It will soon be learned whether the President has congress on his hands, or visa versa. Benton Review: Editor Babcock of Rensselaer, has the satisfaction of knowing that he was one of the foremost in' this skirmish line against rowdy football. Japan wants $25,000,000 for feeding Russian prisoners. Japan must bavo got hold of one of those St. Louis hotel price cards that were used used during the exposition. After all, are not the politicians who held up the life insurance companies for contributions, about as guilty as the officers who were scared into putting up the money. Hanover (lud.) College trustees will abolish football and modify and curtail other intercollegiate athletics, making standing in college indispensable to membership in any athletio team. Every time the trust magnates read about what congress is going to do to them, they look lovingly at a photograph of the Senate and think what a good joke they are about to spring on the country. It is officially explained that the recent land thefts in Oregon, Utah and Montana, were of state and not public lands. This confirms the general impression that the public lands had all been stolen already. One of the cruelties of football that has not been much dwelt upon, but is real nevertheless, is that the players must remain in in the universities, now that the season is over, and get down to actual study.

Those big insurance companies seem to all be tarred with the same stick. It uow develops that the Prudential was a $35,000 contributor to the republican campaign fund in each of the last three presidential campaigns.

January 8, Jackson day, will be observed as usual by the Jackson Club of Lafayette. Big preparations are being made for the event and every democratic mayor in the state, about half a hundred of them, have been invited to attend, as well as noted democrats from all over the country.

He received a hard blow on the head in a scrimmage. This swells the list of fatalities for the season to 23

Adjutant General John R. Ward of Monticeilo, has resigned by request of Governor Hanly who alleges that his accounts are not correct. Ward states that if there are errors they were unintentional ones, and has paid to the treasurer of state the amount which it wag found he had over drawn. The discrepancies were discovered in going over the accounts of State Auditor Sherrick, who was reoently removed for dishonesty.

• “Glarkejr,” of the Journal, still has a great deal to say about •‘lotteries ” (Some people haven’t brains enough to know when they have got enough.) Well, how about that racing pool business that “Clarkey” has been running here for several years? Hia reputation in Rensselaer as a gambler and with females of the derni rnonde is too well known to require any special mention here. Suffice it to say that the Democrat man was never turned out of any position he ever held, for turning the office of which he had charge over to bacchanal revels with women of questionable character, has never attempted to “get gay” —to put it mildly—with young girls in the employ of his brother publishers, never made affidavit that he was a liar, nor has he ever been classed with the gambling fraternity or been connected with any questionable practices. Savey, “Clarkey”? If you want any more we have the goods on the shelf right handy.
