Eiks Club Challenged.
Akron, Ohio, Oct. :

Akron, Ohio, Oct. "a, 1899.
1T was with sincere regret that in
last evenings paper we noted the
disbanding of the Akron Foot Ball
team. We cannot believe that the
non-support was due to their lack of
ability, but that they put up such a
good game that the public generally
were not able to understand and ap-
preciate it.
I'm order to thoroughly amuse the
dear public we have decided to place
ourselves upon the altar of sacrifice
and enter the arena of out door sports
for the chance of winning immortal
renown or death or possibly both; be
it therefore known and recorded
that the members of the Kirk wood
club do hereby challenge the MEM
bers of the Elks club to meet them
upon the gridiron at such time and
place as their respective committees
may elect and decide. Signed,

a Country VIlIage.
The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of the salesman of c. M.
Henderson & Company was solved
Monday.
George Farrelle, their representa-
tive, went from this city to Wooster.
A brother of N. E. Clark, who was
believed to have been the victim of
foul play, resides in that city. He
was the first person visited. He had
heard nothing of his brother.
About an hour later Mr.. Farrelle
was talking with business man of
Wooster in relation to the case when
the missing man drove into town. He
explained his absence by saying that
he had been ill for number of
weeks and that he had been at the
home of his mother in Maysville. He
gave no reason for not communicat-
ing with his employers. 1t was a
strange coincidence that Clark
should have appeared in Wooster the
same day that Mr.. Farrelle reached
the place in search of him.

BuchteI College Team.
At a meeting of the students Ot
Buchtel college Monday night it was
decided to organize foot ball team.
The organization was perfected by
electing Hugh Price captain and E.
M. Robinson manager. A schedule
will at once be arranged. Several
good games will be played on the
Buchtel college grounds. Practice
was commenced Tuesday afternoon.
The candidates for positions on the
team are numerous. Among the
players who will try for the team are
Rockwell. Ewes, Robinson, Price.
Hardy, Herndon, Smith, Ross,
Myers, Sharp, G.. Brown, S. Brown
and Traschel. 1t is believed that Il
winning eleven can be organized. If
the team can hold it's own the bal
ance of the year it will probably be
put on a stronger basis next year.
Several years ago Buchtel was near
the top in athletics. The public look
upon foot ball as college sport. 1t
will be far better for the game in
Akron to have first class college
team'than an athletic club.

He Refuses to Answer.

IN a recent interview in Denver, w.
A. Clark stated that he courted the
fullest and most searching investi-
cation in regard to the truth or faIsity
of the bribery charges that had been
made against him in connection with
his election to the senate. If Mr. Clark
meant that, he now has an opportunity
to help such an investigation along.
The taking of his deposition in the case
of Fred Whiteside against the Miner
Publishing company was begun yester-
day in Butte. To all questions bearing
on the bribery charges, or on the ex-
penditure of money in his senatorial
campaign, Mr.. Clark refused an an
swer. Surely there cannot be a full
and searching investigation if the prin-
cipal in the case refuses to answer the
questions put to him.
To a meeting of citizens held at the
Auditorium in Butte soon after his cleo
ton to the senate, Mr.. Clark stated
that reports of bribery on his part were
of a damnable conspiracy to defeat him
for the senate.
Yesterday in his deposition, Mr. Clark
stated that he had no knowledge of any
conspiracy. Did he have knowledge of
such conspiracy at the time of his Au
ditorium address, and has he since for
gotten about it? If Mr.. Clark has
knowledge of a conspiracy, is it not his
duty to impart his knowledge to assist
in exposing such conspiracy? Is not
that the duty of every good citizen?
Mr.. Clark's conduct is not such as
would lead people to believe that he
is acting in good faith when he says
he courts the fullest and most search
ing investigation into the charges OF
bribery that have been brought against
him. If Mr.. Clark has nothing to con-
ceal, let him answer the questions put
TO him as an honest man should. Is
it not as easy to deny as to decline to
answer?

theater is to put it mildly. There was
a large audience present and 1t laugh
ed long, loud and vociferously. Otis
Harlem Is not with the company, the
role of Hot Stuff being taken by George
w. Allen who, while not given so much
prominence as was accorded the creator
of the role, allows the part to suffer
none in comparison with Harlen's work.
Allen gives a splendid characterization
of the black sheep.
Devere's character Is one OF those
whose naturalnesS, spontaneous hu-
NOR and humanity appeals to every
one The Villains role of Percy We're in
the hands of Edmund Elton was well
handled. All the other quaint charac-
tiers, Under Dog, the prizefighter, the
sheriff, the theatrical manager and all,
were in most excellent hands.
Matte Keene as the queen of the bur-
lesque has caught the playwrights idea
capitally. Miss Adelaide Nye was n
charming Ada Steele and the other wo-
men in the piece were good.
The play is crowded with specialtles.
Everybody contributes. Devere's
laughing song is one of the best things
among the specialties, while the imi-
tations of Gilbert Girard the famous
mimic caught the house. Miss Bertha
Boardman's cornet solo is a feature OF
the performance. Last night, as an en-
core, using her cornet as bugle, she
played several army calls, to the great
delight of the audience.
