YALE CRITICISED.
Head Coach Says 1t Will Take Better
Ball to Defeat Harvard.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 19.-After the
game the Princeton players, dishearten-
ed but not respondent, took special cleo
trio cars from Yale Field to the union
depot, where they dressed. They dined
en- route to New York City. AS this
was their last game of the season, they
broke training at their meal on the way
to the metropolis. None of the players
who were forced to retire was injured
seriously.
Captain Pell made the following
fed the Princeton players put up the best
game they could Yale played a better
game and won on its merits We have

Head Coach George S. Stillman of the

statement: 1T was the most discourage

He figures that the expense of keeping
the dozen or fifteen horses necessary
to cultivate this much land is a heavy
drain on farmers income. He figures
that almost any man can make money;
the trouble is to save it.
He has been investigating the sub
ject of blowing by steam. He has a
friend in the Territory who does his
work in this way and it costs him less
than 40 cents an acre to pillow his land.
Another advantage is that he can pillow
seven or eight inches deep, and such
blowing always brings good wheat if
the harrow is literally used.
Mr.. Weger's idea is to hitch about
four 16-inch or five 12-inch plows to the
engine. He contends that. a man who
understands his business can make the
turn at the end of the furrow with
such a machine as quickly as he can
with three or six horses hitched to
pillow. With a gasoline engine, one man
can do the blowing. With a coal en-.
CINE he might need an attendant.
He says the complete outfit, engine
and plows, can be bought for about
$1,000. He is investigating the subject
with a view to making such a pur-
chase.

ABILEN ELS GAS WELL.
Tt Develops Into a Salt Water
Spouter.

Abilene Nov. 19.-Abilene's gas well
has developed into an artesian salt well
with a steady and perhaps slightly in
creasing flow The vein of salt water
was struck at a depth of 1850 feet Mon
day and operations were stopped, the
water soon rising to a height of 800 feet
in the we'll Tuesday morning it was
found that the water had risen the re-
naming AGO feet and was flowing in
considerable volume from the top of
the we'll.
If the well is put deeper there will be
a necessity for more careful casing and
some of that already down will have to
be replaced with larger and stronger
pipe. The probabilities are that the salt
water supply is large. The pressure
needed to raise the water 1850 feet is
about 700 pounds to the square inch.
Two pumps at work on the well are
giving it a thorough testing. Eighty
gallons a minute have been taken from
the well and in no way affected it's sup
ply of water.
That the we'll will in time produce gas
there is not a doubt in the minds of
many of the stockholders. They do not
variety and if it is not, gas must GER
tainly be the agency that forces the
water from the WELL Besides this there
are other gas indications.
When the well first commenced to
flow the stream of water was regular,
but now bubbles of various size con-
stantly rise, giving the well the appear
ance of boiling springs, and there is
constant rafting noise which sounds

these large bubbles rise a slight flash

TO STOP PRIZE FIGHTS.
Chief Kelly Will Not Permit Boxing
Contests at St Louis.


ST. Louis, Nov 19.-There is woe in
sporting circles. Chief of Police Kelly
has given it out fiat that priZehghtS and
Louis. Therefore the fight on the pro-
gramme at the Olympic club last night
between Morris Rauch and Johnnie
Rotchford has been called off George
Dixon and Abe Attell who were to fight
at the West End club Monday night,
will not do so.
The police board held a meeting Fri
day afternoon at which it was decided
that prizefghting must stop and the
chief of police was ordered to see that
none took place.
Some time ago I told the Post-Dis-
patch that the contests that have been
given at the West End club and the
Olympic club were violations of the
law,'' said Chief Kelly. and SO there will
be none for the present, at least.
.Other violations of the law are being
tolerated. For instance, there is a law
against saloons being open on Sunday.
Public sentiment, however, has made
a sentiment that it would be difficult
to overcome. But prize fighting has be-
come too much of business in St.
Louis. At first we permitted clubs to
hold boxing contests, but now the West
End club pulls off a fight every week.
so does the Olympic. These are not clubs
in fact
There has been nothing in particular
to excite the police department to any
harsh measure in the matter. The only
thing is the prizefghting business has
become too bold and the police depart
ment will not permit it,

Killing the Result of a Months
Ago Tragedy
When Officers Had Beaten Men
With Clubs.

