WALL STREET sPECULATING.

In the October Woman's Work a
nameless Spectator tells some of his
experiences in trading on the New
York Stock Exchange and describes
the sensations of winning and losing,
and the other incidents of the nervous
gamble for wealth ION margins" He
writes:
The life is one of earning ones
bread and butter by the sweat of one s
brow. I have found that there is no
particular exultation in winning, but
there is q momentary feeling OF relief
and exhilaration in taking loss
Many times I have longed to be a
worker in a more conservative field. To
wear a smiling countenance when you
lose your money in an uphill fight may
be natural to some men, but 1t was
hard for me to acquire the habit.
In my first year [ smiled on occa-
siOns when the smile panied me as
much as it did when 1 was youngster
and had to have the barb of fshhOOk
cut out of my forefnger bya half-blind
doctor. Now it seems like a good joke
I early found myself becoming in

and thoughts. I do not say that all

McGovern opened the round by
swinging hard to Murphy's face and
neck. He followed this with a hard
blow to the body and then TO the ear
before Murphy could land. After that
it was all McGovern. He landed at
will. Murphy began mixing it up and
got the worst of it. He was knocked
down six times and each time he came
to his feet he would stagger. Nc
Govern stood over him and struck him
blow after blow. Finally Murphy be-

X. I. ELEVEN WORRIED.
..Bennie'' Owens Oklahoma Team Is
Cause of the Trouble.


Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 19.-Prospects
do not seem any brighter at the Kan
sas quarters today and the only conf
dence that is gaining ground among
the students and faculty who are
watching the scrimmages, is that the
boys are putting all their energy and
determination into the preparation for
Saturdays game.
There is but one more day OF hard
scrimmage work before the game with
Oklahoma and the coach drilled the
men as long as they could stand it last
night. Stricken although having
been out of practice for several weeks,
has been out on the field two days and
seems to be in fair shape. If matters
can be satisfactorily arranged with his
parents he may enter at tackle for a
part of Saturdays game. Rouse has
nearly recovered from his injury and
will be in the Oklahoma contest.
The coach was discouraged when
the scrubs worked some good gains
against the varsity on a kicking con-
test. They played their hardest against
the regulars and at times would. give
the varsity more than they could
manage. Coach Kennedy is working
the men hard in close defense and
straight hard plays, with which he
hopes to keep the Kansas goal line
clear and win if possible what prom
ises to be one of the very hardest
games of the season.
1--WE must give them all we have
Saturday" are his words of warning
to his team.

President Roosevelt Insists
That Members of Cabinet

Action Follows Refusal to Rec
Ognize Loeb as Press Agent.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Every mem
Der of the cabinet is carrying in his in

Loeb which if it has it's expected eff

ings alright. 1t expresses the presi-
dents absolute wish that not one word
be said by any member of the cabinet
about anything that occurs in the cab
met room. The letter was written in
manifold and was received by all the
cabinet i'm due course of business. soon
after the president tOokE his departure
for the south. The letter is a pa ge
and q half long and starts out with
the injunction from the president that
every member of the cabinet observe
absolute confidence as to all that takes
place in the cabinet meetings. 1T has
been the subject of an understand

press associations that nothing is to be
given out hereafter in regard to cab

the unseemly practice. which self-re-
specting members of the press have al
ways disliked to follow. of Waylaying
members of the cabinet as they come
out from the cabinet meetings and
asking them for Information of what
has taken place
1T is to be hoped that in observance
on this request, Which places each mem
Der of the cabinet under the solemn
obligation not to discuss proceedings of
the meetings of the cabinet, no one win
in a moment Os weakness OF of good
nature give to q special correspondent
whom he may especially like or for
whom he feels sorry, a statement of
anything that has happened in cabinet
meeting. Such a course would make it
necessary to go back to the old practice
of giving out a resume OF what has
been done by the cabinet, which is un-
desirable Members Of the cabinet will
also please refrain from discussing pol
fcies either of their own or those of the
administration. nfs
The president has recently been
greatly annoyed by articles which have
appeared in some Os the eastern news
papers pretending to reveal the matters
discussed at the cabinet meetings. Some
of these dispatches have pretended to
give the conflicting views of cabinet
officers and have created an entirely
erroneous impression. It is probable
that some article has attracted the pres
dents attention and he has taken this
manner of protecting himself.
Sometime ago the president selected
his secretary, Mr.. Loeb, as a medium of
communication with the newspaper cor
respondents. This plan did not operate
successfully and several members of
the cabinet did not hesitate to discuss
with newspaper men the matters at the
cabinet sessions which related to their
departments, insisting that Mr.. Loeb
was not competent to discuss these
questions, as he did not attend the
meetings and could not be familiar with
the policies Of all departments.

