TOPEKA STATE THUKSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 13, 1903. KAHSASNEWS. Filipino Officer Will Be Leavenworth Student. Come to the Fort This Autumn to Attend School.

TERRIBLE AMERICAN. Known by Above Title by Philip pine Insurgents. Did Good Work for tncle Sam as a Spy. Leavenworth, Aug. 13.

A remarkable personage will be among the students during the coming term at the general service and staff college. This is on the recommendation of General Bell and the beneficiary is Lieutenant Oispulo Pata-Jo, of the Philippine scouts. He wan authorized to attend the school at Fort Leavenworth after the urgent recommendation to that end by General Ball nd General Young. His record, which has been received at the war department and made a part ef the official tiles, Is a notable one. He the professional spy of the government in many parts of the Philippines where organized gangs of murderers nd secret societies of traitorous purpose throve without much hindrance until he began to work.

He rendered especially good service In the provinces of t'nlon, Ilocos, Sur, Abra. Batangas an 1 Tayabas. He was known and officially characterized by the insurrectos as "the terrible Amoricanlsta" in proclamations offering money for his head. He ran down the notorious bandit I.lanes and secured evidence sufficient to hang the chief, his assistant and eight of the worst members of his murderous gang, in Vigan he was the means cf ferreting out about 50 murderers an 1 bringing to trial and conviction about 30. In Abra he pursued and captured Angeles, and at Santa Cruz he succeeded In enlisting the service and assistance of all the Igorrotes in the mountains ro as to be able to surround the entire hill where the insurreetor band weie camped.

At Naguilion in two weeks they captured 45 "insurgents, 12 guns and ammunition, and discovered that the officials In the neighborhood were acting as spies tor the Insurrection. Hardly any officer, certainly no one of I'atajos age length of service, has such an accumu. lation of favorable reports and high endorsements. as confident as Forbes. "I'll beat that fellow just as I beat this brother," said Frankle.

"He Is a good and clever boxer, but he has not got It much on me. I am not afraid of him and will go right to him. He will find a greatly improved boy Thursday night." The betting is 6 to 10 In favor of Forbes. THE ENGLISH PHYSIQUE. BOUGHT THE PARK.

Cawker City Chautauqua Directors Spend Money. Cawker City. Aug. 13. The Chautauqua just closed has been a gre.it success In every way.

The attendance was far better than expected, the talent very satisfactory, and those who camped were delighted with the park, programme and management. At a meeting of stockholders it was decided to purchase the park, which includes thirty acres Ml immense oak trees. The price was one hundred dollars an acre and enough stock wus soon sold to make the first payment, and substantial improvemertTs will be commenced at once. Several speakers hav" been engaged for next year's Chautauqua. A Railroad Commissioner Sick.

British, Government Wants Information on Its Subjects. The inauirv which the government Is about to address to the chiefs of the medical profession as to the physique or the English people is not only Justifiable, but most wise. Two immense changes are passing over our popula tion, and it is necessary to ascertain a definite and, for the time, final way what the effect of those changes upon the health of the population really is. The people are rapidly quitting the country for the towns. It is not merely that the great cities are growing till to take only one instance it is becoming a serious difficulty to trupply them with good water, but the minor towns are growing till in other countries they would be accounted cities.

Whereas, said the earl of Meath in the lords' debate of Monday, "in 1851 the urban population of England and Wales was 8 990,000. out of a total population of 17 927,000, or 50 per cent, in 1891 it was 25.000,000 out of a total population of or 77 per cent." That is an enormous change in the condition of British life, and it involves by a sort of necessity other changes, the full effect of which it is needful for a wise community to know. Then there i3 a second charge -which has passed over the people, and which, for good or evil, must, one would think, affect the national health. We have ordered every boy and girl during nine years of the growing time to go to school that is, to sit quiet for horns, to bend over desks and to use their minds instead of their hands and feet. That the effect upon the intelligence of the new genevation is.

on the whole, most beneficial Ave should be the last to deny: indeed, we only wish that the period of education could be lengthened by two years: but do we know anything with certainty of its effect upon health Many observers declare that it is not all good: that even when the schools are perfectly ventilated the confinement is too grra't and is in part the cause of the neurotic tendency, the craving for momentary excitement, wnu uiv say. marks the younger generation of the towns. We certainly do not notice that effect or that tendency among the children of the well-to-do: but then they leave home a little later, they are perfectly fd. and they obtain when out of doors the equivalent of a sound gymnastic training. At least, they are as healthy little animals as could well be wished for, with moreover, none of the cares which at that period begin to press upon those who have to earn their living.

