QUAKERS PREPARE FOR BASKETBALL

Eight Old Men Will Report For Practice This Evening. EXCELLENT PROSPECTS. STRONGER TEAMS IN INDIANA AND OHIO WILL BE PLAYED OHIO TRIP MAY BE MADE DURING SEASON. By Tort. Now that the foot ball season .at Earlham is over, arrangements for the basket ball season have started. Manager Jones expects to offer the college and city followers of the great indoor game a treat for the season of 1908-09. The St. Mary's five of Dayton, from whom the Quakers won the championship of Ohio last year, have already signed to play at the coliseum and negotiations for games with Purdue, Wabash. DePauw, Butler and Rose Poly are under way. It is also understood that Manager Jones has opened correspondence with the manager of the University of Michigan team for a game In this city. This will be the first season Michigan has had a basket ball team. Should the Wolverines b secured it is probable a larger crowd would be attracted to the coliseum than when the Purdue five played here two years ago. This game was witneesed by 2,000 people. Manager Jones is also contemplating taking his charges on an Ohio tour, playing the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State university, Wittenberg and the Cleveland Athletic club. The material with which Coaches Vail and Holmes have to work with 1his year is the best in the history of the college. Eight out of twelve of last year's team will be on- hand when practice starts this evening. It is also probable that Captain Wilson will return to college after Christmas. The old varsity squad now at college include Hotchkiss, Hancock, White, Conrad, Lindley, Overman, Swaim and Ifarrell. Among the new candidates who are expected to make the veterans hustle are Rees of Rochester II. S., and Morrisson of Darlington II. S. Larrence and Pitts, former varsity men, will also try for the team as will the Tebbltts brothers from Whlttier college five, which won the championship of California last year. BOTH ARE CONFIDENT Terrible Turk and Oison Think They Will Win Wednesday Night. MATCH DRAWS ATTENTION. At the Simmons Brothers cigar store the sale of seats opened this morning for the wrestling match which will be pulled off Wednesday night at the coliseum between Charley Olson and Bob Manogoff, the Turk. In sporting circles this big match Is the sole topic of conversation. Many out of town people will attend the match, some coming from Muncie and Anderson. Several of Olson's Indianapolis friends will also be on hand. ; Olson is the favorite among the fans because of the recent defeat he administered the Turk, but everyone looks for a much harder' fought contest, because the Turk will enter the ring in much better condition than he was in when he met Olson before. At that time Big Bob was suffering from a heavy cold. ' Olson Is always in "the pink" and he feels as confident of defeating Manogoff as at the previous meeting. At that time Manogoff downed him once. Olson says that this will not happen again and that he intends to put the Turk on his back twice in rapid succession. This statement, the Turk says, makes him smile. PIRATES WILL FIGHT F0RRRST PLACE Will Meet Carmens in the City Bowling League Tonight. The Pirates and the Carmens will do battle at the city bowling alleys this evening. The Carmens, better known as the "Red Demons" are holding first place in the city bowling league with a percentage of .666, while the Pirates are a close second with .600. This means that if the Pirates win two games, they will be tie for first place, but if they win all three they will go to first place. The Carmens will have their full team this evening and it is 6tated they expect to show the bold bad Pirates how the game Is played. The other games this week are Wednesday evening. Business Men's league, B's vs. A's and on Thursday evening, C's and D's will clash.

In the American league batting averages Issued today it is shown that Ownie Bush in the twenty games he played with Detroit made twenty hits, an average of one per game. Bush was at bat 68 times, giving him an average of .294. Criss, the utility player of the St. Louis team, led the league with an average of .341, but he only played in Gi games. Ty Cobb was the real leader, batting .324 in 150 games. The other .300 batters were Delahanty of Washington, Crawford of Detroit, Gessler of Boston, Thomas of Detroit and TMelman of Boston. "King'' Lajoie only swatted at a .289 clip. Eastern football gave the western game a black eye that will be a long time healing. Cornell, rated about ninth best team in the east played Chicago, the best western team, a 6 to 6 game. Pennsylvania humiliated Michigan by administering a 29 to 0 defeat. Ouch. Next Saturday the Yost eleven plays Syracuse, which played a 0 to 0 game with Princeton, and the supremacy of eastern football over western football will once more be demonstrated in a decisive manner. Lee Tannehill will quit Comiskey if he can secure the South Bend club franchise in the Central league. PREPARED GOING AWAY OUTFIT Mrs. Frances J. Flynn Visited Mrs. Gunness Before The Trial.

