X. s. U. Faculty Incensed Over
Action of Nebraskans.
Chancellor Snow Does Not Fa.
VOr Another Game.
May Result in tne Annual Debate 3 e
tween Kansas and Nebraska Be-
ing Declared Off

Lawrence, Nov. 16.-The sentiment of
the faculty of the Kansas university
has been somewhat divided on the
question of football, with majority in
favor of the game. but it is doubtful
II majority can long be had if there
should ever be a repetition of the Ne
braSka episode. Both faculty and stu
dents and citizens as we'll unite in con-
demninS the action of Nebraska in Sat
urdayS game. It was rumored today
that the Nebraska-Kansas debate would
pc canceled on account of the diScOur
teous treatment recorded against Ne
braska at Saturdays game, and a meet
ing of the faculty has been called for
Manager McKinnie stoutly procIaims
there was no game because the contest
was called on account of darkness. and
viii appeal to the league in support of
his claims.
Coach Woodruff shares the same be-
hef. 'There must be two halves of S.
minutes each, said he. I'VE were will
ing TO play on We didn't refuse to
play. The game was called on account
of darkness. That wasn't. our fault If
they hadn't spared for time and killed
time in every way by wrangling and
telgninS that they were hurt after eve
ry play, we could have finished the
game in plenty of time and my word
for it the score would have been far
them at any time and anywhere that
we can play without unfair interior
ence.
Chancellor Snow said of it: 'I re-
greet exceedingly that the Nebraska
boys saw fit to treat our boys in the
d1scOurteOus manner it seems they did
College football is a manly game and
should be so played, and if our BOYS
can't go away from home and receive
courteous and fair treatment, they had
better stay at hOme.I trust that future
games in which our boys engage will be
entirely free from such treatment as
the Nebraska boys gave our team If
we cannot have a friendly contest with
our nefghbors L am not in favor of hav-
ing any,
Treasurer Moody said: "Our treat
ment by the Nebraska people was out
rageOuS in the extreme. One man met
US at the depot and took US to the
cheapest hotel in Lincoln, made US walk
to the game and then refused to pay
our actual expenses when we went to
leave. 1t is the same old trick Three
years ago they played here. Cornell, of
Lincoln, and Wilson, of Omaha had
been selected to umpire and referee the
game Without consulting us they no
titled them not to come, and after hold
ing the game an hour, we had to choose
officials from the crowd. They did the
same thing two years ago and again
last year. 1 don't think the faculty
will prohibit football, but the public can
rest assured we will never play with
N6bra Ska again -

VIM. May of st. Pauls, Placed Under
Bond Till the Question Can
Be SettIed.

VIM May of St. PauIs, formerly
Usage Mission, has been placed under
$1,000 bonds, according to reports re-
ceived by Bank Commissioner Breiden-
thai, for alleged violations of the state
banking law.
Some time ago, the state bank, which
was being conducted by May, relin-
pushed it's charter because of prOvis-
ions found in the new banking law
which were distasteful to him. Soon
thereafter Mr.. May started what he
termed a. brokerage business, although
he issued a form of check which was
used under the name of William May
&. CO.. He also received deposits, and
Mr.. Breidenthal determined to exam
inc the institution, claiming that it
was a private bank.
Examiner NJ. A. Waterman went to
St. Pauls to make the examination, but
Mr.. May refused to permit him to do
so. The controversy which followed
resulted in the prosecution of Mr.. May
by the county attorney of Labette
county. An interesting contest over
the new banking law is anticipated, as
Mr.. May is a man of means and claims
that he has INDUCED in no violations
of the law, and that he is enga ged in a
brokerage business over which the
state bank commissioner has no right
to exercise control.

HUNG AN INNOCENT MAN
That is the Charge MadeAgainst
the North Dakota Lynchers.

Grand Forks. N. D.. Nov. 16.-''An in
nocent man was hung by the lynchers at
Williamsport," was the startling state
ment made today by Chief Justice Cor
Iiss of the state supreme court Il have
ample documentary evidence to prove the
statement" continued the judge. THE
supreme court ordered a new trial in COu-
dots case because it appeared that he
was convicted on the uncorrobOrated evil
dence of Holy Track and Ireland, both
of whom confessed to taking part in
the murder of the Spicer family and
whose statements were refuted by the
strong alibi testimony given by DR.. Ross,
the resident agency physician at Stand
ing Rock. DR.. Ross veracity is unques-
toned and his testimony is supported by
notes from his memorandum book. An
other fact is that Holy Track and Ire
land made two other previous confess
sions, in neither of which did they impli-
cate Coudot. Holy Track and Ireland
were sure to have expiated their crime
on the gaIlows, as there is no question of
their guilt but the mob made no distinc-
ton and hung the innocent with the gull
ty The lynching of Coudot is foul
crime and a blot on the fair name of the
state, and his murderers should not go
unpublished"

