COTTON.
New York, May Awhile the cot
ton market was not a broad one, con-
siderable firmness was developed at
the outset this morning by the favora-
BILE character of the Liverpool cables:
also foreign buying, small receipts
and conflicting acreage gossip. The
opening call showed an advance of
] to points, but trading was slack.
There was a disposition to hold off
for the Government report, due next
Wednesday. This fact, in connection
with more or less prevalent belief
that August may develop as dis
turber of the peace, made traders eau
tious. The general undertone was
very steady throughout the list There
was some buying for Wall Street ac-
count. but as a rule outside interests
were very easily scared. The demand
was generally met by Southern trad
ers. Local interests were rather dis
posed to anticipate builish bureau
report on the tenth. At the best to-.
day the market showed an advance
of to 4 points on yesterdays prices,
with the market tinnily steady | to
points net higher.

team but the Lawrence team has the
advantage of a training table, gymnas-
ium, a strong team to practice against
and many times the number OF stu
duents from which to recruit players.
But the Washburn team is one of the
best the college has ever had and if the
Varsity team is not in good form a
defeat is possible.
1--WE will play Farror, the colored half
back" said Coach Melford. Il think
that Lawrence understands that we in
tend to play him but hereafter we will
not allow the question OF his playing to
interfere with the games and if a Wig
orous objection is made against his
playing we will take him out of the
game rather than to stop the play The
Washburn team should show up well in
the K. U. game. If the Lawrence team
is not in perfect condition we may take
the game but OF course they have every
advantage" Coach MeIford played with
Nebraska when YOst, who is now
coaching K. .. was coaching the Ne
braska team.
The Washburn team will be weaker
in center than in the game with the
Medics. MelfOrd played center then in
the absence Of student to take the
place. Cell has returned and will go to
center during the K. q. game. He is
good but not in the best of practice and
hardly able to do the work as well as
Melford.
NIcEchron will be right guard and
White left guard. Hughes at left and
Bishop at right tackles will be given
the ball when played back of the line.
Bishop is one of the best men on the
team and during the Medic game sell
dom failed to advance the ball. Stahl
at right and Banks at left ends are not
new to the game. F1nlay viii be at
quarter. FarrOr right half back, Gep-
hart left half back and Jim Hughes at
full complete the team with Worsley,
Stewart Cframley and Hitchcock subs.
The K. U. team has been greatly sha-
ken up since their game with the IN
dams Meehan will proably be at CEN
ter Smith and Wilcox tackles, Avery
and Gates ends, Woodward guard,
Owen quarter, Tucker and Moore halves
and SiIYers full.
The K. U. manager announced that
his team would not weigh over the
Washburn team but the difference in
weight will be considerably in favor of
K. u. The Washburn team will stick
to the Princeton form of play massing
on the tackles.
H H Within of Kansas City and D.
Low of Topeka will referee and UNI
pire, changing at the halves.

NOTHING BUT FACTS.
No Deception Used In Talking
About Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
The Arguments In Their Favor Come
From People Who Have Test
ed Their Merits.

There is no deception in anything we
publish about MorroW'S Kid-ne-OidS.
All our statements about MOrrOW's Kid
ne-Oids are facts and from people right
here in Topeka. People in all walks of
life are using Kid-ne-oids because they
cure backache, nervousness, sleeplesS-
ness and general debility in cases where
other remedies have failed.
Here is a statement which we ask
you to read from DR.. J. H. Goodwin,
the dentist at 607 Kansas avenue. DR..
Goodwin says: Il got a package of
MOrroW's Kid-ne-oids and used them
according to the directions and was
greatly relieved of lumbago of about
four years standing. One box of Kid
ne-oidS completed a cure and there has
been no return of my trouble since.
consider Morrow's Kid-ne-oids a specific
for rheumatism in the lumbar regions.
have also used MorroW's Liverlax
with the most gratifying results"
Morrow's Kidneoids are not pills,
but elbow Tablets and are put up in
wooden boxes which contain enough for
about two weeks treatment and sell
at fifty cents a box at Swift & Holt
days drug store. Morrows Liverlax
are small red granules and sell at TWEEN
ty-five cents per box. They cure con-
stipation.

