A BLOW TO HASKELL.
Indian Football Team Loses Seven of
Their Players.

Kansas City, Nov. 29.-The ruling
of the Chicago conference the other
day, by which Haskell and Carlisle
take rank as colleges and come under
the conference rules, certainly shot the
Haskell football team all to pieces.
Under the eligibility rules. which bar
all players who have served their var
sity eleven four years or more from
future participation in games with col
Ieges or universities recognizing the
conference provisions, Haskell will lose
seven of her star players. These are
the following: Archiquette, Emil
HauSer, Warren, Falls, Dubois, Felix
and Oliver Peter Hauser may play
one more year.
Other Missouri valley elevens have
not, of course. suffered under the four
year rule this year so much as Haskell.
Missouri does not lose a single player.
Kansas loses Hicks and Nebraska loses
Bender, but the lineup of every Mis-
souri, valley team except Haskell will
next year be practically the same as
this year.
Kansas, particularly. will have a
strong eleven next year. With the ex-
ception of Michaelson, the star center
of the Missouri valley, all the Jay
hawkers of 1904 will be Jayhawkers
in 1905. Michae1son will graduate
next spring, and it is understood that
he cannot be persuaded to remain for
a postgraduate course for the purpose
of playing on the 1905 eleven. This
will be a vacancy difficult for Kansas
to fill. but in other respects the team
will be strong to all appearances.

INVESTIGATE BILL OF LAD1NG.
Interstate Commerce Commission VIII
Probe Charges against Railroads.

Word has been received by the IIli-
.nois Manufacturers association at
Chicago that the interstate commerce
commission would, December 5, in
vestigate the efforts of the railroad
companies to enforce the proposed
uniform bill of lading. The hearing
will take place in the United States
court rooms in the Monadnock build
ing at Chicago at 10 a. m.
According to the secretary of the
association, who has been collecting
evidence for the hearing, the proposed
uniform bill of lading will increase the
net earnings of the carriers between
Chicago and New York more than any
other move they have successfully put
through in recent years. The revenue
from freight traffic, the shippers
claim, has steadily increased, and they
also assert that the carriers are about
to inaugurate the bill of lading with
out their ascertaining that it is a
revenue measure.
A large number of associations
signed the petition with the Illinois
Manufacturers association, and will
hold conference the latter part of
this week with Levy Mayer, who is to
conduct the proceedings as counsel.
Shippers believe the hearing is the
most important that has taken place
before the interstate commission in
years.

OUTLAND IS BACK.
He Says Haskell Indians Used Three
Coaches.

Coach John Outland returned yester-
day from st. Louis where he saw the
Haskell-Carlisle Indian football game.
He is naturally feels keenly over the
game but says that the people do not
understand the circumstances.
1.-The fact isl says DIR. Outland,
Carlisle brought 35 men to st. Louis.
They played Ohio State on Thanksgiv
ing but didn't use the team they
brought to st. Louis, while all the Has
ken players were in against Washing
ton in Thanksgiving and were natural
ly more or less sore.
But that was not all. Carlisle used
its three coaches in the game. Rodgers,
the head coach, played end while Be
mis- and Hawley Pierce, the other two
coaches were in the back field. Bemis
Pierce weighs 220 and Hawley 210 and
the Haskell line simply could not hold
them. tOf.course it was not fair and it
is duesto Haskell to explain these
things. There are two old Haskell men
on the Carlisle team, Francis Red
and Billy Gradner.'

NEW ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE.
Structure Destroyed by Floods al
Chickaslla VIII Be Replaced.

Chickasha, I. T., Nov. 29.-Rock
Island engineers have completed their
work preparatory to the construction
of new bridge over the South Cana
dian river near Chickasha the old one
having been one of those destroyed
during the great flood last summer.
Citizens of Chickasha were some
what concerned as to rumors to the eff
feet that the Rock Island would put
in the new bridge some miles further
up the river, thus changing the route
of the railroad, but this plan has been
abandoned by the railroad company,
and the old site will be used for the
new bridge, which will be much larger
and stronger than the former. Build
ing of the new structure will not in
terfere with the running of trains.

PIECE WORK ON BURLINGTON.
Experiment Being Tried at Round
House at Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 29.-The first of
the past week the Burlington inaugu-
rated piece work schedules in engine
handling at the Lincoln round house.
Those who handle the engines are
paid by the amount of work done, and
the piece work schedules are effective
after the enginemen leave the engine
at clinker pit. The work done on the
engine until after it is turned over to
the enginemen again on the round
house switch is all paid for by the
piece. For the five days the system
was in effect the past week many of
the men increased their pay rate. 1t
is said that in some cases the rate of
pay was increased 40 per cent, while
in many cases the increase reached
20 per cent.
The work in the machine shop is all
done by the hour and it is not an
nounced that the piece work system
will be introduced here. This may
follow later, but no notice of it has
been given.

ADAMS RENTS A HOUSE.
Colorado's Governor-elect Confident of
Being Seated.

