MODEL UNDERGROUND CELLAR
Junction City Firm Finds a Conven-
lent Place for Potatoes.

The best conception of an under
ground cellar the county has had was
given by Messrs. D. D. COffey and son,
owners of the old Mitchell farm east
on Clark's creek, says the Junction
City Union.
They brought the idea from the south
where is was great success. Near the
barn is a steep and rather high bank
which rises from the creek and faces
to the west, but~it is we'll protected by
large trees. The Coffeys dug into the
bank down 10 or y feet from the top.
The main way is five or six feet wide,
and has a height of probably five feet.
This was carried in nearly 40 feet. On
either side are pockets dug in six or
eight feet, which make bins holding
nearly 100 bushels of potatoes and OF
course a similar bin is left in the ex-
IRENE end. In all there are six or eight
bins. In '95 when the cave was smaller
than it is now "a small lot of potatoes
was held over with much success. This
year they are carrying 200 bushels and
up to date the potatoes are keeping
perfectly.

SEAL AND DOG MATCHED.
Queer Fight Which is to be Pulled Off
in Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. Arrangements
have been made between employees of
the Wells Fargo Express company and
Brakeman Bros, who conduct fish
market on East Douglas avenue, in
Wichita. Kan, by which a bull dog is
to be matched against seal to fight to
a finish.
The stakes are $50 a side, winner to
take both animals and whatever else
is to be gotten out of the affair. Mr..
Scudder of the Wells-Fargo company
has sent to North Platte, Neb.. to OBJ
tain the dog which is to engage in the
fight while the seal is the same one that
has been seen in the tank at the store
of the MesSrs. Brakeman.
The match is a very queer one, the
seal being considerably the smaller and
to all appearances a very docile little
animal, while on the other hand, the
dog is of the usual size of his kind The
match is to take place some time be-
fore the 18th of this month.

FOOTBALL CRUSADE
Ministers Pass Resolutions Against
Thanksgiving Games.

StLouis, Jan. 5-Now that the clergy
of this city have taken up the matter
Of Sabbath observance and are pushing
it to the extent of abOlishing Sunday
funerals, it is understood that they will
inaugurate another campaign that will
seriously affect the practice of football
playing on Thanksgiving Day, if by
their united efforts the faculties of col
leges can be prevailed upon to put
stop to it in their respective schools.
This matter is now being agitated in
several cities, and the ministers have
taken the first step, by passing resolu-
tions against games of football on
Thanksgiving Day. 1t is also being ex-
tensively commented upon editorially
by the religious press, which says that
this special occasion has been taken up
by football teams of late years to such
an extent that an appropriate name for
the day would be Football Day"
