The L.A.A.C. football team have prom
ised the people Of Lewiston Thanksgiv-
ing game. Owing to unavoidable circuni-
stances they must disappoint them and
believe that an explanation is due. A
second time this season the team have
been the victims of an unsportsmanlike
and inexcusable treatment. First, At the
hands Of the Spokane A. A. c., now by
the y. Of I.
The record Of the Lewiston team has
been without reproach. Every agreement
has been fulfilled to the letter.
Early in the season game was ar
ranged with Pullman. But six Of thei,
players were at hand. Defeat was certain
but they fulfilled their agreement; me,
the collegiaus with an aggregation that
had never lined up together before. A
game was arranged with Spokane. Be.
fore the game came off they read the
score with Walla Wall. and all at once
concluded that their team was not 6t L
play.
Moscow was disappointed in her game
for the I7th. She asked the Lewistons
to come aud play, saying that game
was essential to the welfare of her team
The request was gladly complied with
and in return she was asked to play al
Lewiston Thanksgiving. A game was
promised and every arrangement made.
At late hour Lewiston's manager was
called up and told that he must guaran.
tee $50 and expenses or could have nc
game. The arrogance, the presumptuous
spirit of sucha proposition justly aroused
the indignation of every man on the
team. So anxious were they to defeat q
team that would make such proposal
that they accepted the terms. Upon re-
ceiving the acceptance Moscow came
to the conclusion that her team
had disbanded and could not be
brought together for the game. If the
truth were known she too realizes that It
was the condition of her grounds and not
her playing that prevented her defeat the
last game. and that Thanksgiving game
would 90 hard with her reputation.

Selinsgrove Times.
"Thc Middleburg Post has been
appealing to the people OF Snyder
county to protect an old log
hut near kreamer by saying it
was an old fort and was built for
that purpose in the days when the
Red Skins were in possession OF
Middlecreek Valley. We always
doubted the Posts saying in that
matter. The building might have
been fire water camp tor the early
settlers, but we doubt if it ever con-
tained any powder ard shot, of any
amount, for war purposes"
The claim of the Posi- that the
block house at kreamer was usec
by the pioneers as place OF refug'
is substantiated by the Indian Fort
Commission of Pennsylvania, als'
by Ira c. Schoch, old Matthia
! Dauberman now deceased, and 9th
ers. Ifthe Times wishes do disput
our claims it should cite some au
thOrity.

Our rain-gauge as adopted by TIE
Weather Bureau consists ofa funnel
shaped receiver, surmounted by a
cylinder l ] inches in length and s
inches in diameter. The funnel is
placed in cylindrical reservoir
2.53 inches in dia meter and 20
inches in height. The area of the
cross-section of the reservoir is to
that of the receiver as one to ten, or
l inch of rain falling in the receiver
corresponds with 10 inches of water
IN the gauge. The rainfall collected
in the gauge is measured by means
Of a graduated rod, marked inches
and tenth; 1 inch 90 spaces) on the
rod corresponds to 0.l (0.lO of an
inch of rain, and O.1 of an inch |
space on the rod to O.Ol of an inch
of rain and so on. 1t is very sell
dom that we have a continuous rain
fall of one inch with the same velC-
city during the period required.
Hoping this will be satisfactory
explanation to enable you to answer
the question referred to. Ifyoude-
sire any other information. on the
subject or any information | may lie
able to give you, I will cheertully
do so. Yours respectfully,

Query ANSWERED.

Editor PosT.-Please explain the
meaning Of an inch of rain as there
are great many here who do not
understand why an inch OF rain fall
causesa flood.
Lowell, Pa. SUBSCRIBER.
We have referred the above ques-
ton to John M. Boyer, Snyder
County's representative of the U. s.
Weather Bureau and give his reply
below:
Seliusgrove, Pa, June %, 1900.
Mr.. Geo. w. Wagenseller, Ed. Pest,
Middleburgh, Pa.
DEAR SIR Replying to your
question / will give you the follow
ing. The measurement of rain fall
is to measure the depth of the sheet
of water that would lie on level
ground after a rain if none of the
water were lost by evaporation or by
soaking into the soil. If you con.
slider that a fall of rain measuring
one inch in depth, corresponds t.
the deposit of 25,2oO gallons pei
acre, therefore it is possible for an
inch of rain fall to produce flood
1t has been the case heretofore.

