Some Famous Runs.

1t is noteworthy fact that four of the
most sensational runs in big games, and
all OF them resulting d,rectly in victories,
have been made against Yale.
The first was by Lamar, Of Princeton,
in 1885, who ran almost the entire length
of the field for touchdown The next
two we're made by Harvard men ut
Springfield in 1890. Lee covering sc, enty
yards and Dean 6fty yards.
Arthur Pos made the fourth on Satur-
day, with ninety Ave yards % his credit

race to make Dutch" peeyish and er-
ratio. He is never anything else.
The National Department of Apricul-
ture at washington has adopted as their
own little pamphlet printed by the
L. A: W., advocating State aid in tile
building Of roads. and over 400, 900 of
them, suppiied by the League, have
been mailed to farmers all overthe coun-
try by direction Of the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Just for what reason 30 many persons
have the "mile-a-minute" craze is hard
question to answer, but the fact is, how
ever, that at come time or other some
one or other has q new scheme for doing
the trick. The latest fad 10 Henri Four
nier, the foreigner now in this country,
said to be here in the interest OF some
motor-yehicle people.
1t is noticeable that in general women
are sitting better on their wheels than
they were. Under the guidance Of pre-
cept and the influence Of example. there
10 much larger percentage riding grace
fully and unlaboriously than there was
year ago. Formerly there was not more
than one woman in ten who sat over her
work and had an advantageous poise on
the wheel, while now there are FIVE or
six in ten.
From this time on the followers of
long distance cycle racing will have a
chance to do additional speculatipp.
This Is due to the fact that Edouard Tay-
lore, the Frenchman, and Harry Elkes
have been matched for an hour paced
race, to be decided at Madison Square
Garden on Saturday night, December g.
The affair in question will be the first OF
a series of middle.distance races to be
contested under cover this winter.
The American Cycle Racing Associa-
ton will employ no more middle-dis-
tance stars at o regular salary. Neither
will Messrs. Batcheider, 4 Powers and
Kennedy control any moro pacemakers
at a regular stipend. Instead, the asso-
citation will be promoting one, pure
and simple. When it holds indoor races
this winter the stars must provide
their own pacemakers and race for
a definite sum or share OF the gate re-
ceipts.
An Eastern bicycle maker has arrived
home from trip through the West, and
talks Of Chicago thus: "The trade is
healthy. was impressed in Chicago
with the number OF cyclists who have
adopted the 30-inch wheels. 1 don't
think that this style of bicycle will he
popular here. It may be all
right for men with extra long legs, but
can't see where it has any
advantage over the regulation 2s-inch
Wheel"
1t is wise woman who abstains from
riding up very long, steep hill that re-
luires much pushing, even at the ex-
pense Of being considered novice by
1nlookers. This is particularly objec.
;ionable, If not positively dangerous for
women in very warm weather. Cycling

In down-pour of rain and on grounds
saturated with water and as slippery 10

Schools met in a game Of foot bail on tie

noon.
A worse day for the game could never
have been picked, and foot ball, in one
sense of the word, was impossible.
It was case Of buck the line and
kick, and although neither side scored
the Wilmington boys had the better of
the contest, as they kept the ball in
Chester's territory most Of the time and
IN exchanges of Kicks the locals had all
the best of the argument.
The pigskin was as hard to hold as hot
butter and the locals most always secured
it on kicks, as the Chester boys were

WHEAT-Lower cables and surprisingly
heavy receipts in the Northwest made a

gregated about 8,250000, or about million

p. m. Northwestern receipts were 2,OOl

prices advanced under good demand from

Let the people rest for while.
The people will have to come after
their message OF hope" judging from the
following from the Wellington Voice:
when Governor Stanley was in Well
ington Monday evening he had his sup
per at the Arlington sent up to his room.
Now that the election Is over 1t will not
be expected, Of course, that he will stay
down among the people"
Senator Harris seat in the State SEN
ate this winter will be filled by James
C. Stone. He was elected in 1897 and Is
the Leavenworth county man who has
been putting up such a remarkable fight
to secure the l.. T. & S. w. right-of-way
through his farm. If he proves to be as
good a political fighter he will win a
place for himself in the Senate without
difficulty.
Labette county is a little slow in the
matter of filing on political claims. II
only has ten candidates for appointments
under the new Republican administra-
tiOn. But if this proportion is kept up
it means that there are only about 1000
applicants in the State BY January l
this will be increased fifteen fold thereby
bringing the number up to majority re-
ceived by Stanley.
The fellow who bobs up and swears at
the central committee every time any
thing goes wrong has not yet been heard
from. He will be around declaring that
Riddle defeated the whole ticket before
long The average committeeman have
a little personal pride and do the best
they can to make good showing They
fail some times but it is never a case OF
lack of desire to accomplish results.
At EmpOria there have been two Re-
publican factions for years. They were
both strong and influential and always
at war with each other The two lead
ing banks were the headquarters and in
spiration Of each. Without the banks be-
hind them their influence would have
been seriously impaired How will 1t be
when Mr.. Cages big national bank and
its branches are in operation? Will the
banker and the people who are not in
the syndicate have any place on the map
at all?
The failure of the First National at
Emporia indicates either that national
bank examinations are worthless or that
the Emporia Republicans charges of po-
litical scheming are true. If the last
statement showing 100000 unimpaired
capital and 100000 undivided profits
was correct then the institution was sol
vent and there was no occasion for clos
ing and If incorrect the examiners are at
fault for allowing the bank to run. Or
binary horse sense would have dictated
that, II the bank will pay out as the
comptroller of the currency says 1t will,
it should have been given time until Mr..
Cross big Hereford sale occurred when
enough undoubtedly would have been
realized to have helped out materially.
If the banks assets at forced sale pay out
in full then in the ordinary course Of
events they would have done 25 per cent.
better. II the assets are realized on as
expected then the bank was never in
solvent. There may be more politics in
this affair than was at first anticipated
as this bank was the headquarters for
the anti-Lelald-Lambert faction.
