WAsHBURN TO CHOOSE CAPTAIN.
Nearly All Old Men VIII Be Back
Next Season

The Wasfburn football team will meet
again next Friday evening to elect a
captain for the season of 1872 At the
same time. the players who have earn
ed them will be awarded their football
letters by the athletic board of the col
1ege
The closing of the season turns atten-
ton to the outlook for next season and
it is found that only two players have
played their three years on the team.
These are Captain Burkhart and Ernest
Titus, who has played tackle or guard
in almost every game during his mem
bership on The team. Merl Palmer, cen
ter this season for his first year, is
also a senior, but he is eligible for fur
Their service and may take some post
graduate work next season.
TomlinSon, Mcintyre, Mcintosh, Neil
Rogers, Lowe, Dean Rogers. Johnston,
Bishop, Smiley, McNeish Franklin
Cham berlain, Crumbine will all be
eligible again next season and plan to
be in college. Besides there is in the
freshmen ranks, Pearson and Bearg
two backfleld men who ought to take
places with ease. There also is Tro-
bert, whose kicking, both in punting
and drop kicking is superior to any seen
on the varsity this year. Then there
is Beggs, a stocky lineman, whom Coach
Driver was heard to say was the best
on the field this season, although he
was only a freshman and ineligible
All these freshmen have been trained
along the. same lines as the varsity and
the substitutes this year, and Driver
expects to work wonders with the squad
he will have next year.

EXIT THE BAD BOY
1t Is Claimed That Physical De-
fects Cause His Downfall.
Teachers VIII Learn to Detect
These Bodily Ills.
BULLETIN GIVES HINTS
One Has Been Issued for Bene-
fit Of Teachers.
Superintendent Charles Gives
Interesting Information.

1t has been found through years of
J experience at the Boys Industrial
| school that physical defects which in
| many instances could be avoided. have
a great deal to do with making it nee
essary to send boys to the institution.
A bulletin has been issued as a result
which is being sent to teachers
throughout the state to aid them in
the discovery of the defects through
Intelligent observation and interpreta-
The study of the physical condition
of children is something that is inter
esting school people all over the coun-
try at the present, and the publication
of the bulletin is timely.
"It has been a fact we'll known to
those who have to deal with backward,
truant and delinquent children that
certain physical defects play no small
part in producing these classes said
superintendent H. W. Charles, in
speaking of the bulletins ''Notwith-
standing this, few attempts have been
made to discover these defects in child
rem and to supply remedies in time to
prevent their evil effects.
Held Interesting Clinics.
1.-THE physical condition of boys com
mitted to the Industrial School has
been carefully studied for wears and
during the past two years weekly elm
les have been held at the school by the
department of the eye ear, nose and
under the direction of DR.. H. L. Allxire
and many operations have been per
formed giving imm ediate relief to
many of these durable ills. The infor-
nation gained by these Investigations
convinced me that these ills could be
removed early in life and the long
train of evils avoided if an intelligent
diagnosis could be made.
Not many parents realize the ex-
istence of these evils and fewer still
recognize the Importance of bringing
relief. The teachers in our public
schools especially in the ungraded
schools, are young and inexperienced
and while they have some knowledge
of the anatomy and of the functions of
the eye, ear, nose and throat their
knowledge relates to the organ in its
normal condition and not in disease
AS a result of this very little attention
has been given to these defects of
young children in the home or in the
public schools.

Twelve Revolvers and Dynamite
Found at LeaYenWOrth.

Stone Walls.
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Door Of One of Guard Houses
Broken Down.
Prisoners Had Been Acting in a
Surly Manner.

Leavenworth, Kan. Dec. 2.-TwelVe
loaded revolvers and two sticks Of
dynamite were found hidden within
the walls of the United States peni-
Tertiary here, and with the discov-
cry a gigantic plot to deliver large
number of prisoners was nipped-
The discovery was made at 2 O'Clock
In the afternoon by Walter p BeItz,
a guard, who was making a tour OF
inspection about the prison yards. He
found the plant" hidden in a piece
of battered stove pipe, wrapped in a
newspaper, and lying near the north
wall
The weapons and dynamite had evil

rope, from the outside, but by whom

Gals. The discovery was not entirely
unexpected by the warden and other
officers of the penitentiary
Two nights ago, the door to one OF
the guard boxes, just outside the
prison, had been kicked in. From
that point it would have been COM
parative1y easy for any one to drop a
package over the wall by means of a
rope. The finding of the broken-in
door gave the officials hint that
something was about TO break ana
their vigilance was redoubled- The
discovery of the dynamite and revol-
vers rewarded their efforts.
For several days many of the pris-
oners acted in a. surly manner; some
even refusing TO 90 certain WOAh
which they were ordered to perform.
In the last previous mutiny in 1901,
twenty-six prisoners escaped and one
guard and several convicts were Killed
A searching investigation was begun
today by officials of the federal peni-
tertiary here to determine what pris-
oners were implicated in the daring
plan for prison delivery fOiled yester-
day, when q guard discovered a joint
of stove pipe, containing dozen
loaded revolvers and four sticks of dy-
Mantle inside the walls.

Chicago, Dec. 2-Charles w. Murphy,
president of the Chicago National League
club, is preparing to stir up a lively time
at the league meeting in New York next
week. Reports reached Chicago yester-

future might give out for publication any
thing in connection with executive

" in favor Of the open door policy and
decidedly opposed to any move tending
toward gum shoe methods and secret
gatherings.

vention with invitation to old timers, new

may have the opportunity of making sug-

Grover has overruled both the mo-

at the August term of court in favor
OF the plaintiff, Miss Alice Bowes-
The case in the past two years in

sion settles it as far as the district
court is concerned.
In making his decision, however, the
Judge cut down the amount of dam

awarded to Miss Bovyes to $500. The
defense claimed that as the amount,

ST. Joseph News-Press: There is q
report going the rounds of the West

Knapp is the only member of last
years umpiring staff who has job in
sight in this league for 1912. Rumor
says that Jack Haskell and the rest
of the arbiters were decorated with
the hardware when the magnates met
at Chicago several weeks ago. 1t is
not easy TO believe that Tip O'Nein
would separate Jack Haskell from his
berth as chief of umpires on a mo-
ment's notice. AS for the rest of
them, it would not be surprising to
hear the report verified.
