PENN ATHLETICS.
The Foot Ball ScheduIe-Prospectsf for
COach--The Track Team.

Manager Harry Hagan of the Penn
College Foot Ball association, has
been at work for some time arrang-
ing dates and games. He states that
games have already been arranged
Drake, Cornell, Still College, Ames
and Simpson. A game with Grinnell
is in prospect but not definitely ar
ranged for. There are number of
other games in prospect for the sea-
son.
The coach for the team has not yet
been secured. Parker, the former
coach under whom Penn was 80 sue
cessful during the season Of '99, is
one of the possibilities, and there is
chance of securing Jerry Boyden,
of Wisconsin or either Eby or Edison,
formerly of the Iowa University team.
Leslie White, captain of the track
team will have some good men to
take into the contests at the state
field meet that will be held in Des
Moines. The young man has put up
for consideration propositions for
dual meets with Drake, Monmouth
and Simpson Colleges.

Died of Injuries.

John Young, aged 81 years, died at
his home at No. mine of the Con-
solidation Coal Co. Friday of injuries
received in an accident on the after
noon of Feb. 6.
Young run an engine that manipu-
lates what is known as the tail rope"
The engine stopped on center and
Young climbed onto the fly wheel to
pull the engine over. He had ad-
mitted little too much steam into
the cylinder and the engine went off
with unexpected force. Young was
thrown from the wheel and against
the roof that was but short distance
above the wheel with the result that
he was severely hurt internally and
to the extent that he could not re-
cover.
The deceased leaves a wife and five
children. The funeral will occur
from Penn college chapel Sunday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

Total.

This makes % votes necessary to
choice.
The complexion of the political
countenance of the republican side
of the house remains about the same
as it did week ago. There are
few more possibilities for the posi-
ton of alderman. Two of the new
corners in the ring this week are W.
w. Montgomery and s. B. Sinclair,
of the Second ward There are other
possibilities but the names of the
starters are not yet announced.
In the First ward the name of John
White, the efficient engineer on the
Iowa Central, is being discussed for
member of the council, along with
the names of Col. Willis,l the aue-
tioneer, and B. Wetsman, the North
G street merchant. e Each has his
host of friends who present very
good reasons for the nomination of
their particular favorite. All three
are good men and either will make
splendid representative. and an hon
ored member.
The Titus amendment decision
turned the discussion of politics to
state and county officers to a certain
extent during the last tweek. The
determination of Governor Shaw not
to allow his name to be-used for the
Office again, and declining to accept
the nomination if rendered him, has
upset" matters considerably, for
the general feeling was that Gov.
Shaw was entitled tol third term
for the excellent administration he
has given Iowa. Judge Dewey has
been discussed for supreme Judge
and it is felt that the upholding of his
amendment decision by the supreme
court has placed him right in line for
the place, and we'll up to the 'front.'
row, if not the leader. For chairman
of the state committee there has
been no name mentioned except that
of our Wesley Clayton, for he is just
the man for the place, fitted in every
way and deserving. Wesley will be
again named for place on the COM
mittee from this district, and will
have the backing of many strong
men throughout Iowa for the place
of chairman.
In the Des Moines Register, in a
column devoted to a discussion of
gubernatorial candidates, an admirer
of Hon. A. B. Cummins, and one who
wants to see him nominated, is quo
ted as saying: "They can't beat A.
B. He starts out with the Seventh
and Sixth districts solid, which gives
him about 300 votes as a nest egg."
Republicans hereabouts would like
to know by what authority the gen.
tleman speaks for the Sixth district,
for he is surely stranger to Sixth
district politics to make such an as
sertion. 1t is more wildstban his
statement that the Sixth and Seventh
districts have 300 votes in the con-
vention, when the truth is that the
vote of the two in the past several
conventions has been 212-106 each.
Such wild and bombastic statements
thus early are to be deplored.

Cincinnati, Feb. 16.-Thirty passen-
natl from Dayton, KY, were carried
down a 50-foot embankment into the
bed of small stream on the Ken
lucky side of the river, between nine
and ten o'clock Friday morning, and
only one of the number escaped in
the number was instantly killed. How
many may die cannot yet be told.
The accident took place at a point
on the street where the car was COM

the car. 1t turned to the right.
crossed the sidewalk with such mo-
mentum as to tear down a fence, cut
off the top of small tree and drop
so feet down into the bed of the lit

