them will be able to make lively COM
petition for the older men.
The freshmen are taking much in
terest this season in the game. There
are but few games in which they will be
eligible for work but by next year they
will be eligible for all the games and
with this seasons workout ought to
show up we'll another fall Some of the
most promising among the freshmen
are Dunn, Smick, Codding, Laidig and
We9tberby.
The only members of last season star
team who are not now in town are
Munford, Brethour and Hoaglin. Nun
will be back the latter part of the week
when he will commence work. Brethour
will be here the latter part of the week
and will probably stay although he is
thinking seriously of going to Chicago
university, where he intends to COM
plete his medical course. Hoag1in is
not in town and has not been heard
from. But he will probably drop in in a
few days.
Coach Weede is more than pleased
with the outlook presented by the first
nights appearance. He says: 1T is
the largest practice I have seen in a
long time for the first night. Back
east the schools very seldom have as
night. OF course it is too early to tell
what we are going to do. but 1 have
confidence that we will make a show
ing. What impressed me more than
anything else last night at practice
was the spirit of the men. Every man
showed the proper spirit and that
counts for a whole lot

MAKE POTATO DIGGERs.
b. H. Pugh Will Start a New Factory
in This City.

Arrangements are being made by B.
H. Pugh, an Oakland farmer, for the
establishment of a factory in Topeka
for the manufacture of a number of
farm i'm elements of which he is the
inventor. Chief among the inventions
which Mr.. Pugh has patented is a po-
tato digger which not only digs the
tubers from the ground but loads them
into wagon as well. At present ar
rangements are about completed for
the organization of a company with a
capital stock of $4,000 which will
place the finished products on the
market.
Mr.. Pugh has manufac tured his po-
tato digger on a limited scale for some
time and it is now past the expert
mental stage and all that is necessary
for success to be made of the inven-
ton is capital to push its manufacture.
This is practically assured and 1t is
more than likely that a plant employ
ing 20 men to start with will be estab-
lished at the old street railway power
plant at Second and Jefferson streets

packages. The druggists" are seen at
a rough board table chopping and shaw
ing herbs, roots and pieces of bark. the
chopper uses an instrument something
like a butchers cleaver, and the shaver
uses jack plane, drawing the Dlaue
toward him instead of showing 1t out
ward.
The druggist has little or no knowledge
of chemistry, and does not use aclos'
solvents or extracts. The animal SUD
stances are put up fresh or dried as re
ceived- Grasses and roots are put up
in native forms. Consequently, the
doses are large This has been their
practice since the written history OF
China began-about 5000 years--Los
Angeles Times.

impression of intemperance in this
country, remarked that there was a
greater proportion of drunkenness
amongst the English people than the
Americans, and they consumed more
spirits. 1t was whisky and gin drink
ing in England that produced the
greater proportion of drunkenness,
especially in the larger centers. In
Durham he had seen more drunken
people in one night than he had in
any American town, and there was a
great amount of excessive drinking in
Glasgow and Edinburgh. He was
much impressed with the beauty of
the English scenery, and was delight

very beautiful drives.

Couple of Kansas City Enthusiasts
Make Hutchinson in 121z Hours.

Hutchinson, Kan. Sept. 17-Van
Martin, son of Judge Frank L.. Mar
tin, and w. E. Jones made great auto
run from Kansas City to this place
They made the 80 miles in 1919 hours
actual running time. They left Kansas
City at a. M, and pulled up in front
of the Midland hotel at exactly 1920
o'clock The greatest loss of time was
at Junction City, where over two hours
were spent before they could replenish
their supply of gasoline. In many
places where the roads were good and
the track clear they made a speed of
IS miles an hour, which is going some
for a country road. The trip was made
without a single puncture or any other
kind of an accident
1t was not altogether a pleasure trim
or d journey simply to make
record that the men made. but 1t is
part of a business trip from Kansas
City to Los Angeles, Cal Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Martin continued the trip to
Guymon, 1. T., today and from that
point on 1T will be made by easy
stages.

Snaka Hunt.

