FALL 1903 FOOTBALL BASEBALL The Last of the Good Old Summer Time. From the Minneapolis Tribune IABLE TO STAY SERIA THREATENS NEVER TO EVACUATE MANCHURIA. Russians Will Stay Where They Are Until She Does—Washington Not Surprised to Hear the News, but Has No Intention of Intervening So Long as Treaty is Observed. TOKOHAMA.—(Special.) According to information received here, the Russian minister at Peking, M. Lessar, was informed the Chinese foreign office that Russia will never evacuate machuicha unless her latest demands are granted. The Japanese residents of Jef-Whe- have filed a petition with the foreign office at Tokio asking that a Japanese warship and troops be sent to protect their interests, in view of the menacing attitude of Russia. The injury of Iapan is not yet known. The press which reported the for- cation by Russian of Yongampho, on the Korean bank of the Yalu river, considers this action as a possible assus belli, as being an infringement of Korean integrity. The report, how- ever, is not confirmed officially. The temporary Korean minister for foreign affairs has been relieved at his own request. Baron Von Rosen, the Russian min- ister to Japan, had another conference with Baron Komura, the Japanese minister, Wednesday. The Japanese premier, Viscount Katsura, had an audience with the emperor the same day. It is now feared that the prom- sised concessions on the part of Russia are insufficient to offset her continuous menace to Korea, nor is the China- Japanese commercial treaty, to be signed October 8, thought adequate to compensate for a permanent Russian occupation. A rumor current says that definite Russian demands concerning Manchuria and Korea have been presented to Japan by Baron Von Rosen. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The state department has not received direct confirmation of the Associated Press information from Yokohama, but officials say they would not be surprised to receive such confirmation at any time from Minister Con- THE SEASO FALL 1593 BASEBALL The Last of the Good ger. They say they are fully prepared to believe the news that Russia has served notice on China that she will not evacuate Manchuria until her latest demands are granted. Exactly what these demands are, no officials of the state department are prepared to say, but the belief is strong that they are practically the same as those reported by the Associated Press from Peking last spring and disavowed by the Russian foreign office. It was said Wednesday night on the highest authority that this government had reason to believe that Russia was insisting on the very demands which Count Lamdsof assured Ambassador McCormick had never been presented and which Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, told Secretary Hay were merely presented as bases of negotiations. It was stated by the same authority that this government will not feel called upon to enter protest against Russia's action, so long as our commercial treaty, which is to be signed soon, is observed, and the two ports in Manchuria promised by Russia to remain open to the world's commence. Nordica Falls Out of Bed WALKA Pans Out or Bed. CHICAGO—(Special.) Mme. Nordica was thrown from her berth and badly shaken up in this city Wednesday in the transfer of her special car from one railroad yard to another. The noted singer was passing through the city en route from the West. While the special car was being switched the trainmen, not being aware that the train had an occupant, allowed it to crash into a bumper. The jolt sent the singer tumbling to the floor, but, except for the shock, she was not injured. is injured. THREE KILLED, THIRTY HURT. Greenwood and Coffey Counties, Kansas, Wrecked. EUREKA, KAN.—(Special.) A tornado swept across the southern part of Coffey county and the northern part of Greenwood county Tuesday night, causing the death of three persons and more or less seriously injuring thirty others. The loss of life occurred near Hamilton, this county, where the following were killed: Edith Bailey, aged 11, daughter of W. E. W. Bailey, a farmer; killed outright. J. H. Helman, a stonemason; killed outright. Ollie Bailey, a young man; died of his injuries. Among the seriously injured are: W. E. W. Bailey. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Mannis. H. Heberlin wife and child. Over in Coffey county, the little town of Aliceville was practically wiped out and fifteen people injured, three of them perhaps fataly. The damage to property in Greenwood county will amount to $200,000, and something like a dozen families are without food and shelter. The day preceding the storm was like spring, with frequent heavy thunder-showers. About 6:30 in the evening five funnel-shaped clouds blew up from the southwest and first touched the ground a few miles southwest of Hamilton. Here one struck the Bailey home, with fatal results. The Helman home was next struck. The five twisters continued in a northeasterly direction, just touching the northeastern corner of Hamilton and destroying the homes of A. Barker, Mr. Holland and the Santa Fe tool house. Northeast of Hamilton the storm tore through the richest farm land in Greenwood county, blowing down houses and barns, killing live stock and tearing through cornfields, orchards and timber land. On Slate creek, northeast of here, trees four feet thick were uprooted. ALICEVILLE—(Special.) A tornado, accompanied by a fierce electrical storm, Tuesday night practically destroyed this village. The Methodist church and every store and residence in town, except that of L. W. Klinker, were wrecked. Mauna Loa Active Again. HONOLULU.—(Special.) The volcano of Mauna Loa, on the Island of Hawaii, is again in a state of activity. The eruption began Tuesday and was N'S CHANGE. Old Summer Time.

