COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Monday morning Mr. Ralston, democratic candidate for governor, gave an address to the students in the college hall. His Bpeech treated about government in general. Last week’s visitors were: Frank .Schmidt, Mrs. P. Schmidt, Milwaukee, Wis.; F. Deslauries, St. George, Ill.; Leo Oeslauries, Manteno, Ill.; Mrs. W. H. Reedy, Chicago; Mrs. Ellen C. Mellady, Otterbein, Mr. and Mrs. L.' F. Douglas, Remington. The delightful autumn afternoon attracted the St. Xavier Glee Club to a river outing. The time was enjoyed strolling along the Iroquois river in singing songs and taking photographs. All enjoyed an agreeable afternoon. Last week the students enjoyed their annual fall outing. For many miles they tramped through the for-, ests and over the prairies. About 100 of the stalwarts found their way to Remington. And what they did to the restaurant keepers was plenty to behold. None .came home that night but the weary and tired, with minds refreshed from the sweet recollections of the many charms that had been gathered in the Intimate communion with autumnal nature. Sunday evening the C. L. S. rendered a very successful private program. At the conclusion of the entertainment, Rev.-L J. Rapp announced to the members that St. Viator college, Kankakee, had asked St. Joseph to engage with them in an intercollegiate debate. The matter will be taken up at the next business pieeting and arrangements will be made for holding the contest. For years there has been very friendly relations between the two neighboring institutions in athletic affairs and it will be pleasing to have the same friendly spirit carried over to educational affairs in intellectual matters also. Sunday afternoon the Rensselaer Juniors again came out to the college grounds, this time to regain the prestige lost on their previous visit. The team was so Changed and also strengthened that there was little left of the forpier club. But the matter of ' size did not frighten the locals, rather it served to nerve their gameness, for as they put It, if we can beat that bunch we'll have more credit. In that spirit' the plucky collegians entered the game and won by the score of 18 to 0. They played a much faster and more consistent game, whereas the visitor* lacked organization. The features were A. Cavanaugh’s drop kick from the 30 yard line for a goal, J. McCaffrey’s 35 yard run, and C. McDonald’s 70 yard run, both for touchdowns. .

INJUNCTION ASKED BY RACE TRACK OWNERS

Seek Coart Order Restraining Guardsmen From Interfering WKh Por- ' ter Race Meet It looks now as if the final issue of the race track war at Mineral Springs will be fought out An court. The latest developments are that the owners will seek to enjoin the interference of officials in the running of the track. The racing corporation Wednesday filed their complaint in the Porter circuit court against Thomas R. Marshall, the governor; Mark Thistlethwaite, his secretary; Adj. Gen. McCoy, Brig. Gen. Garrard, all of Indianapolis, Major Freyermuth and Capt. Guy Kimball, of South Bend, and Capt. Geo. H. Healey, of the local company, as members of the Indiana National Guard. The case was brought before Judge McMahon, and yesterday afternoon he decided that the proceedings were ; for Judge Tuthill, so the case came up before him this morning at Michigan City. In a letter received from Lieutenant Tuteur this morning from the scene of action, he stated that the boys were all getting along fine, that they had quarters in the grand stand, and furthermore stated that they were in possession of ho information '■'that would enable him to say just when the boys would be home. That there was absolutely no sign of any trouble, never had been, and that it was preposterous to think of any physical outbreak. He further stated that the boys found it rather chiljy the first night, owing to a lack of proper preparation. They have had ample time to get the things needed for their comfort, and the boys will in all probability remember this as one of their greatest experiences.

POKER TABLE WITH UNWRITTEN HISTORY

Sheriff at MonticelloDestroya Table That Has Bone Duty For Fifty ’♦ . . 'v ’ ‘ ’' . -’■ A i .. ~ • Dale Shell, of Montlcello, was fined $23.60 this week for conducting a gambling house in that city. Included in the gambling room furniture confiscated and destroyed by the sheriff was a poker table that has (been in and around saloons, poolrooms and private gaming rooms in Monticello for fifty years. The history of this table would make interesting reading could it be written up. Monticello in its “wide-open” days had some of the largest games in the state. The most prominent politicians and lawyers of the city made a nightly practice of playing for big stakes and even some of the. circuit judges were noted for the amount of whisky they could drink and the high stakes they played for. Those days are past and the games now are confined mostly to the “tin-horn” gamblers of that county. The shooting scrape some months ago that nearly resulted in the death of a citizen of Monticello back of one of the gambling rooms there resulted in closing the rooms for a time, but the closing does not seem to have been permanent.

"A Romance of the Woods" Made HR With Playgoers.

If you did not go to the opera house last night you missed one of the best dramatic treats with which the people of our city have been regaled in years. “A Romance of the Woods,” a very similar piece to the "Wolf,” was acted in a manner to please the most exacting. Tbe costuming was good, the settings well taken and the acting of the several parts a revelation in repertoire work. Only,six characters were used and overy part was strong, casting the proper atmosphere. The climaxes were not over-trained, the situations nicely timed and the dialect good. As a company of players, they surpass anything seen here in a long time, and they are artists, every one of them. Elsewhere in this paper they announce tonight’s feature bill. If the play last night is to be a criterion of the work they do, we heartily recommend them to the theatre-going public of Rensselaer.
