First Line Up Of the Season Last Night

Theoretical Instruction = Professor
Hodges as Field Director Several
Games will be Played in Morgantown
but what and when have not yet been
Decided.
The first line up OF the season was
held last night. The men weredivided
into two teams and played as whole
remarkably well. McWhorter our clev-
er quarter back puntcd and tackled
like fiend. Noble who promises to
be one OF the best half-backs the uni
versity ever had, has speed TO burn.
Last year we had but one first class
punter This year In addition TO Yea
ger who has, IL that be possible, inn
proved greatly, Noble and McWhorter,
who make with ease beautiful punts.
Cole who has played for several years,
is again In practice. He is slow to
start but when once In motion 1t
would require an Empire express to
overtake him. Were this fault cor
rected we would have TO look no far
Their for man to trot In double har-
ness with Noble.
The centre Is strong that is so far as
brute strength Is concerned but they
are too slow. They ought to be given
an injection Of activity. Theoretical
instruction will be given Saturday by
White, Krebs and Yeager. This Is
an Important part OF foot ball train
ing. You can't play properly IL you
are In ignorance OF the technique of
the game.
Prof. Hodges our new Field Direc-
tor was out to see the practice yester-
day and the interest he took in the
game convinced the undergraduates
that the board made no mistake when
they appointed him.
Our schedule has not yet been com.
pleted but will in week or so be en-
tirely filled. Several games on the
home ground will be played. In past
years the games here have been
financial loss. There Is no occasion
for a such thing happening. Ev-
cry student should turn out and s'rootn
for the team. don't think there is
a student here who can't afford to pur-
chase ticket. Ii there is one how
ever who cannot, Manager Romine will
give him one gratis on application. So
there Is no reason why every student
shouldn't be present whenever we play
on the home grounds. CHIcoT.

walnut lumber from j. and u.
STERLING Of MasOntOwn. Pa,

William o. Musgrave last night
completed deal whereby he becomes
the purchaser OF the largest lot OF wal
nut lumber bought ia this county for
a number OF years. 10000 feet are
in the lot purchased. 1t was owned
by j. and 4. w. Sterling, of Mason
town, Pa. and they have had it for
several years. Some of it has been cut
and piled for Gen years. It is all saw
ed and ready for shipment. 1t will be
exported going to London, England,
via Philadelphia.
This deal is one which Mr.. Mus
grave has been working for some time
but until yesterday he could reach no
basis of agreement with the owners.
The lumber business is looking up con-
siderably in this section after the long
period of depression. Nobody is sorry
OF this condition of affairs but hope
that it will prove permanent.

Rain Comes ut Last.

After hot spell of nearly two
weeks without a drop of moisture fall
ing fine rain visited us last night.
The mercury had been trying to butt
the top off the thermometers for the
entire time. Everybody had suffered
intensely from the heat which grew
fiercer from day to day. The weather
man foretold cooler weather but 1t
came not. Finally he tried to get it
by saying that the high temperature
would continue with no rain. Again
he slipped up. A fine rain came.
The weather is cool and pleasant. The
dust is laid and life is endurable again.
Thunder storms and heavy gales are
promised us but whether or not they
will materialize time will show.

EDNA KITCHENS MATTER.


The murderess, Edna Kitchens, is
still at large, and as far as known no
efforts are being made to apprehend
her and bring her to justice. There
have been rumors in circulation the
past day or two concerning her, one
to the effect that she recently had her
foot amputated. 1t will he remem-
bered that when she threw the acid
on her victim, Vim. Beatty, some of
1t fell ON her foot, and it was at Mrs.
Beatty's home at Meadville where she
had her foot dressed by physician.
The latest story is that after she had
made her escape from there, the injur-
ed foot became worse, blood poisoning
setting in, and that it was necessary
to amputate her foot to save her life.

Scarcity Of Cars.

Shippers from all along this line
are complaining about scarcity of
cars for shipping their lumber, bark
and other wares. IL Is almost impos-

scarcity is due to the railroads using
the bulk OF their cars getting the
grain crop to market, and ii is not ex-
pected to continue long. Local ship

And thus is it with the opportuni-
ties of life. They do not troop up to
us with the blare of trumpets. AS
silently as the sun do they pass us by
and as supremacy Indifferent to ne
glect do they sink out of sight. In
visible to the eye of the savage is the
modern war-ship buried in bed of
iron ore. Just so invisible are most
opportunities except to the eyes of
compelling faith. The iron-clad is
there, the opportunities are here, all
round us free as air and discoverable
by every man with full faculties, who
! will take OF his time freely, mingle it
with strength of purpose and direct
his operations with intelligence. He
it is who makes highways across
trackless deserts: who dares out on
deeps even if alone; who, ever dis
satisfied with those things where
unto our race has attained, moves us
forward along new lines, dragging us
to betterment by his own forces. He
1T is who is ever harassed by the in
dolept who will not act, and the
faithless who will not believe in op-
portunity, until it materialzes before
their very eyes. But what of the
harvest? To such man, no matter
how barren his life may first promise
to be, there is creditable career, not
perhaps of money-grubbing, but, at
any rate OF honest, upright living and
kindly benevolence. And to the
others? They see in themselves when
buffetings come and difficulties,
special objects of personal spite on
the part Of the Almighty; they crawl
off to escape the hardships; and, when
they come to themselves as life is
waning, see nothing worthy of race
that has suffered, and sweated and
travelled for every single inch it has
gained in morals or in materials.
They have enjoyed some Of its gains,
but they have added naught to its
store. Their hearts starve and memo
ries perish.
Cease then to curse the bitter blows of
fate,
No goal is easy whose reward is great.
Each barrier won will heart and
strength renew,
Each step assembled gives wider view.

Does the sun make any audible
noise as it peeps over the hilltop in
the morning? Does it summon the
farmer to duty with persistent calls
and shakings? No. the day comes
silently; silently does it grow and
wane, and silently does it pass and
without protest, even if unimproved.
The farmers utilization of time does
not originate from any compelling
force in the. power of daylight, but
from a purpose within his heart to
make the most of his farm in the
days that the passing seasons give
him. Combining his powers with the
powers of nature that he can control,
the barren place can be made to
flourish, and out of the parched
grounds come forth food, While the
idle farmer frets and fumes and
grumbles about rain, or whatnot, the
days hurry by that are giving his
neighbor good returns for effort ex-
pended. This is SO generally true as
to be practically accurate.
