TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY ETEXIXG, OCTOBER 15, 1900. 2 PORTING NEWS. Fort Eiley Soldiers Easy Tictims For Washburn. ?kelr line Crumbles Before On slaughts of the Blue. A RIDICULOUS SCORE. IVashharn Had SO, Soldiers O at the Close. National Baseball League Sea son Closed Sunday. Ia three games Washburn has piled up a score of 115 with not a point scored against her. Saturday the largest score on record in Washburn football history M as piled up against the Ft. Riley team. STiie end was SO to 0. The soldiers do not understand the game. They played with a certain amount of determination but to no pur pose. But once did Washburn give up the ball on downs. The soldiers took the hick off and within two minutes after the bail went spinning through the air the Washburn team had crossed the tieid and the ball had been planted be hind the line lor a touch down. Lieut. Lou. a West Pointer, is the coach of the team. He stood on the side lines -and paw the Washburn men go through his Team like a four pounder going through a row of toothpicks and he felt discour aged. It did not seem right. He hunted up Manager Huron and said: "Do you tall this football?" "Doesn't look much like it, does it?" eaid Huron. "'No, no. . The Washburn players hold ,my men. it is not fair. No one but the ' man with, the ball can be held. When unfair tactics are used it ceases to be football." The lieutenant was very much rattled but by the time Washburn had piled up ; a score of 30 to the soldiers nothing he smiled. When the score had gotten up .around 50 he was in a good humor once ,-snore and decided his team knew very ,'3ittle about football. By the time the final score of 80 was made he knew that "his. team could not expect to put up a good appearance against Washburn and 4ie was jolly and laughed and everything was- lovely. For Washburn it was a good practice same. The first half ended with the core 40 to 0 and In the second half Skin ner and Reed replaced Roberts and Moore at halves. "Stub" Clark took Stewart's place at end. The new halves showed that they could carry the ball in good shape. Everybody had a chance to do something. Clark at guard and (White each carried the ball. The sold :iers had two men who played a stub lorn game, Feathers and Homer. Both seemed to understand the game and 'were in the play at every point. They itackled well, ran well and played by far 'tne best game for the soldiers. Washburn leaves next week for Col orado to meet the Denver Athletic club nd the University of Boulder. Negotia tions are pending for games at Salt .Lake and Ogden and if they can be ar langed the Washburn team will try the Alormons. The lineup of Saturday's game was as follows: The line up of Saturday's game was as follows: . ! Ft. Riiey Washburn.

Football has progressed, sufficiently in he different football sections of the country to form a reasonably clear esti mate of the strength of the various teams and their possibilities. At present the "Big Four" eastern teams probably rank as follows: Tale, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard. This is their present rating, though there is no telling what a week will show in the way of progression and retrogres sion, so that the order may be reversed before any of the big games come off. The eastern situation is peculiar in that critics ranked these teams at the close of last season in almost the reverse or der from that here given, viz.: Harvard, Princeton. Yale and Pennsylvania. The condition that now prevails in the ast shows that Tale and Princeton are determined to retrieve themselves for their ill success on the gridiron in the last few years. It shows also that Princeton will hardly be able to recover from the loss of the half-dozen etars that graduated last year. In the case of Harvard it shows a more serious condi tion of affairs. It is true that Harvard lost heavily by graduation last spring, and also that the crimson hospital list is unusually heavy, but these facts do not explain the poor showing at Cam bridge. Those that have seen the Har vard practice say that the trouble lies in the spirit of the Harvard players. Harvard's success of the last two sea Bons seems to have slightly turned the heads of the football candidates. They are said to be suffering from the im pression that a championship team will come to Harvard without any great fi mount of self-denial or grueling prac tice on their part. If this impression prevails to the end of the season. Har vard will have learned an expensive les son. Yal Is strong, first of all, because there is a wealth of the very best pos sible material at Yale, something that lias not been the case for several sea eons. There are thirty odd players in the Yale squad, which does not include the. members of the third and fourth elevens, and