"It means that much right now with the ink not yet dry on the transfer papers.

I may, of course, and It is not at all improbable, hook up with some desirable Eastern and Western connections. Just who these are I am not yet at liberty to announce. "The Oaklawn race track, as the plant now stands, has passed from the hands of Dugan Stuart to. the hands of Stuart. The personnel ot the prospective owners, if other than myself, of the racing officials and the like will be announced In time.

Sioux City, The chief glory of the Sioux City of boom days Is soon to depart.

The third elevated railroad In the world" Is to be pulled down. For a dozen years Its olcture has illumined every piece of boom Iterature Issued from the city and the Sioux City an away from homo has been wont to speak coolly of the at home. The elevated is a reminiscence of the hottest" boom town the Middle West ever saw. When railway passes this fall the end will have come of a notable monument to the strange craze that swept over this country prior to and that made everybody believe elevated reads, cable systems, transcontinental railroads, skyscrapers and suburbs seven miles from the postofflce were demanded the iipsured development of the town. The elevated was first projected In 1888.

It was designed to connect the heart of the city with Morningside, a beautiful ijlateau east of the city, the owners of whose farm lands conceived that there would be a demand for them in the form of city lots. The projectors created the demand, and before the road was built there were about two thousand persons on the plateau as residents. Today there are ibout five thousand of them. The elevated road was built at a cost of about and Is about one and one- fourth mites long. It carries the Mornins- side street cars over the maze of railroad tracks in the manufacturing and packing district of the east side of town.

The elevated structure originally started at Third and Jones streets and ran about a mile cast on Third street, i south at Division and ending with an incline which Carried the cars to the street level, on which the track extended to Morningside. It was really a long viaduct with the dignity of an elevated road-- elevated stations every four blocks and a structure that would carry any railroad train that came into Sioux City. There were strange stories about the elevated In the first months of its construction. It was a structure of standard gauge and thousands of persons believed that it was being i by one of tho transcontinental railroads a being constructed on paper" between tha Atlantic and Pacific via Sioux Some persons were Indignant at thin left- hamk-d method of a i i a right of way through tho. town, while others believed It would be good tiling- to let the railroad where- plojisud.

THE SHE IIS 24 TO 0 Vnr.ity Showed Improvement, bat the Line "Worlc on 1m Still Defective. SraouL to Tin Austin, Oct. University of Texas football team defeated Trinity University of Waxahachle this afternoon by a score of 24 to 0. Trinity played well, Texas hiving scored only once In tho first haif. There were no particular stars on Trinity, all playing together with remarkably good team work.

Her backs made good on both offensive and defensive work, and Texas wan able to scoro only by the hardest kind of playing. Texas showed much Improvement, but her line work on defensive was not what it should have been. Capt. Watson, Hobtnson, Masterson and Jones were loaders for Texas. Watson kicked all four goals.

Texas showed her form In the toconi half, gave much satisfaction. Texas will have a hard game here next Friday with the Haskell Indians as opponents. FARMERS' HEAVY TEAM. Prospect! for the Future Team an Good KB for Thin Game TeMterdar. SPECIAL TO Tins NEWH.

College Station, Oct. prospects continue to Improve ttfl the season advances. With the recent cooler weather Coach Plait has Riven his men more vigorous practice each aftternoon. Yesterday afternoon he put the first team through an hour's hard signal practice and then lined them up for a half hour's scrimmage with the scrubs. This scrimmage work is of the most strenuous character, as there are several good men trying for the various positions to be filled, and the rivalry is very sharp.

Tho spirit'and enthusiasm of the entire football squad is being remarked on by football experts, and the willingness of the men to train consistently and persistency has probably before been equaled at this Institution. The coach is much pleased with the progress of several of the new men. All are hard at work anO some are showing excellent form for this season of the year Cornell, who tips the beam at about two hundred pounds. Is quick and very fast. He is almost sure of a place at guard or tackle Lewis is also showing up well, especially In advancing the ball.

De Lesdernier, though not a new man at football, is a new man at this Hchcut. His work at half back is fine, especially the judgment he shows In following the interference. His place on the team Is practically assured. Woodman at end, Harrison at tackle and Dale at guard are others of the new men who promise to develop Into varsity material as time goes by and they learn the game more perfectly. If It Is true that prospects for a strong team this year are unusually good, it is equally true that prospects for future teams could hardly be better.

Three members of the first team as now constituted are members of the freshman class and many of the most promising candidates for oth places belong to the same eJaaa. With a little more experience and training the freshmen on the football squad would make an excellent team, without the assistance of the upper classes. If future freshman classes contribute like numbers of football men, the "hoilermakers" will never lack for men for their teams. One of the best games of the schedule arranged for this team is the gams with Sewanee, to be played at Dallas on Nov. 10.

Sewanee always has a good team and plays a fine article of football. She has defeated the University of Texas twice out of three times and has never been beaten by this team. Thu Agricultural and Mechanics I team will be in prime condition by that date and a great game Is assured. Sewanee has a large number of alumni In Texas and they never fail to turn out and cheer the purple on to The team leaves Friday for Waco to play same with Baylor University Saturday afternoon. If this team is as.

strong as that of the University of Texas It should win from Baylor without serious difficulty, for Add Ran, which played Baylor a noth- Ing-to-nothing game two weeks ago, was defeated by the varsity by the score of 40 to 0. But of course Baylor has made great improvement during tho last two weeks. Tho line-up of the A. and M. team In Saturday's game was as follows: right end; Boottoher (captain), tacUle; a right guard; Monk, center; Cornell, guard; Kenclrlck, left tackle; Brown, left end' Street, quarterback; Walker, right halfback; De Lesder- i left halfback; Street, fullback.

