OLD TIMER BUT liOGD
Denver Wants a Manager Who
Is Scrappy.
Western League Meetings to Be
Held in February.
The "Hon. Feewee Jones, who is
named Burt in the family Bible, the
celebrated southpaw pitcher, who was
a member of tu-3 Topeka. team during
the season of lias accepted terms
and will be a member if Cooley s fir
Inar line squad during the season
IMit. This will be gnoil news to the To
peka fans with whom Jor.os was always
a favorite.
Jones ought to make a pood man for
Cooley next season. During the year
he worked here Jones started out with
a great record. lie won nearly ever;
Came he pitched until in midseason
when he had a falling out with Herman
Crow who was then managing the team
while Coolev was holding down his
Louisville job. Jones was a. real artist
in the nrofession and consequently
high priced man. Crow tried to cut his
salary while he was on the road. Jones
refused and in an altercation Crow
landed on Jones" solar plexus. Jones
didn't try much after that and gave
tin almost entirely when a little later
in the season, while at home as a re
suit of an accident, he refused to take
a reduction of two weeks' wages when
he wasn't able to play.
Karller in the season he won a home
with the Topeka fans by winning three
ciimes from Wichita, the champions, m
less than a week. When going right
Burt is a hard man t) bca;. Ho has
curves a mile wide and has good speed
for a veteran.
Jones has had a Ions career in the
ho He nitched for the Milwaukee
t(m in the oid Western Leacue 1
years ago. Later he went to the big
ieairiies where he stayed for a few
voars. He Ditched for Cleveland and St
Louis, and had quite a reputation. He
drifted back to the minors four years
aero and went to the Lincoln. .Neo
team which was owned by his old
friend. Dnckv Holmes, now manager of
the Sioux City team. In 1906. the sea
son before he came to Topeka, he broke
his arm. early in the season, but the
limb mended and he went back into
he game and won a majority of liis
efforts for that season.
Jones is not only a good pitcher but
he is a timely batter and his long ais
tance drives had telling effect on his
list of victories for 1907. He now lives
in Oolden. Col., where he owns a fruic
farm. Last season he laid off, but like
Mil old participants in the same he can t
resist the call of the diamond.
Dummy Taylor, who is spending a
few wetks in Topeka, underwent an op
eration Wednesday morning. A gland
in his right shoulder had become swol
len and inflamed and gave him consid
erable trouble towards the close of th-j
season. The arm was cut and the
gland was lanced. :This ought to help
bis arm and rut him in good condition
for 1909. Dummy heard a rumor last
night that he was traded to the St.
Louis Card! naLs. but doesn't think the in
formation is correct. Taylor has beet,
with New York for eight years.
The Denver team wants a manager
and wants one bad. Irwin, who was
In charge, of the team last season, is
apparently out of it. President
Burke wants a scrapper, not the kind
that is always instigating trouble, but
the kind that will stand for the team
at all times and try to get a square
deal. He was after Jack Ryan the
scrappy manager of the Buffalo team,
but Ryan is tied down-and can't get
away, although Denver offered him
better wages. It now looks as
though the managerial toga would
devolve upon Lave Cross, who played
with the Philadelphia and other big
league team for years. Cross was
here with Washington last spring.
He dropped out of the big leagues
and went to New Orleans where he
made a good record.

Cures Woman's Weaknesses.
We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,

Favorite Prescription.
Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial StaS
ot Thi Ecxecttc Mbdical Review says
of Unicorn root (Helonias XHoica) which
is one of the chief Ingredients of the "Fa

A remedy which Invariably acts as a uter

He continues "In Heloniaa we have a medica
ment wtatch more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug with, which I am
acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women It Is seldom that a case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent." Dr. Fyfe further
savs: "The following are among the leading
Indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). . Pain

Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College. Chicago, says:
"It Is an important remedy in disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement, it is useful."
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of

"In relation to Its general effects on the

Prof. R. Bartholow, M. of Jefferson

No more primitive form of bread-making is to be found In the world today
than that of Syria. Here the natives make bread out of the same materials,
over the same tvpe of stove, as their forefathers did 6,000 years ago. The
above view is, indeed, characteristic of the Oriental home on baking day. The
whole family helps. .
The father is sitting on the ground and is putting new fuel on the fire over
which the bread is baked. The mother, with her little child on her shoulder,

