OURTEAMLOST
The Worthineton Foot Ball Team
!. Loses the Third Game.

Saturday afternoon the Jackson
and Worthington High School foot
ball teams met on the fair grounds
and our team lost but put up good
game.
jackson kicked off. Worthington
made q good return but lost tho ball
on a tumble in their second effort to
advance the ball. Jackson then ad-
vanced the ball slowly but steadily
by bucking the line to withina yard
Of the goal where Worthington held
them for downs. Worthington then
pushed the ball to Jackson's goal
by end runs, to within two yards of
the goal where they were held for
downs. They would have made q
touch down but tho player with the
ball made an error in attempting
to go round the end opposite the
one intended by arrangement. Time
up-score 0 too. -,
A feature in this half was Hag-
gard, White and McKeever making
some good runs.
Second half. Worthington kicked
off. jackson returned the ball a
short distance, and kept advancing
the ball until they made q touch
down and kicked goal, score 6 to 0.
Jackson kicked off, Worthington
fumbled ball and made no gain in
return; they advanced the ball to
center Of field when they made a
foul tackle and were penalized
twenty yards, being unable to make
this in one down lost the ball. Jack
son advanced the ball to within ton
yards of goal line. Time up score
6 to I.
Our boys done remarkably we'll
to hold them down to this score
when difference in weight is consid-
cred. One Of jackson players with
ball was running away with two
opponents on his back and would
have been successful but for being
by a third man. Jackson
made no long runs at all but their
gains were made by superior
It was good game. There
was fair attendance, but receipts
were about nine dollars short of ex-
penses. Earl McKeever was obliged
to leave the game in the second half
on account of a bump on his fore
head. The jackson boys remained
during the evening for the entertain
ment. They were a gentlemanly lot
Of boys and conducted themselves as
such. Young. men who conduct
in this manner COM
mand the ropsect of every one and
add to the success and encourage
ment of athletics.

LETTER FROM FORMER WORTH
lNGTON RESIDENTS.
Benson, MIMI, Oct 20, '03.

Benson, Minn., Oct 20, '03.
promised some Of my friends
in Mobiles county to write to them
through the columns of your worthy
paper.
We have been in this county a
year now and think we like it full
~ as well as Mobiles county as to
climate and soil, but we miss our
old friends and neighbors very
much. If it were not that we have
so much work to keep us busy we
would be- very lonely indeed. But
we still have plenty time to think
of the many friends we have there
if we do not write to them.
The season has been quite wet
here since June but the soil beng
q sandy loan takes more rain with
out harm to crops, than the soil does
there. But we nave had too much
lately. The farmers can scarcely get
their threshing done. The crops
of small grain are generally good OK
cept in very low places. Corn is
very good, you might say extra
throughout the county. We did not
get killing frost until the eighth
o. October and my flower garden is
still in bloom.
We raised an abundance of vege-
tables of all kinds and a splendid
field of corn.
Benson has m ade quite growth
this summer. There have been three
new brick business houses, two fine
dwellings and dozen or more 9th
or houses built in town besides sew
eral new farm houses in the vicinity.
A great part of the population is
foreign but we find them a hard
working, social class among them
sevles and nice neighbors. There
are several families moving in from
Iowa and other places south that
will gradually change the foreign
element. 80: -.
1 cannot speak very highly of our
pubic school. The faculty is not so
oood "a we had at Worthington,
but they will erect a High School
next year, which they greatly need,
then perhaps we will have a better
school. e.. ..'- 4 g.: - .

DANGER LURKED
IN BUTTERMILK
Members of Family of Otto Wedertz
Are Given a Close
Call.

a case of poisoning that was pre-
vented from being fatal only through
the prompt arrival of a physician and
the application of antidotes took
place yesterday afternoon in the fam
lily of Otto Wedertz,. 2s19 Sixth ave
nue.. The trouble arose from drink
ing buttermilk, and Mrs. Wedertz and
three children were affected.
The family drank of the buttermilk,
which had been obtained from dali
ryman yesterday morning, about 1
o'clock. One of the children went to
school. and was there taken i'll about
3 o'clock. The other members were
also affected about the same time,
and at o'clock they summoned DR..
Joseph DeSilva, who found all four
patients in dangerous condition.
After a couple of hours work, how
ever, favorable signs were noted, and
today all danger is reported past, and
the family are able to be about
1t is understood that others who
obtained buttermilk from the same
dairyman were slightly affected, and
the health officers are making an in
vestigation to ascertain the cause. 1t
is thought the trouble resulted from
the acid in the buttermilk attacking
the vessel in which it was kept, form
ing a poisonous compound.

GO OUT ON STRIKE
Journeymen Plumbers Seek to
Enforce Demands Re-
Gently Made.
E1eHT-HoUR DAY THE ISSUE
All Firms but One in City Affected
and Seventeen Men
Are Idle.

The Journeymen plumbers of the
city went on a strike this morning.
the action being the result of the re-
fusal on the part of the master plum
bers to accede to the demands the
men have made for a reduction of the
working hours. All the plumbers with
the exception of those employed by
Channon, Perry & Co., are out, II in
all. \ somewhat larger number of
helpers and laborers are forced into
idleness.
The men have been working nine
hours in this city for a number of
years. Their wages lately have rang
ed from 1925 to 1915 per day. Some
time ago they asked that the day be
| changed to eight hours, and the pay
made $3.50 uniformly. Several con
ferences have been held between the
men and the master plumbers, but
no agreement has been arrived at,
with the result that the men went
out this morning to enforce recogni-
ton of their demand.
Masters Act Independently
The employers are being dealt with
as individuals, and it is expected that
some of them will make settlement
shortly. Channon, Perry & Co. did
so at once, and avoided any loss of
time.
This is dull time of year with the
plumbers, and the consequences of
the strike are not expected to be seri-
Gus, unless complications arise that
involve other lines. So far there has
been no disposition to carry the mat
ter any further than above outlined.

SERIOUS SETBACK
Frost of Last Night Believed to
Have Caused Much
Damage.
A WIDE AREA WAS AFFECTED
Rapid Growth of Past Few Days
Rendered Fruit Particular
Iy Vulnerable.

There was a severe frost last night,
the temperature dropping below the
freezing point soon after dark and a
white and deadly covering settling
upon green and growing things be-
fore midnight. 1t was perfect night
for frost, and we got it.
The extent of the damage that was
done is largely a matter of specula-
ton, though all agree that it was ex-
tensive, particularly to the fruit crop
and the early garden. The latter was
in measure protected by the warmth
of the soil, which prevented freezing
at the surface of the ground and
which served to temper the cold to n
slight degree.
The frosts of thursday and Satur-
days nights of last week undoubtedly
did damage, but during the early
part of the present week the warmth
had promoted growth to a remarlla-
BILE degree and last nights freeze
probably caught many plants that es-
capped before.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-05-01
In Advanced Stage.

Practically all kinds of fruit was
either in the blossom stage or past
il, and in either case the result will
probably he the same. 1t is believed
that grapes will not be affected and
that apples and berries Will in a meas
ure escape. but cherries. plums and
peaches will suffer heavily. and owing
to the extent of the area that expert
enced the frost the prices this sum-
mer and fall will in all probability be
even higher than in the past few sea-
sons.
Freezing weather at this time of
the year is not uncommon, but it is
not often that the cold is so severe
or that the crops that are likely to
be seriously affected are so far adj
vanced.
