HEARST MAKES A CALL.
Spends a Half Hour With the Presi-
dent at the White House.

Washington, Nov. 17.-William r.
Hearst was a caller at the White
House last night. After his visit,
which was about half an hour in du-
ration, he said that he had not talked
politics with the president. having
merely paid him a social call. Dis
cussing Senator Foraker's letter in
which the Ohio statesman defended
his connection with the Standard Oil
company, Mr.. Hearst authorized the
Associated Press to make the follow
ing statement:
81 have no desire to debate the mat
ter of Senator Foraker's connection
with the Standard Oil company. Mr..
Foraker. however. begins his defense
with a statement which is disingenuous
to say the least. He speaks of Mr..
Hearst's charges as if the matter at
issue were merely a question of my
assertions Now 1 distinctly refrain
ed from making any charges and even
refrained almost entirely from COM
ment. I produced the letters and laid
them before the public, confident that
the citizenship of the co.ntry could
draw correct conclusions. Mr.. Foraker
now makes a defense not to my
charges, for ] have not made any, but
to the letters and the certificates of
deposit"

BECAUSE OF A COW.
Pacific Train Crew and Passengers Had
to Lift Animal From Bridge

Coffeyville, Kan, Nov. 17.-Last night
Iron Mountain train No. 106 was over
an hour. late in arriving in Coffeyville
from the south. The delay was all over
couple of COWS that have no regard
run trains on time. The train was in
Fireman Thrasher The story as told
by the fireman is as follows:
Just this side of Hoto the engineer
saw a couple of cows on the track
ahead of him. He shut off the steam
and began blowing the whistle but the
cows paid no attention to the siren
blasts. The engine was stopped and
Fireman Thrasher started after them
at a 2:40 gait. The COWS started off
up the track at a 2:30 gait. Thrasher
chased them for about a mile and a
half when the cattle came to a bridge.
All this time Engineer Lynch was fol-
lowing the chase.
Not being used to crossing railroad
bridges, one of the cows fell into the
holes between the ties. Some of the
passengers came to the rescue and the
COW was rolled off of the bridge. She
lit on her feet and before the engineer
could get back to his engine the COW
had started down the track toward the
engine. Lynch just managed to get
up in time, with the COW after him
and the fireman after the COW. He
finally beat her off the track with
club and the train started.
In the meantime the other COW had
gone around the bridge and was wait
ing for the train on the other side of

TO PREVENT FLOOD LOSS.
Rock Island Raising Level Along
Platte River.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. LIT is re-
ported that the Rock Island has two
forces of graders at work near
South Bend raising the track levels
between the Platte river and
Meadow. 1t is understood that
eventually the track level there will
be raised about two feet. This, when
ballasted, will be high enough to
avoid damage from ordinary floods.
The Rock Island has had more
trouble along the Platte river bottoms
east of South Bend than at any other
one place on its lines in the state,
the going out of the ice each spring
endangering the bridge over the river,
which is a wood affair with short
spans, and summer floods caused by
rain overlooking the grade along the
bluffs between Meadow and the river.
During the rainy seasons the track is
usually in bad shape in that vicinity,
and the work now being done is to
avoid future trouble.

WON A HARD GAME.
Topeka Team Defeated Manlato at
Football by Close Score.

Mankato, Kan, Jan. 1.-The foot
ball team from Topeka and Washburn
college students won a hard fought
game here yesterday afternoon. The
score was to O in favor of Washburn,
Hope turning the trick by neat drop
kick from the 20 yard line near the
end of the game.
The game was one of the hardest
fought games ever seen in Mankato.
The Mankato team was strengthened
by the addition of Bert Pooler, who
played quarterback and White and
Hicks, ends, all three of Kansas uni
versity. In addition two brothers of
Job White the K. U. end were in the
game.
Topeka made a touchdown in the
first half. On a fake line buck Topeka
carried the ball twenty-five yards on a
forward pass. The touchdown, how
ever, after considerable wrangling
was not allowed. Referee Sloan de-
Umpire George White said Washburn
was not offside. The opinion of the
referee was allowed to prevail.
The drop kick of Hope, Washburn's
quarterback, came near the end of the
game and was considerable of sur
prise to the Mankato team.
Mankatos best chance to score oc-
Cured about three minutes before the
end of the game. Mankato had the
ball on first downs on the Topeka
three yard line. Topeka's line with
stood the first two attempts. Before
the third down. Leo Haughey who had
played left end all through the game
gave way to his brother Glenn. Pooler
tried to skirt left end and Haughey
downed him with loss of seven
wards Millice then booted the ball
out of danger.
About twelve hundred people wit
messed the game. 1t was a very court
eous crowd and the Topeka team ex-
pressed appreciation of the treatment
which they were given.
The lineup of the Washburn-Topeka
team was as follows: Leo and Glenn
Haughey, left ends; Platt, left tackle;
Clarke, left guard; Codding, center;
Munford, right guard: Mcfarland,
right tackle; Larimer, right end;