Dare of Walkerton, Ind., was killed on a Northern Pacific box car at North Town Junction Friday night by tramps who robbed him of his money. As the train was entering the town the trainmen heard shots and saw four men descend from the roof of a car and run into the woods near by.

LAMBETH PALACE, HISTORIC ENGLISH STRUCTURE, NOW UNDERGOING REPAIRS LAMBETH PALACE SUDDEN DEATH TWO ROCK ISLAND RAILROAD LA BORERS KILLED BY LIGHTNING. THE BOLT STRUCK A BOARDING TENT Six Others Injured, but Canvas Was Not Scorched—Tent Stood at Tenth and Muncie Boulevard, Kansas City, Kan.—Lightning Was in the Form of Two Balls of Blue Fire. KANSAS CITY, KAN.—(Special.) Lightning struck one of the tents occupied by laborers for the Rock Island Railway company in this city at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday night, instantly killing two men and injuring six others. The bolt entered the tent at the west entrance, near the floor. There were about twenty men inside at the time, having just returned from the dining car after supper. Joseph Franklin, one of the killed, was in the act of fastening the screens when the bolt struck and the others were scattered all the way through the tent, which is forty feet in length from east to west. Those who were far enough away to witness the accident without being knocked down, say Franklin was lifted two feet from the ground, falling upon his face in the passageway. Pat McNamara, one of the injured, was just to Franklin's left, and was also knocked down. James Logan, who formerly belonged to one of the regiments at Fort Leavenworth, was sitting on his bunk fully one-half way to the east end, talking to John Garddiner, his bunkmate. This bunk was within ten inches of the floor, and both Logan and Garddiner were knocked nearly three feet to the east. Logan never moved after he was struck, and it was several minutes before Garddiner was able to speak. He was thought at first to be dead, but later developments proved his injuries were not much more serious than those of some who were barely knocked down. Edward Glasner, who is the most seriously injured, was sitting on top of one of the high bunks, about halfway between the two who were killed. He was knocked to the floor, and also appeared to be dead for more than twenty minutes. However, he was able to sit up when Police Surgeon Little arrived with the ambulance. Dr. Little advised Fischer and Garddiner to go to the hospital for the night, but both refused. Each could walk within an hour after the shock, and they both said they would try to work next morning. Garddiner, however, refused to pass the night in the tent. He came to Kansas City, Mo. LAMBETH PALACE, H STRUCTURE, NOW LAMBETH PALACE Lambeth palace, the London residence of the archbishop of Canterbury, is now undergoing extensive repairs, the older portions of the palace having become decayed. Recent examination showed that the external structures were much fretted and the tall hexagonal chimneys above the roof and registered at the Denver house. He said that he could never sleep in the bunk where his mate had been killed only a few hours before. The tent which was struck by the thunderbolt occupies the southeast corner of a block of tents at Eleventh street and Muncie boulevard. About thirty-five men occupy beds in that tent, but many of them had not returned from supper when the accident occurred. The men in the camp there are all laborers, employed in the Rock Island yards at Armstrong. Shot to Death by a Mob SHERIDAN, ARK.