V THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL THTJBSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1908; .TASKED ROBBER. Eaten Store of a Morehead Merchant at Night And t ReTolTr8 Point Secures Day Receipts. CAPTUKED ABOUT 5100 Political Meeting Going on In a 11 all Oterhead. The Crowd Adjourned But Fail ed to Find Thief. Charm te, Oct. 29. The Tribune says: While W. R. Cllne of Erie, the Demo cratic candidate for district Judge, was putting the peroration on the political address which he made in. More head last night, he met with an unusual in terruption. A man rushed Into the room, his face blanched with anger and his hair standing like tiuills on a fret ted porcupine with excitement. "I've been held up," he shouted "Come and help me catch the villain.' The victim of the holdup was Ed Lockhart, proprietor of the Co-operative store in Morehead. The store is on the first floor of the building in which the speaking was held and i' took place at a' time when there were W people or mora In the second story of the building. Mr. Lockhart had closed business for the day. but had not locked up, so that the robber had no trouble in effecting an entrance. Mr. Lockhart was check ing up the day's business, and making ready to put the receipts in the Iron safe, when, the front doo opened noiselessly and ha was interrupted by the command- "Hold up your hands, quick, and don't let me hear a yeep out of you." He looked up and there was a man standing In front of him, with a re volver leveled straight at his head. Tho man's face was hidden by a handker chief tied over his countenance. Ho took what money Mr. Lockhart had about $90 and left. As soon as lie was gone Mr. Lockhart went up stairs and gave the alarm. His appearance there caused consid erable excitement. There were women In the audience, and they became frightened, so Mr. Cline, who was Just concluding his speech, stopped right away, and the meeting closed. The man hurried down stairs, but could find no trace of the robber. The night was dark, and It had swallowed him up. The Robber Caught. Cherryvale. Kan., Oct. 29. Marshal Watson has arrested Floyd Raves. 18, charged with holding up Kd Lockhart at Morehead the previous night and robbing him of $90. Reves was paroled from the Hutchinson reformatory Au i gust It, having been sent up from Cherryvale two years ago for forging a check. Reves confessed. MILK FA M I XE TI1 R.EATEXETX Atchison Dairymen Are Worried Over High Price of Feed. Atchison, Kan., Oct. 29. There is a threatened milk famine lr -Atchison, and the canned variety Is likely to have an inning. It Is not impossible that .those fortunate people who- own a cow are on the road to- trtdepertdence and luxury. Mr. Adams, the milkman, who has one of the best dairies In the coun try near Atchison yesterday, had to skip 60 of his customers. It seems that feed being so high has caused many people to sell their cowa and the hot dry summer has ruined all the pasture, so that the above result is the outcome. Mr. Adams yesterday telephoned to St. Joe and could not get a drop of milk. Cows seem hard to get and the milk men are feeling pretty serious about their business. Mr. Adams has noti fied his customers that next time their milk tickets are out he can only giva them 12 quarts for one dollar. "I am giving customers preference where I know there are babies," he said, "the little ones must have milk and I try to serve these customers first." MASOXS AFTER A SHRIVE. Wichita Has Wanted and Waited a Long Time. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 29. A committee f several prominent Masons of this city will go to Kansas City this week for a conference which will determine whether or not Wichita Masons may have a Shrine. At the conference the Shrlners of BaUna and Leavenworth will be represented and on the com mittees of these two Shrines will de- A Lazy Liver t Hay be only a tired liver, cr a starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starred man because he lagged in his work. So In treating the lagging, torpid liver It la a great mistake to lash It with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly ypur liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of 'liver trouble" by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re stores the normal activity of the stomach. Increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system from pot sonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon It by the defection of other organs.

Perhaps only a part of the above symptoms will be present at one time and yet point to torpid liver or biliousness and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuits, griddle cakes and other Indigestible food and take the 'Golden Medical Discovery regularly and stick to Its use until yon are vigorous and strong.

