SCHOOL OPENS.

MONudy iiidI htu Tue Opcn.uS
ofthe Canyon City Public school,
and the small boy and girl was
there in nervous anticipation Of
what twas goin' to happen. !"
The board of trustees, with the
exception of Secretary K. W.
O'Keefe, who is away from
town, was in attendance and
several patrons greeted the
faculty and wished them God
speed in their work of inStruc-
ton. 2lS pupils swelled the
register the opening day and
many more are expected within
the next week. The building
has been repaired here and there
and presents a reasonably re
spectacle appearance, though
both teacher and pupil feel the
inadequacy of the structure for
the present demands. Only the
hope aud knowledge of having
something better in the way of
a school building in the near
future could possibly reconcile
the pupils to the present state
of affairs and perchance a teach
er or two feels the same way
about it.
The first hour of the opening
Of school is always to the pupils
and teachers a most trying one.
The pupil is at once DESTROYS
and impatient to be assigned to
his or her room. desk, desk
mate, etc, and the teacher is
equally DESTROYS of accomplish
ing this object, though in many
| Instances the best drilled dis
ciplinarian is at a loss just how
to dispense this part of the pro
gram with the greatest dispatch
and the least possible friction
to perfect harmony among the
pupils. But the News reporter
was informed that Prof. Lackey,
the principal, was found equal
to this occasion, calling to his
aid a few we'll chosen words out
lining "what was what"
Judging from the beginning,
and the intelligence and STAN
ina OF our really strong faculty
the News predicts this to be a
most successful year in the his
tory of educational work in ou'
| town, despite the TACT tndt con
ditions are not the most favora
| BILE for such Il success.
The News is a unit for boost
ing our school, it's board of trus'
tees, and its faculty of noble
teachers until we have an edu
cational institution unSurpass
ed in the Panhandle, and let u
not forget to encourage the pu
pills and teachers, tor herein
lies a part Of the foundation Of
a good school.

occurred during the running of the sixth
race at Brighton Beach, resulting in the
death of Jockey Frank Miller. The
race was for maiden 2-year- oIds at six
furlongs and eighteen unruly horses
went to the post. The start was fair,
but before the field had gone half a mile,
Sonoma Bell, ridden by Firman, made
an attempt to go upon the rail- and in
doing so was shut off and stumbled and
fell. Clytie, with Miller up, was direct
ly behind and stumbled over Sonoma
Bell. Miller was thrown heavily, and
died a few moments after he had been
taken to the temporary hospital on the
track An examination showed tine
print of a horses hoof on his chest. Fir
man escaped injury.

Editors of Wellington News Are
Ready for Trial.

Wellington, Kan, Oct. 15.-H. L..
Woods and John G. Woods, editors of
the Daily News, have been arrested by
county, upon a warrant charging them
with having published a libel on Ed
Hackney, a Wellington lawyer.
A letter was written to suit the oc-
casion in the case of T. F. Randolph
vs.. Edwin McCauley, over a quarter
section of land in this county. These
statements as printed by Woods are
based upon the evidence of Cleo Bur-
nette who was disbarred from the prac-
tice of law here some time ago.
W. P. Hackney of Winfield and uncle
to Ed Hackney is the attorney against
the defendants. AS the News has a
few subscribers in Cowley county the
case is to be tried in that county.
The defendants bond was fixed at
$500 each which they readily gave which
bound them over to the next term of
court in Cowley county.

