MICHIGAN WINS.
Defeats Stanford Unirerslty by
" Score of 49 to 0.
" Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 2. By the decis
ive score of 49 to 0, the Michigan uni
verslty football team defeated Stanford
university Wednesday afternoon. The
acore Is quite In proportion to the gen
eral superiority of the eastern men at
the game of football. It does not, how
ever, tell the story of Stanford's des
Derate, but futile efforts against defeat.
Michigan's superior knowledge of the
game showed in every play. At kick
Ing, general team work, running, tack
ling and bucking the line, the Micni
Kan men excelled. Perhaps the strong
est feature of their playing was the
phenomenal nuntinsr by Sweeley, Mich
igan's right end. In every exchange of
punts Stanford lost ground, which could
not be regained.
In the first half Stanford showed well
for the first twenty minutes, forcing
Michigan's line for small gains and
holding her opponents when they went
against her. Gradually the Michigan
boys forced the ball down the field for
steady gains through center and around
the left end.
By a series of brilliant plays that
never failed to score a gain, and by the
most superb team work ever shown on
a football field in California, Michigan
took the ball to Stanford's 20-yard line.
Here the Californians took a deter
mined stand, encouraged by the shouts
of their partisans and withstood the
. terrible batterings of their line un
til they secured the ball on
downs , and , then began a sys
tematic and determined assault on
Michigan's Invulnerable line. Stanford
tried every trick known to their men
to advance, but were finally forced to
resort to punting.
Again Michigan hammered the line for
.et-ady gains. Clark, 3tnford'.s left
end, was disabled in a fierce scrimmage
ornl urnQ fiTilafart Hit l'roi;tnn Mirhl.
gan's star full back, Snow, scored the
first touchdown and Shorts kicked goal.
Three times In the first half Michigan
succeeded In sending a man over the
.line, but once failing to add a goal, ine
.first half ended with the score: Michi
gan. 17: Stanford. 0.
The second half was an exhibition of
fast football. Michigan went at their
opponents with all the knowledge of
the game and the weight of their play
ers. They hit Stanford's line in the
middle and went around the ends. The V
advanced ten, fifteen and twenty yards
on a play, on fake passes, fake kicks
and every other known football device.
In fact, so fast and fierce was their
play that Stanford was bewildered and
knew not how to stop the encroachment
fornians held the conquerors for downs,
but the arrested ' progress of the Ann
Arbor men was extremely brief. Again
and again Snow for Michigan went
over the line for touchdowns and Shorts
kicked goal until 49 points had been
scored.
For Michigan the brightest star in her
ranks was Snow at full back, though
he scarcely eclipsed Swooley and Bern
stein. Traeger for Stanford played a
brilliant game, his tackling being one
of the features.
The day was perfect, though possibly
a trifle warm for football. The field
upon which the teans met was as
smooth as a floor, but very dusty. The
crowd, the largest that ever attended
an athletic event In Southern California,
numbered about seven thousand. It
presented all the animation and much
more color than the average football
crowd.
Kansas City Shoot.
Kansas City, Jan. 2. The final shoot
for the wingshot championship of Kan
sas City for 1901 was determined at Bob
Elliott's Blue River Shooting park, just
east of the Blue river, on the Inde
pendence Kleetric line Wednesday af
ternoon. There were 17 local shooters
eligible to competition for the trophy,
and the winner turned up in W. W.
Herman, who killed 24 out of 25 In the
main shoot, and won out In the shoot
eft by killing 12 more straight.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Btbup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fie Sybup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining- the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting1
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening- laxa
tive, cleansing- the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fi Stbpp
Co. only. 1 In order to get its beneficial