—(Special.) Ed McCollum, a negro, was taken from the county jail early Tuesday morning by a masked mob, tied to a tree in the court house yard, and shot to death. The negro shot and seriously wounded Constable Crutchfield, of Lewis county, last week, while the officer was attempting to arrest him. Two Dead in California Wreck. EUREKA, CAL.—(Special.) Two men dead and two injured, but not seriously, is the result of a collision between an extra and regular freight trains on the San Francisco & Northwestern railroad near the Fortuna ferry crossing. The dead are: Charles Still, fireman of the extra, and Henry Low, brakeman on the freight. Most of the crews saved their lives by jumping. The collision was due to a misunderstanding of orders. ```markdown ``` The Postal Inquiry Over. WASHINGTON—(Special.) The President and members of his cabinet now here were in consultation two hours Friday. Secretary Root, Secretary Hay and Secretary Hitchock were absent. While those present were reticent as to the details of the meeting, it is known that some matters of importance, particularly relating to the Navy and Postoffice departments, were under consideration. Postmaster General Payne stated that the postoffice investigation was practically concluded, although a few matters of importance remain to be cleared up. Americans Get Insurgents' Guns. MANILA.—(Special.) General Ola, leader of the insurgent armies in the province of Albay, Luzon, continues to turn out the guns of his command to the American authorities. During the campaign 100 insurgents were killed and 700 men and 100 guns were captured. At the time of the surrender Ola's mea were in rags, hungry and covered with sores. He has promised to help the authorities to capture Toleno and Laria, the insurgent leaders still at large. General Allen says he has promised to grant immunity to Ola. Took in $10,225,000 in a Day. NEW YORK—(Special.) City tax receipts for the first day of the annual collection here amounted to $10,225,000. This great sum was borne after night in a rickety four-wheeler to a bank in Wall street. The treasure was guarded by four policemen, some of whom were seated in the vehicle waist-deep amid bundles of checks and bags of currency. It was said to have been the biggest first day payment the tax office of Manhattan borough had, regardles of the fact that most of the large property holders failed to appear. Japan May Get Part of Korea. PARIS.—(Special.) Official advices show that the Japanese fleet is in the harbor of Mah-San-Pho, south of Korea. No troops have been landed It is accepted as practically settled that Russia will not evacuate parts of Manchuria October 8, the date fixed for the evacuation. The Russian ambassador to Japan, Baron de Rosen, who has plenary powers, is now negotiating with the foreign minister at Tokio. There is reason to believe that the possible basis of a solution of the difficulty is Russia conceding Japan a foothold in Korea. Stole $6,000 and a Steamer. MANILA.—(Special.)

The commission appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate the condition of affairs at the immigration bureau on Ellis Island, under the administration of Commissioner Williams, began testimony Monday. The chief complaint is based on lack of room. A petition in bankruptcy was filed Monday in New York against Abraham M. Eisenberg, an importer of furs. The assets are placed at $125,000 and liabilities twice that sum. Eisenberg recently was connected with theatrical enterprises in New York. It was decided by the trunk line grain committee in New York Monday to extend the present reduced grain rate between Buffalo and New York to November 15. From November 16, however, to November 30, inclusive, the rate will be advanced one-half cent a bushel.

