FAVOR MOTT FOR COACH,
Students Appoint an Executive
Committee to Manage Foot
ball Affairs.
Wedding of DR. J. C. Merriam and
Miss Ada Little Announced.
Interesting News.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 8.-Charles Z.
Mott, who assisted Butterworth this sea-
son, will probably be Berkeley's football
coach next year. According TO the pres
emf sentiment Of those i'll charge of the
selection of a football institution, no
special Eastern coach will be secured,
the services of Mott who is an instructor
in botany, being obtainable and regarded
as sufficient.
The choice was virtually announced by
Professor Edwards at a meeting of the
Associated Students this afternoon. The
meeting was called for the purpose of dis
GUESSING the proposition to place football
matters in the hands of an executive COM
mittee consisting of the coach, the di-
rector of physical culture and an alum
nus.
After general discussion the students
decided upon next Thursday as day for
voting on the proposed appointment of
committee. If the proposition should
be carried an executive committee will at
once be appointed which will have full
charge of the football season to end with
Thanksgiving, 1897.
Two mem ers of the committee are
practically certain. They are Professor
Magee, the director of physical culture,
and the coach, Mott. The alurnnus who
is to be the third committee man is prob
ably Colonel Edwards. Other men
spoken of for the place are Oscar Taylor
and L. +. Hunt.
For the Carnot Medal.
BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 8.-The inter-
collegiate debate for the Carnot medal
will be held on the second Friday evening
in February at Stanford University, upon
the following subject: rs the French
system of superior education more con-
IN ba ualf 0g 70 hn,
would be like system to that of the
United States2"
The debate will be held at Palo Alto in
accordance with the expressed wish of The
Stanford men. They claim that Berkeley
has had too much of an advantage because
OF the numerous debates between the two
universities which have been held in
Berkeley and in San Francisco where the
sympathy of the audiences lay largely
with the University of California. No
sides or speakers have yet been chosen.

Mother Quinn, a Character
Upon Alameda Streets,
Found Dead.
Manager Rank Denies That the Ala.
media Line Will Enter the
Realty Syndicate.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. S.-Mrs. Gather
inc Quinn, miserably poor and decrepid
old woman of more than Sc years OF age,
and familiary known to thousands of
this city as Mother" Quinn, is at last be-
yond the ills and woes of this world of
sorrow. Her body was found in Brick
yard Slough, beyond the tidal canal,
where IL crosses High street. The remains
were first discovered by some school
children, and soon hundred or more
urchins were gazing upon the repulsive
scene. she was clad in the rags that have
covered her for years past and was taken
for man at first owing to the growth of
hair upon her chin.
s. S. Austin, W. Lam bert and Mr.. Kim
ball were attracted to the spot by the
gathering of children. AS soon as they
discovered the cause Mr.. Austin notified
the Coroner, and a deputy took the re-
mains to the morgue in Oakland. 1t is
supposed that in her senility she wan
dered from her home. 1912 Everett street,
last evening and roamed about until an
early hour this morning, when she sank
or fell exhausted in the slough to drown.
Mother" Quinn had resided here nearly
a quarter Of century, being native of
Ireland. She had property valued at
$1,000, but it was mortgaged for $500. Her
only cnlld, daughter past 60, was her
companion. The latter had been in a
lunatic asylum on two occasions, and the
mother was dependent upon charity. The
Supervisors refused her aid because she
owned property, but the Woman's Ex-
CHI an &c had been helping her of late.

Opera House Talk Again.

The opera house scheme is again up
for consideration but upon basis that
will come nearer of realization than
anything previous. The Koch prop
erty is now owned by Jos. L. Scheuer
of Milwaukee, having purchased the
same last week. Mr.. Scheuer spent
Monday in the city in looking over his
new acquisition and he is confident that
the building can be converted into an
opera house. At present his plans are
indefinite but he will soon send an
architect to Mitchell who will draw the
plans for the proposed improvements
after which he will start his men to
work. Mr.. Scheuer says that he will
put improvements to the amount of
$1,000 on the building and while he
does not ask any financial assistance
he simply asks q guarantee from a
certain number OF men that he will
receive fair income from the building.
The lines on which he proposes to
build will make the building one of the
finest opera houses in the state, having
as it will balcony, parquette and all
accessories Of a city theatre.

sentiment as to the erection of q new
building and portion of the afternoon
was spent in looking over several build
ings with the ia of renting, but none
OF the buildings seemed to suit the pur-
pose OF the creamery. The basement,
OF the Koch building was first inspected
but the repairs necessary to put it in

was found impracticable, A number of
plans wore discussed but nothing of

a Feeling OF Gloom Pervades the City
Over Mr., Lawier's Death.
From Wednesdays Day)
Yesterday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock
H. r. Aibbee received a telegram from
Sioux City that j. D. Lawler died dur
ing the day Of apoplexy. The news
at once passed from one to another,
but on every hand the news seemed to
be doubted. 1t was seemingly impos-
sibe that it could be true. Small
groups of men discussed the sad affair
in whispered tones and all expressed
great regret that death had come to
the man who had always proven a
strong friend and loyal citizen to
Mitchell.
Mrs. Lawler was down town late in
the afternoon, but little dreamed OF
the sad information which was even
then being discussed on the street.
She was informed of Mr.. ,Lawler's
death about five o'clock, the hard task
being performed by Mrs. j. E. Gilbert.
At first Mrs. Lawler was dazed by the
information and could not believe the
import OF the terrible words Sympa-
thizing friends went at once to Mrs.
Lawler to do what they could for her
in her time of bereavement. 1t was at
first decided to brilg the body of Mr..
Lawler to MITCHELL but the arrange
ments were changed later for Mrs.
Lawler to 60 to Sioux City. The Mil.
waukee company placed special train
at her command and in company with
small party Of friends the special
pulled out for Sioux City at 9:25 that
night. On board the train were Mrs.
j. E. Gilbert, DR.. Bobb who was called
to attend Mrs. Lawler on the journey
there being some fear that his services
would be needed, Geo. E. Logan. 7. G.
Burns, j. D. Wood, and r. D. Welch
The special made the run of l37 miles
in trifle over three hours and arrived
there at r. Il, the party being met at
the train by Joseph Lawler The
special arrived about We o'clock this
morning and it was hoped that some
definite information would be brought
back but owing to the short time the
train was in Sioux City nothing further
was learned.
Mr.. Lawler went to Sioux City last
Saturday on business and was Joined
Monday by Geo. E. Logan, of the First
National bank. On that evening they
had conference and were to meet
again early Tuesday morning, so1 that
Mr.. Logan could come on home and
Mr. Law'er then intended going on
east. Mr. Logan did not see him at

The Returning Editors.

Quite a number of the newspaper
boys passed through the city Satul-
day on their way home from the meet
ing Of the press association at Redield !,
and they reported having received
royal treatment at the hands of Red
field people. The affair closed with a
banquet Friday night which was at
tended by 800 guests. Chas. Allen, ed
itor of the Brookings Press, was ex-
PEELED from the association for having
sold editorial mileage which is strictly
against the rules of the association. A
side meeting OF the Republican editors
was held and they decided to form a
Republican editorial league and meet
ing will De called at Mitchell for March
13 when the organization will be
formed.