The effect of sitting for six hours, the r.t vtars nf rtadina upon a race nj (whose forefathers could not read, and the effect or memai ue the ill-fed ere all effects with a material and direct bearing upon health, and have been far too carelessly studied We do not feel at all sure that they are wholly berehciai. ana hum that thev will be most careruuj examined "for if the decision is that they are partlv injurious the remedy is in our own hands.

Minneapolis, Aug. 13. Dr.

Harry I "Williams, Minnesota's football coach, has the following to say on new football "I think it would be extremely desirable to have eastern and western institutions, in fact, all the colleges in the country, playing under the same set of rules. I do not see any reason why the western institutions should refuse to adopt the changes in rules which have been advised by such capable and experienced men as Walter Camp, Paul Danhiel, Robert Wrenn, and the other men on the intercollegiate rules committee "I do not believe that the changes proposed will diminish the danger of the game to any extent. There is no doubt that the proposed new rules will change the game considerably, and I am inclined to believe that it will make it more interesting and spectacular, and therefore appeal more to the interest of ttie general public. The game in the middle of the field will be made more open, and kicking will become a more prominent feature. I do not be lieve that the proposed changes will Philadelphia, 6-2.

JOHNSON IN BOSTON. American League President Talks on Baseball. Boston, Aug. 13. President Ban Johnson, of the American league, was In Boston from New York, saw the game at the American grounds, and left for New York by boat.

Mr. Johnson said his visit was simply a call here before he went west, as he would likely remain in the west until the close of the season. He said it looked like Boston this season for the pennant, as Collins' boys were playing grand ball, and he had faith in the Boston boys holding their own with Pittsburgs In a series for the world's championship. President Johnson was looking well, and said everything in the American league was in first-class shape, and that baseball was in a healthy condition once more, with the public delighted to attend the games. He was surprised to see over 10,000 people at the Boston game.

EHECTS BRONZE TABLET. Woman's Society Commemorates Finding Skeleton in Armor. It has long been the desire of the Women's Kducational and Industrial soci ety of Fall River to commemorate tne discovery in 1831 of the skeleton in armor referred to in Longfellow's famous poem, and its efforts have at last been ciowned with success. A bronze tablet 24 inches in length and 20 inches in width has been placed in the brick building on Hartwell street, which occupies the site of the finding of the skeleton. According to the story told by Miss Susan H.

Wixon, president of the soci ety, Hannah Borden Cook, the discoverer of the skeleton, was a resident of Fall River. On the morning of the discovery she had been busily engaged in the spring house cleaning, and everything was as clean and sweet as limewash, paint and hard work eould make it. The pewter, brass and tinware only remained to be scoured, and Hannah went in search of clean, white scouring sand to the "sandbank" well and favorably known In olden times to housewives far and near. The spot was between Fourth and Fifth streets in those days, but it is now covered by dwelling houses and other buildings. Suddenly, as she scooped the white, dry sand, Hannah's hand came in contact with some hard, diy substance.

Hastily pushing aside the sand which covered it. she was horrified at seeing a grinning human skull lying there in the warm sunshine, face upward. Hastening homeward, she told her husband, William Cook, and with his friend, John Orswell. he hurried to the spot. On being unearthed the object was found to be the skeleton of a human being, clothed in brass armor and buri il in a sitting posture, facing the east.

The bones were those of a tall, man. The knees were drawn up toward the breast and the forearms were drawn to the shoulders. From the head down the ricure was wrapped in a sort of shroud of woven bark, seven varieties having been used in its construction. Ail of it, however, crumbled to dust and vanished on exposure to the air. Ihe armor upon the skeleton was made of fine brass and beside it were six arrows of hrass.

thin, fiat and triangular in shape. These arrows were in a sort of quiver of bark, which dropped to pieces on exDOSure to the air. The skeleton was caretuuy examinea by local physicians Dr. Wilbur and IJr. Glazier who came to the conclusion that it was that of an Indian, and that it had lain in the ground 150 years.

The bones were gathered up and, with the brass arrow tips, were placed in a case with a glass cover and deposited in the Fall River athenaeum. There the skeleton lav in state, an object of interest to all beholders, until destroyed by tne treat fire of 1843. In connection with the identical spot where the skeleton was found a tragedy occurred a few years later in the life of Hannah Cook, the discoverer. Her little son, 11 years old, wnne piaymg mere lost his life. Through the caving in of the bank he and a smill companion were suffocated.

New York Tribune. Taken With Cramps. William Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport, was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he had to have the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted.

He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordingly several doses were ad ministered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next dHy. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gifford's medicines. tLiKader.

Iowa, Argus. This remedy never fails. Keep it in your nnme. may save iue. for sale by all the rounds," said a man the other day, and the argument he used can be heard all around.

