DONE UP BY DOCTORS.
University of Iowa Team Defeated
On the Gridiron BY
Rush.
HAwKEYE BOYS ARE EASY VICTIMS.

Absence of Several Crack Players Proves
Disastrous to the Eleven Which Loses
by Score of 10 to 1I-Large Gather
ing of Tri-City People witnesses Game,
Which is Exciting and Interesting.
Victory came apparently easy to
Rush Medical college in its football
game with the University of Iowa at
the Rock Island baseball park on
Twelfth street Saturday afternoon.
The Iowans, while in weight about
even, were unequal in every other
respect to their antagonists, a condi-
ton in large measure attributable
no doubt to the absence of several of
their crack players, who deserted the
team for various reasons.
The score was Is to IL, and dark
ness had set in before the contest
had reached its conclusion. Despite
the fact that the weather was any
thing but favorable, and rain momen-
hood of l, 900 people. the majority of
cities, were assem- bled about the grid
iron when the hour for the struggle
arrived.
Both elevens did hard work, and an
exciting contest, respondent with
numerous brilliant plays, was the re-
suit. Morton, Iowa's right half,
created the sensation of the game,
making beautiful 9O-yard dash in
the last half and scoring touchdown
for his team when but few moments
for play remained.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one
and warmly applauded the teams.
Rush won the toss and chose the
north goal. Meggars for Iowa kick
ed off to Lamerton on the 1S-yard line.
At once Rush began its attack on the
Iowa line and moved steadily down
the field by three and five-yard stages.
On its 15-yard line Iowa took brace
and held for two downs but on the
third Lamping went around right end
for the first touchdown. Tobin fail
ed to kick goal, as he did every time
of the three chances he had. Meggars
did the same with all but one of his
attempts. Iowa got the ball in the
center after the Kickoff and in ten
minutes play Meggars went over for
a touchdown, tieing the score. Rush
it's line pounding and Tobin
scored a touchdown just as time was
called.
In the second half Rush kicked and
Meggars returned to Tobin, who adj
seven yards. Given 10 yards
for offside play, Rush put Schwenden-
er across the line after two and one
half minutes. Meggars was forced in
to his own goal for a safety. After an
exchange of punts Iowa held for
downs on their 20-yard line and Nor
ton made his phenomenal run around
right end. Meggars kicked goal with
of minute to play.

AN industry that will one day
rival the wheat crop of the Palouse
is its apple crop. The orchards first
set out are just now coming into
full bearing, and every season now
other orchards will begin to bear,
and hundreds of acres will be set to
new orchards. The apple of the
Palouse hills is unexcelled any,
where. Its flavor is the best, and
it is also an excellent keeper, and
it's beauty makes it a good seller.
Car load after car load of the fruit
has been shipped from Pullman in
common with other Palouse towns,
this fall, and still the country is
full. Apples are sure crop, and
always command fair price, and
every farmer should have an orch
ard, but great care should be exer-
,cised in selecting the varieties fer
planting, for upon that may depend
half the value Of the orchard. For
the benefit Of those who wish to
plant trees this coming season, the
HERALD solicits communications
from farmers who have bearing
orchards as to the varieties of fruit
that do best here. Kindly let your
neighbor have the benefit ..of your
experience that he may not plant
out varieties that have proved a
failure to you. The best apple COM
mands the market and the best
prices.

Wheat Grades High.

The Washington wheat crop Of
1898 is grading higher than the
grain commissioner had expected
says the Ledger. There is little
that has been received at Tacoma
which would not have graded No 1
under the higher standard of the
previous year. The two cargoes
which were inspected out for South
Africa were graded more rigidly
than the grain commissions rules
provide, but no trouble was found
in securing the wheat.
Chief Inspector Wright says that
a tifty-nine pound grade would have
provided a better average of the
crop than the one adopted by the
com mission. He says he has al
ways been n favor of the fifty-nine
pound grade, but the lower stand
ard was adopted in Difference to the
evident wishes of tanners and
shippers who petitioned for the
fifty eight pound grade.
There has been but little low
weight wheat received here thi.
season." said the grain commission

pressions of party harmony that were ut
tered at Sacramento. pr. Pardee was
the most prominent man In the conyen-
ton, and his timely speech, short, to the
point and uttered In his conscientious,
forceful manner, fittingly represented the
spirit of the convention. The doctor took
his seat as a delegate in the Fifth Ward,
and in addition to addressing the con-
yention he placed In nomination Henry
p. Dalton.
While nominations were being made, a
regrettable little. incident occurred. which
Eden Township sincerely regrets. One of
its delegates, Gurdon s. Langan, arose
presumably to place In nomination cam
didate for Assessor AS it was well
known that DR.. Pardee was already In
tending to nominate Mr.. Dalton, Langan's
effort was rather a surprise-his ultimate
actions a greater surprise. Langan went
on the platform and commenced to make
speech in which he declared that since
so many men had been nominated unani-
had been prearranged. Mr.. Langan wan
dered considerably In his speech for which
he apologized by saying ne had had "too
much dinner" which was evidently true.
He was voted out of order and retired to
his seat with the Haywards delegation.
That there was no sincerity In the stand
which he professed to take was best
proved by the fact that the Eden Township
delegation voted solidly for each of the
candidates and Mr.. Langan made no pro-
test.
