Tie Five From Liberty Has Fast Record. Coach Millke Thinks Topeka Aggregation Is O. K. .-' The basketball season in Topeka will open Thursday night when the Washburn college team will meet Wil liam Jewell, the game being played at the skating rink. This on the face of the dope will be a good game for the "William Jewell team has made a good record thus far, not having lost a game on the home court. The William Jewell team is be ing coached by Alpha Brummage, who is well known in Kansas athletic circles. Brummage will be remem bered as the captain "and fullback of the Kansas university team in 1903. He was also a member of the K, U. Champion Johnson Will Now Have a Chance to Draw the Color Line on the ' "Has-Beens." basket ball team that year and has been connected with other athletic en terprises while at Kansas. Since then he has been coaching athletic teams of various kinds. Last season he was the physical director at Ottawa uni versity where he made good. The bas ket ball team was a success both fin ancially and from the standpoint of games won. The chances of having a good bas ket ball team at Washburn this sea son are bright. Hope and Brethour are the only men or last year a squaa remaining, but there Is a plethora of new material that bids fair to devel . op. Glenn Milliee who has played on the Topeka. high school, the Y. M. "C. A. teams and at Washburn has been coaching the Washburn team this sea son and has some good offensive team work developed although the team has had no. game as yet to get a good line of defense worked out. - The game will be called at 8 o'clock. The officials have not been selected, but will be arranged by that time. Glenn Millicc has secured a good schedule of games for Topeka this season, which includes among others the games with Baker university, K. V.. Nebraska and others. There will he a team from Denver university through this part of the country dur ing February and games may be scheduled with that school. The Den ver team is without a peer in the Rocky Mountain region. Several oth er games with minor colleges will be plaved here as well. Interest In basket ball at Washburn has never been very strong. This has been due primarily to the lack of fa cilities, as there is no court at Wash burn nor even a place for the men to work out. However, this difficulty will noon be removed, with the completion of the new Washburn gymnasium. This will be completed about the lat ter part of February and then the men can practice without coming down town. Then again the games can be lve Years of Heart Trouble Cured by Dr. Miles Heart Remedy "Before I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. I had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distress ing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a marked change in my condition. .When I had taken six bottles I was cured." MRS. C. C. GORKEY, Northfield, Va. If there is fluttering or palpi tation it is an indication of a weakness of the nerves and mus cles of the heart. It is not neces sarily diseased just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles' Heart Rem edy.

Poor attendance has always been one of the basket ball drawbacks at Washburn. The lineup of the game against William Jewell Thursday evening will probably be: Hope and Walworth, forwards; McCarroll, center. and Brethour and J. Stewart, guards. Bow man, Clark. Adams, Aten, and a num ber of others will be on the sidelines and may play portions of the game. Hope is captain of this season's team and is one of the best forwards in the Missouri Valley. Hope is a good free thrower as well. Walworth outside of not wanting to practice regularly is a good man for the other forward posi tion. He is a graduate. of the high school team where he was recognized as a star. At center Mcuarrou win have few equals, if any, in Kansas. Last season he played center on one of the high school teams of Philadel phia, and was the best interscholastic center in the Keystone state. Bretn- our at guard has had three years of experience in the game and his ability is well known. Jimmle btewart wno will play the other guard is an athlete who has been In the game for years. Jimmie is one of the standees of Washburn. As far back as the aver age citizen can remember Jimmie Ste wart has in some way or other been connected with Washburn athletics. He has never been known as a star in basket ball but those who have seen him work out dope him up pretty high. The game although the first game of the season will be worth seeing. and there will be plenty of sport for those who are true blue sportsmen. MAY QCTT THE GAJCE.

He made that announcement today after he received his contract for next year from Washington. Just what the contract contains that Ganley does not line, in addition to a Dig cut in salary. Ganley won't say, but it is unsatisfac tory from beginning to end, he de clares, "and unless they pass me up a better one, I'll quit baseball."

Now Public Confidence in Itoads Is Badly Shaken. VIEW OF JAMES J. HILL Says Attitude of People Must Change if Benefit Is to Come. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. There can be no permanent return to prosperity, in the opinion of James J. Hill of the Great Northern road, until there is a cessation of anti-railroad legislation and the antagonism manifested toward the roads by peo ple in all sections of the country. In a letter addressed to the board of trade of Hoboken, N. J., on this sub ject Mr. Hill says: The outlook for the future de pends chiefly upon the attitude of the people and the state or tne puoiic mind.c For considerably more man a. year past it nas Deeii uniiuomura manv of the railroads to secure enough funds for necessary extensions and Improvements. At the same time revenues have been reduced both by a falling off in traffic and by arbitrary reductions in freignt ana patseuB" rates. With decreasing incomes and heavily increasing expenses, railroads in general have not sucn commanu ui capital as would enable them eitner to share in prosperity, or, which is even more important, to assist in creating it, as they do unaer normtn conditions.

