FOOTBALL SEASON
ABOUT TO CLOSE
This Week Ends Big Con-
tests on GridiPOD.
ARMY AND NAVY GAME
Annapolis and West Point VIII Lock
Horns at Philadelphia Next
Saturday.

While the football championship has
been decided in favor OF Princeton, and
Yale has ended the season in second
place. there are still several hard games
10 be played. in which the followers of
the strenuous gridiron sport are greatly
interested.
On Thanksgiving Day the teams of
Pennsylvania and Cornell viii have their
annual struggle in Philadelphia Both
colleges have done rather poorly on
the gridiron this season. For this rea-
son the game is not quite SO important
as il has been in years gone BY. Penn
sylvania was easily beaten by Column
bia, Harvard by the Indians, and Cor
nell got terrible drubbing at the hands
of Princeton, the Tigers winning by
the unusual score OF A to 0. Cornell
showed up SO well in the second half of
the contest with Columbia, however
that the partisans Of the Ithaca college
expect their e'even TO play first rate
football Thursday. They are also sure
that their team Will beat the Quakers.
Pennsy Hopeful
The Philadelphia students are any
thing but hopeful. Their representatives
nave gone from bad to worse ever since
the battle with Columbia in this city
the team attaining the form necessary
TO beat the men Of Cornell. The ouakers
nave such little faith IN their band or
footballists that they are asking the
comedians Odds of TO l. In fact. very
few Pennsylvania students care TO do
any betting on the game.
Despite the poor form of both teams
during the FAST few weeks. there is
nttie doubt that the contest will be
gamely fought on both sides, but il
looks like a certain, victory for the
Ithaca eleven.
Next Saturday the annual battle be-
tween the Annapolis and West Point
cadets will take place I'm PHILADELPHIA.
There is little doubt that the West
Point team viii win. The soldiers gave
a f1pe exhibition when they defeated the
strong team Of Chicago University BY a
score OF 10 10 6. The sailors, on the
other hand. have not played good foot
ball in single game this season. The
middies, however. generally rise to the
occasion when they face the future gen
erals so West Point can look for no
easy victory
Carlisle Game.
The Carlisle Indians will journey to
Chicago next Saturday and plav the

report on the condition of the treasury
June 80, 1903. and it's operations during
the past fiscal year The total net rev.
enue for the year was $3.50, ,396673, an
increase of S3S.9SS. .i39 over the year

The surplus was $54 .297 ,667, as COM
pared with 91.2S7 ,375 in 1902.
In the receipts there was an increase
of more than $30.00O,00O from customs
and falling off of over SAL 900 900
from internal revenue. the latter being
the result of legislation enacted with
that object. On the side of expendi-
lures, there was an increase in every
important account except pensions and
interest, in which there were slight
savings The expenditures for the two
military departments. which together
amounted to s191 ,237 .554. forming by
far the heaviest outlay for any single
purpose, were more than s21 900, 900
greater than the year before.

sides the revenues, the receipts from
bonds, notes and coin certificates, was
$1.211 1874, $40. and the aggregate out

The total estimated stock of gold

Al per cent. of the whole. The gold in
the treasury amounted to $63l, ,42O,7S9

ever recorded.
There has been a continual increase
in the proportions of paper currency

keeps pace with the demand. The sup
ply can he increased If congress will
authorize the issue of gold certificates
for SO and remove the restriction on
the issue of SIS notes by national banks.
To meet the constant pressure requires
strenuous effort in the preparation of
the currency issue.

PREPARING TO
PAY SOLDIERS

Denver Oct, "A News special
from Victor last night says:
Assistant Paymaster Colonel Kim
ball. who is now preparing the payroll
of the militia, stated tonight that the
soldiers and all of the merchants who
will be paid in cash the early part
of next week The payments will be
for service and supplies rendered dur
ing the first twenty days of the mill
tary occupation of the Cripple Creek
district. For this service the soldiers
will receive 81 per day.
We are now making out the pay-rolls
and footing up the bills said Colonel
Kimball at Camp Goldfield.- "It will
take us couple of days yet to get
these bills and payrolls finished, and
then the whole matter will have to go
before the military board of the state
for approval"
This board consists of Governor Pea
body. Attorney General Miller, Adult
ant General Bell and Inspector General
Cross, who is paymaster general also.
This will probably necessitate visit
to Denver by General Bell and Colonel
Cross.
Colonel Kimball explained that the
state did not have the cash in the mill
itary fund. to pay the expense incurred
but that a number of banks had agreed
to furnish the money to the state and
take certificates of Indebtedness at four
per cent. interest, payable within four
years. Colonel Iiimball refused to
state the amount of Indebtedness which
has already been incurred by the
state, but this is estimated in the
neighborhood of $3.50 including $40,-
600, the amount due the soldiers. This
last figure includes only the salaries of
the privates. Many of the officers re-
ceive large salaries during their serv-
ice in the field.
The Bank of Victor is one of those
agreeiEg to take certificates of indebt-
edness from the state at face value.
Other banks in the district have also
subscribed for large amounts of the
certificates.
