PEARS RESEMBLE APPLES.
Basket of Curious Fruit Raised Near
LeaYenWorth.

r. L. Seymour of Boiling brought to
this Office a basket of exceptionally
fine pears that were grown on his
farm. The variety of the fruit is diff
ferent from that usually seen on the
local market, the pears resembling ap-
pies In shape. The choicest of the
specimens measured 1872 inches
around. Ninety-six of these pears
were picked from one four-year-old
tree.
Mr.. Seymour says the apple crop in
his district is far below the average.
The yield of Ben Davis apples, usually
a staple fruit is very poor. Winesaps
are a total failure, but the Jonathan
apple trees have produced very well.
Practically all of the acreage of fall
wheat is planted, he says, a great deal
of it being already up and in splendid
condition Late corn has made Won
derful advancement in the past thirty
days and the crop will be very good.
The crop of early corn will fall con-
siderabIy short of the usual yield per
acre. The most of it is in the shock.
Mr.. Seymour is one of the prosper
Gus farmers of Boiling vicinity. He
was born in this county and has lived
here all his life. He has found it pos
sible to make money out of the re-
sources of Leavenworth county

NO INDUCEMENTS, SAYS YosT.
Coach Issues Statement Explaining
Football Situation at Michigan.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. Coach
Yost of the University of Michigan
football team has issued a statement
in which he explains the football sit
uation at Michigan. Yost's letter was
prompted by rumors and insinuationS
about the alleged inducements to
athletes to enter Michigan. The signed
statement is as follows:
1t is not the policy of the Michigan
management to discuss matters in the
public press, but since so much has
appeared which puts the university in
a false light, in justice to Michigan a
few statements of facts regarding our
selves are not out of place at this
time. We do not wish to circulate,
either directly or by implication, any
charges against any other institution.
1t is easy to spread idle and false
rumors that one hears every day, re-
garding different colleges and uni
versities of the country, and it is the
circulation of these various rumors
that causes others to be started.
All that is intended here is a plain
statement of the situation at Michigan.

charging that had induced Rose and
Kern of that state to come to Michigan
for football. 1t is needless to discuss
this, as neither one is a candidate for
the team, Kern not even being in the
university. This goes to show how
easy it is to start false reports which
do an injustice to Michigan and to
the men themselves
Much has appeared by insinuation,
if not directly, to the effect that the
scholarship requirements for athletes
at Michigan are not on par with other
leading institutions of the country. In

A Woman in Oil.

Mrs. S. L. Ryan has returned from
Arkansas City, Kan, where she has
formed an oil company which will put
down oil wells. Mrs. Ryan owns a
farm in that district. and she has Sc
cured leases on 5000 acres of land
within five miles from Arkansas City,
and thought to be in the very heart
of the oil belt. Besides leasing the
land herself, she formed a stock COM
pany which will bore for oil. If they
strike oil, and there is every reason to
suppose they will, Mrs. Ryan will
make a fortune. The Hiawatha men
think it is a pretty good joke on Judge
Ryan. Here he has been working
hard for years to support the family,
and now his wife goes off and man
ages a little business venture which
may enable him to retire.-Hiawatha

Caught in the Act Last Night and
Confess and Want to Settle.
Sheriff Swedenberg officiated at a
little affair north of town last night
which will have a tendency to stop
the pilfering of corn from some of the
fields in that locality. Mr.. Hughes has
been missing corn from his field for
some time and with the assistance of
the sheriff run the culprits to earth
last night, and they proved to be three
women, Mrs. Barker, Nancy Shinn and
a girl about fifteen years OF age. The
officer and Mr.. Hughes followed the
tracks of the wagon until they saw
where the thieves were headed for
and then went on to their destination
and when the women drove up in
buggy and spring wagon they were
waiting for them. John Gebhardt,
who has also suffered from the
thieves, came up shortly afterwards
and identified the corn in the buggies-
The women at first denied stealing the
corn, but when pinned down to it con-
fessed and tried to settle the case. The
sheriff left the matter with the own
ers and some arrangement will prob
ably be reached that will free them
from the depredations of the women.

Kansas City Races Slow.

NJ. U. Eleven in Condition.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 4.-The Mis-
souri, Tigers have been practicing just
one month, having first appeared on
the field September 1. During that
time Coach Mclean has developed a
team that looks good for the Missouri
Kansas game. The men have been
well drilled in the theory of the game
by lectures given by the coach, as we'll
as in the practical work on the field.
Coach Mclean believes more in the
man who is fairly good and knows the
game from A to than in a mere
"chunk of beef who is ignorant of
what he is playing for. The men have
shown the effect of this careful coach
ing in very satisfactory way, and
excepting one or two are all up to
top notch. The work of the three
backs is especially pleasing, and is
about as good as that of any set of
backs Missouri has ever had.

were Quigley's 90-yard run and the
drop kicking of Lewis and the play
ing of Murphy, Hughes, Clancy, Walsh
