SEASON CLOSED
BY 1--WE, Defeats witha Badly Crippled
Team.

The football season of '96 is now
closed and a glance at the scores is all
that is required TO show us that as
present constituted, Te don't have a
team of world heaters. But it is
feadily recognized by all who have
witnessed any of the games that the
line is inyincible, the ends being pruD-
ably the weakest points and here none
will deny but we have excellent men.
1t is Behind the line that we are la
mentally weak Oar backs are too
slow in starting and but poor runners
after getting under Roadway and
while excellent line buckers are not
in it on end runs. This will serve to
explain the low scores made against
teams which we clearly outclassed at
every point. At full back we have a
kicker that for accuracy and strength
cannot be surpassed. He is a good
line bucker, fine tackler and will
make with experience one OF the best
on the grid iron. While the season
has not been replete with victories
it must be remembered that this year
not team was played that is not
pretty fast company and some of them
are the best in the country. Leaving
the Lafayette scores out, where we
were entirely 0utciassed, we have w.
V. @, IA, opponents II. When we re-
member that in eight games only II
points were scored against us by very
strong teams It is seen that our record
is nothing to be ashamed Of.
Financially the season has been 2
success in spite of the unfavorable
circumstances and we close 1t free
from debt On the whole we are
proud Of our team and heartily con-
graduate it on the grit, determine
ton and gentlemanly conduct that 1t
has displayed at all times. Next
year we hope to wipe out some old
scores and wish most heartily to get d
whack at w. 4 j. whose cowardice
prevented meeting this year. The
complete scores are as foil OWs.

| desire through your columns to
make few corrections in regard to
some reports that were circulated that
my father was given corn bread and
large quantities of buttermilk and to
wind up was given roasted apple
which caused his death, and that he
was not properly cared for. l want
it understood right here that these
reports are lies from the ground up,

Deaths.

HAYEs-Charles A., son of Henry
S., decd, and Mrs. Anna Hayes, aged
about 81 years, at IL o'clock Friday
morning, Nov. 9th. His death was
caused by consumption and came as
great surprise to his large circle of
friends as he by his indomitable will
power had utterly refused to take to
his bed and remained at his place of
business to the very last. Those who
knew him as friend bear testimony
to his loyalty under all circumstances.
Quiet, unassuming and kind he at
tracted all with whom he became in
contact by the gentleness and sweet
ness of his disposition. AS business
man he set an example that might be
followed with profit by all. No greater
eulogy could be pronounced than the
simple words ola life long friend. "He
always tried to do what's right"
Nothing grander could be penned nor
could sweeter praise be given to the
memory Of any one than this simple
testimonial to the departed. He was
connected with many business enter
prises of the town and they all
felt the force of his strong personality,
being Secretary of the strongest Build
ing Association the town has ever
had. Other of the enterprises that
he was interested in owe their success
in great measure to his efforts. He
was for years a consistent member of
the p. E. Church and died in the full
hope of glorious resurrection. He
was inferred by the Odd Fellows of
which lodge he was member and was
followed to his tomb by the largest
funeral procession ever seen here, the
public testifying in this eloquent man.
ner to the love and esteem they held
for him. His loss is keenly felt and
years will elapse before another can
take his place. His bereaved relatives
have the sympathy of large circle of
friends and the hope of joyous reun-
ion beyond the dark river where dis
ease and pain are never found.

Last Thursday the University Re-
serves drove over to Waynesburg to
play the college team over there.
About twenty persons were in the
party. The game took place in the
afternoon and resulted in victory
for Waynesburg by score of SO to 0.
Our opponents averaged fully ITO
pounds and seven of the eleven men
were ringers, not being college men.
The big towards repeatedly slugged
their weaker opponents and their dis
graceful tactics were uniformly de-
nounced by all the decent people of
the town. Their referee displayed
the most colossal ignorance of the
rules and would not enforce those
that were called to his attention. OF
course defeat was inevitable with the
odds against us, but had a fair game
been played the score would undoubt-
eddy been smaller. Then to cap the
climax not content with the dirty
treatment, the Waynesburg manage
ment refused to pay the whole guar
antee as they claimed that the second
team did not come according to con-
tract. Taking this contemplate
method of classifying to avoid the
payment of an honest debt. Suit
will be brought at once to compel its
payment as a matter of principle.

Yesterday party Of men from Pal

so back of Palatine az the farm OF
Charles Gallahue, and a boy named
Adams, son OF George Adams, in en-
deavoring to locate rabbit, discover
ca the remains Of man in the edge OF

had been hidden partly By the logs and

to the inhabitants OF that Section as

slightly into the earth owing to the re-

though sometimes they would find
tough places where 1t was necessary to
use knife. An excellent pair of No.

the soles had been but slightly used
when the man came to death. His
hand was stretched out fat, the flesh
had all decayed, and one or two of the
joints had been severed, probably by
some small animals, who had preyed
on the remains. No ring was found
on the fingers of either hand, no Jew
elry at all on his person. and not a
single paper In any of his pockets that
might give clue by which he could
be recognized and his identity deter

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Tonight Sutton Vanes latest melo-
drama. "The Cotton King" will be seen
at the Academy of Music. While it is
an English melOdrama it has much
which appeals strongly to American
audiences. The part played by
Jack Osborn is Yankee who has
made fortune in the cotton business
in the South and has gone to England
to purchase factory and introduce
Yankee IDEAS. He falls deeply i'm love
with an English girl and then begin
his troubles for he has a rival not only
for her affections but also i'm business
way. The villain tries to make out that
the hero is 4 scOundrel, Il thief and
flnally an insane man and also tries to
get the heroine out of the way by bring
ing her I'm contact with contagious dis
ease and by forcing her beneath the
pondero,ls car of a heavy freight ele
vator. In all of these schemes he fails
and virtue is triumphant as in all we'll
ordered melodramas. Those who do not
know how calico is printed can get an
excellent idea of the work in the splen
