Dodgeville VS.. Mineral Point.

The foot ball contest here Satur-
day between teams representa- q
Mineral Point and Dodgeville was n
fine exhibition of the all exciting
game, and those who assembled to
witness it We're highly pleased. At
no stage could the game be ceded to
either eleven, ard at all times it was
more than exciting to watch the two,
evenly matched, each struggling for
supremacy against the most pro-
nounced difficulties. 1t proved the
most interesting game ever played
on our grounds. Both teams played
creditable bail and Mineral Point
boys agreeably surprised their ad-
mirers, as their practice was limited
and the opinion general, that they
would be defeated more easily.
Hake, former half back of the
Whitewater Normal, strengthened
the team in a marked degree. A.
much harmony and good feeling
prevailed as is common to foot ball
and no serious results were reported.
The principal features of the game
Were Kittoe's 40 yard run and Hake's
and Whitman's long gains. No
score was made in the first half, the
ball ending in the middle of the field
in Mineral Points possession. The
touch down for Dodgeville was made

Darlington Up Against the Real Thing.

Judging from the report OF the
Darlington Journal of the recent
foot ball game between Dodgeville
and Darlington, played at the latter
city, we should conclude our county
seats representatives were highway
robbers and of the Sampson type.
We sincerely believe, judging from
past experience with the Darlington
delegation, that Dodgeyille won the
game by actual hard work and per-
severance, or had some imported
sharks to deprive the Journals he
roes of their just rights. We are in
formed from u reliable source that
the average weight of the Dodgevllle
team does not exceed l35, and from
personal acquaintance we feel lustl-
fed, still retaining "A clear conscience,
in corroborating the same. 1t seems
as though IL twcre exceedingly hu-
initiating to the Darlington teams
supporters to witness their banner
fall.from honor, and cannot willingly
acknowledge the fact, while IN all
contests, whatsoever they may be,
the victors should glory in success
and the conquered gracefully ac-
knowledge defeat. The Republican
talks common sense as follows:
"The foot ball game between the
Dodgeville and Darlington High
school teams, played on the Fair
Grounds in this city Saturday, re-
suited ia score of II to 6 IN favor OF
Dodgeville. The weather was fine
and the attendance large. As our
foot ball reporter "lOst his hcad' and
bet n box Of cigarettes that the
Darlington team would mop the
earth with the Dodgeville boys, we
absolutely refused to allow him to
report the game, knowing full well
that he was preiudiced and therefore
liable TO blame the umpire for his
own short-sightedness. The fact OF
the matter Is. the Darlington boys
were outplayed by big, strong
team They were fairly beaten and
it won't do to attribute their defeat
TO the "rank decisions Of the umpire
This Is the first time the Darlington
High school has ever been beaten
at foot ball and we know the pill Is
bitter one to swallow. But we should
take our medicine and look pleasant
and thu- prove TO the world that
while Darlington people know how
to celebrate Il victory, they can also
grin and bear TT when II comes the
other fellows turn to shout Our
boys put up a good game, and al
though defeated they are not dis

There is more catarrh IN this sec

diseases put together and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurabie. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
aud prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proved catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney a.
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di.
