Baker University Enjoying Un
usual Prosperity.
A Large Sum Annually for In
stitution's Support.
HAS 1,000 ENROLLMENT
Tea State Methodists Prepared
to Give a Half Million.
School Well Endowed With Lab
oratories, Libraries, Etc.
Baldwin, Kan., Jan. 27. An interest
ing story came to the surface here to
day. Five years ago Baker university
seemed almost hopelessly In debt with
no immediate prospect but that it
would Increase. But the friends of the
institution rallied and the debt was
paid in ninety days. From that time
remarkable progress has been made.
The churches in the supporting terri
tory now regularly contribute for the
current expenses a sum equal to an en
downment of $300,000; over $150,000 has
been added in new equipment in labora
tories, libraries, museum, the gymnas
ium and astronomical laboratory, the
new church and the new library build
ing to be erected at once; the total an
nual enrollment of students has in
creased from about 500 to almost 1,000
this year.
Recently a vigorous campaign was
outlined, looking to the further equip
ment and endowment of the university
cflling for a half million dollars. As
there are 50,000 Methodists in the offi
cial territory of Baker it was deemed
not too much to expect that, by the
right sort of effort, each church could
be persuaded to give an average of $10
per member for the endowment of
Jiaker, now so firmly intrenched in the
affections of the people. Conference
with pastors and leading laymen
throughout eastern Kansas led the
officials to believe the plan feasible;
it was endorsed by the board of trus
tees and will come up for consideration
at the annual conference in March.
The campaign is to continue through
four years, culminating in 100S, the
fiftieth anniversary of this "First Col
lege in Kansas."
Hut now comes the most interesting
part of the story. When the camp ujm tor
debt paying was inaugurated t;vc yc.irs
ago assurances were given that, if the
people at laree would pay the debt, mon
ey would come from other sources for
further equipment and enlargement.
I'.nir generously this promise nas been
JiuHiUed is indicated by tiie above recital
of Baker's growth. It is now said that,
if tho people at large wiil contribute trie
half million cellars for endowment as
nbove outlined, there are ten Kansas
Methodists who propose to duplicate f.ie
frifts of the people, thus placing ;l mil
lion dollar endowment upon the institu
tion. It has been a favorite yi:tg if
President Murlin hat he would rvf.er
have So.'") people i;ive Bak3r an average
of $10 each than to have a few men give
a half million, but that he wou d much
F refer to have both methods pre vail for
Uiker's enrichment. These methods have
worked so successfully in the past live
years that it lends color to the story that
this is the policy outlined for the next
four years. The story is further believed
in that while President Murlin has little
to say about it. there is an air of happy
confidence in his manner when the sub
ject is mentioned in his presence.
Gorney and Rogers Bound Over.
Paola, Kan., Jan. 27 The preliminary

each.

Highland, Kan., Jan. 27. B. A.

trict, is dead at his home, one-half mile

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
A Controversy Over a Girl Who Was !
in an Industrial Home.
Iola, Kas Jan. 27. Legal steps were
taken here to prevent Sheriff Richard
son from taking Clara Skinner, a 18-year-old
girl, back to the girls' reform
school at Beloit. The sheriff had the
girl at the train when her lawyer se
cured her signature to a petition ask
ing a writ of habeas corpus. There was
a hurried telephoning for county offi
cers and the coroner to sprve the writ,
but In the meantime the sheriff left the
Missouri Pacific depot for the Santa Fe
depot. The girl s lawyer, ttunBng tney
had gone east on a street car to meet
the train, boarded the train with the
coroner and went to La Harpe. six
miles east of here, to find that he had
been given the slip. The two hurried
back on a car and reached the Santa
Fe depot just as the passenger train
went south with the sheriff and the girl
on board. The lawyer for the girl says
the sheriff exceeded his authority and
threatens to bring contempt proceed
ings against him.
An interesting feature of the case is
that the girl asserts she has finished her
term at Beloit. Transportation money
was sent for her return to her mother
here, but instead she was sent to Ot
tawa, where she was employed as a do
mestic. The girl disliked the work and
January 14 ran away and came here."
She also charges that an effort was
made to poison her mind against her
mother, but that the latter offers her
a good home and the privilege of at
tending school, which offor her step
father seconds. The girl's mother for
merly was Mrs. Mary E. Haven, of
Lawrence, and seems to be living now
with her third husband. The sheriff
could not be seen, but it is said he
says the girl was sent to the Allen
home only on parole and that she broke
it by running away and coming here.
Columbus Attorneys Exonerated.
Columbus, Kan., Jan. 27. The com
mittee appointed to investigate the con
duct of Attorneys C. A. McNeill and
Charles Stephens with reference to their
employment by parties charged with
violating the prohibitory liquor law, re
ported to the entire bar yesterday after
noon. Both gentlemen were exonerated.
The bar adopted the report of the com
mittee exonerating them. Their friends
are pleased at the outcome. Forty-one
members of the bar were present and
the matter was thoroughly gone over,
and the result is a complete vindication
of Messrs. McNeill and Stephens.
Masonic Home Committee Meets.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 27. The board of
directors of the State Masonic home is
in session here. Only routine work was
done the first day, but during the meet
ing the board will pass upon plans for
the proposed new building and decide
whether it shall be built during the
coming year. It is to cost $20,000. Plans
have been submitted by a Kansas City
architect. Among the Masons here are

