FOOT BALL FUCKERS.

The lovers of foot ball, and their
name is legion, witnessed one of the
gainiest foot ball struggles here on the
10Th, that they have had the pleasure
of seeing for a long time.
Marietta College, of MARKETS. Ohio,
and the West Virginia University, of
MorGantown, have both claimed cham
pionship when it came TO kicking the
pig-skin, and it was officially settled
for the present, at least, that the belt
belongs 10 our own mountain state
Tins was the third time That they have
met this season, the first game being
won by Marriott by score of lG 20 6.
The second game by the w. V. U. by a
score OF to U. so that this struggle
was to be battle royal between the
giants on the respective sides. The
varsity boys came in on the noon
train, filling six coaches. Their colors
were seen everywhere and their ''Yelr'
was heard everyplace. They came in
loaded for bear" and they got il.
The Ohio kickers came in few min
utes later and though there was not
near so many Of them they were not
bit less enthusiastic and their snappy
yell" was very much in evidence.
The game was pulled off at the Arnett
though only eight or nine hundred
were expected, the crowd probab eX-
ceeded twelve hundred. Hacks ran
from town to the Park every few min
utes
The game started about three o'clock
and the players lined up for business.
IT could be clearly seen that the rub
Der would be kicked for all it was
worth. During the first half of the
game nett IA or afda coovaI oIflorrrI, fI.,
Varsity boys had the ball within
few feet of the goal line once, and IL
looked like they would score but they
never did. In the second half, after
lots of hard kicking, Morgautown got
the ball and made a touchdown, and
Immediately kicked a goal from the
touchdown; the former counting four
scores and the latter two. The time
was up with the exception of three
minutes and IL was impossible for
Marietta TO score iu that time The
cheering was deafeniug when the
touchdown was made. One OF the
players was pretty badly scalpcd be-

REPUBLICAN PATENT BRAINS"

In the name Of common decency
and honesty, why will respectable
paper like the Weston World pub
llsh such lying rot as the following
gold bug editorial from the Repub-
hcan patent brains department at
Washington
The sound-money Democrats see
now that they were wise in standing
firmly against the silver craze. 1t
Is being abandoned by even the men
who led last years fight, and the
bulk of the Democracy is making
ready to fall in line with the former
leaders Of the party.
Every word Of the above is a lie.
pure and simple, and very simple
too, and the paper that prostitutes
itself, degrades is honor and mocks
at all truth and honesty, by the
publication of what it knows to be
a lie, and inserting it as an original
editorial, is hard up indeed for
matter and shows the desperation
and degradation of goldbugism.
Not only the above editorial, but
others in the same issue and in
every issue Of the World as we'll as
other Republican papers are sent
out from the patent Drains depart
ment Of the Republican Gold Bug
Bureau at Washington, managed
and controlled by Wall Street
sharks from New York City.
Shame on the World to so prcsti-
tute itself when it has plenty Of
brains of its own to edit its paper,
specially when most of it is patent
matter anyhow. The paper had
better make it all patent and be
dono with it.
