HENRY C.
QUITC JpiCA;
Tommy Burns "Writes That He
Will Stay In Australia.
Pays a Glowing Tribute to Land
of Southern Cross.
HE LIKES THE PEOPLE
His Coining Fight With Jack
Johnson His Last.
Wife Successfully Pleads
Him to Quit the Ring.
for
San Francisco. Dec. 4. According to
a letter received by Larry Keating of
Oakland, a brother-in-law or Tommy
Burns, America has Been the last of the
Caribou champion. In writing to Keat
ing, Burns pays a glowing tribute to
the land of the southern cross, and
eays he will make it his home.
"I don't think I will ever go back to
America, writes Burns, "and if I do
It will only be for a visit. Thi3 coun
try has Improved my wife's health, and
I think I will settle here. I am In
right from the governor general down,
and the people of this country are the
grandest sports in the world."
Burns Is hunting at Kosciusko, a
mountainous country about 400 miles
from Sydney. In his party are his
wife, his sparring partner, Pat O'Keefe.
and Promoter Mcintosh, who arranged
the Johnson-Burns fight. Burns says
Mcintosh has plenty of money and that
he will make the fight pay.
"Johnson doesn't need to worry,"
says Tommy, "for the purse money Is
up In the office of the Sydney referee
and Is safe. Jack is getting $5,000 for
his end, win or lose, and $600 for his
end of the .moving pictures. He also
gets three round trip tickets from Lon
don." It seems likely that Burns will quit
the ring without giving any of the
American heavies except Johnson, a
whack at him. Perhaps Tommy feels
that he would not prosper in this coun
try, and as he has plenty of money
now It is a good time for him to re
linquish his title. Says Burns:
"This is the last fight I will ever
make, and win or lose with Johnson I
will retire. My wife has pleaded with
me to do tWs, and I am going to grant
her wish. I will never fight again af
ter the Johnson fight, and that goes.
I feel that I ought to stop anyhow
while I am young and full of vim. I
Intend to go In business here after the;
big fight, if I' can see a good open
ing, and there are plenty -of'- them
here. I have enough money to keep
us the rest of our lives, and that is all
1 want."
P. Moore, who filed a bill in equity
against Barney Dreyfuss and the other
directors of the Pittsburg ball club to
restrain them from - proceeding with
the purchase of the property on which
they allege they will build a ball park,
discussed his quarrel with Dreyfuss
and others.
"My protest is against the use of the
credit of the Pittsburg Athletic club
to back a mysterious land company
not yet formed, said Director Moore,
"I find there is being formed some
sort of a company, and Secretary
Locke Is now appearing on the sur
face. The ultimate object of this com
pany is, I understand, to build a ball
park, but I don't know anything about
it, and, as director, I must know.
have been asked to indorse notes, not
knowing what they are all about. We
shall see.
"In the first place. Barney Dreyfuss
does ont own the Pittsburg baseball
club. At least I do not think he does.
It never has been proven to me that
he owns the controlling stock, and, if
he does not, then it is owned prac
tically by foreign capital."
CARDINAL'S NEW MANAGER.
A Texas Collegian May Pilot St. Louis
Next Season.
St. Louis. Dec. 4. At the National
league meeting in New York next week
President Stanley Robison will an
rounce the new manager of the St.
Louis Cardinals. At present Walter
Morris, who finished the season at
short for the Mound City team, has
the Inside track for the position. Mor
ris is a college man a graduate of the
University of Texas and has handled

league?.
President Robison has heard many
nattering reports about Morris ability
as a leader, and is sure that Morris
will be able to get better work out of
the Cardinals' than any of the men
who have beer, considered for the
managerial position. Morris won three
pennants during his career in the
minor leagues and never has bossed a
team which has finish in the second