HENEY RECOVERS FROM HIS WOUNDS

Wounded Prosecutor Says It Is Too Bad His Assailant Suicided. CIVIC PRIDE REKINDLED. DETERMINATION AROUSED TO SUPPORT PROSECUTOR IN HIS BATTLE AGAINST ALL CHARGED WITH FRAUDS. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 1C The condition of Francis J. Heney Is still most satisfactory and the attending surgeons report that he is making excellent progress on the road to recovery. He passed a comfortable night, sleeping most of the time, and rested easily today. Although the bullet has been located, embedded in the left of the Jaw about one Inch in front of the ear, the surgeons have decided not to extract it until Mr. Heney gains more strength. The swelling in the throat is less than at any time 6ince the patient was taken to the hospital, and he is breathing normally. Sorry Haas Shot Himself. When told of the massmeeting held Saturday night Mr. Heney showed great interest, and on being Informed that his assailant had taken his own life at the county jail, he said: "It is too bad he did it before giving his reason for shooting me." The suicide of Morris Haas, who tried to assassinate the prosecutor was the subject of much discussion today and the police authorities were engaged in trying to ascertain how he was able to have concealed the pistol with which he took his life after he had been thoroughly searched two or three times. The attempt to kill Mr. Heney has had the effect of rekindling civic pride and overcoming indifference and criticism of the prost ition of the bribery graft cases, and has evoked a determination to support the district attorney in the prosecution to a conclusion of all charged with debauching the public service. THE PIGEONS WOtt. H Spite of Clipped Wings They Got Back on Time. The colonel was something of a pigeon fancier and had so much confidence in' a certain strain of homers he was making a hobby of that when his friend the major proposed a wager the colonel removed the limit "We'll make It a suppub," said the major. "Yo black boy will tote a palah ovah to the cyabs an' ship them to St Louay, whaab they ah to be libabrated on ahrival. I wagah they ah not back in two days, sab." The colonel accepted, crated his finest pair and included a note to the express agent with the charges. Meanwhile the major communed with Joe, the colored boy, and after the tendering of a certain half dollar and promises of immunity from the consequences of the colonel's wrath later Joe agreed to clip the pigeons' wings sub rosa. Two days passed, and the major presented himself duly at the colonel's. The colonel eyed him with suspicious narrowness. "Have they ahrived?" asked the major gayly. "They hev. sah," said the colonel, with dignity; "they hev, but those two pidgins, sah, hev the so'est feet I evah saw on a bird, sah." Browning's Magazine. BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT. Then Take Long Think and Mind Your Own Business. The other day a man traveling on a shore line train noticed, protruding from an overhead rack, a dress suit case which he recognized as belonging to a friend. He knew that his friend always got off at the station which they bad just passed, and as he was not in the seat the conclusion was inevitable that he had jumped off the , train and forgotten It. ' The man called the conductor and explained the case to him. After some discussion and a mild protest on the i part of the conductor that it wasn't a ! part of his duty, the suit case was put off at the next station, with Instruc- ' tions to send it back on the first train the other way. The man, feeling that he had done an able and friendly act. settled down for the rest of his journey. But not for long. The face of his i friend, who had been in the smoker and who happened on that particular . afternoon to be go'ng- on to New Lonj don to attend a dinner party loomed before him. The moral of this is. of couise, quite evident Be sure you're right and then mind your own business. Life. Overboard. "Overboard" is engraved on a metal label fastened to many articles of paraphernalia seen about the decks of a modern war vessel. It means that the article so marked should be thrown overboard whenever action with an enemy's ship becomes imminent. Alcohol chests, turpentine tanks, paints, spare spars, unnecessary batches and other articles easily destroyed or splintered by shell fire are thus labeled. The president of Occident college. California, is said to have given the word a new meaning in civil life when he used it to indicate these who are unfit, useless or inapt in the struggle of life. It is a strong word and as such can be appropriately applied to men and things which when a ship must go to battle are not necessary or material to the end desired. Army and Navy Life.

