COLLEGE DAIRY WORK.
Agricultural School at Manhattan in
Interesting Experiment.

Manhattan, Oct. AT the September
meeting of the board of regents of the
Kansas Agricultural college commit
tee was appointed to confer with the de-
partment of dairy husbandry and ar
range for running the college creamery
through the entire year, which hereto
fore had been running only during the
three months of the dairy school.
The Continental Creamery company
which has a skimming station located
at Manhattan has kindly consented to
abandon this territory and give it to the
college. The latter expects to start OPP
erations the LIST of November. This en-
efficiency of the Kansas school An ex-
pert buttermaker and cheesemaker will
be hired, who in addition to looking af-
ter the regular creamery work will give
considerable time to original investiga-
ton and experimental work in butter
making and cheesemaking. Apprentices
to the number of twenty-five will be al
lowed to enter at the beginning Of each
quarter.
Last spring all the dairy short course
students who could be recommended had
secured good positions two weeks before
the close of the school. Since then a
large number of requests have been re-
ceived for buttermakers, cheesema kerS
and Swimming station operators, but on
account of the scarcity of men very few
of these positions could be filled from
the college. The new arrangement will
enable a much larger number to reap
the benefits offered by the college and
at the same time enable the college to
deter meet the demands made upon it
for trained men,

GRATEFUL FOR ROOSEVELT
DR.. Capen Says He Has Made Miss
Stones Case His Own.

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. Am interest
ing feature of the opening session of the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions which began here this
afternoon was the response by DR..
Capen to the president of the board to
the address of welcome delivered by
Rev. E. P. Parker of this city. Mr..
Capen said:
I'VE are in great anxiety over the fate
of Miss Helen Stone, so greatly beloved,
who is today, with the sentence of death
hanging over her. 1t is a comfort in our
tears to know that our government is
doing everything that is possible to be
done for her rescue. Last Saturday
Secretary Smith of this board and my
self met President Roosevelt and Assist
ant Secretary Adee in conference on
this matter. The president has made
this his own case If Miss Stone were
a member of his own family, he could
hardly put more heart, or more energy
into it. Every power Of diplomacy is
being used for her rescue. We must
thank God that in President Roosevelt
is another man of God, who will see that
American missionaries under the flag
of the stars and stripes shall have the
fullest possible protection.
1T may be necessary that a ransom
shall be paid, but that will not close the
incident. 1t will be but the beginning
of the chapter"
Nathaniel P. Lodge of Iowa, and DR..
A w. Acheman of Oregon have been
named as members of the committee on
nomina lions. There is a strong feeling
among the delegates that DR.. Capen will
be reelected president.

Is No Longer Fight Promoter For the
Black Wonder.

New York, Oct 9.-Tom O'Rourke
who attended the recent fight between
Joe Walcott and George Gardner at
San Francisco, returned to New York
yesterday morning. He confirmed the
report that he and Walcott have sepa-
rated. He said that Walcott is now
being managed by Young Mitchell. of
Frisco.

begin training for Gardner" said
O'Rourke, Il notified Mitchell to take
care of him. Mitchell has represented
me in various matches in Frisco, and
I thought I could trust him. However,
when L reached the Pacific coast I
learned, to my surprise, that Wa1cott
had deserted me and had gone over to
Mitchell I have never had a contract

word ever since became his manager.
Well 1 went in his corner all right and
seconded him against Gardner. He
won, but his victory was of the fuky
order. When 7 tried to get what was
coming to me I found that Mitchell
had gobbled up all of Walcott's part
of the winning end of the purse and
locked the money in the safe. After de-

