WILL LELAND is HURT.
Son of Politician Breaks Collar Bone
in Football Practice.

Will Leland, son of Cyrus Leland, broke
his collarbone Wednesday afternoon while
playing football in the scrimmage work
between Washburn and the Topeka High
school.
Jim Stewart and Glenn Haughey of the
WaShburn first team We're also quite
badly hurt. Stewards ankle, which he
sprained early in the season, went back
on him entirely. and Haughey's bad knee
got a fresh twist. Altogether it was quite
a damaging afternoons work which the
athletes had yesterday.
1t is likely that Stewart and Haughey
will be out of the game for some time
Washburn will probably save them from
the Haskell game.
Next Saturday the Washburn academy
team will play a game with the Holton
High school. There is good deal of in
terest in this game at .Washburn, as it
is the first game which the academy
team has played The team is not ex-
actly representative of the full strength
of the academy, as none of the first team
men who are in academy classes play on
the regular academy team. The Topeka
High school may also get a game with
the K. L. freshmen for Saturday, in which
case there may be a double header on
Washburn field
The Washburn first team goes to Man.
haitian Saturday to play the State Ag-
ricultural college. In it's crippled condi-
ton the WaShburn team may have a hard
time to win this game.

TIMES GROW WORSE.
Candidate Davis Talks Calamity in His
Own State.

Keyser, w. Va, Nov. S-When Can
didate Davis reached Ridgely today the
West Virginia Central machine shops
were closed down for 20 minutes that
the men might hear him. Mr.. Davis
said when President Roosevelt came in
power times were prosperous, but ever
since then times had grown worse,
very much worse. Under Mckinley,
said he, there was an overhow1ng
treasury, containing surplus of "a mil
lion dollars. Now there is a deficit OF
fl million.
In speaking here to an audience that
filled the Music hall Mr.. Davis said that
the trusts were all kept up by the
tariff. although" said he, "as you
know / am not a free trader, 1 think
the tariff on special things that foster
the trusts should be reduced, but with
out fear of contradiction 1 will say
that every one of the two or three hum
dred trusts in this country is Republi-
can The beef trust, the Standard OH
trust, the steel trust, are all contribut-
ing and working for Republican sue
cess. Mr.. ]. P. Morgan, who, it was
said. some time ago, was favorable to
Parker is now giving his money ana
giving it freely and doing everything ne
can for the election of Roosevelt"
Piedmont, w. Va, Nov. Sat this
place Mr.. Davis in addressing a crowd
from the rear of his car said:
There are over 100, 900 federal office
them are going over the country, While
under government pay urging the peo-
ole to keep them in power. There never
was a time when there were so many
cabinet officers going over the country
making political speeches.

In the Century for October the sub
ject of THE Real Dangers of the
Trusts" is discussed in a dispassion-
ate way by John Bates Clark, profess
scr of political economy in Columbia
university. His article has no relation
to the present political contest and
nothing to do with the position of any
party, but deals with the topic as a
great problem that demands the con-
sideration of every thoughtful and
public spirited citizen of the United
States. After going on to saw that
political machines and bosses were not
created by the trusts but previously
existed. and that the bosses had al
ready acquired the power to cajoIe
members of regular political parties
and lead them whittier they would.
the professor declares that the trust.
with the power of the old political
machine put bodily into its hand, is a
thing to be dreaded. and that the
government which is described by the
term democracy lis in danger of be-
coming more and more n rule by the
sinister combination of wealth and
CONSTITUENCIES political leadership"

WHAT THEY FOUND OUT.
An Investigation of II. NJ. Dolan That
Wasn't Published.

Albert T. Reid and ]. E. House were
sent to Washington county, the home
of T. M. Dolan, the Democratic candi-
date for state treasurer, to see if they
could not find something ION" Mr..
Dolan to offset the attacks which are
being made on Kelly. They went to
Clifton. Mr.. Dolan's home, where he
has lived for many years, and also Wis
tied other places in Cloud and Wash
ington counties
In making their inquiries the party
was told that Dolan would receive a
big support at home and would carry
Washington county by 1900 majority.
1t is normally Republican by 800. They
were also told that Dolan would carry
Cloud county by a big majority. 1t was
asserted that two out of every three
Republicans would bolt Kelly.

BLACKS ARE BETTER.
Her Condition Improved Over ANY
Time Since the Wreck.

