UNION PACIFIC is BUSY.
Wasting No Time in Work on North
western.

Considerable activity is again being
shown in the Union Pacific railway
project for building a branch cutoff
line between Topeka and Marysville,
Kansas. A carload of grade stakes
has arrived at Marysville which are
being used by the surveyors between
Marysville and Frankfort in stalking
out the line in preparation for the
grading gang which will follow soon.
The Marysville Acknowledgements
says:
This is the only portion of the
route that has not been fully decided
upon and as soon as a feasible route
is found between these two cities the
right of way man will make a trip
over the route through Marshall coun-
ty and endeavor to purchase the right
of way. This procedure has been fol-
lowed in the other three counties
through which the route passes.
Wherever the right of way man can
not make a deal with the owners of
the land the condemnation board will
appraise and condemn the land, but it
is not thought there will be any trou-
BILE as the company is paying a good
round price for all their land.
Fitzpatrick Brothers were in Marys-
vile last Saturday on their way to
their homes in Beatrice, having been
in Kansas City where they filed bids
for the work on the new right of way.
They gave as their opinion that the
road would surely be built. 1t is esti-
mated that the grade work will not
take more than two months. as five
hundred teams will be put on the
work as soon as the contract is let.
On the original survey fitzpatrick
Brothers were awarded the contract
for the construction work, but as soon
as it was found necessary to change
the route all bids were cancelled and
new ones asked for. There are six
firms bidding on the work and it is
thought the contract will be let before
the condemnation board meets in
Marysville on the 18th of next month"

The K. U.-Washburn freshman game
would draw good crowd in Topeka,
and the plan is to play it some Satur-
day during December.
Manager Leach is doing splendid
work to pull the season out without
any debt. Throughout the season he
has handled the business end of the
football management in better shape
than it has ever been handled in the
history of the college. and had done it
practically without compensation.
A Correspondent" of a certain To-
peka newspaper, who evidently is
after Leach's job, is trying to make it
appear that Leach is responsible for
the failure of the season to pay ex-
penses. This Correspondent" has a
personal grievance against Leach, and
is willing to do all in his power to
keep Leach from making up the de-
felt in the finances, for the purpose
of satisfying this grievance. This I'M
demanded method of warfare is meet
ing with severe condemnation at the
college, and the Washburn athletic
board stands by Leach.
Manager Leach undertook a big re-
sponsibility when, at the direction of
the athletic board, he set about equip
ping and maintaining the WaShburn
football team according to the stand
ards of the biggest schools in this
part of the country. He purchased
than had been purchased by the COL
lege in the past five years; he estab-
lished a training table, which cost
$1,000; he hired the best coach to be
obtained, at a large increase in salary
over the pay given to any other coach
in the history of the school; he caused
to be built new grand stands of sub
stantial design for the football field, at
a cost of 500; he fitted up baths and
training quarters; he hired a man to
be in charge of the training quarters.
Washburn's sudden rise into the
same football class with Nebraska
Missouri and Kansas universities is
due in large measure to the hard work
and great ability of Manager Frank
Leach. The attempts which are be-
ing made to injure him after his hard
and unself1sh efforts are contemplate
but if it is possible to keep him he
should be retained.
Manager Leach is not and never has
been a candidate for reelection to the
position of manager. He will leave
for the state of Washington about
January l to engage in the mercantile
business.
Before I co. he says, ct expect to
pay off the football deficit. That is
what I am here for. and that is what

