TOBACCO GROWERS HARD AT WORK.
 Last week was quite an anxious one for tobacco growers, especially those who had any hanging or ready to cut. The heat and great humidity made pole sweat almost a certainty, where it had been cut any length of time, and ripe tobacco was getting more brittle and difficult to handle. All crops show a rank growth, both of leaves and suck CTS. Cutting will be quite general this week, with favorable weather.
 The schools in town will begin on Tuesday, September 3.

THOUSANDS BET.
Topeka Money Backing Wash
burn Sent to Denver.

The Denver News publishes the fol-
lowing sensational story, which the
reader may take with as many grains
of salt as desired:
1.-The game between the D. A c. and
Washburn November 2 will furnish the
most sensational betting of the season.
Two thousand dollars of Washburn
money came into Denver Monday night
and all of it will be wagered on the
result. The Washburn man deputized
to negotiate the bet has been secretly
comforting with a number of prominenc
d. A. c. sports regarding the accept
ance of the money and arrangements
have been practically concluded to
place it with the Collender. 1t is said
that Rolla Parvin has covered $500 of
the bet and that Coach Cavanaugh, c.
F. Clay, a former captain of the D. A
C., Dave Brister and Jim Malone have
promised to Jointly cover $500 of the
bet. Whether the money was placed at
odds with Wasnburn as the favorite is
not known, but it is reasonable to sup
pose that D. A. G. is not a favorite in
the game.
1.-The fact that the D. A. G. people had
no hesitation in dealing with the Wash
burn man is significant. Surely they
cannot expect to win against such a
strong team dS Washburn with their
present team. On the face of it there
is every indication that the D. A. c.
will not adhere to it's policy of playing
a strictly local team. since if it hopes to
make any showing at all against
Washburn it will have to have a few
of the stars who were on the team last
season. 1t will not surprise the local
football world if Kirkoff appears on the
d. A. c.. gridiron within a week Then
will enSue a roar from the d. w. G.
camp. Rolla Parvin will be reminded
that ne said at the opening of the sea-
son that he would have strictly local
team only, that no stars would be i'm
ported. In the event of such a wordy
war there is a possibility that the two
teams may disagree to some extent and
the result would be no game Then
again probably the situation may be
viewed in another light. Should d. A.
c. commence to get few star men to
bolster up its weaknesses, D. w. C. to
protect its reputation may adopt the
same policy and procure the strongest
team possible

PACIFIC CABLE 0. K.
Attorney General Says There's
Nothing in the Way.

Washington, Oct 11.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox made a verbal report to the
president and cabinet today regarding
the result of his Investigations into the
Pacific cable question. His conclusion
was that under the law of 1866 any do
mestic company could land any cable
on the shores of the United States, or
of it's possessions. The president and
report that no executive action is call
ed for at this time. The president will
go over the subject more in detail with
the attorney general tomorrow and will
review the whole question in his mess
age to congress. The law of 1866 is the
same law under which the Postal Tele-
graph company claimed it had the pow
er to land a cable at Havana, but the
claim was disregarded at the time by
the secretary of war. Five members of
the cabinet, Secretary Long, Secretary
Hitchcock, Secretary Wilson, Attorney
General Knox and Postmaster General
Smith were present at tOday's meeting,
which was devoted largely to appoint
ments under the various depart n ents,
The question of southern appointments
generally, again came UP and the presi-
dent reiterated his policy of appointing
Republicans if suitable applicants
could be found and if not. of appoint
ing Gold Democrats. His policy in this
respect meets the approval of the cabi-
nj