Dick Brown, the veteran third base
man ohiects to the adjective "erst

with his name in these columns a few
davs ago. On a former occasion mis

paper which referred to Dickie as
"rotten." to which he also objected.
Now what Dick wants to see is a
statement to the effect that he is still
a youngster and is open for engage
ments. The Buffalo Eastern league team
has decided to hold the spring prac
tice in Joplin and will play a couple
of games there. The castoffs of the
easterners will be sold to Joplin.
Walter Boles is now a full fledged
attorney and is practicing in iort
Worth. Walter has found in plead
ing cases before judges and juries,
that his arguments with Western
association umpires last season wnue
be was temcorarilv in charge oi tne
Topeka team, were invaluable in de
veloping an impressive style of oratory
and flow of eloquence.
Happy Westcott who has been in
the Western association tor a vast
number of years, has been signed by
the Wichita management ror ine
Western league. Happy pitched for
Hutchinson last, season but was cut
adrift in the big shakeup of that
team, and finished the season witn
Saiina. Happy didn't do any too
much out there. Still he may make
good, as greater accidents tnan tnat
have been recorded during the six
thousand years of the world's his

ever in the Western association to
which Westcott never belonged.

JOCKEY'S SALARY PRINCELY.
Edilio Martin to Got $1,500 Monthly
and a Bonus.
San Francisco, Dec. 31. Who
wouldn't be a jockey? Eddie Mar
tin is to get $1,500 a month and a
bonus for riding Irving W. Wheat
croft's horses this winter at Santa
Anita. Representatives of W. K.
Vanderbilt, the American turfman
now racing In France, and Wheat
croft, who owns the St. James stable,
have been hot-foot after Martin, but
the latter gentleman closed the deal
by wire with Rome Respee, the men
tor and contract employer of Mar
tin. Tho terms, $1,500 a month and a
bonus, are about the record for a
jockey's services on a winter race
track. "Marveyoul" Miller received
$1,200 a month from T. H. Williams
last winter, while "Canada Jack"
Martion's contract with "Bob" Tuck
er and Captain "Sam" Brown at New
Orleans, La., three years ago called
for $1,000 a month. Martin may con
tinue in the employ of the St. James
'stables in 1909, for Mr. Wheatcroft

KETCIIEL PREFERS TO WAIT.
Thinks He Hnd Better Grow Some
Before lighting Johnson.
Grand Rapids, Dec. 31. Stanley
Ketchel, middleweight champion of
the world, who is now an aspirant for
the heavyweight honors, said, after
hearing of the outcome of the Burns
Johnson fight: "I cannot say now
whether I will meet Johnson or not.
I realize that he is a clever boxer, and
that I will have to at least come even
with him in weight and height. Here
tofore I have fail I would draw the
color line. I had expected to meet
Burns in San Francisco July 4. 1909.
Whether I will meet Johnson for the
title remains entirely with my mana
ger, Joe O'Connor. , If he can fix it
up for me to meet Johnson It is per
fectly satisfactory to me, although,
as I said, I would rather wait until I
can compare more favorably with him
in height and weight.
"The outcome of the fight was a
surprise to me, as I had figured that
Burns would win."
SLOW AND VX INTERESTING
Was the Fight WhieH Kaufman Won
From Barry in 39tli Round.
San Francisco. Dec. 31. In a slow and
uninteresting fight, which lagged through
out and conveyed the impression to the
five thousand persons that crowded the
Jeffries' Vernon arena last night that
both fighters were hardly first raters.
Al Kaufman of San Francisco, protege of
"Billy" Delaney, manager of Jim Jeffries
and several other champions, knocked out
Jim Barry, the Chicago heavyweight, in
the thirty-ninth round of what was to
have been a fortv-flve round contest. Both
men were badlv used up and when the
final punch sent Barry to the mat. the
latter's seconds threw up the sponge.
The fact that the winner of the fight
would likely prove to bfr the. next chal
lenger for the heavy weight champion
ship of the world, lent greater interest to
the contest than to any other than has
been held for a long time.
May Reinstate . Sebring.
New York, Dec 31. Jimmy Se
bring, the farnous baseball "outlaw"
was added to the list of prospective
Brooklyn managers in a rumor that
is founded on Sobrlng's possible re
instatement by the National com
mission next week. There Is scarcely
any doubt that Sebring will be re
instated. His sister has visited Harry
Pulliam several times, in.' Sebring's
behalf and he seems sincere in his
repentance. - So far as is known, there
is no decided objection to the erasure
of his name from the 'black list."
Clioyinskl . to Referee.
Chicago, Dec. 31. Joe- Choyniski
has been chosen , referee for the Mike
Schreek-Marvin ' Hart fight, which
takes place at Lexington, Ky. The
former heavyweight fighter received
a telegram from the promoters of the
battle asking him if he would referee
the match, and he wired back his ac
ceptance immediately.

