from this city to Grafton, where
they opened sessions Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Assistant Tax Commissioner Laco
&c. Young was on the stand next at

satisfactorily the assessment in this
county.
Samuel S. Faris followed in. a
short statement. He was of the be-
lief that the assessment was fair.

which held months session review

few complaints. he had arrived at his
opinion as stated.
Harvey w. Harmer thought the
land in this county was. worth more
than twice as much as in Doddridge
county. He was not familiar with
oil values as between the two conn-
ties. nor did he know much about
the real estate assessment ig adioin-
inc counties. He thought coal
fronting on railroads ought 70 be
raised at least S6O on the acre, or in

stead Of 500. DR.. j. B. Smith

addressed himself directly to the
Governor in quite an extended
speech in opposition TO Mr.. Har'
mer's idea on coal lands and declar-
ing himself as satisfied with the
assessment made by Mr.. Fitznugh
He said he regarded that assessment
very fair and plenty high enough
! Generally the assessment was re-
garded by him as well done.
V. L. Highland upon request
stated that he regarded the assess,
.ment plenty high enough and
thought city property was especially
assessed at the high notch.
Sydney Raymond was of the opin-
ion that the assessment of farm
property was plenty high. although
/ he knew lands that could not be
bought at the assessment.
John G.. johnson thought the as
sessment low enough and very con.
servatiyc. He thought front coal
was too law. Mr.. johnson injected
a bit of pleasantly, when he said, in
effect, that Governor Dawson was on
deck. Senator Tillman at the bat,
Senator Elkins on first base and

ernor Dawson was the only one that
did not roar with laughter. He
never cracked a smile, and that may

that he regarded the assessment fair

than he could have made it himself.
w. Z. Morris, prOsecutin- attor-
ney, was the last on the stand, told
the board of his presence during the
hearings by the county court. There
were not very many important
tgrievances lodged. He had talked
to large number Of taxpayers and
they were generally satisfied with
the assessment.

sessions here sine die.

ron THE BIG BOXING MATCH.
Cornwall and DunIeavy Ready for
Their Thanksgiving NIght Bout.

AS far as the men and their condi-
ton is concerned everything is in readi-
ness for the welterweiSht boxing
match on Thanksgiving night at Metro
politan hall between Jack Dunleavy Of
Boston and Charles Cornwall of st.
Louis, and unless all signs fail it prom
ises to be the best exhibition of boxing
which has ever been seen in this city,
as both men are conceded to be experts
at this kind of a game.
Cornwall reached here from ST.
Louis yesterday AFTERNOON and appears
to be in the best possible condition. He
says he has been training hard and
faithfully for the contest and he looks
it. EIc says that ne is well within the
weight limit, one hundred and forty
seven pounds, and is prepared for a
lightning fast go. Everyone around
town who is interested knows that Dun
leavy, who has been training here for
the past month is in the pink of con-
dition. When he started in training
he was six or seven pounds over weight
and he has had no trouble in taking
this off without affecting his strength.
The men each have a fifty dollar for
felt UP that they viii make the re-
CURED weight at the ringside-
Men who have seen these boys in
the ring say that they put up one Of
the cleverest sorts of an exhibition of
boxing. Cornwall is inclined to be
bit fashy and is very fast. not only with
his hands but also on his feet on the
other hand. Dunleavy, while not
snowy DOASTg Is WOIO6ILuly SCAGllIlllC
and knows every fine point of the game.
He does not hurry things but bides his
time and when the opening comes he is
there with a punch that scores a point.
AS is we'll known these men have
met in the ring three times before with
the honors between them about even.
Under these conditions there is con-
siderable rivalry between them and
that will add much to their interest in
the contest, and also make it all the
more interesting for the spectators.
Three other bouts will be put on as
preliminaries to the CornwaN-Dunleavy
go and one of them viii be between
Ted Williams of this city and Brigham
Young of Joplin. Spencer Arthur Alb
bolt, the ball player, will ofdciate
within the ropes as the referee.

