afternoon between the Valdez aud
Fayette teams was witnessed by .
large crowd, and proved splendid

very evenly matched, and it was nip
and tuck between the. two. Fayette
slso securing touchdown and kick
ing goal in the first half. The second
half was . hard fought struggle for
supremacy between the two, being
played alternately on the territory Of
each team, neither being able to score
during the half, and the game ended
with the score tie, to 8. The Val
der team was much the heavier In

homely mirth and quaint mid-winter
festivity punctuated by episode of in

Michael McCabe Not Murdered.

Investigations as to the death OF
Michael McCabe, who was killed on
the railroad track at North McGregor,
last week Monday night, discloses that
his death was purely accidental, and
exonerates the railroad company for
blame in the matter. He was on his
way home from Chicago, where hehad
been with stock, and was left by the
train at McGregor, where it stops only
q few minutes. He was about the hotel
at North McGregor that evening. and
in the evening started to walk up the
track toward Giard, and was returning,
walking on the track, when the engi-
neer Of the hill engine, east bound, saw
him and gave warning, but was unable
to stop the engine before striking him.
He was picked up and taken to North
McGregor, where he expired in few
moments. His neck was broken and
left leg badly. cut. His remains were
taken to his home, and buried on
Thursday, being followed to the grave
by large number Of friends. He was
an honest, industrious, well-to-do citi-
zen, and the family have the sincere
sympathy of all their acquaintance.

the Norwegian Colleges, ought by
right to have at least fifty American
students every year. In her rooms
there is room for four times a. many
as there now are. And above all there
should be at least one professor who
could master the English language, not
speak 1t, not read it, but talk it 365 days
in the year, not out of the text book or
grammar, but on topics our times most
demand and for our future welfare.
We have grown strong In many
parts, we are well established and well
represented. But far be it from us to
say or think we are strong enough.
Let US not deceive ourselves. Let not
the isolation by adhereing too much
to our mother language, our national
ity, our customs, be bar to our pro-
gress and against our American brother.
In all affairs political or religious let us
learn to understand the value of the
Language predominating in this coun-
try, to value 1t In defense when per-
sued, to respect it in our public meet
ings and assemblies in peace and pros
perity, and then to hold fast to what
good there is in our natio. .ality and in
our mother language and indis isiduality;
not as a distinct people, but as Ameri-
cans. so that all can understand and
value our demonstrations in this coun-
try and endorse them to further gen.
erations. Isolation often means de-
struction. Ifthere only could step up
some one, either In the front or at the
rear and translate us!
In all progress what is deemed good
now, why not promulgate 1t to the flu
ture and to our surroundings that 1t
may survive? Is it not time to take
the light from under the half. busb'el?

LEARN THE LANGUAGE PERFECTLY
An Address to Fellow countrymen By
One Of Our Readers.

The Skandinavians and the want of
speaking the English language In this

mastering it when we most need it to
express ourselves, is a condition We
seldom find. We can read it probably

it lies; but when the book or paper is

expert in talking or speaking one lam

two languages at one and the same
time. Not discarding our (the Skandi-
navian) language as an inferior. No!

Too Bad.

The Romeos and Juliets OF
Scranton. Pa, will not see each
other so often hereafter. A
unique law preventing courtship
in public parks and on the streets
is being enforced to their sorrow
and Indignation. Big trees are
numerous in one of the resident
parts of town and this is favorite
place for billing and cooling.
Three young couple not long ago
were whispering sweet nothlngs
and making goo-goo eyes at each
other by the pale light of the
moon when a policeman swooped
down upon them, capturing the
entire party with the exception
of one young man who was un-
gallant enough to escape and leave
his dulcinea to be taken care of
by the officers. AS those captur-
ed were each fined 50, nocturnal
courtship in public places is very
apt to fall in disrepute. Between
the paternal boot and the watch
full eye of the policeman, Romeo
will have an ambuscaded road to
travel. The law will interfere
seriously with those fathers who
have several manageable daugh-
ters on hand and are anxious to
afford every facility for elope-
ments in order to save wedding
expenses.

A Worthy Successor,
s'Something New Under The
Sun"

All Doctors have tired to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders, in
halers, acid gases and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the mu-
cous membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membranes that their
makers have aimed to cure, while pastes
and ointments cannot reach the disease
An old and experienced practitioner who
has for many years made a close study
and speciality of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected a
treatment which, when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanent
ly cures CATARRH, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all inflammation. 1t is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This Won
derful remedy is known as "SNUFFLES,
the GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE"
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for full months treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE ever made and is
positive cure for that annoying and dis
gushing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
ton quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to remove Hay Fever
or Cold in the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads
to Consumption-"SN will
save you if you use it at once. 1T Is no
ordinary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed
to cure CATARRH in any form or
stage if used according to the direc-
tions which accompany each package.
Don't delay but send for it at once,
and write full particulars as to your
condition, and you will receive special
advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your case