NEW L. A W. OFFICERS.
j. L. Bishop, Chief Consul, j. 3. Don
cyson, Vice and Reichenback,
Treasurer

The mail vote of the Kansas division
of the L. A. w. closed last night after
the distribution of the matter that ar
rived on the mail at $50.
The voting has caused but little eX-
element in and around Topeka but in
the western part of the state it has
caused no little rivalry for the places
of respectives.
For the three offices of the division
there was but one candidate for each
and they were elected without opposi-
ton except that in some instances the
tickets were scratched.
John L. Bishop of Salina received 1872
votes for chief consul, J. B. Doncyson
of Topeka, received 40 votes for vice
Topeka, received 1856 votes for secreta-
ry-treasurer.
o. K. Leigh of Hutchinson, received
129 votes for representative and was
declared elected. A. NJ. Balm of Leav-
enWOrth, received 104 votes and was de-
clared elected. A. E. Maxwell of Pitts
burg surprised. nearly everyone and re-
ceiVed 81 votes. G. L. ZutaVen of Great
Bend, received As votes.
There are at present SOB active mem
berS in the Kansas division of the L. A
w. According to the figures about two
and two-thirds voted. While this is a
small vote it is better than the aver
age. At the last election in New York
only one-fifth voted.
Mr.. Bishop who will succeed MI. RObt.
Manley as chief consul is an active
league member and it is expected that
he will build up the membership in
before the close of his term. Mr.. Bish-
op has promised the league members
that he will hustle and a better cOndi-
ton of affairs may be looked for.

DREYFUS is INNOCENT,
So Declares a Member of the French
Senate-Says He Can Prove It

Paris. Nov 16.-N Schuerer-Kestne
one of the vice presidents of the senate,
who has been agitating for a reopening of
the case of Alfred Dreyfus, the former
captain of artillery now undergoing a
sentence of imprisonment for selling i'm
portant French military plans to agents
of the Afghan power, has written a let
ter to the newspapers in which he as
serts that on October 80 he presented to
the French minister of war, General BIZ
lot documents proving the prisoner innO~
cent.
NJ. Schuerer-Kes adds that the min
lister promised to make an inquiry into
the matter and also undertook to com
municate to NJ. Schuerer- Kestner the re-
sult within a fortnight. pledging the lat
ter to silence in the meanwhile. COntin-
uing, NJ. Schuerer-Kestner explains that
this is the reason of his misunderstood
silence. but as the fortnight has elapsed
without the minister of war conmunicat-
ing with him, he now repeats, without
fear of contradiction, that he showed the
minister documents which easily estab-
lished the culpability of another than
Dreyfus. The letter of NJ. Schuerer-
Kestner caused considerable excitement
in the Hobbies of the chamber of depu~
ties and it is expected the cabinet viii
discuss the situation and issue a pro-
nouncement on the subject.

GERMANY LAND TROOPS
Will Force China to Make I'm
mediate Preparation for
Murdered Mission
aries.

Cologne, Nov. ia dispatch to the Co.
Iogne Gazette from Berlin says the sail
ors and marines belonging to the German
cruiser division, off the coast of China
have made a landing in force at Kiaochan
bay, the nearest port to Yen Chu Flu, in
the southern part OF the Chinese prov
ince of Shan Tun, where the German mis-
sionaries We're recently murdered, with
the view of forcing the government of
China to completely satisfy the demands
of Germany.
Berlin, Nov. 16.-The Neuste Naichrich-
ten, referring to the landing in force at
Kiaochan bay, province of Shan Tun,
China, says:
"Kiaochan bay will furnish an excellent
base for the German fleet in east Asia
waters. 1t has long been regarded in
German commercial circles as a worthy
object of German ambition. Moreover.
as the English interest lie farther south
and the Russian farther north, German
occupation of the bay need not affect
them. Germany did not join France and
Russia in settling the differences between
China and the Japanese in order to
strengthen Russian and French interests,
but rather to promote her own, which
can only be secured by the occupation of
a harbor suitable for the German mer-
camille marine and navy"
The Post declares that the government
intends to press its claims against China
in the most emphatic manner and also
to demand guarantees against a repeti-
ton of such outrages.
London, Nov. 16.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
1.-The German cruiser division at KiaO-
chan bay consists of the flagship Kaiser,
with GA men; the second class cruisers
Irene and Princess William, each with
365 men, and the third class cruiser
Acorn, with 26s men. The division is
under the command of Rear Admiral Won
Diedrich 1t is doubtful that the occu-
patton of Kioachan, if effected, will last
long. as Russia has been negotiating for
the cession of Kiaochan bay and Tsia
bay, in order to use them as naval ports

HAWAII'S ONLY HOPE
Lies in Annexation, Says President
Dole-Must Go to United States
or Japan.