LOWER NEW YORK IS BEING FLOODED Water Ten Feet Deep in Street of Paterson, N. J.—Train Service Suspended and Thousands of New Jersey Commuters Forced to Spend the Night in New York. NEW YORK.—(Special.) Torrential rain, commencing early Friday morning and continuing with scarcely any intermission until late in the afternoon, during which time the unprecedented precipitation of 10.04 inches was recorded at the local weather bureau, laid New York City and all the surrounding country under a flood, causing damage that will amount to many hundred thousand dollars. The rain ceased, but a coast storm is reported to be approaching and a threatened hurricane renders it unsafe for vessels of any class to leave port. Along all the river front and in many sections of Brooklyn cellars were flooded and an enormous amount of damage done. A great portion of the subway was badly flooded. Suburban steam and trollly lines, with hardly an exception, were crippled by floods and washouts and in the early morning rush hours thousands of suburban residents were unable to reach their offices in the city. Those who were fortunate enough to cross the ferries found further progress blocked by the submerged condition of the water front streets, across which they were ferried in trucks and wagons. Reports of extensive floods and serious damage to property and interruptions of traffic came from almost all sections of New Jersey and Long Island. In Newark, Passaic and other large manufacturing centers many factories were closed down owing to the flooding of engine rooms. In many places electric light and power plants were shut down for the same reason. A dam on the Ramapo river at Pompton broke, flooding the valley for ten miles but causing no loss of life. Paterson was one of the worst sufferers and for a time there was grave danger of a repetition of the terrible disaster of last February. The flood is subsiding and all danger is believed to be over. A great part of the city was laid under water and scores of great plants, including those of the Rogers Locomotive works and the Passaic Steel Company, were flooded and shut down, involving a loss estimated at fully $1,000,000. EIGHT YEARS FOR DIPPOLD. German Tutor Wheipped Pupil to Death Gets Light Sentence BERLIN.—(Special.) The trial at Bayreuth of Andrea Dippold, a tutor, who tied Heinz Koch, 14 years old, son of Director Koch, of the Deutsche bank, to a bed and whipped him to death, ended Friday. Dippold was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. While the dead boy's younger brother, Joachim, testified to unnamable tortures inflicted on himself and on his brothers, the persons in court were roused to such a pitch of fury that they cursed and threatened the prisoner, who was hastily removed by the officials, as lynching was feared. Joachim avowed, and the medical experts agreed, that Dippold was more debased than the London fiend who has been termed "Jack the Ripper." The case attracts intense interest as a psychological study. Preparing for Czar's Visit. ROME.—(Special.) Russian police officials have arrived here and are conferring with the police for the protection of the czar during his visit to King Victor Emmanuel, which is expected to begin October 26. Following the example of the French authorities in respect to the anarchists of Marseilles, it is expected that a number of suspects in Rome will be arrested. Several Italian police officials have been sent to Paris to assist in guarding King Victor Emmanuel while he is in that city, where he is expected to arrive October 14. After the Colorado Militia. CRIPPLE CREEK, COL.—(Special.) In the district court information was filed against Brigadier General John Chase, Adjutant General Sherman Bell and Major Thomas E. McClelland in behalf of P. H. Mulvaney, W. F. Davis, Thomas Foster, Emil Johnson and A. A. Frye, striking miners, accusing them of unlawful arrest and detention in the military guardhouse. Old Mystery Cleared Up DULUTH.—(Special.) The skeleton of William Makee, identified by means of his teeth, has been found in the woods near Knife river, and a mystery of ten years is thus cleared up. Makee, who was a horseman, came to Duluth from Bellefontaine, O., and about ten years ago went with a hunting party out on the Cloquet river. Makee left the hunting party one day, saying he was going to Duluth and that a balloon was waiting for him in a nearby clearing. That was the last seen of him alive. There is more Catarin in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the time of the great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it a national disease.

