
Cincinnati Corcoran, Irwin and Phil
lips. Pittsburg Ziminer, Ely and O'Brien.
St. Louis Young, Heidrick and Bur
kett. Chicago Griffith and Callahan.
McOraw was prevented from attend
ing by reason of the injury 'he received
Saturday, and Ryan of Chicago, who
was to have been a delegate, visited
friends in Clinton, Mass.
Daniel Harris, the New York repre
sentative of Samuel .Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, ad
dressed the men as to what was nec
essary to become an affiliated body of
that organization and what they mig;ht
accomplish.
The players were in session five
hours, and decided not to ally them
selves to the American Federation at
present.
They assert they have no intention
of antagonizing the league club own
erf, and have organized merely for
self-protection. Eventually they ex
pect to Ret all minor league players
with them. They believe the game will
become more sportsmanlike and that
there will be less "spiking" of players
and less rough ball.
Officers were elected, but the play
ers absolutely refused to name them,
apparently being of opinion that they
might become shining marks Tor the
league club owners. The next meeting
will be held on the second or third trip
of the western clubs to the east.
K. U. FOOTBALL TEAM.
Some of the Probable Players of the
1000 Eleven.
Lawrence, Kas.,. June 12. Fay H.
Moulton, of Marion, Kas., is to man
are the football eleven next season,
and he is confident of having- as good
a team as K. U. sent out this year.
Manager Moulton has been quietly at
work for pome time on the team for
next year, but he is veiy reticent about
what he Is doinpr. In reprard to a coach
he thinks that Walter Winter, a gradu
ate of Yale in the class of '85, will prob
ably be the man selected. inter
coached the Minnesota university team
n '86. the year the Minnesotiansi de
feated the Kansans by a score of 12 to
0. Another man mentioned for the
dace is Johnny Outland, an old K. L
bov who hails from Minneapolis, Kas.
For two years he has played on tne
Pennsylvania team and won distinc
tion.
Amonc others whom Manager Moul
ton tried to secure to coach the Kan
sans are: Kennedy, who was captain
and Quarterback on the Chicago, uni
versity team last year, but he had made
other arrangements; Mortimer, who
played tackle on the same team, but he
bad nreviouslv aereed to coacn Colo
rado university team: Edwarus. who
was cantain and eniard on the Prince
ton team last year: Kicnaru&on, wno
played right half for Brown, and Mur
nhv. another hirown man.
The Kansar.s win prooaoiy suner tne
loss of five of their best players next
year. Smith and Woodward, the two
big guards, have played their last same
football. Tom Smith is now deputy
sheriff of Brown, county and has given
up his school work and Woodward has
also quit school, captain Avery was
graduated this year from the engineer
ing department and has a position
waiting for him. Wade Moore, who
was such a strong favorite both on the
gridiron and the diamond, has ac
rented a position in Joplin. and Tucker,
the other hair or tne y team, nas
moved to California, so that it is not
likely that he will be at K. U. next
year.
Wilcox -will captain tne tearri next
year and play tackle. Of the other last
year's men who will be back Nofsinger
and Algie will play ends. Meahan cen
ter or guard. Hess center or tacKie,
Owen quarter and Buzzi and Moulton
halts. Jenlcenson and uavin win aiso
be back and try for the team. Of the
new jner. who will figure in the make
up of the team Orwig, who did good
work on the scrub team last year,
stands a S"Od chance of making the
team. Orwig comes from Independence,
Kas., and is a new man in sch-x.l.
Hamsey ard Riggs, who played on the
Topeka high school team la?t .year, will
be at K. U. next year, as will also Mor
ton, a nephew of Meahan's, who will
try for tackle. Games have been ar
ranged with Nebraska, at Lincoln, No
vember 1&: Wisconsin, at Madison, Oc
tober 27, and others.
M'GOVERN AND WHITE
Will Meet at Coney Island This Tues
day Nighjb.
New York, June 12. Sporting men are
looking forward with a great deal of in
terest to the fight at the Coney Island
club, between Terry McGovern and
Tommy White of Chicago.
The boys met once before in Chicago,
and so evenly did they fight that the
referee declared the bout a draw.
