The teams lined up MS follows:

linesmcu, Campbell, Osborne,
Driver received slight injuries dur
ing the first half and Mcconnell
assumed his position.
Darlington won the toss, and Harris
sent the ball far down in Darlington's
territory, where 1t was downed without
gain. After four attemps to make
the chalk line Mineral Point took the
ball Bennett yelled signal that
seemed as though all the honor con-
nected with a foot ball match rested
on its execution. 1t sent a whirling
interference through tackle and end
with crash and bang that made
chances seem small for Darlington to
again hug the oval darling. Holes
were found all along the Darlington
line, and soon the same whirling inter
ference sent Harris behind the goal.
Hoare kicked the goal. Score-Min-
eral Point, G. Darlington, 0.
Darlington now kicked off, and a
long gain by Hoare and three downs
carried the ball to the center. II was
lost on tumble, then the same throw
found it in Mineral Points possession.
After small gain It was lost on downs
and when the whistle blew for the
first half it was in Mineral Points
possession near Darlington's goal.
The second half was as brisk and
snappy as the first. Good interference
with both teams and good line smash
ing made the game interesting. Oar
lington kicked out of bounds, but on
the second kick kicked short. Hoare
caught with good gain, and the ball
swayed to and fro, until line smash
with Point made good gain. This
was followed by others and wedge
sent Hoare over the line. He came
out and kicked the goal. Score =
Mineral Point, IL; Darlington, 0.
We should distinguish the good
tackling by Hoare, Buss and Harris;
they were a match for Darlington's
leetest, and Bambrough had way
Of his own to break up their inter
ference. 1t was noticed that all
the Darlington men that found their
way behind the line ran alone, leaving
their shattered interference behind.
No game will be played Saturday,,

THE PRESENT A GOOD TIME.

The same spirit that glorifies and
idealizes the past, belittles and de-
means the present. Two lovers, dur
ing their courtship, look forward with
anticipation to their marriage. After
marriage they look back with pleasant
recollection to the days of their court
ship. "Ah, those were the days. they
say "of dreamy romance and poetry,
those were the days of song and senti-
ment, of laughter and love-" The poet
Campbell was right" there is en-
chantment in distance.
But it is good philosophy of life to
regard the present as the very best
time.
We would not go SO far as to say
with Pope. Whatever is, is right, !"
but, whatever is, is the best, until we
can get something BETTER Such a
philosophy of life is worth more to a
man than wealth, for it is the very
secret of happiness. The present is a
good time, and will soon be a part of
the illimitable past, and then we shall
look upon it and glorify it.
A man who is governed by this phil
osophy can make every year of his life,
barring disease, accident, and afflic-
ton, happier than the preceding year.
Work becomes less burdensome to him,
he learns to accustom himself more
readily to the difficulties and hard
ships of his environment; he has a
more responsive eye to the beauties of
nature; he takes greater zest il OBJ
servation; he enjoys literature. art.
music with keener susceptibilities; his
experiences teach him more; he is more
of man. He is happier than the man
of the past, for he is an heir of the past
and the present. Siftings.

A TRUE SNAKE STORY.

Mr.. M. H. Hill, living at Taylor, La,
just in the edge of Webster, tells the
following snake story, for the truth of
which he vouches:
His little son Harry went into the
nursery the other night TO get his ball,
which he remembered to have dropped
behind trunk in the corner. Presently
the little fellow came running out, say
ing that in the dark he had stepped
upon snake with his bare feet. Mr..
Hill was just starting out to the barn
to feed the stock, and had a lantern in
his hand. Going hurriedly into the
nursery he set the lantern down on the
floor. whereupon big black chicken
snake came gliding out from behind
the trunk, making straight for the
light, flashing and butting at it as if
trying to turn it over.
Hill stepped on the snake, MASKING
it's head off, which he threw out the
window. Then taking the reptile by
the tail, he carried it out with him,
throwing it away in the lot as he
passed on to the stables The next
morning little Harry was out playing
uni the house and came running in
to say that the snake had come back.
When Hill went out to investigate, he
found the snake had actually crawled
back a distance of some thirty feet, and
was comfortably coiled up under the
house, having left his head behind
him.
Already good many specimens OF
the thunder snake have made thei1
appearance in this section. This cur
ious reptile no doubt belong to the
glass snake family. which is, properly
speaking. true lizard. In color il
is quite beauty, being composed Of
alternate rings Of red and white, and
the length is anywhere from six TIC
eighteen inches. The popularity Of
this snake lies in it's ability to repro
duce lost parts of it's body. The
negroes hereabout say that these snakes
fall to pieces whenever it thunders, but
that they afterwards Ego back together
again." so that it is practically impos.
sible to destroy them.-Speoial Cores

DECIDEDLY ORIGINAL.