ESTATE IN INDIANA.
Matron at Bethany Hospital, in
Wyandotte Co., in Luck.
One of the Heirs to Property
Now Worth Half a Million.
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 31. Like the
washerwoman in Eugene Ware's poem,
Mrs. Alice Cheney, matron at Bethany
hospital, lived with an abiding convic
tion that God, in whom she had trust
ed always, would provide for her every
want. "With that faith as her guide,
Mrs. Cheney for. many years declined
to enter Into litigation with others of
her family for the recovery from her
uncle of property of value In Indian
apolis. ' - - - " '
"If the Lord intends that I shall have
it he will give to me in good time," was
always her reply. .-
Mrs. Cheney has received a letter
from a law Arm in Indianapolis stating
that by the death of the widow of her
uncle, James Brown, she had become
one of the heirs to his estate valued at
between $250,000 and J500.000.
Mrs. Cheney's share will be at least
$25,000. Other heirs to the estate are
Alexander and Jennie Brown, of St.
Louis; Lida Munson. of Chicago, and
Irwin and Irene Wilson, of Auburn,
Ind.
"Unless some further litigation de
velops the matter will all be settled In
a few weeks," Mrs. Cheney said today.
"I will not enter into'any litigation or
worry about the - matter. I have not
decided what I will do with the money.
I will decide that when I get it."
Mrs. Cheney has been matron at
Bethany hospital for a number of
years, and has been a teacher and
librarian In the Methodist Sunday
schools for many years.
PURE FOOD TEST SLIT.
CoffeyvIHe Grocers Say Their Pickled
Meat Was O. K.
Coffey ville, Kan., Dec. 31. In the
court of Cofteyville the case of Robert
son & Harvey, proprietors of the
Model grocery, was heard at pre
liminary and the defendants were
fined 14 and costs for selling or offer
ing for sale meats which were pickled
with a secret preparation. The pick
ling preparation is made by a Chicago
firm and has the sanction of the gov
ernment pure food inspectors on it.
The case is being handled by the
law firm of Osborn & Osborn of this
city, but is being backed by the manu
facturers of the product. When the
decision was reached in the prelimi
nary the attorneys announced that the
case would be appealed to the district
court.
There was no. evidence, at the pre
liminary to show that the preparation
was injurious norhat the defendants
had tin .any way wilfully -violated the
pure food 'laws of the state. The
charge was made against them on the
grounds that' they were using a prepa
ration which was secret to the public
and that according to the pure food
law of Kansas ingredients In any
preparation of foods or food products
must be printed on the box or package
containing it.
This case may serve as a test for
that portion of the state law which
refers to secret preparations of foods
or fdod products.
BACK TO THEIR WIGWAMS.
Three Rosebud Indians Released
Erom Eederal Prison.
Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. 31. Last
evening three Indians were liberated
from the federal prison and will re
turn to their homes on the Rosebud
reservation. The Indians have done
duty In the federal prison for the
year past for peddling liquor to the
other braves on the reservation. Their
names are about as much of a curi
osity as their deeds, Charles Crow,
Jesse Bravchawk and George Four
horns. These men are still receiving money
from the federal government and their
checks have been coming regularly to
the prison. These have been kept by
the prison officials except when one
of them wanted to send money to a
relative in the reservation or to pay
debts. The entire sum will be given to
the men.
FAILED BANK TO PAY.
President If or na day Optimistic as to
First Xational's Affairs.
Fort Scott, Kan., Dec. 31. Keene
& Gates, who have been counsellors
of the various Hornaday properties for
the past several years, have been ap
pointed as attorneys for Receiver John
Watts of the closed First National
bank. They were nominated for this
position by the two United States sen
ators of Kansas, Chester I. Long and
Charles Curtis.
President Hornaday was optimistic
this morning regarding the condition
of the bank. He stated that about
two-thirds of the proofs for deposit
had been received up to this time and
that in his opinion the. bank could
pay 50 per cent to its depositors at this
time if the comptroller -would order
this done.
PAID IN $65,611 IN TAXES.
A Record Breaking Day at Treasurer's
Office in Independence.
Saturday was a record breaker in
the offices of county treasurer and
clerk. From early morning until late
in the evening a constant stream of
taxpayers poured into the office of the
treasurer, each individual bent on
paying his taxes before the penalty
went into effect. : More than one
thousand separate tax receipts were
written during the day, which is a
record for the office. The total amount
of money paid in was $65,611.15, with
one exception the largest day's re
ceipts in the history of the office. On
December 11, 1907, the receipts were
$69,145.16, but this amount included
one item of over $46,000 paid by the
Prairie Oil & Gas company. As the
largest single item on Saturday was
J8.152.06, the amount paid by the
Kansas Portland Cement company,
that day really holds the record for
one day's business in the office of the
county treasurer of Montgomery

Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. 31. John
Yowszay, the informer who caused
the arrest of Robert Poll for selling
liquor, an onense no less than high
treason in the code of the Polish sa
loonkeeper, is In hiding, protected by
the county authorities aganist the at
tempted violence of his irate country
men. Meanwhile Joe Titolski and
Frank Sawaczki are under arrest, and
charged with breaking into the home
of the informer with felonious and
malicious intent. A broken door at
the Yowszay cottage, 18 Riverside,

The Polish colony is in turmoil.
The name of Towszay is coupled with
epithets of shame.
The troubles of Towszay begun
some weeks ago when he became a
customer of "Robert Poll. ' It Is said
that he bought some liquors at Poll's
place and insisted on buying more. In
the course of an animated conversation
Poll refused.
"If you don't, I have you arrested,"
Towszay is credited with saying.
Poll took this as a challenge and
dared the threatener to do his worst.
This he did, and armed with a war
rant Issued on the information signed
by Towszay, the sheriff raided Poll's
place and confiscated liquors. The
threat was made good, and Towszay
was a marked man.
The defendants were arraigned in
the city court before Judge David
Klynn yesterday afternoon and were
released under bond of $350 each for
their appearance for trial on the
burglary charge. The defendants
aver that they were at the Towszay
home Just for a friendly party.

After Murdering Sirs. Selzer, Ray
Reese Turns Weapon on Hinueir.
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 31. An
hour after he had wished his former
sweetheart, now a bride of less than
a week, a "long life and a happy one,"
Ray Reese returned to her home in
this city and shot her through the
breast, after which he committed sui
cide by shooting himself in the head.
The woman, Mrs. Clyde Selzer, 19
years old, will die.
Several months ago Reese was en
gaged to the young woman, but they
quarreled and parted, and on Decem
ber 24 she married Selzer and was liv
ing with him in this city.
Yesterday Reese entered the house,
saying he wished to congratulate the
bride, and left after doing so. An hour
later he returned and handed her a
photograph she had given him last
summer. She thanked him kindly.
Stepping back a pace Reese drew a
revolver. Mrs. Ladd, the girl's sister,
who had just entered the room, fled
screaming. Reese fired one shot into
Mrs. Selzer's right breast, the ball
penetrating the lung and going through
the body. Taking one look at the
prostrate, bleeding form of the girl,
Reese walked into an inner room and,
placing the revolver to his right tem
ple, fired a shot into his brain which
instantly ended his life.
A police surgeon was immediately
summoned and did all he could ror
Mrs. Selzer. ' She had been removed to
a bed ana was unconscious. j-teese s
body was taken in charge by the coro
ner and sent to a morgue. Reese's
purpose was so clear that it is not be
lieved that an inquest will be neces
sary.
Reese s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam R. Reese, with whom he lived,
were greatly shocked over their son's
double deed. They said they had no
intimation of such a tragedy.
