THE HISTORY
OF POLO GAME

The polo season will open on Saturday
next with the first game of the sea-
son. This is the second year o. the
game in Honolulu and the sport bids
fair to be permanently popular if the
crowds that attended last seasons
games may be accepted as any Cri-
teriOn.
The game of polo originated in India
where it was taken up by the English
officers in lieu of their national game
of cricket, being better suited to the
climate. The native officers, many of
whom had played the game before the
army adopted it, took part in the tour
nament and often on their sturdy hill
ponies defeated and still defeat the
more fully equipped Britishers. The
game. NIiCh was not geneIduy reCOS-
nized until after the Indian mutiny, was
known among the Manipurias "Kaugai'
but the Thibet form Of name polo" was
adopted. Clubs We're started at Cal
cutta, Peshawur and Cawnpore about
1868 and after becoming popular in Eng
land, the headquarters being establish
ed now at Nottingham near London,
came into America i'm 1876 under the
auspices of James Gordon Bennett.
The first international match between
England and America was played in
1856 when the Americans We're defeated
after a plucky struggle. In 1887 the
famous Rockaway team of which Fox
hall Keene now considered after fifteen
years Of play, the best exponent of the
game in America; was organized and
after continuously struggles became an
sOlute owners of he SchenCk cup. The
last international game was won this
year by the Englishmen after the
Americans had won a sweeping victory
i'm the first game.
Originally the mallet Interference still

by Americans but was eventually drop
ped not being considered a matter of
skill. In 1879 the limit of ponies was
raised from thirteen hands to fourteen.
At present the regulation limit is four
teen and a half or fourteen hands two
inches, fifty eight inches i'm all. For
merly one horse lasted the whole game
and periods were longer, consisting of
twenty minutes in a "fOurs" game with
ten minute intervals. The other rules
were practically the same as now used
by the American Polo Association.

FOUND GIANT BEAR.

BERKELEY, Aug. 12.-What is con-
sidered one of the most important ac-
questions to the geological laboratory
of the University of California was re-
ceived today in the shape of the skull
and rnust of the skeleton of NAM
moth cave bear, recently unearthed by
Eustace Furlong, a student geologist
in one of the caves of the McCloud
River. The only other specimen of this
arctotherium, or cave bear found on
this continent is a portion of a skull,
unearthed in the same district by j. a.
Richardson in the year 1879, which has
since stood as a notable example in all
books on palaeOntOlOgy.

THE VULGAR VOICE.
What a Writer in Harper's Weekly
Thinks.

What a Writer in Harper's Weekly
Thinks.
What constitutes the vulgar voice? In
an article, the reading of which may be
recommended to the legion of teachers
of voice production and their pupils, a
writer in the London Spectator con-
cludes that this evidence of vulgarity
Springs, like almost all vulgarity, how
ever displayed, chiefly from two causes
an undue love of cOnspicuousness and
an undue fear of the same" The per-
son whose chief aim is to keep him or
her self in the eye of the world rarely
makes a remark without desiring that
it shall reach the ears of others besides
the one directly addressed; and here the
peculiarly false sound of the voice is at
tributed to the absence of singleness of
motive.
On the other hand, the wavering tone
and affected accent of the timid vulgar
are ascribed to another form of insin-
certify namely, the wish to initiate
others with whom one happens to be,
when they are of a supposedly higher
social standing The attempt Is sure to
fail, and result only in the suppression
Of all e'idence Of the speakers own per-
sOnality-in the voice as well as in the
manner. Thus sincerity paramount in
all art Is basic in breeding as well,
which is the art of life.
So far, SO good, if the world is to be
considered and characterized as divided
into two classes-the vulgar and the
not vulgar But for our part. we feel
tempted to ask further whether most of
us no not at times fall into the use of
the vulgar voice. Listen 10 sweet WO-