Six Fastest Heats Ever TrOtted

purse $1,000. Two heats each have been
won by Monte Carlo, Hawthorne and
DR.. Strong. The deciding heat was post
poned on account of darkness and will
be trotted today.
The previous worlds record for six

one-third of a second.
The Mcdowell stake created more ex-
element than has any other race during
the meeting. Dan T., the favorite, was
drawn after the second heat. The first
two heats were won by Monte Carlo.
Hawthorne took the third heat, Monte
Carlo came in first in the fourth heat,
but was placed fourth and last by the
judges, Scott Hudson, driver of Haw-
thorne, claiming a foul
The judges allowed the claim over the
bowling protest of the crowd, which had
bet heavily on Monte Carlo. Hudson
claimed that Walker. driver of Monte
Carlo, struck Hawthorne across the face
with his whip at the head OF the stretch.
The judges saw Walker illegally using
his whip. Hawthorne Immediately broke
and finished second. The judges took
testimony from hcrsemen and disinter-
ested witnesses, and they testified I'M
animously that Walker had cut Haw-
thorne across the face with his whip.
A fight was narrowly averted in the
judges stand between Hudson and
Walker. Hudson had remarked, IN
swear that he did it." Walker responded,
Yes, and you'd swear to anything"
Hudson made a grab for Walker, but
they were separated. The crowd hooted
the decision when Hawthorne was an
nounced as the heat winner. Fourth
money will go to The Roman, as he
finished inside the flag in five heats.

Yale SO: Holv Gross 10.

New Haven, Conn, Oct 15.-The Holy
Cross football eleven furnished a sensa-
ton on Yale field by playing the most
spectacular game of the season and
scoring 10 points against Yale. Yale
had scored five touchdowns and had
forced Holy Cross to add safety to her
credit in the first half. The second half
opened with number of subs on the
Yale team.
A costly tumble by Preston lost not
only the ball, but ground. Holy Cross
failed to gain by rushing, and carried
the ball toward the middle of the thirty
yard line. where Peed dropped back to
the thirty-five yard line and, with Lar
kin to catch and place the ball for him,
sent it between the posts clean and true.
Yale renewed her rushing game and
bore Holy Cross down the field to a
sixth touchdown. Five minutes later
Yale again fumbled and from almost
the same location Reed again succeeded
in placing a goal. Even Yale students
cheered the play. During the remainder
of the half Holy Cross rushed the ball
far better than Yale and once Mccarthy
nearly got a clear field to the goal after
bucking his way through for twenty
yards. The final score was: Yale 36,
Holy Cross 10.

Princeton. N. j.. Oct 15.-The Prince
ton players had to meet a hard game
Wednesday. but played rather indiffer-
emily, scoring only II points against
Lehigh. The visitors played aggres-
sively, and three times made their
downs Princeton was held for downs
four times, made three fumbles at crit
icaI moments and was penalized for
holding several times. The first half
closed with the score to 0.
Princeton began the second half with
a rush, and when on the courtyard line
lost the ball on a tumble. Lehigh' s
kick was blocked by Foull1e, and Nc
Clave scored. Lehigh got the ball on a
tumble Just outside of the 17-yard line,
and before the ball was brought in, the
quarterback kicked and fell on the ball
across the line. The score was disputed,
but the officials did not count it, be-
cause the ball was put in play Outside
the line.
Time of halves. 20 minutes.

STONE OVER HORSES GRAVE.
Racer of Twenty Years Ago Remem-
bered by His Owner.

Hagerstown, Ind, Oct. 15.-Captain c.
B. Jackson. whose home is known as
Jackson Hill, on the National road, in
this county, has ordered handsome
monument, which he will erect over the
grave of Black Frank, his famous trot-
ting horse. which died almost 20 years
ago. Black Frank was one of the most
famous horses of his day. and at the
age of % trotted one of the fastest miles
of the time. Captain Jackson and many
Indiana horsemen who knew Black
Frank give it as their opinion that he
would have been the tWo-minute horse
if he could have had the present day
advantages of scientific care and train
ing, pneumatic sulky and modern
tracks.
Captain Jackson has sent out invita-
lions to many horsemen and other citi-
zens in this and other states to be
present at the unwilling of the monu-
ment on the 21st inst. The horse was
buried in the front yard at the owners
residence, and there the monument will
be erected.
When Black Frank died he was wrap
ped in a silk flag and given a funeral
which was largely attended. The pres
ent monument is the fulhllment of a
vow made by Captain Jackson at the
time the horse died. An elaborate pro-
gramme has been arranged to be pre-
scented at the unwilling ceremonies.
There will be speeches, a presentation of
Black Franks history and notable per-
formances, music etc. 1t is expected
that large crowd will be present.

