A Complaint.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-As much as l dislike to reflect
upon the management of the street rail-
way. | cannot help but call attention
to the inconvenience that four travel
lers were compelled to undergo yester-
day afternoon shortly after three
O'Clock. They hailed a Bellaire car,
but no attention was paid TO their hail
ing. though all of them were shouting
vigorously. AS a result they were COM
PEELED to wait twenty minutes longer
for the next car, very much to their
annoyance. X.

The big coal famine which all of the
dailieS Of the large cities are talking
about is heading this way, and the
price Of coal is bound to 20 up in the
near future. The price will be higher
this winter than it was ever known
to be before. The rise in price last
summer is still maintained and the
dealers are expecting notification from
the mine operators of a big rise
10 the Wholesale price, which, OF
course, will be followed necessarily by
the re all delealers. Tie famine is
supposed 10 be caused by the recent

AFRICAN GOLD.

The stoppage of an annual gold pro-
duction of sos, 100000 in the South At
rican mines will not prove as serious
an injury to the business of the world
as loss of this amount would have
proved few years ago. The worlds
gold production in 1898 was $2S7, 000,-
600, of which SOS 900, 10000 was from the
South African mines, and the estimate
for the year 1899 is 1920, 100000 for the
entire world, including S75,0OO,oo0 from
1.-THE South African mines. This indi-
Gates that the world, outside of South
Africa, is producing from 1925, 00O,O 900
to $250,ooO,o00 of gold per annum, or
more than double what was produced
year ago. Prior to 1850 the average
annual product of gold in the entire
world never reached more than about
$50, 100000. But from that time up to
1890 it averaged about $12O,OO0,O0O an
inually. From 1890 up to the present
time, however, the growth has been
very rapid, being in 1898 $685., 000, 900, Of
which sos, 100000 was from the African
mines, with estimates for 1899 of $780,
100000, including $75,OOO,OOO from
South Africa. Thus, if the African
mines were wiped out of existence, the
gold production from other parts of
the world would be double the average
between 1850 and 1890, and from ten
to twenty times the average of the
years between 1900 and 1850.

try, which was published in Saturdays
Courier, it might be seen that Ottum-
wa stood eighth in the list, being led
only by Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha,
st. Louis, indianapolis, st. Joseph aud
Cincinnati. During the period Ottum-
wa packed $4,000 hogs, an increase OF
5000 over the same period last year.
This city leads all the towns in Iowa
as well as such other big packing cen.
tiers as Cudahy, Wis, Cleveland, St.
Paul, Milwaukee and Louisville. OF
tumwa packed 1900 more hogs than
Sioux City, $1,000 more than Cedar
Rapids, and $4,000 more than Marshall
town. This is in the face OF the fact that
Sioux City and Cedar Rapids have been
taking considerable pride of late in the
bighess of their packing plants, and
seem TO be wondering why some more
houses are not started in those places
When anyone wants to start a new
packing house, he will probably come
to Ottumwa to do it, for he can always
be sure of plenty of hogs and a good
market at Ottumwa.

ABOUT CITY LAWS s

No one need have died OF ennui in
this city last Sunday evening. for any
one in search of excitement might have
had his fill. To begin with there was
a fight on the principal corner in the
business part of town, during the
progress of which bullets flew, and
one man was fatally shot. Next the
homes of two of the most prominent
residents of the city were entered and
burglarized. Then a newsstand was
broken into and several residences in
the West End of the city were troub-
led with burglars. Aside from this the
police court Monday morning contains
ed goodly array of DRINKS and va
grants. 81 8 j,

BILE credit to itself of late for being a

people ask what is the reason of the
present lawlessness and disturbance.

AN EPOCH IN COLLEGE
ATHLETICS.

