H. M. STANLEY AND THE DOGS
karasua Chief Points to Odd Resem-
biance Between Native CANNES
and Explorer.

From time immemorial carlcatur-
lists have made use of the common
observation that there is in certain
human types decided resemblance
to familiar animals. A notable ex-
ample was that of Louis Napoleon.
whose brooding. acquiline countenance
was readily converted into bird OF
prey; sometimes the French eagle,
but oftener and more strikingly
vulture proving upon France.
The dignified and venerable Charles
Darwin accepted an observation of
this sort as applied to himself ana
with humorous perceptio-. OF its CO.
Incidence with his fayorite theories,
while the resemblance between the
countenance Of Paul Kruger and that
Of an exceedingly sagacious gorilla
was more than once remarked.
An amusing discovery of unhuman
likeness was related by friend OF
the late Sir Henry NJ. Stanley. When
Stanley visited the Karaguas, an Afli
can tribe rather above the average in
intelligence, he had with him a fine
bulldog whose pugnacious counte-
nance possessed all the unlovely char
acteristics of the breed.
Now it appears that the Karaguas
gave much attention to this beast
and their chief, before parting with
the lite men, ingenuously pointed
out an odd fact that he had observed

Whether Stanley. who had every
right to think we'll of his own per-
sonal appearance, relished this COM
parison or not he could not do other
wise than take it in good part, and

SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Not Enough Cars to Haul Supply to
Chicago.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-Chicago is facing
serious coal famine, according to opin-
ions Of coal operators.
The supply coming to the city now is
said to be about equal to the demand.
Shortage of cars on the railroads is
held responsible for the present condi-
tions. The Indiana coal fields were
practically idle yesterday. though the
demand for coal is such that the mines
could all be worked to their full ca
pacity.
Indiana coal operators are coming
here tomorrow for a conference with
railroad officials to see if there is a
way of relieving the situation. Many
Of the mines in Illinois are not work
ing to their full capacity because there
is not a sufficient supply of cars to
haul the coal to the markets. On ac-
count of the strike in the Illinois coal
fields all summer, which kept the sup
ply down to actual demands, buyers
were unable to stock up their yards, as
has been the custom in past years.
"The situation is nothing short of
alarming" said T. J. O'Gara, head of
one of the largest producing coal con-
Germs in Illinois. We could turn out
more coal if we had the cars, and other
companies are in the same fix. 1 do
not believe there is weeks supply of
coal on hand in Chicago. and what will
happen if there is a sudden cold snap,
is more than I can tell

J. NJ Conneu. general passenger
agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, office in To-
peka, suggests that the testimony Civ
en- before the interstate commerce
commission in the rate hearing be
given careful consideration.
THE newspapers" he said, have
for several weeks used columns of
space in reporting testimony of rep
resentatives of various important rail-
roads in support of their appeal for
authority from the interstate COM
nerce commission to increase their
charges for transportation.
Il have been surprised at the ap-
parent indifference and skepticism
with which this evidence has been re-
ceived on the part of some citizens.
The statements of such men as Rip
ley of the Santa Fe, Nudge of the
Rock Island, Brown of the New York
Central. whose reputation for verac
fly. integrity and regard for the gen.
eral welfare is not questioned by those
who know them, seem to be viewed by
q number OF people with doubt and
suspicion. The public would do well
to consider the views of these men.
THE failure of our railroads to
earn a sufficient return to meet OBJ
legations and maintain and improve
the properties, would mean decreased
demand for labor and supplies, and
would inevitably result in thousands
of men being out of employment in
practically every industry. Then
would come trouble
1.-THE real estate agent would find
little demand for land. The banker
would learn that the wouId-be Dor
ROVER had insufficient collateral. The
retail dealer would discover a falling
off in sales, and the farmer would find
that the consumer could not afford to
pay the high price asked for his pro-
duce.
I'm other words there would be de-
preston and hard times. The picture
7 consider not overdrawn. But I be-
lieve that the people of Kansas are
willing to give the railroad a square
deal, and we feel that with this end
in view they are hearing and consid-
ering the railroad side of the case

and Duvall We're out of the game with
injuries. The failure of Hackney to
annex that little goal after touchdown,
which failure has lost many games,
remains as the real cause, however. If
the Missouri theory that AmeS is a
one man team, Vincent, fullback, then
Ames ought to be laid aside by Ne
braSka or Iowa. And yet Missouri
won the honors last season with a
fullback.
The Iowa team which has been go
ing good the past two weeks and which
defeated Purdue 6 to 0 last Saturday
has no game until November 5 when
they tackle Aggies at Ames. If Iowa
can overcome the doubt of dopesters
and stop the farmers attack, they will
muddle the Missouri valley honors, for
Nebraska is waiting for Ames count
ing on that game for decision. In
the valley the one team seldom has a
game with two of the others figuring
in the championship so that the pro-
cess of elimination becomes difficult.
The first line to be drawn on the
competing teams of the Rocky noun
tain conference will be available Satur-
day night after the Colorado university
and Utah university battle. Colorado
to date has had no hard games. Last
| Saturday the Silver and Gold came off
victorious at Larimie, Wyo.. defeating
the Wyoming team Ia to 3. Meanwhile
Colorado college won from Utah 81 to
II. The game between Colorado uni
versity and the college therefore will
be significant in doping the outcome
of the championship race. Since the
overwhelming defeat of Denver by Ne

the former champions of Colorado
will fall before either the university or
the college.

Announcement Is Made Today That
They Will Continue.

Athletics at the high school will be
continued. This is good news to ev-
cry student as we'll as the friends of
the school.

said Principal A. J. Stout, 'to give us
confidence that the rest will be taken.
This is the first year that athletics
have been run on a paying basis and
think the students should be con-
graduated. This is the sort OF enthu-
siasm that counts.

the football boys are all up in their
studies. They are required to come
up to certain standard before they
are allowed to hold places on the
team

yesterday" said Ward H. Green, di-
rector of athletics. land they made it
possible to continue the football
schedule. In some cases individual
firms bought five and ten dollars
worth of season tickets.
1.-The fact that it looked doubtful
Tuesday as to whether we would con-
tinue with our sports was the cause
of a number of students volunteering
to sell tickets and others purchasing
them. We have not got our full $500,
but we expect the students to get
right after things until we have on
hand that amount of cash.

RAIL INQUIRIES FOR WEST.
santa Fe Specified on 10000 Tons
New York Report.

New York, Oct. 27.-Several addi-
tional contracts for heavy section rails
have been placed by individual roads
and by construction companies in lots
of a few hundred tons each. There is
an inquiry in the market for $40 tons
for the Memphis Union station, and
several smaller lots in the central west.
The Norfolk G, Western railroad is ex-
Dected to close for Is, 900 tons and the
Chesapeake S5 Ohio for l o, 900 tons for
this years shipment. The Santa Fee
recently specified on 10000 tons sus-
pended contracts, and another road in
the west will probably release 10000
tons. AS yet none of the 1911 ton
nages which are being developed have
reached definite shape.
Indications are that total orders for
fabricated material placed during the
current month will be but little over
10000 tons, or practically the same as
they were in September, which was the
smallest month of the current year.
Most of the recent bids on railway
work are still pending, but the belief
IS steadily gaining ground that more
satisfactory orders will be placed by
railroads before the close of the year,
based upon Washington advices that
there is a tacit understanding that the
railway commission will permit the
transportation companies to obtain a
slight increase in freight rates, al
though public opinion is that no in
creases should be allowed because of
large revenues already.