the scrubs of this squad ase about as strong as the regulars. Tale has powerful men for every posi tion, its rush line averaging 185 pounds and the backs 175 pounds. Then, too, Yale is having the best of coaching this year, under the leadership of that past master at the business, Mike Murphy. The team is full of the old Yale spirit, which, when it was most flagrant, never k;iew defeat, and. probably the most im portant of all, Yale is fighting for lost prestige. Yale has shown signs of won derful strength this fall, and if that team can equal expectations. Harvard and Princeton will both go down before the men from New Haven. The' conditions at Pennsylvania are similar to those at ale. Better mate rial is at Pennsylvania than ever be fore and the material will be coached better, as George Woodruff will not be pneroafhed on in his work this year as he was last. Ther was schism in the ranks of the Quakers last year, and it had a most serious result. The fact that Pennsylvania will have something in the way of an attack this year besides the old tandem play, which has almost fallen into disrepute, argues well for the success of "Pennsy." Pennsylvania knows that unless its team makes a more creditable showing than last year, the team will be dropped from the list of the "big four," and this knowledge will spur the Quakers to heroic effort. They are now picked to defeat Harvard. The redeeming feature at Princeton is the spirit shown, and this alone may yet result in a formidable Tiger eleven tak ing the field against Yale. By reason of this spirit the condition at Princeton is not as serious as at Harvard. Prince ton's team probably will be light in com parison with the other big teams of the east. It will be as heavy, however, as some championship teams have been, and if the team work of the men can be brought up to the requisite degree, the Tigers will not lack for backers when their team faces Yale. While the condition of affairs at Har vard is not encouraging, there is enough of time, men and coaehers to correct all faults, provided the players get down to work. INDIANS GET A SCALP. This Time State Normals Are Their Victims. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 15. The game between Haskell and the Kansas nor mal, which was played on the Haskell gridiron Saturday afternoon was a very interesting and clean contest. Haskell won, 18 to 0. The Indians outplayed the normal men at every point of the game, but the Emporia men fought to the last and showed a great improvement, since their other game with the Indians-Coach Ellick has taught the Indians to play to gether and their team work is tine. Their men are not heavy, but they play fast and their backs are still strictly first class men. The Indians bucked the nor mal line or skirted ends for gains often, but the normals never let them get clear away. Dugan played the star game for Haskell, but Payer and Perry deserve much credit. For Emporia, Caldwell, a colored man, showed wonderful coolness in punting and made fair gains. Turkle son and Peterson also did good work. The Indians made their first touchdown after a few minutes of very fast play. The game was free of wrangling and only lasted about two hours. Dugan kicked off and Emporia failed to gain their distance, the ball going to Has kell. Haskell was held on the first two plays, but Walker started it off with ten yards through the line and Payer soon made 15 yards and touchdown. Haskell missed goal. Miguel advanced Caldwell's kickoff 2o yards, but Haskell was held and forced to punt. The normals made short gains but lost the ball on a for ward pass. Haskell was soon forced to punt again. Turkleson made 35 yards around Haskell's left end and was down by Miguel on the Indians' 15 yard line. Emporia lost five yards and tried a field goal, but missed. Haskell kicked from the 25 yard line. The ball went to Has kell on down and they only lost it once more before Payer made the second touchdown. Goal was missed again. Em poria kicked off for the second half and after several good gains Haskell was held for downs. Haskell advanced stead ily down the field for their third touch down. Dugan kicked an easy goal. Em poria had the ball two times more, but could not gain. Perry made a 25 yard run, getting away from three men. Pay er and Miguel hit the line for good gains, but time was called before the Reds could score again. The lineup: Haskell.

At one time the champions seemed to have lost their grip and the Pirates came within an ace of overhauling them. For a couple of week the eyes of the whole baseball world were turned toward the east, but after a lively spurt Pittsburg quit, within sight of vic tory. Their slump was a disappointment to the west, as it was hoped that once a;:ain a western club would succeed in carrying off the bunting.

