FUNSTON MAKES REPORT.
Submits to the Adjutant General His
Alaskan Observations

Washington, Nov. 25.-Brigadier Cen
eral Funston, commanding the district Of
the Columbia has submitted to the ad-
jutant general of the army a report of
his investigation of restitution among
the natives Of Alaska. He says that his
investigation was made in the summer
season, and that as the restitution COM
Tlained OF occurs only in the winter, the
cata he obtained was mostly from con-
versation with traders, missionaries
miners and other residents of the coun-
try. Most of the natives along the coast
of Alaska General Funston says, belong
TO the Thlinket race. They are Indians,
not EsquimauX, and he says there never
has been any general restitution among
them. But despite their general pros
perity, General Funston says, there are
some discouraging features regarding
their condition, the principal ones being
tuberculosis and liquor. The Yukon In
dams are described TO be in a more prim-
tive state but are honest and Industrious.
About the only reports of restitution
among the natives of the interior Of
Alaska General Funston states, have
been regarding those on Copper river,
but his information was that these In
dams were trifing.
Concerning the Alaskan Esquimaux.
General Funston says his existence has
always been a precarious one, dependent
upon his success in hunting and fishing.
After the EsquimauX obtained breech
loading rifles from the whalers in the
'70's caribou were slaughtered in the most
reckless fashion. There is now, Gen.
Funston says. a certain amount of dest-
tuition and occasionally starvation among
the Esquimaux, but it is not due to the
weather conditions but to conditions that
prevailed before the miners came to the
shores OF Boring sea. The natives all
but exterminated the caribou, and also
killed the walrus with the same reckless
disregard for the future.
General Funston says that under favor
(; BILE conditions the reindeer enterprise
in Alaska will remove any causes which
may now exist for destitutiin among the
Esquimaux. but that they are trifiing and
improvident. He recommends that they
be put under control of the department
of the interior and their aimless wander
ing and visits to mining towns and all
settlements Of white men be prevented
He advises that under no circumstances
should rations be distributed TO Them
gratuitously-
Concerning the Aleuts, who inhabit the
Alaskan peninsula and the adjacent coast
and the Aleutian islands. General Fun
ston says that although he never visited
their country. he is advised that they are
decreasing in numbers owing TO the
spread OF tuberculosis. their fondness for
liquor and the hard conditions of their
life due to the scarcity Of game.

ANNUAL GAME WILL
Be PLAYED TODAY

FOR THANKSGIVING DAY

On Paramount athletic field At p No.
sharp today will take place the fourth
annual football game between Farm punt
college and Friends university. Ever
since the time that Fr.enis university
opened there has been 4 sh ,rp conpe-
tition between it and Fairmount college,
especially in athletics.
During the first four years of its *
istence the universIt athletes kept the
college men from winning a single victory.
The games then were Orly Of local in
terest and were unimportan- as to their
standing in athletic circles, but the two
teams which will go into the contest
today are the ones between Nhlch the
championship Of a large part II this state
and Oklahoma usually lies During the
last two years the laurels Of victory have
gone to the Paramount representative,
who are striving TO hold the champion
ship as long as its opponents did AZ
present no one is able to tell where the
pigskin will land. as the contest promises
to be the most holly contested affair in
football that has ever occurred here.
In the last three years the game has
been very close. Three years ago the
score was Friends, II; Paramount 8. Two
years ago it was Friends, ); Paramount,
IL; and one year ago it was Friends, o;
Paramount 6. In these three games the
team that won the toss was the one
that won the game. The contest viii be
closer this year than has been expected
by some as the Friends team has been
strengthened materially. Both are in
fine shape physically and in good spirits.
Not Only will this be hard, snappy game,
but will be played by a bunch of men
who have the reputation of playing
manly game.

Music and Drama

Coming Attractions for
Wichita Amusement Lovers.

For several years it has been the Gus
tom of the Wichita Musical club to bring
al artist to Wichita for concert or recital.
Last year Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler
delighted music-lovers by a piano recital;
last night the artist was Ernest Richard
Kroeger who appeared in lecture recital,
his subject being "A Comparison of the
Italian. French and German Schools Of
Music"
Mr.. Kroeger is not a stranger to Wich-
tia musicians. as he gave an organ re-
cital at the Reformed church last sum
mer. so when Mrs Georgia Mccoy in
troduced him TO his audience he received
a round of applause from those who knew
a treat was in store.
The recital opened with a brief account
of the early Italian composers. the style
of whom Mr. kroeger Illustrated by brief
bits of music He is somewhat icono-
elastic and by his sharp comments upset
a number of conventional ideas regard
ing Italian opera arias. Those who lis
tened TO Melbas recent dramatic rendi-
ton of the Mad Scene from Lucia" were
informed that this aria is one in which
sentiment and music are exceedingly ill
suited.
In discussing the French composers Mr..
kroeger played a selection from Clicks
opera, 'Alceste,'' as arranged by Saint
Saens He also dwelt at some length
upon the Faust of GounOd and the
Carmen" of Bizet
Mozart. Beethoven and other German
composers We're discussed briefly in their
relation 10 the development of opera, but
the chief stress was laid upon the work
OF Wagner. After giving accounts OF
wagner's dramatic theories and works

the operas;

LIVES LOST AT FOOTBALL.
Season Hasn't Closed but Seventeen
Have Died,

New York. Nov. 25.-Even before the
football season is closed football for 1903
has outdone itself in one particular. The
death record for all previous years in
football is broken by the total of Il lives
ironed out by the wheels of the football
Juggernaut.
Last year it was Is. and the year before
it was 8. This years figures more than
double those Of but two years ago. There
are nothing like twice as many players
IN 1903 as there were in 1901.
This too. in spite Of the fact that the
new rules were designed with the idea Of
reducing the chances Of injury to a mini
mum.
In this respect the rules have had little