HARVARD SHOULD HAVE WON
Pennsylvania Players Think Officials
Erred in Saturdays Game.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 15.-Regarding
herst game Saturday, when, because the
Amherst end was offside at the 4-yard line
when Harvard plunged over the goal line,
the umpire sent the ball back but penal
lied Amherst two yards, the Pen coach
and captain agreed today that Harvard
should have been allowed the touchdown
Coach Williams said:
In justice to Harvard it should have
been allowed the play. The present rules
are confusing, none exactly covering the
present case. Rule q undoubtedly ap-
piled to a midfield play only. When con-
fusion of the rules exists the spirit and
not the letter should be observed. In
such a case Harvard should have Won
Captain Metzgar said THE Amherst
end being offside cut no ice as he would
not be in the play, anyhow. The rules
say the offended side, if penalized, may
decline the penalty. Probably the excite
ment caused this to be overlooked. The
Harvard captain if appealed to should
have insisted on his rights.
Other players talked along the same
lines.

VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed by Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening, under
mining troubles, which mankind Is heir
to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim
is careless and neglectful of the disease
at first because the pain is slight and
the bleeding may only occur occasIonaI-
ly, or he may be treasured by the occa-
sional disappearance of the symptoms.
And yet if at the very start he had
Inflammation, he would probably never
have had a return of this irritating
malady.
Piles may develope at any season of
the year, and at almost any age or the
victim; the abuse of cathart1cs often
causes this trouble, and a period ar
rives when the dread of pain at stool
becomes so great that the sufferer be-
gins to neglect the calls of nature, and
the bowels are either forced to retain the
feces or are only partially cleared, on
account of the suffering attendant upon
a thorough movement
Before you reach this stage use rem
edy which removes the cause, thereby
Graduating the disease. and that is the
Pyramid Pile Cure which is sold by ali
druggists at fifty cents package; it is
in the form OF q suppositOry, is applied
directly to the parts affected and brings
painlessly. A valuable little book on
the cause and cure of piles is published
by the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, and we advise every sufferer to
send for a COPY of it
People VINO have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from bust
ness or interference with daily occupa-
ton.
Il feel IT my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles, I am entirely cured thanks to
this remedy. Anyone doubling this can
write to Margaret Brady. 1856 Whitman

Said CLERK was incompetent.

Emporia, Kas., Oct. 15-Santa Fe
Agent Ilett, who discharged militia
man, says that the discharge was made
because of the clerks incomDetency.
He had been employed but eight days
and was discharged before Ilett knew
he was going to the militia maneuvers
at Manhattan. Captain Vyne, of the
local militia company, has a warrant
sworn out for the agent, charging him
with dischargin the clerk because of
neglect of railroad duties to do militia
service. This Agent Ilett Indignantly
denies The officials of the Santa F'e,
hearing of the trouble, insisted that the
clerk be reinstated if the cause of his
discharge had anything to do with his
attending the Fort Riley maneuvers.
The Santa Fe officers, both in topeka
and Chicago, have inquired into the
matter and desire that no injustice be
done the clerk.

Everything in Readiness for Opening
of Fort Riley Maneuvers.

Junction City. Kan, Oct. 15.-With
the exception of the eight companies of
the Twenty-first infantry that are on
their way from Fort Smelling. Mimi,
all the regular troops that will partic-
ipated in the maneuVers are now in camp
Wednesday afternoon another drenching
rain fell over camp and the ground is
in worse condition than ever.
Roads to all parts of the camp are
nearly knee deep with mud. There is
no sickness in camp and the men are
in good spirits. At headquarters it is
thought the programme for regimental
drill and outposts by regiments will
not be carried out unless there is a
great change in the weather.
Brigadier General Thomas H. Barry
and a large number of umpires arrived
at the camp last night. Major General
Bates, who will be m command of the
maneuver division, will arrive today
