MILES CAN'T COME.
Gen. Waters to Take Place on
Lincoln Day Programme.

The illness of Mrs. Nelson A. Miles,
wife of General Miles, lately retired
from the command of all the military
forces of the United States, will pre-
vent his appearance at Topeka as the
principal attraction for the celebration
of Lincoln Day, February II. The
principal address will be made by Cen.
L. H. Waters, of Kansas City, who
was an associate of President Lincoln
at the state bar of Illinois before his
election to the office of chief executive.
General Miles inability to come to
Topeka is a distinct disappointment,
not only to the members of the Grand
Army organizations, under whose di-
rections, fttingly, the Lincoln anniver-
sary exercises are being arranged, but
to the people of the town at large. The
illness of Mrs. Miles is serious. 1t has
been known for some time. but it was
with General Miles proposed western
trip. Not until last night was the fol-
lowing dispatch received by Captain
Coney of this city:
Washington. D. G., Feb. 10, 1904.
Capt. P. H. Coney, Topeka, Kas.:
The doctors report Mrs. Miles seri-
ously and dangerously ILL., 1 cannot
leave. 1 regret that it Is impossible to
join you, the Grand Army and friends
in observing LincoIn's birthday My
address. mailed Monday. should reach
you today or tomorrow morning. Deep
regret and great respect.
NELSON A. MILES.
All of General Miles engagements
have been Cancelled.
Captain Coney left Immediately after
receiving the telegram and made a
personal visit to General Waters home
in Kansas City, there securing his
promise to appear in the place re-
served for General Miles. Later he
wired to Topeka that General Waters
had given his consent to come. The
celebration committee is very FORUM
ate in securing the presence of General
Waters, who was actively associated
with Mr.. Lincoln in the memorable
campaign of 1858 against Stephen A.
Douglas. General Waters qualifica-
tions as an orator are well known and
he is regarded as one of the most en-
tertaining speakers of western Mis-
souri, At the opening of the civil war
General Waters organized the Eighty
fourth Illinois regiment and served
throughout the war with great dis
tinction. After the battle of Chicka-
manga he was raised to the rank of
brigadier general Although 76 years
of age. General Waters is yet in Wig
orous manhood and is actively en-
gagged in business and public affairs.
General Waters is a brother of Capt.
Joseph G. Waters, of Topeka, who is
scarcely less we'll known as a public
speaker

Northumberland Park Bask etball
Cancelled.

Washburn's game of basketball with
the girls team from Highland Park
college of Des Moines, Ia, has been in
definitely postponed. The game was to
have been played Saturday. The High
land team was unable to make the
necessary dates for its proposed south
ern trip, but may come later in the
season.

have strong team, and Washburn ex-
poets a hard fight
On Saturday. February 90 Washburn
will play one of the most important
games of its season. On that evening
the team representing the Kansas
State university will come here for a
game. Washburn and K. U. are such
old time rivals that the game will be
fiercely contested. Later in the season
Washburn will play a return game at
Lawrence. The K. U. girls have not
played any this year, and their team
is an unknown quantity. Instead OF
making match games, the team has
been practicing hard in the gymnasium
and may prove to be an unexpectedly
difficult proposition for the Washburn
laSSieS.

