LOOKS LIKE A BIG FIVE.
Kansas VIII Enter the Conference and
Iowa VIII RecOnsider.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 13.-Afrer three
sessions of the athletic board of the
University of Kansas it was decided
last night that Kansas would enter the
Kansas City conference, and that #
the other schools interested desired to
adopt the rule barring freshmen and
three-year men, that Kansas would
concede if these rules did not affect
men who were in school before 1905.
This action was a recommendation to
the university council to adopt these
rules for Kansas as soon as Missouri
and Nebraska did.
1t has been found out that Iowa will
again send representative to Kansas
City, or. at least, the Kansas board has
unofficial notice to that effect Man
ager Lansdon and DIR. James Naismith
now affirm nat the big Five is to be
resurrected. They do not say who is
the mysterious stranger who is to be
given credit for the resurrection
The adoption of the rule would not
affect athletics at K. u. until next Sep
TENDER. Then the freshman team
would be disposed with and the fresh
man rule would go into force So long
as Kansas is not forced to adopt the
rule this year there is not so much op-
position to it, but any move to adopt
the freshman rule this spring would
be opposed by the students at K u
in such a spirited manner that it is
doubtful If the university council would
pass it.

SOLD AT sHERIFFss SALE.
Land in Bourbon County Brings Good
Forced Sale" Prices.

Fort Scott. Kan. Feb. 1s.-There
was an unusual scene in front of the
court house yesterday. Sheriff p. c.
Hesser at that time sold Bourbon
county farming lands, bringing in a
sum in cash and notes amounting to
$19,845. 1t was the record sale in
years of the 'sheriff's hammer sys-
tenn. The property. is the famous
Chambers estate of which there has
been so much court airing and pub
licity.
The total acreage of the farm lands
sold amounted to $50 acres. The land
lies down about HiattviIle and is of
the most valuable farming land in the
county. When the late Mr.. Cham ers
died there was a contest over some Of
the property, and the heirs seemed
unable to get together on an amicable
settlement. The final action was
agreed upon of a sheriff's sale. and
the time was announced for yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. at which time
the crowd of prospective purchasers
began to arrive. J. 7. Reagan, who
lives in Washington. county, Pa. was
en- hand. as was J. NJ. Smith of Null
berry, two wealthy men, who proved
the highest bidders. The Reagan fac
ton bought four pieces of the land,
amounting to a total of $50 acres. for
which they paid $13.370. Smiths new
possessions embrace 800 acres which
cost him $6.457. The sale was quite
spirited for the time it lasted.

HAS LETTERS FROM LINCOLN.
Seneca Woman Remembers the Dead
President Very Well.

Seneca, kan, Feb. 13.-The birth
day anniversary of Abraham Lincoln
recalls the fact that Mrs. G. C. K. SEQ
vile of this town, wife of the presi-
dent of the Citizens State bank of
Seneca, was named by Abraham Lin
coin on the occasion of one of his
speeches. Mrs. Scovil1e remembers
Mr. Lincoln. She was born in Gales
burg, Ill. Her father, George I. Ber-
gen, held a government position. Mrs.
Scoville remembers that when she was
a little girl Mr.. Lincoln came to Gales
burg to deliver a speech. 1t was the
first time that he ran for the -presi-
dency. George Bergen and Abraham
Lincoln were friends.
A great procession was arranged in
Mr. Lincoln's honor and the daughter
of George Bergen rode in the carriage
with Lincoln. AS the crowds cheered,
the child stood in the carriage and
added her cheers for Lincoln. He was
greatly. pleased at the child's demon
stration and lifted her to his knee and
gave her the name of his wife, Mary
Lincoln.
Mrs. Lincoln's maiden name was
Mary Todd. She was employed as
seamstress in the family of Mrs. Ber-
gen. Mrs. Scoville has letters in her
possessions written to her father by
Lincoln Grant and Yates, the war
governor OF Illinois.

SELF to the ways Of the fistic world in
that city. While he did not win the
championship of the heavy weight
colored class of prize fighters he made
a good record for himself and won
many friends in the Quaker city who
have predicted a great, future for him
In his work.
During his sojourn in Philadelphia
johnson engaged in two fights in
which he showed his ability to a mark
ed extent. Both his fights were with
Morris Harris, the leading heavy
weight in Pennsylvania. In his first
bout which occurred about three
weeks ago, the fight lasted but little
over one round. johnson had Harris
down taking the count when the gong
sounded the end of the first round. In
the second round the fighting was eX-
ceedingly fierce with Johnson having
slightly the advantage at first. Harris,
however, was not to be OutdOne and
made one vigorous effort to land on
his opponent which he succeeded in
doing by means of chance blow
while Johnson was retiring from a
cHnch and was com pletely off his
guard. johnson went down and out.
This was Johnson's first appearance
before the footlightS in roped arena
where the audience was composed of
fstic sports of the first water. John
on his man and winning, can be eX-
cused on account of little stage
fright which is to be expected when a
western lad bucks up against the real
thing for the first time in his life.
johnson, moreover. went into the
fight with but three days training. 1t
was a hard lot for an aspiring young
pugilist to bear but Johnson was a
game loser and won many friends
among his spectators
A week later the two men were
brought face to face in the same ring
for the second time. Both men were
in good trim, Harris somewhat hope
full on account of the former fight and
johnson not overconfident but ready
to put the best that was in him in the
fight and win If such a thing was pos
sible. johnson was 2 to / favorite
when he entered the ring. The fight
was limited to six rounds, during
which time Johnson was the aggressor
and had his opponent crowding the
ropes and lying PROSTATE on the floor
taking the count at several stages of
the game. Johnson had the fight won
hands down but on account of the
Pennsylvania law in regard to prize
fighting the fight was a draw. How
ever, the Philadelphia newspapers
were unanimous in giving johnson the
decision.
Morris Harris, his opponent, is a
fighter of some note in the heavy
weight class. He won from Jack
O'Brien a short time ago in a fierce
