Considerable lead has been found in
the ice cream, fruit ices, etc, sold in
Rome. The receptacles used in freez
ing are lined with an alloy Of lead and
tin, and this not only dissolves in the
ice cream but particles are rubbed off
in turning the freezer. An Italian
chemist, proving the presence Of these
metals with copper, concludes that lead
poisoning accounts for much of the
digestive troubles OF the ice cream sea-
son.

At the recent exposition OF the

were given of an ingenious combina-

matograph, whereby the figures upon
the screen were caused to go through
all the motions of singing. while the
sounds issued c0ncordantly from the
phonograph, so that the illusion was
astonishingly complete. Similar COM
binations have been made before, but
seldom with so much attention to de-
tails. The apparatus employed Is
called the chronophone.

HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
K. U. VIII Play No More With St.
Louis University.

Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. 1s.-The Uni,
| versity of Kansas probably has played
| it's last football game with ST. Louis
university, according to Bert KENNEDY
| the Kansas coach. This is not becaus
of any intentional roughness displaye
| in the game Saturday, but because Q
| athletic conditions in the st. LOUIS
school that Kansas does not approve o.
and the manner in which footpal L
particular is played there.
| Coach Kennedy and all the member
of the team who were able to traVe
were in Kansas City last night on the
way back to Lawrence. They left Can
Rouse, captain of the team, in Mullah
ply hospital, st. Louis, recovering from
a conclusion of the brain, and William
Rice the fullback, is at the Planters
hotel with one of the bones of his left
leg broken just above the ankle.
1.-The main objection to the game,
said Kennedy, was the lack of good,
clean, intercollegiate spirit There was
altogether too much wrangling between
the ST. Louis players and Chalmers, the
referee. Chalmers was not firm IN ms
decisions, and they found early in the
game that he was susceptible to argu-
ment. Ali the other officials except
Jake Stahl, the umpire, were poorly
chosen, and the result was dragging
game from the spectators STANDPOINT
In the crowd, too, the lack or real 1oot-
ball spirit was notable. 1t was the sort
of crowd you see at professional Dase-
ball game. The collegiate element was
almost lost. :,
"Of course, we knew of these condi-
tions when we contracted to play St
Louis Other conditions rather than
university spirit were responsible Ior
the final agreement with them. But the
game isn't really worth while Tor the
money there is in it or from any other
standpoint. The exhibition of the game
Saturday affected the men who knew
what intercollegiate sport is as partly
humorous and partly disgusting. Ii
onrn
football than was displayed there,
wouldn't want to be in it at all.
Coach Kennedy was asked about the
Thanksgiving game with Missouri State
university.
I'VE had four men at the Missouri
| Washington game yesterday, because
we know we're going to need all we
can learn about the teams plays. we
will have Angney and Miller, who were
knocked out in the Washburn game, &c
put in instead of Dennis and Rice. But
we have to get new man for Rouses
end.
with muddy grounds we will nave
to work hard to beat Missouri, but II
the grounds are dry we should win by
a small score.

CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles Away

Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable to eat even a light
breakfast, for years, without severe
distress, he has trouble enough.
1t is small wonder he likes to tell Of
food which cleared away the troubles.
''I am glad of the opportunity to tell
of the good Grape-Nuts has done for
me-" writes n. H. man. For many
years 1 was unable to eat even light
breakfast without great suffering.
After eating I would suddenly be
seized with a terrible attack of collie
and vomiting. This would be followed
by headache and misery that would
simetimes last a week or two, leaving
me so weak could hardly sit up Oh
walk.
"Since 1 began to eat Grape-Nuts
have been free from the old troubles.
I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more
times a day, taking it at the beginning
of the meal Now I can eat almost
anything I want without trouble.
When began to use Grape-Nuts
1 was way under my usual weight. now

OSCAR KUEHNE LOSES HIS SUIT.
Can't Recover Land Cut Off by the
Kaw River.