Brief Review of the Leaders In
Yarious Sports.
Crescens and Little Boy Stars
of the Trotting World.
AMONG THE RUNNERS.
Robert VVaddell Entitled to Palm
For Best Work.
On the Gridiron, With Golfers
and Yachtsmen.
Chicago, Jan. 2. The Tribune briefly
summarizes the stars of the sporting
events of the year as follows:
AMONG THE GOLFERS.
Although western golfers failed to
capture any of the national champion
ships they made their prowess felt in
all of them. In the amateur, open, and
women's events the runner up in each
case was a western player.
At the amateur championships at
Atlantic City Walter Kgan of the On
wentsia club and William Holabird, Jr.,
of the Glenview club both gave the
eastern players a sample of the golf
that will in the near future bring the
premier honors of the game back to this
section of the country. The quality of
the play shown by the western contest
ants will undoubtedly result in one of
the big events of next year coming
west.
The introduction of the rubber filled
ball and the wonderful improvement in
the play has been one of the features
of the year.
RECORDS IN BOWLING.
As was the case in 1900, Chicago
bowlers can again lay claim to the
premier honors of the year Just clos
ing. Starting with the greatest bowl
ing tourna.nent of its kind ever held,
they captured the five-men team cham
pionship and the individual champion
ship. Following this tournament came
the Illinois state tournament.which was
conducted in a manner which reflected
great credit on the local leagues.
The wonderful growth of the game
and the phenomenal performances re
corded during the last four months of
the year have caused even the opti
mists to wonder. At the present time
there are fully fifty leagues in opera
tion, while it is calculated that fully
30.000 players patronize the local alleys.
Up to dati no less than forty-three
scores of over 1,000 have been made in
local league com petitions, a record that
has never been approached by any city
in the world.
AMERICA'S YACHT FASTER.
Sir Thomas Lipton's crushing defeat
in his second attempt to lift the Amer
ica cup was easily the feature of the
yachting year. Invader's victory over
Cadillac, the defending American yacht.
ranking next in importance.
When the syndicate yacht Constitu
tion failed In the- minds of the cup com
mittee to show superiority over the old
defender, Columbia, which beat Sham
rock I. in 1S99, while Lipton's new boat.
Shamrock II., was accounted many sec
onds faster than the former challenger,
it seemed that Lipton's golden oppor
tunity had arrived. Three successive
defeats under such circumstances would
have discouraged any sportsman less
game than Sir Thomas Lipton, who still
maintains his intention of building a
third yacht to lift the coveted cup.
TROTTING AND PACING.
Creseeus and Little Boy were easily the
stars of the year in the trotting world,
both breaking records- in their respective
classes. Creseeus was the first to as
tonish the world when he broke the trot
ting record twice in one week, first set
ting a mark at 2:02i for the mile at
Cleveland, and again lowering it at Co
lumbus to 2:024. Little Boy broke the
mile pacing record to wagon three- times,
his respective marks being 2:02, 2:01, and
Z-MV. C. K. G. Billings drove him in the
last attempt. George West, who died in
Chicago on January 24. was one of the
leading harness horsemen of the country.
WITH THE RUNNERS.
W. C. Whitney's victory in the English
Derby with Volodyovski and the appar
ent revulsion of feeling against American
jockeys and trainers, in marked contrast
to the honors of 1900, was the feature of
racing abroad this year.
In America there was no horse of the
year like Kinly Mack in 1100. Alcedo,
winner of the Suburban, and Conrov. the
first 3-year-old t win the Brooklyn Hand
icap, were far from invincible at other
times. Among the 3-year-olds Robert
WaddeU is entitled to the palm for actual
work performed, although he was raced
stale and ended the season bv breaking
down in a cheap race at-Lakeside. Term
inus. Commando, water Color and The
Parader, until he was killed, deserve
mention among the 3-yar-olds. Garry
Herrman, winter book favorite for the
Derby, who "bled" in preparatory work.
was the disappointment of the season af
ter his wonderful 2-year-old form.
Among the 2-year-olds supremacy was
never fully determined. Endurance bv
Right, bought by Mr. Whitney, seemed
able to hold up the honor of the west
asrainst Yankee. Blue Girl. Nasturtium.
Goldsmith, or any of the eastern craoks.
and her right to be called better than
Abe Frank was not clear. McChesnev
and Sir Oliver were late comers among
western stars.
ON THE GRIDIRON.
Football continued to e-row in nonularitv
throughout the country, although inter
est in the west was somewhat decreased
by the failure of either Chicago or North
western to turn out an eleven eapanie
f winning a place in the first rank. The
season was one of constant surprises and
culminated in the overwhelming defeat
of Yale by Harvard on the Saturday be
fore Thanksgiving day. This gave the
crimson an undisputed claim to the
gridiron championship. In the west Wis
consin and Michigan were in a class by
themselves and both claimed the leader
ship, but as the two teams did not meet
no definite opinion could be formed of
their relative strengtn.
PREEDMAN AFTER BURKETT.
New Yorker Tries to Tempt Crack
Fielder From American League.
Boston. Mass.. Jan. 2. Secretary
Knowles of the New York club ias solic
ited Jesse Burkett to maruige. captain
and play with New York next season,
with a big salary. This is Freedman's
slap at Ban Johnson for sticking to A. G.
Spalding in the presidential fight of the
National league.
Just what the money proposition was
neither Burkett nor Knowles would give
out. But that New York would like to
gather in Burkett there is no doubt.
Knowles made Jesse an offer that nearly
took the latter's breath away for a mo
ment. It is understood It wa9 made on
a two year basis.
The offer would have been considerably
better than S10.009, for that is the size of
Burkett's contract with the St. Louis
American league team. Jesse will not say
what he will do. It is believed Jesse will
remain with Ban Johnson.

