Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 1 The transfer of the old United States peni tentiary, within the garrison proper in Fort Leavenworth, to the military au thorities probably will be February 1. Is was planned to hove the formal transfer January L " TThpTIn ited States penitentiary officiate".! that it will crowd them closely-to make the change in another month. So far the only progress towards effecting the transfer has been the appointment of -Major R. W. McClaughry to reprerent the de partment of justice, and Major G. S. Young to represent the war department, to arrange to invoice and agree upon a division of property and to recommend plans for the transfer.. Major Mc Claughry is warden of the United States penitentiary, and Major Young will be commandant of the new military prison. In addition to this the war department has designated General Bell. General Ainsworth and General Davis as the three commissioners to represent the military as prison directors. The two civilian commissioners, of whom it is likely Major McClaughry will be one, will be named later. The delay in making the transfer is due to the fact. that the kitchen at the new United States penitentiary is not ready. All other arrangements for the transfer are practically completed at the new civil penitentiary. Another reason for the delay is that there is no provis ion for organizing an official force in the new prison. It is expected that when the change Is finally made that from 2'X) to 300 long term general prisoners confined iii , gruard houses will be brought in. It is doubtful if any prisoners now in the United States penitentiary will be trans ferred. A force of more than 500 pris oners will be in confinement within a year. The old military prison was abandoned July 1, 1S95. A bill passed congress to abandon it in order to change to a civil penitentiary. There were fr,0 prisoners in confinement. They were all pardoned out w ithin a period of five months. An Ellsworth House Party. Ellsworth, Kan.. Jan. 1. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo F.

Manager Collins Opens Negotia tions With Connie. CONFER AT BUFFALO. Chances Are That JKube Will Change His Residence. Ban Johnson Names a List of His New Umpires. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 1. After a lengthy conference here between Capt. Jimmy Collins of the Boston Ameri cans, Connie Mack of Philadelphia, and President Ban Johnson it became known that Collins was anxious to se cure the service of eccentric Rube Waddell, and further, it may be said the prospects of Waddell playing with Boston are bright. The conference was arranged at short notice. President Johnson and Mack left Chicago for Philadelphia Saturday. They wired Capt. Collins, who met them on their arrival here. President Johnson said: "I did not take much of a part, in the conference. I left it all to Jimmie and Connie. I will say, though, I be lieve Pat Powers will be re-elected president of the National Association of Baseball clubs. ; " ' "I have selected the 'following 'men to umpire for me during 1906: .

It is probable that a bigger aggregation of football stars was never before arrayed against each other in the west. The fame of the old La Harpe team is well known. Under skillful coach ing an almost invincible team was or ganized which defeated every team the year it . was organized, including the Haskell Indians. Some very strong .players were developed, in cluding such men as Donald, .the new, captain of the Kansas university team for the coming year, who made such a sensational showing in the Kansas-Missouri game Thanksgiving day, and who will be in the La Harpe lineup in the contest today. Another star player on the La Harpe team will be DeSaulles, the well known all-American quarter back, who will play at his old place. Another star of the same magnitude who. will probably play is Campbell, who was end on the ail-American team for three years. In addition to these players, several of the best players of the Iola high school team, which won the state championship this year, will be in the game with. La.Harpe, includ ing Atchison, fullback, and Allen, . end man, two young players of great prom ise. The Chanute team has claimed the AFTER DIGESTION WHAT?

His name has not been detained ou trivial charges in or been detained one trivial charges in or der that they may be investigated. When daylight dawned on- the scene of the tragedy it was found that the dynamite had been exploded by pulling a wire. Pieces of wire and waxed fish line were found in the trees on -the lawn. Further, it is believed that two bombs were used, to make certain of carrying out the purpose of the assas-. sination. They seem to have been to gether. Both were pulled at once. The -explosive was placed against the post against which the gate closed. It was on the inside of the fence. That post was on the victim's left as he en tered, but the force of the . explosion struck him on the right, showing that he turned partly in closing the gate. Had the mine been set to go off from the movement of the gate, the explo sion would have occurred as he went in. Shoshone county has offered a reward of $10.0000 for the capture of the mur derers and has sent its sheriff to assist in the search. It was in that county, in the northern end of the state, that the Coeur d'Alene riots occurred in 1S0!. It is probable the funerp' will be in the capital. The body probably will lie in state in the capitol building. MM-; DAYS WITHOUT WATER, Sixteen Year Old Stowaway Found in Pitiable Condition. ' Galveston, Tex., Jan. 1.