At St. Mary's church, Grundsburg, Eng, on a recent Sunday, eight members of the Norwich Diocesan Association rang upon the bells of the church a true and complete peal of Bob Major. When it is considered that this consists of 5.040 distinct changes and occupied the performers two hours and fifty-three minutes, it must be regarded as a feat of considerable endurance. Turf for Fuel An English-Irish syndicate has been formed for the purpose of removing one of the worst evils with which Irish industrial development was afflicted, viz., dear coal. The industrial difficulties due to the absence of coal in Ireland are to be removed by the use of turf, in which the island abounds. This is to be cut, dried and pressed into bricks. Housesmiths. The "housemiths" are those iron workers who put together the steel skeleton frames which are now used in the construction of all large buildings. Easy to Get. Pierpont, O., Oct. 5th.—Remarkable indeed is the experience of Mr. A. S. Turner, a man now over seventy one years of age, and whose home is here. For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that very often bothers aged people. He would have to get up four or five times every night, and this very tiresome disease was fast wearing him out. At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief, he stumbled over a medicine which relieved him almost immediately, and has cured him permanently. It is so very easy to get and so simple that Mr. Turner thinks everyone should know of it. Every dealer in the country has it, and all you have to do is to ask for Dodd's kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says:— "I can heartily and honestly recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they cured me. Several others in the family have used them too, and always with the best results. I think they have no equa." When a fellow is frozen out of a good thi. g it naturally makes him hot. Too Many Wheels. Old John Curtis, the Atchison clock tinkerer, mended a clock one day, says the Globe, and when he went to collect his pay the woman noticed that he had left one wheel out. "How is this, Mr. Curtis?" said the woman, "you have left a wheel out of the works." Curtis was anxious to get his money. "Oh, that's all right," he said, "that was what was the matter with it."—Kansas City Journal. Motor Face in Woman Many women are discovering that "living on a motor car" is most destructive of beauty. Moderate motoring, by improving health and the capacity for sleep, enhances a woman's charms, but the hardened tourist type of 150 miles a day tans and coarsens her skin and gets crow's feet around her eyes, her face loses its suit, womanly contour and gains hardness and determination. Oil Supply Diminishes. For two years the oil consumption of the world has exceeded the production. The stock of crude Pennsylvania petroleum above ground in December, 1900, was 13,174,717 barrels, while in December, 1902, the amount thus stored was only 5,699,124 barrels. Pennsylvania has the greatest American oil field. IT'S A MISTAKE. To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades of Coffee. Many people lay all the blame for the diseases caused by coffee upon the poorer grades of coffee but this is an error as the following proves: "I have used every kind of the best grade of tea and coffee that can be got from a first class grocer but never found one that would not upset my nervous system and it was not until I began to drink Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee and tea that I had relief from the terrific attacks of nervous sick headache from which I had suffered for 30 years. "I had tried all kinds of medicines but none helped me. "Soon after I stopped drinking coffee and began to drink Postum the headaches grew less and it was not long until I was entirely cured and I have never had a return of this distressing trouble for nowadays I never drink coffee but stick to Postum. "As soon as my wife saw what Postum had done for me she gave up coffee, which she had drank all her life. This was six weeks ago and she is a changed woman, for her nervousness has all disappeared and her race has become smooth and her cheeks have a good rosy red color. She sleeps well, too, something she could never do while she drank coffee. We consider Postum a household necessity in my house and have induced many friends to try this wonderful food drink in place of coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Kansas Notes the tornado which swept over Greenwood county Wednesday night has so far escaped being called a "cyclone." The river congress, incidentally, affords Senator Burton an opportunity to reaffirm his theory about putting the flood waters in cold storage. Billy Morgan calls upon the politicians to quit "rocking the boat," although it is pointed out that he is one of the few who are able to swim. The Anti-Horsethief society met in Lawrence recently. The usual Lawrence resolutions condemning Quantrell and pledging loyalty to the flag were adopted by a rising vote. That must be a mistake about Atchison abandoning its efforts to tap the coal vein on account of water. The coal is there, and Atchison is not going to be defeated by a little thing like water. The district court of Sumner county is to be called upon to decide who is entitled to the office of county attorney. Last July Emera Wilson, who held the office, disappeared, and was supposed to have committed suicide, and