wise than by fighting.
ORESCETJS WAS SPEEDY.
Makes Wonderful Fast Mile Over the
Dallas Track.
Dallas, Tex.. Jan. 2. George H. Ketch
am, owner of Creseeus, drove his trot
ting king a mile in 2:0714, on the Dallas
track Wednesday afternoon.' The last
quarter was trotted in 29 seconds.
When the performance was finished Mr.
Ketcham saiu: "That Is the fastest mile
by 13 seconds ever traveled by a har
ness horse on the first of January at
any place or at any time in the world's
history."
The event of the day was a benefit
tendered by Mr. Ketcham to the asso
ciation having charge of the National
Confederate reunion, to be held In Dal
las in April next. The gate receipts were
donated to the reunion fund. The at
tendance exceeded 5,000 persons.
Mr. Ketcham will take Creseeus to

January 11; Austin, January 18; Mont
gomery, Ala., January 22; Birmingham,

tion to remain ten days, and go from
there to Toledo.
DECISION FOR BERNSTEIN.
Lively Fifteen Round Boxing Contest
With Tommy White.
St.- Louis, Jan. 2. Joe Bernstein of
New York was awarded the decision
over Tommy White of Chicago by
Referee Stewart New Year's day at the
end of fifteen rounds of fighting, before
the West End club. The decision. In the
opinion of many at the ringside, was
an injustice to the Chicago Iboxer.
White landed repeatedly with left Jabs
throughout the fight. In the early
rounds Bernstein attempted to rush, but
left counters, beautifully timed, stop
ped him. In every round White landed
repeatedly with his left on Bernstein's
face. Bernstein would rally near the
end of each round, and for about thirty
seconds would rush and rough matters,
doing, however, little or no damage to
White. The men fought at 126 pounds.

KANSAS NEWS.
Wellington Gets a Splendid New
Year's Gift.
Mayor Hunter Supplies Mains
With Pure Water.
AT I11S OWN EXPENSE.
From Well Connecting With
Underground Stream.
Has Been Tested to 100,000
Gallons Dally Capacity.
Practically Suites a "Drouth
Problem" For the City.
r
Wellington, Jan. 2. George H. Hunter,
mayor of the city and owner of the Hun
ter Milling company interests, has pre
pared a. surprise for the citizens of Wel
lington which will meet with hearty ap
proval from all. He is to supply the
water mains with water from the sup
posed underground stream and all at his
own expense. The water is to come from
a well Mr. Hunter has bored north of the
mill on Jefferson avenue. The well Is
36 feet deep and has nearly 20 feet of wa.
ter. It is supposed to connect, with the
underground stream and has been tested
to 100,000 gallons a day. The mayor has
a. three-plunger purrtp at the well which
can pump 60,000 a day and with which
he proposes to put the water in the mains.
The pump will be operated by an electric
motor wnicn win in turn oe suppnea
from the mill. Kverything is in readiness
for the test, the council having given
consent to have the city water turned off
ana ine mains supplied witn water ironi
the Hunter well.
"If we can pump 60.000 gallons day and
night," said the mayor today, "we can
make some showing. I think. If this well
will supply 60,000 gallons a day other
wells will give as much each, and if that
is possible, why, there is no doubt as to
Wellington's future water supply."
It was some davs ago that the mayor
decided to give the city the benefit of
his experiments. He kept it to himself
but went quietly about getting the con
sent of the councilmen, which was read
ily given. He took the step because of
the city's slowness in trying to get water
to the surface.
Mr. Hunter has spent nearly $1,000 In
this work, yet he gives the city the ben
efit of it for nothing. It's his New Year's
gift to the citizens.
GIVEN SEVERE PUNISHMENI.
Plotting Convicts Compelled to Daily
Stand in One Position.
Leavenworth, Jan. 2. Solitary con
finement to stand at the door of their
cells during working hours with one
hour's intermission at noon for a light
meal, to continue until such time as
they will tell how and where they ob
tained a file last Saturday, is the pun
ishment meted out to Mullins and
Baze, two convicts at the United States
penitentiary.
Before being sent to their cells they
were thoroughly searched, as was their
cells, to find any other contraband ar
ticles, but the file was the only article
discovered. Befora being placed in cells
to stand with their faces at the bars
Warden McClaughry told them they
should remain there and undergo that
punishment until they sent for him and
told the entire truth. This will be car
ried out even though it takes a. month,
or more, to subdue the stubborn pris
oners. So far they have shown no signs of
weakening, nor has a 'single request
gone from them to the wsrrden. It is
believed, however, that they will give in
and make a clean breast of it soon, as
but few men can undergo the severe
physical strain of standing in one posi
tion for an entire day, let alme & series
of such days.

