GENERAL WATTS A FLYER.
Three Year Colt Breaks WORLDS
Trotting Record at Lexington.

Lexington, KY, Oct. l9.-General
Watts, the 3-year-eld bay colt by AK
worthy, Friday afternoon, trotted tne
first heat of the Kentucky stake in
2:O6A, establishing a new worlds rec
ord for 3-year-old trotters and beating
the former record of 2:0SA held by
Kentucky Todd made at Columbus two
years ago. The colt won the second
heat in 2:09A, the fastest two heats
ever trotted by a 3-year-old in race.
Throughout the afternoon there was a
stiff wind blowing down the BACK
stretch and if it had not been for this
wind, it is believed that the colt would
have won the first heat in 2:O5H4, the A
year-old stallion record.
Risa was second in each heat and was
only defeated a half length in the sec
ond heat. General Watts is owned by
General c. c. Watts of Charleston, w.
Va, and has been trained and driven
in all his races by Mike Bowerman of
this city. The colt formerly belonged
to Senator Bailey of Texas.

Peoria, I'LL, Oct. 19.-Lewis H. Will
son, a student at the Eureka college
theological seminary at Eureka, H.,
shot and wounded John Walsh. a class
mate during the assembling of the class
for the recitation. Wilson fired a re-
volver point blank at his victim, the
bullet lodging in Walsh's neck near the
jugular vein. Walsh's condition is con-
sidered serious.
Thursday afternoon Wilson chal-
lenged Walsh to a fight, which was
rejected and Wilson purchased a re-
volver of a hardware dealer and prac-
ticed target shooting on the college
campus just prior to the converting of
the class. Walsh's home is at Sydney,

small town in Missouri.

LAWRENCE CROWD WILLING.
Say They Will Go to ST. Joseph for
ThanI1sgiVing Football Game.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 19-The resoIu-
ton of the University of Kansas ath-
letic board declaring in favor of ST.
Joseph for the Thanksgiving game with
Missouri was at first looked at as
masterful piece of bluffing on the part
of the local board to bring Tebeau to
terms, but the latest developments
esem to indicate that there is really
something to the St. Joseph proposition
after all. Manager Hetherington teIe-
phoned the local board last night that
the decision of the NJ. S. U. board
would be favorable to st. Joseph for
the annual game and for Manager
Lansdon to hold himself in readiness to
go to st. Joseph Tuesday and close the
contract with the st. Joseph board.
The st. Joseph Commercial club Of
fers free grounds. free transportation
and all expenses for 80 men from each
school 1t is the best proposition so
far offered to the Tigers and Jayhawk-
ers. Manager Lansdon was in Topeka
Thursday and arranged for train to
st. Joseph via Topeka, the fare to be
is pretty high for the students but as
it is a vacation time and many of the
students live near st. Joseph it is GER
tain that at least 500 will make the
trip.
The reason that the Tigers refused to
play at Lawrence or Columbia was that
the Missouri athletic board is in debt
and depends upon the Thanksgiving
contest to pay out for all other sports
Having the game at st. Joseph with an
even division of the spoils makes it
certain that both schools will come out
with quite a nice pile of long green.

NEED COLD WEATHER.
Business Is Retarded in the East But
Good in West.

New York, Oct 19.-Bradstreet's says:
Trade, crop and industrial reports are
rather more irregular. Interest as to
distributive trade has now largely pass
ed from the wholesale and jobbing
branches to the retail trade, the devel-
opment and proportions Of which will
be closely scrutinized from now on. So
far the reports as to this line are con-
ficting, being best in parts Of the
northwest, southwest and south and
relatively slackest at the east, which
needs sharp cold weather for best ac-
tivities. Jobbing business is fair as a
whole it being noted that house trade
is very quiet, while flling-in orders
vary with sections reporting. The
money stringency is an additional fea-
ture which attracts attention affecting
as it does the item of collections on
past transactions. AS to this item or
collections, too, it may be said that
holding of crops has been subject OF
complaint from several points. Favor
able weather for the European beet su-
gar crops has caused weakness abroad
and sympathetic easing here, with raw
sugar down five points. Business In
iron and steel is very quiet. Copper is
again weaker and more competition Tor
small orders has developed.

Jayha wkers for giving the resolution
passed by them to the Kansas papers
before they had reached Columbia.
1t is thought here that the terms
made Kansas are to accept the propo-
sition for a game at st. Joseph this
year, a game on McCook field next year
and game in Columbia in 1909. The
terms, if true, will not meet with the
favor of the student body. They asso-
ciate the Kansas game and Kansas City
together and the annual Thanksgiving
struggle will lose half it's interest if
taken away from that place.
