KING CHANGES LINEUP.
Wisconsin Will Have New Combina-
ton Against Kansas.

Madison, Wis. Oct 24-Coach King
has made radical change in the lineup
of the Wisconsin university football
team, and intends to give the new com
bination a trial in the hope Of having
solved the perpIexing back field prob
lem. TIE one weakness of the Badger
team this season is admitted TO be its
back field and the coaches have tried
all kinds o. combinations to remove the
difficulty
King has moved Capt Juneau back to
right half back and put Bush in at the
vacancy at right end. With Wander
boom at left half and Driver at full back
the combination worked splendidly, and
the critics are of the opinion that the
back field problem has at last been sat
iSfaetOrily solved. MOffatt will probably
play in one of the half back positions
during part of most of the coming
games, but his injured Lee. which i'm
proves very slowly, will prevent him
from playing regularly, it Is believed.
If be We're in good shape he would I'M
doubtedly be one of the regular backs.
Fred Long, who was injured in the
last game and who underwent a surgical
operation last week as a result of that
injury, resumed work last night, going
in at his old position at left guard. He
IS In fair shape and it is believed that
| he VIII be able to stand the hard work
necessary for the Michigan game, to be
played in Chicago, November 1.

which plays here Saturday, win remain
here the first two days of next week
and furnpish the varsity with good
practice.
The lineup of the varsity team is
changed much. but tL.& most permanent
arrangement is as follows: Skow, Gems
ter; Lerum. right guard; Ebert, left
guard; Haumerson. right tackle; Bertl0e,
left tackle; Juneau right end; Abbott

back; Driver and Vanderboom. full

Javhawkers in Chicaeo.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-The football team

Coach Curtis took his men to Marshall

Stage. the men ran through signal prac
tice- It had been intended to have a

Maroons, but as Stagg- was unwilling to
risk injuring any of his. men before the
Illinois game next Saturday. there was
no lineup. Later in the afternoon after
Stage had put his men through their
regular drill he decided to let some of
t{1ern engage in a scrimmage, but the
Kansas men found it necessary to hurry
away TO get ready to leave for Madison
They left at : O'clock over the North

GREAT DAY Ar MEMPHIS.
Two Worlds Records Broken and
Another Is Tied.

Memphis. Tenn, Oct. 24-Two worlds
records broken, another one tied ana
gallant attempt by the great Cresceus to
lower his trotting mark were the .sensa-
tonal features of 1.-The Driving PARK
Thursday afternoon. The exhibitions OF
Cresceus and Onward Silver were re-
served for the end Of the days sport.
1t was after O. clock when Onward Sill
yer, accompanied by a runner, appeared
for his great effert to lower the two MIG
trotting record of 1899. made by himself
last week at Lexington. On the second
trial. the starter gave, Hudson the word
and the handsome trotter fairly flew
around the first turn. Hudson apparently
checked his speed at the quarter, which
was passed in 0:S4A. Going down the back
stretch, Onward Silver broke, but soon re-
gained his stride. The half was reached
in 1:05A and the three-quarter pole was
passed in 1:41A. Here the running horse
set hot pace to the wire, and the mile
was made in 2:14lR. At the next pole the
time registered 2:4sA. Down the back
stretch again Onward Silver moved with
ciock-like precision, and the mile and a
half post was reached in 3:21A. Here the
runner again set a hot pace, and at the
last quarter pole the timers registered
3:5415. Hudson began to urge the horse
in the final run home. and when the wire
was reached a new worlds record was
hung out-the time being 4:2SA. Both horse
and driver received an ovation.
NieSSSts, Win -tWO iullHeAS' neat oP-
peared, Ketchams sent him along at a
lively gain to the quarter in O:311a. When
the half was passed in l 02 old horsemen
shook their heads and remarked that the
2:o2A record was safe. The three-quarter
pole was reached In :3S1z and the mile
as finished in 2:04 fat A stiff breeze
was blowing directly up the stretch and
the exhibition was regarded as remark
able.
In the Diamond handicap, Major Del
mar trotted the first heat in 2:O5i5. equal
ing the worlds record for geldings in II
race In the third heat of the same race
oily in :01, which is another race record
for the distance. ..te
large crowd witnessed the sport. To-
day Dan Patch. the famous PAGER, will
attempt to lower the :591l record.

Fort Riley s; Manhattan 2.

Manhattan, Kas., Oct. 24-The Agri-
cultural college football eleven was de-
fe9ted Thursday afternoon by a team
from Fort Riley. by a score of to 2.
It was a stubbornly contested. game.
Both teams were evenly matched. -r5tft
Hayden, Hayward and Feathers proved
good ground gamers for the soldiers.
The farmers put up a good game but
were a little slow in getting off their
plays. A few minutes after the game
was called the college scored on safety
and they kept the ball in the visitors
field nearly the entire game, till the sol
kick in the first Of the last half
Nudge, Miner, Margrave, Towne, VIII
liams and Briggs did some of the most
effective work for the college. In the
latter part Of the second half the SOL
diers were outplayed, and but for the
calling of time the farmers, would have
scored again, the pigshn being on the
soldiers 5-yard line.