There are most exemplary benevolent
people, who regard any article that
has ever been of use as an appropriate
ingredient of missionary box. Some
years since a prodigious wire hustle
found its way into a large barrel of
clothing sent to missionary for dis
tribution among some of the poorest
and most ignorant negroes of the south.
An elderly negro named Nose jack
son happened to be present when the
barrel was opened.
He had nearly bakers dozen" Of
half-naked children, and some of the
clothing was given him for them. The
hustle aroused little indignation in
the missionary, and she threw "the
thing" aside, when Uncle Nose picked
it up and asked if he could have it.
"Oh. yes" said the missionary,
take it along with you. Perhaps you
can make some use of the wires in it. I"
The next Sunday Mrs. Nose Jackson
appeared at the little mission church
in bonnet that was the envy and de-
spair of all the sisters present and a
matter Of no little surprise and dismay
to the missionary. After church the
missionary made it convenient to take
Mrs. Nose jackson and say to her:

you get that dreadful bonnet'?'

NOT A QUESTION OF DEBT.

All kinds of lodges are being re-
sorted to for the purpose of confusing
the public mind in reference to the
issue in the school, election to be held
on Wednesday, One of them is the
pretence that candidate for the Of
flee of a member of that board poses
as opposed to creating a debt for a
high school and that is followed by
a quotation from the state constitution
in reference to debts.
That is not the question. 1t is the
assessment of a tax by the Board of
Education to erect building for the
high school the lowest estimate of the
cost Of which is 100000. 1t is not pro-
posed to create debt to that amount
but to collect it by taxes of the people
of this city.
The lawyer" who raises the ques-
ton in the columns of the paper that
is determined to have a Board of Edu-
cation run by Republicans for the
benefit of Republicans and in the in
terest Of Republicans, might have
saved his legal lore, for the quotation
he makes has no bearing at all on
the question at issue.

MUNICIPAL EXPENSES.
liladelphia has been figuring on her

Philadelphia has been figuring on her
expenses for the coming year. Close
figuring shows the expenditures will be
some $50, 100000, and close figuring
shows that the revenue in sight
amounts only to $4,000, 900. That is not
a pleasing prospect for the city. And
the case of Philadelphia is much that
of other cities. Chicago, held up as the
typical go-ahead American city, is run
ming behind right along. And what is
Of more immediate interest to us is that
out own little city of Salt Lake is do
ing the same thing. Anyone can see
that the trouble is that expenses far
exceed income. 1t should not be so.
EStimat ties of municipal revenue and
expenditures are usually made on the
theory that the income will exceed
what calculations are based on and
that expenses will be less than estima-
ted, while the very reverse is always
the case. The only way to calculate
municipal expenditures is the one for
figuring the cost of building house,
which is to take the architects figures,
have a more or less correct approx
nation of the actual cost.
A new City Council and Mayor will
soon take control of our municipal af-
fairs. We hope they will take hold of
them with the intention and determine
alton of serving the public interest be-
fore all things, and that interest de-
mands first of all a minimum of ex-
penditures. If they shall make ex-
penses come within the revenue and
create surplus, no matter how small,
they will have earned and will receive
the gratitude of the citizens of Salt
Lake And in no other way can they
SO we'll serve their party. The people
want efficient and economical govern
ment and they will support the party
that will give it to them.

A LITTLE TARIFF TINkERING.

The New York Tribune thinks that
all the trouble over deficits would. be
remedied by the passage of a bill, not
very long one, by Congress, if ap-
proved by the President restoring the
duties of the Mckinley bill on GER
tain articles. These articles are flax,
hemp and their manufactures; silk
goods, wool and woolens. In addition
to this there should be some special
provisions as to earthenWare, tin plate
and glass. This, of course would re-
peal the provisions of the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff. BY doing this, the Tri-
bune thinks some $44000,000 would be
added to the revenue Whether or not
that amount of revenue would be real
lied as a result of these proposed
changes if made, is conjectural CaIcu-
lations as to what would be realized
from such duties are generally hased
on the amounts imported under the
present tariff. 1t is not at all probable
that, with increased duties they would
equal what they are under the pres
ent tariff.
While the wool growers would be
well pleased to have a heavy tariff
imposed on wool, when the proposition
is made in Congress they will find
a very heavy opposition from wool
consumers; and their voice will be far
more potent than the wool growers are
apt to think.
Such a bill as the Tribune proposes
is not likely to receive the Presidents
approval, for it would be surrender
of his position, and the position of his
party, on the tariff question. What the
Tribune suggests is apparently in the
interest of the nation, and nothing
more.
If the Republican party is really
willing to sacrifice politics for patriot
ism, why will it not consent to an
increase in the internal taxes? 1t is
calculated that tax of dollar a bar
rel on beer would furnish an addi-
tional revenue of $4,000, 900. A slight
increase in the tax on whisky and on
tobacco would furnish many millions
more. Nor would such taxes tend to
in any way unsettle business, thing
that tariff legislation always does.
What Congress will do no one can
tell, but the people will not welcome
much tariff tinkering, :lor stand it.
