In August, 1887, the present publishers
bought the Kennebec Journal. The daily
circulation at that time was 1125 copies.

growth by removing any limitation and
boldly set a target which has since kept the
aim'higher and ever higher. The experiment

Many Kansas EIevenS Open
Schedules This Week.
IchabOds Will Play Freshmen
and Cooper College.

This week promises to be a big one
for the followers of football in Kansas
as most of the teams will open their
real schedules and will give the dope
sters their first cracks at the teams in
action.
The week promises to be a siren
uous one for the moleskin wearers at
Washburn and when the curtain falls
Saturday night Coach Gray expects to
be able to weed out the chat without
much further trouble. Tomorrow
afternoon the Icha bods will play their

New York. Sept. 27.-With less than
two weeks of the season remaining,
the pennant races in the major leagues
have assumed such shape that base

show the train schedules between
Philadelphia and Boston Alexander,
of the Philadelphia Nationals, and
Shore of the Boston Americans, al
ready have been tentatively assigned
by the prophetic writer's of the sport

for their respective teams
The Detroits canot win the Ameri-
can league pennant unless they win all
their remaining games while the Red
Sox are dropping seven out OF the ten
they have to play The mere citation
of these figures shows how slim is the
probability of an upset
PhiIIies Are Certain
The Philadelphians have only to
capture three of the nine games left
on their schedule in order To place
themselves in the leagues premier po-
sition at the seasons end Their
series with Boston and Brooklyn still
remain to be played. but Moran's men
have little reason now to be worried
about the outcome of these games
which might have decided the race
had the Quakers made poorer show

Supporters of the Phillies' chances are
counting on Chalmers to help out with
at least one victory, while Mayer and

one be created by the fall down of
either of the stellar selections.

confidence to offset the efforts of
such men as Speaker, Hooper and the

Baseball fans who place their con-
fidence in the Red Cox point to the
probability that Shore, Foster and
Leonard, the probable Boston starters
in the box, will be able to hold the
Philadelphia batsmen well in check. |
while their teammates are pulverizing
the delivery of the Quaker boxmen.
The Federal league race, near as it
is to close, is still an open one be-

will not seem strange to say that there
was a big turnout to Richards and

This minstrel show has been on the
road some twenty-five years and it
has not degenerated- 1t is like Uncle
Toms Cabin'-a good show for those
who like it The show, like all min
strel shows, was composed of a first
part and an o1io. The singing in the
first part was very good in some spots
and not so good in others The oIio
