Coach Vaii Feels Confident That He Will Have a Good Team. QUAKER SQUAD STRONG. EXPECTED TO LAND HIGH AMONG SECONDARY COLLEGES SEASON OPENS NEXT SATURDAY WITH ANTIOCH AS FOE. Jloth Mr. Vail and Prof. Trueblood feel confident that Earlham has this year the best football material in its history and they modestly state that they cannot see with the naked eye, any secondary college in the state ,that has anything on the Quakers. In fact they think Earlham this year will make them all sit up and take notice. Earlham will, feel the loss of Capt. Barrett and Half Back Guyer but there is enough material on hand to plug up these holes in the eleven. The Quakers will. also probably be forced to play Larrence at quarter this year in place of Wilson. Larrence with Hancock, Leggett and Stanley was one of the best ends Earlham ever had, but Larrence is expected to make as good showing in hia new position. Johnson, a Fairmount academy recruit, Is expected to be a valuable addition to the team. , Good Schedule. Earlham has a good football sched ule this year, four, of the seven games being played at home. The season opens next Saturday on Reid Field with Antloch college as the attraction.

'Earl ham will go to Springfield, O., to meet its ancient enemy, WittenberK. On October 31, Earlham will play Butler on Reid Field. On November 7 the Quakers will taue on nose roiy at Terre Haute. The closing' game of the season will be the most interest ing on the Earlham schedule. This game is with Depauw and will be played November 14 on Reid Field. Saturday afternoon, full to the brim with new plays, formations and tricks, Coacl; Fred Vail of Earlham, led a dozen or so of his most, promising candidates out on Reid Field and put them through a light practice, although it was better base ball weather than football. The men rolled uround on the bail, punted and did isome ot her warming up stunts. Vail then chased them to the shower baths and the first day's work was over. , This work will continue during the week. A large number of men reported this afternoon. TEACHER RESIGNS.

Ooan'a Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work , , Irr Richmond." , Most Richmond people work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over a desk --riding on jolting wagons or cars doing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back 1ft a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and tnjure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering tha poisons from tie blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys; put new strength in bad backs. Richmond cures prove it. Martin Bulach. Tailor, of 433 South 11th street, Richmond, Ind., says; "A number of years ago I was troubled with backache. The kidney secretions were -also too frequent in action. The trouble being brought on, I think, by the nature of my work. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended for such disorders and I procured a box from A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. After using them a short time, the aches and pains disappeared and the kidney secretions became normal. I thank Doan's Kidney Pills for the relief I found through their use and recommend thera to anyone suffering as. I did." , For sale by all dealers. Price 50 centa. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

It is interesting to note that totemism Is found not only in Alaska, but among the North American Indians, the aborigines of Australia, the Hottentots of Africa and even the hill tribes of India. Totems are also common among the Samoans. Broadly the totem is the badge of a clan or tribe, but it signifies a great deal more than mere political or social alliance. It is not only a tribal emblem, but also a family sign; not merely a symbol of nationality, but also an expression of religion; not simply a bond of union among primitive peoples, but also regulator of the marriage laws and of other social institutions. A totem has been denned as "a class of material objects which a savage regards with superstitious respect, believing that there exists between him and every member of tJfie class an intimate and special relation." , Among the Ojibway Indians there are no fewer than twenty-three different totems. Nine of these are quadrupeds, marking out the wolf, the bear, the beaver and other clans, eight art birds, five are fishes and one is the snake. Some extraordinary superstitions regarding totems prevail in Samoa. Thus it is believed that if a turtle man eats of a turtle he will grov very ill, and the voice of the turtle will be heard in his inside saying: "He ate me. I am killing him." If a banana man uses a banana leaf for a cap he becomes bald. If a butterfly man catches a butterfly it strikes him dead. If a fowl man eats a fowl delirium and death results, and so on, all going to show that the totem has something of the quality of a fetich as well as the significance of a family emblem. Regarding totemism, it is to be noted that the relation of mutual help and protection includes also the totem itselfthat is to sny, if a man takes care of his totem he expects the totem to return the compliment. If the totem is a dangerous animal It must not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion men of Senegambla declare that the most deadly scorpions will run over their bodies without hurting them There is a snake clan in Australia which holds to a similar belief. Anions the crocodile clan of the Beohuanas It a marv is bitten by a crocodile or even ( has Water splashed on him by one he is expelled from the clan as one esteemed unirorthy by the totem. Housekeeper. Siberia'. fcevt paid clergy get about $600 a year, whiiw tbo porer clerg have often to beg for their breaii They irive a great deal to do.

