FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS
HIGH SCHOOL MADE GOOD SHOWING
Against the Strong Steven Point Normal
School Team SaturdNy-Indication That
We Will Have Championship Team.

Last Saturday the high school foot
| ball team of this city went to Stevens
Point to play practice game with
the First Normals of that city.
Every one expected to see the heavy
Normal aggregation defeat OUT boys
| by a very heavy score. The fact that
our boys scored and held the heavy
team down to three touch downs.
speaks we'll for them and leads the
| football enthusiasts to believe that
the High school of this city will have
team this year that will win the
valley championship.
The NormalS had heavy team
which averaged from 160 to ITO pounds
to man while our team averaged
about 135 pounds.
The game was played in the rain,
the field being muddy and slippery.
which gave the heavy team much the
advantage. All of -our boys played
we'll Tor their first game but the lack
Of practice and team work was very
noticeable. Each player seemed to be
too anxious to play the whole game
himself. Bandeline and Brennan
were certainly the stars. ''Bande"
did not let man come around his
end for gain and at three different
times he downed the man, coming
around the opposite end. The way
Brennan chit the line" was fierce.
He was always good for gain through
the opponents, seeming invincible
line.
The story OF the game is as follows:
Grand Rapids kicked off to Stevens
Point. They tried three line smaSheS
but lost the ball on downs. For the
next ten minutes the ball was pushed
back and forth with but small gains.
At last Brennan broke away from the
crowd for the first touch down. Kelley
kicked goal. The Normals then
kicked off to Grand Rapids, the latter
losing the ball on tumble. After a
few scrimmages, Davis broke through
the right side of our line for touch
down. Mallory failed to kick goal.
The half ended with score Of to 5
in favor Of Grand Rapids.
In the second half the Normals
found a weak spot In the Grand
Rapids line and secured two touch
downs around our right end. The
last touch down was made just a
quarter Of minute before time was
called, The game ended with score
of Is to in favor OF the NormalS.

The Worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises
Of KOdol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people we'll and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming
their food into the kind of pure. rich,
red blood that makes you feel gOou

writes: "For number Of years I was
troubled with indigestion and dyspep-

Democratic County Ticket.

The following Democratic County
ticket was placed in nomination last
Friday in the city Of MarShfield with
practically no contentious:
ASsemblyman-W. e. Wheelan.
Sheriff-Mike Vincent.
County Clerk-William Fetkin-
heuer.
Treasurer-John Juno.
Register of Deeds Frank L. Rourke.
District Attorney-C. B. Andrews.
Clerk of COurt-A. B. SutOr.
COrOner-John Jarvis.
Surveyor-Michael Kriugs.
We can see no reason why the above
ticket is not good one, and fully
deserving their party support, yet we
do not see, or know, of any reason
why the present efficient county
officers should not be given a second
term. County matters are in excel
lent condition and its always pretty
good policy for, the people to leave
well enough alone. They probably
will make no change this year.

The Stevens Point Journal has the
following to say Of the game:
The game Of football played Satur-
day between Grand Rapids High
school eleven and the Normal first
eleven was one Of the most interesting
and exciting games ever played in
Stevens Point. Although it rained
all through the game the crowd fol-
lowed the contending teams up and
down the side lines, some cheering
for Grand Rapids and others for
Stevens Point. Considering the
inclemency of the weather one might
infer that the crowd was made up of
men and small boys, but such was not
the case, for sixteen OF the Normal
schools most loyal ladies were out on
the side lines cheering the players
and singing as gaily as if all were sun
shine. Both teams showed grit and
game, and made very few fump ples

no good purpose, and especially in this case
does the dramatist show poor taste. By
what right, one might fairly ask, does a
playmaker tear up and reconstruct one of
Victor Hugo's romances? That authors
works, ii Is true, are not veracious refiec-
tons of life at any period. but in their
texture they are charged with the force of
powerful personality, and when a play
wright seizes on a part of them to make a
melodrama he shows himself as exasper-
atingly presumptuous, not to speak of his
betraying an entire lack OF originality and
ability to observe affairs and report on
them for himself. A second performance

PRICES NOT ADVANCED.
Manufacturers of Chamber Suites
Could Not Agree and Dissolved.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 12-The National
Association of Chamber Suite Manufacture
ers, who manufacture all kinds of furniture
excepting chairs, upholstered parlor furni-
ture and iron bedsteads, met to-day at the
Grand Hotel with about 125 members pres
ent, representing about that number of
manufacturing plants, and after an alI-day
session agreed that there could be MOTH
ing but disagreement among the members
regarding prices, the most important and
practically the only matter that had
claimed the attention of the meeting, and
formally disDanded or abandoned the ma
tional association.
The strife over prices was caused by the
determined stand taken early in the sea-
son for a sharp advance by a number of
the delegates. Other members as stubborn
ly opposed a marked advance Just now
their chief argument for keeping prices
down, Notwithstanding the constant upward
tendency of all materials being that such
action would be giving competitors who
were not members of the association too
great an advantage. 1t became clearly an
parent that there could be no compromise
or other getting together on the subject
so that an abandonment of the association
was the only thing in order and the members
left the meeting room and their organiza-
ton together on the adjournment of the
final session. President p Hummer of

complex and radical changes in financial

ply the needed elasticity in our currency to

ton TO the secured notes. which should be

but would be available in times of emer-
gency. This tax should be so large upon
the solvent issuing banks as TO provide a
fund which, in connection with the pro-
rata share of the assets of an insovent
bank would be sufficient TO redeem the
notes in full without necessitating any
preference of noteholders over depositors
of any insolvent issuing bank. The tax
should be so large as TO force this cur
rency into retirement soon as the
emergency passes. Such a currency could
be used only to lessen the evil effect of the
too rapid liquidation of credits which are
collapsing under a financial panic, but
could not be profitably used as a basis OF
business speculation and imitation. 1t should
be to the business community what the
clearinghouse certificates are TO our cities

gency. not an instrument OF current bust
ness.
Willis s. Payne, of New York. spoke brief
~ on IAN Emergency Currency" in which
he urged the necessity Of having proper
provision in the law for an emergency cur
rency. The present currency was barely
sufficient for trade. he said. and indica-
tions were that with continuation of the
present prosperity there would be a still
greater demand for currency. The gov
eminent obligations due to the recent
prodigality of Congress would shortly fall
due and that would require a great deal of
currency. He commended the efforts OF the
secretary OF the treasury to relieve the
recent stringency. He said the Suffolk
system would have been perfect had IL
been protected by some form of guarantee.
He suggested a highly taxed emergency
currency which would be retired as soon as
the emergency ceased.