The speech OF President Eliot OF
Harvard at the banquet given toithei
Harvard boat crews is the most nota-I
bic utterance on athletics of the pres,
ent season. It's effect should be to
arouse an even greater interest on the
part of students of Harvard in it's
teams, for they now have the support
of the president, who has always been
understood to be opposed to the prom
inence given athletics in our institu-.
tons of higher education.
But it is not to Harvard alone that
President Rliot's speech is of inter-
est. Its words Should have a meaning
for every college in the country, for
they show recognition on the part Of
the head of our Oldest university that
a new epoch in athletics has opened
an epoch in which broader spirit
shall prevail. In past years Harvard,
Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania have
claimed that high grade athletics ex-
listed only on their own fields, and the
public, with all reason, has been I'M
clined to agree with them. Gamessgiyt
en- by one of these to other COLLEGES
have been regarded as concessions, as
practice games" especially If with a
western team, and could only be PLAYED
on the home ground. But President Ell
lot recognizes that the day OF the
big Four's" supremacy is at an end
and probably sounds the note of what
will be Harvard's athletic policy in the
future, and of what must be the policy
of other big eastern institutions, when
he says: Il believe in Harvard seek
ing the best competitors all around,
everywhere, the very best, and not ny
ing itself to any one"
This can only be taken to mean that
Harvard teams will be permitted to
come west-a trip taken but once by 4
member OF the "Big Four" and that
only three weeks ago by Pennsylvania.
And when Harvard takes this step it
will only be a matter of time until Yale
and Princeton will follow. It is high
ly probable that in two or three years
the teams of the east and the teams
of the west will be meeting each other,
not as a concession from the eastern
men, but on equal terms.
Although President Eliot seems to
have put himself on record as fayorine
such a change of policy, the change,
when it does come cannot be ascribed
to his, OF the words of any other man
of the east. The east has not grown
generous. The cause is to seek else
where, and is to be found in the fact
that the west has grown strong. The
foot ball teams Of at least three or four
Of our western universities have work
ed their way to a position where they
must be recognized as worthy rivals OF
any team of the east.
Friends of college athletics will all
rejoice when a policy of equality shall
be instituted against the colleges of the
east and the west. Be the cause OF
such a policy what it will, the change
will certainly be fastened by the ,atti-
tude OF President Eliot,

GATES AT THE CROSSINGS.

The Courier hopes that the project
now being agitated in this city for the
placing of automatic safety gates at
the various points where the railroads
cross the streets will be brought to a
successful conclusion. This movement
should cetainly meet with the approx
al and help Of every citizen. The ron-
dition of affairs now existing is decid-
eddy bad. 1t is dangerous not only
for women and children to cross the
'unguarded railway tracks, but it is to
say the least exciting for men as we'll.
The majority of the crossings in the
city are dangerous because the view of
the track and consequently of on
coming trains is INSTRUCTED. The cross
ings at Main, Vine and jefferson
streets and at Iowa avenue are the
worst in the city, and these very cross
ings are the ones which are used the
most. AT the Market street crossing
a fiagman islstationed during the day
time, but there is absolutely no protec-
ton of any kind during the night, in
the early hours of which there is much
travel at this point. Many school chill
dren ara obliged TO cross the tracks on
their way to and from public school,
and the life of one of these is woth
quite all that it would cost to supply
gates at the crossings. ottumwa is. be-
hind other cities of her size and posi-
ton in this matter, and it is to be
hoped that she will catch up with the
procession at once. Common regard
for the safety Of the lives of the citi-
zens demands that the city council take
steps in the direction of establishing
gates at the railway crossings at once.

The death of a foot ball player in a
class game at the. State University a
few days ago will furnish many people
with another argument for the aboli-
ton of the sport. Because an accident
occurs in foot ball now and then foot
ball is bad, and should be put down.
This argument will be stuck to by
some folks in spite of the fact that sta
tistics show that fewer injuries are re-
ceived in football than in the seeming
ly harmless sports of bicycling, skating
and sailing. Men who play football
are physical giants and are not easily
hurt. 1t is only when fellows who are
out of condition, try to play football
that serious injuries result. This was
the case at Iowa City the other day.
An Ottumwa lady has letter from
her brother who took the injured
mans place in the game at Iowa City,
in which he says that none of them
had any business to be playing. Foot
ball under such conditions is dangerous
and should be suppressed. Otherwise
tits a healthful, manly sport. 4
