Mention of the name of Hon. David
Overmyer as the Democratic nominee
for governor next year, seems to meet
with general favor with Democrats over
the state. The fact that he took no STOCK
in fusion will not be to his discredit.

Kansas at Chicago.

From the Emporia Republican.
Kansas week at the worlds fair was a
great event. Except the Yorld's fair
itself, there was nothing like it. The
sunfiower is made not only the emblem
of Kansas, but of the world. Another
thing was demonstrated-that the peo-
pie of Kansas have the longest heads and
the smallest feet of any people in the
world. Kansas took the worlds fair by
storm. and for the time oyershadowed
all other interests.

HARVARD ISM GOOD FORM.

The Eleven is Ready to Play a Kick
Excellent Work Done In the Last
Day of Practice.
BosToN, Nov. 22.-This afternoon the
Harvard eleven took its final work before
the great battle of Saturday. 1t was OF
much the same order as usual, though OF
shorter duration. In the morning the
members went out for short practice in
punting, drop kicking and catching. II
was muddy, and they cut 1t short. In the
afternoon the teams went down to the field
at the usual time, where they were put
through the final work. In the first place
the two elevens lined up apart from one
another, and went through their own plays.
1t Is an interesting fact that the two
elevens have an entirely different set of
plays, and the signals, of course, are diff
ferent. This makes the second eleven like
strange team to the varsity. After they
had perfected their signals and plays for
considerable time the two teams lined up
against each other for the last struggle.
The play was snsppy and good on both
sides.
1t is we'll understood that Beale will play
at quarter back, having been chosen for his
remarkably good work during the past few
weeks. In kicking and catching the Har-
wards have wonderfully improved, and

those points. Harvard is ready for kick.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The ways and
means committee, 1t is understood, have
agreed to the wooden schedule of the new
tariff bill. On manufactures of wool, such
as yarns, blankets, clothing, carpets, etc +,
1t was expected that the pending measure
would follow the general lines of the
Springer bill, which passed the house in
the Fifty-second congress. The schedules
as agreed upon, however, is said to differ
radically from the Springer bill, but in
what particulars the committee refuses to
state.
Mr.. Mcmillan, having in charge the in
ternal revenue schedule, was asked to-day
to incorporate in the tariff bill provision
requiring license from every person COM
ing to this country for the purpose of SELL
ing or soliciting orders for goods, such IL
censes to cost 81, 900 a year. George q.
Ely, president of the Western Iron Ore
committee protest against placing iron
ore on the free list. Mr.. Ely says about
go per cent. of the pig iron made in the
United States comes out of Lake Superior
ores.
There ia apparently no doubt that the
committee has placed iron ore on the free
list and that wool, coal and satin conform
ity with the democratic policy of free raw
material, will 30 be found there when the
bill Ia made public. The statement made
last week that the whiskey tax might not
exceed 81 gallon has brought forth a
storm of protests to the committee from
the Young Mems Christian association and
the Women's Christian Temperance union
in Iowa and Illinois. who want the tax
raised to ST. so.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-The annual auction
sale of cotton goods for Bliss, Fabayn &
Co. was held TO day at the auction rooms
of Wilmerding, Morris & Mitchell, No. "a
White street. These Gales are held each
year for the purpose of feeling the trade of
the country. Last year 43 900 packages were
sold. This year only 16, 900 packages were
offered. The reason for this, Colonel Bliss
said, was that most of the large mills have
been running on half time for long time
back. He stated that q, 900 workingmen
were watching to days eale, as 1t would
probably decide whether they would have
good winters work, or whether the ma
jority of the largest mills In the eastern
states, of which Bliss, Fsbayn Il Co. are
the agents, would shut down.
The suction rooms were crowded and
the bidding was the most spirited which
has ever characterized these ssles. All the
large firms from all over the country were
represented. The goods were sold on -four
months bills, dated March 1. The stock
comprised bleached and unbleached pep
