Farmer Estes. Near Cherryvale. Thinks
He Has Been Done $1,000 Harm.

Independence, Kan, Nov. 2.-The
septic tank proposition as far as Cher
ryvale is concerned, was given a black
eye when a case was filed with the
clerk of the district court in which
H. r. Estes sues the city OF Cherry
vale for $4,000 damages.
The plaintiff for his cause of action
alleges that the septic tank is a fall
ure, that it does not take the proper
care of the sewage and refuse from
the city. etc. He says the corrupt
matter from the septic tank has been
thrown into Drum creek, that 1t has
polluted the water and ruined his
farm.
The plaintiff says the water in Drum
creek was clear and pure before the
septic tank was built half mile from
his farm. Now he says the water is
made so filthy that it is not fit for his
stock tc drink. He says the damage
done to his home, as to its healthful-
ness. is $4,000; to his land, $4,000. and
to the water course through his land,
$1,000.

Trouble Between Bakers and
WOrkmen About Over.
Leavenworth Bread Makers Win
Long Struggle.
TEN HOURS DAY WORK
Big Demand for Union Bread a
Large Factor in Fight.
One of Largest Houses in the
City Surrenders.

Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 2.-The
union bakers won a signal success
Saturday when an agreement was
signed up between Ed Stewart and the
striking bakers. The signing of the
contract comedies to the strikers ev-
cry concession asked for. A ten hour
day, day work, and recognition of the
union.
A month ago Herman Ross. the ma
tional organizer, came to Leaven-
worth and former a union among the
bakers Demands were made upon the
bakery owners for daylight work, ten
hour shifts. the recognition of the
union and extra pay for overtime.
Conference after conference was
held but to no avail as all the master
bakers were determined to stand pat.
Refusal to recognize the union was
the principal point of difference. An
agreement was reached between the
master bakers that no concession
should be given to the union.
Two of the bakery owners hired
four of the striking bakers who had
withdrawn from this union. This ac-
ton was in violation of the agreement
entered into between the master bak-
ers and the result was the breaking
of the compact and signing of the
agreement by Mr. Stewart.
Numerous efforts were made to
bring about an arbitration of the af-
fair, but the master bakers rejected
the advancements. The union bakers
then stated their case to the Trades
and Labor council. The council agreed
to stand back of the strikers and ac-
cord them their support in any man
ner. An order was sent by the union
bakers to Kansas City for union
bread. The various labor councils in
structed their members to use nothing
but union bread.
The result of this order was that
several merchants in town purchased
the Kansas City bread in order to ac-
commodate the union trade. The
strikers worked up a considerable
trade amounting to seven or eight
hundred loaves a day.
A proposition was on foot to start
a new union bakery in Leavenworth
at the old Schmidt property at Sew
enth and Usage streets. At this stage
of the controversy the grievance com
mittee began to do some effective
work The committee took the mat
ter up and going to each master bak-
er individually. an effort was made to
explain the situation in such a man
ner that the controversy could be set
tied
This will possibly settle the diff
Guilty as all union bakers will be en-
ployed in some way about the Stewart
bakery Mr.. Stewart will employ all
his boys back" said William Hide
brandt. land all the union boys will
be employed either in the shop or on
the wagons"

Fairmount so. Drurx O.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 2-Fairmount
won from Drury college Saturday by a
score Of so to 0. Not once did Drury
threaten to score, and the Paramount
men played about as they pleased. But
once in the game did Drury make it's
first down, and that was close to the
end of the last half.
Paramount did almost all of its work
by end runs and the forward pass
White, ]. Plank and G. Softer got
around the ends with ease. Twice did
White make touchdowns after fifty
yard runs. At the end of the first half
the score stood 81 to 0, and it was evil
dent that Paramount could pile it much
higher. Bates. who is the star player
for Paramount, left the game in the
second half and Martin went in. J.
Plank did good work at kicking goals,
five of them. Wickham, center for
Drury, played the game with that team
and proved himself a star. Drury con-
tinually bucked the Fairmount line,
but could do nothing with it. as Fair
mount was heavier. The Springfield
team attempted the forward pass but
few times, and could not make it work.
Andrews of Drury and Thayer of Fair
mount were put out of the game for
fighting. Steinmetz and Jones took
their places.

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 2.-The Nebraska
Cornhuskers humbled the Iowa Hawk
eyes Saturday in one of the most Spec
tacular and also one of the most bitter.
iy contested gridiron battles ever
waged on Iowa field. The final score
was IL to s. The Cornhuskers Crashed
the laurels Of victory by reason of the
driving power of their attack. Their
offense was a powerful affair and the
Hawkeyes. while waging a valiant re-
sistance, could not stay Nebraska's ad-
vance. The defense of the Cornhuskers
was equally vfrile and iowa while
making many superb gains. could not
advance consistently and was com
peiieo TO devote its efforts in the scor-
ing line to goal kicks from the field.
twice the Hawkeyes booted the ball
over the Nebraska goal posts, thereby
scores resulted from two driving touch
Gowns, the Cornhuskers working their
way down the field in series of re-
slstiess marches for the Iowa goal.
botn eievens played fast, aggressive
Iootnall. mingling end runs and line
smasnes with clever use of the for
ward pass Many long gains were
MADE by resorting to the latter play.
Mucn or Nebraska's success was due to
the onside kick. Frequently the Corn
huskers booted the ball into Iowa ter
ritory and regained the oval in the gen.

loupka was the Cornhuskers' most SEN
sational performer. Whenever Ne
braska needed distance, the ponderous
Cornhusker tackle was given the ball

the defense, Chaloupka broke up many
of the Hawkeye's plays and was down
the Held on punts with the ends to
smother the Iowa runner in a sensa-
tional tackle.
Captain Kirk was the mainstay of the
Hawkeyes, and played a game of rare
br1lliance. His returns of punts often
bewildered the Nebraska tacklers. and
his propelling of the forward pass was
almost faultless in its accuracy. His
clever drop kick from the field gave the
Hawkeyes their first score, and he
missed one other kick only by the mar
rowest Of margins. During the second
half the Iowa captain was injured by
one Of Chaloupka's fierce tackles, and
Kirk was carried sobbing from the
field. Iowa's second field goal was ex-
ecuted during the final half by Hyland.
A second effort by Hyland was blocked
by Chaloupka and From, and a daz-
zling end sprint by Birkner carried the
ball to the middle of the field, where the
battle ended with the Cornhuskers in
possession of the ball.