New York. Nov. ia dispatch to
the World from Honolulu dater Octo-
Der % says:
Sanford B. Dole, president of the pro-
visional republic of Hawaii, and Chief
Justice Judd are anxious to have the
Hawaiian annexation treaty ratified
as soon as possible. Said President Dole
to the World reporter:
The people will never again submit
to a monarchy. In fact, there is no
one sufficiently enjoying the confidence
of the people of the island to conduct
the affairs of state under a monarchy"
why do they not desire to continue
as an independent republic?' he was
asked.
las the islands are so far away from
other countries and as the Asiatic pop
ulatlon is fast increasing in numbers,
it is a serious question, if they are
left alone, whether the republic could
survive with the willing consent of the
foreigners. Besides, if the United
States has constantly to protect the is
lands under the present government
why should not the United States take
them altogether? This is a great
country for commerce. It is the nat
ural land for American ownership. To
can colony any way, as far as bust
ness, capital and industry are concerned
and it should be part of the body po-
little of the United States
Chief Justice Judd said in an inter
view; During the reign of King Kali
akua there We're thirty cabinets 50
dissatisfied and unstable was the king
dom. The only branch of the govern
ment that was not disturbed was the
judiciary. The restoration of the mon
archy is an impOssibility. There is no
material to make a monarchy out Of
Nor can we hope to maintain republic
Independently. We must look to the
United States. We have now come to
the turning point and we must either
become Asiatic or Anglo Saxon. Our
commerce is with the United States;
we are within the zone of American in
huence and if the United States con-
tinues to protect and assume RESPONSE
bility for us, they ought to have some
thing to saw about how our affairs
are directed"
The news that has reached here from
San Francisco that Samuel Parker, a
prominent native leader and heretofore
a strong rOyalist, has declared in IA
vOr of annexation, has created quite
sensation among natives who are still
opposed to annexation

THE PRICE WE PAY
To Satisfy the Rapacity of Pure Food
Coun terfeiters.

People value their grocer in proper
ton to his integrity in furnishing pure
food for the family use. The father Of
a family of children would have some
thing TO say if ne discovered that
harmful ingredients We're introduced
into the food bought for his little
ones use. Sickness and suffering
brought on by bad food is common. 1t
IS the price we pay to satisfy some
scoundreFs rapacity.

cheap coffee today while I was here, j"

This is the result of investigation Of
two large distributors of samples Of

Their samples taste IS vel, on slight
preparation as one could expect of O.
mixture of part coffee.
Consumers and grOcers are deceived
for a time, but the pure food sentiment
is strong in denunciation of food frauds
and it will behOOVe merchants to treat
their customers fairly and in an open
manner.
If they want coffee. sell that pure.
If they want Cereal. Coffee, sell
Postum.
It is the only cereal coffee with pal
atable coffee taste thus far produced,
and does not contain coffee or coffee
essence.
Some consumers may perhaps blend
use, but the grocer's safeguard is to
furnish pure goods and not fraudulent
connections sold under the general IL
tie of pure cereal cofees.

This is a temperance hotel I've
bought thousands of dollars worth Of
liquor for others, but don't drink my

out. No drinking here-NO buns here.
There's no gambling allowed. I've

Toledo, Ohio, Nov 16.-Confidential
circulars have been sent out by the
WOOlsOn Spice company and the Ar

concern has acceded to the original
proposition of the WoOlson company
and that in the future the State Gro
GERS association will be left out in the
cold, so far as the handling of these
two package cOffees is concerned.
The WOOlSOn circular is a canceling
of agency appointments and institut-
ing a rebate of IL cents per pound on
all coffee sold after January 1, payable
at sixty-day periods.
A concession is made in the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, IL

North and South Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska, where a reduction of 1 cent
per pound to retailers will be allowed
from invoice rates. This practically
ends the cutting on this great staple.

THE REFORM SCHOOL wOR-
Latest Developments at the Misgov-

Latest Developments at the MIsgoV-
erned and DemoraIizsd Institution.
Another feature has been added to
the row at the Reform school in this
city by the action of superintendent J..
NJ. Hart in preferring charges of drunk
enneSs and opium eating against Fred
Sewers, the assistant superintendent.
Although the state board of charities
announced Saturday that an lnVeStga-
ton of the complaint against Hart was
being made it developed yesterday aft
ernoOn that the board in reality has
been investigating the charges pre-
ferred against Sewers by his superior
officer.
1t is reported to the state house that
the investigation of Sewers, as far as it
has gone, has failed to develop any
damaging evidence against him. One
of the state officers said last night:
There is a big row on at the Re
form school and it will not end until
some changes are made at the institu-
ton. I have been told by a member of
the board of charities that nothing was
presented to the board by Hart to sub
stantiate the charges made against
Sewers. AS to the correctness of this
report I cannot vOuch, but 1 give it to
you as it came to me-
Whether or not there are any grounds
for the charges and COUNTER charges
which are being made remains to be
developed at the investigation which
will be resumed tomorrow The board
of charities went to Winfield yesterday
on official business and will return to
Topeka tomorrow morning. The mem
