SHOWS GOOD RECORD.
Washburn Review Contains Interest
ing Football Figures.

The football edition of the Washburn
Review, just off the press, contains a
good deal of mighty interesting reading
to those interested in the work of the
Blue squad. 1t contains write-ups of
the season just closed from number of
angles and gives figures that are doubly
interesting, showing the work that WASH
burn has done in past years.
Among other things is a record of all
games played with the scores of Wash
burn and opponents for the last % years.
The table shows that in that time Wash
burn has made a grand total of 1 1853 points
against a total of !. 254 made by opponents,
or more than zoo more than the opponents.
1t shows that 1908 was the banner year,
when Wasnburn took every game of the
season except one, that resulted in an
o to 0 tie, and only allowed points to
be made off her in the. whole season while
she made 1eS points all told.
The credit of this excellent issue is given
to Raw Yarnel, editor-in-chief. and Henry
O'Brien, athletic editor, and staff.

Orr action had not created enthuSi-

turned to Kansas with a sad heart.
He hunted up his old friends and COM

They were apparently as surprised as
Orr and declared by all the gods of

messages and were only too proud of

Orr Into Senatorial Fight.
1t was after the election was over

Orr never authorized statement on
the subject, never discussed the mat

took any active steps to land the job.
But one day Waggener is found max

son. 1t just happened, perhaps, that
this followed the rumor that Orr was
receptive senatorial candidate. Yet

But Bale Waggener Would Not
Be a Real Asset.
REEVES ORR WAGGENER FIGHT
Recalls Withdrawal of Orr in
Favor of Waggener
And the kilograms Sent to Orr
in Baltimore.

In the minds of the wise Kansas
politicians, there is but one thing that
seriously confronts James w. Orr of
Atchison in his race for the speaker
ship of the 1913 house. That one
source of trouble is the very myster-
rious and puzzling opposition of Sena-
tor Bale W. Waggener, who lives IN
Orr's home town. While the general
public was possibly a little slow 20
realize the fact, Waggener has for
several weeks caused woe and anguish
in the camp of the Orr followers And
in the fight is thrown Orr's senatorial
ambitions.
Wage ener is not making the Gus
tomary fight. He has not leased bill
boards nor purchased space in the
newspapers to tell his story In fact
you might spend two days with the
willy Atchison county senator and
never, never dream that he longs for
Orr's scalp. But the cunning old war
rior from Atchison is nevertheless
making much trouble for orr and
probably no one realizes the fact more
than Orr himself and the men who are
the most careful followers of the po-
litical game.
Away along last summer Orr and
Waggener disagreed. 1t was just a
modest little disagreement and from
all appearances was soon forgotten.

That Telegram to Orr.
Orr went to Baltimore to attend the
Democratic national convention. Be
fore leaving Kansas he had modestly
remarked that no blankety blank
Hutchinson convention could dictate as
to his vote and with words something
to that effect, he went to Maryland.
Some months before Orr and Wag-
gener had held a peace conference
Orr had let his friends know that he
desired to be promoted from the house
to the senate. 1t was agreed so far
as Orr's friends were concerned. Then
one day Waggener came home from
Rochester, where the surgeons had +
pronounced him cured. In Waggen-
er's breast was a longing to once more
return to the senate. 1t might be the
last time, he argued, and he told Orr
of his ambition and asked the younger
man to step aside. Orr agreed.
Then with that peace pact still fresh
in his mind, Orr went to Baltimore.
While there he received a number of
kilograms. Waggener's name was at

STATE COTTON
 SOLD BY BOARD
STAPLE BRINGS 16.40 CENTS, 190 BALES AMOUNTING TO
 OVER $15,0O0.

The penitentiary board yesterday sold l9O bales of cotton to Alexander Eccles X Co. of Little Rock, at the ex- ceptionally good price of 16.40 cents pound. The cotton has not yet been weighed and delivered, but this batch alone will bring the penitentiary between Sl5,000 and $l6,0O0, and the board will sell 200 bales next Tues day, and probably about 200 tons of cottonseed.
 The cotton sold yesterday was the ordinary one-inch and three-sixteenth Black Rattler" variety, but the peni- tentiary board has about 10 bales of long staple cotton on hand. There will be 75 or 100 bales of the long sta pie cotton, and this will be held until 1t is all picked and ready to sell It is thought this cotton will bring from 22 to 50 cents per pound.-Gazette

WILL PAY FOR NO
 MORE BACON RINDS

Little Rock, Oct 18.-For many years the people of Arkansas have gone right along paying for bacon rind at the same price as the streaked meat, but the cost of living is to be reduced that much in the future, the luXury-loving automobilist being the direct cause of this removal of so slight burden from the down-trod- den pork consumer.
 To skin a hog was an unheard- of thing in Arkansas until this year, but in the near future there will be no other method of dressing hogs, ac- cording to M. J. Seisel X Co.,, of this city. which concern purchases nine tenths of the hides in Arkansas. Within the past few months this con- cern purchased large number of hog skins, and has gone into the market for such large quantities that the butchers are finding it more profitable to skin their hogs than to sell the rind as good meat The demand for hog skins, which are as tough as the snout of the porker, for automobile tires, is growing so rapidly that the hog must work overtime in the future, supply ing hides for the market.

Little Rock, Oct. 1S.-The bond amendment has landed in the courts for adjudication, the issue having been raised by suit for mandamus brought by the city of Little Rock against the state board of election commissioners to compel them to cer- tify out the vote on that question.

Davis escaped in his night clothes and lost all his belongings.
 Samuel Meeks of Warren also had a narrow escape, although he manag. ed to throw his suitcase and clothing from the window before he swung from q ledge and dropped. His say ing his belongings, however, cost him a pair of badly burned hands. and he sprained his ankle in the drop from the window.