DISTORTIONS INCREASE.
Number of Convictions Last Year Was
1,476.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The 'Vlnual re-
port of General George B. Davis. judge
advocate general of the army, shows
that of the commissioned officers tried
during the last year by general court
martial. IS were convicted and Is ac-
quilted. Three cadets and 4S93 enlisted
men were convicted while 1856 men were
acquitted
The total number of trials before gen
eraI court martial of 4,800 cases shows
an increase of 551 cases over last year.
This increase is mainly due to the fact
that a large number of deserters have
been apprehended and brought to trial,
the number of convictions for desertiOn
being 1,476 this year. an increase of 40.
This gain is chiefly due to the increase
of the reward paid to all civil officers
for the apprehension Of deserters, in
ducing greater vigilance on their part.
The number of men sentenced to dishon-
orable discharge was 1929.

LAWSUIT OVER A JOCKEY.
Guardian of Young Bonner After $780,
900 Damages.

San Francisco, Oct, 19.-Papers have
been served on W. B. Jennings by
George Berry as guardian for Jockey
Bonner. Berry sues Jennings for $780,
900 alleged damages as a result of
controversy over the services of the
jockey, who last year was one Of the
best riders on the coast. From the
plaintiffs petition it appears att one
time Jockey Bonner was in the employ
of Jennings, but that later George Berry
was appointed guardian for the jockey,
and as such guardian claimed the right
to Bonner's services. Bonner had
contract with Jennings last year, but
after some slight difficulty deserted him
and went to his home in a southern
state. Jennings Immediately referred
the case to the jockey club and Bonner
was ruled off.

AT A ATARsH HUNT.
Tragic Experience of Cottonwood Falls
Duck Party

Duck Party.
Mr. Ed Kella1n, of Cottonwood Falls,
wars in Topeka this week. He came
direct from a duck hunt on the
marshes in Stafford county and re-
membered several of his friends with
red heads, 'widgeons, mallards and
blue winged teal. Mr.. Kellam relates
some. interesting experiences.
To begin with the party was made
UP Of four Cottonwood Falls sports
men: w. ]. MeNee, E B. Johnston,
Charles Gregory and E. B. Kellam-
The larder was well supplied at start
ing.
The game was plentiful and Mr..
Kellam says he can close his eyes any
hour IN the day yet and see hundreds
of ducks sweeping over and down into
the reedy water around the decoys.
The hunting was on the preserves OF
McNee and Johnston which consist
of $50 acres-mostly water There is
a cabin. to shelter the hunters and
numerous blinds for their use.
Arriving at the shanty after drive
across country from Raymond at
night the crowd proceeded to light a
FIRE to brew some coffee. Everything
was in place where it was left after
the last fight of malIards. This was
owing to the fact shat the cabin had
been wired and the impression had
gotten out that there were dynamite
connections and this may be a fact.
But the stoVepipe had succumbed to
the ravages of the weather and was a
rusty wreck. Suddenly a bright flash
showed the shingles aflre. Out rushed
the quartette and two of them tossed
Johnson 10 the roof while the others
wet down blankets. In the meantime

away. Suddenly McNee shouted,
stop! hold on minute, listen The
fire fighters came to attention.
'Listen!" again exclaimed McNee.
with his head cooked sideways. And
floating down from the blue ether far
above came the cry Of a solitary be-
lated brant. The situation was almost
dramatic. Four uDturned eager faces
far out in the sand hills their only
shelter burning around them, diverted
from saving guns ammunition and
"other supplies by the honk of a
passing game fowl.
But it meant that the ducks were
coming in. This was only one of many
little incidents that occurred. Suffice
it to say that they finally put out the
flames, had their coffee and killed dur
ing their trip all the ducks the law al
lowed.
