OFF FOR MISSOURI.
Washburn Football Team Meets
Tigers Tomorrow.

Very much battered and sore, the
WashburE football team left this morn
ing at 7:30 for Columbia, Mo-, where it
will play the Missouri State university
on Wednesday.
Manager Leach said today: 81 don't
believe that our boys have any chance
to win; we are too sore from the terrific
game with Lindsborg. About all we can
hope to do is to hold the score down.
Every man on the team is suffering
from bruises and decorations. There
were no serious injuries. but we have
not had time to get over the Linds-
borg game, that's all.
Caldwell will not be allowed to play
in Missouri because of his color This
will weaken US decidedly. Stewart will
not be able to play because of his lame
back, which has not been doing as well
as we hoped it would. With these two
men out, and all the rest of the players
not bit anxious for rough work, it is
rather a hopeless struggle.
tIt has not been decided how the
team will be rearranged for the game,
on account of CaldwelPs absence. Lakin
will probably play half. Anderson will
go to end, and Delay will take quarter.
Maxwell win play in Stewards place,
and Amick, Carrothers and Platt will be
in reserve"

COLOMBIA'S PROTEST.
It Is Addressed to the Senate
of the United States.

Washington, Nov ia protest of
the Colombian government against the
recognition by the United States of the
independence of Panama has been re-
ceived by Senator Frye. as president
pro tenn. of the senate. The document
was not laid before the senate because
of the Diplomatic requirement that it
should be transmitted through the sec
rotary of state. 1t is in Spanish. and
Senator Frye had it translated. with a
view of having 1t transmitted to Sec
rotary Hay. It will be sent to the sec
rotary with the request it be speedily
returned when Senator Frye will lay
it before the senate.
1t is as follows:
ITO His Excellency, the President of
the Senate. Washington:
'Excenency - The government and
people of Colombia have been painfully
surprised at the notification given by
the minister of the United States to
the effect - that the government at
Washington had fastened to recognize
barracks coup in the department of
Panama.
1.-THE bonds of sincere and uninter-
rupted friendship which unite the two
governments and the two peoples: the
solemn obligation undertaken by the
American union in a public treatv to
guarantee the sovereignty and prop
erty of Colombia in the isthmus of
Panama; the protection which the clti-
zens of that country enjoy and will
continue to enjoy among us; the ma
tional principles of the American gov
eminent in opposition to secession
movements: the good faith which has
characterized that great people in its
international relations; the manner in
which the revolution was brought
about and the precipitancy of it's rec
ognition, make the government and
people of Colombia hope that the SEN
ate of the people of the United States
will admit her obligations to assist US
in maintaining the integrity of our
territory and in depressing that insur-
rection which is not even the result of
a popular feeling.
In thus demanding justice Colom-
bia appeals to the dignity and honor
of the American senate and people.

CHURCH anniversary.
Addresses Delivered by the
President and Mr.. Hay.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE browning
event in the centennial anniversary Of
the historical New York Avenue Pres
byterian church in this city took place
last night when a public meeting was
held which was attended by many of
the best known officials in the city.
They included President Roosevelt ano
Secretary Hay, both of whom made adj
dresses. Secretaries Shaw, Moody,
Hitchcock and Cortelyou, Attorney
General Knox, the greater number OF
justices of the supreme court of the
United States and Senator Frye. Justice
Harlan of the supreme court presided
The president and Secretary Hay occu-
pied the Lincoln pew, and both had
something to say of the martyred pres
ident Secretary Hays brief address
being confined exclusively to that sub
ject. President Roosevelt said in part:
I'VE can divide and must divide on
party lines as regards the vital ques-
lions. We can not afford to divide and
1 have the right to challenge the best
effort of every American worthy of the
name to putting down by every means
in his power corruption in private life
and above all corruption in public life
And, remember you, the people of this
government by the people that while
the public servant, the legislator, the
executive officer, the Judge are not to
be excused if they fall short of their
duty yet that their doing their duty
cannot avail unless you do yours. In
the last resort we have TO depend upon
the jury drawn from the people to con-
Wet the scoundrel who has tainted our
public life and unless that jury does
its duty, unless it is backed by the
public sentiment of the people all the
work of the legislators, of executive
officer or judicial officer are for naughI.
tt would be trite to say anything about
Lincoln and yet am going to point to
one thing: In reading his works ana
speeches, his addresses, one is struck
by the fact that as he went higher and
higher all personal bitterness seemed to
die out of him. In the Lincoln-Douglass
debate one can still catch now and
then a note of personal antagonism.
The man was on the arena and as
the blows were given and taken you
could see now and then that he had a
feeling against his antagonist. When
he became president and faced the crisis
that he had to face from that time on
/ do not think that you can find any
expression, speech of Lincoln, a word
of Lincoln written or spoken, in which
bitterness is shown to any man. His
devotion to the cause was so great tina
he neither could not would have feel
ing against any individual
Mr.. Hay said in part:
I'VE should never forget that Abra-
ham Lincoln was one of the most faith
full and devoted servants of Almighty
God that ever sat in high places. When
he stood on the rear platform of the
his home to the capital of the nation,
ne spoke to his people. acknowledging
his dependence on God and asked their
prayers. And from that time on he
again and again declared his faith in
Divine Providence