Governor Bailey appointed Mr. Burnette to succeed him. Later Wilson returned. The county commissioners have paid the salary, amounting to $375, into the court and will let the claimants fight it out. Antonio Galenicei, who runs a fruit stand in Atchison, feels pessimistic about the future of the fruit industry in Atchison, the Globe says. He was blue when a reporter passed his stand the other day. He said: "American he wanna know how mucha da pare. I tella him two fi' cent. He eat up one and say pare no good, and he donta want. Dam. He tasta da peach and through on sidewalk, and I gotta clean up. Dam. He say he call again when I gotta something eat. Kerambo! I buy lots banan on account cool weather, and sun come down hot and rot al banan. Dam. I buy first grapes in season and put all over front stand, and see where mekka big mom. Swarn bees lita on grapes and stingga my hands, and I gotta drink quart whisky. Whope! Full whisky and show case, and policeman mekka me pay fi' dollar in police court. Dam. American quitta eat fruit and eata free lunch. Dam. And then, Kerambo! Worsta all, and on toppa everything, I gotta brekka my face tryin' speakka the language." It must worry the Rev. Bernard Kelley, when he goes to a Grand Army reunion, to know whether to greet those he meets as "Comrade" or "Brother." W. H. Biddle who was the state treasurer during the Lewelling administration, now runs a hotel in a new railroad town in Oklahoma. You can't keep a good man down. The most remarkable thing about the get-rich-quick concern which collapsed in Peoria a few days ago is that the suckers who invested in it may get as much as seventy-five cents on the dollar. Ex-Governor Morrill says that Kansas more than comes up to his most extravagant expectations. "I never expected to live to see the day," he says, "when money would be freely lent at 5 per cent, or that ordinary farming land would bring $75 an acre." "Manhattan's upper ten never reports anything nowadays that's anything less than a five-course dinner," says the Minneapolis Messenger. "Minneapolis still sticks to the good old way of putting the gravy and other things along with the fried chicken." Judge Smart of Ottawa has made a decree which is thought to be without precedent in the history of American jurisprudence. He has ordered the juryroom cleaned out, and it will be flushed each year hereafter. Lawrence has an anti-trust campaign. All of the hacktown have entered into an agreement not to trust the university students. Major T. J. Anderson has resigned from the presidency of the Topeka Choral society, but promises to sing, as heretofore, on the slightest provocation. The Eldorado Republican quotes a girl as asking: "Say, daddy, do all married people fight?" Then it quotes Old Henpeck as answering the question as follows: "No, daughter. Occasionally the husband gingers up a little at the start, but he soon quits and stays quit, but as a rule the masterful wife so manages things that the husband is content to do as he is told, with no back talk. Married life, to a man, is one long, sweet dream of submission and resignation; a gentle yielding to the properly constituted authority; obedience of compliance to the family government; a constant acknowledgment of inferiority. So, my daughter, married life is even more than it is cracked up to be." The Wichita Eagle still quotes Irishmen as saying "bedad" and "faith." They are scattering pizen all over Kansas, and, of course, there are a great many foolish dogs that will grab onto the stuff because they hadn't better sense. Let 'em go ahead; let 'em do their darnest; they can't win. The people of Kansas are onto this bunch of red-handed boss bustin' hounds, whose only desire is to ruin the Republican party of Kansas or get their dirty muzzles into the political trough." are as far ahead of the old fashioned Dyes as electricity is of a Rush light candle.

Boy's Touching Gratitude. As a tribute of gratitude for having restored him to health, Walter Carr Byrd, seven years old, recently donated the munificent sum of 52 cents to Jefferson hospital in Philadelphia. It was the first public contribution ever received by the institution, and Acting Superintendent Gregg was as much pleased as though some multimillionaire had bestowed a princely benefaction. It is calculated that the number of timber sleepers on the railways of the world does not fall far short of 1,495,000,000, and a low estimate of their value is $300,000,000. This alone constitutes a serious drain on the timber supplies of the world. Japan's Best Customer. During each of the last five years the United States has bought more of the products of Japan than any other country, and more than all Europe, yet British India and Great Britain each sell more to Japan than does the United States. Storekeepers report that the extra quantity, together with the superior quality of Defiance Starch makes it next to impossible to sell any other brand. The man who contributes to a church fund does so as a guarantee of good faith. Mrs. Winslow's 500-litre Syrup For children together, softens the grims, reduces inflammation, always pain, cures wind soiling. 25c a bottle. When a mother looks at her boy in his new clothes, it is not to admire, but to jump him about the spots. Hundreds of dealers say the extra quantity and superior quality of Defiance Starch is fast taking place of all other brands. Others say they cannot sell any other starch.
