EMMETT I ALTON'S ARM BETTER, Surgeons Still Waiting Mr. Ctiap pelles Endorsement. - Emmett Dalton's arm is somewhat better and has Improved considerably since he gave up his work as night clerk at the Copeland hotel, but it is still far from well. He has not recov ered its use and -it Is still likely that a second operation will be necessary. His parole does not expire until No vember 6, so that there Is still a month for the arm to get well. Dalton regretted very much that he was compelled to give up his work at the Copeland as he enjoyed the ex- Ileacl of Colonization Society . Says They Can't Advance Here. .Denver, Col., Oct. 3. J. N. Walker, president of the Colorado African Colonization society delivered an ad dress on "The Race Problem and Its Solution" at the Central Presbyterian church here last evening by invitation of the pastor. Rev. Dr. R. F. Coyle. Mr. Walker contends that race antag onism is becoming more and more pronounced but instead of deploring It, he believes it is beneficial, because It tends to keep the races apart. Race separation, he thinks, is essential for the blacks as well as for the 'whites, because only by that means can the African race develop along the lines which nature Intended. So long as the blacks remain in this country, he says, they will be subject to the whites. Conditions are steadily growing worse for them, and as a whole their moral condition is lower than It was in the days of slavery. Walker contends that education and the acquisition of property have failed to elevate his race or improve its con dition in relation to the whites. Thirty-six years ago 10 per cent of the blacks were educated and In the ag gregate they paid taxes on $1,000,000. Yet the condition of the race is worse now than it was then. At that time the blacks had two United States sen ators, eight representatives in con gress and a number of state officials. They have none of these now. There were no lynchings then, no jim crow cars and no disfranchisement even in the south. The only way of escape from a condition which is rapidly be coming worse Is by emigration to Liberia, where a black republic can be built up. Many blacks would like to go but owing to high steamship rates and their own lack of means they are compelled to remain here. The situation calls for congressional aid; and steamship companies should see in this desire for emigration an opportunity to build up a large trVfic and at the same time promote trade between the west coast of Africa and the United States.

The team which Is representing the high school this season looks much more promising than any aggregation which the high school has had for some time. Captain James McFarland, who led the team 1 last season. Is captain again and is hopeful of the outlook from a high school standpoint. He. will play fullback this season, in which position he plays an unusually good game for a high school player. In fact last season his work at the fullback position caused several college managers to turn their longing eyes to his work. This year is his last year on the high school team, as he has seen three years of football already. He is In his last year at the school. . . - Two old men of last season's team will appear at the half back position again this season. Schmidt and Willard, who are both big men, were fast last sea son and will be much better this year. There are also several other players -who will make available substitutes for the team. Walworth, one of the stars of last season's basketball team is prac ticing with the squad and is making a favorable showing. Wilcox, who is one of the high school's track men is also showing up well. He is very fast in carrying the ball. B. Willard is also trying for quarter and is making a fa vorable impression. For quarterback the best candidate Is undoubtedly Hell who played the same position last season. Hell is small in build but is one of the best quarterback players on a high school team in this section of the country. He is good, in the kicking department of the game, throws the forward pass with accuracy and in open field running la without a peer on the local team. Wilcox also shows up well at that position and will probably make, the position of substitute quarter. Two of last season's ends will be back. S. Swearlngen who played end in several of the games and Cowgill who wag one of the best high school ends In the state last year will be back. R. Swearlngen, Godard and Royce are candidates for ends and all show up well. Holmes Is the only one of last sea son's tackles who will be back. He is an aggressive line man and will make one of the strongest line men on the team. Merle Cain "-who was the star tackle of the team of last season has gone to Kansas university where he Is playing on the freshman team this sea son. His place will be -taken by Towne who played on the team of three years ago but who has been out of school for a couple of years. . . Four guards AhlBtrbm.: Carle and Ruth are trying out. The trio are all new men. Carle and Ruth, however, having seen service on the '.basketball team are peculiarly adapted ' to the work. - " . ? For center Kuehne seems to have the place cinched. He played guard Ilast year and Is - the only -contestant for the position In the center of the line. perience of being able to do something for himself. James Chappelle, propri etor of the hotel, also was loth to let him go. "I have never," said Mr. Chappelle, "had a man in mv employ who showed such a capacity to master details. He was careful and absolutely trustworthy. He was placed in entire charge of the hotel at night and he met every pos sible requirement. I am so well satis fied With his work that I would Jump at the chance of re-employing him If I were given the opportunity. I am sat isfied that Dalton Is a man to be trust ed and will make a first-class citizen.'" KUROK! MEETS TAFT. He Kntertalns the Party While Stop ping at Kyoto. Kobe, Japan, Oct. 3.

