springs, discovered a large turtle and
took him home. Some three or four
weeks ago the turtle was missed and

surrendered himself to his master.
An Auburn man who recently walked
through the trap-door Of his store one

Several Maine papers are writing the
obituary OF the stone wall. They claim
that it has gone with the well sweep,
but we think not. Within one mile of
the Lewiston city building is stone
wall recently built of field stone that
exemplifes the fact that here is the
biggest wall out of the stoniest field in
New England. 1t is worth going miles
to see. 1t is fully eight feet broad in
most of it's length and to look upon it
should give the genuine lover of stone
wall profound tremors of aesthetic and
soulful delight. 1t is a poem in stone

Three years ago Portland lady
mysteriously lost her gold watch.
There were in the house only herself
and her husband, but all search by both
was fruitless. nor could the police OBJ
tain a trace. To her husbands disgust
the lady consulted a clairvoyant, who
described the missing article and re-
assured her patron that by and by it
would come back. Last week 1t was
found in closet, discolored by time
and where it had been looked for again
and again.

The home team p.ayed in hard luck

the final period Perry made two clever
goals, giving RoclSland a lead which the
visitors strove desperately but vainly to
overcome. Maynard played a fine block

anu mayer. The only variance in the
ioiis thle Colby had the ball in work
ing IL from the Colby to the Bowdoin
lo-yard line, was when Haggerty was
sent around the end each time for sure
gains. Colby worked this p|ay so
many times that there was no question
as to where the ball was going. Each
time it was through one of the GUARDS.
BoWdoin was powerless and the pail
was placed ON the 10-yard line where
time was called, although it looked 70
be sure thing that Colby would score.
Scannell kicked to the 15-yard line
in the second half but Clark had ad-
vanced to the 25-yard line before Hag-
serty got through the interference and
doWned him.
Hunt then tried the left end for 5
yards and Gregson the right end for
5 more. Clark struck the line for &
and Albee went through the right
tackle for s. Hunt followed up with
8 yards around the right end, and
Gregson tried the left for 5. Bowdoin
followed this style of play, the backs
going where they pleased behind a
d.ovetailed interference which Colby
was unable to break, until the ball was
on the 22-yard line Here Colby held
for down.
Colby tried the same old holes at the
guards and worked the ball back TO
the 30-yard line where Bowdoin held
Colby for three downs and Scannell
punted. The punt was blocked and
Hunt on the first down took the ball
down to the 15-yard line and Gregson
carried the ball across the line for a
touchdown, the first in the game
Clark failed the goal.
Eadlocll got the ball on the kickoff
and Gregson and Hunt carried the
ball to the 50-yard line. With the bah
on the 40-yard line, Gregson and Hunt
having made good gains, Clark shot
around the end for an apparently good
gain having a clear field. During this
time it looked as though another
touchdown was in sight, when Hag-
gerty ran in behind the interference
and downed him with only a 10-yard
gain.
The Bowdoin backs then began to
work the ends until the ball was on
the 5-yard line. Dudley during this
time was doing great work for Colby.
He made no attempt to break up the
interference but by going in behind
the line tackled the man from. behind,
bringing him to the ground. On the
5-yard line Stockbridge was sent
around the right enc for touch down
and Clark kicked the goal.
Before this Scannell, who had been
doing such good work for Colby, had
so played himself out, having played
two or three mems positions. that he
was obliged to drop out of the game.
Hunt too left the field and Giles was
put in his place.
Bowdoiu had advanced the ball but
short distance before Colby held and
Bowdoin was forced to punt from the
55-yard line. Here the ball was sent
to the 5-yard line where it bounded
across the line where Eastman fell on
it, Clark kicked the goal
The remainder of the game was
played almost in darkness BoWdoln
several times tried trick plays but a.
ways for small gains and many times
for losses Time was called with the

