Rock Island Special Makes a
Record Run.

Rah, Rah, Rah.

Eight hundred enthusiastic students,
composed of brawny sons of Kansas
farmers, the young manhood from the
biggest Kansas industry, every one
with a big expansion of the pnuematic
mechanism, and yelling their college
yell with lusty voices, arrived in To-
peka in two special trains this morning
to attend the great annual battle be-
tween the football teams of the Aggie
school and Washburn college, which is
being played this afternoon on Wash
burns battlefield.
Two big special trains arrived in To-
peka this morning. Four hundred
came over the Rock Island and the re-
mainder over the Union Pacific. The
Rock Island made a record breaking
run. The train left Manhattan at S:3S
this morning and at 9:41 pulled into the
Rock Island station, making the fifty
four niles in an hour and three min
utes. The engine one of the big pas
senger type, was fittingly decorated
with Aggie banners and other emblems
of that school. The six coaches were
also fitted up with the purple and
white.
The Union Pacific special wasn't far
behind and another large delegation of
four hundred accompanied by the
Aggie band came on the special over
this road.
And there are two or three hundred
other rooters and students in the city.
Many came in this morning on the
earlier trains, and the regular trains
this afternoon brought a full quota of
late corners. In all there are about
eleven hundred rooters in Topeka from
Manhattan today.
No sooner had the special trains
reached Topeka, than the student body
of Kansas great agricultural school
formed in line and paraded Kansas
avenue. The big band of twenty-five
pieces headed the procession and the
students followed in line. Coach Ahern
took his football squad to the Throop
hotel, where they are quartered away
from the noise of the other students
The parade proceeded up Kansas ave
nue. to the State Journal office. where
a short serenade was given as a COM
sas newspaper. Many thanks to thu
Aggies for the compliment.
This is certainly a gala day for the
Manhattan students. They have
brought by far the biggest football
crowd of the season to Topeka. And
the students are well behaved set,
who although enthusiastic do not allow
their enthusiasm to get the better of
them.
The squad which Coach Ahern
brought to Topeka numbers twenty
men. 1t is a heavier lot than the
Washburn squad, and a more ex
perienced team. The dope favors the
Aggies, but Coach Mike Ahern doesn't
look at it that way. I'VE have a better
team than we had last season." said
the Aggie coach to State Journal re-
porter this morning but We always
encounter hoodoo every time we play
the Washburn bunch. We always man
age to play a close game, but Wash
burn manages to pull out by close
score. We are expecting a good hard
game today, and we are expecting to
put UP a strong game We hope to win
but win or lose it makes no difference
as long as we get a square deal. 1

Conee in COSTA Rica.

Costa Rica vegetables are grown the
year round, and the tables of the
Panama canal employees are supplied
from there. Six or eight fresh vege-
tables are found on the tables of the
residents any day in the year. AL
though a tropical country, the noun
tain air of the interior is bracing and
this in a measure accounts for the
comparative industry of the tiller of
the soil Next to banana raising, cof-
fee plays the most prominent part in
the exports of the country. The Costa
Rican is a large consumer of this bev-
erage. The coffee served tasted so diff
ferent from ours that I asked a young
matron at San Jose for her recipe.
use sufficient coffee" she said, mot
less than two ounces to a pint of wa
ter. Warm your coffee pot, put the
coffee into it, boil the water, and pour
the boiling water on the coffee, and the
thing is done. If the coffee itself is
boiled the aroma is dissipated and the
beverage spoiled. Just let it come to a
boil.' Then she added: You Ameri-
cans have your coffee too weak. Make
it strong and use three-fourths milk if
necessary; that is better than to use
half milk and half coffee. Mrs. c. R.
Miller in Leslie's Weekly.

PARAMOUNT BEATEN.
Oklahoma Rushes Wore Down the
Wichita Team in Spectacular Game.

Wichita. Kan, Nov. 21.-In a game
repIete with good work and SEN
sational plays. Oklahoma university
defeated Paramount college by a
score of II to A. While it was evil
dent from the start that Oklahoma
was a trif1e stronger, it did not ap-
pear that they had much advantage
until after twenty-fOur minutes of ter
rife playing. The Fairmount line
weakened and its interference was
bad. The pace was evidently too
swift for the Wheatshockers, but it
was not hurting the Sooners.
Back and forth went the teams dur
ing the first half, bucking, punting
and fighting every inch of the way.
Twice did Paramount get the ball
within two yards of the Sooners' goal
only to lose it on a tumble and "a
touchback At the end of the twenty-
five minutes the ball was in Okla
homa's territory when Roberts broke
through the Farm cunt line and made
a splendid run with the entire field
following, making touchdown.
Armstrong kicked goal.
There were but four minutes to play
in the first half, but that was long
enough for Armstrong to go through
Fairmount's right end and make a

VICTORY FOR GOMPERS.
His Report Endorsed by American
Federation of Labor.

Denver. Nov. 21.-There has at no
time since the opening of the con-
vention of the American Fed eration
of Labor been any doubt that Presi-
dent Gompers was not in complete
control, but it was thought possible
that part of his report might be
amended or his political course con-
demned The report was before the
convention for a day and half and
although for while there was vigor-
Gus discussion on some of it's con-
tents. the report was adopted and Mr..
Gompers thereby fully endorsed.

few minutes more play and the half
closed. II to in the Sooners favor.
In the second half it seemed that
Paramount would be able to touch
down. for twice again they got the
ball within five yards of Oklahoma's
goal. only to lose it. Finally, again
working up in the Sooners' territory,
Bates did his famous stunt and
kicked n goal from field. This was
the thing Oklahoma had been fearing
all through the game, but they were
unable to block it. Bates tried it
twice before, but failed. The second
half showed Paramount fighting for
their lives. but they could not go
through the Sooner line when
touchdown depended on such work.
Paramount did not play with the
snap that characterized their game
with Washburn and their interference
was not so good.
