The Union Pacific will run special
train to Manhattan Turkey day for the
Washburn and Topeka crowds. The
train will leave at 12:45 p. M, and re-
turning leave Manhattan at o'clock.
That Washburn will play the great
est game Of the season is nowhere
doubted. Each game has shown the
Blue in better condition and playing
in better form. None of the squad now
is crippled with the exception of Crum-
bine quarterback, who sprained a foot
on the eve of the Tarkio game. Captain
McCarroll, in his place, ran the team
in Kansas City and did great work.
Especially in punting and in running
back his opponents kicks was he pro-

outkick him this season. He and Hardy,

SEASON OF SURPRISES.
Critics at Sea in Picking Champion
Football Eleven

Boston, Nov. 21.-The college foot
ball season which closed last week has
been one of surprises and unexpected
upsets among the big teams, and I'M
looked for strength by colleges that
have hitherto been regarded as weak.
The question of awarding the theo-
retical championship probably will
prove almost as fruitful theme OF
discussion among experts as that of
the equally theoretical all-American
eleven which sporting writer's like to
figure out on paper and on the make
up of which no two ever agree.
Most of the experts have postponed
the settlement of these two questions
until the final games are played.
Thanksgiving day Pennsylvania will
clash with Cornell at Philadelphia
and Brown will meet the Carlisle In
dians at Providence. On Saturday
comes the annual army and navy
contest at Philadelphia.
The following are the games won,
lost and tied and the total points
scored by and against Is of the eastern
COLLEGES:

MEXICAN RIOTS EXAGGERATED
Former Kansan Says Americans Do
Not Regard Situation Seriously.

Newton, Kan, Nov. 21.-That the
seriousness of the recent riots in the
City of Mexico, Guadalajara and other
Mexican centers, directed against for
eigners in general and Americans in
particular, has been greatly eXagger-
ated is made certain by a letter re-
ceived by Mrs. Taylor Lacy from her
brother, Cooper Jackson, ali old New
ton boy, who for several years has
been connected with the Mexican Her
aid. an American newspaper published
in Mexico City, as business manager.
He makes light of the so-called riots,
and says similar disturbances in New
York, Chicago OF any large American
city scarcely would be considered of
sufficient Importance to send out on
the wire. He says there is no danger
to Americans. that the disorders We're
caused by a few indictments of the
lowest classes. and that the govern
ment acted quite promptly in suppress
ing them.
The Mexican papers gave the affairs
no particular prominence, treating
them much as other news items of the
day, and attaching no unusual import
ance to them.

to Physical Valuation OF Roads.
Santa Fe Officials Are Keeping
This Before the Public.
RIPLEY'S ARGUMENT.
President Sticks by Policy Given
Out Some Time Ago.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

President E. p. Ripley of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa F'e Railway COM
pany several months ago announced
that his company did not object to the
physical valuation OF railroad property
for the purpose of aScertainlng Wheth-
er the property had been overcapital-
lied, but he insisted that it would be
a calamity to the commercial interests
of the country to use the physical
valuation as basis for freight rate
making. The Santa Fe officials VINO
are carrying on a ''get-acquainted'
campaign over the lines are keeping
the argument advanced by President
Ripley constantly before the public
mind
I'VE don't object to physical valua-
ton of our property Santa Fe man
will say, for we know it is worth
every dollar for which it is capital
lied"
Then the Santa Fe man will submit
colonel Roosevelt as an expert witness
to show that the railroads of the coun-
try are not overcapitalized. He will
quote from Colonel Roosevelt's Cincin-
natl speech in which the statement is
made that the railroad property of the
United States is worth it's capitalize
ton.
Then, as if to clinch the argument
the Santa Fe Harmony orator will
put Senator Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa on the witness stand. In a speech

Senator Cummins lately made the
statement that he would not be willing
to make present physical valuation

Mr.. Reeder came to Beloit from Hi

OLD SORES
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The infamma-
ton, discharge, disco1ored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is c1eansed
of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and p1asmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals
Old Sores in a perfectly natural way.
It goes into the blood, removes the
impurities and morbid matters, adds
nourishing qualities to this vital
fluid, and brings about the very con-
