before the Ottawa game. The football
enthusiasts are anxious for WaShburn
to meet D. A G. in Topeka, and such
a game would draw a large crowd 1t
would undoubtedly bring a large num-
Der of people from out of town. The
D. A. c. team is undoubtedly one of the
strongest teams in the west. Those who
backed Washburn at Denver are par
ticularly anxious for the return game
The D. A. c. players are true sportsmen
and are willing to play Washburn re-

Although Washburn lost the game the
best of feeling seems to exist between
the teams. The Denver people We're full
of praise for the Washburn players. The
following is from the Denver Times;
IF there ever was a defeated team
that deserves credit that one is the one
which was defeated yesterday afternoon.
Those big, husky, corn-fed farmers from
Kansas worked with the precision of a
piece of machinery and the fierce at
lacks they made upon the Denver line
was by all odds the feature of the game.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONVERTS.

Mrs. Ira Knowlton of Butte, Montana,
is a most enthusiastic convert to the viz
tues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as a
cure for obstinate stomach trouble. She
says; Il had poor digestion nearly all
my life. 1t now seems to me that for
years I never knew what it was to be
hungry to have a good natural appetite.
I was troubled with gas in stomach
causing pressure on the heart with pal
pitation and short breath. Nearly every
thing l ate soured on my stomach, some
which almost reSenbled SpasTnS
Doctors told me had catarrh of the
stomach. but their medicines would not

to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
I knew they were an advertised rem
edy and didn't believe anything read
about them as I had no confidence in
advertised remedies but my sister Hv-
ing in Pittsburg wrote me last spring
telling me how Stuart's Tablets had
cured her and her little daughters of in
digestion and loss of flesh and appetite
and 1 hesitated no longer
I bought fifty cent box at my drug
store and took two of the large tablets
after each meal and found them delight
full to take being as pleasant to the taste
as caramel candy. Whenever during the
day or night I felt any pain or uneasi-
ness in the stomach or about the heart
I took one of the small tablets and in
three weeks it seemed to me as if l had

Mr.. E. H. Davis of Hampton, Va,
says: Il doctored five years for dys-
pepsia, but in two months got more
benefit from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
than in five years of the doctors treat

Two more touchdowns were made and
two goals kicked. Score, % to 6.
The Colorado college team, which is
undoubtedly the champion college team
in Colorado, was outclassed completely
by the visitors, and the officials agree
that Washburn IS the best team ever
seen in this state. Moore, Washburn's
great left half back, was the lion of the
hour; he scored four touchdowns and
kicked four goals. Banks, right end,
also made a touchdown. Herine, half
back for the home team, scored in the
second half on Meh1s tumble Of a punt.
One very disagreeable feature of the
game was the sloppy condition of the
field. The halves were twenty-five and
twenty minutes. J. H. BardWell, of the
Denver Wheel club, refereed the game.

[From the Denver Post.l

From the Denver Post
Much of the victory OF last Saturdays
game over Washburn by the D. A. c.
belongs to 'Reddy" Gallagher. There is
no use denying that THE Profess was
very much in evidence. The great play
of the day was his securing the ball on
the three yard line when it looked like a
certain victory for the visitors. This
lucky play saved the followers Of the
cherry and black at least $1,000 If not
more. And to be candid, Gallagher stole
the ball and then claimed to have got
it on a tumble, but as no one saw it
the play went on 1t begins to look as il

too. to watch their play. They were all
formed and off with the ball on several
occasions before the D. A. c. got fairly
settled. and gained much ground in this
manner. Quick formations count for a
great deal after all and help to win
many a game. Cavanaugh has certainly
got a line that is hard to beat this sea
son. It was also noticed that when
Washburn had the ball IN Saturdays
game Gallagher played center and when
the ball was in the possession Of the
local team the authenticated athlete was
at left tackle. Cavanaugh placed him
wherever he would be most useful. The
fact stands out more boldly every day
that the Denver Athletic club got
Jewel when they secured Gallagher. He
is a f1rst-class boxer wrestler and can
the next man. While all the other ath-
letic clubs have an instructor for each
department, Gallagher is capable OF

FIGHTING STANLEY.
Humbert Using His Klond1ke Record
With Prohibition Votars.

H L Humbert. who was chairman of
the Kansas Nationalist party four years
ago, and supported Bentley and South
gate, the free silver candidates, is now
chairman of the Shawnee County Law
and Order bureau. He says Holsinger
will poll a small vote in this county;
that most of the old Nationals and Pro-
hibitiOnists will not only vote for Mar
tin and Clark, but will also do their best
to defeat Stanley. While campaigning
in several counties he has noted that
many Prohibitionists and law enforce
ment people are active for Prudential.
Law and order literature has been dis
tributed throughout the entire county,
he explained, and a colpOrteur with
Klondike and other literature had been
to Valencia, Menoken, Pauline, Watson,
Big Springs, Tecumseh and all the rural
routes. Every farmer that comes to
the city gets a dose also.
This work has been going on for over
two years. Mr.. Humbert says the issue
is now before the community and will be
until law is enforced and the good name
OF the county redeemed.
