When the yells subsidized for minute,
Prof. D. L. McEachron stepped to the
front of the Washburn chapel stage this
morning and said through a megaphone:
1.-THE trustees held a meeting this
morning, and voted that for the rest of
the day, all the Washburn faculty is
suspended, and the members of the
football team will take their places
Captain Dadisman will act as president

When the members of the team
climbed off the train, they were carried
on the shoulders of the boys to carry
all and loaded in. Two 100-foot ropes
had been attached to the wagon, and
the cheering and excited students got

MUCH SCARLET FEVER.
People in Oakland Are Not Re-
porting the Cases.

DR.. G. F. Menninger, president of the
board of health, announced today that
there is an epidemic of scarlet fever in the
east part of town and that people are
calling it scarletina and are not making
report of the cases to the board of health.
The cases are mostly in Oakland and in
the vicinity of the brick school house.
There are a great many cases." says
DR.. Menninger. How many we have
means of knowing. We want people to
report cases of this disease and aid US in
suppressing the epidemic. While tho
disease is in mild form, severe cases may
be contracted from it,
This is the first time since w. d. Storrs
has been city physician that any official
admission has been secured from any
member of his department that there is
any epidemic in town, or that the publica-
ton of the fact would be of any assistance
to the public in protecting itself. It is
gratifying to note that a change of heart
seems to be taking place in the health
department.
It is not at all surprising, however, that
the people should try to suppress cases of
contagious disease when they have such
an illustrious example of that system as

ADVANCE IN COAL.
Predicted Rise Is Officially Made
Today.
Made

Today notice was received by To-
peka coal dealers. as the State Journal
announced Thursday would probably be
the case, of a raise of 20 cents ton in
the price of Burlingame coal. This will
make Burlingame cost $4.75 on the To-
cal market instead of $3.50.
Several Topeka coal dealers have gone
to Burlingame and Usage City to try
to buy up a, big supply of coal. They
fear that the price is going to go still
higher, and they are going to stock up
now for the winter, if it is possible to
do so.
1t will be few days before the raise
of 25 cents at the mines is reflected in
the local market, for some of the deal
ers will continue to sell what coal they
have on hand at the old price.

were the marShalS of the day. Each
was mounted on horseback, and one
rode at each side of the procession.
Manager Leach said of the game at
Columbia: I'VE could have beaten
that team 80 to o if we had been in
good condition, and had had Caldwell
with US It is one of the easiest things
we have struck this year. In the last
half when Missouri put in its first
team, all fresh. with the intention of
beating US to death, we simply cut
loose and tore them all to pieces. Our
boys did not get limbered up till the
last half. In the last half we had
Missouri going all the time"
None of the Washburn men were
hurt in the least. The team is in first
class shape for the Thanksgiving
game. There are no dates on the
schedule between nod and Thanks
giving.
On the way out to the college. the
procession stopped at the High school.
at Bethany college, and at the Kan
sas Medical college and gave 'sere-
made at each one.
Arriving at the chapel, the girls
formed in two long files from the
chapel doors to the street and the
boys picked up the members of the
team as they climbed out of the wagon
and carried them up into the chapel
on their shoulders. The members of
the team occupied seats on the plat
form, and four or five hundred students
crowded the auditorium. The band
played. and the students yelled.
One by one the members of the team
were called out for speeches, and were
wildly received. The speeches didn't
amount to much, but the members of
the team told the students that they
day game against Highland Park col
lege, If the school would continue to
whoop 'em up. The school unanimous
ly agreed to whoop.
Mehl and Lakin, two of the stars
tried to escape from the festivities by
away. A dozen students took after
them, and after a chase of half a mile,
brought them back by force. They ar
rived at the chapel in the midst of the
programme, and were carried up to the
platform.
The team was asked to sing a new
song which they invented while wait
ing for the train at Columbia, after the
game. They did so. and the words
were appropriate when it is recalled
that Mehl made run of so wards

Washburn's one touchdown.

The officials say that the boys made
three OF four trips to the boXcarS on
(. ) many successive days and each time
carried away load in a wagon. This
was done in the daytime, when the
men boarding in the cars were at
work, which makes the robbery a
