western Contest NJ Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Thc foot ball game
between the Northwestern university and
Beloit college came very nearly resulting
In riot. Although this was avoided by
prompt action, the bittercst kind of feel
ing was engccdercd between the friends of
the opposing teams, and there were a
number of personal encounters During
the progress of the game Thorne, the
Northwestern lcft-guard, for some IN
known reason struck Baker, the Beloit
half-bacE. q tremendous blow in the face,
breaking his nose and stretching him un-
conscious on the grass. The attack was
apparently entirely unprovoked and in an
instant Thornc was surrounded by the
entire Beloit team. Many spectators
crowded over the ropes to see that their
men We're given fair show If it came tc u
fight.
In a short time the two teams were sur
rounded by 200 half-crazy students from
both colleges, in the midst of whom large
police detail which had been sent to pre-
serve order ut the game was utterly
pOwerless. The members of the teams
cursed each other right and left, and it
seemed as if the game was bound to end
in a riot. Finally IA few cooler heads
cleared the field and ne game proceeded.
Thorne was ruled off the field.

A Woman Whose Daughter Has Been Kid
naped Tells Lurid Tale.

hlpeu leIIS u lales
OTTUMwA, Ia, Oct. Mrs. Bishop,
mother of Oracle Harper, who was kid
napcd from this city last Friday morning,
has disclosed the plans of band of thieves
and counterfciters who have operated in
and around Omaha and Council Bluffs for
years. Her first husband. named Harper,
is said to bc a member of the band.
Among numerous crimes she detailed was
that of counterfe;tirg, which she says the
men carried o.: 20 Il large extent. Harper
is now very rich and made his money
through the workings of what used to be
known as the Nidette society, which ope-
rated in the west. The business Of the
band was to manufacture spurious money,
make duplicate bonds, work themselves
into high offices, and to Use these high
positions for the purpose OF working off the
money and bonds.
Among the members of the band whom
Mrs. Bishop mentioned was senator who
lives in Nevada. She claims that the band
numbers up in the hundreds, and that
many of the members are in high posi-
tions. She has often heard the oath of the
society administered and named TO the
correspondent the different punishmcnts.
Mrs. Bishop claims she has secrets which,
if divulged. would shake every large city
in the west to its foundation. The miss
ing girl is highly educated and has visited
all the courts of Europe in her travels.

Boston, Oct. 7.-Thc Massachusetts Re-

no sensational features. What opposition
was made tu the majority was simply a
demonstration Of the strength of the opposi-
lion and there was no contest over the
nominations.
The platform Is for protective tariff
without being pledged to any schedules;
opposes the free coinage of silver Mt
any ratio nor established by International
agreement, ccclaring gold the proper
standard, anG declares that this hcmi-
sphere is no longer a subject for European
colonization, or aggressive and oppressive

nations without clustering, towards Great
Britain without cringing, but always de-

now as a climax with crushing weight

1t was not Graham's purpose 10 tell
what no knew-for the sake of an old
friendship, for the memory Of his college
days with Durrant, Graham had held back

lice that Durrant had asked him for his
notes, but he did not wish 20 tell the prose-
ircutior the whole story and repeat Dur
rants confession that ne had no notes of

did not wish to injurc his classmates case,
but now he has destroyed its last support.
He has given the prosecution what they
