The United States ship Ranger Under
Sealed Orders.

Sealed Orders.
CHICAGO, November ga special
to the Record from San Farncisco says:
The United States ship Ranger, now ly-
ing at Mare Island. has been quietly
fitted out for some long voyage, and ru-
mors are current that she is bent On
some secret mission. The officers Of
the warship refuse to discuss the ma
ture of the voyage. Several six-inch
guns are being placed in position on the
vessel. The only thing the officers VIII
admit Is that the Ranger has been or
dered to Panama and will sail early in
December.
Sealed instructions have been Teceiv-
ed from Washington, to be opened on
arrival at Panama. II Is believed by
naval men here that the Rangers utli-
mate destination is Manila, and that she
will be anchored for shore duty at some
Of the new ports recently taken from

The closest kind of an argument may
be expected Thanksgiving afternoon,
when Bethany College meets Wheeling
on the Island ball park gridiron. The
teams will be evenly matched in all
points of the game, and it will be
walkover for neither. Bethany opened
the season with Wheeling and lost by
one lone touchdown, but it has claimed
to assert its superiority on another
trial, and the students are very hope
full since they are much stronger Just
now than at any time this year.
They will come here with the best
eleven procurable, and will load up with
several stars, which Is allowable in
playing an athletic team. Coach Duffey
is getting them down to elegant condi-
ton for the big game, and he will add
a tower of strength, he being recogniz-
ed as without a peer in football tao
tics, and if given the ball and aided by
ldll IutClICiChCC, tltC leu anu OiuO "SUA
ers will have all kinds of trouble to
head him off from a touchdown.
Frank Kincheloe, who suffered from
tonsilitis few weeks ago, will be back
in the game in all his glory. Morning
ton, Blake, Slippner and Howard Ed
wards, the, latter of Moundsville, will
also show the stuff that made famous
the First West Virginia regiment team,
of which they were a part, and taken
all in all, the Wheeling team will be
the most representative of the best
talent in Greater Wheeling that ever
figured in football game in this sec
ton. Indoor practice will be INDUCED
in every evening under the tutelage of
old college men, the chief drilling being
In the signals.
Tickets for the game will go on sale
Wednesday, and large bunch will be
procured in advance by the Bethany
hosts. Space in the ball park is to be
reserved especially for carriages.

Microbes Set Fire to Haystacks.

There have been many theories to
account for the spontaneous combus'
ton Of haystacks. This phenomenon
is now ascribed to m;crobe which
breeds in the close, moist atmosphere
of the hay and causes fermentation
which generates heat, and finally
ignition. Herr Benesch, who has an
experimental farm at Meirhof, has
long been making tests Of hay under
various conditions of moisture and
pressure. During his experiments he
discovered method by which farmers
can always be cogniZant Of the state
Of the interior OF the stack. He has
devised kind of long form, by which
a sample of hay can be drawn from
any part OF stack at any time and
examined, to see whether it abnorm-
ally warm or not.--st. Louis Globe

Could Not Escape Fate.

Some peoples lives strongly, en-
phasize the assertions Of some other
people, who call themselves fatalists.
Such was the tragic ending of the life
of Miss Serena Green, who died in
Philadelphia the other week. Miss
Green at the time Of her death was
seventy-six years Of age. She was liT-
ing alone in her home and had always
used candles and lamps in preference
to gas, because she had had preju-
dice against it. In fact, there had
never been any gas pipes laid in her
house. The house two doors from
Miss Green's was occupied by her
nephew, and one n morning during the
cold snap when the family awakened
their house was filed with the odor CT
escaping gas. The family III the house
between Mr.. Alexander and his aunt
we're also so annoyed by the gas that
they were obliged to keep their win
dovs open. Mr.. Alexander dressed
and went to MS aunt's house to gee if
she was troubled in the same way.
Rings at the door bell failed to waken
the old lady. and the neig0ors finally
broke in the door. The gas poured
out in such volumes that they were
obliged to wait awhile before entering
When they did so, they found Miss
Serena calmly sleeping tho sleep Of
death. The gas in her house came
from a break of a pipe in the rear of
the middle house. It had forced its
way betwccr beams and rafter and
found an outlet in the house occupied