AS before stated, no one was killed
outright, but the brave motorman,
Samuel Yates, who had stayed at his
post in vain effort to check the
speed of the car, was fearfully in
jured about the head and was taken
to Spears hospital, where his in
juries were said to be fatal.
Among the others seriously injured
are w. II. Mccormick, of Bellevue;
Miss Edna Contains, of Bellevue, may

ously injured; A. II. Wagner, of
Bellevue, severely; Miss Ella Huxell,

OHIO BARRED TO FIGHTS.
tic Encounters Shall Not BE
Held Anywhere I'm State,

Columbus, o., Feb. 16.-Gov. Nash i.
not satisfied with having prevented the
battle of heavy-weights which was to
have taken place in Cincinnati. He is
determined that there shall be nc
more prize fights in Ohio. Within a
few days he will advise the sheriff
of every county and the mayor of every
city and town that the laws of the
state forbid prize fighting within her
limits, and that they must be obeyed
He has won his point in the great emer.
gency, and he will be consistent.
The laws governing prize fighting in
Ohio are somewhat difficult of inter.
probation. The distinction between a
prize fight and sparring exhibition
is not very clearly drawn. Gov. Nash,
however, has shown that he under
stands the difference between the two
sorts of contest. and not only that he
can interpret the laws, but that he
will enforce them. Boxing matches in
Ohio during the remainder of the
present administration will be con-
fined to sparring contests between
bOhd lNC Vi DOlld atm
letic clubs. The governor will use all
the power of the state, if need be, to
prevent the other kind, and boxing
gloves of five ounces in weight or less
will be drug on the market.
1t has long been the practice OF
pugilists of more or less note to come
from all parts of the country to fight
in one of the cities of Ohio. Until Gov
Nash looked into the statutes few
weeks ago nobody seemed to have any
doubt that the mayors consent was
all that was necessary to legalize a
Knockout fight. The governor thinks
differently, and he has shown that he
will not hesitate to act.
Had the troops been sent to Cincin.
natl there would have been an exhibit
ton of quick mobilization never be-
fore equaled in Ohio. Arrangements
had been perfected for sending -four
regiments and a battery to Cincinnati
The plans had been well laid and there
would have been no confusion and nc
delay. Gov. Nash himself would have
gone to Cincinnati, and, acting as the
civil authority the statutes tell about
would have commanded himself to cal
out the troops. The order would have
been obeyed with great promptness.
Cincinnati, Feb. 16.-The proposed
fight here between Jeffries and Rubin
that was enjoined and afterward post
poned Thursday, was Friday declared
off and no other time or place suggest
ed for it. Managers Brady and Nader
at noon received from the Atlas ma
tional bank $4,000 of forfeit money
on deposit there. AS each had put W
$4,000, they got that part back a.
even money, but of the $4,000 that the
Saengerfest Athletic association put
up Brady got $3,75O and Madden only

letic association, hopes to secure the
Jeffries-Ruhlin fight for this city. H,
has telegraphed Manager Brady al

in good farming like manner with
everything neat and clean and stock

MORE SHADOWS on WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 8.-Several times in
the last three years there have been var
ious singular shadows that have appeared
from time to time on the north or main
porch of the White House. One of these
shadows represented the profile and bent
form of an old woman, with one hand
resting on an indlstinct object that re-
sembled spinning wheel. This shadow,
cast by the suns rays shining through
the railing, which is part of the colon
ial structure at the top of the mansion,
appeared daily at certain hour for two
or three weeks; and as it was about that
time that President McKinley's mother
died, the phenomenon made deep i'm
preston on many superstitious persons.
Last Fall another shadow appeared,
and it required no effort of the imagina-
ton to recognize it as a human forearm
and hand, with bent forefnger upheld in
the attitude of warning or reproach. su-
perstitious folks who saw it every day for
a fortnight or so again had chill, while
others remarked facetiously that the in
cident ought to be comfort to the anti
imperialists who have so long been pre-
dieting calamity. If the public has re-
garded these publications as being of a
mythical order or mere "shadow" stories,
the af1davits of all the messengers and
guards at the White House can be brought
forward to substantiate them.
The latest manifestation of freakish-
ness on the White House portico ap-
peared yesterday. The sun was shining
brightly, and at 1880 o'clock shadow
of nondescript form appeared on the
great pillar at the extreme northwest cor
ner of the portico. 1t soon took on
defnate shape, and at 1 o'clock repre-
sented the face and shoulders of President
Mckinley in profile. The silhouette was
so striking in its accuracy that many per
sons who saw it remarked that more
correct profile drawing of Mr.. Mckinley
could not be made by any artist. The
likeness was not a correct one for more
than two minutes. 1t gradually changed
with the altering position of the sun and
at l. 10 o'clock had assumed remarkably
perfect likeness to the face of the late
Queen Victoria, even to an object on the
head resembling crown. This likeness
lasted for two or three minutes and then
gradually disappeared on the northeast
pillar, at the opposite side of the portico
forty feet away.
