IT'S A FAST TEAM.
Old Washburn Stars VIII Play Cha
mute 'Go-Devils'' Wednesday.


The Topeka team which is to play
the Chanute "Go-Devils'' at Chanute
tomorrow commenced practice last
night on Washburn field. The team
will be made up of Washburn players
but they will not play under the name
or Washburn as this would be against
the rules of the school. The team
which has been selected will consist of
Glenn Haughey. left end; Platt. left
tackle; Fatty Clark, left guard;
Whitney, center; Munford, right
guard; James Mcfarland, Of the High
school, right tackle; Larimer, right
end; Hope. quarterback; White, left
half; Millice. right half, and Williams
fullback. Leo Haughey and Smiley
Will go along as substitutes. Coach
eWeede will be taken along as one of
the officials.
It was at first intended to make the
game professional one and to have
on the Topeka team only players
whose college eligibility had expired
on account of having played the full
time. However a different arrange
ment has been made. None Of the
players Will receive anything for their
playing except their railroad and hotel
expenses. The profits will be turned
over to the Washburn Athletic asso-
citation to apply on the deficit. A SINH
lar game Is to be played at Mankato
New Years and the same team will
probably be taken along.

SEES BEER FAMINE.
Chicago Brewer Is Alarmed by the
Scarcity of Barley.

Chicago, Dec. 24.@"One thousand
saloons will have locked their doors
and have gone out of business in this
city by May 1, next" said Adam Ort-
seifen. president of the McAver Brew
ing company, during a talk last night
on the scarcity of barley, which is Sc
riously Gripping the large breweries
and the malt houses and may mean a
probable rise in the price per barrel
of beer within few weeks.
Perhaps one-third of the breweries.
the largest ones. in this city do their
own mailing. The smaller ones buy
of the malt houses. Both breweries
and maltsters for several weeks have
been bidding almost to the point OF
wiping out the margin of profit in or
der to get the few car loads of barley
that arrive in this market each day.
Beer now is selling at from $3.50 to ST
a barrel, according to quality. The
quality depends on many conditions.
but chiefly on the mailing, in which
barley figures as the chief factor.
I'VE are not making a dollar under
the present conditions" said Mr.. Ort-
seifen. LAS a business man can
foresee only an increase in the price.
AS for the other brewers 1 don't see
how they can avoid a raise.
at is a fact known to the trade that
hundreds of the smaller saloons are
not making much If any money now
and 1 predict that 1000 saloons will
have closed their doors and gone out
of business by May 1, next"

Powder Label.
PENALTY is SEVERE.
Sentenced to $50 Days in Jail
and $1OO Fine.
He Will at Once Appeal to

In the pioneer development of any
new state law, there has to be a fall
guy" or horrible example" Clarence
Young, druggist, of sol Kansas avenue,
has been named for this important
position in regard to the pure drug
act being the first man convicted for
an alleged violation of the act In the

jail on each of two counts.
The Young case which was based on
the sale of cocaine and acetanelid in
envelopes purporting to contain DIR.
F'loyd's Headache Powders" was bit
terly contested by the attorneys for the
derense, Reed and Lynch, who put up
a good fight for their client. The case
occupied the entire day, and 1T was not
until SIS last night that the jury came
In with verdict of guilty on two
counts The prosecution asked for con-
v1ctiOn on four counts The third collnc

instructions to the jury. and the defend

The Young headache powder" case
was the first arrest for a violation of
the drug act in the state. Down at
Lawrence some butchers were fined for
putting presentations in their Ham
burg steak, but the drug act was still
untouched when the officials swooped
down on Young about November 1. He
was arrested on information given the
county attorney for selling a package
Of headache powders to Roy Dutton,
a prisoner at the county Jail. The Jail
er, Mitchell Bundy.7 suspected the
'trusty." and searched him, finding tn.
powders in the sweat band of his
hat. This package he turned over to
the sheriff, who passed it on to the
county attorney, who next moved it to
DR.. Crumbine, state health officer. DIR.
Crumbine sent a state house janitor to
the Young store to purchase another
sample of powders in the same kind of
envelope, and sent both samples to
Prof. L. E. Sayre. state analyst, at
the Lawrence university. Prof. Sayre
was a witness in the case yesterday.
He testified that he had analysed both
samples, finding in the first or package
taken from Dutton, cocaine salts, and
in the second, purchased by the state
house janitor, acetanelid, slightly adul-
terated with some unknown substance
which would not reveal Itself by test.
1t was on these two counts that Young
was convicted.