WILL HELP MEET MBS.SAGE'S OFFER Wayne County Branch of Bible Society to Act. A committee of the Wayne county auxiliary of the American Bible society, composed of L. H. Bunyan, G. H. Knollenberg and Edward Thompson, met this morning with the Ministerial association to devise ways and means for the county to assist in the movement to raise $500,000 so that the society can secure a like sum offered by Mrs. Russell Sage. Mrs. Sage offered to give this amount provided a similar amount was raised by the society by January 1. All over the United States auxiliaries of the society are making an effort to raise the money. CAhuS IN CHURCH. They Were Not Uncommon In the Old Days In England. Frequent cases of card playing occurred in churches In olden days in the high or curtained family pews that were to be found in several parts of England. ! A case of card playing was mentioned by the poet Crabbe as having occurred in one of those pews in Trowbridge parish church. Mr. Beresford Hope stated that card playing was not uncommon in churches having curtained pews, where those occupying them were screened from the observation of the rest of the congregation, and that one of the Georges is credited with taking part at a game of whist In the churclj he attended. j ! 'The church at Little Stanmore, in Middlesex, has a luxurious room pew which is approached by a special door and staircase. The old St. Paul's cathedrsl before the great fire of London was used by business men as a sort of exchange. The portico was let out to hucksters, and in those days gambling and cards are both said to have been indulged i in without let or hindrance within the cathedral. London Standard. Outwitting a Buhhranger. In Mr. George E. Email's "Story of the Australian Bushrangers" the fol-l lowing little episode is related: A man; named Michael, who went to an inn '. for food, found the place in the bands of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests were already disarmed and were being searched In order. Michael was competed to take his place in line. The bushrangers handed him a pannikin of tea before they took his money. Knowing what was coming, he held the pannikin as if the tea were too hot to drink, and when the leader of the highwaymen was lo'oking away dropped his roll of bank notes into it Hi stood quite quiet, and when the bushrangers came to feel his pockets there were only a few shillings in them. The robbers appeared satisfied and alJ lowed him to go. He carried his pan nikin out with him, took his money and put it in his pocket without being observed. Then he mounted his horse, rode to the nearest police station and gave information. Her Indorsement.

IS HOT ARRAIGNED For Second Time Continuance Of Kelier Hearing Is Granted. NEW ATTORNEY IN FIGHT. Another contjuuancc has been granted in the case of the State vs. Keller, charged with murder. The Jury had been summoned and appeared in court witnesses were on hand and the court attaches were prepared for the trial of the case, which had been set for today. Announcement was made, however, that Keller has retained additional counsel and a continuance had been granted pending a conference of counsel and client. Kel ler's new rescuer from the penitentiary for life Is Henry Robinson, an attorney at Louisville, Ky. It is not known when Mr. Robinson will be here to talk with Keller, but it is probable within a few days. Prospects are that after he has heard the story of the case, Robinson will labor to induce Keller to enter a plea of guilty. The man has confessed to firing the shots, which caused the death of William Thornton and there are said to be no mitigating circumstances. Keller maintains he fired in self defense. The county must pay another time for the jury that was called, but not used. r,;a Medil Flour makes delicious Halted tuff. Rbooa.

BREWERS

OCCUPY PLACE ON THE FEKCE (Continued From Page One.) session when the brewers were making a frantic effort to defend th county local option bill several ot them were before the public so strongly that they are believed to have weakened their own cause. It is said that the word has been sent down t'ae line by Fairbanks and his lieutenant for the rest of th brewery contingent to stick to the timber until after the legislature has a chance to consider their proposition for the repeal of the local option law. Fairbanks has been here several times since the election, but the rest of the brewery lobby has been under cover. He is informing his friends that he is not taking a hand in th senatorial contest and that he will not have anything to do with it. Some of the followers of the candidates for the senate have acted in a suspicious manner, indicating that they would like to warm up a little to the brewery boss, but he has kept them at arm's length. But whether or not the combine will be able to keep out of the senatorial race is problematical. As matters now stand It seems that three of its friends are insisting on receiving help from It while three or four vigorous candidates are letting it be known that if the combine crosses their path they will see to it that the local option law is not repealed. Under the circumstances the indica tions are that the combine is on thin ice which ever way it turns. If it helps Taggart, Lamb or Shlvely it will offend John Worth Kern, L. Ert Slack and the rest of the combination. It is now conceded by those who have studied the situation that the senatorial contest came at a very inopportune time for the brewers. $41.55 One Way to California Washington Oregon Etc.
