BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Oct. 15.-Indiana
is making strenuous efforts to put up a
hard fight on Jordan Field next Saturday
against its old rival. De Pauw. Last sea-
son its shut out the Methodists and has
high hopes of doing the same this year.
The men are rapidly getting back into
shape since the Michigan game last Satur-
day. which shook some of them up consid-
cradle. The varsity men are rejoicing
much In the return of Roy Pike. who dis
tinguished Indiana in his college days, and
who has been coaching the owls" of Ma
rion. 1t is believed Pike will assist Coach
Horne in helping to put finishing touch
on the men.
Raisback has been unanimously chosen
captain of this years team to fill the va
cency caused by the resignation of Cap
tain Smith, who has been sick but Is now
improving. Railsback is general favorite
among the men and will succeed easily
enough with the team.
The scrub team will go to vincennes next
Saturday and meet the University OF VIM
cennes eleven. This second eleven has
some splendid material, but is in the main
of freshmen stock and in an unorganized
condition.
One more game after the DE Paw game
here Saturday will be played on the home
field; that will be the contest with Notre
Dame, scheduled for the 18th inst. The
varsity eleven hopes to be in the best of
shape for this game, as II Is the only thlng
in the meantime that will be OF decisive
nature. With the Improvement the men
are showing it is thought even this game
will present no serious obstacles.

ash heap, the responsibility Is shared by
architects and builders, who are not mas

sufficient influence to induce owners to

five years on their fire business have been

FIRE INSURANCE.
Addresses by John II. Waters and
Edward Atkinson.

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-Fire insurance was
the principal topic of discussion at a
banquet given here tonight by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association. Several of the
speakers declared that the reason for
so many failures among fire insurance
companies was legislative restriction and
State taxation. One of the principal ad-
dresses was made by John r. Waters, of
New York, who spoke on Protection from
Fire He said in part: what is needed
to place fire insurance on a footing that
will work out satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, is to make II as free as the traffic
in other commodities. Let the buyer be-
ware should be the motto In insurance

Military Academy. was MORALLY wounded.
The government forces had 247 men killed,
while the revolutionists lost 80 men.
Among the latter was General Guevara.
The arrival at the scene of battle at
o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice President
Gomez and a large amount of ammunition
saved the situation for the government
AT that time the odds were greatly against
President Castro, but the arrival OF rein
forcements improved his position. Monday
night the revolutionists still retained their
positions. The fight started again Tuesday
and at 10 o'clock in the morning Castro
retired to La Victoria. At 1 O'Clock the
fighting ceased on both sides.
News of the engagement having reached
Generals Matos and Mendoza they hastened
to the scene and arrived at point near
La Victoria with the rest of the revolu-
tionary army, which now numbers about

They lie on the battlefield as they fell, and
the scene there Is one of great horror.