Kennedy has been offered a fat sal

next year, with promise of being
made head coach in 1905 in place of

the Offer and has stated to Manager
Leach that he would coach Washburn
next season if he coaches anywhere
THE Elks have agreed to help us
get Kennedy back" said Manager
Leach today. "and I believe that with
their help and the help of other friends
of Washburn athletics we can close the
deal. Kennedy would come here II ne
was assured of a position in the WASH
burn dental school. but the dental
school will not be established us.tll
next year. and so for the coming 1901
ball season other arrangements must
be made. 1t is possible to get Ken
nedy only by enabling him to move
his dental Office to Topeka and locate
here. He will not travel back and
forth between Topeka and Lawrence
as he did last year.
1t is thought that about $500 in add
ton to kennedy'S salary would enable
him to move to Topeka and make this
his headquarters. Kennedy has
fiourishing dental business at Law
renee which he would have to build
up again here at Topeka.
The $500 in addition to Kennedy s
salary would make total of $1,000
services of the coach for six weeks.
Good coaches come high
RICE HAS QUIT K. u.
Rice the Topeka boy who played a
star game with the state university
team during the past season, has quit
school, and says he will not return to
the university to play football. He is
dissatisfied with the way the team was
managed. It is also reported that
Griggs. another Topeka boy who went
to Lawrence to play football, will not
be with that team next year.
The reports of dissa tisfaction among
the K. U. players have been quite nu-
merous. but the chances are that any
difficulties will all be fixed up before
the opening of the next football sea-
son, and the K. U. team will be
stronger than last year.
So far as can be determined at this
time, the outlook for a strong team at
Washburn next fall is very bright.
James Stewart. who still has the reDu-
tation for being one of the best quar-
terbacks that ever played on the team,
has entered the law school, and expects
to take a full course. He will be with
the team next year, and this will en-
able Anderson. last seasons quarter, to
play one of the ends in case Lalxin does
not return or Robert Stewart does not
play. Lakin says he will be in school
again next fall and Robert Stewart
may change his mind about keeping
out of the game.

GOOD FOOTBALL.
Washburn Is Making Arrange
ments for Games.
Schedule VIII Be Better Than
Ever Before.
ARE NOW AFTER TEXAS
Hope to Secure University for
Thanksgiving Here.
X. U. VIII Come to Topeka for
q Guarantee.
ARE NOW AFTER TEXAS

Washburn's football schedule for the
coming season. so far as arranged at
present by Manager Leach, will be as
follows:
Kansas State Normal at Topeka
Emporia college at Emporia.
State Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan.
Drake university of Des Moines. at
Topeka.
Kansas State university at Topeka
Missouri university at Columbia.
University of Texas at Topeka on
Thanksgiving day.
In addition to these games, a game
may be played with the Bethany col
lege team from Lindsborg, provided
they agree to certain conditions re-
garding qualifications. Ottawa univer-
sity may be given date if it has a
team in the field.
The University of Colorado and Den
yer university have offered Washburn
substantial inducements to make a
Colorado trip, but under the advice of
Coach Kennedy, such a trip will pro-
baby not be made. 1t often proves
the undoing of a team to make such
a long trip, and Washburn will cut it
out this year. 1t is believed that one
of the causes of K. us downfall last
season was its Colorado trip.
Doane college, the Nebraska Medics
and Highland Park college all want
games, but will probably be unable to
get on the Washburn schedule this
year.
The game with Texas university has
not been definitely settled, but it Is
probable that this will be the Thanks
giving attraction in Topeka.
K. q. will play here probably on Oc-
tober Is or November 5. The univer-
sity wanted very much to have the
game played at Lawrence this year.
but Washburn' proposed that 1t would
give K. U. $3.50 guaranty, and a half
of the gross receipts. to play here, or
would play there under the same
terms. K. u. could not give such a
large guaranty, and was obliged to ac-
cept the game here. Manager Leach
says he expects to have an attendance
of 5000 at the K. q. game.
KENNEDY COMING BACK.
Manager Frank Leach will go to
Lawrence next week to see Coach
Kennedy and try to close a contract
with him. 1t is likely that Kennedy

The Aletheans, a club organized sew
eral years ago for Bible study, met last
evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
c. c. Nicholson and enjoyed a pleas
ant evening. Rev. Mr.. Hutchinson. who
has done much to help this club and
whenever possible met with them and
assisted them in their studies, was pres
ent last evening. At this time the
young people took the opportunity to
show him their appreciation of his work
by presenting him with a large framed
picture of the club.
The Argorauts held their regular
meeting Tuesday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. c. Nicholson, 919

American literature was the life and

sadness seemed to pervade the club as

meeting they would have with them

Eleven years ago Rev. Mr.. Hutchinson
organized this study club and has ever
since been it's president. He has ever
been an enthusiastic worker in the club
and it is owing largely to him that the
Argonauts have been so very sue
cessful. At the Tuesday evening meet
ing many of the former members were
present and at the conclusion of the
programme Mr.. Nicholson on behalf of
the club presented Rev. Hutchinson
with Motley's Rise and Fall of the
Dutch Republic" and also a copy of
Hoffman's Christ. Four years ago the
club had given Rev. Hutchinson this
picture but with many other keepsakeS