On that occasion White surprised Mc
Govern by the wonderful showing he
made. His ability to take punishment
and land on McGovern surprised every
body. White who arrived from Chicago
a few days ago with his manager, Lou
Houseman, has been putting on the fin
ishing touches to bis preparation for the
"go" at Coney Jfcland. He is in fine
physical condition, hard as nails and
down to the requisite weight of 122
pounds, at which the boys will fight.
McGovern is also fit. He t.as been
training for the last two months. His
work indicates that he is just as strong
and clever as ever. That McGovern ex
peets White to make a hard fight is ev
idenced by his answer to a question put
to him. When asked how long he
thought the bout would last, he said:
'"I think it will go about 15 rounds.
White is a clever two-handed fighter,
and a very plucky fellow. He can take
a lot of punishment, and I will have to
land on him hard and often to secure
the decision, but I am sure I will put
him to sleep inside of 15 rounds."
Johnny White, who is associated with
Charley White, in refereeing boxing
contests held at the Broadway Athletic
club, has been selected as the referee
of the 25 round bout between Tom Shar
key and Gus Ruhlin, which takes place
at the Seaside Sporting club, on June 26.
DIXON VS. YANGEE.
Little Chocolate and Tipton Slasher
Have a Bout Tonight.
Chicago, June 12. There will be a
decision in the Dixon-Yangec go at Tat
tersall's tonight, according to a state
ment made yesterday by the manager
of Yanger, as well as by persons identi
fied with the Tattersail's club.
Followers of the "Slasher" are more
confident than ever that the little
Italian will get the decision, and this
in face of odds of 2 to 1 in favor of
Dixon at the time the "little chocolate"
struck the city. Down among the
South Water street merchants Yanger
has secured a following which threatens
to gobble up all the Dixon money in
sight. .
Some of the backers of Dixon dis
covered Saturday afternoon that there
was money to be had on the street de
voted to vegetables and chickens, ' but
this was covered so quickly that be
fore all the bets had been placed Benny
Yanger was the favorite. The bets
made were mostly in small amounts,
$50 to $40 being the largest wager re
corded. At the different resorts, however,
Dixon is still the favorite, but his back
ers refuse to go better than 4 to 5.
Yanger's condition is most reassuring
io nis menus, ana mere ate not a lew
among the old timers, even, who think
that the Italian stands a good show or
gaining the decision.
x anger s campaign when he gets into
the ring with Dixon has been mapped
out. "The Slasher" will go for the
body, and he will make a rushing fight
of it. As a matter of fact, 1 anger
knows very little about any other style
of fighting. He thinks by setting a hot
pace he is bound to get close to Dixon,
and that is all he wants.
DISOBEYED ORDERS.
Pete Clay Will Ride the Grand Ohio
Mare No More.
New York. June 12. P. Clay will not
ride the thunder cloud mare Imp again
in all his life. P. Clay, who became
known to fame though hi3 ability to sit
still and slumber and not wake up the
sleepy mare, has been discharged. It all
came about through the little black
imp's inability to know when he had a
good thing.
A day or two before the race in which
Jean Beraud sailed under the wire just
ahead of the amazing dusky apparition
from Chilicothe, Trainer Brossman had
P. Clay hoisted into the saddle for the
purpose of working out the racer for the
Beraud contest. He instructed the di
minutive jockey to ride her in certain
time and to watch closely for signals in
order to regulate the pace. P. Clay had
learned of a deal between Brossman and
Arthur Featherstone under which
Jockey O'Connor was to ride Imp when
ever Mr. Featherstone had no norse of
his own in the impending race. P. Clay
determined to get even with his employ
er then and there.
Over on the track P. Clay sent Imp
as fast as she had ever moved under
neath him, urging her at every stride
and paying not the slightest attention
to the frantically waving handkerchief,
which was intended to induce him to
slow up. Brossman at first thought
some mistake had been made and that
his prodigy was running away with her
rider. But the attitude of the jockey
as he bent over, sending Imp along at
the top of her speed, soon convinced him
to the contrary. Brossman gritted his
teeth a good deal during the rest of the
journey, and when the jockey, with a
grin of satisfaction, slipped out of the
saddle after it was over.he was prompt
ly fired. Thus it happens that Imp has
succumbed to Jean Beraud, for if she
had not received the gruelling bestowed
by P. Clay there might possibly have
been a different ending to Tuesday's
splendid contest between V. C. Whit
ney's noble horse and the Ohio mare.