Independence. Kas.. Oct. 24.-The Re-
porter says: The best window glass

mence business on or about the first of
November right here at independence.
The blast furnaces were completed last
night and the fire turned on this fore
noon. The fire will be kept going for
possibly two weeks before the furnaces
burning is required for the seasoning
of the furnaces and pots, the latter be-
ing made wholly OF green fire clay.
There are two blast furnaces, IL feet
6 inches by 10 feet inside. constructed
almost entirely of fire brick and fire
clay and built somewhat on the plan
of the down-draft furnaces at the brick
plant. Outside they are bound and
ribbed with steel ties to prevent ex-
pansion. Six pots are used in each and
at these furnaces the gatherers work.
1t is in these pots that the raw material
Is melted and worked into shape for the

and first and foremost. the furnaces

The pots were purchased of the Dun
Kirk Window Glass company, owned by
George Schlosstein, who also holds about
$4,000 worth of stock in the business
here. These pots are about three feet
Deep two and half feet at the top,
three inches thick, and looks like huge
flower pots. They cost between fifty
and sixty dollars each. A pot will not
stand the great heat very long, and
their renewal is a big item of expense.
The sand used in the manufacture of
glass is obtained in Indiana, Missouri,
West Virginia and Germany.
The furnaces were built by Mr. w.
NJ Thompson, an expert furnace builder
or eighteen. years experience, who has
been here since the 7th of August 1t

son has done this far west. He is in

here, has exercised great care in the con-

Everything, SO far as the furnaces arc
concerned, is in apple pie order. Mr..
Thompson will be in town day or two
yet watching. and testing the furnaces,
returning to Dunkirk in good time to
vote.

Notre Danes magnificent courage and
hard and desperate menacing of the

Yost wanted for his men.
From Minnesota comes the report that
the gophers had not been properly coached.
Coach Best went on the field at Illinois
to tell his captain that the referees de-

game, and his team was penalized five
yards for the coach's walking out on the
field Dead right said Best as he walk

what Yost told his wolverines after the
game. He is indeed a strenuous coach.

Bob Wrenn writes from the east that
Harvard coaches are much chagrined over

two tackles ba5ly and the material Is not
very promising, but the coaching is being
systematically done.

If shorter halves are desired the watch
may be set for them.

An odd Pet.

Not many women have owned more
unique pets than the baby lhinoceros
which amuses Mrs. Cook. wife of the
governor of North Borneo, a British
possession. The governors house is
near a jungle, which is filed with wild
animals. Out of this Jungle of under
growth a baby riliaoceroS strayed one
morning and was captured without
much difficulty. Sixteen quarts of
milk day is the amount the hungry
baby usually demands. and on it it has
thriven and grown fat. This child of
the jungle looks very little like the
full-grown phinoceros. If it were not
for its single horn one might take him
for a peculiar species of hog. He is
about the same size and covered with Il
shaggy coat of black hair. The baby
rhinoceros follows Mrs. Cook about like
q faithful dog. but it will not be long,
if he keeps on growing, before he be-
comes too cumbersome even for North

o'Rrien Whips Jeforda.

Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien bested Jim Jeffords of
California, in a six round contest at the
Broadway Athletic club last night. JEFF
fords was almost half a head taller than
O'Brien and had every natural advant-
age, but could do little with the latter
o. Brien took no chances, however, and
fought cautiously. At the outset O'Brien
knocked Jeffords down with a blow on
the head, but Jim was UP in an instant.
JeffOrds showed that he was a clever
boxer. O'Brien put Jeffords down for
the count in the second round. Jeffords
also went down in the sixth round. The
fight was O'Brien's from start to finish.

DID HE MURDER HIS WIFE?
Dying, She Exonerates Husband, but
Child's Story May Convict.

Louisville, Ky. Oct 24-Exonerated
by the last words of dying wife, Geo.
Melton, a lumberman, is accused of her
death by the testimony of his seven
year-old boy. the only witness to the
tragedy The woman was shot early
this morning and died in an hour later
at the hospital.
The only statement that could be got
from her was. George didn't mean it;
it was an accident" This she said over
and over again, the one purpose in her
mind seeming to be to save her husband
from any consequence of his act Mel
tons own story of the shooting was that
he had been. cleaning the pistofa that
it had accidentally been discharged.
That REV of the case would unuues-
tionably have been accepted had not
the little boy said to the arresting Of
ficers: Papa had the pistol in his hand
and said he was going to shoot, then it
went off"

SURPRISE OF THEIR LIVES.
New Workers Were Not Expecting
That Hiawatha Shake-Up.

New York, Oct. 24-The stockholders of
the St Joseph and Grand Island railway
gave the officials and directors of that
road the surprise of their lives at the an
nual meeting held at Hiawatha, Kan.
They turned down the entire board Of
directors, with the exception of the three
Kansas members, and gave five new
stockholders a chance to show what they
can do as directors. The new members
are David Wood. c. H. Impoff. A. Dreksr
and F. NJ. Reightey of New York and F..
Dupuy of St. Joseph. This necessitates
complete change in the officials of the
road. New York interests are now in
control ana will make many changes in
the system.
Although official confederation of the
statement is lacking. there is good reason
TIC believe that the St Joseph and Grand
Island railroad has been acquired by TIE
Hartman interests, and viii ultimately
become part of the Union Pacific system.
The new directors arc believed to repre-
sent the Hartman interest.