Sporting World

Reds. Pittsburg has the easiest schedule, with six games with the lowly St. Louis outfit. Its a toss up which American league club has the easiest schedule. Detroit has fix games with the Washingtons, who have always, been terrors to teams having pennant aspirations. , Detroit stepped into the lead in the American league race by winning yesterday from Philadelphia, while Cleveland was forced to remain idle. The Tigers are now one point ahead of Cleveland and the Sox are three points below the Naps. Ownie Bush was the bright and shinning light in Detroit's victory. He accepted nine chances without a wobble, scored one run, made a single and double, drew a base on balls and stole a base. Cincinnati played a double-header yesterday with SL Louis, losing the first game to the Cardinals because Spade was ineffective. O'Toole was wild in the second but won for the Reds. T PLEADS NOT GUILT! Home Wrecker Arranged for Saturday's Brawl. A charge of public intoxication has been placed against William Rost, who returned home. Saturday night and created havoc, while in a drunken frenzy. Rost plead not guilty and the case has been continued until tomorrow morning. His wife and her children will appear as witnesses against him. Rost drove them from their beds in their night clothes and caused them to seek refuge at Z tower, on West Fifth street, Saturday night. He broke up a quantity of furniture and created a general rough house.

McManus First Witness. Sergeant Daniel McManus, was the first' witness placed on the stand by the state. He gave an account of the raid setting it forth in detail. The only portion of the evidence offered by McManus that has not been pub lished in the original accounts of the case dealt with the action of Gay, af ter the police arrived. Sergeant McManus said Gay went to a room across the ihall and said he would like to Bpeak to him (McManus). He, too, went Into the room. Mrs. Gay was there also but took no part in the con versation. McManus said: "He told me it was a bad situation. I told him it was. He asked if there was any way it could be avoided. HJe said he did not like for it to become public, and did not like to have the stuff (meaning confiscated goods) taken down on Sunday. He asked me what to do. I told him there was nothing for him to do. but he had better go to the city building and make his arrangements." The examination of witnesses for the state continued during the afternoon. The defendant has but one witness besides himself. It is probable the case will go to the jury before court adjourns tomorrow evening. Gay's attorneys will leave no effort untried to secure the man's acquittal, and it is expected will urge in behalf of their client the fact no Wayna county saloon owner, wJiose place Las been raided ever has been sent to jail as the result PIE, RICHMOND'S ; TREAT TO SOLDIERS (Continued From Page One.) ties In the middle west.

WILES ELDER TO COACH WILLIAMS

Former Richmond Boy Reaping Results of Famous Football Career. HE IS A POPULAR FELLOW. HIS NEW POSITION IS AN UNUS UAL HONOR, AS PROFESSIONAL COACHES HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED PREVIOUSLY. The many local friends of Wiles Elder, formerly a resident c2 this city. win be pleased to learn tnat he has been appointed head coach of the WilHams College football team. Elder is probably the greatest football player Richmond ever developed and for the past four years he has been one of the star players of the game. Elder formerly played with the Richmond high school team. Concerning Elder's appointment as head coach at Williams the Brooklyn Eagle prints the following: V None of the men that Brooklyn has sent to Williams during" Jhi last ten I years has become as prominent or as popular as William Wiles Elder, son of James Franklin Elder, who resides with his family at the Hotel Margaret. Elder entered Williams in 1904. after four years at Exeter, where he showed those same qualities of character and unusual athletic ability that have made him a reputation at Williams. As a freshman. Elder showed up so strongly in early football practice that he was made 'varsity left end. He made good at once, and has played a star game ever since. His consistent, heady playing, combined with his natural ability of leadership, resulted in his receiving a unanimous vote for the captaincy of the team during the season of 1907. His election was Justified by a successful football season for Williams, and especially by the winning of the great contest with Amherst by a score of 26 to 6, a victory due in large part to Elder's able management of his men. He was captain it his class team in sophomore year Aside from his football honors, Elder lead in various other activities. He vis a member of the freshman and sophomore years; president of his freshman class, chairman of the sophomore supper committee,, and 'varsity cheer leader in his senior year. Elder's good nature, modesty and ability made him the most popular man in college in his senior year. The senior Class Book says of him: "In Elder we have an illustration of the rule that the men who are the most prominent in undergraduate life are usually the most modest. His geniality and keen sense of humor have done much to make him one of the most popular men in his class." By the class vote, Elder was shown to be the most popular man, the second best natured man, and the second best athlete in college. Elder will be the head coach for the Williams 'varsity football team this fall, an unusual honor, as for many years past the college has had high salaried coaches of experience and reputation. Elder is a member of the Golden Lion, the class society. Phi Kappa Beta, Gargoyle, the college honor society, and the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. WILL BE A NURSE. Miss Edith Dingley Goes Hospital. to Miami Miss Edith Dingley of this city has entered the training class for nurses at the Miami Valley Hospital for a course of three years. Miss Dingley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Dingley of this city and is well known.