. MICHAEL FAST AS EVER.
Midget Cyclist Issues a Challenge to
the World's Riders.
New Bedford, Mass.," June 12. Jimmy
Michael rode a five-mile exhibition and
left immeaiately for Manhattan beach,
where lie will take up his training
quarters. Michael went his first mile
in 1:81, the fastest ever made by an
N. C. A. rider, and. the faste3t ever
made behind the pace of a gasoline
jnotorcycle.
His second mile was in 1:36 2-5, the
third in 1:39 3-5. fourth in 1:43 and fifth
in 1:44; total time, 8:12.
Michael followed his machine as pret
tily as of old. He today issued a chal
lenge to the middle distance riders of
the world to a ride of a series of races
behind motor tandems, each man to
supply his own tandem, and the dis
tance not less than twenty miles nor
more than fifty miles. The only re
striction is the use of the regulation
pacing machine called for in the rules
of the National Cycyling association.
Two weeks after the acceptance of the
challenge he will race the first man
who responds on the track offering the
best inducements. Michael says he can
ride as fast, ir not faster, than ever be
fore.
WEAK WITH THE STICE
Chicago Club's Record at the Bat is
Very Poor.
Chicago, June 12. Batting records of
tne cmcagi) club to date show that
C larke Griffith, the anarchist, leads the
team in stick work, while Mertes. hav
ing played the whole season, is the real
leader, with a percentage of .33S to the
.StiO which Griffith has acquired. Ganzel,
the new first baseman, continues to hit
in a highly satisfactory fashion, but the
weakness of Bradley.Green, McCormick,
Clingman and Childs tells the story
of many beatings. The club average is
but .274 by far the lightest in the
league, -
Gar.zel Is the real fielding leader of
me oiuo. wnite the nelding figures of
the whole team are as unsatisfactory as
the batting. Menefee now ranks as the
ciud s leading pitcher.
National League Race.
Nothing has interested the farts who
have tried to keep track of the National
"so race during tne past week as
much as the wonderful gyrations of the
orphans. Boston was riven Its first
glimpse of Loftus' aggregation during the
wet., ana to tne Deaneaters the antics
of the rough riders have been in the na
ture or a circus. The climax came Fri
day, when Chicago secured three home
runs and three two-baggers, and still were
unable to beat the ex-champions, who got
omy six mis oi eananan. Boston re
mains where it has been all week in
sixth place. Chicago's only chance to win
seems to oe witn OriHith In the box.
The Orphans' visit to Boston lent
helping hand to Seiee's men, and the
Beaneaters are now in eood trim for the
rest. The strength of, Boston might best
be judged bv the set-to with St.. Louis,
reckoned as the strongest team in the
West, and touted for championship hon
ors. St.- Louis had a hard time while in
Boston, and left with its feathers badly
ruffled.
Chicago's visit to Brooklyn also proved
prori table to the bridegrooms. As hiis been
the case right along. Chicago's infield pre
sented the lost games to the Champions,
seemingly without' compunction and with
out regret. Loftus has now made a
change, and his new venture with Mc
Cormiek at third and Clingman back at
short will be watched with interest.
Philadelphia Is on the slide, due most
likely to Napoleon Ia Joie's absence from
second base. The Quakers haw found
even Cincinnati a hard nut to crack, and
the Pirates from Fitlsburg'.have- proved
quite unpalatable. Pittsburg, by the way,
is plugging right along, and St. Louis is
having fair luck. Brooklyn is keeping
out of tha way of Pittsburg, but that is
all.
"Across the bridge from the trolley dodg
ers, FreeOman's outfit keeps up its repu
tation. It has now quite a respectable
grip on last place, and there is small like
lihood that the pygmies will be dispos
sessed of the honor soon. Cincinnati is
making a brave effort to keep out of
harm's way, and has fairly succeeded.
