Inc Way E Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 C. !. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary So- ciety. thrawS ligLt ui,en lle workings of the native mind by quoting a re- markahlr letter ill which Il native uetnher of the katikiro'S iprime minis ter sI party gives description of the Uganda railway.
 My friend. l can tel you the Euro peanS have done Il marvellous thing tC make the railway ard the trains. They faSteD ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to Il fireplace which k aS big aS an elephant. and the road II goes on is as smooth as the stem of piahtain. It goes as fast as Il swal low flying. and everything you see out side fits past you like a spark from a fire. If 1t were to drop off one of the bridges not one in 1t would be saved for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills 1t passes are as high as those of Koki. and they have bridged over great val leys which are as deep as that you see y rembo. so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them."
 Later there follows q description of q ship: "It is as deep as our two sto. ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and 1t is as long as from the katikiros fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It has three tall poles in it and big throat, out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go down three stories, and the boards of these l cannot describe to you. for such have not been seen before. There is lot of metal work about them, too. but these also l cannot describe, for it is so fine. There are children on board and a flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where n chief sleeps. such as even our king has never possessed. d."-London Strand Magazine.

RAzORBACKS GO
 TO ST. LOUIS
Arkansas Boys Play Washington Uni. yersity Saturday, But Are in Badly Crippled Shape-First Road Game
 of the Season for Them.

Fayetteville, Nov. 3.-If hard prac- tice work counts for anything the Ra- zorbacks should overwhelm Washing ton University in their game at st. Louis Saturday. Coach Bezdek has been putting the team through some heartrending work all the week, hardly allowing the team a chance to catch it's breath after the game last Saturday.
 But the team goes to St. Louis greatly weakened by the loss of some of it's star men. Under the agree ment with Washington University first-year men are not allowed to contest and this eliminates some of the strongest men on the team, not ably May and Tunnah, the Little Rock boys, who have been proving themselves a bulwark of strength to the team.
 Two good men have taken their places, however and in the practice yesterday afternoon showed up as we'll as the two men whose places they are taking Blakely was plac- ed at right half instead of May, while Barton is taking Tunnah's place al guard.
 These two men received the partl- cular attention of Coach Bezdek 1n the practices yesterday afternoon. Hardly anything but scrimmage was indulged in, Barton being made the center of both the offensive and de- fensive attack. He showed up splen- didly and while a bit lighter than Tunnah was in the midst of every play. Blakely was used in nearly ey- cry play and by the finish of the scrimmage was playing in splendid form.
 The team hasn't any fears of the game Saturday. In fact, they feel extremely confident that they are go- ing to win. And they have really developed into a powerful machine through the constant practice Bezdek has put them through.

ACCUSES DIX OF
 INSINCERITIES

Alliance, O., Nov. 3.-Theodore Rooseevlt, en route to Chicago today gave out statement on the train il reply to the speech made by John A Dix, Democratic candidate for gover. nor of New York. in New York last night. MT. Roosevelt said:
 MT. Dix becomes exceedingly val orous at about the moment I leave the state I'll answer him when l get back. l call the attention of all wage-workers to the fact that having, in effect, defended the bakershop de- cision which forbade New York state to interfere to prevent workingmen laboring an excessive number of hours under unhygienic conditions, he now in effect, defends a decision declaring workingmen's compensation also unconstitutional.
 1t is, of course, mere nonsense for MT. Dix to assert that he is for the principle of limiting excessive hours of labor yhder unhealthful conditions or establishing the rights of the work spnan to be compensatea
 asethe L5ss of life or limb when working at their trades, for he is now explicitly upholding the judges who have decided against these prin- ciples and is condemning the more numerous judges who have taken the opposite view and have upheld the rights of the laboring man instead o1 adhering to outworn and purely tech nical legal doctrines which in the'r workings. do the working man cruel wrong and injustice.