visited Topeka for some time. This
will be the only game this year to be
played on a holiday and a great many
people have not yet had an opportunity
to acquaint themselves with the game
under the new rules A better oppor-
see the new rules in their best work
ing order as both the contrasting teams
rely for very large part OF their gains
on the plays under the new rules.
The two teams are perhaps the most
evenly matched in weight and age that
could be found in the west. st. Mary s
has a slight advantage both in weight
and in the average age of the players.
Ottawa's team will average 152
age about 1856. The average age of the
Ottawa team is slightly over eighteen
years. while the st. Mary's men aver
age nineteen. Both teams have playef
a great deal the same kind of a game
all season and the respective scores OF
the two teams show record the bet
ter of which would be hard to de-
termir1e on the face Of the games
which have been played. ST. Mary s,
however, is generally supposed to
have it on Ottawa a little bit in this
regard.
Both teams will be in good condition
for the game although the Baptists
will be compelled to start the game
with two subs in the lineup. One of
Ottawa's star players will not be in
the game at all Allen, who is gen
orally considered to be the. best man
on the team, in practice last night met
with a bad accident which resulted in
the breaking of his collar bone and
will keep him out of the game. Allen
played at halfback and Coach Brum-
mage considered him one of the best

Missouri will put a team in the field
that will average between 17s and 1872
pounds, according to the line. The line
up that Monilaw will start against
Kansas will average ITS pounds. The
Kansas team will be but a few pounds
heavier. Rutherford, who could not
play against Washington, is doing SEN
sational work at quarterback. The bet
ting at Columbia is 2 to I, with Kansas
the favorite. Bets of even money that
the Kansas will score 20 points are be-
ing snapped up eagerly by Missouri sup
porters-

FARMERS VS.. THE NORNfALs.
Manhattan Is Confident Of Taking
Thanksgiving GnIne From Emporia.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 28.-Coach
Ahearn had his team out for practice
Tuesday for the first time since the K y.
game. The men all went through the
game without being injured in the least,
but they felt so jubilant over the victory
that no practice was held today and
no new formations were tried 1t is
thought that the plays that gained
against X U. will prove effective against
the heavy Normal team at Emporia on
Thursday. Coach Ahearn says that he
expects to win from the Teachers all
right unless the team gets overconhdent.
The boys have had one touch OF that
trouble this season and they lost to
Paramount because Of it, so another at
tack is dreaded The line up for the
Thanksgiving game will probably be the
same as against K. u. although NystrOm
may get in for part of the contest. He
has been unable to play since the Wash
burn game and 1t was almost necessary
to hold him to help him out of the K. u.

Quarter as Coach Ahern was so well
pleased with his showing on Friday. His

It was thought at the close of the
Washbdrn game that the st. Mary's
hard game which Washburn played
against them but last Saturday they
got together in good shape again and
won a fast game from the State Nor
NAL team. Quigley has a great advan-
tage over Brummage in having more
available men to fill in with when his
best men are worn out. Il think that
we will be able to play good game
Thursday" said Quigley last night.
The men on the St. Mary's team are
getting down to work in good earnest
and are practic1ng with a determine
ton to win the game. If we can play
in Topeka as we'll as we have in most
of the games in St. Marys we ought to
have no difficulty in winning the game
from the Baptists."
There will be a great many new
plays sprung on the public in the game.
ST. Mary's is noted for the many spec
tacular plays which the team uses and
although these plays were advertised
good deal for the WaShburn game they
were not used as the team was hope
lessly beaten from the start and it was
considered best to keep them under
cover for the Thanksgiving game. Otta-
wa plays the open game almost entire
ly and those who have seen the Baptists
play report very clever use of the
forward pass.
The officials for the game were agreed
upon yesterday. DR.. John H. Outland Of
the Washburn team will referee; A. c.
Coleman of the Lawrence Y. NJ c. A.
and DR.. Shiras of Ottawa, a former
Kansas university player and later
coach of the Kansas City NEEDLES will
umpire
The best men on the ST. Mary's team
are Balxule, Hughes and Hendrix Bak-
ule is the star pitcher of the Catholics
as well and is southpaw. both as a
pitcher and as a punter. Hughes is a
fast end and Hendrix is a good place
kicker. Rishel, Woods and Price are
the leading men on the Ottawa team.
RisheI will be remembered by Topeka
fans as the man who made a 70-yard
run for a touchdown in the game
against Washburn last year