The finishing touches are being put
on the Elks' minstrels. The parade on
Monday promises to be the biggest
thing Of the kind ever seen here.
The Elk minstrels gave their enter
tainment at the asylum auditorium last
night. before a large audience. COM
posed of Mort Albaugh, Governor
Bailey and others.
The affair was not a full dress min
strel show, and the gags were i'm
promptu, but as none of the patients
were permitted to carry weapons of
any description into the hall, all the
merle minstrels returned to the bosom
of their families before daylight this
morning.
The MINISTRIES opened with an attack
of stage fright, and closed with a mad
rush out of the building. The au-
dience had made no serious demonstra-
ton, but a rumor got out that a num-
Der of the patients had absorbed the
idea that they were Carrie Nation, and
that they were due to abate the nuis-
ance. Then the nuisance took it's 100
hats and 100 overcoatS and the road to
Topeka.
The MINISTRIES did not permit them
selves to spring the deep dyed gags de

had been in long enough to forget the
stone age jokes, number of them were

G. E. Anderson, manager of the Linds-
borg team, offering to play a game in
Topeka on December for a $3.50
division of the gate receipts. Wash
burn will not decide whether to ac-
cept the offer or not until Coach Out
land returns from st. Louis, where he
has gone to officiate in the Haskell
Carlisle football game. He will return
to Topeka Monday.
1t is not known how many members
of the regular Washburn team will be
willing to play in this game. but 1t is
thought that most of them will consent
to take part, for the sake of raising
the athletic deficit, which amounts to
upwards of $500. One more game
with a strong team would probably
bring in enough to pay off the debt.
Coach Outland has offered to stay
here an extra week and coach the
team for the poSt-season game free
of charge, and Manager Frank Leach
has voluntarily RENTED to the asso-
citation $500 out of the $500 which he
was to receive for his services as man
6ger for the season. With such ex-
amples of liberality, there is not much
doubt that the members of the team
will be willing to do their share to
make the game possible.
A game between Lindsborg and
Washburn would be a great drawing
card, and there is not much doubt
mat Win good weather tnere Would
be several thousand people out to see
it. Last year Washburn defeated
Lindsborg by a score of IL to s, and
Lindsborg was the only team that
managed to score on Washburn dur
ing the whole season. The Bethany
people took their defeat very hard. and
thought they should have had a vic
tory. In that game the Bethany team
used a player by the name of Clancy
under the name of Huerline. Clancy
was not eligible, and according to the
rules it was a breach of the conference
agreement for Bethany to use him in
the game. This affair caused Wash
burn, K. U. and several othet- of the
leading schools to refuse to schedule
a game with Lindsborg this year.
If the post season game with Linds-
borg is played, Manager Leach says
that 1t will be played with the distinct
understanding that it is an extra" and
does not count under the conference
agreement. The conference agreement

Then Ohio Young Woman Decides to
Call the Match OF.

Columbus, o.. Nov. 26.-There is a
large wad of disappointment coming
to Charles v. Beelman at the hands
of a young lady from Kenton. Beel-
man had asked the young lady to
marry him and had informed her that
the divorce suit in which he had fig
ured had been instituted by him and
that he had obtained the divorce.

is supposed to apply only to the regular
games of the season.
Lindsborg's team is probably strong
er than last year. It has been under
the efficient coaching of Benny Owen
for its second season, and has practi-
calIy all its star men of last year back
in the game. The two Banburys, sew
eral Petersons, Clancy and BergQuist
are doing the heavy work for Bethany
this year. On Thanksgiving day, Beth
any beat Oklahoma university 80 to 8.
This is a bigger score than K. U. made
against Oklahoma; the K. U. score was
II to in 20 minute halves. In that
game, however K. U. did not use Hicks,
Green, Mccarthy, and several other
good men. 1t is probable that Linds-
borg could beat K. u, or at least give
that school a hard fight This shows
what sort of a game Washburn would
be up against If it should tackle the
Terrible Swedes." The chances are
very bright that Washburn would have
the "hxings'' put to It.
May Play X U. Freshmen
Manager Leach is also putting other
irons in the fire for the purpose of max
ing up the deficit of the season. He
has, at the request of members of the
Washburn freshman class. sent to K.
u. a challenge for a game between the
Washburn and K. u. freshmen K. U.
has a very strong freshman team,
which defeated the Haskell second
team. The Washburn freshmen have
recently organized a team, and have
the sophomores to a game,
which may be played within a week or
two.