low the stairs unable to gain an en
trance. The uniformed rank Knights of

CHIOOPEE MAN FROZEN.
Austrian Miner Wei Found la Middle
of the Street.
Pittsburg, Kan., Jan. 27. An Aus
trian miner named Joe Teotta was
frozen to death in the middle of the
main street of Chicopee, a Mount Car
mel company mining camp, two miles
south of this city. He was found this
morning about 7 o clock by an Italian
miner on his way to work.
When last seen alive Teotta -was in a
saloon owned by an Italian named
Valentine and he was much under the
influence of liquor. This was about
10:30 o'clock last night and he left the
place with the remark that he was go
ing home.
It is supposed he fell and was either
stunned and froze before he regained
consciousness or was too much under
the influence of liquor. In his mustache
was clotted blood.
Teotta was 45 years of age and was
a member of the Austrian society and
Imperial O. R. M. He is survived by a
widow and four children.
THE TOWN PAID AGENT'S FINE
A Railroad Threatened Not to Stop
Trains in Americus.
Emporia, Kan., Jan. 17. Americus,
eight miles northwest of here, had oc
casion this week to learn how import
ant a station agent is. Mr. Gunn, the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas agent -there
was arrested because he rolled his mail
cart on the sidewalk. He was fined in
police court and refused to pay his fine.
He wa.s put in jail. Gunn refused to
give up his keys to the depot and
Americus merchants had much trouble
because they could neither receive nor
ship freight. This state of affairs con
tinued for a time, when the railroad
officials informed Americus that the
town must release Gunn or trains
would cease stopping there. The busi
ness men immediately paid the fine and
Gunn was released.

Dr.Shoop's Rheumatic Curs
Costs Nothing If It Fails.
Any honest person who suffers from
rheumatism is welcome to this offer. For
years I searched everywhere to find a
specific for rheumatism. For nearly 20
years 1 worked to this end. At last, in
Germany, my search was rewarded. I
tound a costly cnemicai that dia not ois
appoint me as other rheumatic prescrip
tions had disappointed physicians every
where. I do not mean that Dr. Shoop'S Rheu
matic Cure can turn bony joints into fles.h
again. That is impossible. But it p ill.
drive from the blood the poison that
causes pain and swelling, and then that
is the end of rheumatism. I know this
so well that I will furnish for a full
month my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I
can not cure all cases within a month. It
would be unreasonable to expect that.
But most cases will yield within 30 days.
This trial treatment will convince you
that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure is a
power against rheumatism a" potent force
against disease that is irresistible.
My offer is made to convince you of my
faith. My faith is but the outcome of
experience of actual knowledge. I know
what it can do. And I know this so well
that I will furnisn my lemedy on trial.
Simply write me a postal for my book on
Rheumatism. I will then arrange with a
druggist in your vicinity so that you can
secure six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheu
matic Cure to make the test. You may
take t a full month on trial. If it suc
ceeds the cost to you is J5.50. If it fails
the loss is mine and mine alone. It will
be left entirely to you. I mean that ex
actly. I don't expect a penny from you.
Write me and I will send you the book.
Try my remedy a month. If it fails the
loss is mine.
Address Dr. Shoop, Box 9739, Racine,
Wis.
Mild cases not chronic are often cured
by one or two bottles. At all druggists.