in losing our best man at the last mo-

not having a good man to take his

Tomorrow will see the closing of the
local football season this year. The
event will be celebrated in Topeka by
the game between the st. Mary's
Catholics and the Ottawa Baptists.
These teams although both light are
among the fastest in the state and as
style OF play the game ought to be of
more value to the spectator and should
do more to impress hfrT- With the new
rules than any other game which has
been played in Topeka this season. The
Two teams are about an even match so
far as can be learned from the pre-
ceding games of the season. It will
also be the only time this season that
Topeka spectators can look at the
game without prejudice. as neither are
local schools and the local feeling and
college spirit which is usually evil
denced in a game will be an absent
quantity.
The Washburn football team left last
night for Oklahoma City where they
will play against Bonnie Owens Okla
bona university team tomorrow after
noon. Sixteen men were taken along
and all of them were in the prime of
condition. WaShburn will go into the
game tomorrow in the best shape
which they have shown all season. In
the middle of the season the work of
the Washburn team was hampered by
the exceedingly heavy schedule which
the team played. However, they have
not played a game since playing st.
Mary's. 4 week ago last Saturday. This
ten days rest ought to put them in
the best form possible. The men are
prepared to play the best game of the
season and if they do not give the
Sooners a hard rub, it will be a sad
disappointment to the Topeka follow
ers of the Blue oklahoma however,
will be in fine shape and reports from
Oklahoma City indicate that Bonnie
Owen has something UP his sleeve

advantage of weight and this will be
largely in favor of the Sooners. How
ever, weight has been in favor of
Washburn's opponents all through the
season and the Blue has the best record
Of any Kansas team this season.

both teams. The college team plays
against Denver university tomorrow
afternoon and many express grave
fears as to COlorado's chances in this
game as a result of the showing made
last Saturday.
The result of the Chicago-Nebrask
game last Saturday was about as ex-
pected. Chicago won by the one sided
score of Is to 5. However. the Corn
huskers played a great game through
out The game is noteworthy. prin-
cipally as it was the closing game il
EckersalFs football career. The little
quarterback drop kicked five field goals
and by his kicking alone made more
than half of ChicagO'S scores. During
the interval between the halves he was
presented with a diamond studded
watch by his admirers among the stu
dent body of Chicago university. The
star game of the Nebraska team was
played by Captain Glenn Mason, the
fast end of the team.
The annual Thanksgiving day con-
test between Kansas and Missouri uni
versities will be pulled off at Kansas
to the dope on the game Kansas ought
to win in easy fashion. The Tigers
are in bad shape and will have to play
the game with several substitutes in
the lineup. Kansas. on the other
hand. will be in pretty fair shape not
withstanding her recent defeat at the
hands of the Aggies. Miller, the left
halfback, viii be the only man who
viii be out of the Kansas lineup. Bet
ting on the game at the present time
is about to / on Kansas. The Jay
hawkers are already trying to devise
some means of celebrating the victory
which they expect to win from the Ms
sourians. A large number of rooters
will accompany the team from Law
renee and in the event of a Kansas
victory there will be a great celebra-
ton coupled with the breaking of
training by the Kansas team.
This year seems to have brought
great many of the smaller schools into
prominence in the football world,
much more so than any previous sea-
son. only last Saturday the strong
Minnesota eleven were given a bad
scare by the Indiana university team
after the Goohers had been credited
with the western championship by
many critics. The first half ended
with the score a tie. to s. In the
second half the Gophers managed to
win the game BY getting away with a
safety, the second one OF the game for
them.

star punter, will fill the hole left by
the injury to Miller. With these ex-
ceptions the Jayhawkers will line up
the same as they did in the Cornhusker
game.