ADD NEW COURSE FOR AGGIEs.
A Course for Those Who May Teach
Agriculture.

E. Z. F'airchild,s state superintendent
of education, has-reeeixed-fro
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, formal notification that through
an additional appropriation made by
the federal government to the Kansas
state Agricultural college, it will be
possible to provide a special course at
the Agricultural college for the prepar-
alton of teachers to teach elementary
agriculture in the public schools of the
state.
1T will be a great thing for the pub
lie schools and the public school teach
ers of Kansas said Mr.. Fairchild, flor
this is an agricultural state, and we
are trying, year by year, to strengthen
the elementary agriculture courses
which are offered in the public schools.
Many teachers feel the need of special
training in teaching this branch and
the action of the federal government
enables the State Agricultural college
to offer such facilities to the teachers
of the state. They will be able to take
summer course in this department at
the Agricultural college, and fit them
selves for teaching this branch
The bill which carried the appropri-
alton for the special training of teach
ers for elementary agriculture was en-
acted at the last session of congress
1t increases the federal appropriation
for state agricultural colleges $1,000 a
inmates with this provision:
Provided, That said colleges may use
portion of this money for providing
courses for the special preparation of
instructors for teaching the elements of
agriculture and the mechanical arts. -
In his letter to Mr.. Fairchild. the
United States commissioner of educa-
ton says:
Special attention is invited to that
part of the new law providing that a
portion of the increase of the appro-
priation may be used by the institu-
lions for providing courses for the
special preparation of instructors for
teaching the elements of agriculture
and the mechanic arts With the in
creasing number of secondary schools
trade schools, and with the introduc-
ton of agriculture into the courses OF
study of elementary and high schools
there will arise considerable demand
for specially prepared teachers to give
instruction in the special branches OF
study. To meet this demand congress
has provided that a portion of the new
appropriation may be expended for this
special purpose
| 1t is likely that the State Asrfcul-
tural college will establish a chair in
it's list of professorships for the teach
| ing of elementary agriculture pedagogy
to those preparing to teach in the ele-
, mentary schools.
1t may be that this action on the part
| of the State Agricultural college will be
| followed by the establishment of sim
| liar department at the State Normal
| school, where most of the school teach
| ers of the state go for their prepare
| ton.

o'NEIL FOR COMMISSIONER
Formal Announcement of His Candi-
dacy in City District.

Edwin L. O'Neil today makes for
NAL announcement Of his candidacy
for county commissioner for the sec
ond commissioner district. Mr.. O'Neil
is favorably known to all the voters of
the district by reputation if not per-
sonally.
In speaking of his candidacy, Mr..
O'Neil said: ST do not profess to be a
politician, and what's more I don t
want to be one as that term is COM
monty used. True 1 am holding a
political office but it as at the sufferance
of the voters and not because of any
political manuvering which 1 have
been able to put into operation. I be-
lieve in buying space in the news
papers and saying just what I have
to say to the voters open and above
board, and 1 believe 1t Is just as legiti-
mate and proper as for the merchant
to advertise his wares.
There are two disgusting practices
in every election which 1 would like
to see cut out-the extravaganza use
of carriages in hauling voters to the
polls and a law making it a mis-
demeanor for any one to stand about
voting places poking cards in peoples
faces as they approach the polls to
vote. Every man ought to be inteIli-
gent enough to decide that question
for himself.
81 don't want to conduct any other
candidates campaign but I would like
to see the boys get together on those
two propositions, before the primaries
are held"