Jockey Winnie O'Connor Twice
Meets Himself.
Little liider Tells Odd Story of
His Experiences.
IN REFLECTIVE MOOD.
Encountered by a Tout Bearing
the Self Same Name.
Wanted to Work Winnie to Bet
on the Races.
Lexington, Ky., Jan. 27. Winnie
O'Connor, who formerly piloted the
horse3 of A. Featherstone on the Metro
politan tracks, but who spent last sea
son in France as the premier jockey for
the stable of Baron Rothschild, is now in
the city, the guest of his former em
ployer, Julius Baeur, trainer for the
Featherstone stable. He fell into a
reminiscent mood while seated in the
cafe of the Phoenix hotel last night
with a party of friends and told of some
of his experiences while riding in this
country.
"I have been approached twice in my
life by a fellow who claimed to be
Jockey Winnie O'Connor," he said. "The
first time was when I happened in a
poolroom at Westchester in the sum
mer of 1902, during an enforced idleness
occasioned by a kick on the shin from
one of the horses in the Featherstone
barn. Being unable to ride I sauntered
into the room to see if I could figure out
how to make a stake, and as I glanced
up at the board containing the entries
a stranger pushed up against me. Look
ing over the entries for one of the races
I saw an old mount of mine which I
knew was a good one, and I offered the
casual suggestion to the stranger that
he had a good chance to win.
" 'Don't you believe it,' said the
stranger. 'He's a dog.'
" 'You might think so, but I don't,' I
replied.
" 'I ought to know something about
him, for I rode him.' replied the
stranger, with all the confidence of a
man telling the truth.
" 'What is vour name?' I asked, and
he replied with that same confidence
that he was 'Winnie O'Connor, the
jockey." Immediately I understood his
game, and that he had ficrured me out
as being a sucker ready to bite, and
was trying to tout me onto something
good which he had ud his sleeve, so 1
decided to see it out, and asked him
why he was not at the track that day.
He went on to explain that Trainer
Bauer was awav and that he had hurt
his leg by a horse falling on him. At
last I turned and faced him with the
remark that he had a lot of nerve, and
handing him one of my cards invited
him to call and see me. The fellow
sneaked out of the poolroom without
looking back.
"The next , time I met myself was
while I was riding at Bennings. I left
the track and boarded a car for Wash
ington in company with a friend. I
had scarcely taken my seat when my
friend nudged me and called my atten
tion to a little fellow sitting in the cor
ner, and giving me the wink said that
the boy was Winnie O'Connor, the
jockey.
1 saw what was up, and
realizing
that the boy had been passing himself
off as me. so I walked up to him, and
holding out my hand said, 'Hello, Win
nie, now are you .' He took my hand,
that he recognized me and had the con
ductor ston the car and let him off."
O'Connor will spend a month here,
the guest of Trainer Bauer, while the
latter is preparing the Featherstone
string for their campaign, and about
March 1 will return to France to ful
fill his contract with Baron Rothschild.
NEW ORLEANS TURF TALK.
Streett Leads Winning Owners and
Phillips the Jockeys,
New Orleans, La., Jan. 27. Through
the victory of Port Royal in the Cotton
selling" stakes on ftatnrrlav T)r Streett
, moVed to the head of the class in the
list of winning owners.
Streett has been something of a wiz
ard here. His horses have shown class
of which they had not been previously
suspected. Port Royal had started only
twice at the meeting and had won his
first start, but not in company like that
he met in this race. It seemed no great
stretching of odds to quote such a long
price as 25 to 1 against him, partic
ularly when Streett made no secret
of the fact that he expected little or
nothing from his horse in this race.
The race brought about the ratifica
tion of the peace treaty between Streett
and Charles Robbins, the father of the
jockey who was engaged to do the
stable riding here. When Streett sub
stituted Higgins for Robbins on the
occasion of Port Royal's first start,
Robbins senior declared war. It was
only after the most abject apologies
and promises never to offend in like
manner in the future that the elder
Robbins agreed to let his boy take up
his regular stable duties again.
Next to Streett, Sam Hildreth has
been the biggest winner of purses.
Close behind him is Charley Ellison.
H. Phillips still leads the jockeys in
the number of winning mounts. He
now has forty-one victories to his credit
and in his present form bids fair to
make his record better than that of
Fuller or Coburn, who were at the toD
of the list last year and the previous
year. W. Fisher is second on the list,
but Fisher has gone back to a great
degree from the form that marked his
work in the first days of the meeting.
He has twenty-eight winning mounts
to his credit. Robbins comes next with
twenty-five.
The new arrangement of employing
two regular starters on the eastern
tracks probably will create a vacancy
for another starter at the Memphis
meeting. It is now almost certain that
Fitzgerald will be called upon to take
up his work on the eastern tracks much
earlier than in former years. This win
prevent his officiating at Memphis.
Heretofore Cassidy, who will alternate
