BIG FOOTBALL DAY.
Yale-Princeton, 'Nfichigan-Penn, Car
lisle-SIinnesota, Nebraslxa-K. Z.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE real eli
max of the intercollegiate football sea-
son of 1906 will come TO a close with
the big games scheduled for today.
After today's games the general inter
est in football will be on the wane and
interest will center only in local sec
TONS
Three big games are scheduled for
today that will attract the notice of the
country at large. Two intersectiOnal
games will be played. The Carlisle
Indians will meet Minnesota at Min
neapolis. The redskins have re-
markable team this season and had a
clean slate until they met the Harvard
eleven and were defeated by the small
margin of fYe points. They showed
pennsylvania under and made practice
of the lighter teams they met. In
Coach Williams team they Will meet
more formidable opponents. The Min
nesota squad has earned a reputation
for itself this season by defeating Chi
cago, the supposedly crack team of the
west.
Michigan will meet Pennsylvania on
the latter's grounds. From the dope
Michigan can hardly expect a victory
as they are going into the game with
badly crippled forces. But on the
other hand Pennsylvania is not the
Quaker team of old. They have met
with rooF success this season and can
hardly be considered a representative
The game that will occupy the cen
ter of the stage is the struggle be-
tween Yale and Princeton. Both
teams have come through the season
SO far without meeting defeat. Prince
ton undoubtedly has gotten more out
of the new style of football this season
than any team in the country. The
odds all favor the Tigers in todays
battle, but so far the Ellis have proven
an enigma and there is no telling just
how strong they may show up in their
final contest.
In the middle west the game that
stands in the limelight will be between
Nebraska and Kansas. Nebraska has
the premier eleven of years. Victory
with one exception has been the lot of
the Cornhuskers-
The Jayhawkers have lost once. and
tied with Washburn. According to all
the dope the Cornhuskers should win.
They have made a much better shows
ing on the season than did the Kan
sans. The showing they made against
Minnesota and. the subsequent showing
of Minnesota against Chicago gives all
the favorable impression for Nebraska.
However the 3 a 5.iFs1sylzeFs- area husky
bunch and are liable to come back
strong. They will be urged to victory
by a following of 500 enthusiastic
students who will accompany the team

STILL PREDICT COLD.
Weather Bureau Again Warns of An
Approaching Cold Snap.

The cold blizzard which was expect
ed to sweep down on Topeka last night
failed to materialize but there is as yet
no chance for rejoicing. The coolest
weather of the year will reach Topeka
tonight and there will be snow then or
early in the morning. The thermometer
will hover around the twenty degree
mark.
The precipitation seems to be confined
at present to the regions of the Missis-
sippi and Ohio rivers and North and
South Dakota. A blizzard is on in the
central part of North Dakota, with wind
blowing 40 miles an hour and a tenn
perature of 20; which is accompanied by
snow. Southern Canada reports 20
inches of snow with high winds. North
Dakota has inches. and South Dakota
inches today. It is raining in Mime
sofa, and down as far as Memphis, but
the rain is still east of Kansas, with
only a trace at Kansas City.
The temperature in parts of Canada
near the United States border is re-
ported to=be 2 degrees below zero, but
10 above is the coolest report south of
the United States boundary.
The weather here today has been
ideal for this time of year. The sky
has been clear and up until noon there
was scarcely any wind. The wind is
now blowing with a velocity of twelve
miles from the west The following
temperatures have been recorded for

SHOT IN ABDOMEN.

END. Her Own Life.

Mabel Heckard, a pretty girl of 20
yearsao of age. who has been FOOming at
Mrs. Emblers, sos East Fourth street,
for the past two weeks, shot herself
spondency over love and i'll health. and
viii probably die. The girl has been
in this city less than two weeks. coming
directly from st. Joseph, and has been
resting before continuing her journey
to her home in Oklahoma.
She had made all preparations to
continue her journey this week when
her illness grew worse and she was
compelled to give up the trip. 1t was
then that she told one of the other
girls in the house that she intended to
kill herself. as life was not worth the
living. But little attention was paid to
the threat at the time though when a
pistol shot was heard in her room the
threat was recalled instantly.
Throughout the day she complain
ed of severe pains in her head and
went to her room about 10 o'clock and
a few moments later she fired the sh OF
which will undoubtedly end her life.
One of the roomers called Mrs. Embler
from the head of the stairs and told
her of the shot and the two entered the
room and found the girl lying on her
back with a smoking pistol by her side
An examination showed that the ball
which was from a 3S-caliber revolver
had struck her in the right side and
ranged upward penetrating the abdo-
men and one Kidney, coming out OF the
back near the spinal column.
DR.. Ernest, who was called at the
time said that there was but little
chance for the wounded woman to re-
cover. She was taken to Christ's hos
pital this morning and it was found
necessary to remove one of her kid
neys. There is slight possibility Of her
recovery.
Her father, who is said to be a high
~ respectable and prosperous business
man OF. Oklahoma has been notified
and has wired that he will reach To-
peka as soon as possible to take charge
of his daughter. The girl begged to
be permitted to die and said that If
this attempt should prove a failure
that she will yet surely die by her own
hand as there is nothing in life for
which she cares to live.

FIVE RUNAWAY BOYS.
Had Read Ten Cent Novels, So Left
Their Happy Homes.

Chanute, Kan, Nov. 17.-Five small
boys in age from s to 1 years, are
runaways from Humboldt. Telephone
messages from Humboldt today asked
the officers to look them up and they
were located. They left home Thurs
day night and spent Friday loafng in
and around Chanute and slept more
or less comfortably in a box car. Clay
Dryden ran across three of them at
noon and after listening to their story
gave them their dinner. Precisely why
they ran away is not made clear from
their stories, but it was evident a fall
attack of spring fever more than any
thing else
They read Diamond Dicks regularly,
it is said, and had imbibed erroneous
conceptions of serious matters thereby.

The grain markets have shown few