II IS Tor these reasons that tie game
would have more truly shown the real
nature Of the play.
Richardson, Pratt, Hapgood and
Washburn, excelled for Brown, and
Swain, Brayton. Warren and HalIowell
for Harvard. Richardson was easily
the star halfback for the visitors
Pratt, the little quarterback, played a
wonderful game: he seemed to find no
difficulty in mailing a big fellow like
Boal and throwing him back for loss.
Harvards line was weaker on the
right side than on the other, where
Donald did valiant service. AS be-
tween Burnett and Jaffray there was
little preference. Burnett was safer in
handling the ball, hut on the defensive
was not so sure and steady Sawin
outclassed Eincke at quarterback in
the second half. Brayton, as fullback
during the second hah, added material
strength to the defensive and offensive
With Boal and Warren there was a trio

grade Of concrete, which is much more
expensive
A competent contractor figures that
the excavation should have cost lHs
cents per square foot, the cinders l cent
per square foot, the cement 3 cents per
square foot, the blocks IL cents per
square foot, making total Of 1715 cents
per square foot. This Is about the actual
cost, which show that payments for the
work were about 1874 cents per square
foot in excess of a reasonable cost. This
excess amounts to S3,468.42, which
should have been saved to the State. To
show that this Is not an unreasonable
estimate attention is called TO the fact
that the same company offered to lay the
same cheap and inferior walk for 1917
cents per square foot when the Board
of Public Works was arranging for the
east and north walks In 1892.
The hexagon blocks used in this job
were shipped in from Kansas City, where
they were made. They could just as we'll
have had the work done in Topeka. In
stead OF patronizing Kansas institutions,
employing Kansas labor and helping de-
Velop their own State the State officers
seemed to have become possessed Of
liberal share of the Governors dispO-
sItion to be ashamed of the great COM
monwealth whose interests they we're
supposed to promote at all times and un-
der all circumstances. Before election
things were different. Then they were
working on the gravel walks and at one
time there were 144 men at work, but
after election they did not do things that
way. This job was in line in most re-
spects with all Of the others.

Topeka Gets the Convention.

The Populist State central committee
met at Topeka last week and decided to
hold the State convention at Topeka,
June Is. Considerable other business
of a routine nature was transacted. There
was a spirited fight for the convention.
The cities represented were Topeka,
Wichita, Pittsburg and Hutchinson.
Pittsburg made a very hard fight and
came near winning. Messrs. Halliday,
Berkey, Casson, Comiskey, Greet and
Baxter were active leaders. G.. G. Glenn
ems spoke for them also. This delegation
succeeded in convincing the committee
that the convention should so to that
city, but it's location in the extreme
southeast lost the fight, but the effort
was a splendid one, rejecting credit on
the city which the delegation represented.
The telling point made against Pittsburg
was that 1t would necessitate too much
travel and the waste Of too much time
to get there. TO an Advocate and News
representative every member OF the COM
mittee expressed himself as impressed
with the arguments Of the Pittsburg del
egation and as heartily In accord with
the sentiment that the farmers and
miners should meet face to face and that
both classes would be benefited by the
better understanding of each other which
would follow.
Tom Fitch fought for Wichita, while
q. G. Nettleon represented Hutchinson.
Both did their best to win but were
handicapped by the knowledge that the
fight was really between Pittsburg and
Topeka. The latter offered hall rent
free, committee rooms, music and one
rate for round trip on the railroads and
promised that no unusual hotel rate OF
extortiOns OF any kind would be per-
mitted. The offer of the other cities
was substantially the same.
On the first ballot the vote was as fol-
lows: Pittsburg s, Wichita 5, Wichita 2
Hutchinson 2. The second ballot gave
Pittsburg &, Topeka s, Wichita 3, Hutch
inson 2. The third ballot settled the
fight. Topeka got 8, Wichita 4, Pitts
burg 3.

careful consideration of every voter in
Kansas who desires the future political
Well-being of the State. We do not
think 1t is within the province OF your
committee, however, to pass upon these
matters, but that the solution, so far as
the Peoples party is concerned, rests
solely with the individual voters Of the
party when in convention assembled,
and to them 1t should be referred. The

these matters so that the delegates to