A BAD TRUST FOUND. Got. Roosevelt Writes Open Letter About the Ice Trust. Spring Station, Ky Oct 15 Governor Roosevelt has given out an open letter to Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, in re sponse to the following from Mr. Dick inson: "Detroit, Mich., Oct. 11. "My Dear Sir Testerday and today Mr. Bryan is speaking in this state. The pro-Bryan paper publishes this morn ing, among other things, the following report of his utterances: "He talked about the trust in every town he spoke. In six of these towns today the question was fired at Bryan by Republicans who asked him to ex plain about the trust. He had an an swer that made the crowd guy the ques tioner every time. It was: 'There is a Republican governor and a Republican legislature in New Tork, and what have they done to throttle the ice trust? An swer me that. But then you know the Republican governor of New Tork has not time to bother with the ice trust, for he is too busy out here telling you about it.' " "The same charge was made by Mr. Bryan at length in Nebraska and all the press of the country had your an swer to it, given, I think, in a speech in the same state. Every reader of the papers, too, knows of your action as governor in respect to the ice trust, and I am under the impression also that you recommended the legislation under which such a trust might be reached in New Tork.' Tour friend, "DON M. DICKINSON. "Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Terre Haute, ' Ind." Governor Roosevelt's reply, dated Ev ansville, Ind., October 12, follows: "Hon. Don M. Dickinson, Detroit, Mich.: "My Dear Sir I thank you very much for your letter of the 11th inst. When Bryan talks as in the quotation con tained in your letter he simply says what he either knows or ought to know to be without the slightest foundation in fact. He made a similar statement in Nebraska. I then answered him and asked him in return whether he would pay the obligations of the government in gold or in silver, if elected. He never answered my question, but, as my state ment was printed broadcast, he must have, seen it, and. therefore he must know that there is no warrant in fact for the statement as to the ice trust. "In my message to the New Tork leg islature I recommended certain action about trusts. The legislature did not act along the lines I suggested, but it did pass a very stringent anti-trust bill, introduced by a Democrat, and I signed it. The attorney general is now proceed ing against the ice- trust under this bill. Mr. Croker and his fellow stockholders in the ice trust, through their attorneys, are fighting us on technical legal points through every stage of the proceedings. "Now. as I said, Mr. Bryan knows all this from my previous answer. He knows perfectly well that I cannot 'sup press the ice trust' in any manner save by due process of law, and that the at torney general is proceeding against it under the law and Is being hampered by the delays inevitable in attacking a corporation well defended by able law yers, retained, as is natural, when the corporation contains stockholders as wealthy as Mr. Croker and his associ ates. Mr. Bryan knows that where the attorney general is undertaking these proceedings I have absolutely nothing to do with them. He therefore knows that I have taken every step that can be pos sibly taken in the matter. Under these circumstances it is unnecessary for me to comment upon his continual repeti tion of a statement which he must know has not the slightest foundation in fact. "Whether the ice trust can legally be dissolved is a question which must be settled by the courts, and similarly it is a question to be decided in accordance with the law whether or not any of the Tammany leaders who hold stock in it are amenable under the law. The trust itself is certainly one that can be said to be a bad trust, dealing as it does in an article of necessity for the poor of New Tork. I have no doubt, however, that most of the stockholders have in vested in it simply as they would invest in any other corporation. The striking point is that among the heaviest of these investors appear the Tammany Bryan ite leaders who, in conjunction with Mr. Bryan, are loudest in denouncing trusts. Hypocrisy could be carried not farther than it has been carried by these men and their defenders. In the Tammany state convention in New Tork they ac tually denounced the ice trust in their political capacity, while in their private capacity they were stockholders in it, and through their counsel were doing everything to prevent its dissolution by the attorney general. Mr. Bryan is now going to New Tork to be the political guest of Mr. Croker, the ice trust ben eficiary. He is going there to try to help Mr. Croker get control of the state of New Tork and bring it down to the level of infamy to which the Tammany gov ernment has reduced the city of New Tork. Again it came to me that this needs no further comment than is im plied in the statement of the facts. With hearty thanks for your kindness, I am faithfully yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." MINERS IN THEIR WORKING . KANSASjlEVS. . Leavenworth Miners' Strike is Settled at Last. New Scale Fixed hy Board of Arbitration. WILL BE PAID 84 CENTS The Former Price Was 76 Cents Per Ton. Many Millers Have Left Since the Strike. Leavenworth, Oct. 15. After being hi conference all of Saturday afternoon and evening, the board of arbitration con sisting of E. J. Duncan and James Cor dray for the miners and E. W. Snyder for the combine with O. B. Taylor, a dis interested party who