Mrs. w. J. Black, who is at the Santa
Fe hospital, is better today than at
any time since she received her injuries
in the Missouri Pacific wreck at Upton,
Mo-, last Sunday morning.
The cast was taken off her ankle
Wednesday afternoon and a consulta-
ton held by the doctors. DR.. c. A. Nc
CURE at that time stated that her
chances of recovery were 50 out of 100.
Today she has improved wonderfully
and there now seems to be no longer
any doubt in regard to saving her foot.
When the cast was taken from her foot
yesterday the doctors were alarmed for
fear that blood poisoning might set in,
but today it is said all indications of
such d contingency seem to have passed.
Quite a little pus had formed In the
ankle while it was in the cast, but it
was drained away. Today tubes were
placed in the injured portion SO that
what little puS may form will be quick
ly drained away.
All seem unanimous in holding more
cheerful view of the situation today.
Orders have been given, however, that
no one may see her for at least 80
days, and she will be given absolute
quiet and rest in order to overcome the
nervous shock.
1t is stated that the thoughts of the
terrible accident and the shock have
proven a great drain on her vitality
and that she still feels very weak, al
though she has been steadily improving
and gaining.
Mr.. Black is feeling very we'll today
and is rapidly improving. His back is
gaining strength and he spent a portion
of the afternoon sitting in a chair. He
if the improvement keeps up as rapid
as IL has been.

IN SHORT GRASS REGION
Republicans Won't Support Kelly for
Treasurer.

Every report that comes in from
over the state indicates that thousands
of Republicans will not vote for I. t.
Kelly next Tuesday. And along with
Kelly a good many will also scratch
the school fund commissioners.
The Garden City Imprint (Rep)
has been interviewing some of the
Republicans in Finney county. and
here is what it says:
William Ford. one of the delegates
to the state convention, says: I was
against Kelly in the convention and
will do all 1 can to defeat him.
Likewise Ira Carter and Z. W.
Chalfant, who were also delegates,
and cast F'inney county's votes against
Kelly's nomination.
"F'. H. Laberstean, Republican
nominee for register of deeds, says:
I did not vote for him before and
will not now. 1 will never knowingly
support a thief and ernbezzler.'
&C. H Rhodes, Republican nominee
for county clerk: 1T is the duty OF all
voters to scratch Kelly. and it can
only be made effective by voting for
ssAbner Hadley: 4 cannot vote for
him.
t'In extended drives over Finney and
Scott counties recently we found -FOUR
out of five Republicans are against
Mr.. Kelly; most of them Will take time
to scratch and many declare they Will
vote for Dolan.
'"rhis is the way a prominent Re-
publican puts it: The Republican
who remains in the booth long enough
to just mark in the circle must come
out feeling that he has endorsed
thief -
Similar reports come from many 9TH
er sections of the state except the eX-
IRENE southeastern part. Down in that
section they do not seem to know as
much about Kelly's record as in the
rest of the state, and the bolt will not
be nearly as great as elsewhere. In
Crawford and Cherokee counties two
years ago Kelly ran ahead of Bailey.
1t is by no means uncommon to hear
of Republican candidates on county
tickets who declare they will not vote
for Kelly, although most of them do
not like to say so openly. There is at
least one candidate on the Republican
ticket in Shawnee county who is a
pronounced anti-Kelly man.
In some counties it is predicted that
Kelly will not receive fifty per cent of
the Republican vote. A loss of II per
cent from his vote of two years ago will
defeat him if it is cast for his opponent.
1t is estimated that Kelly was elect
ed two years ago by Democratic votes,
few of which he will receive this year.

ship has been found 16 miles west of
st. Louis in a cornfield near the ham
let of Fern Ridge. 1t is uninjured, and
still floating when discovered although
it had anchored itself. The trailing
rope had entangled in decayed limb
of a tree which had broken off, but
was of sufficient weight to drag the
aerial. craft to the ground. 1t sagged
down into a cornfield and was discov-
cred by farmers. Baldwin and Kna-
benshue, accompanied by several 9TH
ers started for the place in automo-
biles and will bring the craft back to

BANDITS AT BAY.
SIayers of Cashier Middaugh Are Sur
rounded.

Meeteese, wyo., Nov. 3-After one of
the most determined man hunts in the
thrilling history of Wyoming, the des-
perate Hole in the Wall bandits who shot
and killed Cashier Middaugh of the First
National bank of Cody Tuesday in the en-
deaxor to rob the bank, were brought to
bay this morning in the almost virgin
forest between Meeteetse and Thermop-
oils.
Death either by rifle shots or by slip
moose is now considered but matter of
a few hours and 1t is believed the robbers
realize they have been caught in a trap
that means destruction.