ing and Saturday night about 11 ul ueeiumg oreacu oi promise cases, o'clock they clashed on Main street. The Italian law demands that the irThe fight was of short duration.

Would you kindly try and arrange a match for me with the winner of this bout and issue a challenge for me through your paper? I am always in good wrestling form and can come on short notice, PATE DEPENDS ON EDWARD STEGALL Huntington and Murray May Be Held to Court. Unless Edward Stegall changes his story and exonerates Frank Murray, colored, and Earl Huntington, the j latter two w111 be heM to tne circult court upon the charge of highway rob bery. Stegall claims Murray and Huntington held him up and robbed him, but he was intoxicated at the time. An affidavit has been prepared charging him with public intoxication. The authorities have not yet decided whether to prosecute him or simply hold him as a witness against Murray and Huntington. BREACH OF PROMISE. Mannar in Which th Law Treats It In Different Countries. England is the best place, from the plaintiff's point of view, for a breach of promise action. All other countries seem to regard with grave suspicion any attempt. to recover monetary compensation for the loss of a prospective husband, and unless the plaintiff has a very strong case indeed it is never worth her while to carry her grief into the law courts. " In Frauce breach of promise cases are rare, for the simple reason that the law requires the plaintiff to prove that she has suffered pecuniary loss. Now; this is not an easy thing to do on the part of the Jady, especially in a country where a girl without a dotthat is, a marriage portion has a poor chance of finding a husband. Holland and Austria have adopted the French system, and the result baa been about the same. Breach of promise actions are rare, the injured damsels or their relatives usually taking the law Into their own hands. Practical Germany, as might be expected, has perhaps the best method for solving this problem. When a young ,couple become engaged they have to go through a public betrothal ceremony that -ought to knock all the shyness out of them. In the local town hall the pair declare their affection, willingness to marry, etc, endlug by signing a collection of documents that apparently leave no loophole for escape. But if either party to the contract wishes to withdraw another Journey is undertaken to the town hall

and another collection of documents curred on September nineteenth at signed witnessed and sealed. Thenthelr home at Escondldo California. the authorities determine the question;. ,fra ta

of compensation should it be claimed. Tn h I a r n I Jtn 4 t4 m o r tvA oatt that . mo . , . . tne man can and often does claim solatium for his wounded feelings. The usual award is one-fifth of the marriage dowry. It is easy to understand when ail this is remembered how loath the young people of Germany are to break their betrothal oatlis. ' - , As the law of Italy affords little or no protection whatever to Jilted damsels or swains, it is not surprising that j tbe stiletto Ehould be the favorite mode surmountable, and the Italian Judges are seldom troubled to adjudicate between one time lovers. To bring an action for breach of promise of mariage against a reigning monarch is an achievement, but it has been done, and by nu English lady. Mis Jenny Migbell sued the sultan of Johore. and as there was a doubt whether the dusky one was actually a reigning monarch tlw case was allowed to come into court, but the Judge quickly disposed ojf the action by ruling it inadmissible for the reason referred to, and Miss Mighell was nonsuited. It is remarkable that one of the two actions which have brought verdicts for 10,000 each to the plaintiffs should have had for its defendant the editor of a matrimonial paper. The second case was between a well known actress and the eldest son of an earL London Tit-Bits. Never Again" and