American League Race.
Slight changes have marked the progress
in the American League race during the
past week. Chicago has profited the most,
while Cleveland, which started the week
in third place, hs found some rebuffs
while on the road. To the Wonderment of
the fans, lndiananolis is still setting a
furious pace, and. judging from the play
ing of. the Hoosiers, there is no abate
ment in sight. Milwaukee has made Her
culean efforts to stick to the leaders, and
a merry time has been the Brewers' lot.
Comiskey's White Stockings have im
proved wonderfully during the week, and
they seem to have at last struck a gait
that leads to pennants. Their playing,
however, has been raiher paradoxical.
Detroit's visit to Chicago for four games
should put the White Stockings in second
place in the pennant race. Detroit is still
loking up from below and has had a neck-and-neck
race with Buffalo. Kansas City
has not done as well an its home grounds
as it did on the road, and fifth and sixth
place has been, fought fur between Kan
sas City. Minneapolis and Cleveland. With
Minneapolis it has been noticeable that
Dr. Harley Parker, well known in Chi
cago, has done the best work in the box
for the millers' pitching staff.
Cincinnati Races Start.
Cincinnati, O., June 12. The second
meeting of the Latonia Jockey club
opened with fine weather and a good
crowd. Kleven books were In line. The
track was fast. Jockey Berman, while
going to the post on Lord Everle In the
first race, lost control of the horse and
was thrown over the rence at the six
furlong pole. His left leg was broken
and he was otherwise badly injured.
For the first time during the season the
judges had occasion to take action on
foul riding. In the fourth race Xanthos
cut off Nitrate and Problem and was
set back. Sakatuck did the same thing
to Fair Deceiver in the last race and
was the guilty party in both instances
wa sthe guilty party In both instances
and was set down for the balance o
the meeting for his poor Judgment,
Base Ball Gossip.
Manager Ewing has signed Pitcher Co
gan. recently released by Chicago.
Dr. Boger will try to secure some con
trivance to put on Lajoie's hand, so as to
enable Larry to play as soon as the
thumb bone knits.
New York may farm out Pitcher Si
Seymour to Worcester. Mass. His inabil
ity to control the ball is the cause of Sey
mour's downfall.
Manager Clarke, of Pittsburg, has gone
to Cresson, Pu., for his health. lit is
suffering from kidney trouble, and will
be unable to play for two weeks.
Jaclitsch, the former Canuck, who has
been with the Phillies all season, has been
farmed by Manager Shettsline to the Min
neapolis CIUD.
Laioie views the defeats from a bench
at the club house door.
Coean. the former Chicago nlaver. now

are together in Gothfun.
i ney are accusing rierr rsreitenstein in
the east of being as slow and deliberate
in his movements as Cuppy. He is said
to be nggravatingly slow this season.
Conny Mack has purchased the release
of Outfielder Tommy DoWd. His second
baseman, Henry Keitz. formerly of the
Baltimore and Pittsburg clubs, has de
serted the Milwaukee team play in the
California league.
James J. Corbctt has been secured to
make a tour of the Atlantic League cir
cuit, playing first base for the home team
in each city. His schedule is as follows:
At Wilkesbarre. June 12; at Scranton.
June 13: at Allentown, June 14: at Harris-
burg, June 19; at Reading, June 20.
Yellow Tail Stale.
St. Louis, Mo., June 12 Five favorites
and one well played second choice
scored at the fair grounds. The defeat
of Yellow Tail by Hi Nocker, in the
third race was the most striking feature
of the card. Hi Nocker, with light
weight up just romped away from Yel
low Tail, who seems stale just now and
staggered home a poor fourth, under
the 120 pounds impost.

Growth of Business at Wichita
Stock Yards
Shows a Remarkable Increase
In Past Year.
RECEIPTS DOUBLED.
The Bodies of Two Respected
Emporia Women
Arriye on Same Train Mrs.
Jarjuith and Mrs. Parrington.
Wichita, June 12. The growth of bus
iness at the Wichita Union stock yards
is little less than marvelous. The reports
of the joint freight agent at the yards
show that the business has doubled in
the past year.
