TWO STATE TEAMS.
Illinois and Iowa to Struggle for
Supremacy on Gridiron
Tomorrow.
HARD FOUGHT GAME PREDICTED

whichever Way the Victory Goes it is
Not Thought the Score VIII Vary Much
Navy Blue and Orange and Old Gold
All in Readiness for the Meeting-Big
Crowd Looked For.
Tomorrow afternoon the Illinois
and Iowa state universities meet on
the foot ball field at the Rock Island
base ball park and hard fought game
will be played. Whichever way it
goes the score will probably not vary
more than one touchdown and both
will score.
Iowa is confident of winning and
Illinois has it in the team to play to
victory though her slump this year
has been a great disappointment to
her many alumni and ardent support
ers. Despite this, the teams are even
ly matched as to weight and expert
ence.
Iowa this year has surprised her
friends by such playing as was never
known in that state. Not only has
the team won the state championship
by defeating Grinnell by the decisive
score of 10 to o, and Ames ) to o, but
it ran over Nebraska, 80 to 0. This
game is usually very close. The game
at Rock Island last year between Iowa
and Rush, in which it will be remem-
bered the doctors won, was avenged
by defeat this year of II to o. Iowa 5
only big game was when she held
Chicago to five points early in the
season.
Iowa is a firm believer in the
Pennsylvania style of play, and Dr..
A. A. Knipe. the coach, developed it
in fine form. Iowa wants to break in
among the big schools of the west,
and if she defeats Illinois she will
have tight to demand games with
the others of the big four, Chicago,
Michigan and Wisconsin.
Illinois, on the other hand, stands
faithful to the Princeton game, and
has one of the famous POes assisting
Coach Huff this year in addition t.
numerous graduate coaches. Illinois
most notable game was with Michi-
gan, which team was held down to a
bare five points, and which later tied
with Pennsylvania on five. The team
has half its men from last year )
eleven, and they will give the Hawk
eyes the hardest game they have had
this year.
Omcials of Game.
The officials of the game will be
Ralph +. Hoagland, of Chicago, and
DR.. Charles NJ. HOLSTER, coach of the
Northwestern football team.
Illinois colors are navy blue and
orange, and Iowa's old gold. Here
are some Illinois yells that will be
used:
Hullabaloo. hoor.th. hoorah, h llabaloO. no D

 No pains have been spared in mak- ing an attractive program. The topics to be discussed ara of interest to ali teachers, and we have reason 10 believe that they will be well handled.

 A large attendance Is of the utmost importance. The teachers of the State have shown 80 li.tle interest il b lth district and State associa- tions that it is impossible to get good rates from the railroads. The percent of teachers who attend Is lamentably small The gatherings should be She largest, most important and most enthusiastic in the State.

 The resolutions pledge the united support of local banks, merchants and planters, and are as follows:
 Whereas, pEe Natchez Democrat is making strong appeal through its editorial columns to the bankers, the merchants and the planters of the south to unite in sucn actor as will make possible the marketing of its coming cotton croe in such a manner as will extend the time of delivery of the bulk of the crop aud thus avoid the depression of prices consequent upon an over supply during the early months.
 Resolved, That the Natchez cot ton exchange fully endorses the above appeal and eompliment the Democrat upon the unsel6sa and patriotic course it is pursuing.
 Resolved, That we consider the plan an emioenty practicable one and only needing tue cooperation of the three elements most interest ed to insure it's success.

were much less numerous, barely mastering 300 persons, were pressed still farther back. Persons standing inside the entrance ball of a house within view of the doors of the Lycee were even compelled to re- treat into the interior of the house and the front door was closed. Absolutely nobody but police and soldiers were thus within 100 yards of Dreyfus when he crossed the Avenue De Ia Gere.
 The police authorities explain the rigor of the measures on the ground that yesterday few cries against the prisoner were raised while be was crossing the avenue. Not a discordant note was heard anywhere today.

 During the proceedings today a German dictionary was sent for and the correspondent here of the Asso- eiated Press learns from a sure source that when certain words and expressions could not be exactly understood, even with the aid of the dictionary, Dreyfus, who is a perfect German scholar, o'unteered a translation and vas allowed to give explanations which were of valuable assistance to the members of the court.
 ThE precautionary police measures today were very much more strin- gent than yesterday. Strong de taehments of infantry, instead of ger darmes, eordoned the streets leading to the Lyeee.

A MOTHERS DEBAUCH.
Maggie Peterson Neglects Her Child
and Steals a Roll of Bedding.

Another case Of a mothers cruelty and
depravity came to the knowledge OF the
police last night and the mother in ques-
ton, Maggie Peterson of 22912 Sixth street,
is now in the City Prison, charged with
petit larceny and cruelty to a child. The
infant daughter of the prisoner is being
cared for by the matron of the City
Prison and may be sent to some public
institution.
Police officer NJ T. Cooney was sum-
moned by the proprietor, James Tam, to
the house in which the Peterson woman
lived who said Mrs. Peterson had stolen
some bedding. The officer went to her
room and found Maggie in a drunken
stupor In her arms a baby girl, hungry,
unkempt and crying at the top of its weak
voice, was found. The baby was removed
from it's unpleasant position and then the
officer and proprietor of the place spent
half an hour in a fruitless effort to arouse
the woman. Failing to accomplish their
undertaking mother and child were re-
moved to the prison.
The arresting officer said that Maggie
had been drinking heavily for week and
hence no one knows what must have been
the baby's suffering during that period.
