washburn Scrubs Monday.

The second big game of Went
worth's 'sseasou will be with Washburn's
second team on the academy campus
next Monday afternoon. The cadets
were so clearly better than the Kansas
near-regulars last Monday that their
followers are expecting them to de-
feat the Washbarnites. The gentle
men from Topeka, however, are cog
infant of the tact that they will not
be up against an ordinary prep team
and will endeavor to show superiority
to their neighbors from Lawrence.
Coach Tillman is working the
Wentworth team hard and has it ap-
parently in mid season form. In the
K. u. game it was the adamantine
defence of the cadets and the brill
liant running OF Cook that turned
the tide. AS yet the team has not
shown sufficient speed to be salts
factory to the coach. This is due
largely to the fact that Hillix, the
quarter back, is green man, this
being his first year at that position
and his first year on the team. Bu'
the tow-headed lad is improving
rapidly and the wise ones say that hi
bids fair to develop into as good I
man as was Roberts, the best quartel
!, back Wentworth ever had.
The backs and ends have still
great deal to learn about the ney
game, especially the forward pass
From now on the defense will not b
the cause of much worry.

Dover News
We feel sure that the public has ap-
preciated Senator Richardson's efforts at
Washington IN behalf OF our waterways.
But there will be one or two steamboats,
short here when our rivers are all apen
and II the Senator could get an appropria-
ton from Congress for the purchase and
equipment or such steamboats, as We
may need, we might manage to keep them
going But unless the Government fur
nishes the boats we hardly know whore
they are coming from. Philanthropists are
getting scarce down here. and capitalists
willing TO build and run free steamboats,
FOR the benefit OF their health are hard 10
find. We have fine steamboats, that have
been running here now for years, that
have never paid their owners one do"ar
ent the investment. They pay their expen-
ses and keep everything nicely moving,
but the owners get nothing, and It LOOKS
10 us as II 1t we're only O question OF a
little time when we sha ] lose soms Of
these boats. But the cry here seems row
TO be, more steamboats,, and freight
competition, and let 'em make a living
If they can. This of course IS lne FER the
people If the ooat-owners viii be good and
keep up the pace.

demned the open pulpit, while "a supported it.
The good bishop erred in both sight and hearing
Perhaps Mr.. Bancroft is familiar with the old
story of the Sussex county parson who went TO
preach the funeral sermon over the remains of
man named Jim. Jim good man, but an
other man named John was bad man. The
preacher was not so familiar with the community
as he might have been. He had been informed
that John, the bad man, was dead and his funeral
sermon roasted" the bad life of Johr. for the
parson was fearless man. The preacher after
ward looked into the coffin and found that it was
Jim, the good man, who was dead John hap
pened to be concealed in the congregation and
heard the kind of a sermon that would be preach
ed over him were he dead John promptly re-
formed But the preacher had made the mistake
of confounding the two men.
So we see that it is possible for people to make
errors. We should try to be accurate so that
Mr. Bancroft will have better opinion of us all.
Incorrectness is annoying to him. it is to other
people

GRAY AS A COMPROMISE.

David i Marvel. the Hon. l.. Irving Handy, the
Hon Peter lanes Ford and various other dis
ting,iished local Democrats when 1t says
The truth is that Judge Gray at this very
moment is nearer TO a presidential nomina-
ton than most OF the men who have been
elected president since the civil war were TO
the nominations Of the respective parties at
an eorsl interval in advance OF the nomina-
tion conventions. The Democratic situation
has been for weeks developing in fashion
which points to ndge Gray as more likely

That compromise candidate will be needed

The button and literature campaign is evident