Last month 621 cars or live stock were
received at the yards while a year ago
the receipts amounted to 262 .cars. The
total number of cars handled last month
was 1,278, while last year there were
handled in the yards but 5GS, showmg
an increase of business of 710 cars.
The receipts of the yards are increas
ing steadily and there is every indica
tion that the yards will assume before
long the place of importance to which
it has always been destined.
There always, has been a good hog-
market, but practically no market for
cattle. The proposed establishment of
a feeder and stock market means much
for the yards. When cattlemen know
they can sell all kinds of stock at a
point they prefer to stop there and not
to patronize a point where the demand
is limited. This is shown daily by the
fact that persons having mixed loads
of hogs and cattle generally go through
to Kansas city.
bam btewart who intends to open up
a came commission at the yards in a
few weeks, says that he is satisfied that
Wichita will before Jong be the feeder
and stacker market for the southwest.
its location is right and from now on
the banks will float all the Daoer the
stockmen can present.
THE HARVEST IS ON.
Southern
Kansas Hums With
the
Sound of the Thresher.
Independence. Kas.. J une 12. Whpflr
harvest in southern Kansas and the
northern part of the Indian territory
is now on in full blast. Nearly one-
half of the wheat has been cut and the
rest will be cut and shocked by the
last of this week. The grain is ner-
reciiy ripe ana tne farmers are cutting
night and day to get it all cut nnii
shocked before any wet weather come.
In one wheat field of 1,000 acres in the
territory south of here there are six
teen harvesters at work. Harvest
hands are very scarce and there is a
great deal of wheat which has been
cut and left lying; on the ground be
cause of the scarcity of shockers.
Several threshing outfits started out
thir. morning and will begin threshing
at once. In Chautauqua county west
of here three threshing machines com
menced threshing new wheat today,
which is three weeks earlier than usual.
The quality of the wheat in tiiis sec
tion of the country is the finest ever
known, and the yield per acre will ex
ceed the average yield by from ten to
nftecn bushels. Most of the wheat in
this county and Chautauqua county
will average from 25 to 40 bushels per
acre.
The oats are beginning to ripen and
will bo ready to cut by the last of this
week. The quality of the oats is un
usually good and will yield more than
double the amount usually raised. The
prospect for a good corn croo was
never better than at present. It has all
been plowed for the last time and i3
from four to six feet high. If the corn
is not hurt by dry weather it will make
the largest crop ever raised in southern
Kansas.
HOME FOR BURIAL.
Bodies of Mrs. Parrington and Mrs.
Jaquith Returned to Emporia.
Emporia, June 12. The bodies of two
young women who grew up in Emporia
came in on Monday's train: Mary
Wright-Parrington and Margaret Nel-son-Jaquith.
No train has come into
Emporia with a sadder cargo for many
a year. The death of Mrs. Parrington
was announced Thursday; the death of
Mrs. Juquith occurred Sunday and
brought grief to hundreds of her friends
in this town, where she grew from girl-
nood to womanhood.
Mrs. Jaquith was born in Indenend-
ence, Kan., and moved with her parents,
Air. and Airs. J. M. Nelson to Emporia,

BROWN DID IT.
Coxey's Lieutenant Painted Signs in
Wichita.
Wichita, June 12. The show wagon
which made its winter quarters just
north of Casey & Gatst's on North
Market, has pulled out on the road
again. Many citizens have seen the old
wagon as it stood there, and many have
also read the sign painted on the sides,
which read, "Real scenes from the war
with Spain, and other scenes."
But very few people ever took the
trouble to closely examine the paint
ing on the sides of the wagon or they
would have noticed the name Carle
Browne of Coxey fame painted thereon.
The old gentleman who owned the
waaron was asked how Browne hap
pened to paint the signs and he replied
that Mr. Browne was in Wichita one
day and asked for the job of painting
it, and got it. Then he added:
T didn't tell him he could put his
picture on it, but he did, just the
same."
The picture referred to Is one Browne
drew representing himself with an
armv hat on his head. Browne is
something of an artist, but he has
never had any schooling.
