The Bradford Post which is support
ing Mr.. Emery, in its issue Of last Sun
day gives its version of the challenge
given by Sibley to Emery at the Coop
erstown Harvest Home and says of Mr.
Sibley:
"He launched forth into a wordy
challenge for debate at the Utica
Harvest Home. Hon. j. w. Lee, who
was the next speaker, declined the
challenge for Mr.. Emery but added
that the latter would gladly meet Sibley
on the platform at the proper time and
place."
This was an acceptance of Mr.. Sib-
ley's challenge modified as to time and
place. Later, viz: Aug. 30, Mr.. Sibley
by letter renewed his challenge to Joint
discussions but up to this time has not
received a reply. 1t is about time Mr.
Emery would come out of his small
hole and say whether he will come to
the scratch or funk out. The proper
time and place can easily be arranged,
but the time is short. The proper time
is previous to election and the proper
place is in this district. Probably Mr.
Emery has heard of the Irishman who
was about to be hanged by the mob.
When asked what. kind of a tree he
would like to be hanged on said, ga
currant BUSH" When told that it would
be too small, he said he was willing to
wait till it grew. Emery wants to meet
Sibley on the platform about the time
the currant bush would be tree and
not minute sooner.-Bradford Star.

Cause of Death.

Two weeks ago the PRESS was pain
ed to announce the sudden death of
little Miss Ida Mcdonald, at Glen Ne
Wis, Ont. The cause of her death was
not given her sister, Mrs. Alex. Nc

From the alexandria Glendarian we
note her death was caused by fire.
While working about a stove at her
brothers residence her clothing caught
fire severely burning the young lady,
who died within a few hours, more
from the shock than the burns.

Improvement Awards.

| Every man, woman and child should
feel an interest in his country, his
State, his town, his village, his home
and should seek to make it prosperous
and beautiful. Let every home be
more beautiful and prosperous, and the
prosperity of the nation is assured. 1t
is the clean, neat village that bids high
to the worthy man or family seeking
place of permanent domicile. 1t is the
pretty cottage in that neat village sur
rounded with flowers, bordering a
shaven green lawn, that soonest re-
ceives their attention and opens most
freely their purses. The tidy home is
one Of the strongest inducements to
live pure lives and to make that home
a place where all it's members, old and
young delight to spend all the time
they can, and from which flows an in
cessant stream of usefulness. 1t is not
the flowers alone that attracts atten-
ton in such q home, but invariably
you will find patch vegetable fruits
in large or small as space and means
allow from which many inviting plates
have been gathered to make glad the
palate for which the beautiful bouquet
has preparedit. Everything that tends
to produce this result is worthy of our
approval. Last spring prizes were of
tered for the purpose of inducing the
people to give more attention to beau
tifying their home, their gardens, or
their surroundings generally and MAX
ing them more useful and profitable to
themselves and through them to the
community and the world at large.
Two prizes were offered in each
Ward-one of $500 and one of So. 90
conditioned that the contestants in each
ward must make known their inten-
ton to contest. The contestants were,
East ward, T. Hacket, r. Hacket, B.
Leutze and w. Lyons; Middle ward,
White, Snyder, Lind, Olson and Gau-
dis; West ward, Narby, Ritchie. Lud-
lum, Kaye and Metzger The judges
were to award prizes, mot for absolute
excellence) but for most Improvement,
and general appearance as well as
special features, such as flowers, vines,
vegetables, gardens, &c. The judges
find as follows:
East ward, 1st prize Mrs. Y. N. Hacket So. 90
East ward, I'd prize, Mrs. VIM. Lyons s.... 90
Middle ward, 1st prize Mrs. j. NJ. Olson, 49,. 500
Middle ward I'd prize, Mrs. w. ID. White 800
West ward, 1st prize, MIS-. John Narby, 100
west ward, I'd prize, Mrs. G. Metzger Jr.,... 800
The judges in looking over the vii
lage find many places where much has
been done by way of improvement,
which in their opinion deserves espe-
cial mention, where it is not in their
province to award prize, viz: Mrs. r.
Seger, flower garden, front yard, Mrs.
}. Barner, flower garden, front yard,
and Miss Raymond, lawn and vines.
They further recommend a prize of
S1.oo each to Mrs. Snyder, Middle ward,
and Mrs. Ludlum, West ward, for their
effort

The rooms given over to the sport were
banked with spectators and the work of
the sixteen entries was watched with
more than ordinary interest Bottle bill
lizards was the sport, and some pretty
shots were made. The game began at
1880 and it was well after the noon hour
before the game was completed and the
winners announced by the referees.
The first prize, a handsome diamond
scarf pin, was captured by Mat Jensen,
while the second, also a diamond scarf
pin, went to Aid. B. F. Krauft. The con-
ISOLATION prize, box of cigars, went to
John Wharry.
The race for the latter prize lay be-
tween Mr.. Wharry and George F.

Chicago Eleven Wins Game After
Five Defeats.

Five Defeats.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Chicago, Is; Mich
igan, 6.
The University of Chicago eleven de-
feated for five times in succession,
wound up the football season of 1900 to-
day by scoring three touchd5wns on Mich
igan, and, with the exception of a few
minutes in the first half, completely out
played them. Michigan scored first, get
ting the ball on a tumble in Chicago's
territory, and by line plunges in which
the old Princeton tandem formation was
correctly used, carrying it straight down
the field and across the line. But that
was their last chance for scoring. Fiji
teen minutes later Chicago had buclzed
its way nearly seventy yards and across
the Michigan goal line. Early In the
game Chicago found a weak spot in the
Michigan line. 1t was at left tackle, ard
against this spot Perkins and Sheldon
were hurled until White, completely ex-
hausted by the terrific hammering, was
forced to leave the game. In the second
half, with the score to 5 against them,
the Maroons, playing fast football, and
showing beautiful team work, started in
to win. Twice they forced the pigskin
twice the maize and blue fighting under
the shadow of their own goal posts held
for downs. But Sweeley's punting was
poor and when for the third time Chi
cago reached the same spot the Michigan
forwards gave way and the game was
won. Chicago's third touchdown came
much easier Even after Bliss had re-
lieved White at tackle, Fell opened I'D
big holes for the Maroon backs to plunge
through, and when time was called for
the end Of the game Chicago was gain
ing from one TO three yards on a down.
After scoring their first and only touch
down, Michigan was unable to make ma
terial Roadway through the Chicago line
on straight football, and Sweeley time
and again was forced to punt A false
kick resulted in the longest run a Mich
igan man made in the game. SweeIev
getting round left end for Twenty-Five
yards for play of this kind. The teams
lined I'D as follows:
