“Follow the W|se Few Rather Than tfte Foolish Man.’’ A very small percentage of humanity know the need to 1 care for real,teeth until some friend or other source suggest J advice that is accepted and acted upon. It only requires a littiy effort to be one of these few, and 4 you will have a possession that many would give a fortune to j own. The first step to follow these few is a careful exam- 1 ioation of yonr teeth. What 'should be done and what should J not be done, is a matter of .importance that a dentist with 1 long experience can best decide. j Yon will be glad to know what I tell yon about your teeth. , OR.

Will K. Martin, of Washington, D. C., arrived here this morning to vote. Mr., Martin cast the first vote that he ever polled _in Rensselaer four years ago, and this will be his second vote. He has resided in Washington ever Bince he became of age, with the j exception of a little over six iqonths when he lived fn Rensselaer. As all probably know the District of Columbia, including the city of Washington, is run by a board of commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress, and there are no elective offices -there, and to avail oneself of the right of suffrage It is necessary so establish a residence in some -state and go to that state to vote. There is only one state in the union that prohibits the return of its,citizens to vpte, after they; have taken up their residence In the District of Columbia. That state is Maryland, and the state law that prohibits it is probably in coqfUqt with the constitution, but has never been tested. The law was passed at the dictation of Renaor Gorman, of Maryland, for many years foe leader on the democratic side of thf senate, and a political boss of the most corrupt kind in Baltimore and the state of Maryland. Whgn he had the law passed .there were considerably .more republicans democrats that held tbeir residences in Maryland mid government jobs in Washington, and as Gorman wanted to be elected to the IJnited Stales senate, he chopped off the suffrage of all of them together, and the law has never been repealed for the reason that the democrats have always been in control of the affairs of the state. This is the same Gorman who took such active hand in the passage of the WilsonGorman tariff measure that paralysed the business of the country during the last Cleveland administration. Mr. Martin is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. , John W. Powell, and while here will be at the borne of his brother-in-law, C. G. Spitler. It is probable that Mrs. Powell, who has been here for the past two months, will return to Washingon with him.

STRONG OAKWOOD TEAM VICTORIOUS

Weight aid Training To* Mach fir the Yeiig Fellows on Oir High School Team.

Oak wood 20; Rensselaer 0. That tells the tale of a gamelyfought football contest playell titfih last Saturday. It is not often Chat jittered and black colors are trailed in the dost, but the well trained,' husky lads from West Lafayette were too strong for our smaller and poorer conditioned lads and while the heine boys put up a game fight, it was no use, and the superiority of the visitors was plain in almost every department of the game. Rensselaer kicked off In the first half and Lafayette carried Die ball back to the center of the field in a series of line bucks, hitting flrlt right and then left tackle. Dtk Rensselaer took a brace find Held for downs and Elder carried the trail back 30 on kn end run. Kiric followed with a" 10 yard gain rail then Oakwood braced and held fdr ivyo downs and Rensselaer trle4 ia drop kick, but it failed, Lafayette then went foe length ‘~ci* the field, only to be held for downs whed wftpin three yards 6t ifotouchdown. travail kicked foe ball well down '.Mi. field and for a tline Tt’TooEed n the local ‘ boys would hold their own, and then they made an error'll not punting on a third down, as Duvall was good for 40 or SO yards at any time. Lafayette again chaigdd the line and followed it with a goojd gain on a forward pass and when foe ball was again on our 10 yard line Rensselaer braced for two downs, | and Would have held for the 3d had Oakwood tried the line, which w& perfectly braced. But they saw fob and sent Wilson on a short end nm, and just got over foe line. Kirk offered Injuries that compelled him to leave the game and sols required * change that sent English from quarter to end, and Haas, who took quarter, was not fast enough in passing foe ball and this worked greatly to ottr disadvantage. Haas, however, placing defensive quarterback, made (wo brilliant tackles and saved touchdowns on both occasions. Duvall suffered an injury that pat him oat of the game and Gandy so badly bruised that he too had withdraw. There were no big reseryes to draw from and the team was weakened with each change, but tbe gams .little scrappers Jept fighting ratll the last. In the weakened conefopon Of the team there was no hope, rad save for the marvelous work of Elder, the score would have been enormous. Elder .was everywhere, and tackled so perfectly foat only on one oecaasion did an Oakwood runner get away from him. Elder's work was rather foe most, brilliant individual performance seen .on; the local gridiron since the “good old. days" when Marshall, Sayler and Parcells were the Idols pt foe gridiron. f ~ ( TLafayette succeeded in making three touchdowns, in kicking one goal, and then near the end of the last half making a splendid placement gcral kick from back of the 30 yard llne - Ttae visitors wei e a gent.emanly lot of players and indulged in no unfair advantages. They simply outclassed our lads and the credit of the Home boys is that the score was not larger. Everybody goes to the box ball alley.
