X. U. Team for Manhattan.

Lawrence. Kan. Nov. 1s.-The K.
U. football team that will be taken to
Manhattan will not comprise many of
the regulars, but more of subs. The
lineup will be: Michaelson. center;
Reed, left guard; Heinzman, right
guard; Donald, left tackle; Ackarman,
right tackle; Livingstone, left end;
Captain Hicks, right end; Hart, quar-
ter; Russell. left half; Mccoy, right
half; McNaughton, fullback. This will
be the first time this season that Ken
nedy has lined these men up together
and what kind of a showing they will
make tomorrow is hard to tell. In
the line the Jayhawkers will be weak
only in few places. In the back field
Mccoy and Russell can be depended
upon to get off in a hurry and Hart
will usually do his share. In punting
Russell can be depended upon to drive
the pigskin through the air for gains
of from twenty to sixty yards at a
clip. Mccoy is the fastest runner on
the squad and should make a credit
able showing tomorrow If he has any
kind of interference.

Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The presence in
New York last week of President. Stick
ney, of the Maple Leaf, and President
Aughitt, of the Chicago Northwestern,
lends color to the report that negotia-
tons are in progress for the absorption
OF the Great Western by the North
western. Neither president will say
more than that the sale of the Maple
Leaf has not been made. 1t is known
that Nr. Stickney would like to sell
when he gets his price, and other COM
peting lines would like to see the road
removed from the list of independent
systems. For the Maple Leaf, by IT'S
aggressiveaess, has prevented many an
increase in. rates to Chicago from Kan
sas City and the twin cities.
The Chicago & Northwestern could
make better use of the Great Western
than any other interest. The other
Chicago-Omaha lines have all an ad-
lets to Kansas City and the other
southwestern Missouri river points,
while ii does not reach any point south
of Omaha For this reason it has been
anxious for years to secure an outlet
to Kansas City. The Great Western
would give it a direct line from Chi
cago to ST Joseph, Mo-. and Kansas
City, via MarShalltOWn where the two
roads join. For the line from Oelwein,
Iowa, to Omaha and the twin cities the
Northwestern would not have much
use, as II mas already d1rect lines TO
those points. But there is a report
current that the northern part of the
Great Western may be used jointly by
the Northwestern and Milwaukee roads.
The latter being owned by the Rookie
fellers and the former by the Wander
bits, and the close relations existing
between them, the joint purchase by
them of the Great Western looks plaus-
ible. There is a probability that the
Wisconsin Central, in which the Rookie
fellers are said to have a large inter
est, may become a party to the pro-
posed deal.
1t is believed the purchase of the Ma
pie Leaf is in the line with the Van
derbilt policy of extending the North
western to cover the entire Northwest
ern trade territory and get into Salt
Lake City with its own lines. There
has been for years a close traffic ar
Tangement between the Northwestern
and the Union Pacific, but strong sys-
TENS have been known to change con-
troll and it is believed the Northwestern
is to be put out of danger of possibly
unfriendly action. simultaneously with
the extension of the Northwestern from
Casper, Wyo., up the Big Horn valley,
it is understood an extension will also
be built to Salt Lake City. This could
connect with the proposed Western Pa
cific and give the Vanderbilt lines a
complete transcontinental system.

ATKINSON GAINS A POINT.

John D. Atkinson, one of the candi-
dates Of the railroad lobby for gov
ernor, carried the republican primaries
in his own county of Chelan easily last
Saturday. Atkinson's actual residence
before he became state auditor was in
Seattle, where he was city librarian
for "a time, but he held mining claim
or two in Chelan county and thus
gained a legal residence. He was
probably enabled to win at the pri-
maries through the liberal fabrication
of his machine by the lobby.
1t would not be surprising if Atkin-
son should be the choice of the repub-
lican state convention for governor.
He has never done anything to offend
the railroad corporations and their po-
litical agents have reported that he
hand he has never committed himself
against a railway commission, but has
INDUCED in some harmless talk about
the advantages of an elective commits

No political significance whatever is
to be attached to the benefit, the organ
izer pointing out that the Red Cross
societies of both nations extend aid
not only to their own wounded but to
the enemy's wounded as well, and the
mere fact that. this particular aid is to
be sent to Russia does not mean that
it is formal expression of sympathy
with the cars government as against
that Of the Mikado.

The Tacoma News says:
'Walla Walla citizens complain that
the badger game' is being given too
strong a twist IN that well-ordered city
that at least two Of the shining lights
OF the town-where a big prison yawns
for those who trihe with badger and
other, unlawful games-have been
compelled to pay high for their indis-
cretions. There is a moral in all this.
No man can be 'badgered' who sits by
his own fireside and makes love to his
own wife. Pouring light nothings into
the not unwilling ear of the badger
mans female confederate ever was a
dangerous advertisement. Men have
been sent to untimely graves for graft

To be. lured from the narrow path and
mulcted of neat sum of money by a
badger girl is not alone criminal, but
a detriment to the future efforts of a
hitherto good citizen to explain how it
came about.
Blowing in gun when it is not

dangerous as a meeting in the gloam
