MAY PLAY AT ST. JOE.
X. U. Athletic Board Would Go There
for Thanksgiving Game.

Lawrence. Kan, Oct. 16.- The
athletic board of the University of
Kansas, at a meeting late Tuesday,
voted to accept the proposition made
by st, Joseph, Mo-, to hold the game
there, provided, however. Missouri
would consent to hold the game on
McCook field next year. The offer
made by the ST. Joseph Commercial
club was the best one that has been
presented to the athletic arrangements
of the two schools since the trouble
with Tebeau over the use of Assocfa-
ton park began and met with the
unanimous approval of the Kansas
athletic board. In this proposition st.
Joseph offered to furnish a park free.

including all railroad fares and hotel
bills.
While there was no formal action
taken in regard to playing the game in
Kansas City, the members of the
board expressed their opinions in
formally that Kansas would never ac-
cept Tebeau's proposition
Two weeks ago Kansas offered to
give Missouri half the gross receipts
of the game If it were played on Nc

PLUNGE In BEAR LAKE.
President Roosevelt Astonishes the
Natives by Early Morning Swim.

STEAMBOAT, La Oct. 16.-Arrivals
from the presidents Bear lake camp
tell many stories of the presidents
hardihood and capacity for rough
ing it." When he carried his blankets
with him from the upper camp last
Friday and that. night and next morn
ing ate only some cold bread and
meat, which he had taken in his sad
die pockets, they marveled that a
president could be so easily satisfied
but when he jumped into Bear lake
Tor swim upon rising at daybreak
their establishment was almost with
istered at the time less than 40 de-
drees and most of the others were hug
ging the campfire.
The president plunged into the
water as soon as he arose. AS he APP
preached the edge of the lake he
of his party to join him, but none did
so. He swan 100 yards to an island
and then returned. He said upon
landing that the exercise had been
very exhilarating and that the water
was warmer than the air.
1t is now the presidents purpose to
close his hunt with the last round on
Saturday, and to come to Stamboul
early Sunday. He will spend Sunday
afternoon and Sunday night at the
manager for J. NJ. Parker one of the
presidents party. Monday morning
he will leave for Vicksburg where he
is to- speak Monday afternoon. In
vitations to speak at many other
places have been received but all have
been declined and there will be no
more addresses on the southern trip ex-
cept those to be made in Vicksburg
and Nashville, with the possible ex-
ception of a few words in TalluHah.

The Government Is Out the Money
Loaned to jamestown.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Treasury Of
hcials admitted today that the million
dollar loan by congress to the James,
town exposition and the additional
money expended from federal funds
for construction work at the fair will
be loss to the government.
The acting secretary of the treas
ury, Mr. Edwards, has had under con-
sideration for some time the scheme
of assuming charge of the exposition
and retaining the gate receipts as a
part return of the governments loan
Under this arrangement the running
expenses would, of course, have to be
paid from the federal till and it was
finally concluded that the admission
to the grounds was not large enough
to meet those expenses.
BY the act of congress granting
loan to the exposition company, the
only redress the treasury officials
have is to levy on the receipts. 1t is
understood that there are now be-
tween 5000 and 1000 paid admissions
to the grounds daily.

Writing for Plays.

New York, Oct. 16-Jerome K. Jerome.
the English author, who has just arrived
in this country blames Andrew Carne-
gle for having made a playwright of
him.
THE Carnegie libraries he said,
"have driven me out of the business of
writing books into that of writing plays.
There is no more money in books be-
cause people do not buy as they used to-
but get them from a convenient library"
Mr. Jerome is here to look after the
rehearsals of his new play, Sylvia of

MIR. ooBURN ON BROOM CORN.
He Discusses the Far Western Crop Of
Kansas.

Broom corn. the great western Kansas
crop, is discussed at some length in re-
port given out today by F. d. Coburn,
| secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture The figures collected by Mr.. Co
burn show that while the broom corn in
dustry has been. developing in some of the
far western counties, it has ceased 20 be
an important crop in Mcpherson, Reno,
one time the principal producers. Mr.. Co
burn says:
THE industry's period of greatest pros
perity seems to have been in the decade
ending with 1891, the crops in that time
aggregating in value GIG, as against
Sc, $40. 319 as the total value for the follow

BILE that the annual acreage since 1885,
are uniformly smaller than for the pre-
ceding years of the past quarter of CEN
turg;
year in the past % was s.42s acres. in 1906
In 1882 Mcpherson and Pawnee counties
together had over % per cent of the
states area, the former having 1887 and
the latter 1925 acres. Beginning with the
year of it's organization in 1870 Mcpherson
county led in broom corn until 1884 when
Allen outranked it. Mcpherson was first
in area again in 1885 and continued in
that rank until 1891 when Rice had the
enne returned the largest acreage, and in
1893 had the greatest area 1888 acres,
Cheyenne continually retained first place
until 1896 when Mcpherson again assumed
that position, and remained at the head
for the next four years. In 1901 Cheyenne
was first again, and retained the place
until 1905, when Stevens rose to first
rank.
While the counties having the record
areas are more or less widely separated,
the territory most noted for the produc
ton of broom corn is probably comprised
in the adjoining counties of Mcpherson,
Rice and Reno. In 1896 these had over
one-fourth of the state area in broom
corn. In the earlier years nearly every
county had some broom corn, but then as
now the counties usually having the
larger areas were those in the central and

and three-fourths of the states area was

Stevens had the largest area, 427S acres,
of any county for 1907. Cheyenne was sec
ond. and Kearny third in point of area,
followed in the order named, by Stanton,
Hamilton, Mcpherson, Rice and Reno.
While Mcpherson, Rice and Reno still
raise more or Less broom corn their an
nual areas are greatly reduced. owing to
the fact that the more staple crops flour
ish there so abundantly. The four south
western counties of Stevens. Stanton

(sorghum) was worth $4,000
Likely in most cases investiga ton will
reveal that the broom corn decrease was
because other crops paid better If re-
ed on, the crop would doubtless become
one of much greater Importance. and in
fact the state is yet considered one of the
foremost in it's growing"

athletic board after sending Hether-

Missouri would make the same offer
Kansas did for the game to be played
on McCook field. This proposition,
too, the athletic board of Missouri re-

attempt to reach an agreement with
Tebeau in Kansas City last night
which was followed by the offer from
St. Joseph which the board voted ia
