Il Of SEASON
How to Settle the Football Cham
pionship" Question big Nine"
Might Take Hand.
By Arranging Post-season Games the
Regular Schedules Could Be
-. Made Easier.

One OF the lessons, taught by the loot
ball season pust closed is that ere long
the big nine conference must begin to
exercise some supervision over the ar
rangement of schedules, with view to
settling the western championship in a
decisive manner each year. The standard
OF the average western eleven is steadily
rising, and every year more and more
elevens must be reckoned with in deciding
the first honors of the season. 1t is prac-
ules IN such manner as to settle the
championship question .Affectually, with
out danger OF making the program so stiff
that team will be put out by over
work, just as Chicago was two years ago.
The example Of Minnesota this season
proves 1t. also, the gophers' early defeat at
the hands Of Nebraska being due prin-
cipally to inability to get into form for
such tough contest.
The average eleven is not ready for a.
championship contest before Nov I. and
three or at the most four big games is as
tough schedule as should be arranged,
At the best there must be some wears
when post-season games are necessary.
In spite Of the cry that the champion
ship question savors of professionalism.
the TACT remains that the public wants
to see the championship decided, the
students want it settled, and the players,
and all interested in the sport, want It.
LAO 40 IAIC OppOI Iulllly OF the dig nine
to assume the part of referee and ar
range post-season games where necessary
to settle the title. In the last ten years.
including the present season, there have
been only six years when the champion
ship has been decided by the regularly
scheduled games, and only five where the
title has been definitely and finally settled
at all. =r%
In 1894 Michigan and Wisconsin were
both undefeated. and neither had a. claim
to superiority over the other. In 1895.
Michigan, as the only eleven undefeate
by western team, was clearly champion.
IN 1895 there was a general mixup, Chi
cago defeating Michigan, Wisconsin de-
feating Chicago, Northwestern tying Wis
consin. and both Michigan and Wisconsin
defeating Minnesota by close scores. In
1897 Wisconsin mad a clear title and in
1888 M ohigan stood first by virtue of her
defeat of Chicago, Stages: men having
beaten Wisconsin and Northwestern, and
Wisconsin defeating Minnesota. In 1899
Chicago got the title by a post-sea son
game with Wisconsin, In 1906 Minnesota
was generally awarded the palm, but Iowa,
also. was undefeated, and the CHAMPION
ship was decided ION comparative scores
an unsatisfactory method at best
Last year Wisconsin and Michigan won
all their games, and this.ye the title was
settled by the Minnesota MICHIGAN game
at Ann Arbor Thursday. -

BARNES PASSED FOR BRYAN.

Col. Bill Barnes, of the Barnes Brokerage Co.,, formerly of Newport, bears striking resemblance to w. J Bryan. Col. Barnes went to Dexter last Friday morning, on the Cat pas senger, the same day MT. Bryan was to speak in that city. A large crowd was at the depot to meet MT. Bryan together with brass band, a drum corps and glee club. They had for gotten that MT. Bryan would arrive on special train and supposed he would be on the regular passenger, so when the train pulled in all eyes were waiting for glimpse of the noted free silver leader and when Mir Barnes hove in sight shout went up which would have done credit to a lot of Comanche Indians The band played, the glee club sang, the drum corps drummed, and Col. Bill was al most carried through the crowd to- ward the carriage, when he explained to the leaders who he was, and then all was different. They dropped the Colonel like hot potato and quiet soon reigned; but it made Col. Bill feel awfully good for few moments and he is still wearing one of those smiles of satisfaction so peculiar tc the Arkansas colonel.-Poplar Bluff Republican.

SURVEY FROM JACKSONPORT

Mammoth Spring, September 29.- The Rock Island surveying corps, under Engineer s. M. Ramsdell, broke camp here Thursday, and have re- moved to Georgetown campground eight miles north. The run from Cave City to Evening Shade, with the ex- ception of point or two about Horns Creek, is very satisfactory. The To- cated survey skirts the eastern mar gin of Evening Shade for a mile, and the easy grade found over and be- tween the Piney Fork of Strawberry river and the main stream was a sur prise to the engineers. The corps is now encamped on Lave Creek, and the intention seems to be to pass from there to the waters of Big Greek at Ash Flat, and thence up that stream in the direction of Agnos and Salem.
 An evidence of the careful and thorough work done by this corps of engineers is found in the fact that they reach Evening Shade from Jack sonport in about thirty five miles, whereas, by the public highway it is forty five between the same points

RECITA L FAVORABLY RECEIVED

The recital of Miss Beaulah Casey and MT. James M. Porter at the opera house Friday evening was listened to by fair house, who were we'll pleased with the merit and excellence of the entertainment.
 Miss Casey has been entitled the ''sweet singer of the Ozarks," and we'll does she deserve it, but we predict that those mountains will prove but foothills to the heights that her wonderful voice will sing her reputa- tion. Sweet, mellow and clear, her voice enraptured the audience. The ease and surety with which she reaches any note compelled applause.
 Mr. Porter is a pianist of fine tech nique, whose classical renditions were excellent. The two should come again, for being known, they will be better received.

COTTON BURNED AT TUPELO.