BIG BILL MADE MOST.
Penn's Star Fullback Led Eastern
Elevens in Points Scored.
Philadelphia. Dec. 4. "Big Bill"
Hollenbeck of Pennsylvania has a long
lead over all rivals in the number of
touchdowns scored during the past
season, having crossed the opponent's
goal line no less than 15 times as
against 10 for Coy of Yale, and Rich
ardson of Annapolis, his nearest rivals.
Manier was close up with nine tallies,
but no other Pennsylvanian scored
more than once. Tibbott of Princeton,
and Miller of Penn, two of the season's
stars, scored but once aplece.
In goal kicking Penn again led,
Scarlett adding the extra point to 25
touchdowns. Northcroft of Annapolis
came next with 20. Kennard of Har
vard and Northcroft and Lange of the
Navy , led the field goal -kickers with
three each. "
YOST XOT TO QUIT FOOTBALL.
Hurry Up Man Says He'll Be In the
Game Next Winter.
Detroit, Dec. 4. Fielding H. Yost,
coach of the Michigan football team,
has arrived from Philadelphia and
other eastern cities, where he has been
since his eleven was trounced by
Syracuse on November 21, He said
that the report of his going to manage
an electric railway was true.
"I've been interested in the Great
Falls Electric & Power company of
Nashville and Chattanooga for some
time," said the "hurry-up" man.
"Quit football? Hardly. I'll see
when next December comes what I'll
do in that game.
"Saw some fine football east. Penn
sylvania was the most versatile eleven
I cast eyes on, however. The Army
and Navy game was the hardest
fought battle I ever saw."
Leavenworth, Dec. 4. It is rumor
ed that a company has been organiz
ed to take over the Leavenworth
Northern & Southern railway between
Leavenworth and Atchison to elec
trify it and make it a part of a trol
ley road between Leavenworth an.d St
Joseph. The Leavenworth Northern
& Southern is now a part of the Santa
Fe. Neither the Leavenworth offices
of the Santa Fe nor the Kansas City
western officials could offer any in
formation on the matter.
"It is absurd," said Ed Hook, of the
Santa Fe. "Why it is about eleven
miles further to Atchison by this route
than by the river route, and there are
but two small towns, Lowmont and
Potter, on the line. There-is no reas
on why an electric-lino would want
the L. N. & S."
It is said that the Leavenworth
Northern & Southern is far from a
paying property under the present
operation and that it is very probable
that it could be purchased at much
less than the cost of construction.
"We have heard nothing of the L.
N. & S. deal." said Jesse Herrin, as
sistant suberintendent of the Kansas
City Western, yesterday, "and I do not
know that our company is in any
way connected with such a project.
It is cenerallv known that the Kan
sas City Western has for several years
been investigating tne country io me
north with reference to the possible
extension of the road north to St. Jo
seph. It was said by company of
ficials a few months ago, however,
that the project had been temporarily
droDoed on account of the difficulty
at that time of securing funds to fin
ance the extension. That an ultimate
development of this territory by the
trolley roads will come in time is
readily admitted.
A Leavenworth man claims that he
has seen the documents of the trans
fer from the Santa Fe to an electrical
company in the offices of a Kansas
Citv attorney, but also declares that
he does not know what the name of
the purchasing company is.
THE MILK XOT PURE.
A Leavenworth Man to Be Arrested
for Law Violation.
Leavenworth, Dec. 4. O. J. Heim
lich, will be arrested on a warrant is
sued upon an information filed by Dr.
C. R. Carpenter, city physician,
charging him with the sale of milk
from which the butter fat had been
extracted, leaving the milk far below
the required standard.
A number of physicians recently
called on Judge Flynn in the city court
before whom these cases are tried,
urging him to inflict the maximum
penalty in the milk cases.
At the trial of C. A. Green, found
guilty of preserving his milk offered
for sale, with formaldehyde, Judge
Flynn, in putting the fine at $1 and
the cost of the case, announced that
this was the last time that he would
show leniency.
It is Eald that the milk which
caused the filing of the information
against O. J. Heimlich contained but
two-tenths of one per cent of butter
fat, while the law requires two and a
half and three per cent.
SUES A FAILED BANK.
Santa Fe Railroad Desires to Recover

Arkansas City, Dec. 4. The Santa
Fe Railroad company has filed two
suits in district court to recover money

WICHITA BAXKS MAKE GATX.
Deposits for .State Institutions In
crease $347,213 in Six Months.
Wichita, Dec. 4. The state banks
have received their last call for the
year 1908. At the last call of the
state bank commissioner, on Septem
ber 3, the Wichita state banks showed
a deposit of $1,526,078.97. The call
issued late yesterday for ' November
27 shows Wichita state banks have
made an increase of $105,488.89 in de
posits over the last call. They now
have a total of $1,631,567.96 on de
posit.
The Wichita State Savings bank