Beekley of Springfield Has Fatal Accident at Atchison. There are several things to say in fa vor of the' Barnum & Bailey circus: 1 It was the largest circus of the season, or of several seasons. The horses were all In good condition, and there was plenty of them. No one has reported being robbed by pickpockets or short-changed by circus employes; the seats were good, the acts were good, and last, but by no means least, one of the leading lights of the show was smart enough to an nounce the evening "concert" without interruption. . Among the features on the bill of fare are the"death defying, dangerous.daring etc" death loop in an automobile. This stunt is not so much, and is a triumph of gravity and machinery. It is not a feat which a weak-nerved person would care to undertake, but it requires no skill on the part of the rider. It should not be featured above the experts In riding, acrobatics and- other things re quiring skill and practice. The clowns were not above the aver age, and some of them featured the comedy stunt Invented by the late and lamented Judy Plamondln, that plat ter of dishes on top of a ballanced pole. The clown who played the baseball game was not the orginal "Silvers." The Barnum & Bailey circus may al ways feel that it was trimmed by the excessive city license of oJU. The Desi the show wagons could do was to de stroy pavement estimated at about ?lz5. This destruction was the fault of the city, and not of the circus. The city allowed the gas company to lay pipes and mains and shovel the dirt in on top thereof, without tamping. As a result even a light wagon will cut through and cause a depression in brick pavement when it strikes one or the sink noies, Heavy wagons with a circus are a ne cessity, not a luxury, and when the pavements are faulty, dire results may be expected, xney are an equipped with unusually wide tires. Topeka avenue, the route of the circus in loading on the Rook island, contains about the weakest pavement in the city. This avenue was cut to pieces by the gas company, from one end to the other. Over a year ago a circus cut large chunks out of To peka avenue, and the city ordered the gas company to repair the damage. The gas company "repaired" In a de sultory way, by smoothing down the holes made by the circus, but doing very little to strengthen the base un der the ' brick. On part of Topeka avenue the gas main runs along the west side, and the piping to houses on the east side leaves trenches across the avenue. None Of the Barnum & Bailey wagons had to be lifted out or holes with Jack-screws, as were the circus wagons a year ago, Dut it was oy rea son of careful driving on the part qf the circus men. Between Fifteenth and Thirteenth ' the r pavement was badlv "sprained" In several places Be tween Twelfth and Tenth, where a gas main is laid on the. east side, or right side going north, the level of the pavement was seriously disturbed, aU though it did not cut clear through. This part of the pavement was al ready in bad condition, the spot over the gas main sinking to a level below the gutter, and thereby changing the gutter from next the curb to several ttnt out In the street. ' The greatest damage done by the circus was at Fifteenth street and Kansas avenue, where the circus crossed in the morning, (by order of the chief of police and street com missioner). Here the wagons cut the Kansas avenue pavement into chunks and samples. It is estlmatea tnai iuu worth of damage was done in one rod. Tha n-hppls sank to a depth of 18 inches, raising the bricks on either side to a like distance. It shows shockingly careless and faulty pave ment construction. . SAYRE STARTS ORPHANS' HOME.
