Independent Eleven Ready to
Meet the Soldiers.
Topekans Can See the Game and
Eat Turkey.
THE WEST SIDE SHOOT.
Four Hundred Live Birds Sc
cured for the Tourney.
The Kansas Game LaW-Other
Sporting News.

The strongest eleven ever sent out by
Topeka will go against the soldiers from
Fort Riley on Thanksgiving Day. 1t is
composed of experienced players, who
do we'll individually. and it is expected
that by Thursday they will understand
each other we'll enough to com bine their
efforts to the best advantage 1t is to
the credit of these gentlemen that they
will not allow the entire season to pass
without game being played by Topeka
men.
The game will be played at Athletic
park, and deserves large attendance,
which it will doubtless have. While
many of the cranks of the deepest dye
will attend the Kansas Missouri game in
Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day, those
who do not care to go SO far TO see a con-
test, but like to couple the excitement of
a game with the pleasure OF eating their
turkey at home, will be glad of this
chance.
The regulars from the fort promise to
be entirely worthy the steel of the To-
peka boys, and it is d mooted question
which will use the steel the most. Some
West Pointers are on the team who
learned the game at school which can
give pointers to major college elevens.
The men of war have used up two teams
this season, sizzling around the gridiron
with them to the tune of 80 to 0. and 16
to 0. From letters received it is believed
that the contest will be clean, free from
slugging and rough playing.
The Topeka men are in good condition
and are practicing their plays ghtly.
They are handicapped by having to play
against the air, but good teams have
been made this way, as the great coach,
A. a. Stage, has demonstrated.
TIE lineup of Topeka will probably
be: Stahl, right end; Bischoff, right
tackle; Rice, right guard; Anderson, cen
ter; Watkins, left guard; Grainor, left
tackle; Harrison. left end; Gugel quar-
ter; Evans, right half; Cain, left half;
Curry. full.
This list is liable to be changed some
what and the others who may be put in
are: Coughlin, end; Bennett, quarter;
Aiken, half back; MCGEE and Holt
The personnel of the team is an assur-
ance Of good playing. OF the backs
Frank Curry will be remembered for his
running and sensational tackling for the
T, A. A. in. the 7. A. A-Y n. c. A. game
last year. Clarence EvsRs is one of the
best l1ickers and tackIers anywhere, while
''Scotty" Cain is ground gamer, both
through the line and around the end.
Frank Gugel at quarter is coaching the
team.
In the lines Stahl is a small Washburn
boy who tackles low and hard; Chas. Rice
and Charles Trainor both played star en-
gagements with the T. A. AS last winter;
the other forwards are experienced while
Rassie Bennett and Coughlin have
played the game for years.
In order to allow justice to be done to
the Thanksgiving turkey the game will
not be called until $3.50. Chrysanthe-
NUNS will be proper. and if the weather
is pleasant there is expected to be a large
number of traps and a coaching party or
two at the game.

would go to work and try to make some
money"
After a pleasant little chat in which
Osbon discussed journalism and other
topics, the reporter babe good day to the
prisoner.
Osbon is very friendly to newspaper
men, and is willing to talk to them by
the hour on all subjects except that of
his great trouble. And he shows wisdom
in not giving his thoughts and plans
publication.
The two Handle brothers have ar
rived to assis. in the prosecution of Os-
bon. Their sister, a pretty brown eyed
girl. is with them. The Handles are
confident of a conviction this time They
have been working hard on the case
since the trial last May, and they feel
confident that no stone has been left IN
turned
They insist that the Osbon girls char
acter was as bad as it could possibly be.
They claim, however, that Charles Ham
bic, the murdered man, was not guilty
of any crime against the girl. They say
that Handle never paid her anything
for her services but once, and that was
$40 in a railroad suit She was not in
his employ, they say.
eve are law abiding men," said one of
the Handles to a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter. 1--WE could get 500 men from any
of those counties up around Jackson to
come right down here now and take that
man out of the Jail. But we have said
that we are law bidding, and would not
allow it."
The Handles are very indignant over
the way Sheriff Hindman let Osbon have
the freedom of the jail building. "Why,
my sister was anxious to see the man,
said Mr.. Ham BILE, land who should she
meet at the door but Osbon. She expec-
ted to see him behind the bars"

for the publication of the latest Kansas

PIrTsBURG, Kan, Nov. o5.-At 3
o'clock yesterday morning fire was
discovered in the large clothing and
gents furnishing store of Morris Har-
ris. Before it was subdued the stock
was practically total loss, the dam
age from both fire and water being
heavy. The stock was valued at about
S45. 900 and the loss will reach fully
S35, 900.
1t is thought the fire was of in
cendiary origin. There is no way
now to tell what insurance the owner
carried, as he is away from home.

ANNUAL SCARE.
Pelagic Sealing in the Behring
Sea Alarming.
Thousands Of Seals Being
WantOnly Killed.
WILL RUIN SEALING.
Killing Females Kills Thou
sands of Young.
Loss to the Commercial World
is Immense.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Infcrmation
reaches here that the revenue cutter
Bear, the last government vessel to leave
the Behring sea, has just brought down
some startling evidence of the effect of
pelagic sealing upon the Alaskan seal
herd, which frequents the Pribyloff, or
seal islands.
In accordance with the finding of the
Paris arbitration schooners are now per-
mitted to hunt seals in Behring sea with
spears in zone sixty miles around the
islands from the 1st of August. 1t was
thought that confining sealing schooners
to spears and reducing the season 20
practically five or six weeks would stop
the slaughter in Behring sea and allow
the herd to recuperate.
This year not less than sixty schooner5
began hunting in Behring sea Aug. /,
and captured nearly 10000 pelts, about
80 per cent of which were females. This
does not show the full extent of the in
jury done. The seal pups are dependent
on their mothers milk for the first four
or five months of their existence and
without it must suffer starvation. Acting
under instructions of their respective
superiors both resident treasury officers
and agents of the North American COM
mercial company made a count of the
dead pups found at the close of the sea-
son when the sealing schooners had left
the sea. The census was just completed
when the Bear left and reached ~
900 and does not include those in
the last stages of starvation. The same
conditions prevailed last year. The
actual pecuniary loss to the United
needless waste of animals will reach

THIEVES IN STATE HOUSE.
An OVercoat Stolen From n State House
Janit0r Today,

The overcoat thieves who have been
doing business in Topeka since the cold
weather set in, invaded the state house
this morning.
About ten o'clock this forenoon some
one broke open closet on the basement
floor of the state house and stole an over
coat belonging to D. F. Grimes the jani-
tor. who was last week promoted to
position as fireman.
The thief probably figured that Grimes
wouldn't need his overcoat as fireman
and could keep warm shoveling coal.
Grimes says he paid $25 for the over
coat last winter. The lock on the closet
door was broken.
