LORD MIMIC A SPORTSMAN.
New Governor General of Canada a
Friend of Athletics.

New York, Nov. 18.-The earl of Min
to, in his function as governor general
of Canada, is likely to have an influence
that is not generally expected from so
lofty an official The earl is, and al
ways has been since his boyhood days
al Elton, one of the keenest Of sports
men. AS a gentleman jockey, both
over jumps and on the fiat; as an oars
man, as a good man to hounds and in
field athletics, the new governor general
has won renOwn.
Before he succeeded to the peerage
and bore the courtesy title of Lord Mel

pigskin under the assumed name of
Mr.. Rolly." He was then a Cambridge
undergraduate. While an undergrad
uate he was also prominent in athletics
and won the mile race in the Third

AT HUTCHINSON JUBILEE
A Band Contest is Proposed as Lead
ing Feature.

Hutchinson, Nov. 1S.-The small at
tendance Of the Jubilee guarantors at
the meeting called at the Commercial
club rooms last evening prevented any
thing being done toward arrangements
for the next musical jubilee. Another
meeting will be called for next Tuesday
evening when a new executive commit
tee will be selected and instructed for
the coming year.
There are a number u things to be
discussed at the next meeting One
of the principal ones is a proposition to
make a band contest one of the features
of next years jubilee. Those who were
present last night favored the idea, the
prevailing opinion being that the band
contest should take place on Monday
preceding the regularly arranged jubi-
lee, when it would draw its own large
crowd and pay it's own expenses.

METEOR NEAR OTTAWA
Trainmen on Night Freight Have
Thrilling Experience.

Ottawa Nov 18.-Trainmen on the
night freight with Conductor Joe Keith
and Engineer Dave Fivecoats, arriving
in Ottawa yesterday morning, gave a
very thrilling description of the fall of
a meteor as they were near Welda about
midnight Monday.
They were startled by a very bright
flash of light coming directly to the
earth about a quarter of a mile from
their train. 1t looked to be about two
feet and a half across and the trail of
light behind it was many feet in length.
The trainmen say it was so close that
they could easily distinguish the smell
of sulphur and the smoke which arose
from it was observable. Upon arriving
at Ottawa the trainmen were all excited
over the sight they had observed and
believe they can locate the meteor upon
their return to Welda.

TO GET RETURNS QUICKLY.
Voting Law May Be Changed so as to
Count Ballots Every Hour.

W. A. Coy, a new member of the leg
islature from Jefferson county has a
plan for facilitating elections in Kansas
which he will present to the legislature
in the form of a bill.
His plan is to amend the election law
so that the judges may count at the end
Of every hour during the day. BY this
means the count will keep pace with the
voting and it Will be a question of
very few minutes after the polls are
closed until the result can be announced.
Under the present plan it frequently
takes all night to complete the count.
At a presidential election the count is
never completed in the city of Topeka
before 4 o'clock in the morning Of the
day following election.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Coy is the
same system followed in New York and
other states. Mr. Coy was formerly
mayor of Kansas City, Kan.
