BEATEN BY INDIANS.


ITHACA, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-The Cornell
football eleven was defeated on Percy Field
by the Carlisle Indians to-day. The score
was 10 points to 6 and all the scoring was
done in the first half. The Indians were at
their best and they could not have met Cor
nell when the Ithacans were in worse
shape. CornelI's back field was crippled,
and Coach Morrison was obliged to send
into the fray substitutes whose ability was
questioned and who had had little expert
ence in games.
A faster and more determined lot of foot
ball players than the Indians never came
to Percy Field. Their plays were we'll con-
ceived and were c~leverly varied, while their
interference was superb. y play which
massed quickly on tackle was used with
great effectiveness and was responsible for
a large number of Indian gains, while
tackle back and end shift formations kept
Cornell guessing. Carlisie's scores were due
largely to good luck. Interference with a
free catch gave the Indians fifteen addi-
tionai yards and afforded Wheelock a IA
vorable opportunity TO kick goal from a
place on the ~thirty-yard line.
Carlisle's touchdown came after a re-
markabie piece of good fortune. Williams
punted from well in the Indian territory
and the ball, being low, rolled past Brew
Tydeman's leg and Bradley fell on II. The
Indians soon sent the ball over by their
heavy masses on CornelPs line. Cornell's
score was made from a block kick imme-
diately after the Indians touchdown. In
the second half CornelIs attack was feeble,
able to protect Cornell's goal by continually
punting out OF danger. Lineup:

ARBOR DAY DUE TO EFFORTS
OF. STERLING MORTON

Those are wonderful monuments
which j. Sterling Morton has left as
memories of his abiding faith i'm the
great west. No grander shaft was
ever erected than the living trees
which dot what was once the scared
prairies. That he had the genius to
realize the necessity of planting trees
in the new country is of more i'm
portance to the world than any other
intellectual achievement of the well
known Nebraskan.
Tree planting i'm the west has be-
come an established custom. Too
much credit cannot be given to the
founder of the institution. II may be
urged that he was a crank on this
subject. II he was. the more honor
TO him.
Seldom indeed can a schonlhouse in
Nebraska or Kansas be found with
out the accompanying shade trees.
Even the rank cottonwoods of the
Kansas streams may be found in the
country school yards. They are very
rapid growth. and. even though an in
ferior sort. their shade has prepared
the way for better trees.
With the settlement of the country
elms and maple have gradually dis
placed the cottonwoods. Arbor day
has seen thousands of children plant
ing the harder and more desirable
species beside the large cottonwOods.
Mr.. Morton always advocated the en-
enlargement of trees which would
he of permanent value to the com
munity.
1t is not probable that Arbor day
will die. Every state and territory
in the union with the exception of
Delaware and Indian territory. has
named day. In fourteen states the
is a legal holiday. In time
the other commemorative will prob
ably make the list even longer. The
movement may he considered the re-
suit of Mr. Morton's efforts. The
good which has been done can hardly
DE measured. As an influence for an
early permanency of homesteads the
planting of trees has been potent.
As memorial to a man whose hope
was i'm the west. the frees are an en-
during evidence.

IN POLICE COURT CASE

\ hearing i'm Magistrate Johnson's

end of two days effort on the part
of y. 5. Blessing. the Market square
popcorn and peanut dealer, to secure
what he considered justice. Wednes-
day evening Edward Elliott. young

The proprietor happened to be using

closed. The would-be customer tap
ped on the window with the coin he
wanted to spend and blessing re-
sponded not. Again he tapped. lit
tie harder. 50 much 50, i'm fact, that
the glass cracked. Then the propri-
ctor hung up the receiver and there
was more or less trouble-through
the window. Elliott went elsewhere
to trade.
The next day blessing appeared at
the office of Justice ShriVer and
asked To have a warrant made out
charging Elliott with malicious mis-
chief. The dispenser of law and
equity proceeded To comply. but
when il came to the part where Bless
ing's place of business was termed a
shop" according to- the legal form
made and provided. proceedings
struck a snag. and rather than have
the Market square confectionery"
thus degraded the owner withdrew
his complaint. \ warrant was final
Iy secured before Justice Cleland and
at the hearing change of venue was
taken to Magistrate johnson. Here
Blessing essayed the role of states
attorney and the case. as far as it
went, was full of features. The
charges were not sustained by the
magistrate ON the ground that there
was no i'll motive shown on the part
of the defendant.
