Topeka. Kan. Nov 26.-'I have been
a Republican all my life, and expect
to die a Republican. but I want to go
on record as saying that the abuse
which certain Republican papers and
politicians are heaping upon Kansas
simply because the state has gone for
the Populists is a species of scoundrel-
ism which should be denounced by eve

THAT INDOOR GAME

Liyhts q Michigan Lost

Chicago. Nov. 27.-In the big building
in which five months ago W. J. Bryan
was nominated for the presidency. 10,
900 cheering football enthusiasts saw
the eleven of the University of Chicago
defeat the strong force from the Uni
versity of Michigan in one of the most
desperately contested games ever play
ed in Chicago. The result was sur
prise to everybody.
The score was z to 0.
One thing at least was settled by the
game and that is. that indoor football
is. literally and figuratively speaking,
a bowling success. The men had no
trouble in catching punts and football
was played on its merits, without the
handicaps of a wet field, or a strong
wind Toward the end Of the second
half il got very dark. and the specta-
tors were treated to a novelty in the
shape OF football by electric light.
