The New, Iberia Rice Mill is
this year making extensive inn
provements in the plant. On
Thursday a new 1000 ID. mill
stone was beinl, hoisted to the
second koor. aud when within a
few inches of the upper floor the
rope gave away ard the stone
came down, crushing. through the
lower floor to the ground. Fortu-
nately the stone was not broken.
This was due to it's falling on it's
edge. New arrangements were
at once started to lift the big
stone to it's elevated position.

The New Iberia Base Bah Club
has played It's last game and has
gone INTO It's winter rest. 1t has
been a creditable organization and
has been very evenly successful
in its contests with other clubs for
supremacy. 1t has demonstrated
the fact that the IRerian is a lover
of the game and will give a good
performance a large audience.
Mr. julius Scharff, as its Mana
GEL, has done we'll and is to be high
vi commanded for his successes. He
has successfully tried to give this
people some good games, and, af-
ter conquering club after club he
dared to cross bats with the Cotton
League Club of Baton Bouge.
This was the first defeat of our
boys ....
We shall look forward with in
terest to their reorganization next
year, trusting that they will be
in better shape and stronger than
ever before.

Iowa's Family Differences.
Iowas family differences are as much
personal as anything else Governor Cum
Minis trumphed in his fight for Governor
over the old and solid combination that
has ruled Iowa for years. He was young
and ambitious and owed the older Re-
publicans nothing. Besides. he saw and
realized the trend Of public thought on the
tariff and the trusts and put himself in
touch with it, a short time later he put
himself at the head of 1t. and in the last
two State conventions he and his friends
have shaped the platform utterances on
the tariff and the incidental issue Of the
trusts. The young Governors views have
predominated over those Of the wise cin
men who believe that II is not good to
tinker with the tariff any earlier than alb
solutely necessary. The differences are
not to this time serious enough to dis
place the usual Republican majority in
the State, but there Is undoubtedly much
jealousy and dislike of the present Gov
ernor, who is ruling things with a strong
hand.
Up in Wisconsin is the bitterest of all
fights. Governor LaFollette is personally
de'estable TO the old regular. or stalwart.
Republicans Of Wisconsin. He is not maxi
ing the feeling they have for him any bet
ter by declaring that he can not and will
not give his assent to the return of Sena-
tor Spooner to the United States Senate
until the latter espouses and supports the
State platform. This platform contains
many .isms'' that Senator Spooner, Sena-
tor Quarles and the Wisconsin stalwarts
Deiieve to he rujnous to he future OF the
Republican party in the State if they be-
come firmly Undecided, and, therefore, the
StalwartS refuse to come out openly for
the platform. merely giving their support
10 Governor LaFoilette. Senator Spooner
contends that it is his prerogative as
Senator to discuss national issues and
he is doing that Besides his hostility
IS beratirg members of previous Lcgisla-
lures which declined to pass certain avs
the Governor wanted upon the looks. He
is doing this in the face of the fact chat
many Of the members of those LeSisla-
lures are again candidates for the Legis-
lature. TO well-jnformed people here the
situation looks critical in Wisconsin. The
belief prevails that Governor LaFolette
wants to lie rid of Senator Spooner. and is
in roundabout way encouraging his fol
lowers to knife the spooner nominees

Morgan. On this point Mr.. Watterson
writes:

We are as it were coasting along shore
waters: the weather is clear; the waves
are at rest. The peace may be illusionary;
it may be the calm that precedes the
storm. Who shall say? That we are
sailing under dizzy heights and around
dangerous headlands must be plain to old
navigators. There can be no safety to an
economic system resting SO largely upon
one man. as our present system rests on
Pierpont Morgan. When kings and en-
perors condescened to pay kind OF court
TO a republican comnoner, when Wall
street, giving the law TO the stock mar
kets of Cnrstiandom, hangs upon the life
OF monarch greater than any who wears

No Fatalities.

CHICAGO. ILL, November With
crash that could be heard for blocks. one
Of the temporary grandstands erected for
the Wisconsin Michigan football game
collapsed this afternoon. carrying down
July 1000 people. Thirty-two people were
injured, but none OF them fatally.
The stand which collapsed was one OF
three that had been brought from Wiseon-

The blame for the accident rests, ac-

stand. The police and the building inspec-
.ors did their best 20 keep the people out
until the braces had been properly placed.
but the crowd became so large and I'M
wieldy that 1t was decided to allow them
TO enter the stand. which could be finished
after they had taken their seats. There
was intense excitement on the grounds.
and the police had the greatest difficulty
in restraining the crowd.