ton and if they have not contribut-
ed their share, they should not shirk
their duty. Perhaps they have done
this, we have not been informed.
When we say they should contribute
their share, we do not say that their
apportionment should be equivalent
to that of Denver capitalists, but it
should be something. The students
of Susquehanna University carry
a great deal of money into the town
of Selinsgrove every year and the
business men there profit by this.
No college is self-sustaining without
a good-sized endowment. Hence 1t
must have help. 1t remains for the
people OF Selinsgrove to do their full
share and not run the risk OF losing
the school.
Now let us consider the other
side. President Heisler and a por-
ton of the Board of Directors pro-
pose moving the institution to Sum
bury, if the people OF that town
raise $4,000 cash to erect new
buildings and donate site. ltwould
appear that the president had very
little patience, and in addition failed
to appreciate the difference between
the financial ability of the people OF
Selinsgrove and Denver capitalists.
Sunbury is well-ftted Tor industrial
enterprises, and no doubt better than
Selinsgrove, but the latter is better
fitted tor an educational institution,
because the temptations in Snyder
County's metropolis are reduced to
minimum, while we venture to say,
there is not man in Sunbury who
is willing to make comparison on
this score. If the people OF Sunbury
canget the collegeon these terms, they
are very fortunate and we give them
credit for doing all in their power to
secure it. 1t is a good business pro-
position, but who knows, but in a
year or so vacillating president
may sell out to the people of Har-
risburg for 100000 and site and
move there.
There is another and very inn
portant consideration andif a change
is made, one which will involve end
less litigation and eventually will
result in heavy losses by both sides
and result in two weak institutions.
A legacy of $4,000 was given to
the Theological Seminary Of Selins-
grove to be used as an endowment.
How can that he used at Sunbury? ?
This is vital question and if the
people of Sunbury figure on getting
this endowment, they figuring with
out their host.
Go slow, gentlemen. To move
an institution is no easy matter. Get
your heads together and heal the
breach. 1t is better for the institu-
tion, better for Selinsgrove and bet
ter for Sunbury.

Moving Susquehanna University.

The people of Selinsgrove and the
friends OF Susquehanna University
generally are in a turmoil concern
ing the question of removing the in
stitution from Selinsgrove to Sum
bury, Pa. The matter involves not
only the students and the Lutheran
church, but the people of Snyder
County generally. We believe it is
the sphere of a newspaper that holds
in high esteem the well-being OF its
patrons and the intellectual welfare
of the community in general to dis
cuss in a friendly way the merits OF
question such as this.
We shall endeavor to be impartial
in the expression of views and to
diminish anil net 10 increase the gap
which seems to exist between a por.
ton of the board of trustees and the
people of Selinsgrove. The benefits
of an educationaal institution in any
community can better be measured
by having lost it than in any other
way. If we are pardoned thread
bare axiom, but as true to-day as
ever, "you never miss the water till
the well runs dry" We trust the
people of Selinsgrove will not have
occasion to learn in a negative way
the value of an educational institu-
ton. About 40 years ago Missionary
Institute and Su.quehanna Female
College were charted. The people
of that locality contributed land and
gave largely Of their means totound
the institution now the bone Of con-
tention. Missionary Institute strug-
gled along and only during recent
years has the college shown more
rapid advancement. There was re-
Gently indicted into the Office of
President man fresh from the
Rocky Mountain gold fields that he
might give more life and activity to
the school. We are told he is q
good man and a brilliant fellow
We know he can electrify an au'
dience. He came from the city O
Denver, the financial, commercial
and business centre of the whole
Rocky Mountain mining regioI
where money isp!entiful and where
gigantic financial and commercial
propositions can be and are quickl,
consumated. In Denver it woul'
take but few hours to raise $50,
600 or even 100000 for an educa
tional institution or for an industria
enterprise. In small towns like Sc
linsgrove and others scattere
throughout the rural sections of an
state, commercial propositionso Of an
magnitude require more time fo

means is not always in sight.
seems the financial agent of Susque
hanna University did not get til
financial encouragement from til
people of Selinsgrove that the Pres
dent expected. We are notinforn
ed what amount was contributed b
the people of Selinsgrove nor wh'
amount was expected by the Pres
dent. 1t is natural to suppose, how
ever, that the people of Selinsgrov
who must be content TO live on
modest income, could not contribu
as freely as would the millionair
of Denver. The people of Selin
grove receive the first and the mo
benefit from this educational instit

have been no disorders in the anthra

no formal statement to the public, Pres
ident Mitchell said this evening thai
about 10000 miners were now idle
Neither side has offered to negotiate 70,

filming their efforts to getting the mer
to quit work everywhere, believing thai
they cannot successfully carry on the

les which are crippled as best they
can. The mine owners in the Hazleton
district complain bitterly of what they
call the cruel tactics of the union
They claim that the workmen who are
still going to the mines are being In
timidated and even threatened witt
serious bodily injury if they do moi
quit work. They also add that most
of the men now idle desire to resume
work, but through fear of assault they
do not leave their homes.
Mine workers have practically decided
to concentrate their full power in the
bftuminous fields as well as in the an
thracite on the big railroads which own
anthacite coal mines as a first means
to compel recognition of the union and
bring about a settlement of the big
strike. This decision means that while
the works of the individual operators
and small companies will be tied up, n,
settlement will be made with them un.
til the railroads manifest a disposition
TO treat with the union. 1t is claimed
by the union officials, and the asser-
ton is not disputed, that the railroads
own the mines from which come 40 pei
coal, and it is admitted that this per.
centage Is capable of naming the mar
ket price of the fuel and in so doing
to regulate the wages of the miners
With these facts before them, the unior
officills argue that it would be useless
to make scales with the small operators
for the reason that no matter how good
his intentions might be, any increase
he might grant would be lost to the
miners in case the general movement
was unsuccessful and the big compa-
nies should decide to lower the price
of coal and carry with it the schedule
of wages.
