BIG FOOTBALL
GAME FRIDAY
A. and N. Farmers and Trinity Uni
versIty VIII Play on Kyle Field.

The Texas Aggles face the second
game OF the present intercollegiate
season Friday afternoon. when Trim.
ity University OF Waxahachle, comes
TO College for a game. Last Saturday
the Trinity team met the University
bunch and were whipped sonndly.
Much Improvement has been made
since that time, however and Coach
Werner says that his men, free from
the stage fright of the first big game,
win give the farmers a fight for their
money.
The A. and NJ warriors are showing
steady Improvement. Ever since the
game Of last Friday wher the Aggles
whipped the Austin College team by
the score of 32 to 0, Coach Moran has
been putting them through merciless
routine Of training. Weakness in
handling the ball has resulted in much
training on receiving the sphere.
The game will be called at ISIS p,
m. The contest Friday promises "a
be one OF the seasons prettiest bat

tredNOf Germany was so great that
Bismark feared him and paid a great
deal of serious attention to him.
One year before Alexander ii was
assassinated. in 1880, Skobeleff at
tempted to put through his plan of or
ganizing troops among these half
wild men. He we'll knew the terrible
part they would play in an invasion OF
Germany. Alexander II, however.
objected to the plan and II fell
through.
Alexander III formed an Alliance
with France, and IL looked as though
Skobeleff's plan might be adopted. Il
had attracted attention In high diplo-
matte circles. But about this time a
young German actress, whom Skob-
cleft was paying attention TO. poisoned
linn in a hotel in Moscow. Il was be-
lieved she was in the pay of the Ger

scheme finally worked out, as recent
events show.
An incident, humorous and yet grav-
ly significant, occurred on the occa-
sion of the Kaisers visit to st. Peters
burg before the Russian All
ance. Several Cossack troops were
drawn up for inspection by the Kaiser.
AS he viewed them he was attracted by
a beautiful sword carried by a Co.'S
sack officer. MAY I see it?" he in
quired. 81 knew that the swords of
the Cossacks are excellent. Is il an
heirloom?"
Eyes, your Majesty" replied the Of
ficer 1T is very old one"
The Kaiser took the sword and read
the engraving on It. Then, with a
smile, he returned the sword. The en-
craving was:

LONDON, Sept 25.--(By mail 10 New

the heart of an Austrian or German
these days, say "CossaclI.7 The very
word seems to hold a horror for the
Kaiser's men and also for Francis Jo-
seph's troops
Remembering their exploits against
Napoleon and their wild warfare during
the revolt Of Hungary, Austrians and
Germans shudder when they think OF
the -Cossocks invading their countries.
The CossocKs cruelty during the Rus
sian revolution is well known and their
operations in China in 1900 we're criti-
cised not only by all the world outside
Russian but by Russians themselves.
In the Russo-Japanese war the Cos.
socks did not live up TO their reputa-
tiOns. The reason was clear enough
as they are marauders by origin. Their
reason for being in warfare is to en-
rich themselves by il.
The Cossock's social position in Rus
STA makes them so. Originally the Cos
socks were formed from bandits to
protect the frontiers during wars with
Turkey and Poland. And later when
Russia started her long march towards
the east and linked mp with the Ma
hometan races of Central Asia, a COS
sock "Voisko7 was formed also close
to the new Asiatic frontier of the Rus
sian empire.
The Cossocks cost Russia nothing
The empire endowed them with special
privileges for which in return at a
certain age and under special conditions
they have to give military service.
The total Cossock population now is
about 100000 of which, 100000 arc
women. The Cossocks own about l46,-

is obligatory for all men for twenty

Expert To Fix r. r. Valuation.

House Bill No. 317. refused
first reading and place in the
calendar proves to contain more merit
than at first understood. and it is like
ly 10 be made a vital issue in the near
future. The bill authorizes the gov
ernor, attorney general and chairman
OF the state railroad commission to
appoint an engineer and expert ac-
countant to assist in taking the ply
steal valuation of railroads in Ken
lucky in conjunction with the inter
state commerce commission.
Chairman Laurence Finn has just
brought the bill to the attention Of
Gov. McCreSry. There is no one con
nected with the railroad commission
who has either the time or the knowl-
edge TO do this work" said Chairman
Finn. The physical valuation of rail
roads made by the interstate com
merce commission will be the future
basis for rate making and taxation,
and possibly the basis for the purchase
of the companies property by the gov
eminent, If such a purchase is under
taken by the national government.
The valuation placed on railroad prop
erty in Kentucky in the matter Of
freight rates and taxation means mil
lions of dollars to the commonwealth
and TO the people for all time to come.

rial importance than that the valua-
ton is rightly made
Gov. McCrcary asked Mr.. Finn TO
put his argument in writing. and he
may become sponsor for the bill.