For several years now the Wichita Masons have been trying to get per mission from the other Shrines of the state to establish one here. Every time the subject was broached to the Shrin ers of Salina or Leavenworth they scoffed at the idea. All efforts to have the claims of the Wichita Masons rec ognized by these Shrlners were una vailing. BCILDLVG A BIG DYKE. Three Hundred Men at Work Along the Missouri at Elwood. tw.. von rift v 9 The ravages of the Missouri river which have placed the town of Elwood In danger for several years, have been checked. Three hundred men are now engaged in building a dyke 4,000 feet long on the west side of the river along the east and north sides' of Elwood.

HOT BRILLIANT. Predictions of Alonzo St&gg in Regard to Chicago Eleven. Says the Squad Ik the Smallest Since 1901. LINE MATERIAL P00K. In Page the CniTersity Has a Splendid End. Cne of the Biggest Games Is Not. 14 With Cornell. (By Alonzo Stagg.) October 31 Minnesota. November 14 Cornell. November 21 Wisconsin at Madi son. Chicago, Oct. 29. Fpotball pros pects at the University of Chicago are not brilliant. The equad is the small est since 1901, and the quality of the line material Is the poorest since that year. At the close of the football sea son of 1907, seventeen" fneri were pre sented with the "C" Insignia. All but six of these have either-graduated or are Ineligible or have failed to return. Three of the remaining six "C" men played regularly on last year's team and three were substitutes. The names of these men are as foliows: Captain Steffen, 158 pounds, quar terback. Iddings, 158 pounds, halfback. Page, 150 pounds, end. The substitutes were: Hoffman, 180 pounds, tackle. Schomrner, 173 pounds, end. Worth wine, 165 pounds, guard. A valuable addition to this has ar rived In the person of Tom Kelly, 190 pounds, who played tackle on the 1906 team. Kelly was laid up with rheu matism last year, and was unable to return to college,- He has-still -some trouble with his "sciatica,"- but Is hopeful that It will not seriously bother him this season. In new ma terial Chicago is quite badly oft. The freshman class last year was the poor est in football material for a good many years, and to add to our discom fort a number of the freshman players have failed to qualify from a scholastic standpoint. We have two promising players in Rogers, 150 pounds, cap tain of the 1911 team, who will be useful either as a subquarter, half back or end, and Crowley, 168 pounds, who looks good for the back field. There are two heavy pieces of line material in Smith, 195 pounds, who is very fat and young; and Bohlander, 185 pounds, who is slow and green,. It is likely that neither of these men will be able to 11 the position in the line unless they develop, much faster than It appears possible from their present showing. The chances now seem to indicate that the extra line positions will be filled from last year'3 scrub team. Badenoch, 173 pounds, has had one year's experience playing center against the 'varsity, and shows prom ise of holding the position, Ehrhort, 163 pounds, was also on the scrub team last year, and Is quite likely to win a regular position in the line this coming year. The real hope of the season lies In the football ability of the veteran members of the team. Taken all In all.