GOOD FOR POTATO GROWERS.
Contract for a Dike in the Lenane
Drainage District Awarded.
Leavenworth. Dec. 4. The contract
for the construction of the dikes and
protective embankments for the
Lenape drainage district was let to J.
F. Venard and G. F. Bowen of Law
rence by the directors of the cor
poration. Work will begin at once. It
declared that the construction of
these dikes will increase the value of
the land in the district by one hun
dred per cent.- There are about 12,000
acres in the drainage district and the
cost of protecting the land will be
less than $1 per acre. Land which is
now selling at $100 an acre in this
district will be hard to get at $200 is
the statement of the potato growers
there. .
ADVANCE IX ZIXC ORE..
Top Grades Now $4 , the Highest
Prince in Thirteen Months.
Galena, Kan.. Dec. 4. The steadv
advance in price of zinc ore for the last
few weeks in the Kansas-Missouri
mining district received another boost
today when buyers offered $43 Der ton
of 60 per cent mineral.
This offer makes tOD grades worth
$46, the highest price in thirteen
months, and will result in a resumption
of operations at mines which have long
been idle. Although the advancing
prices have moved much of the sur
plus ore of the district many operators
have refused to sell and some buyers
have asked the privilege of bidding
just.
Indications clearly point to a strong
er closing market for the week. Lead
ore prices are stationary at $50 per
ton.
Societies, Attention!
We wish to secure a complete roster
of all clubs, secret societies, lodges, as
sociations and similar organizations to

attention. Either mail or phone to us.

Free Laxative
Cured Legions
Realizing how difficult it is- to oon-
vince the average person that one
remedy 4s different from another, even
though recommended for the same pur
pose, and that where one fails the other
may still succeed, the dispensers of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the great herb
laxative compound, have for several
years sent free trial bottles of the
remedy to any person who would send
name and address., ' .
Through this offer many hundred thou
sand samDles have been distributed. Ir.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has never been
recommended for anything but such con
ditions as constipation, liver trouble, bil
iousness, sour stomach, indigestion, flat
ulency, dyspepsia, sick headache, heart
burn and similar symptoms of stomach,
liver and bowel disease. That it will
cure such troubles is attested by the ex
perience of Mrs. Lydia Dixon, of Mingo,
Ky.. Mrs. N. Cunlnngham. of Talent, Ore.,
S. R. Tucker, of Hattiesburg. Miss., and
a host of others. They originally sent
for the free trial bottle, and then, being
convinced that the remedy was helping
them, they bought the regular 60-cent or
tl size bottle of their druggist, and in a
short while were cured.
While Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
sold bv drusrKists with the guarantee that
it will do as claimed or money will be
refunded, yet any reader suffering from
a stomach, liver or bowel complaint is
invited to write to Dr. Caldwell at the
address below for a free test bottle, which
will be cheerfully sent. We doubt if
there is a laxative in America that has so
manv families using it in the home as
Dr. Caldwell's Svrup Pepsin. Owing to
its SDecial ingredients It has proven a
great life-saver of children, women and
old folks. It is Pleasant to take and
never Kripes.
If there is anything about
your ailment that you don't
understand, or If you want
any medical advice, write
to the doctor, and he will
answer yon fully. There Is)
no charge for this service.

A STATE BALL LEAGUE.
Eight Kansi.9 Tow ns Talk of Forming
an Organization.
Newton, Kan., ,Dec. 4. A well de
veloped move is under headway here
to form a Kansas state baseball league
for the season of 1909, to take the
place of the Central Kansas league of
last season, in a way, although it is
expected that a higher grade of ball
will be played and the league will be
under the jurisdiction of the National
Bastball association.
The way it is figured out here, Ot
tawa. Emporia, Abilene, Salina, New
ton, Hutchinson. Great Bend and Ar
kansas City will be the towns com
posing the new league. Great Bend,
while not written to at first, has writ
ten here asking for permission to get
in and as it is good baseball town the
prospect of admitting it is favorable.
TO STAMP OUT SOCIETIES.
College of Emporia Begins War by
Suspending Six Pupils.
Emporia, Kan. Dec. 4. Six boys of
the College of Emporia were suspend
ed because of their connection with
a society formerly a local Greek letter
fraternity. The boys suspended were:
Alston McCarty, Edmond Riggs, Hum
phrey Jones. Curt Allen and Ray
Everett of Emporia and Edwin Dun
naway of Oswego. More than a year
ago the college faculty placed a ban
on fraternities by compelling students
to pledge that they would belong to
none while in school, and by forbid
ding the wearing of Greek letter pins
by the students. The boys suspended
had been members of the Beta Theta
Kappa fraternity, a local chapter, and
when the edict against fraternities went
out they tried to conform to the rules
by disassociating it from the school.
The boys were suspended for the re
mainder of the school year. ...