MORGAN AT THE HORSE SHOW.
he Created Sensation When He
Appeared in Chicago.


CHICAGO. November Gowns and
horses were cclipsed at the horse show
last night by ]. P. Morgan. He occupied
the box of Secretary Sydney c. Love and
appeared to enjoy himself immensely
More than that. he was evidently in a
compla cent mood. aniable to his associ-
ateS when one Of them unloaded bon
mot that suited the old gentleman's fancy
and being politeness itself to the local f.
nancer magnates, q number of whom
hurried over to the Coliseum when they
learned that Mr.. Morgan was in town, to
pay their respects
Hardly had the party taken seats in
the box when the word went around that
Morgan is over in So and there was an
earnest but dignified scuffie on the part
of large section of the hoi polloi to get
over there and see what he looAed like.
The result was that the passageway in
front of box So did a great business. and
several hundred people who had seen the
pictures OF Mr.. Morgan. were enabled to
check them up from the real goods.
Mr.. Morgan himself seemed obivious to
the sensa ton he was creating. When men
and women in punches stopped and peered
earnestly at him he EaZed over their heads
into the show ring, and either felt or at
fected consuming interest in the horses
that were champing their bits. Even the
drivers of these Steeds were unable wholly
10 overcome their natural curiosity, and
one of them nearly pitched out of his cart
while endeavcrinS to steer his horse north
west by north, and a the same time keep
ing an eye on Morgan. who at that mo-
ment was hull down on the reinsnans
starboard quarter.

days and not tell anybody about it, was

NORFOLK. VA, November 1.-(Spe-
cial.)-On the very threshold of the cleo
ton. which viii determine who is to
represent the Second Virginia Congress
sional District. it would appear that there
is not the renotest contingency that the
Hon. Harry Lee Maynard will not sue
ceei himself in the next Congress.
Mr.. FL ghes. the distinguished Repub-
Iican opponent Of Mr.. Maynard has been
making very active canvass in a quiet
way: but. with all due respect to that
gentleman, the fact remains that his can
dldacy has not thus far been taken very
seriously by the voters.
They figure it out that II Mr.. Maynard
in 1900 beat his Republican opponent DR..
Wise: Mr.. Williams, the Labor candidate
from this city. and the Socialist Labor
candidate. who hailed from Newport
News by the magnificent majority he
then scored he can certainly do as well
with but q single opponent in the field
and with the present electorate over
whelmingly Democratic.
Mr.. Hughes of late adopted the plan
used by Mr.. Maynard in his ante-primary
fight for the nomination. He has been
sending personal letters to the voters In

Yesterdays football games were full
of interest. not only in themselves. but as
opportunities for comparison Of the Tela-
the North and of the leading southern
elevens.
Thre were several very hard. stubborn
ly-fought contests yesterday and few
demonstrated just what has been expect
ed by the student Of the game. who
watches the results and draws deductions
from them.
The greatest surprise of the day was
the inability Of Yale to defeat West Point
1t had been expected from the difficulty
Harvard had in winning from the SOL
diers that the New Haven men would
have no cake-walk to the army goal.
but no one suspected that the mighty
men Of the Blue would do no better than
battle 70 draw. That is just what hap
pened. 1t was to be expected that Prince
ton, after it's brilliant game and big score
against so strong a team as Columbia,
would have beaten Cornell by a larger
score. for the Ithacans have not made
strong record this year. Undoubtedly,
however. the team has taken decided
brace in prepare ton for the game with
Pennsylvania and or yesterdays form
may humble the pride Of the Red and
Blue and fill Pennsylvania hearts with
gall.
For the first time an opportunity for
direct comparison Of the University of
Virginia and it's prospective opponent,
the University of North Carolina. has
been afforded, and also measure of the
relative strength of the Virginia Military
Institute and Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute elevens. The comparison. so far
as it relates 10 Virginia and North Caro-
lima, is not as desirable as it might have
been, however. for it has been several
weeks since the Chapel Hill men beat
the Davidson College team, and since
that the team has developed very much
greater strength. Cardinals score was
rs to 0; Virginia's yesterday. IS to 0; and
it would have been greater had Virginia
cared to show its hand. But there was
no call for display of its strength.
Unquest!onably Virginia Is some eight
or ten points stronger than North Caro-
lima, but the Carolinians are gaining
strength by hard games every week.
and will be a worthy competitor of Vir-
einia when the two meet Thanksgiving
Day.
