First Scrimmage Practice Held
Tuesday-Game Saturday.

Football interest at Washburn is
increasing daily. Men of known abil-
ity continue to report for practice ana
men, who are strangers to the rams
are beginning to show form. To the
few who have seen the squad at work,
everything appears to be highly salts
factory.
The greatest need of the team is at
guard and center Guards of the de-
sired strength have not reported for
practice up to the present time ana
there doesn't appear to be any others
in sight who will remedy this feature
Center is another weak place on the
team but the remainder of the line
and the back field are all that could
be desired. 1t is believed that these
weaknesses will be overcome by the
increased speed that has been shown
in the early practice.
The first scrimmage practice of the
season was held Tuesday afternoon.
Coach Gray gave out signals Mon
day afternoon and kept two squads
busy at running them for more than
an hour He has not made an effort
to pick a varsity squad, but in scrfm-
mage and running signals, he divided
the SQUADS without respect as to the
varsity team. He has been busy in
studying the ability of all the players.

count of his unfamiliarity with condi-

urday afternoon. This will give him
better chance to pick his men for
the game with Nebraska which will
be played next week.
Among the candidates who will be
picked to face Nebraska are Wolf at
end, who was on the freshman team
last year; Trobert at quarter or end,
who was one of last years 'etter
men; Bearg at half. who is another
letter man of 1912; Hardy at half,
who was on the varsity team in 1911:
Billings at end, who was a sub last
year but was given a letter for his
work; Rodgers at full or on the line,
who was a member of the 1912 team
and captain this season; Bae1s at half.

appears to be one of the most prom
Using candidates on the field.
1t was feared for a time that Bearg
would not join the team this season.
He reported last week but turned in
of personal difficulties but this has
been overcome and he is back with
the squad for the remainder of the
season. Bearg will probably play at
half. Art Hardy appears toe be the
other most likely candidate.
Irish McNeish, who has been
holding out, has finally enrolled in the
law school and reported for practice.
This caused the Washburn stock to
take another jump. He was a sub at
week. there is but little doubt but
that he will be picked as the regular
man this season.
Among the other men are Ray

at half, Tom Forbes, George
Myers and Jean ViEepigue at fu1lback.

New York Stock Market.

Wall St, New York. Sept. 24-STOCKS-
Bear operators had the upper hand in the
stock market today, basing their attacks
largely on reports of unfavorable condi-
tons in the Steel and Copper industry
The break in Copper met aboard was fol-
lowed by rumors of price reductions in
the domestic market, which, however. met
with denial. The possible effect of the
new tariff schedule on the Steel trade
was made the basis of bearish predictions
and new business was said to be falling
off despite price concessions.
Bear selling became more aggressive
when it became evident that the decline
was not bringing out supporting orders.
Union Pacific was depressed points and
numerous other shares from L to 2.
Bonds were irregular.
Stocks were offered freely at the opening
of the market today and little resistance
was offered to the selling movement,
prices declining in all quarters Of the list.
Copper shares were again heavy and

PrOvident Association Finds a
Family Tangle.
Woman With Five Children
Divorced Her Husband.
SHE MARRIED HIS BROTHER
Then First Husband Reformed
and Repented.
But Between Both of Them
Woman Destitute in Topeka.

Having been deprived of his title OF
husband through legal action he is now
Just plain "brother''-and at that he
swears he will remain true to the wo-
man who divorced him. But thereon
hangs a tale.
The Provident Association has dealt
with an unusual case this week. A
woman with five children asked for
aid, and she was given money with
which to return to husband No. at
Denver.
Two years ago she was divorced from
her husband on the grounds of deser-
tion and drunkenness. She wrote to
the mans brother and told him of her
plight. Out of sympathy for her the
brother came to the town in which she
was living. got a job, and helped sup
port the children. The woman finally
married the man who had thus inter-
ested himself in her. But in the mean
time husband No. l reformed complete
iy and began sending money for the
support of the children. The woman
began a correspondence with him and
now writes regularly twice a week; she
calls him brother"
The woman in the case and husband
NO. decided recently that they would
like to try their lot in Topeka The
funds were low SO the mother and chill
dren came to Topeka expecting nus
saved up sufficient money.
Husband No. was not heard from
for ten days and as the mother and
children in Topeka had no money they
were compelled to call upon the Prov
ident association for assistance. In
the meantime the woman wrote to
Brother to send money At the end
of ten days husband No. was heard
from. He had lost his job and had
been busy finding employment.

and Charles n. Bacon, county COM
woman and children should return to
Denver. Consequently they shared
the cost of railroad ticket.
Miss Vose said today: 4
I'VE do not want any more people
here who are likely to be dependent
upon the citizens this winter. A good
many persons have come to Topeka
recently expecting to stay here this
winter and take a chance of finding
work. There is no more than enough
now: in fact there is demand for work
at the present time on the part of
those who are out of employment. We
have been sending these people back
to the places from which they came.