On Sunday afternoon fire at Tu- pelo destroyed the cotton platform near the depot and about 80 bales of cotton, owned by Lon Campbell chiefly. The fire is supposed to have been caused by some one's careless ness in smoking cigarettes about the property.
 The fire had reached such headway when discovered that the platform could not be saved, though about 50 bales of cotton were placed out of reach of the flames.
 B. M. Crow, of this city, owned 25 bales of that stored on the platform, but it is thought that none of this was burned. The railroad company will probably be responsible for the losses, as the cotton, it is thought, had been sold, but not delivered.

NEGROES SHOT AT WELDON.

Constable M. F. Harding of Breck inridge township came up Saturday morning from Weldon with Walter Horton, a negro, in custody, who shot and killed Ed Clark and badly crippled his brother Will Clark Friday night at Weldon,
 The three were at the colored Odd Fellows hall, when Horton is said to have been hit by Will Gregory, but the former thought it was one of the Clarks. He went home after his shot gun and on his return met the two Clarks coming out of town. He dis mounted and shot Ed Clark in the chest, from which he died almost in stantly and then shot Will Clark in both legs.
 Going to the hall, Horton told the negroes he had already killed two and said he would have another. AS he pointed his gun, someone knocked it out of his hand just as it was dis charged. Wes Gregory, another ne- gro grabbed him and he was kept tied all night. Horton bears a bad repu- tation, while Ed Clark is said to have been quiet and industrious negro. The shooting occurred about eleven o'clock

RE- COMMENCE THE WORK.

At meeting of the business men
 Friday evening at the Newport Club rooms, new plans were submitted and adopted for celebrating the acquisi tion of a new depot at the Iron Noun tain station and the old subscription
 list destroyed.
 A banquet will be given to which the
 railroad officials will be invited, that their interest may be aroused and their good will secured in the upbuild- ing and growth of Newport, Accord ing to the announcement of George Gould, the White River extension will become part of through Kansas City Memphis line, and the gap be-
 tween Wynne and Diaz will probably forward to this time the business men
 of this city are desirous of winning the
 good opinion of the high officials, that the Wynne connection may be eX- tended from Newport instead of Diaz Gus Martin and c. A. Hillhouse were appointed a committee to solicit sub-
 scriptions and report at the next meet ing, to be held Tuesday evening at the
 city hall, to which all citizens, espec- ially the business men, are invited.
 About $500 is needed and the pro-
 moters of the movement desire thirty
 men to pledge S10 each, but subscrip-
 tions are to be taken from the citizens
 in general and this fund prorated to
 the thirty contributing the $500. The
 plates at the banquet will probably be $2 each, and this will be in addition to
 any subscription made.

At the meeting of the city council Monday evening, another step was taken toward paving the way for the construction of sewerage system in this city. But the city fathers have divided upon the issue. Bailey, Will mans and Walker voted for the cleo tion of commissioners to carry out this work, while Wishon and Mayor Grubbs have by their attitute placed themselves in the ranks of the op- ponents of this improvement
 Upon motion of A. D. Bailey, the names of T. J. Watson, Isaac Gold man and Charles c. Henry were of fered for nomination as commission CTS of the new improvement district. The three aldermen named voted yes while Wishon voted no.
 Prior to the consideration of this motion, Attorney J. M. Bell read a petition signed by number of prop erty owners, who had also signed the petition for an improvement district, asking that their names be removed from the latter petition.
 Though city attorney Gustave Jones held that these names could not be legally removed; to further safeguard the making of an improvement dis trict, supplementary petition was offered and filed, containing addition al names of property owners, praying that an improvement district be made for the purpose of constructing and operating sewerage system. Letters were read from Arthur K. Lanyon, of the Newport Water Com pany, naming rates to be charged in the event that this city constructs a sewerage system. In MT. Lanyon's | opinion, there should be three flush tanks each of 200 gallons capacity to every mile of sewer main and if the city will make some arrangement with the water company for the prompt payment of future hydrant rents, he promises that the company will make 1 no chafge TOT the water furnished Tn the flushing of the sewers.
 An estimate of the probable cost of the construction of a system of sew craze, made by Stephen A. Mitchell, a civil engineer of Kansas City, Mis- souri, Dec. g, 1899, when this question was once before under consideration, was read The estimate of the total cost of sewerage system made by him was $26, ,046.10.
 Mayor J. w. Grubbs served notice upon the Recorder, that he wished his name withdrawn from the petition for improvement district.
 The minutes of Sept 18th were read and approved and the accounts ap proved by the finance committee were allowed.

HAD NOT RETURNED TO LIFE.

A rumor was current at Tampa, that
the nine-months-old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Keldle which had died the
day before, had come to life just be-
fore the interment was to have been
made. Mr.. and Mrs. Keldie had been
visiting relatives at Fitzgerald, when
their infant died. The father went
to Tampa and procured a coffin, in or
der that the body could be taken to
Tampa for interment. Mr.. Keldie re-
turned to Fitzgerald, but the coffin was
not put off at that place. The parents
then returned to Tampa, with the
body. A telephone message was sent
to an undertaking establishment for
another casket, but by the time this
was being sent to the residence the
parents thought they saw signs of life
in their child. They Immediately sent
for doctor, and Cancelled the order
for the casket. The doctor hurriedly
went to the house, made an examina-
ton, and found that the child had APP
parently been dead twenty-four hours.
