The State Journal has received the
following communication from an APP

on it's own responsibility vouch for the
facts:

Down in Mikes cellar lurking in the

under his bedroom are some fine spec

no one to intrude on his fish preserves

He has signed a contract with the En-

promises to be one of the best contests
of the year as AIilt whites pets have
lost but one game this season, and have
one victory over Washburn to their
credit. That game really decides the
state championship. because Kansas

will be much of an aid towards a vic
