81. John i, and Great Bend 0.

The..Foot Ball game..Friday was
the best we have ever hadsshere in
our recollection the st. John
team has our team little over
matched for weight and possibly
for practice and training. The
game lasted fifty minutes and was
played without a manager. The
St. John boys play like and are
gentlemen and if foot ball was
always palyed BY a set of gentle
men like their team and ours and
in the manner of the game Friday
a great deal of the opposition to
the game would be overcome and
games would be more generally
attended. We are glad to say for
the boys of both teams that this
was the best conducted game of
foot ball that we ever attended
Hilleray of Stafford and Art
Banta of Great Bend we're the
referees and the manner in which
they handled the game shows both
gentlemen to be up and up on th G
points. The score was St. John
II, Great Bend 0 this score shows
a very good game. We will be
glad to see the s. John boys here
again.

About Farmers Institutes.

The State Of Kansas spends less
money on farmers institutes in proper.
ton to number held than any other
state in the Union. And probaly no
state gets 50 much good out Of its
institutes as Kansas. The credit can
not be given to the state government,
however, but to the state agricultural
college. whose class work must suffer
to certain extent, through the draft
Of the institute program. The fact that
the college sends thu professors TO
the institutes indicates that it consid.
ers the institute work quite as import
ant as the curriculum Of the college
il not more so, Yet if the state appre.
clates the college. it should also ap.
preciate the institute. and support the
latter more generously. Especially
when the Institutes are a direct bene.
fit to the farmers who pay the taxes
while the college is benefit to the
sons Of the farmers who can afford TO
send their bows to school.

The Commercial Congress.

Muskogee. Nov. 22.-The Trans
Mississippi Commercial Congress
continued its sessions today.
Henry I. Clarke, of Omaha,
President of the Missouri River
Improvement Association, gave a
comprehensive history of the
movement by various associations,
congresses and conventions, par
ticularly those of the west, look
ing to the improvement of the
rivers, harbors and waterways of
the country. His own Acquaintance
with the Missouri River extended
over period of fifty two years.
he dwelt upon the fact that 40 or
80 years ago. there was a large
commerce On the river, steamers
plying upon its waters in the
summer season from St. Louis to
Fort Benton, a distance of 228O
miles, but with the con ing of the
railroads, with their competition
and their unfair rebates and
passes, the steamers we're driven
from the waters. He said that
by studying the vagaries of the
river. the silt could be largely
placed where desired and the
banks made intact. He deplored
the money that had been expend-
ed upon permanent work with
timber and rock, contending that
cables to which are attached trees
and brush weighted down with
gunny bags filled with sand and
extending into the river at proper
angles would be sufficient barrier
to check and direct the current.
He was convinced from his ex.
perience that disastrous erosion
could be prevented at a very
moderate expense.
He urged the creation of a
separate department for the
Mississippi and Missouri, the
. river to be divided into reaches of
one hundred miles or less, each
section to have its own steamer,
road machinery, oxen and man.
He thought it an unnecessary
expenditure of public money to
survey the meandre line of the
river. as it was the intention of
the government to do. Inl leu of
this, he strongly advocated the
survey and stalking of a channel
line for steamboats, and the light
my of the channel when it should
be open for navigation.
He said he expected. before the
completion of the Panama Canal,
to see the whole river lighted
from New Orlens to Fort Benton,
and thousands of compartment
barges carrying down the product
of the fertile Missouri Valley and
bringing back the coal and iron
of Pennsylvania an@ the products
of the south and of the whole
world at a cost of at least one
third of the present charges.

Fluelen to the ST Gatthard Tunnel
and beyond was 4 marvel of engin-

and lower attitude was gained by a
tunnel in the mountain in almost a

Three times we passed the village Of

posite direction, once far above, as.

wild in the extreme, and the bridge

across the rushing Reuse, just below
magnificent fall I6o feet high. In
the mountain was cut the Suvarof
monument eight years since to mark
the spot where in 1899 the French
contended with, the Austrains and
Russians in deadly conflict. The
St. Gotthard tunnel was over nine
miles long; it took twenty minutes
to pass through it. II was eight
years in building and cost eleven
millions of dollars. The engineering
methods by which the mountains
we're descended were as marvellous
as those used in the ascent. Sub
tropical vegetation began shortly to
appear, showing the great difference
in climate between the northern and
southern slopes Of the Alps. Il took
three and half hours to ride from
st. Gotthard tunnel to the southern
line Of Italian Switzerland. Our
only experience OF annoying and
huniliating custom house treatment
was at the Italian border. We were

our baggage and delayed over a

Grand Canal by moonlight is verify

however, are too strong. for the
Lido, the sea beach of Venice, about
ten miles to seaward. Our party
took an afternoon off and went to

The fighting blood q

Ithe Grand Army member Of our
party was raised almost to the boil
ling point by the discourteous treat
ment OF one OF the ladies', OF, which
he happened to be witness and of
which the writer. learned afterwards.
We had but half day in Milan,
seeing first of all Leonardo da Vinci S
famous picturescf 'sThe Last Sup
per, in the refectory OF an old
church called SANTA MARIA DELLA
CRAZE. 1t was badly faded and in
the last stages of decay. Its ground
was not canvas but a plastered wall,
and here and there over the faces of
the Apostles and Christ patches of
the plaster had peeled off, while be-
low, a section was gone where the
Austrains had cut through door in
the Napoleonic wars. We also spent
some time in the Cathedral. 1t is
larger that that at Cologne, though
not SO imposing. Without and with
in it is covered with wilderness OF
statues, some 6, 900 in number. We
missed the celebrated statue of the
skinned man, Saint Bartholemeo.
He is represented with the process
completed and the skin flung over
his shoulder. 1t has been humor-
ously suggested that he would be an
appropriate statue at the entrance of
the New York stock exchange, save
in this--that he was allowed to carry
!oh his skin. In front of the Cathed-
raj in the center plasa, is a magnih-
cent equestrian statue OF Victor
Emmanuel. Italians teel intense
pride in Garibaldi and Victor En-
manuel, the heroes OF national unity,
and well they may, for new polit-
ical era has dawned on this ancient
land. Just across from the Cathe-
dral and statue is the Victor EInman-
uel Gallery, $50 feet long, the finest
arcade in the world, lined with
twenty four statues Of celebrated Ital-
ians. We passed through it to the
La Scala theatre, and saw its inter-
ior with $500 sittings and six tiers
of gilded boxes. Only distinguished
artists appear on this stage, and the
fame Of an aspiring singer is almost
made when allowed to appear here.
In the piazza in front is statue of
Leonardo da Vinci in whose tame all.
Milanese feeljust pride.
An afternoon ride brought us to
