NO EURLINGAME AVENUE !
Street Naming System Will Not Be
Changed.
The city council struck a live wire
when they suggested that the streets
In the south part of the city have new
names and new limits. Last night a
"riot call" was sent to the residents
living in the vicinity of Central Park
and under the sheltering eaves of the
Central Park Christian church about
fifty men brandished their weapons
and planned their battle formation.
The main protest was against the ac
tion of the council in giving "Burlin
game avenue" to the street in ques
tion and at the next meeting of the
council the residents will petition the
council to listen to their wishes before
they continue on their street christ
ening crusade. The grounds on which
the residents will fight are based on
the following motion adopted last
night without a nay vote:
"That this meeting favors the exten
sion of Buchanan street to Central
park avenue and thence south over
what is now Lincoln street to the
south city limits as Buchanan street
and the extension of Clay street over
what is now Buchanan street from
Central park to the south city limits."
Two members of the city council
street naming committee were present
E. F. Stanley and W. G. Tandy.
They took an active part in the meet
ing and said that if the residents of
these streets desired a change in name
and did not favor the suggestions of
the city council all they had to do was
to circulate a petition showing that
their ideas conformed with the Ideas
of a majority of the citizens in this
district and th council would accede
to their wishes. The meeting decided
to send out a petition at once and it
will be presented at the committee
meeting of the council some time next
week. This meeting was scheduled to
come off tonight but the councilmen
present announced that it would be
postponed for the benefit of the resi
dent.'. '
When the names of Central Park
avenue from Sixteenth to Seventeenth
street and Lincoln street from Sev
ententh street to the city limits are
changed to Buchanan street and when
Buchanan street from Sixteenth street
(south end of Central Park) to the
city limits Is changed to Clay street it
mearis that Clay street proper from
Sixteenth street to the south city lim
its will be without a n.ime. The meet
ing last night suggested that this be
called Central Park avenue and to
those attending the meeting this name
Founded as good as any. But a final
motion resolved to leave the matter to
the residents on this street and if they
want to name It after Napoleon or
even Joe Cannon they are free to do It.
The "Burlingame avenue" proposi
tion suggested by the council was
downed for good. The people on this
street say that it sounds too much like
"Burlingame road" and they have a
horror of living i nthe "rubarbs." No
country life for them when the street
earn and pavements run past their
door. The meeting resulted in a final
settlement of the street naming trou
ble and when the residents attend the
next meeting of the council committee
and receive official recognition they
can change their addresses and live
happily ever afterward.

FOR STATE LEAGUE.
Projects Started at Newton for 8-Club
Organization.
Newton, Kan., Nov. 28. An enthu
siastic meeting was held here yester
day morning for the purpose of tak
ing preliminary steps towards the for
mation of a Kansas State Baseball
league for the season of 1909,-and if
the plans of . the faithful ones . go
through as per schedule there will be
a state league formed that will be but
a grade lower than the Western as
sociation. - ' -
It Is the idea of the patrons of the
game here to organize an eight or ten
town league and communications have
been sent to the following cities to ob
tain an expression of opinions as to
their willingness to become members
of such a league: Atchison, Leaven
worth, Ottawa, Emporia. Junction
City, Manhattan, Abilene, Salina,
Hutchinson, Winfield and Arkansas
City, which, with Newton, makes a to
tal of twelve towns, although it is not
probable that more than ten of the
above towns would be formed into a
league, even though the entire twelve
should desire admittance.
Hutchinson, having dropped out of
the Western association,' is anxious to
come Into .such a league as this . Em
poria has been dishing out baseball
dope for a couple of years and has fin
ally succeeded in arousing the sports
to the point where they are anxious to
take up the matter. Ottawa has the
microbes of the disease lurking around
in that vicinity, as also has Abilene.
Salina had a taste of the real thing
last year and wants a repetition of the
dose next season. Arkansas City has
always been a good ball town and will
undoubtedly want to get Into a league,
while it is known that the other towns
mentioned have enough sports to back
teams in their respective localities.
It is the Intention, as soon as re
plies are received to the letters sent
out. to call a meeting here, having a
representative from each town present,
and take definite action in the way of
forming a Kansas State league.
Newton expects to form a stock
company and obtain a charter under
the laws of the state of Kansas. She
is going into the baseball business in
earnest, for her experience last year
has whetted the appetites, so to speak
of the patrons of the great national
game and nothing will suffice now but
the best that is to be had.
KLECTKIC CHAIR GOT HIM.
W. B. rsrasoh Killed His Wife More
Than Two Years Aso..
Auburn. N. Y., Nov. 28. William
Robert Brasch, the Rochester wife mur
derer, in whose case Governor Hughes
refused to interfere, was electrocuted in
Auburn prison today.
The crime for which Brasch was ex
ecuted was the murder of his wife,
Roxanna. whom he pushed into the
Erie canal at Rochester on the night
of June 15. 1906. He killed her that he
might marry May Gilmore of Defiance,
O. He was arrested in Cleveland five
days later and taken to Rochester. On
December 26, 1906. he was sentenced to
die in the electric chair during the
week of February 10. 1907. On appeal
the conviction was affirmed on October
8. 1908. and the week of November 23,
fixed for the death sentence. Warden
Benham issued invitations for Monday
but the execution was postponed to hear
from a special commission named by
the governor to Inquire into Brasch's
mental condition. The commission saw
Brasch Saturday and Sunday and then
reported to the governor that the man
was sane. On Tuesday the governor
denied the application for a stay and
the execution was set for this morning.
MAN STRONGER THAN HORSE
Richard Crokcr So Declared After
Witnessing Marathon Race.
New York. Nov. 2 8. Human en
durance, as shown in the professional
Marathon race at Madison Square
garden on Wednesday night, when
Dorando, the Italian, defeated John
J. Hayes of this city, is greater than
that of the horse, according to Rich
ard Croker, former chief of Tam
many hall. Commenting on the race,
Mr. Croker said:
"Those boys furnished the greatest
exhibition of running that I have
ever witnessed. When you come to
think of it, that record was a merit
orious one. No horse that I know of
could run twenty-six miles at an aver
age rate of a mile in six minutes for
the entire distance. It would kill
him. But those boys did It without
great distress "
Shot Mother and Brother.
New York, Nov. 28. With aim so
deadly that all five shots he fired took
effect, Wm. Ka'.lebrun of Jersey City
shot and killed his brother Leo, and
then his aged mother, Mrs. Victoria
Kanebrun, three bullets were fired
into the body of the murderer's broth
er and two Into his mother's. ' The
tragedy took place in the aoartment
of Mrs. Kallebrun in this city. Kalle
brun had come from Jersey City with
a friend Albert Trogunwyes, to secure
money fro mhis brother Leo and the
shooting resulted from the fact that
Leo would not give them money.

