BROWN DEFEATED
By University of Chicago Team-Ma-
rooms outpointed Rhode Islanders.

rooms Outp0tnted Rhode Islanders,
CHICAGO, Nov. SO.-The University
OF Chicago finished her triumphant ser
les to-day, by defeating Brown by a
score Of II to g.. Only twice in the game
did Brown menace the maroon goal, and
each time Chicago braced with fine
spirit and saved her goal from the
rushes OF the Rhode Islanders. From
center to end tho maroons outpolnted
Brown and gave an exhibition OF con-
slstent defence, which she has seldom
surpassed.
At no time was Brown able to score
through the line, while Chicago found
large holes at will, and sent her fast
backs around the visitors ends for
spectacular runs. Back OF the line,
Richardson proved a Jewel for Brown
and made the only score for the visitors.
In the return of punts, both kicking
and running, he showed himself to be
one OF the cIeverest backs in the coun-
try. Hnpgood also played brilliant
game for Brown and almost scored sin
gle-handed before Chicago rallied with
her back to the goal posts. With de-
feat staring her in the face, Brown
made a grand rally In the second half
and seemed to gain strength as the half
progressed. When darkness interviewed
she had scored and was charging into
chlcago's line with fierce low rushes
that showed that her spirit was not
broken.
Without Captain Kennedy, chIcaEo'S
defense was still fnutttess, and he. af-
fense lacked little of Its accustomed
force,
The day was ideal, and 10000 ptople
crowded the big stands and sang to the
music OF tho band.

FROM KIMBERLEY

Comes Report Of Firing in Direction
of spytfontein-Proximity Of Re-
lieving Forces Cheered the earri-
son.
KIMBERLEY, Friday Nov. a. Via
KLoKFoNTEIN, Nov, 27-Thcre were
n few rifle shots early to-day from the
direction Of wrights Farm, but this
was regarded as merely one OF the
numerous Boer tricks to draw our men
out by inducing us to believe that the
relieving forces are drawing near.
This afternoon the Beers blew up two
large culverts near the rifle butts on
the railway line toward spytfonteIn.
The news of the proximity OF the re-
lIeving forces greatly chcered the gar
rIson and the inhabitants. A few Boers
were seen to-day. but It Ia believed that
tho enemy is In only small bands
around Kimberley, In lots of nifty or so,
the greater part having gone to Spyt'
fonteln, where firing lB believed to
have been heard about noon.
From KRtilr sources comes n report
that there are two large Boer laagers
at Ollfante Dam, with $50 wagons for
water supply. The Beers haye cut the
existing dam three miles distant, nl-
lowing the water to run down toward
their laagers into an old dry dam on
the farm. This Is believed to be the
Free State base Of operations on the
western border.
An nrmorcd train proceeded toward
DronReld to rcconnolter, but this Inn
medlntcly aroused the Cnemy's corditc
gun and the train returned Nfter the
NTH shell had been fired.
The Beers are now firing on the res
Crvoir fort from Wimbledon.

Reform The Wrong Way

One of the arguments used when the
voters handed over the whole state gov
eminent in the election Of 1898 was
that the Democrats had doubled the
Governors salary from $1,000 to $1,000
a year, and INDUCED in other alleged
extravagances. When John W. Griggs
became Governor with al overwhelm-
ing Republican majority in the Legis-
lature retrenchments and reform was
expected.
The only economy made was to save
500, 900 a year by stopping the pub
LEGATION of the laws in the newspapers
to keep the people from knowing what
laws are passed. Every bill to reduce
the Governors salary has been smOth-
cred, while the expenditure have in
creased with reckless eXtrayaganees as
the following figures will show:
