will be strong pressure brought to bear
to have the seven forwards stay in line
until the ball is snapped back and to-
permit the first man getting the ball
from the snap back to run with 1t.
To SO change the rules as to permit
the quarterback, or any other back. to
run with the ball without 1t having to
be handled by three men is thought by
some experts to be the most practicable
way Of discounting mass formations and
encouraging open play Close formations
could be retained by having man stand
close to the center, take the ball and
then pillow through the line by the other
backs grouping around him. To obviate
this move, however the adherents Of the
second man plan may insist that the rules
provide that the man running with the
bah stand four or. five yards behind the
center. ~
With their backs five yards behind the
line it is argued that they will go for
the ends for gains rather than trying the
line on account of the other side getting
through on them if they go straight
ahead. Another point urged in favor OF

this plan that it would call for more
long passing than at present and improve
the game from a. spectacular standpoint.
On the other hand, 1t is pointed out that
there would be little scoring in plays of
this sort, and scoring is what makes the
game interesting and is what the people
want to see.
The defensive side of football has prog
ressed SO far that smashing formations
and strategy in concealing the location
of the ball are necessary to. cope with the
defense. The center Of gravity Of both
offense and defense is much lower down
than it was eight years ago. and so, the
advocates Of close formations declare, the
present day low defense requires the stiff
fest sort of an attack to penetrate it.
Those who are crying for more play
and the abolition of mass attacks should
bear in mind one thing said a noted
coach, "and that is If. play is made so
open that spectators can tell the player
who takes the ball it would be child's
play for the other. side to diagnose the
Eplay The result would be that the run
ner would be stopped where he stood.

The land office report for the month
of November will show very heavy
receipts.
The total cash receipts for the month
will amount to about $4,000. which
is made up as follows: Sale of public
lands, $35. 095.79; fees and commits
sions, S351.9S: timber tJespass,
$S1 and $195.75.
This is considered a very heavy
months business at the local office,
$50, 900 being considered about an aver
age months. receipts. The largest
months business ever transacted was
in the month of May last, when the
receipts totaled about ISL, 900.
The heavy business of the past
month is largely owing to the open
ing Of the two new townships in
Lake county during the early part
of September.
In one Of the townships there were
"a entries on the first day. and in
the other So.
The proofs of these stone and tim
Der claims have been coming in dur
ing the past month and have swellet
the receipts to the large figure they
have attained.

BEN HUR.
The Grandest Specta Gle Ever
STAGED.

Klaw & Erlanger's massively ornate
spectacle. "Ben-Hur" is to be staged
at the Lyceum Theatre, Duluth,
December % to 26 inclusive. Special
matinees are to be given on Christmas
Day, December 25 and Saturday, De-
cember 26.
The dramatization of Gen. Lew
Wallace's great novel has never been
seen outside of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago and
few other cities during the past four
years. William Young, who made the
dramatization, has succeeded most
admirably in the production of a
drama which not only retains the
most absolute fidelity of Gen. Wal
lace's great book, but which does not
offend the most devout Christian.
Professor Edgar Stillman Kelley, has
heightened the solemnity of Ben
Hur" with music that is positive
delight to the ear. The stage set
tings provided by Klaw & Erlanger
have never been equalled in this
country. The pictures of 1.-THE Star
of Bethlehem. 1.-The City of Jerusa-
lem from the terrace garden of the
palace of Hur." "The Interior of a
Roman galley" The Grove of Dap
hne." THE Fountain of Castalia."
1.-THE Chariot Race" 1.-The Vale of
Hinnom and the Mount of OUves.n
are remarkable exhibits of the best
scenic arts. To these are added some
wonderful effects in lightning, as in
the Star of Bethlehem and in stage
mechanics. as in the chariot race.
The contrivances used to make the
chariot race cost no less than $4,000.
Eight horses race in full view of the
audience. Each animal runs on a
separate tread mill and the effect of
Ben-Hur'S quar- tet of horses winning
is produced by electric power conceal
ed beneath the stage. An immense
cyclorama representing the interior of
VIZ oAShe "ioh Ol
painted people whirled across the
stage in the opposite direction from
that which the horses are headed,
greatly increasing the illusion, as the
audience is apparently going with the
horses. This is not only spectacular
but dramatic success as well.
The great scene which closes the
play is the healing of the lepers on
Mount Olives. Here hundreds of peo-
pie are. arranged in picturesque group
ings, the whole forming one of the
most beautiful pictures which has
ever been put on the stage. The
personality of the Nazerene is not
shown in the play, but in this scene

BIG SUBSCRIPTION
 FOR BLACK WELDERS
PEOPLE OF WooDLAWN RAISE MORE THAN $500 FOR PREACHER AND FAMILY WHO LOST ALL IN FIRE.

A subscription of over $500 has been raised by the people of Woodlawn for the family of Rev. w. M. Blackwelder, whose parsonage was totally destroyed by fire Saturday morning and who lost everything In the fire
 The people of Woodlawn are very much attached to Mir. BlacBwelder. and the threat to take the life of his wife and children has greatly aroused them. It will be remembered that Mrs. Black welder and the three young children were at home together when the former was awakened by some one breaking into the window of her room. She states that a white ran pointed a pistol at her, commanded her not to make any noise and then searched the room for money. Not finding any, she claims he set the place on fire by throwing an explosive into some oil which he poured on the floor.
 Every attention possible Is being given the family, and the subscription was raised to aid them in getting more cloth ing, furniture and other necessities.
 Collections were also taken up in a number of the Baptist churches in the district for the Blackwelder family It is understood all the churches will do like wise.
