football which both Yale and Princeton
have exhibited in years past. The game
itself. however. was totally diiiertni
from the recent Yale Harvard smuggling
match and was played from the start to
the finish without Il display of temper or
a show of blood. Just as long as the
game can be played in this way it vii!
remain the most popular of college sports.
The Western football season just clos
cd suggests very strongly the organ1za-
ton of Western Collegiate Football
League For the last few seasons GER
tain college teams have clearly excelled
all their Western rivals, and it is the
opinion of many Western college men
alumni among the numher-that league
should be organized. This seasons work
has shown that Wisconsin. Michigan.
Minnesota. Purdue. University of Chca
go and University of Illinois excel the
other Western colleges at the kicking
game. just as they have done for several
years. If these six institutions should es-
tahlish q league it would undoubtedly
greatly improve the game in the West.
With Il siN-collcsc league. all the mem
hers of which had comparatively strong
teams. n schedule of games cosild be ar
ranged in which there would be almost
as much interest rs now is shown in the
great games East. 4 point in favor of
the league suggested is that four of the
colleges are located in large towns. where

ties of Michigan and Illinois. yet while
Ann 1Arhor and Champaign are not large

Tho Public Health,

At meeting of health officers of
the state held at Springfield, May IS
last, an organization was effected
known as the Illinois State Board of
Health Auxiliary association, the OBJ
ject being to perfect a permanent Or
ganization to make every sanitary
officer, whether a physician or not,
a corresponding member OF the state
board of health, so that the central
organization may be kept in touch
with the sanitary conditions prevail
ing in every section of the state, and
enable the state board to place in the
hands OF such officers sanitary infor-
nation and instructions for carving
out the provisions of the laws OF the
state. for the protection of public
health. and the prevention and sup.
preston of contagious and preventa.
BILE diseases, and to endeavor to Sc.
cure such additional legislation as
may, from time to time, become nee.
essary. The legislature, which meets
this winter, will be asked to pass
some new measures, and to adopt
amendments to the present health
laws; and it has been decided that
such legislative enactments can best
be secured by demonstration of the
numerical strength of the associa-
ton. and also by agreeing upon what
Legislation is necessary after a gen.
eral discussion by all interested in
all parts Of the state, and placing in
the hands of each health officer the
result of such deliberation in the
shape Of bills or amendments for.
mally drawn, so that each one may
urge upon his representative the de-
mand for, and necessity of such leg
islation. With this object in view,
the state board Of health, after due
elaboration, has issued its call, and
such a meeting will be held in the
city Of Springfield. on the 18th and
14th days Of November. 1t is be-
lieved there will be n general re-
Spouse on the part of physicians and
sanitary officers OF the state. DIR. j.

Brought Back no Gold.

While Congressman Wilson was
making a speeck at Beverly, w. Va.
the other day, a voice interrupted
him to ask rs to the truth OF repub-
lican report that Mr.. Wilson had
brought with him British gold to aid
him in a free trade campaign. To
this Mr.. Wilson replied:

The Union has been remarkably
tame on the subject of candidates
during the campaign SO far, it hav-
ing contentcd itself with publishing
and rehashing lot Of rubbish about
Sheriff Gordon which was started as
n canard iu the first place and the
the Union bit ut it. As to the
republican candidates, however,
they have gone begging for sup
port, as far as the mouthpiece OF
the paper is concerned. 1t may be
that Chairman Collins feels SO absO-
lutely sanguine Of success that he
does not want the Union to spoil it
by saying anything. The great CON-
bined labor and political boss will
find when the votes are counted Nov.
8 that he has again counted his chick
