Kirk Mar Play Base Ball. IOWA CITY, la., Dec. 4. f Speolal.)- Captain Caroll Kirk, the bright star of Iowa athletics since his entrance Into the state university In the fall of 1905. will enter tho ranks of professional ball players this summer If he can make proper ar rangements whereby he can graduate from the university In June and play base ball the remainder of the summer. Kirk, tho hero of many a base ball and foot ball contest, Is reticent concerning bis venture Into professional hnse ball ranks. "I prefer not to announce my Intentions until the contract Is drawn and signed," he said. It has, however, leaked out that Kirk Is considering eight or nine offers from different managers and that at the E resent time he is seriously considering a iea Moines contract. Owner Higgins has been on tho Hawkeye captain's trail for the last two or three weeks and if satisfactory negotiations result in the next few days regarding the omission of the spring train ing and early Besson playing. Kirk will probably bo seen In the capital city this summer. Kirk Is an athlete of splendid habits nnd gained his fame on the gridiron and dia mond largely by hard work, regular hours and by light training out of season. His friends predict a brilliant future for him in professional base ball. Concerning a position as foot hall coach next fall. Kirk stated that he wished to secure a good berth In a high school or small college. "I want to secure a position us tfaclier and roach of athletic teams It possible," he said last night. Ida Grow Won Id Hnak Corn. IDA GROVE, la., Dec. 4. (Special.) "The Bear Creek team is In the wrong when It says that Ida Grove Is looking for a hole to crawl out of. Ida Grove stands by Its challenge to meet any 16-year-old high school players In the stute at husking corn, and Ida Grove will not only meet any such tenm at the state farm at Ames, but tills town will wager 5o0 they win. In asking 15 a day for the work of the men the day they husk corn we are only asking the regular price of 3 cents a, bushel, and It would be worth much more than that to have sixteen husky boys rush over 2.000 bushels of corn Into the state farm cribs in a single day. There are plenty of huskers In northwest Iowa making 13.50 to 15 a day and it would hardly be Just to ask Ida Grove to rush 2.000 bushels of corn Into the cribs and refuse the boys the regular price of 8 cents a bushel.

HOW RABBIT DODGED THE DOG J n in pa Into Flylnsr Auto and Gasoline Fames Kill Its Foolish Pnrsaer. Charles Crampsey, a Newark, N. J., busi ness man, was driving through Caldwell with two friends In his automobile, when on the outskirts of the town they saw a aeg pursuing a rrfbblt. Tho dog was bay ing fiercely and seemed to be gaining on tunry. The rabbit and Its pursuer came diagonally across tho field toward the road on which the automobile was speeding, but they were running at a speed far In excess of the vehicle. As tho rabbit reached the road,w-ay It had to leap on a stone wgll that runs parallel with the highway The elevation brought It almost on a level with the ton neau of the machine, and tho next Instant It had sprung across the Intervening space and landed squarely in the seat behind Mr. Crampsey, who was driving. Tho dog also had to leap the stone wall, but the automobile had sone by when he poised for a spring after bis quarry, and he missed landing where bunny did. The rabbit, after a frightened glance arc und, seemed to decide that the auto mobile was a safe refuge and made no effort to escape 'from Mr. Crampsey, who had put a protecting arm around It. But the dog gnve chase to the automobile with loud yelps. Mr. Crampsey put on full speed, but the anlnal was game, and soon began to gain on the car. When lie came alongside he reeled and the next moment fell over dead. The party got out and went back to where the animal lay. One of Mr. Cramp sey's friends, a veterinary surgeon, said the dog, whose heart had been weakened by. the fierce race, had succumbed to tha gasoline fumes and was suffocated. Mr. Crampsey took tho rabbit home. Newark Advertiser. MACHINES TO KNEAD BREAD A. French Device Capable, of Knead Ina, One Thousand Pound at a Time. The American consul ut Lyons, France, reports that during September there was an exhibition of mechanical bread kneaders In that city ut which thlrty-f.ve inechanKal devices were exhibited for kneading bread by power. Time we.e German Invention; all the j otheis were French. The prices varied from 500 francs U10.60) to 4.000 francs (Ji72). Most of them ure by steam or electricity, but all miy be worked by hand or gas or pi trole.im eiiglnes. These machines will knead from 300 to l.ouo pounds of bread In an hour or In less time, and they will knead from one pound of bie.id up to 600 pounds. Toey ure used in nearly every bakery In France, and the old style of kneading by hand Is nearly out of use. The troughs In which the dough Is kneaded In theso machines ure ge..erally about four feet In diameter. When tile v. oik o( kneading Is In progress the t ough turns louiid vlow y, und .he dough Is turned over by a system of metall.c claws which lift It up, throw It over and give It a thorough turning us completely as could be done by hund. By this sys.em every part of the dough Is thoroughly kneaded. It la said that the bread made by this system Is better than the article made by the old method. A mechanical bead kneuder employed In France some twenty- 1 five years ago be'.ame very unpopular, but upon Invest. gatiou the cause of the unpop ularity was found to be In the pour quulliy of flour i:s.'d. It Is now cmsLered be. o.id ulspute that the mechanical biead kneadcr produces belter bread; that it is healthier than the breifil made by the old iiiclhod. Fiuer Feelluua In Boston.