In giving judgment in favor of Clay
| ton Hummer in the suit brought against
| him by Oscar Kuehne, Judge Dana an
nounced a decision in the district court
on Saturday which settles for the time
being, and for all time, unless the case
is appealed, an unusually interesting
dispute over the title to some real
estate because of the fact that at one
time the land was on the south side of
the Kaw river whereas it is now on the
north side.
Mr.. Kuehne, who is the brother of
Otto Kuehne, the head of the big pre-
serving works in this city, purchased
some land about four miles east of the
city in 1892. Twenty-eight acres of this
land was in a strip running east and
west along the Kaw river bank and at
a point in the river where the channel
made a big ox-bow, curving towards
the north The remainder of the land
purchased by Mr.. Kuehne was forty
acres in a square plot and adjoining the
twenty-eight acre strip on its western
end. The northwest corner of this for
ty acres touched the river bank at the
point where the ox-bow in the river
channel started. The house on the prop
erty also stood in this corner not far
from the river bank.
With each succeeding year the river
continued to cut in gradually towards
the south, lessening the swing of the
ox-bow to the north and eating away
the northwest corner of Mr. kuehne's
forty acres and the western end of the
strip of twenty-eight acres in the OK
bow Such inroads were made by the
river on the northwest corner of the
forty acres that Mr.. Kuehne was conf
PEELED to move his house on two differ
ent occasions towards the southeast.
When the great flood of 1903 came
along Mr. Kuehne claims that he had
about fifty acres left out of the original
sixty-eight he had purchased The
flood however, cut practically a new
channel for the river at the point of the
ox-bow and in doing so took off con-
siderably more than half of the land
which Mr. Kuehne owned prior to it.
AS a matter of fact when the water
had receded and Mr.. Kuehne had a
chance to look at his property he found
that the river channel was apparently
no wider than it used to be but that all
of the land left him was about fifteen
acres in the southeast corner of the
original forty acre tract and five acres
in the eastern corner of the original
twenty-eight acre strip which had for
merly been on the bank of the river in
the old ox-bow. Mr.. Kuehne gazed
across the river and concluded that
about twenty-five or thirty acres of
land which belonged to him was over
on the north side bank. He sold the
twenty acres he had left on the south
side of the river, but did not sell the
land he considered his on the north side
of the river.
This land had attached itself to prop
erty owned by Mr. Clayton Hummer,
his original holding being known as a

Here is a poem written by Chester
H. Stamm, a youth who has just en-

an apprentice:
A Machinist's Day Dream.
Twas on a day in. last November
Something happened that 1 well re-
member.
AS stood at my machine gazing
about,
All of a sudden I heard a loud shout.
AS 1 started out to investigate,
Ere, alas. it was too late,
L went to my tool box. and in surprise,
There I heard the mournful cries,
The monkey had fell and wrenched
his jaw,
While the file and chisel were chasing
the saw, --t
The hammer and center punch were
just knocked out,
While the scratch aul and screw driv-
er were having a bout.
The ombination square had been go
ing some,
He laid out the ca1epers, and put the
gauge on the bumm.
The dividers had been split apart,
But the worst of all the fight was,
The ruler hit the level in the face, and
Split and run all over the place.

part of Reserve No. z. Mr.. Kuehne
made a demand of Mr.. Clayton for the
land he believed belonged to him and
which had been cut off from his other
property by a prank of the river, a
prank that reminds one of the vagaries
of the Mississippi as described by Mark
Twain during the days that he was n
pilot on that great stream. This de-
mand was denied, so Mr.. Kuenne
brought an ejectment suit against Mr..
Clayton and this was the suit in which
Judge Dana gave his decision on Sat
urday in favor of Mr.. Clayton.
1t was Mr.. Clayton's contention that
the land in dispute became his because
it was attached to his original holdings
by gradual accretion. Mr. Kuehne
claimed that the bulk of 1t did not go
to the north side of the river by grad
ual accretion but in lump during the
flood of 1903.

Santa Fe depot by Detective Hutton.
When captured he was in company
with a negro and young girl who
gives her name as Emma Evans. The
negro put up strong talk, and was
released by the police. 1t now appears
that it might have been a good plan
to hold him. The soldier declares that
he met the negro and the girl at the

what he heard he thinks the girl came
to Topeka from Great Bend to meet
the negro. The girl was taken in