The Injured were all taken to Mercer-
dale for treatment as quickly as the re
lief train from Cumberland could get
them there. .
The train which was ditched was th
through passenger bound for New
York. It was a full vestlbuled train.
In going down the steep grade one and
one-half miles west of Glencoe, the en
gine from some cause as yet unexplain
ed, jumped the track at the curve and
the entiie train piled on top of it. Pro
bably the onlv thine that prevented an
appalling death list was the fact that
the heavy vestibule cars did not break
up In going over the embankment.
The work of rescue had to be done
quickly, because the gas tanks in the
cars were exploded and set fire to the
wreckage. The flames spread rapidly
and In a short time the entire train
was burned. The engine was complete
ly demolished and the two dead men,
when taken from the debris, were hor
ribly mangled. Collins (who went by
the nickname of "Katy'Owaa one of the
oldest engineers on the road.
As soon after the accident as possible
a relief with physicians and nurses was
sent to the scene from Cumberland, and
the injured were soon after taken to

is being paid to them.
General Superintendent Woodford
says he has been unable as yet to as
certain the cause of the accident.

es, but this is his crowning achieve
ment. The company numbers 20 people
and some of them are among the best
known members of the dramatic profes
sion. While there is an .interesting story,
cleverly told, in the comedy "A Wise
Member" that comes to the Crawford
Friday night, the entertainment does
not depend on the plot of the play alone
to carry it to success. There is an
abundance of good songs, of impersona
tions, and bits of character acting that
give variety as well as comicality to
the performance. The piece is clean
In construction and k situation, and
sparkles with spontaneous humor. Miss
Laura Evans, a Topeka actress, takes a
prominent part in the comedy.
The Lumbermen' quartette, which is
one of the features with Thall & Ken
nedy's production of "Jon Yonson,"
which will be seen at the Crawford Sat
urday matinee and night, will be heard
in all the latest up-to-date songs. There
will also be a number of other special

Doan's Kidney Fills
Ask Topeka people They know
They're been cured Hundreds of them
After years of suffering Made well and strong No more
bad backs No more backaches No more urinary troubles
Here's one Topeka man's experiece : .
Mr. Oeo. Howard, of 341 Shawnee Ave., sayst "I had rheumatism
and kidney complaint more or less for ten years. The pain in my
back and limbs was so severe that I oould hardly walk up town. I
was fcreatad by the best physioians, but they could do nothing for me
and I spaas lots of money for other remedies but without obtaining
relief. In addition to the backache there was a difficulty with the
kidney secrations which was distressing and annoying especially
nights. When I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised I procured a box
at Rowley & Snow's drug store and gave them a fair trial. The first
box did me . so much good that I procured a seoond, then a third. I
felt better after taking the treatment than I had before for years.
The pain in my back disappeared and the kidney difficulty was re
at all drug stores. 50c a box, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