The requirements of their growth and the growth of the commu nities wnicn tney serve, mo .-ic. of wages and terminal expenses, and the constant need of new equipment and terminal facilities, called for large sums of money. , "This can be obtained only by the sale of securities: and there has been no market for these at iair pricra, notwithstanding the low capitalization of American railroads as cgmpareu with those of other countries. In this emergency several roads have been obliged to meet their necessities by the issue of short-time notes at high rates of interest. These unsatisfactory conditions must he changed before there can be a general return to pros- PC"Th"e country, in fact, is waiting to see what is to be the attitude of pub lic authorities, legislatures, commis sions and courts toward the railroad interest. It needs ana asKfs no uvma, it is entitled to fair play, and the capi tal employed In it to a reasonable pro fit When this appears certain, and public policies are framed according ly, not only transportation but all other industry will experience a real return of prosperity. . "The material welfare ' of the na tion will be promoted by every ex pression of determination on the part of individuals and associations repre senting great interests to secure that just treatment and that security with out which capital withdraws itself, every form of lndusry declines and all the people suffer loss." A XEW ITtKIGHT TARIFF. Wichita Receives Good Xews From the Orient Road. , Wichita, Kan., Jan. 19. The Orient railroad has made an important an nouncement to Wichita. Commencing February 15, that road will establish a new freight tariff, which will mean much to Wichita job bers. It will on that date extend its jobbers' rate to Sweetwater, Texas. Tiie Orient first had a rate to Chilli cothe. Texas, of $1.27 per hundred pounds first class, which it cut to 80 cents, with other rates in proportion. It maintained a scale based on this re duction until Sweetwater was reached. The old scale was the same as Missouri river rates. n lonerer could the long and short haul work after the Orient had built bevond Chillicothe. Texas, the distance he.iner too srreat. This new tariff, which becomes effective February 15. will give Wichita her natural rights m rates, and the same as a Kansas City DOGTORS MISTAKES Are said often to be buried six feet under f round.

A RATE WAR LIKELY. Expected to Follow Union Pacific's Kansas City. Denver Rate. Denver, Jan. 19. On account of the one-cent-a-mile rate for the round trip from Denver to Kansas City re cently put in by the Union Pacific, there is likely to be a rate war between western transcontinental - lines from the Misssourl river. The rate was au thorized without the proper notice hav ing been given competing lines through the Western Passenger association, con sequently other roads were not given an opportunity to get In on the low round trip rate, which was $12.80, less than the one way rate, which is $14.35. Railroad people in Denver do not dis guise the fact that the action of the Union Pacific will precipitate a general rate war between western roads. It Is also intimated that several of the lines anticipate withdrawing from the Western Passenger association. This possibility may have caused the Union Pacific to act first in granting the ex tremely low round trip rate to Kansas City. AVOMEX STOCKHOLDERS. Get Forty-Seven Per Cent of Pennsyl vania's Dividends. Nearly half of the $9,437,839 which the Pennsylvania railroad is distribut ing as the semiannual dividend on its $314,594,650 of capital stock will go to women, it appears from the stock list of the company. There are now 58,739 stockholders of the Pennsylvania rail road, whose average holdings are 107 shares. Of these about 28,000 or 47 per cent, are women, who, the figures show, own a total of over $148,000,000 of Pennsylvania stock. The November dividend last year was paid to 62,622 stockholders. The increase since then has been 6,117, or at the rate of 20 new stockholders in the Pennsylvania rail road for each business day of tne past twelve months. Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days.

"Mr. MacReynolds, had been in the state almost constantly for nearly three months, at times assisted by one or two other men from the east and bv a certain person from Ohio, and three or four people of our own state. "I naid no attention to tnem until recently when I learned that they were disappointed at not finding anything truthful to use against me, whereupon they becamo apparently desperate ana began offering large sums of money to persons to aid in manufacturing false statements. In several instances I am reliably advised they have used the expression: " 'We have the money and are will ing to give it to you if you will help "It is not Hearst alone, but there are other interested parties in the con spiracy and with the main purpose i injuring me they combined their ef forts ' ''I have nothing further to add ex cept that the arrest of Mr. MacRey nolds is only the begininng and other conspirators will have the same oppor tunity to square themselves wjth a jury of honest people."