Aa to when the match will be pulled off the professor he can be prepared to meet his man within the next two or three weeks. He is very desirous of meeting Underwood, and thinks that a large Interest can ho aroused among 1 the sporting element, not only of tho two cities, hut of others towns in the State where the men are known, and that the attendance would be larce.

Austin, Oct. most Interesting etbry comes to the Adjutant General's office from the West of-Ihe narrow escape from death of a ranger captain and the un- usuafr depredations of a bandit who has a record almost equal to those of the days of Dalton Boyo, Sam Bass and others. Capt J. H.

-Rogers, of the Texas. Rangers, aided by several Sheriffs, has been trailing the noted bandit, Hill Loftus. all through the West and the Panhandle, but has not been abie to capture However, he unexpectedly came upon Loftus and it nearly cost him his life. Loftus was armed with a Winchester and promptly took a shot at Rogers, but the bullet struck the ranger's horse, which went down, carrying Rogers under him. Loftus came up and leveled his Winchester at the ranger, who begged for his life and was finally spared, but lost hta six-shooter.

A Western Sheriff who had become separated from Rogers, heard the noise and up and he, too, was promptly disarmed and suffered the loss of his firing arm. Loftus was then satisfied and rode away, promising worse treatment if he. was again molested. Loftus Is just now becoming prominent as a Western bandit and has a hiring of crimes charged against him, among which are two murder counts, arson, several and assaults. Robbery of several country stores and other depredations are charged to him.

His operations have not been con- fired to Texas, but he roves around In the West and part of Mexico, There are a number of rewards offered in different Western counties for his arrest, though none has been offered by the State.

Austin, Oct. Purchasing Agent Anderson has returned from a visit to the North Texas Insane Asylum at Terrell and tho Home at Corsica)in, nnd Ptn.te.4 he found everything In good shape and the supplies coming in all right. under the now contracts. Tho Controller today registered Jfl.OOO issue of Ilansford court houses bonds. Nothing of a similar nature that haa aver transpired In this country equals the mar- recuperation of the city of Galveston from that awful cataclysm of 5900.

But four years have passed since that tidal wavo? almost blotted Galveston out of existence. Her people perished by tho hundreds, every branch of business was paralyzed, all of the great structures and Industrial equipment that had mado her a typical metropolis of the New South was in ruins, and over all hung a dreadful fear that never again could the city DO a safe place for residence. But Galveston was not dead. Pulsating through her terribly mangled form was the old spirit of energy which, like the wand of a magician, hat! created a great city, and which, like Banquo's ghost, 'would not down." Large cities usually grow slowly, and Qalveston had to go back to the beginning and start anew. Ignoring the wail of the pessimists who argued for the abandonment of the site and rebuilding elsewhere, the substantial element which has given the New South its prefix began the herculean task of rebuilding the city.

To prevent a recurrence of the disaster which all but swept them out of existence, their first work was the construction of a seawall. The county put out a bond issue of $1,500,000, and Galveston showed its faith 1 in the future of the then Btrichen city by taking nearly every dollar of the issue. The wall has been constructed for a distance of 17,690 feet, and the danger of another tidal wave has been practically eliminated. As a further precaution the city has undertaken the work of raising the grade of the city, and for that purpose has already issued 12,000,000 In bonds. The enormity of the traffic which this new Galveston Is handling and her quick recovery from what seemed a vital blow can be understood by a few figures which are presented by The Galveston News in a special edition just Issued to celebrate the completion of the seawall.

The total cotton receipts for the year were 2,406,031 bales. The city led all American ports in shipments of cotton a.nd wheat, was second in cotton seed products, third In breadstuffs and fourth In livestock. Exports were valued at Bank clearings were 1445.588,000, compared With for tha previous year, and during the year 1,497 vessels of 3.452.B3G tons net register entered and cleared from the port. These are wonderful figures for a city which four years ago was considered as hopelessly ruined, and the showing made In all branches of industrial enterprise is a remarkable tribute to the dauntless energy and hustle of the men of the New Oregonlan. An frith Lake.

Among the curiosities of nature which tourists love to visit in Ireland is a small lake ronowned for its tremendous depth. A traveler started out one day for a ramble among the mountains, accompanied by a native guide. As they climbed. Pat asked him If he would like to'see this lake, "for it's no bottom at all, sorr." "But how do you know that, Pat?" asked the tourist. "Well, sor, I'll tell ye.

Me own cousin was showing the pond to a gentleman ons day, sorr, and he looked incredulous like, just as you do; and me cousin couldn't stand it for him to doubt Ms word, eorr, and so he said, 'Shure, I'll prove the truth of me and he off with his clothei and Jn he jumped." The tourist's face wore an amused and quizzical expression. "Yes, sorr, in he jumped, and didn't come up again at all, at all. "But," said the tourist, "I don't see that our cousin proved his point by drowning Imself." "Sure, sorr. It wasn't drowned at all ha was; the month or so after comes a letter from him in Australia, by telegraph, us to.eend on his clothes." Some Riddles. On what did Noah live when he was In tha ark?
