Echoes of Foot.Ball.

.
Now that the football season is over the
BARRIERS ought to have u rich harvest
Kansas City Times.
1t is greatly to be feared that Congress
will prove a poor substitute for football
as q topic of conversation.-Omaha Bee.
1t may not be necessary to suppress
football as a game but certainly the brutal
features which now characterize it should
be suppressed.-New York World.
The opinions of football experts show
that football can easily be made a game
of skill instead of n competition in bru-
tally. The rules must be so changed as
to bring this about or football as a college
sport is doomcd.-New York World.
Walter Camp, who is called the father
of American football, has no hair what
ever on the top of his head. Considering
the football style of hair it is difficult to
see how MIR. Camp worked his way up in
the business.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The future existence of American i'm
tercollegiate football is Mt stake. Unless
umpires devoid of cowardice and able to
see each play as it is made can be found
football is about to degenerate into nero
pugilism and plug-uglyism, n brutal dis.
play of rough-and-tumble fighting such as
may sometimes be seen in the Bowcry
dives of New York. and respectable col
leges and universities will be forced by
public opinion to prohibit the sport.-Bos.
ton Advertiser.

70 BUILD A RAILROAD FROM
THE BLACK HILLS.
How the nome.take Plant Turns Out The
Yellow Metal at the Rate of Half u
Million Dollars q Month-Judge Roberts
Favor the Torrens System.
From tho n,l,. to the Missouri,


Judge w. T. Coad, of Rapid City,
In a~n.interview at st. Louis, Mo-, said:
"There is moro interest manifested
just now in mining incur country than
there has been for years past. There
have recently been some rich veins
and pockets disc ,vered, and old mines
are being protitably rcworked by now
methods, which involve the scientific
extraction of the precions metals by
chemicals, etc.
Our people have determined to
build a RAILROAD from the Black Hills
to tho Missouri River, which is dis
lance of about 800 miles. 1 have the
honor to head this movement and am
proud of the public soirit manifested.
We have already o sructed thirty
seven mills of this roal-from one side
of the Black Hills to the other,
through suitable passes in the noun
tains-and we propose to push the pro.
ject to an early completion. We de-
sire to be friends to ST. Louis, and feel
that q closer business relation should
be cultivated. The trans-M Mississippi
congress is in the right limo and en-
courages the complete union of the
south and west. This union is coming,
and is one OF the hopeful signs of the
times. st. Louis is the natural me-
tropolis for this vast and exceedingly
rich country"

New York,s Bank Robberv,

The defaulting bookkeepcr of the Shoe
and Leather Bank didn't drink, smoke or
chew. He was simply a thief without
Observation-Disclosures Post.
The question which the dcfalcation at
the Shoe and Leather Bank has suggested
to everybody is, Why the inspection of the
books which revealed the fraud was not
made sooner.-New York Post.
If the Shoe and Leather Bank of New
York City had taken some lessons from
the Syracuse banks, it would not now be
mourning the loss of more than n third of
u million dollars.-Syracuse Post.
If you wv a national bank, you had
better take it home and tie it up in your
back yard over night, or the seventeenth
assistant bookkccper or fourteenth vice
messenger may get it away from you.-
New York World.
The latest bank dcfalncation is of suf-
icient proportions to direct the attention
of bank officials to their bookkccpcrs, as
well as to their cashiers and %tellers.
y - v The lesson here taught is a use
full one but it is rather expensivc.-Bos-

WHEAT FED TO STOCK.
Government Report on the Amour.
Used for This Purpose.


Used for This Purpose.
The Washington Statistical Bureau OF
the Agricultural Department estimates
the amount of wheat already fed to live
stock up to Oct. 30 at 46,O3O,OOO bushels,
and the amount to be fed at %, .OO0
bushels, making the total 75,3O3. OO0
bushels. These figures are merely the
meager estimates from those States
where correspondents have complied with
the requests of the department, and
should not be taken as more than an at.
tempt at approximation of total feeding
of wheat from the present supply. The
severity and length of the winter will
necessarily influence the final findings
upon this question. :.
William Dunn bought 10000 bushels of
wheat at Toledo Tuesday to fill ii foreign
order. Wednesday he tried to buy some
more there. but none was offered for
sale. There are more than S5,OOO,OOO
bushels i'll sight in this country and Cam
ada, upward of 26,OOO.OOO bushels
being stored i'll Chicago elevators, and it
seems odd that none of these elevators
want to sell any. Millions of bushels of
wheat are specialized in every day, but
actual cash transactions are.insigniiicant
most of the time on the Beard of Trade.
