AGED MIsER DEAD.
William Burke, a Miser of MarengO,
Ill LeaVeS a Large Estate


Ill, Leaves a Large Estate.
MARENGO, Ill, Nov. 18.-William
Burke died at his home here today at
the remarkable age of 10 years. He was
a miser, and leaves property worth many
thousands of dollars.
Burke was born in Germany in 1889, and
came to the United States about sixty
years ago For time he was a peddler,
but later commenced buying old iron and
bones He accumulated some money, and
by investing it carefully added to it. After
he was independently rich he continued to
buy old bones and rags and begged from
door to door. He was penurious in every
respect, and often went for days without
eating He lived on the town for several
years, as the authorities were not aware
of his wealth. After his death a large
amount of money in greenbacks and gold
was found sewed IN his clothes
He leaves two children, and even they
were not aware Of his wealth until the pa
pers showing his ownership of large tracts
Of land were found in his clothes today.
There are numerous relatives who claim
a share in his estate, and there will be a
contest for the property left. He was
small in stature, and often wandered
about the streets in the coolest weather
with barely enough to cover his body in
order to curry sympathy and secure
money from susceptible persons. The fu-
neral will be held tomorrow.

said that Minnesota was outplayed,
thanks to the wonderful kicking Prov
ess of O'Dea
The defense put up by the Gopher ath-
letes was nothing short Of marvellous
1t was a fight between veterans and re-
cruits, and the old ones were given a
mill such as they had never dreamed
of. Minnesota was considered mush, bRt
she outdid herself and gave the much
touted Wisconsiners a rub that was
worth tramp of miles to see.
At the end of the first half the score
stood to 0. Phil Kings proteges were
taken off their feet. They had bargain
ed for a gold brick. They had found
some real gilt.
The first was Minnesota's half Not
only on the defense, but in aggressive
play as well. And that in spite of Capt
Pat O'Dea's kangaroo leg.
No one had expected a victory for Min
nesota. But few looked for anything
but a large score, and the monstrous
crowd of rooters were paralyzed with
JOY when the referees whistle announced
the finish of play of the first
half. Time after time did Minnesota
hold their big opponents on downs, and
time after time did they break through
the husky Badger forwards and tackle
the runner behind the line.
It was a game filed with sensational
plays. The tackling was sharp and fierce
The runs were fast and furious The
onslaughts against the lines were des-
perate and determined. The grit, the
pluck, the endurance were wonderful and
never tagging. The whole game was
played at a killing pace and spoke well
for the development of the science of
football in the West. Neither side was
penalzed, and not man ruled off the
field.
But Wisconsin-the athletic Wisconsin
-undoubted champion of the West-was
not to be denied She came to Minnesota
with an unsullied record. Not college
nor university had scored against her,
with the single exception of Yale. Even
the sons of Ell had been given a scare
that had made the rooters Old
TURN OF THE TIDE.
The second half belonged to Wisconsin.
The Badgers started off on this stretch
with desperation born OF defeat-for
tie would have been a defeat in Wiscon-
sins eyes.
O'Dea made beautiful drop kick from
Minnesota's forty-yard line, and this was
the beginning of the scoring. The at
lacks against the Minnesota line were ter
rifle, crushing, frightful. At one time this
bGttering ram drove the little pigskfn
spheroid for forty yards. The cardinal
men banged their way through the fight
ing Minnesotans till the ball was but a
single yard from the Minnesota goal line.
1t was done with a hammerng so per-
sistent, so tireless that 1t seemed rs
though nothing could Withstand 1t. But
something did. 1t was the desperate
eleven, almost despised on account OF
weakness by their more successful rivals.
Minnesota made a rally that made the
blood of the crowd run cold for an In
slant The next 1t was boiling over
The multitude was frenzied in their joy
BY sheer grit and gameness the charge OF

MANY SOLDIERS SICK.
Climate Is Telling on the TrOOpi
In the Philippines.


In the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1S-Many army
officers now in the Philippines are likely
10 be retired prematurely on account OF
incapacity. Gen. Otis was struck with the
large number OF older officers of his COM
mand, who were constantly on the sick
list or who were applying for sick leave.
The surgeons have had their hands full
attending to the disabled officers, and in
many instances have reported the
patients unfit for duty.
Gen. Otis was led to ask the war de-
partment for a board which should sit IN
Manila and before which he might order
those officers who were pronounced by
the doctors as incapacitated. The depart
ment furnished Gen. Otis with the names
of ten high ranking officers to furnish the
personnel of such board, and gave Otis
authority to order officers before the
board for examination. 1t is expected
large number of the senior officers with
troops in the Philippines will be reported
for retirement on account of physical dis
ability, many of them having served and
been wounded in the campaign Of San
tiago.
This is true In the case with Capt.
Brett of the Twenty-fOurth infantry, who
has been recommended for retirement. He
was shot in the elbow in Cuba and has

Manila. Gen. Otis also recently asked for
twenty additional surgeons. He has found
that the army doctors have had all they
could do with the troops widely distribut-
ed and the sick lists growing week by
week.
The climate is telling upon the officers
and men, and while the disabilities are
not serious, it is necessary that doctor
shall attend each separate command, if
the health of the corps In. the Philippines
is to be preserved. Gen. Otis request
has been complied with, and there are
now in the Philippines or under orders for
the islands about fifty surgeons. Gen. Otis
has been advised of this, and has notified

for medical officers is ample for the pres