REVIVE OLD PARIS CUSTOM.
Christmas Midnight Masses to Be
Celebrated This Year.

Paris. Dec 24-Christmas eve, always
one of the most memorable festivals of
the year for the foreigner in Paris, is
to be kept this year with all its old
time brilliance.
The archbishop has again authorized
the churches of his diocese to celebrate
the midnight mass. The custom had to
be suspended last year, for, the separa-
ton law having just been put in force,
disorders were feared. Several priests
had been warned, in fact, that midnight
mas would be made the occasion for
hostile demonstrations.
Feeling between church and anti
church parties has shown such a cool
ing down in the past twelvemonth that
Cardinal Richard has authorized the
RESUMPTION of this Christmas eve SER
vice. AS usual, the best singers avail
able have been retained for the occas-
ion. and the decorations will be espec-
tally elaborate.

merchants and manufacturers of
Leavenworth have arranged to give
Mr.. Anthony reception and banquet
December 81. The banquet will be
nonpartisan. J. H. Atwood, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, will be
POSTMASTER. When asked about the
Kansas political situation Mr. Anthony
replied: "I favor the direct primary
for making all nominations. The state
convention should consider carefully
whether Or not they can select dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton under the call just issued If pos
Sible it should be done and the state
ticket nominated by the direct vote of
the members of the party. When
nominations are made in this manner
the cry Of corporation control can not
be set up and our political opponents
are robbed of one OF their main cam
paign weapons. Had 1 been governor
the legislature would have been called
together six weeks ago to enact a pri-
mary law

SENDS ROOSEVELT 'PossUN1s.
BIrs. Longstreet Says Other Southern
Animals Are Envious.

Gainesville, Ga, Dec. 24.-Two fat
'possums were shipped by Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet, widow of the confed-
crate general, to make a part of the
Christmas cheer at the White House.
On the box in which the 'possums were
sent Mrs. Longstreet penned the fol-
lowing:
ITO President Roosevelt, White
House, Washington, D. c.:
These opossums surrendered near
the Wren's Nest, Atlanta, both con-
tending smilingly for the honor of
furnishing the Christmas dinner for
the American prince and his family.
Being so evenly matched in size,
complexion, quality. and good looks, it
seems an unspeakable cruelty to both
by selecting either at the expense of
the other, so they both are sent on the
unreturning journey bearing the loyal
ty of the great empire state of the
south closely followed by the envious
admiration of the entire animal king
dom of Georgia.
Mrs. Longstreet has been fattening
the 'posSumS for month, feeding
them mostly On persimmons.

MAY HAVE A COTTON MILL.
Concern Employing 700 Hands Wants
to Move to Topeka.

It is not improbable that some time
in the not remote future Topeka will
have a big cotton mill which will en-
ploy in the neighborhood of 700 men
and women. The plant will be worth
81, 200, 900 and of this sum it is expected
a million will be raised in Topeka.
The plant is now located in a south
ern city where conditions for it's re-
tention there are not as congenial as
they might be. Its understood that
a proposition will be nade.to the Com
mercial club within a short time by a
Topeka man, relative to the bringing
of the plant to Topeka. 1t is also re-
ported that a half million local CAPT
tai is already assured for the enter
prise.
The members Of the company are we'll
acquainted with the advantages which
are offered in Topeka and are pleased
with the prospects for coming here.
A cotton mill would be a big institu-
ton for Topeka 1t would run the year
around and employ a great many
hands. Women who have to work for
a living could find employment here
which is not very hard. Working in a
cotton mill is more sanitary and
healthy than most factory work
