REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield, H., Nov. 2s.-The second team
of the University of Illinois today de-
feated the Springfield football players by
i score of q to o.
The field was n solid mass of mud. through

ness the toughest game played here this
season. Two of the Springfield players were
injured and were carried from the field.
Ned Fowler, who played right guard. was
taken to the Springfield Hospital. At first
il was thought that three ribs and n hip
were broken, but the attending physician IS
unable to ascertain the exact injury. owing
to the intense swelling that has taken
place. 1t is his belief. however, that no
bcres are broken, and that Fowler will not
be laid up long unless internal injuries,
which are feared, develop.
Charles Headenberg, Springfield's left
guard, was badly hurt about the head. The
extent of his injuries cannot be determined,
although it Is; feared thai he may be per

The Great Strike.

The long expected strike of coal
miners in the anthracite coal region Of
which Hszeltine, Pa. is the center, is on.
10000 miners went out Monday. That
number is said to exceed the number
ever engaged in a strike before in the
country's history. Six thousand more
went out, Tuesday. Both the men and
the mine operators are firm and the
prospect of settlement is not favorable.
The anthracite coal operators need ex-
pect no aid from the bituminous opera.
tors in their struggle against the miners.
At recent meeting of the operators of
this district it was decided not to NEEDLE
in the trouble of the eastern district.
They are having plain sailing at present
and do not desire to court trouble.
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Company reported 36 of their 80
mines In operation, Tuesday.
Miners were ordered out by the Miners
Union to secure an advance of wages
and for certain other advantages to them.
The miners claim that, with present
competition, they are paying all they
can afford to. The two sides fatty deny
the propositions of the other and it is
hard to say which are the nearest right,
but the condition is an exceedingly SER
ieus one for the people and the business
interests of the country, particularly the
sections eastward of the PENNSYLVANIA
anthracite coal fields, whose supply for
domestic purposes comes almost wholly
from that region.
A concession was voluntarily granted
the $4,000 employees of the Lehigh Coal
q Navigation company in the region
west of Mauch Chunk who will hereafter
work ten hours day with consequent
increase in earnings. These men were
unorganIzed and had not presented any
grievances.
The action of the 400 or more employees
of the West End Coal company at
Mocamaqua near Wilkesbarre, in stick
ing to their work stands out prominent
" as the busy feature of an otherwise
idle territory. They say they have no
grievances.
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest,
" no has been an interesting figure on
the strike, made statement 10 the
public presenting an argument in behalf
OF arbitration and urging both sides to
get together
This morning the reports are that the
plumber OF striking miners had been in
creased to 10000, 20 per cent of the
mine workers in the region affected by
the trouble. Efforts for a settlement
continue.

The Mock Trial.

The mock trial, advertised in the

The official makeup of the court was
Hon. s. j. Walton, Judge; Fred F.

attorney was Col. A. V. Newton of Wor.
cester,. Mass.
Col. W. r. @. Estes was the complain

Plymouth Rock rooster, Miles Standish,
and Abel Fl. Patten was the respondent.
The witnesses for the state were: G. W.
Cover, Esq, Augustine Simmons, Esq,
Sheriff Pencil and the complainant
The witnesses for the defense were,
Forrest Goodwin, ESQ.,, Chester H.
Mills, Esq, Daniel Lewis, ESQ.,, and the
respondent.
The Jurors were Jefferson Savage,

With the exception of the attorneys in

ton at Picking, secured for him privi-
lege never before that time accorded to

Coffee is a powerful irritant Of the
cerebro spinal nervous system. Re-
cent tests have shown that it increases
mental and bodily waste rather than
retards it, as has been claimed. Cof-
fee poisoning is sometimes mistaken
for the troubles engendered by the use
of alcohol. In both cases the stomach
and nervous system are the sufferers.
Caffeic and alcoholic gastrits are
nearly Identical as TO their symptoms.
The uee of coffee by children las in
several cases caused an arrest Of de-
velopment. Cases have been reported
of delirium tremens brought on by the
excessive use of coffee. 1t Is related
in a foreign medical journal that a
man, in the absence of his wife, UNI
dertook to make his own coffee. Not
knowing the correct proportions for
use, he took about one-quarter of
pound of fresh roasted coffee for two
cups. Two hours afterward he COM
planned of vertigo. headache and, at
first, trembling of the legs only, which
soon became general. followed by sew
eral other distressing symptoms, some
of which continued a day or two
longer.
By busy physician it is stated that
at least two-thirds of his practice
comes from the excessive use of coffee.
The excessive use OF tea and coffee,
as well as the use of alcoholic liquors,
often almost wholly obliterates the
sense of taste.-Health Culture.

Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
owing to the drought in the early part
of the season, will have great shortage
of their wheat crop and in some places
nearly a total failure. Other grains are
very light, though corn and potatoes are
far ahead of the average. Kansas, on
the contrary in the amount of wheat it
raises, will break its record with a crop
of $1,000, 900 bushels rhe best previous
record was 10 100000 bushels in 1892
SO per cent of the present crop may be
rated good and 16 per cent "medi
