Within sight of the monument that
marks the greatest Indian battle
ground in America, the Crow Indians
are engaged in all the peaceful pur
suits of husbandry. Only third of

dead on the field, says the Butte In

historic knoll is safer from hostile at

found in the history of the world.

the Admiralty islands, and eaten.
Every now and then such stories drift
in from Polynesia. That sort of thing
has been going on there for countless
centuries. Long before the first white
mariners explored that unknown part
of the world. its inhabitants waged
war on each other. the vietors dining

have improved among those islanders,
but that there still remain cannibals

This is notice that the mayor-elect
promised nothing Of the kind. The
mayor-elect did say shat the floating
debt Of the present city government
was so great that he did not see how
IL could be paid off without an in,
crease of taxes. but that he would do
his best to accomplish that result.
But never one word was uttered by
the mayor-elcct or this paper to the
effect that he would reduce the tax
levy. He said he stood for low taxes.
which was protest against higher
taxes
The Morning Examiner also says,
The Mayor-elect has promised that

Had No Difficulty in Defeating St
MaryS Catholics.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 4.-The Jay
hawkers overwhelmed the Catholic
aggregation from st. Marys in the
first half of a safe game on McCook
field Saturday afternoon. The final
score was % to 0, all but six points
of which Captain Peasants team
rolled up in the first half. Kennedy's
changes in the lineup near the end
of the game did not prove very
happy score getters and a few FUN
bles, added to the general inexper-
fence of some of the subs at back field
positions, enabled Quigley,s game lit
tie aggregation to hold the score to
one touchdown in the second session.
The Catholic lads put up a game
fight from the kickoff, but in spite of
their fast hard work to the end of
the game they never once got with
in striking distance of the K. L. goal
and did not make first down once.
The Jayhawl1er line was too much
for them and punting was a vain
hope for Tommy Johnson and
"Pete" He'll outbooted Hallay at
every exchange. Quigley sent in all
his subs in the second half in the
hope that the freshmen might score.
