Iowa Will Meet Kansas on the
Lawrence Gridiron
Saturday ACKNOWLEDGES and
Exciting Game Anticipated.
OTHER SPORTINGNEWS
Tons Of Carp Taken from an
Atchison County Pond.
Result Of Saturdays Important
Football Games.

The first western inter collegiate foot
ball game will be played in Lawrence on
the McCook athletic field, next Satur-
day afternoon, between Kansas state uni
versity aud Iowa state university.
The game will no doubt attract a large
crowd of people from Topeka. The west
ern inter collegiate foot ball league is
composed of the state universities of
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.
Next Saturday is the opening day of the
league season. Ga that day Kansas
meets Iowa at Lawrence, and Missouri
meets Nebraska at Columbia, Mo.
The second league games occur on
Nov. 16. at which time Kansas meets
Nebraska at Lincoln, Neb.. and Missouri
meets Iowa at Iowa City, la. Then on
Thanksgiving Day the final games are
played.
Kansas and Missouri meet on the
gridiron at Kansas City for d contest of
honors. On that day, also, Iowa meets
Nebraska at Lincoln, Neh.
It is hard to tell at this time much
about the relative merits of the teams,
but from present indications it is safe to
say that the pennant will be singled
down to Kansas and Missouri.
Missouri is making heroic effort to
beat Kansas this year pap" Bliss, of
Yale, is coaching the team. and large
sum of money has been expended upon
the team.
Kansas has the strongest team that
has been collected for some years, and
some of the enthusiasts claim that it is
the best that the state university has ever
had.
The game next Saturday will be called
at 3 p. IN. on McCook athletic field,
which is the property of the state uni
versitv.
The Iowa team has been strengthened
by the addition OF three of the best play
ers from the state agricultural college of
Iowa
Kansas will put her regular team An the
field, and the game will not only be holly
contested. but will show something of the
merits of the team.
When team representing the stlte of
Kansas meets a team representing an
other state every one should be lo1al to
their own state and lay aside college
favoritism.
Without doubt the K S .. team is the
best in the state and is we'll fitted to rep
resent the state in contest.
A large crowd will attend from To-
peka, as will also from Atchison, Leaven-
worth and Kansas City. Iowa will send
down a lot of students TO yell for their
football team, but their will be a much
larger crowd to swell the breeze with
the stirring "rock chalk, jay hawk, &.

QUIET NOW AT TIFFIN.



T1FFIN, o., Oct. 2S.-Indications point
today to Il speedy termination of the
trouble caused by the riot Sunday morn
ing. A conference of the civil and mill
tary authorities has been held and il has
been decided to Withdraw the militia
tomorrow morning.
Further trouble has been anticipated
after the funerals of the victims, Muchler
aud Metz. but it is thought this can be
prevented by having private funerals.
Rev Father Puets today wired Bishop
Horstman at Cleveland asking for
dispensation to that end
in the case of Mueller aud the request
will doubtless be granted.
One of the largest crowds Tiffin has
ever witnessed will be here tonight, be-
ing drawn here partially by the Camp
bell meeting and partially by a desire to
see the scenes of the recent mob violence

CONVENTION IN JUNE.
Mr.. Carter Gives Reason to BaIieve 1t Will
He the Last of June.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Carter,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, was questioned today
as to the probable time of
holding the rext Republican con-
vention. He said he had not
conferred with the members of the COM
mittee in regard to the date but as six
months notice must be given of the date
after she meeting of the committee. the
convention could not be called earlier
than about the middle of June.
He thought however. that it would be
the general desire not to have the con
vention meet until after the adjourn
ment OF congress and he did not think
it probable that congress would be
ready to adjourn until about the
middle of June. a fair inference frcm
Senator Carriers remarks are that the
convention would not be called to meet
earlier than the last Of June.

Hulse and Messrs. Bird & Rodman have
undertaken 10 make of the car a thing
of beauty which will astonish the people
when it Is completed.
The car will be an example of what
can be done with smaller vehicles on
Flower Day of next September's festi-
val.
The entire car will first be covered
with fine wire network. On this will
be fastened thousands of sprigs of aspar
agus fern, until a solid green back
ground is made Then upon this featL-
cry background, garlands of carnations,
roses and other flowers will be draped,
tied artistically with bright colored rib
bons.
Mr.. r 5. Brigham has kindly volun-
teered to paint the banners which will
cover the windows. 1hey will be models
of his art and will be beautiful designs
10 match the rest of the decorations.
The trolley of the car will be mass of
futtering parti-colored streamers.

interior of the car on Monday. The seats
Will be re-cushioned, large mirrors in
serted at each end of the car, electric
lights Furnished up, rugs laid down. and

ductor on the car, will wear the regula-
ton color Of the conductors uniform
with cap and steel plate and will don the
fare register and ring up fares like a

Members of the mandolin clubs have
been engaged as an orchestra, musical
friends of the project having offered
their services in sufficient numbers to
insure music during the entire running
time of the car.
The route of the car will be shortened
SO that it will be run from Gordon street
to Tenth and back. This will enable it
to carry more passengers than a longer
route. twenty-five hundred tickets
have been issued, but cash will be &C.
copied gladly.
Contributions are beginning to flow in
already: net in nickels, but in more sub
stantial sums.
Mr.. Carroll B. Merriam has the honor

to wager that over $500 will be realized.
1t is to be hoped he is good prophet as
the Home has need of the money.

of Political Quarrel.
KINGMAN, Oct. 28.-The political stu
alton in Kingman county has become
very peculiar. Some months ago a
family named Whitmer were taken from
their home by masked men, and their
place robbed. A number of arrests
were made and the cases are now in the
kingman county court. Incendiaries
have now set fire to the Whitmer hay
stacks, granary and lot of household
goods and implements stored in the
barn, all Of which were destroyed.
The hingman Leader Courier says
politics was at the bottom of the out
rage, as the Whitmers were strong Re
pUtl.cans and had been prosecuted be-
fore on that account
The loss to Mr.. Whi,mer is about ST, :
GEO. He is in bad health, and in poor
condition financially.