New York Oct. 6.-JenIzins took the
jockey honors at Morris park. He won
the first three races on Belle of Mem
phis at to 1, Belle of Lexington at 4
to 1 and Raffaello at to l, and finished
third on two others. Two fixtures We're
decided-the Belle Meade for year olds
and the Bronx lightweight handicap. In
the former Mcleod of Dare was the IA
vOrite, with Raffaello second choice.
Lady Lindsey and The Barrister cut
out the running to the last sixteenth,
when Raffaello closed with a rush and
won cleverly by a length and a half
from Mcleod of Dare. In the Bronx,
Richard J. was the favOrite. but the
best he could do was third. The 2 year
old Warning made all the running, and
lasted just long enough to win by a
head from MISLEADING who closed fast.

EATEN BY NATIVES.
Fate of a Man Who Landed on an
UnfriendlY Shore.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. GA remark
able story of cannibaIism was brought
to Sydney, Australia, a few days before
the sailing of the steamer Aorang1 TO
this port by the French steamer
Jeanette The victim of the display OF
savagery was a native of Hawaii
named Amaru who acted as orderly TO
the immigration department atNoumea
in the New HebrideS. About six months
ago Amaru married a native woman OF
Aoba in the New Hebrides group ana
on passing that island on the second
day of the voyage of the jeanette to
one of the outlying islands, he decided
to visit his wifes tribe. Accordingly
the couple were put off in &, small boat
and it was only a few weeks ago that
the steamer made a second call and
learned their fate. By mistake they
had landed on an unfriendly shore and
were taken prisoners The man was
tied to a stake and his torture begun.
This consisted first in allowing vicious
Jungle snakes from which the poison
fangs had been removed to attack the
mans legs. Then a fire was made at
his feet and his legs were horribly
burned though the injury was super
fetal so that the victim would not die
under the treatment. Then he was
made a target for the spears of the
tribesmen who finally killed him. He
was torn to pieces and placed over a
fire with two sheep. In fact, according
to the story, he was eaten with the
sheep.
In the meantime Amaru's wife had
been provided with a second husband
The matter was reported to a British
man of war, but it is thought no action
has been taken.

Union Pacific Preparing to Save Mile
age in This Way.

Denver, Oct. 6-NIr. W. Ashton, chief
engineer of the Union Pacific, in dis
cussing improvements to be made in
that system said:
Now that the traffic of the road war
rants it, and the expense of making
deep cuts and heavy fills can be borne,
the probabilities are that a general
Strengthening out of the line along it's
whole length will take place. When
the Union Pacific was first put in
through it had, because of the expense,
to go around a great many places which
surveyors knew it ought to go through.
Now that there are twenty trains a day
running over the track which at first
only two ran, the original plans of the
surveyors can be carried out. Without
doubt the road took the best trans
continental route, and there never will
be any change of Importance in its gen
eral direction But surveys are in hand
for numerous minor changes, intended
to make it the smoothest graded and
the straightest mountain line in the
country. The management of the road
has now under consideration a number
of surveys for work next year, chiefly
in the canon district and between ogden
and Evanston, where the grade can be
lowered and curves cut out. The ten
bridges that are being built in Weber
canon are part of this work The steel
for all of them is on the ground, the
stone abutments built, and the changes
in the track made so that the mere
erection of them is a matter of only a
short time"

A GIRLS STORY.
the Rottenness of Tam
many Rule.

New York Oct. 6.-The Mazet commit
tee resumed its sessions yesterday Evil
dence was brought out concerning the un-
lawful sale of liquor by tenants of build
ings owned by the city in the parks and
the borough of the Bronx. GuSsie Storm,
a 16-year-old girl, testified that she was
drIlgged and assaulted by Samuel Leiht.
She was subsequently found in his apart
ments and both were arrested. She was
taken to the district attorney office on
June "a and was asked by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Grady, a brother of Sena-
tor, not to press the charge against Leiht.
Mr.. Grady promised, she claimed, that if
she would not press the charge he would
see that Ieiht was punished and that she
could go free at once. Otherwise he as
serted he would make it bad for her. A
letter purporting to be from her was sent
to the trial judge, stating that she her
self was not altogether faultless. The
witness claimed that she had never writ
ten such a letter. Leiht's brother-in-law,
Joseph Lapidus, showed her a similar
letter and tried to get her to sign it.
When she refused he told her that others
would fix it up. The letter was sent and
Leiht went free Grady is now dead
George p. Hammond, a subpoena server,
testified that the office of Ri. Moss has
been under continual espionage. Mr. Moss
asserted that he had asked for this in
formation because he believed that the
case of Gussie Storm was brought to trial
because she had complained to his office.

sion on Saturday, Justices Van Brunt,