ELLET JOHN L HENRY C SHOE CO. 515 Kansas Avenue. -Sse til 1 DOESN'T I O0ESNT CRACK f- a SAG OVER 0RPINCHejL -jLJi-i V HERE HERE O 3 He Is unsurpassed as a player and rarely equaled as a tactician. In my 25 years experience as a coach and player I have never seen his equal as a dodger In point of cleverness and resourcefulness supported by splendid speed. In running from his position he Is In a class by himself and I have never seen anyone who could even ap proximate his ability. He is strong and accurate and clever in making forward passes. He Is safe and dead ly in his tackling. He Is unerring in his catching of punts. And. above all and beyond It all, he is an Inspiring leader and a resourceful general. Another very valuable player Is Hal Iddings, who can play equally well In either half back position. Idd ings Is an Ideal half back, being quick and fast on his feet, a very clever dodger and an untiring work er. He can be called upon repeatedly and always will respond with a" fine effort. He is strong as an interferer and helper and a bora fighter offen sively and defensively. He knows the game thoroughly and is clever in all departments of it. He can always be depended upon to do his level best. In Page, Chicago has one of the best little ends in the country. He has had a rather limited experience aa a football player, having played hardly any before captaining his freshman team In 1909. He made the 'varsity at end In 1907, and from the beginning of ?he season there was never any doubt that he would fill one position on the team. Page is fairly strong In all departments of the Of University of Chicago Football Pros pects for 1908. Coach A Ion no Stagg at Lieft, Captain Steffen at Kifiht. game. He Is a good kicker,- a fierce tackier, and a good Interferer, and la also very clever-, in making forward passes. He has hot' been used very much for carrying the ball, but is be ing" tried for th"e half back position this coming year,' wfth every chance of his making good. The University of Chicago' ahs an uriusually hard schedule In view of the number of substitutes available. The big games of the season are: On Octo'or 17 with Illinois, October 31 with Minnesota, November 14 with Cornell.: and No vember 21 with Wisconsin at Madi son. Games are also scheduled with Purdue on October 3 and Indiana on October 10. At the present writ ing it is not at all sure but that ev ery game will be a big game for this year's team. MISSOURI A TRIFLE WEAK. Tigers Are Shy on Good Quarterback Material. Columbia. Mo., Oct. 19. Missouri's showing last Saturday against the weak Westminster college team was far from pleasing to the coaches and rooters. The game In Itself was con sidered no more than a practice bout, but It served a more serious purpose and showed up some real weaknesses that the Tiger coaches must correct or resign themselves to defeat at the hands of Ames next Saturday. In the first place the Tigers are un doubtedly shy on good quarterback material, and have only one reliable man at the pivotal position Deather age. In the first half of Saturday's game Deatlyfrage ran the team up and down the field through the collegian eleven as if the team were indulging In its daily signal practice In the first half. In the second half, however, Deather age was replaced by Williams. Trow bridge and Saunders In succession, and all of them showed up in poor form, comparatively. The Tigers ar. still weak in the kicking department of the game. GOODS jXEWS FOR MICHIGAX. Fullback Watkins, Injured Two Weeks Ago, to Return. Ann Arbor, MIoh., Oct. 29. A re port made today that Watkins will be back in the lineup after the Vander bllt game has added considerably to the hopes of the Michigan rooters. -Watkins received an injury to his head in the Michigan Agricultural game two weeks ago and it was feared he would not be able to play for the remainder of the season. His physi cian, Dr. Waldron, said this evening that the player's condition was Im proving as rapidly as could be expect ed, and with a rest of a week, he prob ably would be entirely recovered. The returned of Watkins will clear up the problem as to right end. Though he has been playing tackle this season, he will be put into his old place at full, left vacant by Edmunds. This will allow Davison to be moved to right end to replace Ranney. LEFT END A HOODOO AT YALE. Five Players Hurt In That Position Tills Season. New Haven. Conn.. Oct. 29. Tale Is look ing for a left end vush. The search has to be renewed nearly every day, for as fast as one Is discovered he is crippled. Five have been knocked out this season in that position, including Logan, Burch, Haines. Kiloatrick and Mersereau. The crippling of the last, Mersereau, took place today and will keep him out of the sport a fortnight. He wrenched his ankle. Two