CONDOLENCES
 CAUSE IF. FIRE

A chain of unfortunate circum- stances resulted in the total destruc tion yesterday morning at 1915 o'clock of the residence of H. E. Groom at 1409 East Mckinley street.
 MT. Groom was doing some painting about the premises which necessitated his passing through the front room of the dwelling. While doing so he tripped or a rug and spilled quantity of inflame.ble material directly in front of the fireplace in which a fire was burning. The stuff caught fire and be- gan to blaze in an instant. Groom rushed out of the room to get a hose with which to extinguish the flames but minimizing, slammed the door on which there was a night latch. In possession of the hose he tried to force an entrance into the room but was un- able to do so and had to run around the house and enter by the rear door. By this time the flames had gained so much headway that it was impossible for him to combat them successfully. A fire alarm was turned in and sev- eral pieces of apparatus responded Arriving at the scene of the fire the department was unable to render any assistance because the house was out side the city limits and the hose was of insufficient length to reach the fire from the nearest fire plug.
 The lower story of the house was oi | brick, which is the only part whicf now remains standing. The total loss amounts to probably S5,000, quantity of furniture having been destroyed along with the house. MT. Groom is
 well known local real estate dealer.

 CONFERENCE. ENDS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 30.-The Mis- souri valley football season closed yes terday with nearly all the teams run ming true to form. Nebraska had al- ready won a clear title to the valley championship by her defeat of Kansas and Missouri.
 The big conference game was the annual Missouri Kansas classic. Ne braska played her first game with an eastern team with considerable credit, only the failure to kick goal from a touchdown bringing her defeat, 10 to g, at the hands of the Syracuse eleven. Missouri showed a little more strength than in any other game of the season but was outclassed by her an- cient rival after the first five minutes
 The Oklahoma Aggies who had not been expected to show much strength held Oklahoma scoreless. 4llinois romped through the Camp Funston | line at Fort Riley. Drake took the same sort of beating she had suffered in nearly every game of the season Ames winning, 47 to C. Washington
 held St. Louis university to 13 points | but was unable to score herself. The Kansas Aggies won their game from | Washburn with ease.
 Arkansas took a beating at the | hands of Texas to the south of the
