feat Wapello.

Wapello, Nov. 5.-(Special.) THE
second and last clash of the season
between the All-Ottumwa team and
the Wapello Indians resulted disas-
trously to the Indians. The game was
called promptly at p. m. on one of
the most perfect fields one could ask
for in the fair ground at Wapello.
There was strong wind blowing
from the south, but as the field lay
east and west, neither side profited
thereby. There was good attend
ance.
The Indians kicked off to the fifteen
yard line, and Ottumwa in returning
was forced out of bounds, advancing
about ten yards. The bail then went
on tumble to the Indians, who, how.
ever, lost the ball on downs. Ottum-
wa then commenced series of end
runs netting them thirty yards, M.

this in long run around left. OF
tumwa lost the ball on downs and the
Indians had the ball well under way,
when Templeton made a neat steal
from Stephens, and with clear field
ran thirty yards for touchdown
Templeton kicked goal.
| Ottumwa took the kickoff on their
twenty yard line, advancing fifteen;
being forced to kick they punted fifty
yards. Hale fumbled and Ottumwa
again took the ball. The indians held
well at this point and their opponents
being forced to kick tried place kick
| from the twenty yard line, Col. Muir
| ply successfully making the kick for
goal.
| Ottumwa received the kickoff on
their fifteen year line, and advanced
the ball about seven yards in the two
and one-half minutes remaining in the
| first half.
The second half opened with long
kick of forty yards to the right, the
| Indians advancing ten yards, and by
alternate end runs gained another ten,
being forced to kick. Ottumwa block
| ed the ball, but it rebounded and the
Indians regained possession, and were
soon forced to punt again, which they
| did for thirty yards. After ten yard
run around left and loss of five yards
| Templeton made two runs of twenty
and eight yards each. A few short
piunges and Ottumwa had the ball on
the Indians ten-yard line, but in long
run to left the ball was fumbled and
captured by Thomas near the Indians
five yard line. At this juncture the In
dams commenced playing snapper
ball, Lacey made gain after gain thru
Ottumwa's right and in the three min
utes left to play advanced the ball
| fifty yards to the center of the field,
when time was called on the second
half.
In general the game was slow, and
the only time when any snap at all
was shown was in the last three min
utes play in the second half by the
Indians. Ottumwa had the heavier
team by an average of fifteen pounds,
| and played better ball thruout the
game. The Indians take their defeat
gracefully and add the second defeat
to their, history, which covers space
of six years active playing.

[From Saturdays Daiiy.1
The total number of hogs received
at the packing house of John Morrell
& Co. for the week ending yesterday
was 10000 against $4,000 the proceed
ing week. There is not much gain in
the current movement of hogs. West
ern packing represents $4,000, COM
pared with 435,OO0 the proceeding
week, and 5000 two weeks ago. For
the corresponding time last year the
number was 455,000, and two years
ago 100000. The quality of the offer
ings is irregular, there being a con-
siderable number of unfinished ami
mails among the marketings. Prices
at the close average about 5 cents per
100 pounds lower than week ago, and
40@45 cents higher than year ago..
The so-called summer season closed
with October 81. Recent information
from points from which current week
ly returns have not been regularly
available indicates that approximately
$4,000 more hogs have been packed
during the eight months than calcula-
lions have recognized. With this al
lowance the aggregate packing in the
west has reached 14,s00,000 for the
period from March 1 to November L,
against 13,525.900 last year-an in
crease of 5000, or per cent.
The most important gain in number
of hogs killed during the eight months
compared with last year has been at
st. Joseph, representing an increase
of 100000. Sioux City made the decid-
ed gain of 10000, and Kansas City
$4,000.
