Rubin Says he Will Fight Any
White Man, Though.

Akron, o., Dec. 5-Gus Rubin, the
heavyweight pugilist, has arrived at his
home in this city for a short visit. He
looks to be in good condition, and shows
no marks of his recent contest with
Champion Jeffries except a very badly
bruised hand Regarding the fight he
has this to cay:
Il was licked fairly, and have no kick
coming. I trained hard for that fight,
and thought 1 was in the best form
possible, but 1 did not fight right
have done much better in many of my
other fights 1 hit Jeffries a great many
times, but for some reason my blows
lacked steam, and they did not count
for much In the second round hurt
my left hand; knocked the knuekle way
out, and after that, although 1 could hit
Jim, | could not bit him hard I am
not going to quit the ring. 1 worked
my way to the top once, and I can do
1t again L am open to fight any man In
the world, so long as he is white Mad

G. c. Clemens. who has been retained

has been contemplated. The district

spectacle indeed for two supposed judges
to both be fybPg to eo 1ac court and t ea se
trying to induce the sheriff to take the
other to jail for contempt l don't believe
Gov. Stanley would permit it 1t would
be extremely undignified-
Not only that, but the supreme court
office can not be secured in any such
way. The man holding the office must be
promul gated by the Kansas supreme
court in the Thirteenth Kansas. and it
has since spread all over the United
II have not yet consulted with the other
attorneys in the case, but if l had my
way we would ask Attorney General
GODDARD to bring quo-warranto proceed
ings in the supreme court against one of
the present judges to Gust him, and this
would settle the question definitely once
and for all. BY having the suit brought
in the name of the state would remove all
personal questions from it and it would
hinge on the one issue We would proba
bly, all get ready for the action before
hand and as soon as Attorney General
GODDARD filed his suit at the beginning of
the January term of the supreme court,
we could Immediately file our demurrer,
and the case would be ready for argu-
ment- 1t need take but a few days
to get a decision, the same was done
in the special session case.
If this is not done think the matter
will come up to the state auditor on the
first pay day. If there two men who
claim to be judges the auditor will have
to decide which one is entitled to the
pay, and whichever way he decides the
other can bring injunction proceedings in
the supreme court to stop him, and the
case can get into court that way, but that
would put of the decision longer than if
Mr.. GODDARD will bring the action.
Il do not look for any double barreled
court business. The courts can not af-
ford to tolerate anything of that sort
police Judge but the district c6lIrt is the
second highest court in the state, and a
proceeding of that kind would be too apt
to create contempt for the courts in the
minds of the people and the people have
none too much respect for courts even
now"

FOOTBALL AT EMPoRIA-
The College Defeated the Normal and
Won Souvenir Cup.

Emporia, Kan, Dec 5.-The third foot
ball game between the two local insti-
tutions, the Kansas State Normal school
and the Presbyterian college, for $25
souvenir cup put up by o. NJ White,
was played here Wednesday and the
college won by score of 5 to o. Pre-
vious to this game each team had a
game to its credit and the result of the
last game places the handsome cup in
the hands of the college boys. Half the
town were on the side lines and colors
were evenly divided.
The Normals on the start had an ad-
vantage, for 7. Wigelson. the big tackle
of last years team, was in the game as
NormaPs right tackle Both teams play
ed much better offensive than de-
fensive game and in the first half eacn
carried the ball across the field several
times for good gains, but failed to score.
Each came within five feet of the goal
and lost the ball on downs. The win
ming play and the touchdown was made
by Frank McCabe, the college fullback.
He made a right tackle buck, went
through the line and after shaking oft
several attempted tackles, put the ball
behind the stake. 80 yards away. The
kick for goal failed. The touchdown
was made in the last half within five
minutes of the. end of the game.
Baker, left guard for the college, has
a broken shoulder as a result of
scrimmage. Bunce took his place.
Coach Williams and Quarterback Mid
dlekauf of the Normal team, quit the
game near the end because of injuries,
and Turner was also laid out.
The colleges surest plays were run
ming tackles, Buckner and Plumb,
around the ends. Anderson and P. Will
nams, the halfbacks did all kinds of
good plays for the collegians, and the
work of Randolph and Edison, ends
was excellent. Fullback McCabe and
Quarter Botsford (coach) were in ev-
cry play and deserve big share of the
credit for the victory.
Coach Williams Mcfarland, Priest
and Middlekauf played their usual good
game. End Man Turner did star work,
as did Hensley. the man on the other
wing.

WAR ON PIG PENS.
Board of Health Acts as the Respite
Has Expired.

Hogs are now moving rapidly. The
anti-hog ordinance IS being enforced
The porky tribe must get outside of the
city limits.
The anti-hog ordinance was passed
several months ago for Mayor Hughes
special benefit. The mayor had several
hogs in storage at his coal yard. which
were being fed on slack, or some other
refuse, and the council decided that it
was not a good thing for the mayor to
set such a bad example to the city. So
the ordinance was passed requiring
that all pig-pens be taken outside of the
city'S domain.
This produced a mighty volume OF
complaint from quite a portion of the
population in some parts of town. The
statement was made to the council that
it would work hardship on poor peo-
pie who depend on a home raised hog
or two for their winter meat They
asked that the ordinance be suspended
till after hog killing time. This request
was granted, but now the health off,
GERS are starting in to clean out the pig
pens. All live hogs must be taken out
side of town.

