They Will Kick Too.

Mexico ia to have q foot ball team
and a good one this season. Several
of the enthusiasts met at 1880 O'Clock
Wednesday night and formulated
plans for organizing a good team, a
team which will win everything that
she goes against; in fact, n of the
men prominent In the movement said:
"We are going to have q team for true
and we'n brush some of the stripes of
of the M. 8. U. teams good men
before the season is over"
! With this object-the defeat of the
Tigers-in view, the boys will have to
get to work and drop some of the
petty Jealousies which have heretofore
been retrogressive to an organization
which would do justice to the forty odd
good foot ball players in Mexico.
All who r interested in the success
of the proposed team will be at
Sportsman Park at 4 O'Clock Friday
afternoon. Several good schemes
will no doubt reach maturity by that
time and those at the head want the
boys to come to the park st the time
mentioned. 1t is requested that they
come prepared to play practice ball.

Raising of the Maria Teresa.

Naval Constructor Hobson did good
work IN floating the Spanish cruiser,
Maria Teresa, which was raised from
the spot where it went aground on the
memorial July 8, and has been towed
to Guantanamo bay. At that place
repairs are being made which will en-
able the cruiser to be brought to an
American shipyard, where 1t will be
made fit for service as q vessel of the
American navy. 1t is now said that
Hobson also expects to be successful
in raising the Cristobal Color, in which
event the American navy will have in
service two trophies of the great VIC
tory over Cervera's feet.
His achievement in this respect is a
tribute to Hobson's skill, for it was
believed by many that the saving OF
any Of the Spanish ships would be an
impossibility.
The sentimental satisfaction to the
American people of having Spanish
ships made q part OF the American
navy lie a consideration OF far more
Importance than any money-saving
that may accrue from the salvage OF
the sunken cruisers.

HE COULD FIND NO GOLD.
Hamlin Garland Says the Klondyke is
All q Big Fraud-Now a Stampede
Out of That Country That
No Pen Can Describe.

LACROSSE, Wis, Sept. 30.-Hamlin
Garland, the author, has returned
from Klondyke. He has had some
thrilling experiences and narrow
escapes, has suffered come hardships
and has been through great deal that
money could not hire him to attempt
again. He does not claim to have
attempted or accomplished anything
unusual, but he has seen the Kiondyke
and does not hesitate to pronounce 1t
q dismal delusion, full Of blasted hopes
and wrecked lives and fortunes.
He laughed heartily. over the stories
of his narrow escapes from starvation.
He does not look like q man who had
suffered with hunger. He is consider
ably reduced in flesh, but his health Is
by no means shattered. He will rest
ct the country home of his parents at
West Salem and will then 60 ON East
to resume his literary engagements.
He went to Alaska for material to
write about. He does not promise it
exactly, but he will in all probability
get out q book on Alaska before long.
He said:
"The land of gold, so-called, is a
fake and a fraud. Nothing of the sort
exists in hat northern country, either
ON the American or the British side.
1t Is true some gold has been taken

Gold costs considerable; 1t IS very
expensive stuff, no matter where you
get 1t. 1t Is more expensive and
harder to get In the Klondyke than
anywhere I know of. Most of the
gold found there is found by welI-paid
liars, hired by transportation COM

Germs making very much money out

"There is now a stampede out of

something dreadful. 1t is an awful
panic. Few have the hardihood to
resist the general rush to the coast.
