the state ticket fo1i Leedy. The Popu-
lists are not in a majority in the county
and must depend on the silver Republi-
cans and Democrats to a large extent
for their majority. Two years ago
there was a serious outbreak of silver
sentiment in Saline county which was
led by Dan Wagstaf who had for years
been one of the veteran Republicans of
central Kansas. When WagStaff first
went out of his party it was doubtful
whether he would do more than sup
port Bryan but the tactics pursued to
get him back into line soon drove him
entirely over into the camp of the enc

ticket. This year he is again in line
and supporting Leedy. He predicts
that he will carry Saline county. He said
this morning: ''Leedy will get this cOun-

voted for him two years ago are all for

A peculiar situation exists here. Sa-
lima is one of the few towns in the
state where the registration this year
exceeds that of two years ago. This is
accounted for by the fact that the town
has made a substantial gain in popula-
ton during that time. During the last
year the city assessors returns show
a gain of nearly $50 in population. The
following shows the registration and
vote cast in Salina since 1892:

NEBRASKA VS.. *. U.
The Big Game of the Season to Take
Place at Lawrence on Saturday,
November s.

On Saturday of next week the Ne
braska football team will line up
against K. U. for the annual game be-
tween these two teams. Great interest
is being; taken in this game as it will
probably be the biggest one of the sea-
son. Neither team has as yet lost a
playing may be expected.
K. q. and her friends have not for
gotten the treatment they received at
Lincoln last year and as the time
draws nearer, the stinging and unlocked
Nebraskans last November makes the
day more anxiously waited for. 1t ap-
peared that Kansas was robbed of ev-
cry chance to make a showing and
when darkness put an end to the game,
it had not nearly been finished, so far
as time was concerned. There was a
continual wrangle from the time the
teams lined up on the field until Ne
braska had won what proved to be a
questioned victory.
K. U. wants revenge and revenge she
will have if it is in her power on Sat-
urday, November 5th. A big crowd
will be in attendance and no doubt lots
of money will be wagered on the result.
Last Monday the Nebraska boys de-
feated the Missouri Tigers AZ to 6, but
they realize that their proposition at
Lawrence is not an easy one.
The average weight of the Nebraska
team is about 40 and of the Kansas
team about IT'S. The game will be called
at $3.50 and the probable line up of the
two teams will be as follows:
Nebraska. Position. Kansas.

said was submitted 1T the convention

held last month ia NashSille. Tenn.
The suggestion, however, was first put
forth by Nh. Boyce, president ofthe Western

ground that the day OF usefulness of ihe