not getting a satisfactory answer, L

JEFFR1Es-RUHLIN BATTLE.
Frisco Sports Begin to Think 1t
Won't Amount to Much.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 9.-Jeffries
has brought all of his theatrical travel
ing to a close and left for Hardin
Springs to prepare for his fight with Gus
Rubin in this city next month. Jeffries'
plan is to stay at the springs until with
in four or five days of the fight. and
then return to this city. While at the
springs he will box with his brother,
Jack Jeffries, and with Bob Armstrong.
Jeffries has given Bill Delaney a check
for 800 to put up with Harry Corbett
as his forfeit to appear in the ring at
Mechanics pavilion on the evening of
November Is, according to the articles
of agreement He says that he was in
no hurry to put up his money so long as
he knew that Ruhlin's money was not
really up. While anxious to see the big
fighters meet, the local sports do not
take kindly to the juggling going on
about the match and forfeit money. The
way in which Madden has been talking
does not increase the confidence of
sporting men, especially as Jeffries dis
posed of Jim Kennedy so easily, while
Rubin allowed Kennedy to get decision
from him. The fact that Peter Maher
knocked out Kennedy in a punch just
after Rubin lost to Kennedy makes the
followers of the game believe that either
Rubin faxed the fight with Kennedy
or that he has very little chance with
JeffrieS.

$4,000.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Shortly before mid

the total loss $685., 600, divided as fol-
lows: Peabody Coal company $345, 600;

THE THANKSGIVING GAME.
Kansas and Missouri Football Teams
May Meet at Paramount Park.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct 9.-George O.
Foster, who is general manager of all
athletics of Kansas university, was in
Kansas City yesterday to arrange for a
place to play the annual Kansas-Mis-
souri, football game. 1t is not yet fully
decided whether this years game will
be played at Exposition park or at
Paramount park.
If the game is played at Exposition
park it will be the last K. U.-M. u.
game to be seen there, as the park is to
be dismantled before next Thanksgiv-
ing day. Mr.. Foster also investigated
the possibilities of an interstate field
m eet to be held in Convention hall
some time in April. The meet would be
participated in by the Universities of
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and
would no doubt be no small attraction
for Kansas Cityans.
Nothing definite was done concerning
the meet, but Mr.. Foster feels confident
that it will be held. The Kansas Ath-
letic association is in good condition
financially this year and it is possible
to make a few ventures of this kind.

FORBES GETS DECISION.
Won From Oscar Gardner in Ninth
Round,

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Clarence Forbes
was given the decision over Oscar Card
ner. of Omaha, at Strope's hall last ev
ening in the ninth round of what proved
to be one of the fastest bouts ever seen
in Kansas City. From the tinne the
men stepped to the center of the ring in
the initial round until Gardeners Sec
onds threw up the spong to save the
Omaha Kid" from a complete knock
out, after one minute and forty seconds
of going in the ninth round, the fight
ing was of the fiercest nature. Both
men were severely punished. Forbes
jabs ripped Oscars face open in sever
al places, and Gardner's left wallop
caused the claret to flow freely from
cuts on Forbes.
Gardner, who was in very poor con-
dition. was beaten at his own game.
Forbes mixed it freely with him, and
always got the best of the exchanges.
Clarence's left Jab was a great factor
in Gardner's defeat While he was
nervous and rather wild at times, he
landed three blows to Gardeners one.
Gardner did not show up as the fighter
of old. Much of this is due to the lack
of condition and the bad shape of his
hands.

CALIFORNIA ATHLETES
Will Go East to Meet Teams of Big
Universities.

Berkeley, Cal, Oct. 9.-California's
crack team will go east next spring to
meet the teams of the big universities
in athletic contests and to enter the
intercollegiate games at Mott Haven. In
every event with the possible exception
of two, the pole vault and two mile
run, California will have a man whose
records have already proved him able
to compete with the best. Plaw will be
ready to break the eastern weight rec
ords again. The team will have a con-
sistent 10 second sprinter in Cadogan,
who thrice last season covered the hun
bred in even time and a distance man
in Service, whose time of 1856 3-5 in the
half mile run is as good as any one
can do in the east. Hamlin. Powell,
Cheek and Thomas are four fast men
to pick the hurdles from. Cooley
Cheek and Powell will furnish the high
jumpers. For the two mile run there
are several good long distance men in
college For the pole vault there is
strong possibility that Heater the won
derful Oregon athlete, will enter. He
has cleared II feet inches over the
bar, and is besides fast hurdler. Only
first place men will be taken on the
trip.
