MARkEL MAKES STATEMENT.
Contraotor RidicuIes Suggestions of
 Unfairneas and Dishonesty.

OMAHA, Sept. 12.-J. E. Markel, to whom has been let the contract for feeding Iaboress on the Panama canal, has arrived in Omaha. He said:
 I presume that some of the rival con tractors who made bids were disappoint- ed in not securing the job. That is the only explanation I can give for their making charges of unfair dealings. Every detail of the entire transaction was open, and aboveboard, and all the papers arc on file In. New York, whore they may be-, examined by the public at any time. There was not a suggestion of unfairness or dishonesty connected with the letting of the contract from the beginning to thei end. and any statement to the contrary is absurd and maliciously false.
 The statement that the contract would. amount to t5o.0Oo,000 is wrong. It willI amount to about S10o.Q00 @ month. or from S1 1.0O0000 to Sl,5o0,000 year for five years. which Is the life of the contract We will have ten hotels. each of which will feed from l5O to B0 persons. and about 1.boQ white men and 5000 colored iaborers will be supplied The railroad will construct. the hotels. ten in number. two of which are now in operation and two more near ing completion. 1 shall leave for Panama Sept. g and take with me several of my railroad eating house superintendentA

Wichita, Kan. Dec. 5.-Touched by a
sermon at the First Presbyterian church
i've chorus girls of the Clark Minstrel
company quit the company. The girls
are Lillian Van Goers. Belle Kemp,
Edith Graham. Olive Lewis and Nellie
Kemp.
The girls attended church, when tie
Rev. Mr.. Davis preached on THE House
of Mercy Late Monday afternoon
they went to the home of the pastor
and told him they would give up the
stage. They were tned of the life they
were leading and wanted to go home.
The Kemp girls are sisters. They told
the pastor they had spent most Of
their lives on the stage. Their head
quarters for a time had been in Kansas
City.
All of the girls are young. Their ages
range from seventeen to twenty-One
years Arrangements are making to
provide transportation for the girls to
their respective homes. This probably
will be done today.

But One Name Seriously Sug-
gested for Captain.
Chicago Thinks "Eckie'' the
Greatest Player in the World.
TO LEAD THE MAROONS
The Eleven May Take a Vacation
Trip to the Coast.
Leo De Tray and Coach Stage
Both Require Rest.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Universlty OF chi
cago footbalhsts have returned to their
studies and will again be regulars IN
the student community at the unlVer-
sity. While they will occupy their
Quarters in Hitchcock hall until the
end of the quarter, there is little doing
now that will make any demands on
their time.
Some day this week the annual foot
fall picture will be taken and the presi-
dents dinner to the team will be given
in the course of two weeks, when the
captain for next year will be elected.
ONLY one name has been suggested IoF
the position. 1t seems almost Ger
tainty that Walter Eckersau viii pc

Gale and Bubbles" Hill have been
mentioned as possibilities as Well but
the general feeling is that none of them

sail is candidate. They believe Ecker
sail is the greatest football player the
world has ever seen and are anxious
he be made captain of the Maroons
next year.
Leo De Tray is stfll suffering from
the effects of the game. His bad eye
is extremely painful and his friends are
very much alarmed over his refusal
to heed the advice of the physicians
and keep quiet and in the dark. He
has spent much of the time since the
game at the university and although he
admits he cannot see out of the one eye
he refuses to follow the advice of his
physicians.
Coach Stage is talking almost abso-
lutte rest since the close of the season
and viii keep quiet until he regains his
strength. He came through the season
in good condition considering the con-
dition of his leg when the season
opened.

Tourist cars PonnIar.

The idea that an inferior class Of
people patronize the tourist sleepers Is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
of money to be used elsewhere. It is
beginning to be understood that it IS
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend q large sum OF money in or

ONE MORE GRAIN RATE WAR.
Illinois Central Proposes to Get Bulk
of Shipments to Cuba.

New Orleans. Dec. 5.-The Illinois
Central and Southern Pacific, acting IN
concert. have made a cut of three cents
per hundred pounds in the grain rate
for shipments from all Illinois Cehtrai
points and from St. Louis, destined 70
Havana. 4.,.
This is the first gun of the battle
which is to be fought this season Tor
the Cuban grain business between t1e
Illinois Central and the Mobile & ONO
and the Munson Steamship Line and
the Morgan Steamship line. whether
or not the fight is to extend TO other
commodities is a matter which rail-
road officials are not willing to discuss
The Illinois Central claims that this
Cuban business should come through
New Orleans, and after conferences
with the Southern Pacific the new rate
was announced.
The Bfunson line is making a strong
bid for this business, and lively times
are looked for.
The Illinois Central has spent large
amount of money in facilities for han
ding grain here and will let none Of
it go by any other route if it can avoid
doing so.

name Of just plain "P. Ripley The
difference between these two young
men is that the former was inspector
of depots on the Santa Fe, and the lat
ter is train master on the Rio Grande
division. The time card of the Santa
Fe makes the same discrimination of
names, the only difference being that
the Office of trainmaster is few
rounds up the ladder from the Office Of
depot inspector. The office of train
master is more important than the
other, but on account of the trainmas-
ter's initials being the same as those
of the president of the Santa Fe. it was
decided that the young man should
drop one of his initials to prevent any
confusion that might occur in orders
and the mails.
Young Mr.. Ripley is a nephew OF
the president of the road.

SHE soUANDERED A FORTUNE.
Why Wichita Man Wants a Guar
dian Appointed for His Sister.

Wichita. Kas., Dec. 5.-Ida Bayfield,,
of this city, is charged in a petition
for a guardian filed in the probate
court here late Monday with having
squandered an $4,000 estate in less
than two years. The woman's brother,
Ernest Clegg, filed the petition.
He says that two years ago his sis
ter's husband died, leaving her $18,-
600 in cash, and that she fell under
the influence OF John Monk, said to
be a gambler, who exerted an influ-
ence over his sister which caused her
to supply him with money. Accord
ing to the petition, ten days ago Mrs
Bayfield, gave John Monk $1,000. and
now she has but $1,000 left. An or
der was issued restraining the bank
in which the money is deposited from
honoring Mrs. Bayfield's check until
the application is passed upon.

BAKER MUST STAY IN JAIL.
Gets 80 Day Sentence for Stealing
Two Pairs of Scissors.

Charles Baker, an alcohol drunk
ard. was arrested last evening by
Detective Pavey on a charge of petit
larceny, and was this morning SEN
fenced to "be confined in the city
prison during a period OF thirty con-
secutive days" This is the first time
this sentence has ever been passed in
the police court. It is customary to
fine prisoners a certain amount in
money, to be paid or worked out at
the rate of 81 per day In many in
stances this has the same effect as a
Jail sentence, the prisoners being IN
able to pay cash. Baker could not
get out by paying $50, as the Jail sen
tence is legal for petit larceny.
Bakers offense consisted of steal
ing two pairs of tin shears from the
Thompson hardware store and selling
them to a junk dealer for so cents.

yard facilities will be built in this city
by the Rock Island for the accommo-

Henry Myers. roadmaster for the Rock

mentioned that the Improvement had

for more trackage in Wichita by this

that the Rock Island will not daily