Thursday evening about $50 O'Clock
there was a big snake hunt down In
southeast Mexico, at the residence OF
Col. Harry Cole, and for a time pan
demonium rel gned.
In some manner large and fero-
cious snake got into the hallway OF
Col. Coles residence. Mrs. Cole was
the first to discover the snake and
gave the alarm, and the neighbors In
that locality all turned out and for
while the fight was fast and furious
the reptile striking Doth with bis head
and tail, dodging all kinds Of lick
with icks,crowbars and guns. Masor
Guthrie proved himself the hero o.
the hour, by putting a ball through
the reptiles head. Frank Sannebeck
one Of the fierce fighters says it wa
one OF the largest snakes ever seen ii

that the snake escaped from q circu
ltrain which recently passed through
Mexico. 1t is said that the fierce ex
lcitement for an hour was close up t

Democrats could center upon. Mr.
Clark would really prefer to remain u

ready oanswer his party's call, and
we believe that he should be drafted
and put forward as Missouri's next
Governor. His rugged honesty his
broad experience, his known integrity
and his wide acquaintance would com
mend him to the entire State as man
who would make an ideal Governor
Let Missouri Democrats lay aside

WHAT DOES IT sIGNIFYa
Two Popular Young Bachelors z
Of Mexico Society Become Mem
bers of the Married Mems
League-Does it Look sus-
picious to You2

Rltchie Spence Of the firm OF Buck
ner & Co, and L. II. Hannah, manager
OF this division OF the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co., with an Office In Mex
leo, have been initiated into the my
sterles OF the Married Mems League.
The Ledger representative when
told about 1t was, to say the least
dumbfounded. His first thought was
that these estimablt young gentlemen
had been secretly married for some
time and that he had not only moi
written it for the many Ledger sub
scribers to read but that he had mol
even suspected 1t. But on being in
formed that 1t was not so, his mind
began casting about for another solu'
tion of problem.
Reader, what do you think about
it? Are they really married and tt
whom? please kindly whisper IT to
the Ledger so we can get a scoop.
IL they are not, were they initiated
because the two affairs were coming
off so soon that it really made nj
difference?
And now we have just one mor'
suggestion to make to you, reader
Could it be that the League dlspairet
Of their weddings ever coming ant
taken them in order to console then
In part for their i'll luck.
What do yon think about it?

A Ledger representative called at
the Audrain County Poor Farm,
Thursday, and was taken through the
Institution by Mr.. Willingham, the
superintendent Everything was In
spick and span shape and the inmates
all apparently happy and satisfied
with surroundings. There are niue
on the Farm at present but three OF
these will be shortly sent to Marshall
TO the Home for the Feeble Minded.
1t is OF these three we wish to
speak. Their case is one OF the sad
dest, we venture, In the state and that
they will be soon lodged In an institu-
tion where such unfortunates should
be is a welcome piece Of news to any
who may have been acquainted with
their lives. Mr.. Willingham stated
tnat the three, who were all over thir-
ty five years old, had been on the farm
their entire life and two Of them born
there. The mother was an imbecile
and was an inmate dying on the farm
and leaving her progeny an heretance
Iof thought!ess m inds,
Theodore, the youngest, works a little
and had be had the opportunities OF
most children might have made a
man Of ordinary intelligence, but
placed on this farm, no opportunity
for schooling and with no associates
except decrepit old men in their do
tage and imbeciles he gradually los
the little intelligence be once possess
ed and found the level Of his brother
There is one old gentleman, an In
mate, that is slightly eighty years old,
who has three married daughters that
are all we'll oil and also hiswife is still
alive. He is almost totally blind and
forced to sit day in aud day out oblivi-
Gus to the beauties Of nature that
surround him and dream of the past

him and life was not avoid and vacant
existance.
Mr.. Willingham accord them thu
best Of treatment and in every lwal
the Farm evidences bis efforts to keel
it sanitary and give his charges th'
best OF care.
The County Court, so we are i'm
formed, are making arrangements fol
some radical changes In the manner o
keeping the old people and Others for
ced to live ON the Poor Farm and tina
shortly we may see work start OF

Grumbling a Bad Habit.

Grumbling is a habit that is readily
acquired and harder to cure than a
skin disease. 1t is proper and neces-
sary and sensible for every man to
have some thought Of the morrow and
to plan for his own and bis family S
future welfare, but IL Is both useless
and senseless for him to worry over
the outcome and fret himself into
mental invalidism over that which he
has no power to influence. Whether
the next week will be wet or dry
whether the crops will be bountiful OF
scant, is something that no man car
know in advance, and, after having
done all that thrift and Industry sug
gest, he is sane and sensible who trust
providence or nature 10 do its par'
and refuses to trouble the atmospher'
with complaints.