December 25, when she will appear in
New York. She notified Manager Grau
to this effect and in eastern cities where

cold eastern climate. Accordingly she
will leave for St Augustine, Fla, by the
southern route. She goes to Florida so
that she may be within reach of a New
York throat specialist If necessary.
Mr.. Grau will leave for New York
today. He said that Notwithstanding
the many disappointments during the
season here, owing to the sickness of
his sopranos, that the receipts were far
in excess of those of last year. Accord
ing to Mr.. Grau, the season here under
normal conditions would have been the
most successful ever given in any city
in the world. AS it was the receipts
for the 80 performances given exceeded
100000.
Mr.. Grau has announced that he will
make no more long tours with the COM
pany He says the strain on the singers
is too great. OF the singers in Grau's

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 5.-Pursuant to
the call of President Thomas ]. Hickey,
the Western league baseball magnates
held a reorganization meeting here
Wednesday, and turned the whole stu

against Hickey and George Tebeau,
and when the dust of the track had
cleared away these two, who have been

James Whitfield, sporting editor of
the Kansas City Star, was elected pres

Manning and Charlie ("Kid'D Nichols
were awarded the Kansas City fran
chise to succeed Tebeau.
President Hickey's resignation, sub
mitted several days ago. was accepted,
and George Tebeau's withdrawal from

was snapped up in a hurry. The whole
thing was a coup, and Hickey and

FIGHT MANAGERS MIX IT.
Sam Harris and Billy Roche Ex-
change Fistic Compliments.

New York, Dec 5.-Terry McGovern's
manager, Sam Harris, and Billy Roche,
manager of several pugilists, engaged
in an alteration last night in the lobby
of a local theater where young Corbett
is giving exhibitions. The men were
separated after Harris had received a
hard right hand punch on the eye from
Roche. The trouble arose over a dis
pute, in which Roche was accused by
Harris of blocking his efforts to secure
a return match with young Corbett
for McGovern.
Roche admitted he was not urging
the western fighter to give McGovern
a chance to regain his lost laurels and
reminded Harris that he had in vain
endeavored to get the Brooklyn fighter
to meet Kid Lavigne, Tim Callahan
or George McFadden. Harris ire was
aroused and he pulled off his coat to
begin hostilities only to find that
Roche was not a bit backward about
taking a hand in the game himself.

TURNED TURTLE.
British Steamer Nelson Sinks
With All Her Crew.

Portland Ore, Dec. 5-A special to
the Evening Telegram from Astoria,
Ore, says:
The bar tug Tatoosh, which has just
returned to port, reports that the Brit
ish steamer Nelson turned turtle last
night and went to the bottom with her
entire crew. The Nelson left Astoria
November 25 Monday night she was
back at the rivers mouth, and yester-
day was reported to have shifted her
cargo. She had a bad list to starboard,
and could go on only one tack. Yester-
day afternoon the tug Tatoosh went out
and picked up the Nelson, passing a
hawSer. The tug started off shore with
the ship. owing to the gale. 1t was the
intention of Capt Bailey of the Tatoosh
to remain with the ship during the
night The gale was raging last night,
and was too severe for the vessel to
Withstand, and she broke from the tug
and turned turtle, sinking at once. In
the darkness it was impossible for the
tug to render assistance to those of the
crew who were not carried down, and
all persisted.
The Nelson carried crew of twenty
eight men all told. She was an old
wooden vessel.
Capt. George w Woods, the bar pilot
was to have been placed aboard the
ship last night, but the weather was too
rough to permit it. Capt. Woods states
that the Nelson went over 10 or IL
o'clock last night during the height of
the gale.
The Nelson carried cargo of lumber
and was consigned to Cape Town,
South Africa, by Taylor, Young & Co.,
of this city.
The following is a partial list of the
crew: Capt. Perram, First Mate w

ATTEMPT TO WRECK.
Switch Tempered With at Beverly, on
the Burlington Road.

Leavenworth, Dec. 5.-The Standard
says: Burlington railway detectives are
in the vicinity of Beverly, Mo, making
an investigation into the wreck of the
day, and sufficient evidence has been
found to prove beyond a doubt that a
dastardly attempt to wreck the fast
Denver-Kansas City train was made.
The switch lock and lamp had been
stolen. The train was going at the rate
of so miles an hour when the engineer
noticed the lamp was out and slowed
down. The engine and mail car left the
rails and went into the ditch, but the
coaches remained on the track, and for
tunately no passengers were seriously
injured. 1t is rumored that arrests will
likely follow.

PREACHED In KANSAS.
That Ia the Record of New Governor
of Oklahoma.

1t is difficult to find a man of any
prominence in Oklahoma who is not q
Kansan. T. B. Ferguson, who has been
selected by President Roosevelt to sue
coed William Jenkins as governor of
Oklahoma, formerly lived in Chantau-
qua county, where he taught school and
preached. His sermons were of the
Methodist persuasion. Later, in 1890,
he purchased a paper at Sedan and
changed it's name to the Sedan Repub-
lcan This was at the time when the
Alliance was at its height, but Fergu-
son published a red hot Republican
paper-one of the aggressive, fire-eating
kind A contemporary in noting his
advent to the editorial ranks spoke of
him as "a red head from the country
'deestrict' with anti-hel1 fire proclivi-
ties" He kept up the paper for a year
and half, but the pecuniary returns
were not great, and in 1892 Ferguson
sold out and went to Watonga, Okla,
where he has since resided and has pub
Hshed paper. He has continued his
fight for Republicanism, with the re-
suit that President Roosevelt has picked
him out to be governor of Oklahoma
