Fullback of Washburn Football Team
Here is a pointer for the people
who are trying to get a line on the
chances for Washburn in the game with
K. L. next Saturday: Three weeks ago,
Nebraska State university beat the
Lincoln NEEDLES u to O. Two weeks ago,
Nebraska beat Haskell 16 to 0. and Sat-
urday, Haskell beat K. .. u to 6. Fig
uring on this line of games, it looks as
though Washburn's chance to defeat
both Haskell and K. u. was very good
To inspire WaShburn to go its best
against X U, the Topeka Elks have
offered to raise purse of $500 for the
Washburn Athletic association if the
Washburn team wins this one game.
There is not much danger, however,
of overconfidence on the part of Wash
burn The general opinion, both among
the college students and in town is that
K. L. has the better chance, and that if
Washburn wins it will be by the skin
of its teeth Washburn ought to be in
good shape for the game. and it is sure
that every man will play the game of
his life.
Washburn's victory Saturday was due
to superior team work. AS far as in
dividuaI playing is concerned, nothing
better than the work of Du Croy and
Snyder of the Medics has ever been seen
on Washburn field. But they could1' t
play the whole game. Du CrOy is coach
Of the Medic team, and a former star on
the BelOit. Wis. Although a coach, he
was allowed to play because the Medics
are not under the presidents agree
ment. Du Croy is q wonderful player
He weighs 100 and runs like an expresA
train He is as hard to stop as was
Roberts. the halfback of the Washburn
team in 1900.
Snyder. the Medic left halfback, play
ed brilliant game, and in spite of sew
eral hard falls, pluckily stayed in the
game until within three minutes OF the
close, when he was so badly Jared up
that he had to be carried from the field.
1t was feared for a time that he had
sustained serious injuries, and he was
taken to Christ hospital in the patrol
wagon. An examination at the hospital
showed however, that he was simply
suffering with an old rupture. He was
fixed up and left the hospital in cou-
pie of hours.
For Washburn, the most spectacular
work was done by Caldwell, whose two
6O-yard runs were great exhibitions of
speed. Wehe at fullback did first class
work. and is the surest ground gamer
Washburn has. Hill did a little grand
stand trick when he got the ball on q
tumble and ran 40 yards. Delay played
ut quarter, and did even better than in
the Emporia game.
Washburn's new formation on defense
seemed. to work well on line plays, and
in general the ends did well on defense.
Again and again Washburn forced the

SALT TRUST SCHEME.
Gets Low Freight Rates by Means OF
Fake Railroad.

Sheridan Plough, a Hutchinson ed
itor has unearthed a scheme devised by
the salt trust to evade the F,lkins rail-
road law. The Elkins law prevents dis
elimination through rebates. The salt
trust, so Plough says, had been used
to getting rebates in the past, so it had
to get up a plan to get them in the
future. That was the only wav it
could get an advantage over independ-
ent salt companies. His expose was
brought about by some CORRESPONDENCE
with the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Railroads which originate through
business get a drawback" on freight
charges. So the agents of the salt

is that nothing but salt is shipped over

and the joint tariff sheets only contain
salt rates. Therefore. it only gets a
drawback on money paid for the move

The interstate commerce commission
was curious to know where the Hutch

had got its tariff sheets. but couldn't
find the road on the map so it wrote
to the Missouri Pacific to find out. The
general traffic manager replied that the
road had acquired valuable terminal
facilities in the vicinity of Hutchinson

FEARED A U. 8. FORT.
Canadians Will Now Build Their Line
to Portland Channel

According to advices received from
Canada, the Alaska boundary decision
makes certain the construction of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railroad. the west
ern terminus of which is to be Port
Simpson The decision gives Canada
control of the Portland Channel, which
would make it impossible for the United
States to build a fort opposite Fort
Simpson 1t appears that the Canadian
government hesitated to subsidize the
Grand Trunks Pacific partly on account
of the uncertainty regarding American
or British control of the Portland Chan
mel. Preparations are being made to
place orders for 5000 box cars and 9TH
err equipment. 1t is said that T. M.
Havs will be made president and that
the hest men from the various depart
ments of the Grand Trunk will be trans
ferred to the Grand Trunk Pacific.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But IL Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if

and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food like
eggs, beefsteak, and cereals: in other
words the kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part of our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork. does
not properly digest and assimilate it,
which is the reason SO many people re-
main thin and under weight; the diges-
tive organs do not completely digest the
food forming beefsteak and eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs
If such persons would lay their pred
JUDGES aside and make regular prac-
tice of taking. after each meal one or
two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to reach its natural tone and

MEET TROLLEY COMPETITION
New York Central to Build Trolley
Lines of Its Own.

New York, Oct. 26.-The New York Cen
trail railroad is planning to establish cleo
trio roads as suburban branches in the
central and western parts of this state in
order to save local traffic which has been
cut into heavily by the independent trolley
competition. The policy which the Central
adopted two years ago for meeting trolley
competition by reducing fares and in
creasing the number of trains, has proved
inenectfve. A section, of the Rome, Wa
is leased to the New York Central, is to
be equipped with electricity. it. is claimed
and New York Central trolley cars can
be run to and from all points along the
southern shore of Lake Ontario. This
project will possibly also absorb the ex-
lines.

TRACK DISAPPEARS.
Like North Topeka Sewer, It Sinks in

disappeared, and workmen are trying 10

through a swamp which was bridged
by a trestle work. Several weeks ago
the track began settling, and for more
than a week a large gang mas peeIi

The track is on the Wabash Chicago

The Score at End of the Second
Half Stood 90 to 0.
THE GAME WAS RAPID.
Wearers of the Blue Gave Good
Account of Themselves.
Interference Shows Up Rather
Ragged and Weak.

Washburn piled up a score of 90 to
against the Lincoln, Neb., Medics Sat
urday afternoon on Washburn field
The score looks bad for the Medics, but
they played a good game, and three of
Washburn's five touchdowns were not
exactly earned by the sweat of the
brow. Twice Caldwell got away and
sprinted half way down the field for
touchdowns, and once Hill picked up a
tumble and ran 40 yards with it across
the goal line.
