ABSOLUTELY PURE
HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATED,

Sacred Heart College Wins at Football
Good Game Played Saturday.
The first football game of the season
was played Saturday afternoon on the
Sacred Heart college field between the
eleven Of that institution and the High
school eleven. Considering the fact
that this is the first year the High
school has had team, and the Sacred
Heart boys are also green at the game,
having practiced but little, the contest
was well played and quite exciting.
The Sacred Hearts are much heavier
than their opponents, their line aver
aging $50 pounds, while the High
school line averages only about $50
pounds. Both teams have good mater
ial and with proper coaching ard
training will develop considerable
strength. Saturdays contest was unus-
ually free from brutality and uncalled
for roughness, the players on the whole
conducting themselves as young gentle
men should.
All through the game the High school
was on the defensive and had poses
sion of the ball. but little The Sacred
Hearts bucked the line repeatedly for
gains, their greater weight carrying
them through. They seldom tried an
end play, Reinhard being the only man
they used to advantage in this way.
Two long runs by him and one by
Miller were features of the game, as
was also the tackling Of Johnson
Sacred Heart scored a touchdown in
the first half, and another in the
second half, goal being kicked both
times. Their other two points we're
made off safety touchdown by Fred
rich, Of the High school, who secured
the ball in the second half and with a
clear field before him had an excellent
chance to score for his side, but he
made the error of entering the wrong
goal. The game consisted Of twenty
minute halves, with an inter.nix ;on of
ten minutes.

Besides the widow, he is survived by

The deceased was a person who be-

gan diligent search for a livelihood.
He came down the Great Lakes to To-

SILVERTHORN SPEAKS.

Hon. w. c. Silverthorn, the fusion
candidate for governor, spoke at the
first big free silver meeting of the cam
paign, held ia Turner Opera house
Friday evening. The hall was crowded
and the stage occupied by leading local
lights of the cheap money movement.
Hon. John G. Conway introduced Mr..
Silverthorn, who at first paid some at
tentlOn to state issues, out rapidly
turned his remarks to his favorite sub
ject of money Although suffering from
a severe cold, he went into exhaustive
details and held his hearers fully two
hours OF course, the free silver fol-
lowers term the speech a wonderful
production and think it near perfection
as regards correct exposition of the
money question, while on the other
hand it is spoken of by gold standard
advocates as a very weak effort. The
truth is. our citizens had much more to
expect in the line of argument from q
free silver standpoint than Mr.. Silver
thorn gave them. He is the original
and most notable silver crank OF Wis
consin, and people have right to sup
pose that he has more argument for his
cause than be presented here. His
speech, like that Of all orators of his
stripe, was filled with appeals to pre-
JUDGE, endeavors to array class against
class. and the like. He twisted the
British Lions tail once or twice, spoke
ironically of some German commercial
nations, and read portions of law and
opinions. Mr.. Silverthorn's speech is
not considered to have made any con-
yerts to the free silver cause in Water
town.