Denver, Nov. elect
Alva Adams has arrived here from his
home in Pueblo and viii remain until
after the banquet to be given in his
honor tonight. He does not take the
threat of the Republicans to prevent
his accession to the governorship seri-
ously and has rented house here for
the two years of his term. Mr. Adams
expressed the opinion that Governor
Peabody, after an investigation of the
election returns. would reach the con
cEdsion that he was not the peoples
choice for governor and would grace
fully retire.
1t is announced that Governor Pea
body will appoint two additional JUS
tees of the supreme court, irrespective
of whether he holds office the next
term or not. Under the constitutional
amendment adopted at the recent cleo
ton the court of appeals and supreme
court consolidate on April next and
two of the seven judges provided for
are to be named by the governor. The
legislature will meet one week before
the next term of governor begins. Dur
ing that time ,or prior the state can
wasting board will declare the amend
ment adopted. Governor Peabody
will make the appointments and the
senate, if Republican, will confirm
them. Should the Democrats control
the senate Governor Peabody's APP
pointments will be rejected and Gov
ernor Adams will appoint the two
judges
May Throw Out More Votes.
The canvass of the votes in Denver
and Pueblo counties has not yet been
completed, but from the unofficial re-
turns it appears that the Democrats
will control the senate by a majority
of two or three unless the state can
wasting board throws out two or more
of the Democrats who are apparently
elected, as planned by the Repub-
licans, who are preparing charges of
fraud and seats the Republican can
dfdates. The Democrats are endeaVor-
ing to checkmate their opponents by
preparations to prosecute Republican
workers for alleged violations of the
election laws.
Mrs. Rosa Snyder was arrested to-
day on warrants charging her with
buying votes at the late election. Lizzie
Cummings and other women have
made, affidavit that Mrs. Snyder gave
them IS each to vote the Republican
ticket. Mrs. Snyder is a complainant
in one of the cases against Democrats
arrested on warrants issued by the

The remark was made by a railroad

synthesizes the situation exactly. Go
ing back to 1900, the four years inter-
vening furnish demonstration of its
truth. Some OF them may be listed as
follows:
The purchase of Baltimore & Ohio
by Pennsylvania
The purchase of Rock Island railway
by the Moore syndicate.
The purchase of Northern Pacific by
the Hartman syndicate.
The purchase of a big interest in

ownership of a minority interest in Bal
timore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio,

gylvania people know that under no
stress of circumstances could majori-
ty be gathered together against them
Mr.. Hartman is safe in his tenure of
Southern Pacific only for the same red-
SON A year and a half ago ]. R.
Keene tested the truth of this state
ment to a demonstration.
There is a rather obvious conclusion
to be drawn. 1t is that no railroad,
however great in capital, that occupies
a strong strategic position, can long re-
main independent. The various rail-
road powers that surround it grow anx-
ious about it. z. H. Hartman, for in
stance, fears that Missouri Pacific,
Rock Island, ]. ]. Hill, or perhaps some
unheard of syndicate, such, for in
stance, as the Kuhn, Loeb syndicate
that appeared in 1897 to claim Union
Pacific, may buy it over night He is
suspicious that he may read in the pa
pers some morning that Southern Pa
cific's one and only rival west of Ell
Paso has passed into unfriendly hands.
Similarly, Erie and Southern railway
will. as time goes on, pass under tire
hand of some one interest. The voting
trust of the latter protects it for the
time being, but the great syndicates
are patient So long as his Legitimate
piracy is the fashion among the finan-
ciers, the domination of ]. P. Morgan
& Co. over both Erie and Southern rail-
way must rest upon rather unstable
basis.
These are but examples. The reverse
of this proposition is also fairly true,
namely, that he who holds 81 per cent
of the voting stock of a corporation
may call himself secure, once he is in
possession. Cumulative voting and
classified boards may keep him out
otherwise. The single exception is the
case of E. H. Hartman, who encoun-

Fields, a White Cloud man, has re-

him nearly seven years ago and which
was doubtless in the mails all that
time. Early in 1898 Mr.. Fields was
engaged in the nursery business in
Fortescue, Mo. April>4, 1898, a let
ter was written to him and mailed at
Bartlett, Ia, by Henry Morgan, who
wished to purchase some young trees.
The envelope was rather frayed at the
edges when it finally reached Mr..
Fields and the letter bore evidence of
having been water soaked but neither
the Fortescue postmaster or the rail-
way mail clerks cam explain where it
has been for the last seven years. 1t
was forwarded from FoFtescue to
White Cloud as soon as received.

General Bell has been instructed by the
Texas railroad commission to institute
suits in the courts against the Houston
& Texas Central, the Texas & New Or
leans and the Houston, East &. West
Texas railway companies for forfeiture
charge of the properties. The basis of
the proposed suits is that the controll
ing stock of these companies is owned
by the Southern Pacific company,
corporation having it's domicile outside
of the state of Texas. 1t is charged
that the ownership of the stock of these
three Texas roads by the Southern Pa
cific amounts to a consolidation of the
roads in question, which is in violation
of the laws of this state. Proceedings
are to be also instituted against the
Southern Pacific to compel it to sever
all relations with the Texas properties.
