| Riches Of the Indian Territory.
In natural resources Indian Ter
ritory is one Of the richest parts Of
the United States. The entire
north eastern portion Of 1t is one
magnificent prairie Of tho most

erabls streams and beautified BY
groves Of primeval splendor. All
the remaining parts Of this won.

Rich though this country is,
there has been one great drawback
to it's development. 1t has been
owned by Indians and exploited
by spectators. The homeseeker

THE HElRESS IS LOST
PROFESSOR DUBOIS LEAVES FOR
TUNE TO DAUGHTER WHOSE
EXISTENCE WAS UNKNOWN TO
HIS FRIENDS.

New, York, Dec. ia romance,
buried nearly hal ia century has been
disclosed by the filing for probate of
the will made by. Alphaeus D.. Dubois,
who had presided over a public school
of this city as principal for fifty-three
years. lie retired three years ago and
died Sunday. The will astonished
even his most intimate friends for it
showed that he had amassed a for
tune valued at one-quarter to half a
million Of dollars.
The romantic interest in the will
arises from the fact that a, bequest is
made to Professor Dubois daughter.
Not even the old schoolmasters most
Intimate friends, and his confidants
were few, knew he had been mar
ried, and the testator, in naming the
daughter, used only her given name,
because he did not know to whom she
had been married.
Investigation shows that the pro-
fessor separated from his wife nearly
fifty. years ago.. She went away, tax
ing their little girl, and neither the
husband nor his relatives ever heard
from them again. They are supposed
to be still alive and in this. country. but
where no one knows. s, The professors
relatives refuse to give any informa-
ton regarding the affair long buried
in the past but it is said the wife was
a member Of a we'll known family
here.
Professor Dubois was the son of a
minister. His wealth is supposed to
have been accumulated thru shrewd
investment of his savings as a, teacher
For more than twelve years he lived in
a small room, preparing part of his
own meals and declared he spent only
a dollar or SO daily, while his income
grew until it reached the sum Of $50.

POOR GRADE OF FOOTBALL
WEST POINT-ANNAPOII GAME
MERELY A SOCIETY EVENT,
SAYS w. T.. PIERARD.

William E. Pierard of this city has
just returned from a trip to New York
and Philadelphia. He witnessed the
West Point-Annapolis game while in
the latter city, and says that the con-
test was characterized by much social
eclat, but little football. Mr.. Pierard
says:
II have seen high schools in Mime
apolis which put up q better quality of
football than Annapolis did. The
West Point-Annapolis game is simply
a social function. In that respect it
army and navy lent tone to the oc-
casion, and all the bluebloods were
present. Spectators held seats as
high as $25 each.
"As a football exhibition the game
was bowling farce. West Point
the scores made by the soldiers against
the big eastern teams. the standard of
football at Yale, Princeton and Har-
ward cannot be much, If any, ahead Of
that displayed by such western
elevens as Michigan and Minnesota.
Those two teams could run up big
scores on West Point.
II was surprised to see the scant at
tention given Minnesota in the eastern
papers. Both the Philadelphia and
New York papers had fairly lengthy
accounts of the Michigan-Chicago
game Thanksgiving Day, and good &C
counts Of the Carlisle-N Northwestern
contest, but all Minnesota got was a
line with the final score. The eastern
ers are almost totally ignorant of
athletic conditions in the west"
Neither the University band nor the
rooters' excursion will accompany the
Minnesota team when it goes to Cali
fornia to meet the eleven which rep
resents the university of that state. 1t
| would cost more than $4,000 to take
the band to Frisco. and no plan has
been devised by which this, amount
can be raised. The special train
planned by Colonel F. M Joyce also
has been abandoned, as it was found
| impossible to get fifty men to take the
| trip at the rates offered.
Minnesota will have supporters at
! the game, however, for a number of
Minnesota alumni in California are

ate of the university medical depart
ment, says that a large body of root
ers will be there to cheer for Mime

play. He says Minnesota should win

western team he says:

BASKET BALL

The directors of the Western Baseball league

last month by President Sexton of the league
The suggestion that the Western league will
likely give up Kansas City to the American
association is not confirmed by Mr. Sexton, who
asserts that Kansas City is in the Western league
territory and will undoubtedly be awarded to the
league by the arbitra ton committee. He says
that st. Joseph will be retained and that Lincoln
and Sioux City seem to be the most available cit
les to fill up the gaps caused by the withdrawal
of Milwaukee and Peoria. The date of the aralual
meeting was not set, but it probably viii be one
