POOR OLD BAKER.
Only Five Players Left to Meet WASH
burn-Too Bad.

Baldwin. Kan, Oct 5.-When the
Baker team lines up against the
Washburn squad at Topeka next Fri
day it will be in the worst condition
that it has been in since the game was
returned to Baker last fall. With the
memories of an undefeated team fresh
in their minds the Baker students are
clamorlnS for such &, record again this
year but the coach knows and the
team knows that the ambitions of the
school have been too high for this year
and unless the team is much better
than any one has right to suspect
Baker Will lose the large majority Of
the games.
The game Friday will be the first of
the season for Baker. The team has
not had a real tryout vet but it has
been in some hard scrimma ges and as
result of the scrimmaSe at least two
OF the men who had been slated for the
team will be out of the game Friday.
PreShaw who played at guard last year
has a bad knee and will not be back
on the squad before the K. Z. game.
Beaton, who until last week had quar-
terback cinched has a sprained Shout
der and will not be on the team for
star game at end last year is off on
| account of grades. These three men
leave a great hole in the Baker team.
Coach Scherer is discouraged with the
! outlook. He says that the team is not
| in shape to meet Washburn Friday and
that unless the Washburn team is very
weak this year there is no hope of
winning the game. The team showed
up miSerably in a game with the scrubs
| yesterday. The forward pass was bro
ken IN continually by the scrubs an6
| the varsity fumbled the ball many times
| The team which will line up against
| Washburn is: Beatty, left end; Bra
| den, left tackle; Moore, left guard
! Mulvaney, center; Wheeler, right
! guard; Baker, right tackle; Counts, LEFT
| end; HauseI. quarterback: Wight, fef
| half; Dalton. fullback; Simons, RICH
| half. Only i've of these have played
on the team before.

The latest from the Salina Union
is as follows:
That the city of Topeka bought an
old wornout water plant at a great deal
more than it was worth that it was
insufficient for the growing needs of
the city and that municipal ownership
there has not been a good move on
the part of the people of the city was
the declaration of a Topeka travelling
man who was in Salina yesterday.
He made this statement before two
Salina business men and 4 reporter of
the Union. He requested that his name
be not used for good reasons which he
stated.
He is a property owner there and
said:
Topeka certainly made a great
mistake when it went into the water
business. 1t found that it bought a
plant that the city had outgrown and
the source of supply was insufficient
to furnish the needs of the city at
all times. Last winter when the Kaw
river raised, the water got so muddy
that nobody could drink it or use it
for laundry purposes without settling
the dirt out of it. Conditions got so
bad that we bought water from peo-
pie who made a business of selling
distilled water at five cents per gallon.

TOPEKA AN EXAMPLE.
Salina Papers Try to Prove Both Sides
Of Question by City.

Whenever a city wishes to bring
forth an argument for or against the
purchase of a municipal waterworks
system the Topeka plant is taken as
an example. If the city desires to tell
about the enormous proceeds, the in
valuable success and the entire salts
faction of a municipal water plant.
they tell about the experiences of the
people of Topeka and the success of the
waterworks here. On the other hand If
the city is against the proposition. To-
peka again comes in for her place As
an example and the weaknesses of the
local system are brought out.
The latest report comes from Salina.
The two newspapers in Salina are
fighting over municipal ownership
they have been for a good many
months. First the Journal will come
out with an argument and introduce
the Topeka water plant as evidence.

Finally the supply got low and the
Continental Creamery company threw
open its private water plant and let
everyone who would go out to their
plant have all the good water that was
wanted. The Topeka State Journal
exposed the condition of affairs
improvements costing several hun
dred dollars were made this spring
and an increase in the supply was
made, so the water is better now"
Asked about prices for water, he
said:
Il have a six room house and the city
installed a meter. I had to pay IS 100 for
the meter and had to deposit another 50 90
in advance for water. / had to pay the
city SIS for the tap and S10O for an in
spector or city plumber to see that the
connection was made according to the city
ordinance, total of $1225 Just to get
water not counting the plumbing. On
some of the old houses they still have the
flat rate but the city, understand, is
putting in meters all over the town

SPIRITS DID IT.
Mrs. Maybelle Thompson Fight
ing for Husbands Property.
Charges Letters From Spirit
World" We're Used.
FROM HIS FIRST WIFE
Influenced Thompson in Dispo-
sitiOn of Millions.
Widow Asserts That They We're
Part of Conspiracy.