that they would be bettered by going
elsewhere. The county and the Provi-
dent association have been sharing
the expense. There seems to be more

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-WHEAT-Trader
who believed that after a five day decline
the market today would make decided
rally, met with disappointment, there
was slight show of Strength early but
the effect soon wore off and prices took a
sharp down turn. The heavy Canadian
movement and Liverpool reports of free
Russian offers had a discouraging in
fluence on the bulls. The Opening was
shade to lower to &c advance and was
followed by a little gain all around Then
the market underwent a rapid descent.
Subsequently the market hardened ow-
ing to purchases by prominent houses but
weakness again returned when support
Slackened. The close was nervous, 1sG14c
to A6asc net lower.
CORN-Although Illinois husking re-
turns and predictions regarding receipts
here favored the bulls, corn gave way
with wheat Prices started unchanged to
1sc off, made fractional gain, and then
sasged to a material extent below last
nights level.
Later prices recovered in consequence
of buying the part of the bull leaders,
but the rally failed at last The close
was unsettled nc to 1z@5sc under last
night.
OATS-Trading formed merely an echo
of the corn market. Commission business,
however, was active and well distributed.
PROVISIONS-Provisio flattened out
with corn and hogs. First sales were 21ac
to SC down and the sag was afterward ex-
tended.

PERFORATES HIMSELF.
After Many Attempts Farmer Fires
Gun With Disastrous Results.

ST. Louis. Sept. 24.-With a bullet
wound extending entirely through his
abdomen in which strips of antiseptic
gauze are inserted al the front and
pulled out at the back, Milton Keith, a.
fifty-year-old farmer of Wellsville..
Mo-, is at a sanitarium here recovering
from most peculiar injuries suffered in
an equally strange accident. On Aug
ust 26, while cleaning rife, Keith ac-
cidentally clogged the barrel with q
rag. To dislodge this he put a bullet
into the gun and pulled the trigger.
The lead lodged against the rag. He
fired another bullet but this was
stopped by the first. He then put
large charge of powder into the gun.
thinking that when he fired another
bullet it would ignite the powder and
blow all three bullets out of the gun.
For the third time he pulled the trig-
ger. but nothing came out.
Forgetting the powder Keith tried to
melt the bullets by heating the gun.
There was a muffled report and the
third bullet passed through his body. At
the sanitarium to which he was rushed
il was said the bullet tore between
nerves and arteries without severing
any of them.
The case is without parallel in the
opinion of scores of local and out-of-
town physicians, who have come here
TO investigate the case. Keith says he
has never suffered pain from the in
jury and is making preparations to re-
turn to his home within a few days.

vigil of Matthias Kingsda1. an Iowa
farmer, who for two weeks has
watched in the vicinity of the ILL
nois Central station for the return of
the man who sold him the Logan

war general and was discussing with
a gang of workmen the best way to
take it down when a park police
man came on the scene. Kingsdal
went to Pennsylvania for few weeks

most important contest for today is
Yale-W eSleyan game. Even the Wes-
leyan hackers regard it as almost GER
tain that the Blue will win by a sub
stantial margin but there is some of
the Midd1etOwn men who say they will
be able to score on old Eli. The score
of the Yale-Wesleyan game last year
was 10 to in favor of the Blue. The
work of one Yale man in particular
was watched with interest today. He
is Wilson, the new quarterback, who
is heralded as a find and declared in
some quarters as almost certain te
get the regular berth held by Nat E.
Wheeler, who piloted the Blue in last
years Harvard game.
Cornell did not play Ursinus last
year but does not expect hard battle
today as was experienced in the open
ing game with Washington and JEFF
ferson last year when the latter team
held the IthacanS even with the ex-
ception of a field goal.
The Carlisle Indians will play their
second game of the season today with
Lebanon Valley as their opponent.
Carlisle opened its season against AL
bright last Saturday.

nile Cases Out of Court.

ST. Louis, Sept 24.-Chief of Police
Dung today issued an order directing
district police captains to act as
neighborhood juvenile judges. They
will settle out of court cases against
boys and girls that are brought be-
fore them by patrolmen. This innova-
ton was ordered by the chief of police
on the recommendation of Hugh Full
lerton, chief probation officer. Mr..
Fullerton came to the conclusion that
too many boys and girls are arraigned
in the juvenile court.
Some of the children he said,
feel disgraced because they have
been before the juvenile court. Their
playmates taunt them as though they
had been in jail. / have known of in
stances IN which a family had to move
to another neighborhood to get away
from this persecution of the children.
On the other hand some boys boast of
having been ~.s before the juvenile
court
Under the new plan the police cap
tains will be expected to talk seriously
to offending boys but not to send them
to the juvenile court. unless necessary
for their effective correction.
