AN ORGAN FOR DEMOCRACY.
The Oskaloosa Times Will Lead the
Unterrified of Jefferson County.

Oska1oosa, Nov. 11.-F'or several years
the Democratic party of Jefferson coun-
ty has been DESTROYS of securing a pa
per at the county seat but for one rea-
son or another has been unable to do
so until this fall, when the Times was
changed from an Independent Republic
can to a straight Democratic paper.
This change, however, was not entire
ly satisfactory to all of the workers in
the county and did not meet with the
success which it was expected would
result from such a change. In conse-
quence of which a number of the old
time political warehouses have induced
Mr. J. E Gardiner of Winchester, to
purchase the OskalooSa Times and DE
has taken charge.
The star of the new management is
in the ascendancy as the editor has the
confidence, cooperation and support Of
practically every Democrat in Jefferson
county as well as that of all of the
business houses of Oskaloosa-
The paper has the assurance of being
recognized as the official organ of JET
ferson county Democrats and if the
party is successful in electing another
Democratic member of the board of
county commissioners, it will be made
the official paper of Jefferson county.

THE CONvICTS' SIDE.
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon Says
1t Should Be Considered.

The convicts' side of the case was pre-
scented last night by Charles NJ. Sheldon
in his informal talk on current events
to the congregation at the Central
church. MIR. Sheldon said in part:
It received a letter yesterday from a
convict who has just finished 20 year
term in the penitentiary of another
state. He was sentenced to twelve years
for stealing $22, and later when he tried
to escape and was recaptured, was given
II years more. He managed to secure
his release at the end of 20 years, II
years of which time were spent in soli-
tary confinement. This convict does
not attempt to excuse his crime, but he
simply points out some of the things
in prison management which need re-
forming. He tells of the systems of
punishment used.
I'm the case of the convicts who re-
Gently escaped from the federal prison,
would it not be fair to consider what
ceiving during their Incarceration? I
treated, but say that the convict's side
o2 the case ought to be taken into con-
sideration.
Prisons ought to be taken out from
political influence. They should be in
charge of Christian men. We send
Christian missionaries to teach the ig-
norant in various parts of the earth.
How much more important it is to send
Christian missionaries to take care of
these very worst criminals and bad men
in our prisons

MARRIAGE BY PHONE.
A Romantic Affair Spoiled by Doubts
of Its Legality.

Wichita, Nov. ia romantic mar
riage by long distance telephone was
scheduled for Saturday night, but a
question of the legality of the same pre-
vented the ceremony from being con-
summated.
The contracting parties were to have
been W. H. Sternberg, of Wichita. and
Mrs Mary E. Lock, of Chicago. The
latter was formerly a resident of this
city but more recently of Newton, Kan,
where her daughter was chosen queen
of the carnival some three years ago.
Sternberg is about go years old and a
well known contractor He has one son,
who is assistant business manager of
the Eagle. The old gentleman is great
ly averse to any notoriety, but said
that he would gladly consent to humor
his wife-to-be, if he had any assurance
that a marriage by phone would be in
conformity with the law. It was only

Nebraska 81. Missouri O.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. lin one of the
most spectacular games ever seen in
Omaha, Missouri university was defeat
ed the gridiron Saturday afternoon
by Nebraska by the decisive score of
81 to 0. The Tigers were clearly out
classed in every branch of the game ex-
cept kicking, in which Kirk, the plucky
quarterback, did splendid work until he
was removed in the second half on ac-
count of injuries. Nebraska depended
largely on line work and end runs dur
ing the first half, but in the second,
punting was done repeatedly. The tt
gers were thrown largely on the defen-
sive, and. on account of this, the
strength of an inexperienced line was
tested repeatedly. The men lacked the
staying qualities found in a veteran
line, such as the COrnhuSkerS presented.
Captain Washer won the toss and chose
the east goal. Nebraska kicked off
Missouri was held for downs and Ne
braska forced the ball over the line by
end runs and bucking the center four
minutes and fifteen seconds after play
started. Three more touchdowns were
made during the half, one by Drain after
a 55-yard run on a double pass In the
second half Nebraska made four touch
downs and Drain kicked one goal from
the field, making 90 points for the half
One of the touchdowns was also made
by Drain after a sensational run of IS
yards. He carried the ball entirely to
the goal, returning a punt by Kirk.
