FOOI RAIL-,

The game last Saturday, contrary to
the predictions Of numerous pessimists
both IN school and out, proved to be a
victory. Many people said the '9S team
was mo good, that it lacked weight and
experience. But the team apparently
has sufficient weight end the new men
played as though they were not lacking
In knowledge OF the game. The game
showed that 9S has material for team
which will uphold the reputation gained
by 90 and 81.
The game started with Ryan kicking
off. The bail in possession of Manlto voc
was downed on their 35 yard line.
Then by a series of and 4-yd. gains the
ball was advanced beyond the center OF
the field, when Rhode obtaiuining the
ball on fake half back plunge went
around the end for forty yard run and
touchdown. No goal. Score 5 TO O..
Ryan again kicked off and after some
short gains Zeman obtained the ball on
criss-cross and went around the eud for
another lloyd. run and touchdown. Will
da kicked goal. Score IL too. Time for
the first half WAS called when Manitowoc
was within 20 yds. of her opponents
goal
In the second half, Manitowoc kicks
off, HilferC fails to catch the ball and it
Is fallen on by Manitowoc, within 25 yds
OF Ryan's goal. In few minutes NAM
towoc finds herself within 4 yds. OF the
goal line. Strathmsn is sent through
the line but fumbles the ball which Is
fallen on by Ryan behind their own goal
line thereby scoring safety and two
points for Manitowoc. Score Is to 0.
The ball is taken out to the % I'D. line
and put In play. Manitowoc forces BY
An down the field and Strathm8n after
smashing the line three or four times
scored we'll earned touchdown. Rhode
kicked goal. Score 10 to @.
The bali is put IN play again and after
a time Ryan gets it on tumble, but is
held for downs and In the last two min
utes Of play Alexander scores the last
touchdown by clever quarterback play.
No goal. Score "a to 0,

MANITowoC, Wis, Oct. 3, 1898

Editor Pilot:
The taxation Of the sleeping car com
panles being one of the main features of
this years political campaign, it would
be OF inter st to know why the Pullman
Gar 90. are able to pay s per cent. annual
dividends and accumulate a surplus Of
over twenty millions. The Pullman Co
builds sleeping cars and furnishes the
same to railroads In various countries OF
the world and in most of the foreign
countries the charges are less than in the
United States. 1t is not necessary TO 60
farther than Mexico to illustrate the in
Jnstice of their high charges
The usual charge for berth In Pull
man In the U. 3. is two dollars for
night OF eight to ten hours or five dollars
for full day of "a Contrast this with
the fact that a person can take Pull
man at Laredo at 4 p. ID. and occupy 1t,
to Monterey Mexico at a. m. or sixteen
hours for ninety cents. Also a As hour
ride OF 1924 miles, Elpaso to Mexico City
for four dollars.
This proves the rates In the e, s. are
over twice as much az In Mexico and the
Pullman 70. operates the cars in both
countries. In Mexico the government
regulates the charges, in this country the
Pullman company by the grace OF the
Republican party regulates the charges.
