The attention which the athletic
committee of Harvard's board Of over
seers Is now paying 10 the matter OF
reforming college athletes so as to
bring them back to simpler and less
objectionable form should result in cor
recting some of these abuses. College
sports have their legitimate value and
it should be the aim OF the college au-
thorities to rescue them If possible
from the plane of the professional ath-
letic exhibition, where quibbling and
mone~-making are the most prominent
features, and place them where they
will serve useful purpose in the all

Students of the wheat market are in
iuenced by some rather startling sta
tistics from the northwestern grain
markets. Two years ago that district
had on hand 24,o0o,o0O OF contract
wheat. A year ago there was lS,00o.-
900. Today there is less than 5000 900.
OF which but 100000 is contract
wheat. 1t is stated that there is not
enough wheat in sight to supply the
mills and meet the demand for seed.
The situation is further complicated
by the fact that the most Of this wheat
is owned by Letter with Armour bid
ding for what little comes into the
market. The prospects are for fancy
prices before the new crop is har-
vested.

According to late reports T. W. Volz,
of Canyon Diablo, has decided to close
out his interests in Arizona and settle
near the relatives of his wife, who live
near Seneca, Mo, where they own a
great deal of land, which has been al
lotted to them by the government in
severalty. Mrs. Volz, nee Miss Jose
phine NJ. Lopland, was educated at the
Government Indian School, Haskell
Institute, Lawrence, Kansas. She is
very lovely young lady, was assistant
to the teacher of the Noqui Day School
at Oraibe, where Mr.. Volz first met her.
His hasty marriage seemed to take his
wife's family as much by surprise as
his Winslow friends. Her relatives hes
itated somewhat to give their consent,
as he was SO little known to them, but
his credentials put at rest all uneasi-
ness on that score and they finally con-
sented to give their loving daughter to
him. According to Mr. Volz's express
wish, the wedding was very quiet af-:
fair. With her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Lopland, Mrs. Dagnette, an aunt, her
sister and a friend, they drove from
Seneca to the county seat, Neosho, Mo-,
and were married in the hotel parlors
at o'clock p. M, October 18th, by JUS
Jice Of the Peace Moore, ex-U. S. Indian
Agent, and that night took the train for
Chicago, stopping at the Palmer House
After several weeks there they were to
visit Omaha and Kansas City. The
Wyandotte Indian maidens are all con-
sidered handsome, bright and witty,
and ambitious to marry white men.
The tribe is rich, owning great deal
Of land in and near Kansas City. We
regret very much to lose Mr.. Volz as
resident Of our territory. There are
also several young ladies near here, who
will miss him very much, two in par
ticular-but to these he has promised
to name his first daughter, Anna Eliza
beth. We wish them much happiness,
with humorous children to brighten
their home, and their many friends
hope to see them in the near future
again in Arizona.