A SOCIALISTIC IDEA.
Three Ottawa Families to Try
Cooperative Housekeeping.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov IA co-opera-
tive Housekeeping club is the latest eff
fort at solving the problems of domes-
tic life in Ottawa.
Mr.. M. r. Harris and family, Mr..
and Mrs. C. B. Voorhis and Mr.. and
Mrs. W. A. Deford form the club.
The Sherman cottage on Elm street,
formerly occupied by Mr.. and Mrs J.
A. Davenport, has been rented for a
club house, and dining room and kitchen
have been fitted up. Miss Amanda An
derson has been installed as matron.
Three meals a day will be served. The
ladies who are members of the club will
take turns purchasing the supplies for
a week at a time and a daily menu will
be furnished the matron for her guild
ance. Mr.. Glare Harris is treasurer
and the only offieer-of the club. The
members will contribute a certain speci-
fed sum-to be regulated by the neces-
stiles of the organiza tion-to the treas
urer weekly. This common fund will be
drawn upon by the purchasing commit
tee for the clubs expenses.
The club is the outgrowth of several
conditions, one of which, may be
conjectured, being the hired girl prob
lem. 1t is difficult to secure sufficient
number of households. therefore the de-
cision has been reached to com bine
the domestic needs and place them in
charge of one whose competency has
been proved. A second girl will also be
employed.
in a general way it is expected that
the joint housekeeping plan will reduce
expenses, as groceries and supplies will
be purchased in quantities and conse-
quently at lower prices while only one
kitchen and dining room will have to
be maintained.

EXTEND ON THIRD STREET.
Citizens Want City Railway to Ex-
tend to Buchanan.

On Thursday evening a meeting of
property owners living in the Fourth
ward who are interested in the extern
sion of the West Third street car line
to Buchanan street, has been called
to be held in the Commercial club
rooms
The Topeka railway company is now
engaged in the reconstruction OF the
old West Fourth car line and proposes
to turn the tracks to Third street and
run on Third from Polk street as far
west as Western avenue, where THIRD
street remains unopened. The consent
of the owners of the property through
which it is desired to run the street
have agreed on the price for which
they will release the ground wanted.
The property has been once appraised
by the city but the formallties for
opening the street were never carried
out. W. H. Fernald, one of the own
ers. will accept the price at which the
ground was appraised by the city. 1t
is believed that Dudley Pratt, the
other owner, will do likewise. 1t is
desired that the city council pass a
resolution agreeing to make the formal
appralsement of the property next
year and to bay these owners for their
ground when that is done.
1t is believed that the street can be
actually opened for use this fall and
that the building of the street car line
chanan. Vice President Myers of the
Topeka railway company said that he
believed it likely his company would
make the extension if the property
owners secured the opening of the
street.

CONNECTS TO BE BROUGHT.
Leavenworth Mutineers Will Soon Be
Here.

During the latter part of this week
the ten convicts who are to be tried
in the United States circuit court on
the charge of murder, they having
taken part in the mutiny at the Leav-
enworth penitentiary when Guard
Wa1drupe was killed, will be brought
to Topeka for trial The November
term of the u. S. circuit court will
open on November %. The trial of the
mutineers will be one of the first mat
tiers for consideration.
Warden McClaughry will transfer
the convicts to Topeka as quietly as
possible, and it is probable an effort
will be made to conceal the time of
their arrival here. Word has been re-
ceived here from Texas that Hewitt,
the prisoner who is serving time there
for horse theft, has been pardoned and
will be rearrested and brought back
Immediately by the federal authorities
Hewitt could not be released from the
Texas penitentiary until the governor
OardOu had been secured.