acted as arbi trator, it was agreed between the par ties that the men would receive 84 cents per ton, mine run, for mining the coal, and work but eight hours. The company submitted a proposi tion which was the same in substance as the ones they offered at the several conferences 76 cents, while the men demanded 90 cents and eight hours. The question of recognizing the or ganization was not considered, it be ing sufficient evidence that this was done, as there would never have been a conference had not the same been recognized, and the fact that Duncan and Ccrdray represented the miners was sufficient. ej Last year when the scale was signed the men were paid 76 cents a ton and coal was selling at $1.25. Now coal is selling for $3.25 while the miners are to receive S4 cents. At the present time the Riverside mine is the only one that is in a condi tion to resume operation, and it started up this morning. The engines in the Home mine have been taken out for re pairs and it will be a week before it will be ready to hoist coal. The north shaft will not be in condition for many weeks, as the hoisting apparatus is be ing repaired and new top work being done. Since the strike began at least one hundred and seventy-five men have left the city for work in other places and there are not more than a suffi cient number of men left to work the one mine that is ready to resume oper ations, but by the time the Home mine is in shape the majority of men who have gone from the city will return here as they have families. A man was in Leavenworth from New Mexico trying to induce miners to go to a mining city in that place, but he did not succeed in persuading many of them to accompany him, as they prefer to work here where their families are.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are good because they do good because they cure. Testimonials simply prove that the tablets have helped other people, but it's yourself you are most interested in, and whether they will cure you is the ques tion. It is very easy to find out try them. A full package costs but fifty cents at your druggist's. They are worth that if they only help you a little bit. The chance is worth taking at the price. We put it on that basis because you don't know about the tablets. If you knew as much about them as we do you would have complete confidence; this advertising would be unnecessary. We have seen them cure the worst cases of stomach trouble. Cases of long standing and obstinancy, cases that other medi cines and even high priced doctors had failed to subdue. Here are some testimonials. If you care to read them we have thousands of them: Rev. J. R. Hoag, of Wymore, Ne braska, writes: For six years I have been troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall I became very much alarmed at some symptoms of heart trouble and came to believe there was a sympathetic relation between the two diseases, or rather, that the stomach trouble was the cause of the heart disturbance. I hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a remedy and in vested a dollar and a half for three boxes which lasted me three months and I can eat any kind of food I want and have a good vigorous appetite. Although I am seventy-seven years old, I now feel per fectly well and without being requested by anyone I make this statement as a compliment to the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Mrs. Lydia Bartram, of Assyria, Mich., writes: I bave suffered from stomach trouble for ten years and five different doctors gave me only tem porary relief. A Mr. E. R. Page advised me to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did me more permanent ben efit than all the doctors' medicines that I have ever taken. We honestly believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best medicine ever made for the cure of stomach troubles. Don't mistake our meaning. We don't claim them to cure anything but dys pesia and stomachic disorders. Just the one thing is the cause the starting point of nearly all the sickness in the world. Cse Stuart's Tablets regularly. Keep your stomach right, and you can never be sick. Dr. Large, a wel-known physician of Iowa, is a member "of Potter hf Large, who carry on an extensive Drug business in Braddyville.

Formulating Evidence to Be Used Against Hath bone et al. New Tork. Oct. 15. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Since his return from the Investigation of the Cuban postal frauds, Fourth As sistant Postmiuster General Bristow has been engaged In formulating the evidence to be submitted by the department when those arrested are brought to trial. The record of every ofticia.1 from Kathbone do-wn has been gone Into, and the lives of all before they became associated wi h the Cuban postal system, have been In Vfstigated. lothhone and Neelfy will be vigorously prosecuted. It Is hoped they will be brouKht before a judge rather than a jury. The character of their alleged crime make them amenable to no set punishment, that being- left to the judgo or Jury under Cuban law. It is practically decided that former di rector Beneral shall be tried on four charges. The first sharse will be that through his negligence his subordinate! were enabled to cheat the government. The Cuban law makes F.athbone respon sible for every cent taken by Neeley and others. The second charire ia that Rath bone tooc ?1.0oo for which he never gave vouchers. The third charge deals with the per diem allowances made to him by tl.e postmaster general. The fourth charge deals with his extravagant expenditure of the government funds.
