SENATOR BLACKBURN of Kentucky
thinks that Senator German is the
logical candidate for President on the
Democratic ticket. There are so
mauy others who think exactly diff
ferent, however, We feel like sticking
to our original proposition-and We
still call for dark horse.
Both are good men in their own
way, but we think that Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Bryan have each had
their share of Democratic nominations.

Counterfeit Gold.

The gold used in color printing and on
the mirror and picture frames is not
from the pure gold leaf, but is compo-
sition of bronze and spelter. 1t resem-
bles the genuine so closely that few peo-
pie know the difference. To tell the
difference between the genuine Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters and the many i'm
itations offered for it, some of which are
put up IN the empty Hostetter bottles, is
to observe that the Private Stamp over
the neck is unbroken. Refuse all 9th
ers if you value your health. The gen
uine has a record Of fifty years of cures
of such ailments as nausea, dizziness,
fiatulency, headache, heartburn, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and malaria, fever
and ague back of it, If you have never
tried it, do so today.

The Coffee Plant is always brown.
And always has its leaves turned down.
It's neither black. it, neither white
But always does its little right.
Many of the children who were fortunate
enough to go themselves took their plants to
the country. One little girl took her plant out
of the pot and set it in the garden put it back
in the pot, and again set it out. She wonders
why it did not grow. Another little girl writes:
The reason I did not take my plant to the
country was I thought the little pussy might
have made kind of sound that it might have
got afraid, or it might have bit it."
Some of the reports were in diary form, one
having daily reports and hours of watering.
The watering record of one plant successive

COAL COMING DOWN.
Price of Anthracite in Domestic
Sizes Has Been Cut.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.-Officials of the
Reading and Pennsylvania railroads say
no step had yet been taken toward a
curtaiiment of the output of anthracite
and that the matter has not even been
considered. 1t was admitted, however,
by an official of one of the companies
that the market for the domestic sizes
was practically dead and that some
curtailment of output would have to be
made soon. He added that he would not
be surprised if the miners were put on
four days a week in short time.
Meanwhile Independent operators,
without any storage facilities for their
surplus output, are said to be cutting
the circular prices for the domestic
sizes as much as 40 cents per ton, offer
ing the coal for So. 80 at the mines as
against the circular price of $50

Governor Refuses to Allow Railroad
to Use States Name.

Governor Bailey has given the legal
department of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas railroad TO understand that he
will not allow the. name of the state of
Kansas to be used by the railroad COM
pany in bringing an action in the
United States1 supreme court to get
possession of a vast amount of valuable
land in the Indian Territory.
The comDany could bring its own
suit in lower federal court without
using the name of the state. and the
governor decided that this is what it
will have to do if it wants to sue any
body. An original proceeding cannot
be brought in the United States su-
preme court unless a state is party to
it, and this is why the railroad COM
pany asked to be allowed to use the
name of the state. General Solicitor
James Hagerman, of ST. Louis, came
here with General Attorney T.. N.
Sed0wick to lay the matter before the
governor. They argued that it would
be better for all parties concerned to
bring the action in the United States
supreme court. so as to get the title
to the land settled as soon as possible.
but Governor Bailey thought if this
were the case the attorneys on both
sides ought to make a stipulation to
! that effect. He said if both sides would
agree to It he would allow the name
of the state to be used, but otherwise
he did not believe in dragging the state
into a private lawsuit.

TOPEKA BOYS ARE OUT.
Griggs and Fleischman at Prac-
tice With II. U. Squad.

Lawrence, Kas., Sept. 16.-Coach
Weeks is giving the Jayhawker foot
ball squad all the work it can stano
now. The practice Tuesday afternoon
was faster than it has been any other
day this season. For the first time
Weeks had full team lined up and
going through signal practice, and be-
sides these he had smaller squads, con-
sisting of center and backs, limber1ng
up. only the backs carried the ball.
and he has not yet tried to introduce
any new PLAYS. He wants the men to
get used to his style of playing first,
and then it will be much easier FOR
them to give them new ideas.
Griggs and Fleischman, the two To-
peka high school players, We're out in
suits for the first time, Sand both
showed up we'll. Griggs should make
great halfback or fullback. . His
stripped weight when in training is $50
pounds. and he is fast on his feet.
Griggs is in fairly good training at
present. though somewhat under
weight. Yeo. who played at halfback
for time last season, has returned and
will be out for place at once. Yeo is
hard worker and played some good
games last year, and is a very desirable
addition to the sqtad. pooler has not
yet returned. but has written that he
will be here soon. There. are several
other candidates for quarter, and some
of them are doing good work. but
Pooler will in. all probability get the
place II ne returns, as ne played a great
game last year. Jenkinson is also at
the university but his studies are SO
arranged that he fears he will be I'M
able to play this year.
Coach Weeks is coaching his men to
punt with the ball held straight out
from the body. about shoulder high.
The foot is turned in slightly, and the
result is that the ball is given a spiral
motion and is very hard to receive.
Cooke. who played some last year at
half. has been doing some good work
kicking in this manner, and Griggs was
started to work at it with good results.
Word was received from the Nebras-
ka management stating that Nebraska
would prefer to have the Kansas
Nebraska game transferred to Kansas
City. The Nebraskans say that if the
game is played in Kansas City big
exc ursion will be run from the Ne
braska town, and that the Cornhusk-
ers VIII be ACCOMPANIED by large
crowd of students, which would not be
the case were the game to be played
in Lawrence. 1t is the opinion of many
that 2s many Kansas university stu
dents would go to Kansas City to see
the game would turn out on the
home grounds, and it is pretty nearly
safe to say that Kansas City will get
the game.
