[Continued form page 1.] The Freshmen can never be relied upon and are too young to mix much in politics anyway. The Lawrence High School probably has a candidate for the presidency in Joe Cones, a newly pledged Beta. There is little talk about the athletic election, although a general intention prevails to elect only men who will be willing to devote their time to the promotion of athletic interests. From remarks and innuences let fall from time to time in the halls, I gather that a ticket something like this would be popular: At large, Dean J.W. Green; football, Walker, McKinnie; baseball, Prof. Adams, Williams; track athletic, Jackson, Alexander; boating, Rose; Rose, tennis, Prof. Clark, Boone. There are whims in politics, however, as in everything else, and relentless waves of public opinion may dash the hopes of 'friends.' Mrs. M. Barnes, 826 Massachusetts street, dress maker, All work done in first class manner. FOOTBALL GOSSIP Moss, who was the formidable right guard on the Varsity last year, was shaking hands with friends on the hill Tuesday. Moss has been playing tennis and boating around the northern pleasure resorts and at present has charge of the boat house at Washington park in Kansas City. - The training table has been started and the men will be ready to line up on McCook Gold Monday. Doctor Woodrufi was out of town Wednesday and Prof. Cowan took charge of the practice. "Fatty" Sherman put on a suit the first of the week and has practised daily. Sherman was sub-guard last year and shows up well in practise. Johnny Crooks was on the hill this week. He expects to study medicine in K. C. this fall. Nat Foster who played right tackle on the team last year was in town a short time Tuesday. Nat is looking well and weighs over 200. He has played base ball all summer with the Gardner, Kansas. team and is in excellent condition. Foster left on an afternoon train for Olathe where he intends to participate in two baseball games between the Olathe team and the Decoyets of Kansas City. The candidates for the various positions on the team have engaged in light practice during the week under the direction of Coach Woodruff. Monday, instead of the general round of kicking, the men were lined up in squads of four, the candidates for balf were sent down the field thirty or forty yards, the ball was kicked to them and they attempted to form interference and return the ball as far as possible before being beaked by the men that came down the field after the kick. Kaull, who played guard on the Varsity team of '95, was in town the first of the week. Kaull expressed a desire to get back into the game, but said it would be impossible on account of business engagements. It is early in the season to hazard any prediction as to the outcome of the season's work. But, with the prospects growing brighter each day one cannot but feel that all that is necessary to ensure a season of brilliant victories, in which defeat has no part, is that the student body shall give the team and management their cordial and enthusiastic support. With this assured we may view the present with equanimity and look into the future with delight. The place to get the best hair cut, shave or bath is the Tipton barber shop, Stewart and Wagner, Props., 838 Mass. st. At the Opera House Monday Sept. 20. Opera House Monday Sept. 20. Human nature loves to be humbugged, P. T. Barnum used to say, and the public loves to be artistically gulled. This desire may be fully gratified here when Herrmann the Great Company, headed by Leon Herrmann, the chosen successor of Herrmann the Great, and Adelaide Herrmann, the ever popular and beautiful widow of the great magician, with their company of twenty people, will appear at the next. The Herrmanns this year have unquestionably the greatest magical performance in the world. Leon Herrmann has created the greatest enthusiasm wherever he has appeared. For years past he has been a star in necromancy in Europe. He recently made his first appearance in Chicago, where he played to crowded houses and received almost an ovation nightly. Adelaide Herrmann is, of course, a leading favorite the world over. She has appeared before every crowned head in Europe, and her wonderful spectacular dances are the most bewildering and beautiful that have ever been seen. Many have tried to imitate her, but dismal failure has been the result, and today Adelaide Herrmann is the foremost woman on the stage in spectacular dancing. She devises all her dances herself, and with the thousands of colored lights that are used in their production, the graceful Mme. Herrmann looks more like a fairy queen than one of the earth. The "fire dance" which she will give here for the first time, has already made a tremendous sensation. She appears in this dance to be actually burning up in an immense pillar of fire, and the spectacle is one of the most curious as well as beautiful that could be imagined. It is safe to say the Hermanns will receive a royal welcome here. At the Tipton barber shop a ticket for seven baths sells to $1; fifteen baths, $2; twenty-four baths, $3. Ticket for school year, $5. Towels furnished. Seats on sale Friday morning. "JUST WHAT WE WANT." So Says Hugh Blair About the Employment of a Pennsylvania Coach by Missouri. The engagement of Wharton of Pennsylvania, to coach the Missouri team has created great excitement in football circles. Mr. Hugh Blair, when seen this morning by a WERNLY reporter, said, 'This is good news to me. I had not heard of it before, and was afraid that the interest in Missouri was flagging. We want them to have a good team. They can't have too good a team to suit me. We expect to be pretty good ourselves, and we want Iowa and Missouri to be able to keep up their end of of the game. An inter-Pennsylvania league out here in the west isn't a bad idea, is it? The people will be wild to see the eastern play of these three western teams. It will be the making of football in the Missouri valley and and we can soon compete with the northwest. It will also have a rejuvenating effect on general athletics. No sir, these opposing teams can't be too good to suit me. We can't afford to beat Missouri 30 to o again this year. We would soon be unable to get out a crowd to a game.