New York, October 5.-A big black
volune of letters from "Spiritland"
was produced before Surrogate Ketch-
am in Brooklyn. when the suit of Mrs.
Maybelle Thompson to set aside the
100000 will of her husband, Robert
Thompson, came up for hearing.
Mrs. Thompson's lawyer, Frederick
w. Sparks, declared that the spirit
letters purporting to come from
Thompson's first wife, warning him
not to wed again, were trumped up by
the aged mans relatives just prior to
his death, in successful effort to
have him cut off his young wife in his
will.
one of the witnesses was Mrs.
Marian Funk, granddaughter of Rob
ert Thompson and a beneficiary under
his existing will Mrs. Funk is the
wife of nephew of DR. Isaac Funk,
who was a friend to Mr.. Thompson.
1t was through her, as medium, that
the spirit of the deceased wife pur-
ported to send her messages to the
husband in this life.
The lawyer for Mrs. Thompson got
an order for the production by the de-
PENDANTS of a stronghold that had be-
longed to her husband. In this he was
certain the new will would be found
1t was not But he found diary kept
by youthful Mrs. Funk. She recorded
there the uncanny results OF her
seanCeS, and the plalntlI 5 lawyers De
came deeply interested in its contents,
especially those that told of communi-
cations in the years 1907 and 1908.
These letters, the young widow as
serts, given to Thompson about the
time the will now being contested was
drawn is convincing evidence that he
was influenced, leaving his property by
the belief that his dead wife disap-
proved of her probable successor.
Mrs. Maybelle A. Thompson is a ma
tive of Brookline, Mass, and it was in
the home of her parents there that the
wedding took place. She had entered
Thompson's employ in the Boston
branch when she was only Z years
old. Her health was fragile and he
sent her on many long vacations.
At the time of the marriage, it is
said. Thompson's sons expressed ap-
provaI of their fathers choice. -Four
months after the ceremony Thompso
died of pneumonia. The funeral took
place at the family mansion at Brook
iyn, and Thomas A. Edison was a
pallbearer.

University Piles Up Big Bill for
Printing.

Tom McNeal, state printer. has COM
pleted his report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, which shows that the
total cost to the state for the main
tenance of the plant for the year was
$93,81S. OF this sum $76,635 was for
cost of printing for the state depart

Brooklyn Footb alters
Down San Anselmo

The Brooklyn football team of this
city defeated the San Anselmo team on
the latter's grounds yesterday by a
score of 10 to 0. The Brooklyn boys,
although lighter than their opponents.
outplayed them and were much the
better team.
Superior team work was responsible
for the victory. Isaacs. the left half
back, had the honor of scoring all Of
the points, making two touchdowns by
crossbucks over tackle. Neither goal
was kicked. Several good forward
passes were executed by the winning
team. and Daley did well in the punt
ing line.
The Brookiyns scored their first
touchdown about the middle of the
first quarter. There was nothing doing
in the second and fourth periods, but
in the third quarter the visiting team
again went across the line.
The Brooklyns will meet the Century
team on Christmas day and ii should
be a great game. A few weeks ago
these teams came together and the
Centuries were victorious. IL to 0, after
the hardest kind of game, in which
luck played big part in the scoring.
Since that time the city boys have
strengthened their team considerably
and have improved in team work.
They are looking forward to a victory.

Century Beats PastimeS
In Joke Game

AS contenders for the local cham.
pionship IN American football the new
ly organized Pastime team is somewhat
of a Joke They challenged and played
the Century club of Oakland for the
title yesterday. and the game was a
farce, as the Oakland lads had their
opponents on the run for all four
quarters. and won by the large score
of 46 10 0. The Centuries scored at
VIII on All manner Of plays. and made
eight touchdowns, one safety and four
goals. Incell did not have his kicking
shoes on yesterday or the score would
have been a little larger.
At the outset the Pastimes looked as
Dc they might do something. They
made ground several times, and broke
up = number OF their opponents plays,
bat IL was only flash in the pan.
The only man on the Pastime team
that did any playing was Aguierre.
who played right tackle. He was a
former Santa Clara player and an
Olympic Rugby man. He did some
good work on defence, and broke up
every play that came on his side Of
the-line 1t was impossible for Bruz-
zoni TO make an end run around that
side Of the line.
The Century eleven was without the
SERVICES OF hiSeF, the star ndlI IDdCk.

successful forward passes, and Quarter
back Moir was able, at any time, to
pun of a quarter sneak. through the

showed how hard il was for a man to
come back even If he had followed the
game closely as a coach. He could not
catch a bull In the back field. and never
showed a sign of his old form when
he was a star on the Lick team.

game with the All Western team that