This Idea of Zf-ftries and Corbett. representing respectively the mailed fist and the winged foot of the pugilistic game, must have grown out of their previous contest, for there isn't much in any of Jeffries' other fights that entitles him to be looked upon as an effective puncher. On the contrary, he may rightly be regarded as one of the poorest finishers ever seen for a champion and a man of his heft. True, he put a dent in Sharkey's ribs, but any one who saw the go will admit that the Sailor was guilty of contributory negligence. He left his left side exposed to the boilermaker's assaults.

It was like the immovable body and the irresistible force being in collision. Yet Sharkey fought right along to tne bitter finish of the -'3 rounds, and was more pugnacious than the other fellow in the closing moments or tne go. There were other fights of Jeffries which should help to correct the impression that he is a knocker-out. Choynski went 20 rounds with him, and so did Ruhlin. while Sharkey was on deck at the end of the battle, one a 20 and the other a 2E round affair.

It can be readily understood how Jeffries, with his bulk and force, could do considerable damage in a rushing, scrambling contest. Bob Armstrong once said that being bumped by Jef fries shoulder was like having a sack of cement hurled at you, but Bob never held that Jeffries could hit a clean. punishins crack with his fist. As a matter of fact Jeffries hasn learned the secret of finishing a man with a single punch, which his prede cessors in office possessed. With his bone and substance and his tiick bludgeons of arms he can batter a man to the floor in time, but in all his prominent ring affairs Jim Corbett is about the only opponent he caught and dropped on the fly with one fell thump.

This is not an argument that Corbett is going to win the coming fight. It is simply an idea of how easily wrong Impressions in regard to a pugilist strong points may crystallize. Jeffries has been derelict in his train ing, that is, according to the notions of those who believe a lighters preparation should consist largely of boxing, bag punching and other kinds of in door work. Over at Corbett's, on the contrary, the thump and creak of training gear has become as monotonous as the wash of the waves on a sandy shore. As a consequence a good many are beginning to think that Corbett will land in the ring In better fettle than Jeffries.

Delaney thinks differently. He says that he has schemed to keep Jeffries away from routine work, as the cham pion has made serious mistakes on the score of overwork on former occasions. The time is not far distant now when Delaney'8 ideas will receive a practical test. Meanwhile the opinion is gaining ground that Jeffries' main reason for slighting the ordinary routine is a purpose to make a hurricane battle of it. It is felt that he believes his strength and speed will carry him to victory before five rounds have elapsed.

It is very easy to reconcile this view with Jeffries' tactics. For that matter he has been quoted as saying that condition will cut no more figure in the coming match than it would in a bar room fight. Communications bearing upon the result of the big contest keep pouring in, and there is constant inquiry whether Corbett will be champion of the world If he stays 20 rounds and gains the decision without having knocked out Jeffries. In reply it can be said that whoever gains the decision will be champion of the world, no matter whether he wins on points, knockout, foul, or what At the same time cause the game to revert to the old I succeed him, each at $4,000 a year. The standard of ten or fifteen years ago.

"Minnesota is neither opposed to nor enthusiastic over the adoption of the new rules, and while believing it is highly desirable that the eastern and western universities should adopt common rules and regulations, we will unquestionably act in harmony with the other leading universities of the west in this matter when the question is brought up officially for settlement." WANTS A LITTLE FTJN. Why Madden Will Match Aristocracy Against Broomstick. New York, Aug. 13 A Saratoga dispatch to the Evening News says: Captain S. S.

Brown has made an offer to John E. Madden to match Broomstick against Aristocracy. Regarding this Madden today said that Pulsus also beat Broomstick, and he wanted to know which horse Brown would like Broomstick to run against. "1 don't want to run for money," said Madden, "but I'll run either one against Broomstick for fun any time if Brown will give me four or five days' notice." Corbett Selects Fighting Gloves. San Francisco, Aug.

13. Jim Corbett selected the style of gloves yesterday he will use when he meets Jim Jeffries at Mechanics' pavilion Friday night. Sol Levison, the well known maker of boxing mitts, called on him with a bundle of gloves of various shapes and styles, all of which were carefully tried by the ex-champion, who is more particular about such matters than the average fighter. A glove must lit Corbett just so before he will look at it. Jim picked out a pair yesterday which pleased him with the exception of a slight alteration in the palm, which Levison will make according to Corbett's suggestion.

Corbett thought the palm of the glove was a trifle narrow, and asked that It be made wider. Levi son, who has made jercries gloves since he has been champion, said there wouldn't be much difference in the shape of the fist protectors of the two men. "Jeffries doesn't like a rib in his glove to grip," remarked Levison. "Most fie-hters nrefer the rib. as it gives mem something to grip, and they think they can hit a harder blow.

Now that pair of gloves Corbett is using has ribs. Oth- ,1 n-nVl 1 i L- Tpf. erwise it i iiixe v. fries' gloves." Good Scores at Leavenworth. Tjavenworth.
