STAND BY BUTLER.
Fifty Thousand People Do Hon
or to Disgraced General.

London. Dec 2-"Buller Sunday"
passed without serious incidents. The
government had taken every precau-
ton to prevent disturbances. This in
cluded the reading, at three parades
last week. of a special order in the mill
itary regulations which forbids officers
or soldiers from taking part in any
meetings, demonstrations or professions
for party or political purposes.
A large body of police, many of
whom were mounted, were stationed
along the line of the procession's march
and notably in front of the war office.
The trades unions and working men
societies, with bands and banners, as
sembled along the embankment- There
were thousands of spectators. Owing
to the difficulty of marshaling the large
bodies of men, the procession was late
in starting. 1t was headed by a huge
banner in which was portrait of Gen
eral Butler. The procession traversed
northumberland avenue, Pail Mall, St
James street and Piccadilly to Hyde
park. The windows of clubland and
especially of the service clubs were
crowded with SightSeerS.
At Charing Cross several mounted
police rode up to the head of the pro-
cession and attempted to seize a plaster
bust of General Butler. The man carry
ing the bust dashed it to the ground.
This incident caused much indignation.
but the leaders were able to curb and
restrain the paraders, some of whom
wished to attack the policemen
Opposite the war office there was con-
siderable grooming and cries of shame
from the men in the procession, but
otherwise the proceedings were with
out incident
When Hyde park was reached it was
almost dark. Here speeches from sew
era1 platforms representing England,
Ireland. Scotland, Wales, Devonshire
and the colonies were made. The con-
fusion was so great as to render the
speakers almost inaudible, but amid a
roar of cheers a resolution of sym
pathy for General Butler was proposed
and adopted with great enthusiasm
and a wild waving of handkerchief
and hats.
Features of the demonstration were
the passing of collection boxes for a
working mems memorial to General
Butler, and the large sale of buttonhole
portraits and favors of the general.
1t is estimated that at least 80, 900
people were present at the demonstra-

BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL.
Mrs. Gardiner Seriously Beaten
Sunday Morning.
Dogs From Manhattan at Work
For Hours.

Council Grove, Kan, Dec. 2.-Sunday
morning at L O'Clock, Mrs. Rich Gardiner
was awakened by noise in her kitchen,
which she thought was caused by the
house cat With a lamp in her hand
she started from her bedroom to in
vestigate. On opening the kitchen door
she faced a tall negro who dealt her
blow in the face with a club breaking
her teeth and seriously bruising her.
The light, falling from her hand, was
extinguished and in the darkness she
fed from the house and to the home of
A. J. Marks two blocks away where
she told the incident. She described her
aSSailant closely. Sheriff MikelS and
Marshal Fleming were notified and at
once went to work In this case and in
several similar ones occurring here re-
Gently suspicion rested on two or three
negroes about town. Six were brought
to Mrs. Gardiner, but she failed to find
her asSaiIant among them. Wright'S
bloOdhounds at Manhattan were sent
for and arrived at o'clock in the af-
ternoon- The town by this time was
thoroughly excited and upwards of 500
people turned out to see the dogs work.
They got the scent in the cellar, fol-
lowed it upstairs, through the door and
worked in the same manner, bringing
up at the home of much respected
white citizen.
AT o'clock the dogs took new trail
and landed at the home of negro
whom many believe guilty. No arrests
have yet been made Someone, perhaps
the same negro, broke into the home
of Mrs. Ross, an aged lady, recently,
and pounded her cruelty. On the ap
proach of neighbors, he made his escape
through window
Two weeks later he was nearly cap
tured in the home of Mrs Lemburg, q
blind woman, whom he nearly choked
to death. On several occasions he has
appeared at windows and doors and
with the frightened women, has de-
bated the question of letting him in
In every case he has made good his
escape before relief arrived for his ter
rorized victims. He does not seem bent
on assault, and in no place has he
stolen articles from the house. His
appearance was sometimes on second
story porches, and at other times on the
ground floor.

FOOTBALL AT GLAsCo.
Hard Fought Battle With Bethany
Team From Lindsborg.

Glasco, Kas, Dec. "A hard fought
football battle here was the contest
Thanksgiving day with the eleven from
Lindsborg, kas.. which resulted in a
victory for Glasco by a score of 10 to s.
The Glasco team is the one which has
won such aa reputation in former years
by defeating Ottawa, Washburn, and
holding the then ever-victorious K. u
team to very close score. The team
which met Bethany is the same as
then. All things considered Bethany
has every reason to feel proud of the
showing she made against an aggre-
CATION of old stars, among whom are
the three Davidson brothers, well
known throughout the state, Bert
Nicoll, and P. Sullivan.
The feature of the game was the
fierce line bucking of Leslie Peterson
and Woodward for Bethany, and that
of Fred Davidson and Lorraine David
son for Glasco. Toward the close of
the last half Karl SwenSon on a double
pass made fine run around right end
for 20 yards. GlaScO made the only
touchdown in the first half by tackles
back and straight line bucking~~ Every
inch of ground was stubbornlys fought,
and the ball was lost on a tumble by
Glasco only to be regained a little later
on a like tumble. After "A minutes of
play Lorraine Davidson was pushed
over for a touchdown but failed to
kick goal. Everything pointed to a tie
or a victory for Bethany, but two con-
secutive fumbles and a blocked punt
gave GlaScO the ball on Bethany'S Is
yard line GlaSco was there held with
out gain for two downs, when a 5-yard
run by Sullivan brought the ball to
Bethany's 10-yard line After fiercely
bucking the line Sullivan went over for
a touchdown, but the punt out for fair
catch was muffed and the score stood
10 to 0.
Leslie Peterson kicked off so yards
to Will Davidson, who returned the ball
10 yards. Bethany held and Glasco
punted out of bounds. Bethany had the
ball but lost it later on downs only to
recover it again on Glasco,S 30-yard

and Dave Peterson finally told and
Leslie Peterson went over for a touch

NEBRASKA MADE MONEY.
Spent $4,000 For Improvements, Yet
Cleared $4,000 on the Season.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2.-The Nebraska
university athletic board finds it's ex-
chequer in a most hattering state. Dur
ing the year a permanent grand stand
with a seating capacity of 1,500 and a
high fence completely surrounding the
field have been added to the athletic
equipment These improvements have
cost almost s., 600. The profits from the
Missouri, Kansas and Haskell games,
however, were sufficient to meet all the
expenses of running the team, pay for
the improvements to the grounds and
then leave a surplus of $4,000. Next
year the Cornhuskers will begin the
season with plenty of money. condi-
tory of Nebraska athletics.
The gold medal offered by the athletic
board for the player whose individual
work was worth most to the team dur
ing the year was voted unanimously
by the varsity squad to Quarterback

Junction City, Dec. 2.-On Wednes-
day County Attorney Roarke charged
Captain Kilian, of Fort Riley, with say
ing: II don't like to say anything about

the charge and to report. There were
four witnesses and the committee has
the affidavits of man and woman and
man who heard the remarks and also
that the captain said: Il do not think
Buchanan the assasSin) committed sui

same" The committee has served no
tice on Captain Kilian to meet with its
members Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Roarke claims that if the remark credi
ted to Captain Kilian is true then the
latter should not be permitted to pol
lutte the district court with his pres
ence.

Joseph for a game with the Ellsworth
Medics today. The game was to have