Junction City, Kas., Nov 19.-Assist-
ant Marshal Robert Cooper and Night
Policeman James White were both shot
here last evening about 9:45 o'clock by
a soldier from Fort Riley. Policeman
White died a few minutes after being
shot and Cooper is dying. The snootlns
took place on the main street, ana d
number of citizens and soldiers were III
plain view of the fray. The attack
was unlocked for by the policemen
Cooper was crossing the street Wheh
the soldier stepped close to him ana
with an oath fired his revolver, one
bullet striking the policeman in the
right temple, another close to the leIt
eye, and he fell to the ground Police
man White was standing near by ana
started toward Cooper when the assas-
sin turned on him, shooting him
through the neck and through the body
The soldier then ran south the
main street, waving his pistol and
shouting, Il want to die! 1 want to
diei''
He was unknown to the persons who
saw the shooting The wounded men
were carried into a drug store, and
White died in few minutes, the artery
bleeding internally. Neither OF the
men gained consciousness.
A few minutes after the shooting the
streets We're thronged and excitement
ran high. A soldier, who was standing
near Cooper when he fell, tried TO get
the marshal to his feet while the muir
derer was still firing on the wounded
man. The tragedy is the outcome of
ARRAY that took place here several
months ago, when Marshal Cooper was
arresting several soldiers and had to
use his club severely. The soldiers
whom he dubbed were laid up in the
hospital for some weeks with severe in
jurieS on their heads.
Cooper was laid off the police force
for a month and was then reinstated-
Trouble began the first night after his
reinstatement and Cooper promptly
arrested the soldiers, who were then
carrying rocks in their pockets, evil
IDENTIFY intended for him.
Since then two pay days at the post
have passed without any serious
trouble. November pay day commenced
at Fort Riley Saturday afternoon. The
murderer was intoxicated. Marshal
Cooper remarked shortly before being
shot that a number of the soldiers had
revolvers that did not belong to the
army.

SEVERAL OTHER CASES

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-The alarm
that has been caused by the nine cases
of tetanus following vaccination in
Camden, N. j., has aroused the city
officials there to take official action in
the matter. The board of health and
the board of education each held meet
ingS The former decided to request
physicians to cease vaccinating per-
sons until an investigation as to the
cause of the lockjaw cases had been
made, and the latter rescinded the order
of compulsory vaccination of all school
children OF the nine cases of tetanus
so far reported, seven of the victims
have died and the other two are still
in a dangerous condition. The board of
health appointed committee OF three
to act in conjunction with the county
physician and make a complete inves-
tigation of the whole matter DR.. II. II.
Davis, president of the board, in stating
the purpose of The call, said he did not
believe that the vaccination was the
direct cause of tetanuS, but as the city
was thoroughly aroused and the people
were looking to the board of health for
some action, he therefore believed some
thing should be done.
There have been several cases of
tetanuS following vaccination reported
in Philadelphia, but no official action
has been taken. The question of COM
pulsory vaccination of school children
and teachers has been taken to the
courts and resulted in a verdict for
vaccination. Inc case was that OF a
high school teacher who refused to be
vaccinated. She was suspended by the
school board, and she carried her case
to the court. The board was sustained
and the teacher was dismissed from the
service of the city. She took an appeal
to the superior court today.
Coroner Dugan, of this city, has
promised the AntiVaccination Society
of America to make thorough inves-
tigation of the death of Joseph Goldie,
a boy of Bristol, Pa, who died in
hospital here from tetanus, alleged to
have followed vaccine ton. The coro-
ners physician is now engaged in max
ing an autopsy.

Fort Scott, Nov. 19.-Sheriff Moore of
Garrett in Anderson county, arrived
here from the south where he pursued

perty which he collected along the
route taken by the mutineers. He re-
covered two horses, one belonging to
Farmer Higdon which was stolen Sun
day night, and the other belonging to
a farmer named Whips, living near
Garnett. DR.. Haverside recovered his
horse, and the buggy, which was left
in exchange was stolen in Lawrence

BRANNoN REINsTA1ED.
Judge Perkins, of Latonia, Pardons
the Notorious THURMAN.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. 19.-William
Brannon, who for nearly decade has
suffered ostracism from the American
turf, has been reinstated at Latonia. The
offense which made Brannon an outcast
was the supposed ringing of the noted
old horse Tanner under the name OF
Polk Badget at I-atonia, in which he
cleaned up something like $50, 600.
Brannon trained the horse on the pike
outside of Latonia, and nobody knew
anything about him until after the coup
had been made. Polk Badget opened at
40 to l and was backed down to to 5.
Jockey Keith had the mount, and tried
to make a close finish, but the horse
got his head and finished away in front
Brannon never claimed the purse
They cashed the tickets and walked
the horse to a stable in this city, and
that night he was hidden behind some
freight in a baggage car, painted to pre-
vent recognition by the officials and
shipped direct to Jersey City. The trail
grew so hot that he had scarcely reach
ed the stable there when he was taken
out and shipped to Hopkinsville, Tenn
The horse is dead; also the jockey who
rode him. Judge Perkins said he
thought Brannon had suffered punish
ment enough and gave him reinstate-
ment in the nature of q pardon.
