Whether or not hourly bulletins will be issued showing the physical condition of the player, we are not informed and the general public has little interest in knowing. In fact, there seems to be very little interest taken in the matter here. Percy JLongfello* will do the honors of diamberffiaid. If*da-4iot Jfikely that any of our readers will enjoy a ride over that new electric railroad for a few months at least. The high waters up In the Kankakee district will undoubtedly delay the work of building grade and laying tracks there for awhile, but there is now nothing to prevent their laying tracks through the corporation of Rensselaer. Now get busy, gentlemen, and let’s see some dirt thrown. We have seen enough wind wasted in Jasper bounty in the past dozen years to tiuitd a score of railroads, and nqne have materialized yet. The Indianapolis News has at last discovered that in its support of the republican candidate for mayor of Indianapolis it was buncoed good and hard. Shank has not only repudiated his promisee made to the people In the way of appointments, but the«grand jury is investigating the reports that he promised various jobs to party workers for theil- support, and if these reports are found to be true he may be disbarred from taking his seat January first, the supreme court having recently decided that such promises were sufficient to disbar an official from holding an office to which he had been elected. Indictment by the grand Jury is said to be very probable as a result of the Investigation now going on, and should

Shank be found guilty of the charges made by those he promised appointments to, but did not appoint, he cannot hold the office to which he was elected, but a new election must be held.

SAY MINE OFFICIALS KIDNAPED EMPLOYES

RspcrSTha! Men Who Knew How Firs Started Are Hidden. 0 Cherry, 111., Nov. 26 —An attempt to prevent a thorough investigation of the St. Paul mine horror by Coroner Malm through the kidnaping and intimidation of witnesses is ascribed to the mine officials by the United Mine Workers' union. Robert Deans, the assistant eager of the mine, who. witnessed the starting of the fire which snuffed out the lives of hundreds of his fellow workers, has left Cherry under mysterious circumstances and is the third man to disap pear since the day of the catastrophe. His relatives and members of the union said that Deans was kidnaped and forced to leave this county under threats of violence and blame of being held responsible for the fire. Mss. John Love, a sister of Deans, at whose home he lived and whose husband was killed in the third vein, received a letter from Deans. The letter bore a Chicago postmark and in it Deans told his sister that he was going to leave Chicago at once, but did not know’ where he was going. "The true story of how- the mine caught on fire was told me by Bob.” says Mrs. Love. “He said that for three weeks previous to the fire the electric light wires had been useless and that large torches were hung in the mine In their places. “Alexander Rosenjack was the eager in charge and Bob worked under him. He took his torch from his hat and hung it on a peg. The oil from the lamp fell on the car, containing five bales of hay (/ and set it on fire. “Rosenjack -was taken away from Cherry directly afterward. John Crowley, the mine engineer, has also left the village.” Explosion Entombs 228 Japanese. Tokyo, Nov. 26.—Fifteen men are dead and 228 entombed as the result of an explosion In the Onoura coal mine.

Football Is Still Fc[?].

Year after year the demand i> m i • i for the abandonment of the game «>t football in tbe schools and colleges The advocates of the sport bare resisted the petition of fathers and mothers, alleging that the game is necessary fqr Hie proper development of American ybuth. All attempts to secure a radical modification of the rules and practices of play have been unavailing. Now and then some so called revisions of the rules are undertaken, but the annual toll of death continues to be exacted notwithstanding. The public opposition to the game of football aroused by the numerous deaths which occur on tbe gridiron field is not directed against the sport itself so much as against the manner in which it is played in this country. Defenders of the sport declare that it is conducive to the so called virility of the American character and that the training in it at our schools and colleges is next to necessity for the development of American youth along national lines. The truth Is that certain players in the United States have brutalized the game out of its real nature and have taken pride in the fact that it is rough and dangerous. Notwithstanding the popularity of automobiles, the trade in wagons and carriages is reported to be larger than ever before. The horse lias not been eliminated, though it is to be confessed that he is often cfowded to the side of the road. The Italian monarch is said to be trying to devise some scheme to keep his subjects from emigrating to tbe United States. Let us hope he succeeds, so far at least as the Mafia and the Black Hand societies are concerned. , o Taft was much interested in watching the cow-boys work in Texas. His distinguished predecessor interested the cowboys by showing them how to do it. Every time Spain thinks of the rebellious Moors she must be reminded of what fine, law abiding fellows those insurgent Cubans were. If you buy or press out a barrel of apple juice and do the right thing by it and put it into a particular sort of barrel it Isn't half bad. Who wins all the money risked at poker, bridge and stock dealing? One seldom hears of anything but the losses.

Portionless Boys and Dowried Girls.

There is something of a RomaD parent’s austerity in President Taft’s desire to start his boys poor. If wealthy fathers were to follow the example the “threegenerations between shlrtslee'Ves and shirt sleeves’’ would be reduced to one. sons no longer beginning where the father left off. The plan wight be expected to be generally beneficial to society. A boy can have no greater handicap to Incentive and to real usefulness than an inherited fortune. There would be the additional advantage that wealth diverted from inheritance would revert to society in the shape of public benefactions. But the possibility of such conditions by Mr. Taft’s statement that, though the boys must take care of themselves, he intends to “scrape together” all be can to give his daughter, so that she need marry only when she chooses to marry and not because of circumstances. This is in effect an advocacy of dowries for daughters. In that event the advantage may suggest Itself to disinherited young men oJ acquiring a fortune by marriage rather than by toil. With the British average yield of wheat by the acre established as the normal harvest in the United States, the wheat supply would rise at once to 1,500.000.000 bushels. By the utilizing of laud now practically waste space the wheat yield can be Increased to 2,000.000.000 bushels a year, with other food staples expanding In proportion. There is no doubt that football is valuable in the military and naval schools. It is a game that gives exercise to every mental faculty as well as strenuous physical exercise. If the murdered Prince Ito could* make himself alive again he would be pleased to know what a fine man Russia and China and all those countries thought he was all along. Mrs. Andie Besant says there will not be a poor man in the country 2,000 years' from now, so it’s all right to pray for reincarnation in the ranks of the unemployed in 8800. Those who deplore certain tendencies in daily papers of a class should note that it’s In magazines of a class that lurid writing is now often to be found. Whatever excuses Dr. Cook has for his delay in producing proofs, it pats him at a serious disadvantage.