with Fitzgerald, has done all the work
at Bennings and Aqueduct.
William Murray, who has been rec
ommended by Fitzgerald, probably will
be appointed by the Memphis Jockey
club. Murray has had considerable
experience, and has already resigned
his position as assistant to Fitzgerald,
with the idea that he will be appointed
on one or more of the western tracks.
Cornell and Columbia Date Fixed.
Ithafca, N. Y., Jan. 27. The Cornell
and Columbia football teams will meet
this- year in New York city on Novem
ber 12. It is also understood the
Princeton team will this year come to
Ithaca October 29. Whether Cornell
will succeed in arranging a game with
Harvard is still a matter of doubt, the
management refuses to discuss the
matter. The undergraduates, however,
are eager to play Harvard in Cam
bridge this year and in Ithaca the fol
lowing year, thus alternating with
Princeton.
BARNEY MAY BE BLOWN AWAY
Johnson Reiterates in Cleveland His
Opinion of Drey fuss.
Cleveland, Jan. 7. Ban Johnson of
the American league will have no fur
ther business dealings with Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg
club and chairman of the schedule
committee of the National league. He
made this declaration at a conference
with Chartes W. Somers, vice president
of the American league and the news
paper men at the Hollenden.
"I will never have anything to do
with Dreyfuss. He is too light for
his position, and believes himself in a
class by himself. Before he can talk
baseball to me agafci he will have to
carry some weight or he is likely to be
blown away. Before there is anything
more done on the schedule question
between the American and National
league, the latter will have to send
others besides Dreyfuss or we will
never come to an agreement.
"Why should we allow the National
league to open the season in New
York?. Did we not give in to them last
year, allow them the opening dates
and the Decoration day holiday? Now
it ts only fair that we get the opening
dates and Decoration day. . Of course,
we will stand by the dates we have
scheduled for New York, and if the Na
tional league wants to avoid conflicting
dates they must allow them to us.
'Of course the National league would
like to have the opening dates as be
fore, but it is only fair that we get
them. Still, I will not talk business
until I have seen the other members
of the National league schedule com
mittee. Dreyfuss tried to boss me, but
hereafter he will have to do business
with his own men.
"He predicted the downfall of the
American league beginning in 1905, but
Just let me tell you the National
league has nothing to say, for we have
had them whipped and allowed them
to stay in the race. If there is any or
ganization that needs protection it is
the National, and all this talk about
there being war is bosh. There will be
no war, for the National league is not
in a position to declare one. We have
asked for the opening dates in New
York. We have earned them as the
Nationals had them last year."
FOR A CONSOLIDATION.
Four American Association Teams
Said to Have Signed an Agreement.
Alilwaukee, Jan. 27. The Daily News
says: Baseball sensations are always
expected.but one action carried through
at the meeting of American Association
magnates in Chicago will fall like a
bomb in American association, western
league and eastern league cities.
Charter members of the American as
sociation signed an agreement, it is
officially announced, which was un
known even to President Grillo until
an hour after it was signed. The points
of the agreement are as follows:
The five charter clubs In the associa
tion agree to remain in the organiza
tion during the life of the franchises.
Four association teams will not con
solidate with four eastern leagues
clubs.
Four association teams will not con
solidate with four western league
clubs.
A new eastern league is out of the
question.
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City
and Milwaukee will not be dropped
from the American association for at
least eight years.
The signers of the agreement are
Milwaukee, St. Paul, Louisville, In
dianapolis and Kansas City.
Copies of the agreement are in the
hands only of Dale Gear of Kansas
City and George Lennon of St. Paul.
No more important news in Ameri
can association or western league base
ball circles has been placed before the
baseball public in years. This is the
third year in the life of the American
association and for IS months there has
been a fear of disruption, which, how
ever, the present action dispels.

"I am sure I need not say how entire
ly I sympathize with the movement
that you are championing for better
means of communication. The road is
the symbol of civilization. Take our
great province of Alaska I doubt if
there is anything more needed for the
development of Alaska on permanent
lines than the buildins up of a proper
system of roads, and where it is impos
sible to make wagon roads, trails in
Alaska. Throughout our country our
citizens will have to turn their energies
to improving the means of intercourse
that is, the roads between commun

civilized people and we can not afford
to have barbaric methods of communi
cation." A resolution offered by Jefferson

ment and the exposition was adopted.
An invitation was extended for the

to be held in Portland, Ore., in 1905.
