The annual report for the year ended

about 81 per cent on the stock This
was about ] Z per cent less than in the

chiefly to delays in the movement OF

OF earnings for the first five months of

by bankers that If exchange should de-

from Europe, probably from Paris. The
gold that has already been received from
Australia and that which is now ia

country in anticipation of just such a

having all this week, and there is little
doubt that more VIII come from Austria

FOOTBALL AT COLUMBIA.
Coach Mclean Has Thirty-five Men
at Practice.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept 1.-Thursday
was the first time that the football
squad practiced on Rollins field, and 1t
was a good sized one. numbering thirty
five men Mclean had his tackling
dummy up and ready for use, and for
one hour the men were instructed how
to tackle. Very few of the men tackled
in a maner that suited the coach He
favors the diving style of tacklinS, and
the efforts of most of the men were, OF
course clumsy. Anderson, Smith and a
few other old men did pretty good work.
Next the coach drilled the men on
charging, opening holes, lining up for
kickoff and other work to make them
think and act quickly and precisely He
selected a first and second team, placed
them in position for the kickoff, and
gave instructions in the rules which
govern this phase of the game
1t may sound strange, but Mclean
has found that many of the old men are
very weak in their knowledge OF the
simplest rules of football. Before prac-
tice each day he takes out his rule book
and teaches the men rules by asking
what they would do if such and such a
play would happen. Many meetings Will
be held in the evening this season in
order that the men may know the rules
thoroughly Coach Mclean says that
it is a fault with great many teams
that all the men do not know every rule
It will not be long before every man Ola
the squad will at least know the rules.

WERE HUNTING BUGS.
DR.. Snow and Party Make a
Collection for h. L.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE return of
DR.. +. H. Snow of the University of KAN
sas from a second chronological collect
ing expedition this summer for the insti-
tuition marks the termination of a very
successful trip. DIR. Snow was accom-
panied by DR.. Charles F. Adams and G.
p. Mackenzie of Kansas City and Eugene
Smith of Topeka
The party left here about six weeks ago
and went direct to southern Arizona,
camping on branch of the Colorado
river. The collecting work was highly
successful, both from the point of the
number of specimens obtained and the
number of new species secured. More
than Is, 900 specimens were brought back
and DR.. Snow estimates that from 81 TO
100 are new to science. The tabulated list
Coleoptera, 5,430; diptera, 4,50O; lepidop-
terra, / 925; hymenoptera, ,SS2 orthoptera,
$50; hemiptera, 232; neuroptera, 1863.
The butterflies and moths were col
lected for the most part at night time by
spreading on a large cottonwood tree near
the camp molaSses and beer, which at
tracted this class of insects. In the two
trips made by DR.. Snow this summer 3d.
600 specimens have been secured, and
these at the outlay of $500 appropriated
by the board of regents for the purpose.
Over 100 of a. species of beetles were Sc
cured that is listed at 81 apiece.
The success of the work has placed the
chronological collection at the University
of Kansas second only to that of Har-
ward university in the United States mere
are about 200 more species here than are
to be found in the National Museum at
Washington.
