dress gives him neither shade or pro-

judiciously distributed that, although
even the Hussars ride at least 10 stone,
sore backs are very seldom seen. Yet
it certainly shows great poverty of in

as ill-sulted to modern war as the
panoply of the medieval man-at-arms.
Battles are won by good marching and
good shooting. The foot-gear, therefore,
and the head-dress should be the most
comfortable that can be devised 1t
would seem, however, that much more
care is paid to the fitting of saddles

PRINCETON COACHERS CONFER.
Princeton, n. j., Oct. S0.-The coach
ers Of the varsity football team held
conference yesterday and discussed
plans for bringing the team up to real
varsity form. Head Coach Lea gave
out the following official criticism Of
Saturdays game this morning:
There was but one man In every
play. and that man was the one who
took the ball None of the men seemed
to have any confidence, and Hlllebrand
alone used his head. islowness in start
Ing was one Of the chief weaknesses,
and on the defensive the entire team
was very weak. Edwards. Hillebrand
and Reiter being the only ones who
made showing of any credit whatever.
Pell and Mills played in very poor form
and Losy was so weak al center that
Booth had to be called upon, notwith-
standing the fact that ne was suffering
from sprained ankle. When the men
found they could not make gains, in
stead Of using more determination, they
gave up, Cornell played a strong game,
but Princeton was not UP TO her form,
too much confidence being displayed"

Violent Rise In Call Money Checks a
Rising Marker.
New York, Oct. 30.--Prices Of stocks
moved upwards in the early dealings
to-day, but serious obstacle to the
advance was met with in violent rise
in the rate for call money The ad-
vance extended into the second hour,
when the market began to drift down
wards, There was no effectual check
to the decline until the close which was
at about the low point and with prices
still giving way to pressure. No serious
net losses are shown in the railroad list,
but the earlier gains which amounted
to a point and upwards In many cases,
were pretty generally wiped out. The
opening was strong and animated and
there was a large volume of outside
buying orders invited by the unexpect-
ed strength of the Saturday bank
statement. The demand was particu-
larly large for the grangers and south
westerns and for some of the southern
railroad stocks, notably Louisville,
which was up ~ at one time. This
stock resisted the later depression with
some success but closed q below the
best. During the early strength Sugar
rose an extreme points and the Iron
and Steel stocks had a short-lved per-
iod of vigor. Pressure promptly devel-
oped against Steel and Wire and it was
weak for the rest Of the day Federal
Steel was exceptionally firm. The
Leather stocks continued to be largely
dealt in, but the gain in the preferred
was entirely lost before the close The
international paper stocks was fierce
ly attacked and the common was forced
down 31a and the preferred points.
The latter recovered 3 points of it's loss
A rumor coming from Holland of the
fall Of Ladysmith was without much
effect. as London seemed disposed to
discredit the report The September
statement of st, Paul had discourag-

did the large increase in gross earnings
obliterated by the heavy increase in
operating expenses so that the net
earnings for the month were more than
100000 less than in September of last
year. The effect was especially mark
ed upon all the grain carrying roads.
Call money opened at per cent and
after dropping to rs per cent. rose vio-
lently in the late dealings to 30 per cent.
Bids were made as high as 40 per cent,
but the closing transaction was at 20
per cent. New York exchange fell

celebration of any magnitude was in

The belief seems to be general that
this year we ought to get up an enter

efforts in that direction, and although
a little late commencing preparations,
we believe that our citizens can and
will do the thing on grand scale. All
our people will feel better for having
given up day to the celebration of
our nations birthday. No arrange
ments have been made for celebration
at any of our neighboring towns. and
there seems to be general desire to
come to Great Bend that day and en-
JOY the sports. Elsewhere will be
found a statement of what is being
done towards preparing entertainment,

spirit of patriotism already aroused
will grow and spread, until, when the
great day arrives, we will turn out and
have one of the grandest times ever
known IN the town. Prepare to cele.
