Two Ganles at TIawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 30.-Lawrence
will have a double-header in football
this afternoon on McCook field. Has
keH opens the season with the Buck
ner, Mo-. Athletic club and the fresh
man team of the University of Kansas
plays its first game with an out of
town school by meeting Wentworth
Military academy eleven. Only fifteen
and twenty minute halves will be play
ed, and the teams will alternate in
playing the halves.
The best game will probably be the
scrimmage between the youngsters, but
the strength of Buckner may be more
than is expected. The Indians will
have a chance to show what they can
do after Coach Hill and Assistant
Coach Oliver have had them in hand.
Lawrence enthusiasts were welded to
Herrnstein's coaching, and the new d.
rectors at Haskell will have to earn
all their praise. Hard signal practice
was given the redskins Friday after
noon and they ran to their quarters
feeling in the best of condition.

New York, Sept Soft the Giants

termination to refuse to play if Ger

The information has leaked out that
the commission has decided on UNI

the arbitrating in the worlds series.
This information was impaired to
McGraw and he Immediately declared
his dislike for the work of these two
officials and said:
Anyone else in the National league
but tombstone, and anyone else in the
American league can umpire, but not
those men,"
The commission met in Cincinnati
to arrange for the series between the

COUPLER TO BE TRIED HERE.
Invention of Charles BotISin VIII Be
Tested by Santa Fe.


j. E. Hurley, general manager of the
pies made of a new coupler which has
been invented by Charles B. Botkin of
Usage City, Kansas. Letters patent
have been granted Mr.. Botkin on this
coupler by the United States and Cam
ada. 1t is expected that the coupler
will prove great success. It is simple
in all respects and is not burdened with
the many and dangerous complications
found on similar devices.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Hurley, after
the sample couDlers are made, to put
them on some of the engines used in
the Topeka yards and thereby give
them the most severe test that can be
imagined. In yard work the new
coupler will come in. contact with all
sorts of couplers and its efficiency un-
der all conditions will be tested thor
oughly.
If these tests are successful, and Mr..
Hurley and the officers of the mechani-
cal department of the Santa Fe as well
as Inventor Botkin are sanguine that
they will be, the coupler will be adopted
Immediately by the Santa Fe. Mr.. Bot
kin, the patentee, is not stranger to
Topeka. He worked in the Santa Fe
he went to Usage City. He has been
working on the coupler for a long time
and it was only a few days ago he re-
ceived the patents on it. If it is a sue
cess. and there is no reason to believe
that it will not be, Mr.. Botkin will
make a big fortune as all the railroads
in the country are on the lookout for
a simple coupler that will do the re-
uuired work.

HAS CANS GONE BACK.
Fans Await Bout With Gardner to
Study PugfIist's Form.


New York, Sept. 30-Just how far Joe
Cans has gone back will probably be
shown next month when the light
weight champion meets Jimmy Gardner
in San Francisco.
Manager Al HEREFORD gave out the IN
formation himself He said:
81 have just received a telegram that
the required permit will probably be
granted, and I have matched Joe TO
meet Jimmy Gardner in Frisco next
month";
That Cans is not as good as he was
three years ago is the generally accept
ed opinion, and whether he can make
1873 pounds and be strong is another
question: but that he is not good
enough even now to make Jimmy Gard
ner ct al. hustle to keep their laurels,
is not even claimed by his worst enc
mics.
Cans was not trained for his bout in
which Mike (Twin) Sullivan gave him
a fierce trouncing. but Manager Al
Herford has put the shackles on MIN,
and when Joe does meet Gardner ne
will be physically as good as is posi-
BILE for him to be.

as a Shock.
Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 30.-The
Times says: After having thought her
son, James Adams. dead for ten
years, Mrs NJ. E. Adams of this cay
learned yesterday that her long lost
and forgotten son had been killed in
a railroad accident near Cripple Creek,
Colo, last Friday. The news was
double shock to the family, whose
members had for more than ten
years heard not a single word from
the long absent son and had naturally
thought him dead.
Mrs. John Knapp of this city is
sister, Charles Boyd, the contractor, il
a nephew, Mrs. M. E. Boyd is a half
sister, and Mrs. ]. E. Brennan of
Cheyenne, Wyo., who is now in the
city, is sister.
The dead man and other members
of the family were all well known
in this city. Thirteen years ago the
son left home and went west and for
about two years was in communica-
ton with members of his family, But
suddenly the letters ceased to come,
all efforts to locate him were vain, and
after waiting for years the mother
and other relatives concluded that
death had overtaken the missing man.

Despite Fever Scare Southern
Roads Expect Big Business.
This Means Additional Good
Times for Western Lines.
COTTON CROP SHORT.
But Traffic in General Mer.
chandise viii Be Heavy.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Notwithstanding the reported short
age in the cotton crop and the damage
sustained in some sections as a result
of yellow fever and the scare incident
to the dread disease. southern railway
managers are most optimistic over the
outlook for the fall and winter bust
ness. This is good news for the west
ern railroads which make connections
with the southern road terminals at
Kansas City, st. Louis and Chicago
for heavy traffic from and to the south
means additional good times for them.
Representatives of practically all the
important southern railway lines have
been in Chicago for the past few days
discussing rates and the general traffic
situation. Among those who took part
H. Hinton of the Southeastern as5ocia-
ton at Atlanta; A. S. Dodge, third vice
president of the Frisco system; T. M.

Smith. third vice president of the
Louisville & Nashville; Commodore w
H. Peasants. second vice president Of
the Ocean Steamship company, and {
number of others, representing the
southern, southeastern and southwest
ern roads. The consensus of opinion
among these officials is that the south
ern roads as a whole never had {
! brighter outlook than at the presen
moment. One of them speaking for {
group of his associates said:
| General merchandise traffic is won

MINERS SAVING MONEY.
Fund of $4,000 in the Strong Box al
PittSburg.

Pittsburg. Kan, Sept. 30.-The min
ers of district IA are preparing for
any emergency that may confront
them next spring and are gradually
accommodating a district defense fund
to be used in maintaining the district
organization in case of strike.
In addition to this district fund,
many of the local unions. especially
the larger ones, have funds which are
to be drawn on in case of trouble.
Each member of the organization is
assessed Is cents month for this
fund in addition to all other dues and
assessments, and as there are more
than 10000 union miners in this dis
trict, it can be seen that the fund is
steadily growing. No aid can be given
from this fund except where miners
have been on strike 80 days or more.
1t is estimated that by next spring,
when the district contract will end,
there will be $4,000 in the fund.

Engineer Ira Sparklin of the Lake Shore
railroad ran the Twentieth Century Linn
tied recently between Toledo and Elkhart,
distance of 1884 miles in 119 minutes.
This is the second fastest record for a
loaded train ON any American road. The
other one WIS made by Engineer euler
with the same train He ran the same dis
lance in liz minutes.
After Guier's run the Lake Shore man
agement decided that races against time
were too hazardous and prohibited the
making up of more than ten minutes on
division. Recently the engineers have been
allowed to disregard this order and the re-
suit is that record runs are becoming OF
almost daily occurrence.