New York. Nov. 28. Bradstreets says:
Wholesale trade, crop and industrial
developments are generally in the direc
tion of improvement. There is less idle
machinery and the tone of affairs gen
erally is still cheerful but there are
numerous irregularities noted in condi
tions in different sections and indus
tries. The situation as a whole, there
fore lacks some of the uniformity which
characterized it some time ago. More
optimism and strength Is exhibited in
the leading lines of domestic manufac
ture and wholesale trade, particularly
as to me outlook for next year, and
manufacturers are buving more freely
of most raw materials while wholesalers
report evidences of scarcity in many
lines, especially cotton goods, for spring
and later delivery next year.
in retail trade there is a good deal
of irregularity though the advent of
rains and snows followed by colder
weather helped to improve conditions as
the week advanced. Southern trade,
however, was rather dull throughout
due to warm weather and the low price
of cotton and even In parts of the west
as wen as the entire eastern hair or
the country retail buying might be
better. In some lines of trade, especial
ly Iron and steel, there Is a disposition
to regard tariff discussion as a bar to
fullest activity. Collections are better
at the south and money is in better
demand for business purposes. Higher
prices for leather, a turn in the tide of
shoe shipments, predications Of .freer
buying of railway materials of iron and
steel and higher prices with smaller
sales of raw wool are leading incidents
of the week.

CHICAGO'S MILK
ORDINANCE
Sweeping Requirements Passed
By City-Council.
PASTEURIZATION
NOW C0MPULSARY
Demands for Tuberculin Test So
Harsh Makes Pasteurization
,j Almost Imperative.
The day of pure food laws, and the
enforcement of pure food laws is at
hand. Nearly every city in the. land ia
passing stringent pure food regulations.
Nearly all cities of any importance are
establishing separate offices for the var
ious duties of pure food inspectors and
weights, and measures regulations.
Such widespread agitation upon the
purity .of what we eat, while sometimes
somewhat radical is, it " appears, not
witnout some deep underlying cause. '
Milk is probably the' most common ar
ticle of ordinary diet, and it is upon
this commodity that the great bulk of
the reform laws are directed. Scien
tists, it seems, ' have proven beyond a
doubt that the animal tuberculin can
and is, transmitted from the cow to
man.
At any rate, too much precaution can
not be taken to prevent the spread of
this terrible and dreaded disease, and
it only by constant and co-operated ef
fort that It will eventually be stamped
out. The increase of victims claimed
each year, by this death dealing
scourge, is reaching alarming propor
tions. Each year's death rate statis
tics, shows an ever increasing number,
due to "the white plague."
The only practical way to effectually
deal with the disease, recommended by
science, is to establish colonies for
those already in its clutches, and the
exclusive use of pasteurized milk by
those who have escaped the germs.
The process of pasteurization, almost
wholly eliminates the bacteria germs,
and yet does not detract any of the
natural nutriment from the milk. Milk
which has passed through this process,
is said to be almost free from sediment
and bacteria germs. This fact was
proven by the Kansas state university
at Lawrence, early in the fall. The
amount of germs in the raw milk var
ies with the approach of colder weath
er, when they decrease in number and
the number contained in milk also be
comes less in proportion, after having
passed the pasteurization process.
Figures of a more recent test given
out by the Topeka Pure Milk company,
show that milk which had passed the
pasteurization process in their plant,
only a few weeks ago, to contain only
about 5,000 bacteria germs. This it will
be readily seen, is an extremely small
amount, when compared with sixty
eight million, seven hundred and four
thousand. Topeka people who use this
milk should consider themselves excep
tionally fortunate, that such a high
standard of purity, in milk is avail
able. Probably the most radical, and sweep
ing ordinance In the country, in regard
to pure milk regulations, has but re
cently been passed by the city council
of Chicago. . It requires that all milk.
butter, 'or milk products of any nature,
must have passed the pasteurization
process. The only alternative, it offers
the milkman, dairyman, or small
creamery concern, is for the milk to
have been taken from cows which have
passed a strict and difficult examina
tion. So harsh are the requirements
that must be met. it is almost impossi
ble to conform with them. This will
practically necessitate the pasteuriza
tion all milk or milk products, to be
used in Chicago hereafter.
By such pure food regulations, pure
milk laws and a constant fight on the
part of science, tuberculosis will with
out doubt, finally be conquered, but it
will not be without cleanly living, and
an ever constant fight upon the source
of Its cause by the people as a whole.
TODAY'S MARKET KE FORTS
Chicago. Nov. 28. WHEAT Decreased

strength in the local wheat market to