other clever substitute plavers. Jack Field. full back, and Beineckle. tackle, were injured, both re ceiving an ugly cut uner the eye. They will be In the hospital list several days. Aggies 17, Southwestern 0. Manhattan. Kan.; Oct. 29. The Kan sas Aggies defeated Southwestern uni versity here Wednesday by a score of 17 to 0. Both teams used the forward pass to good advantage in presenting the opponents with the ball. Both teams put np a good consistent game. OKLAHOMA VS. ARKANSAS. Sooners and Razorbacks to Battle on Friday. Norman. Ok., Oct. 29. Benjamin Owens, for the past four years football coach of the University of Oklahoma, entertains some doubt as to the result of the game Friday with the Razorbacks from the Uni versity of Arkansas. At Lawrence, in the game with the Jay hawkers. Coach Owens played the same men during the entire game, while the Kansas lineup contains eight new men. This accounts for the defeat of the Soon ers. At Manhattan it seems the Sooners wanted to get revenge for their defeat on the Saturday -before, and from the start of the game against the Aggies the Okla homa's played their best. It will be re membered that about three weeks ago the Jay hawkers defeated the Asreies bv a -score of 13 to a, and according to the aorjester s figures, UKlanoma being 33 to 0, has a better aggregation than Kansas. K. U. has been a hoodoo for the Okla homans for the past five years that the schools have been rivals. Three years ago the Jayhawkers won the game, 34 to 0; two years ago, 20 to 4; last year, IS to 0, and this year. 11 to 0. XIXE LIKE ASTON E WALL. Haskell Fails to Make a Gain tn Prac tice Against K. TJ. Lawrence. Kan.. Oct. 29 The Jayhawker eleven had what Coach Kennedy called a vigorous and a beneficial scrimmage with the Indians Wednesday afternoon. The Haskell team w'll meet St. Marys at the Catholics' home Town Saturday afternoon, and for this reason Coach Maurice Kent of the Haskell tribe was especially anxious that the practice be held. The redmen were given the ball during the greater nart of the practice and Kan sas took the defensive. Haskell showed splendid form and at times fought like demons to make their downs, but all ef forts to gain the ten yards in three downs were futile. The Jayhawker line proved to be as strong as a stone wall. The previous night the Kansas scrim maged with the freshmen, and Lovett. captain of the freshmen team, sustained a serious sprain In his right ankle. At first it was thought that the ankle was broken, but since the swelling has gone down, medical attendants say that It is only a serious sprain. Jn the freshmen varsitv tussle the first-vear men found that the regulars had Improved much since the scrlmmae between these two teams ten days ago. IOWA AFTER CORXITCSKERS. llawkeyes Will Be Given Practice With the Ghost Hall. Iowa City. Iowa, Oct. 29. Confidence In the ability of the hawkeyes to play a hard battle against Nebraska next Saturday is growing here since the Morningside game. The fact that none of the players was hurt in that contest, along with Captain Kick's improvement, has caused the undergrad uates to regain the faith lost after the Missouri defeat. To get the right mental attitude In the plavers Is the ambition of the coaches. Assistant Coach Griffith took charge of the sqund today, as Head Coach Mark Catlin stopped at his mother-in-law'B home at Sloan. Iowa, before returning to Iowa City. If the weather permits Coach Catlin will bring the "ghost" ball Into play this week for the first time this year.. DETROIT TO TOUR KANSAS. Famous American League Nine to Be in Wichita April 2.

The College of Emporia football eleven goes to Lib erty, Mo., today to play the William Jewell team.

Nelson Will Probably Not Be Able to Fight Before March. New York, Oct. 29. In spite of the announcements that 'promoters are trying to get Battling Nelson In the ring with Packey McFarland for a six round bout, friends of the battler In this city say he will be unable to en ter the squared circle again before next March. This is because of an Injury to his right hand, sustained In his last bout with Joe Gans. One of the bones in the hand, Just behind the knuckles, was fractured In the con test and has healed so slowly that It will- keep him from using the mem ber in any strenuous fashion for some time. Nelson wired to promoters here that he would be willing to meet Mc Farland. He sent this word from the train before he left for Boston via Albany. He did not specify the time, however, and promoters here were reported as falling over each other to get a bout which could not be scheduled for the immediate future. When Nelson was here it was found that the fractured bone had risen from its normal position and made a ridge in the back of the hand just behind the knuckles. KENTUCKY OWNS RILET.