to listen to music, the reason is prob
ably to seek i'm the fact that they have

anger or petulanCe which unrepTessed
would have issued i'm shrilness. when

himself responsible for

CARVER GETS PERMIT.
judge Richard Decides the Famous
Case From Jewell,


= Case From Jewell.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. Dec. S.-Judge Richard
granted a permit to r. f. Carver, of
Jewell, yesterday. This case, which at
tracted SO much attention especially
among prohibitionists and druggists, is
now closed and Jewell will hereafter
as before have two permits.
Altho the permit was granted 1t
was not given for the usual length of
time. They are usually given for a
period of from three to five years.
Mr.. Carver's is limited to September
2S, 1908. The purpose of this is that
both Jewell permits may expire at the
same time. The manifest intent of
this is that Jewell people may at that
time say whether the druggists shall
have any permit at all.
"A trust is imposed in holder of 4
permit as the administrator of law"
says Judge Richard in the opinion
given. "The requirements of the law
are rigid, the intent of the law plain
and it's violation hedged about by
drastic penalties. The existence of one
other permit in Jewell is no reason for
a refusal of this one. The trade of
the Jewell drug stores is abou,: equally
divided between them both, conse-
quently the best interests of the people
are subserved by two permits. l find
the general character of the applicant
to be good"
The costs of the case are taxed to Mr..
Carver.

WHERE is THE DRivER7
Buggy, Whisky and Drowned Horse
Found, but No Trace of the Man.

Toutlo, OUT NO trace OF TIC "o"'
Sioux City, Dec "a buggy with the
tongue driven deeply into the. mud,
set of broken harness strewn along the
creek bottom, one horse drowned at
point about 200 feet below where the
buggy was found, the other horse miss
ing, may tell the tale of tragedy.
Somewhere along Perry creek the po-
lice. who are dragging the water holes
rear Eleventh street believe they VIII
find the body of the unfortunate driver.
The rig was found early yesterday
forenoon at Eleventh street and Perry
creek. where it had evidently been
driven over the bank. A half gallon jug
of whisky was in the vehicle. The bug
gy pole and the front wheel were in the
creek, the pole being driven deeply into
the mud. In the buggy couple OF
blankets and cushion and whip were
found. No trace of the team or driver
was discovered by officer Harvey, who
looked over the ground.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
police We're notified that one of the
horses had been found about 200 feet
south of the buggy. Louis Agnes and
others in trying to get the animal out of
1t finally got it's head under water and
before the men could remove the ami
NAL it drowned
Detectives Follis and Westfield and
Officer John Davenport went out and
upon searching the creek bed found two
sets of harness broken into bits. Evil
dence of fierce struggle on the part OF
the horses was evident everywhere, but
no footprints indicating man or wom-
an was near the scene of the accident
were discovered.
No report of the runaway had been
made at the station prior to the discov-
cry of the buggy yesterday morning.
The other horse can not be found and 1t
is possible the driver may have taken
it and rode home. Inasmuch as there
have been found two complete sets OIL
harness, broken in bits. the police ar
que that the driver is likely hurt and
perhaps dead.
A search of the brush and the creek
is being made. Up to the present time
neither the missing horse nor the
driver has been found.

But the supreme court of Iowa, in
the case of Swanson VS.. the City of OF
tumwa, by it's decision filed on Oct. %,
1902, since the hearing of this cause in
this court, sustains in full the conten-
ton of the appellant in this cause;
holding that the proposed issue of
bonds by said city to the amount of
100000 will not for the reason urged
by appellant, and fully stated above,
create any Indebtedness against the
city OF Ottumwa.
1--WE have carefully examined the
opinion in Swanson VS.. the City of OF
tumwa, and the cases which are sup
posed to give support to its conclusions.
1t will not be profitable to review in
detail the reasoning employed to reach
the result arrived at. To our minds it
is not persuasive and we refuse to be
guided by it. It's citations exhibit the
unceasing attempts in that state and
some others to nullify and evade whole
some constitutional limitations upon
the power of municipalities to create
indebtedness and thus place intolerable
burdens on the taxpayers, and its rea-
soning but adopts the ingenious but
obviously untenable arguments by
which such attempts have been sup
ported"

drainage for his clay bed and yards.
The M. & ST. L.. railway people are
also doing the grading for a siding
which they will put in for Mr.. Wilson's
convenience Laying the tile drain
thru the clay bed affords Mr.. Wilson
good chance to observe the extent and
quality of the material intended for
manufacturing purposes, and the result
is highly gratifying; he considers the
quality all that could be desired and
the depth of the bed greater than he
had supposed. Everything SO far seems
favorable to Mr.. Wilson In his under
taking and a fine manufacturing plant
now seems assured. John Bowers.

corn raisers of Clay county. He is
now cribbing this years crop, about
three fourths of which is sound corn.
He puts partitions in his wagon boxes
and sorts his corn as it is husked,
keeping out the soft part for immediate
use. The other and larger part he
puts in cribs and feels sure it will keep
all right.