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY CONTINUES Inadequate Supply of Water Retards Work at the Woolen and Palp Mill of New Kngland, NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Colder weather brought a better demand for seasonable merchandise and holiday trade made good progress, but assortments wire not wholly satisfactory because of the conservatism of many dealers who .failed to secure adequate stocks. Indus trial activity is maintained, except where it Is customary to limn operations for In ventories at this season. Shoe factories receive much forward business, whole salers anticipating higher prices In keep ing with the persistent upward tendency of hides and leather. Recent advances In pig Iron are held, although there Is less pressure to provide for the needs of 1909, while the steel Industry Is almost normal except for the big railroad contracts that aro still deferred. Commercial paymeniB are gradually Improving. Inadequate water supply retards wo k at Wool and pulp mills In New England, col ovens a Connellsvllle and various other Industrial plants, whllo lake navigation la about closed for the season. v Dry goods market conditions are more quiet, although there Is no evidence of weakness. In some lines there Is the usual lull that appears In December, while In other departments the position of the raw material Is a disturbing factor. It Is also noted that there Is less complaint of difficulty experienced In securing deliveries us desired. Thero is a steady demand for cotton goods from buyers, who have re fused to operate beyond Immediate needs. Export business Is still handicapped by the depression In silver market. Shipments of shirting prints to Manila are recorded and Red sea buyers make bids below the mar ket, whUe attracts little business. Im provement continues In the demand for woolens, although orders are unevenly distributed. The market has advanced sufficiently to render It certain that most reorders will command higher prices than original contracts. Strengths In the dom estic hide market Is fully sustained. Con sumption of leather Is now on a more liberal scale, although sales are only fair because all large buyers recovered their require ments for the balance of the year befoti the last advance. Footwear salesmen re port Increased business with Jobbers an retailers and New England producer receive substantial orders for heavy good wholesalers placing contracts in antici pation of an advance In prices proportiona' to the rise in materials.

A NIGHT IN SOUTH AFRICA Scenes at a Stopping Place for Pas sengers on the Cap to Cairo Railroad. The dark comes down with African swiftness, and at 8 o'clock the train stops for tho night at Choma. Instantly all Is life and bustle. In an Incredibly short time all the natives on the train and they often number 100, either going to or returning from the mines are busy making fires by the sldo of tho track upon which to cook their evening meal. Our own boy li busy with tho rest, making a fire also and boiling water for tea. In fifteen minutes you have the new ex perience of a dark African night, with Its brilliant southern stars, and the biasing fires, each within its circle of laughing, chattering natives, whose while teeth gleam In tho firelight as they throw their heads back In huge enjoyment of any Joke. They are allaM.t uncanny, 'those gleaming white teeth.. Bverywhera Just firelight and black, Indistinguishable figures and rows of gleaming teetl! The second evening we sv . J O'cl'' V whllo it Is still daylight, and so "weWJu. a longer stroll. We have now made friends with one or two other travelers, and u little friendly gossip passes the time until a meal is ready. It Is so Interesting to know why theso other travelers are there, each in his way so different from tha traveler at home, who excites neither Interest nor surprise. Hero Is a Belgian going to Congo, manager, of course, of some big rubber plantation or mine, whose wife Is brave enough to accompany her husband Into the Back of Beyond. Here Is a native commis sioner for Northwestern Rhodesia taking his wife and child to some distant outpost, only to bo reached arter perhaps ten or twenty days trek. One looks at tha woman with a sense of awe. She Is young, pretty and charming, and out where she Is going there Is no other woman, no doctor within perhaps eighty miles, no other child or ner cniirt to play wlth-nothlng but .ays and weeks of monotony and the st ance ono can hear. Wo look at her with i we because, we know she Is a heroine. Vo know she Is going. In a measure, to a Jllent martrydom, unless the man for or whom she goes can be all things to her. Later on the shalion master regales us all with an excellent phonograph, and the rows of glistering teeth glisten more persistently j-han ever as the natives gather around, both awed and delighted. Then onco more we all retire to sleep and next morning awake refreshed to the con templation of the loveliest part of tho whoio route, the hilly dl(rtrlot Kafue and Lasaakas. Kafue we had passed tl previous nfternoon and gaxed in sur Pr.so at the fine bridge across the river the longest bridge n Africa.
