'GENE WARE AND POETRY. Eugene Ware, the present United States commissioner of pensions, wrote poetry long before he ever thought of occupying his present position. He has achieved almost as much fame by his literary work as he has by his official prominence. But he has probably never realized hiw his excursions into the realms of poetry have tempted others to try the lyric muse, and for how much he Is there fore responsible.

Even his forthcom ing retirement is sufficient excuse for 'poems," as witness this rythmic pro duction, which occupied a conspicuous position in the editorial columns of I the Joplin Globe: I Gene Ware, the Kansas poet, says he's got his jolly fill of managing that office that is called the Pension MilL For the Sunflower, the alfalfa and the prohibition belt Old Ironqulll is yearn ing, and the yearning's long been felt, Ware rejrards the pension office such a I I etrengineneo, ana were is a gradual but sure return to health.

SONS'. CHANCES. UJ II til UV OA US Parsons Would Be Especially Conven ient for Almost All the Cities Now in the League, and Shively Seems to Be Favorable. Dr. D.

M. Shively, of Kansas City, president of the Missouri Valley league spent the day in the city talking base ball to the local sportsmen. Dr. Shive- ly is quite anxious to have Parsons fin the Missouri Valley league next year. Fort Scott, Iola, Pittsburg, and all of the town3 in the league want Parsons to It is true that Par- sons wants to enter the league too, but is a little slow about taking up the proposition.

Dr. Shively's visit is the result of a small effort on the part of some local fans to work up a base ball fever In August At that time the business men were roused up and became en thusiastic, but the chances to get a place in the league looked meager and the matter was temporarily dropped. Since that time their has been more talk on the outside of Parsons' enter-Since that time there has been more home. Fort Scott is particularly anx ious about this town as is also Pittsburg. Grant Hornaday, the Fort Scott magnate, made a quiet visit to Par- sons a few days ago and bis report of the town is largely responsible for Dr.

The one obstacle to base ball here is a park. Marvel is too far away and to build a park will cost $800, but It is thought that this can also be handled by a stock company. Some time ago Stevens Barrows offered a free lease on a tract of land west of the high SChool building for a base ball park xt the park was not built on account 0f waning interest in the -sport. The gentlemen are still willing to meet a stock company half way and they have tion with Dr. Shively.

The big scenic' production entitled "Man to Man" comes to the Edwards theater next Thursday night. This is tne Becond successful season for this melodrama and the reports from last year and this, are flattering In the extreme. The story revolves around the history of a young girL stolen from her parents in her youth In Australia, Jby one Goffrey, a diamond miser, who supposedly murders her father, Harvey Grant, and flees to the states with his ill-gotten wealth and the child. Com and counter plots follow each other so cudckly, but so consist- lently. that the Interest Is intense to the finish and the situations and In- cidents are so cleverly handled by the author that the audience is virtually 1 kept "guessing" till the final climax.

She occupied the house belonging to the farm and he lived In a small building on another part of the homestead. There was some trouble when he died concerning the settlement of the estate, but the east seventy acres, the improved part, was awarded to Mrs.

Lee and the west ninety to the children by the probate court. It is rumored that there has been some trouble among tne cniiaren since, but the extent of it is not known. Since a coroner's Inquest has been asked it is supposed that there, may be some suspicions of foul play entertained by some of the members of the family. In the absence of Coroner Huff, Drs.

Wichita, Nov. 28. Jay Graves, a twelve year old boy. is dead from a bullet wound suposed to have been self-inflicted with a 22-caliber rifle. He had been hunting and was found dying near where his gun lay.

Lustily and with might and main do the artists in the "Happy Hooligan" company, which will be the attrac tion at the Edwards theater on Satur day, December 5, work to entertain their audiences. When the company was engaged for the present edition of this most popular of all farce com edies, the management secured the ser vices of the very best talent that could be secured.

The matter of salaries was no object, so long as each part in the comedy could be filled by the artist who was the best qualified by per sonality and attainments to fill it. The result is an aggregation of comedians and singers which is distinctly high class. There is not a mediocre per former.

Congressman Cousins of Iowa: Dur ing the sixty odd years that the set tlers of Iowa have been cultivating corn and doing fall plowing and helping each other thresh they've had a pretty good chance to find out about the general run of things and they've heard a mighty sight about being "robbed" and "downtrodden," and so forth at different times, and as nearly as I find out, it's generally considered now that the oppression of the present times is about the most comfortable of any they've ever had. It's a trifle annoying to hear so much about the "trusts" said to be organized to eat us up, but compared with times when we had to give a bushel of wheat for two yards vof calico made by foreign mills and fourteen cents a pound for fence wire and a box for tin plate brought over the sea, there's a general impression that making things here at home pays after all, and that like enough, all the stories about trusts may not be true. Ottawa Herald: In a statement which is presumed to be a comment on the federal judgeship appointment, the Lawrence Gazette remarks that In "the first pitched battle of 1904 the ma chine not only won a marked victory, but it received the endorsement of the president" Whether or not the ob servation is correct, it may be presum ed that President Roosevelt would have no hesitancy in giving his official endorsement to a political machine, "Machine" is another name for organ I ration.

Why this ceaseless stream of trashy fiction which is pouring from the presses of the publishing houses when there is so much that' is classic in English fiction?

In fact the deluge of tenth-rate novels is one of the nuisances of the age of cheap printing. People who turn aside from the classics of the language to read them waste their time and have nothing to show for it And think of the presumptuousness of a writer of this bastard fiction speaking of the "Bastard Colleges of the United States and Their Detriment to Citizenship." It would be useless to argue with this writer as to the value of Western universities to American citizenship.

Fred-M. Blount, cashier of the Chicago National bank, and Albert Cur rier, a law partner of Congressman Boutell, were appointed receivers of the property.

Their bonds were fixed at $100,000 by Judge Kohlsaat, of the I united States district court, who made the appointment on' the petition of several creditors. The receivers, left for Zion City last night to possession of the prop- erty. The bankruptcy proceedings against Dowie were based upon the allegations that he is insolvent and that while in this financial condition, he committed an act of bankruptcy by making a pre- ferential payment, on November 4, to E.
