After. holding the championship. and
also being undefeated by a high school
football team, for over six years, the
team from Central High School was de-
feated this year by Western and Tech
nical. and secures third place among the
FIVE high school teams contesting in
the Inter-Eigh School League. High
Sohuol students. both present and past,
never saw a, game as close and as hard
fought es that between Technical and
Central on Georgetown Field. The score,
100 in favor of Technical. IS no index
TO the cIoseness and ferceness OF the
struggle
Techs scores were made in the last
ten minutes of play. and had shorter
halves been played the game would
doubtless have ended In a tie The
halves played were thirty-five minutes
in length. something unusual for high
school games. The halves were never
more than twenty-five minutes. and IN
the Eastern-T Technical game, as short
as fifteen minutes each. The Technical
team outweighed the Central team by a
generous amount and the old football
adage that beef viii teli' proved true
in this case.
At the end of the game Cunningham
and Scott Of Central. were completely
exhausted. and for a time were in a
serious condition. The length Of the
halves. which was demanded by the
Technical coach, Mr.. Hecox. no doubt
worked a hardship ana strain, and al
most every player suffered injuries in
one way or another. This action on the
cart OF Mr.. Hecox, in insisting on a
thirty-five minute period. has been
roundly criticised by local football en-

A Jagged piece Of stone. covered
with hair and blood, is the only tang
ible elew to the murder of Miss
Agatha Reichlin, who was killed May
/ at the home of her brother, the
Rev. Charles Reichlin, the priest In
charge Of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic
church, Lorain, Ohio.
Miss Reichlin, who was about thirty
years old, handsome. accomplished
and popular, was housekeeper for her
brother. Living with them was an
other brother, Cassimir, and the Rev.
Ferdinand Walser of Toledo, was tenn
porarily stopping at the house. The
Rev. Charles Reichlin was not at
home, having gone to Kelly's island
to conduct funeral.
Shortly after / o'clock on the morn
ing of May the Rev. Walser says he
was awakened by smothered cries of
distress from the room adjoining his,
which was occupied by Miss Reichlin.
He thought she was i'll, and waited to
hear If her brother was looking after
her. He heard a sound of striking
match, and the door between the two
rooms was opened. A short man put
his head around the corner Of the door
and when the Rev. Walser saw that
it was not Cassimir he spoke sharply,
saying:
what are you doing here? You get
out Of here as fast as you can"
The fellow held in his hand a rock
covered with blood and pieces Of hair.
After seeing the priest he left rapidly.
The Rev. Walser then called to Cas-
simir Reichlin and told him there
were burglars in the house. Cassimir
rushed from his room and heard the
man going through the attic. He fol-
lowed and saw him disappear down a
ladder. He returned to the room and

New York Minister Says the Vice Is

The Rev. DR.. L. A. Banks, rector of

Columbus avenue, told members of the
New York conference In Poughkeep-
sic Sunday that drunkenness is alarm
ingly on the increase among the bet.

cities.
Some of these days I will
give more startling facts" he said
yesterday. 'If the habit Of drinking
among women of the better and mid
die classes continues to increase

say that every minister in New York
knows women-good women-who
drink. l have heard what the society
women do in Newport and Washing
ton, but l know what they do in New
York.in the way Of drinking.
Drinking among women has come
to be a matter Of Indifference nova
days. 1t is prevalent among our
more respectable classes. 1t has pro-
crossed so far that we read every
day of our rich women recuperating at
sanitariums. Their poorer sisters
must have recourse to alcoholic wards
in public hospitals. These records
show it. Cocktails, Of whisky, are
lowering the respectable level of the
women of the middle class. They
take the place of the champagne and
hot wines among the rich.
Twenty years ago nothing passed
the lips but light wines and ales, and
then seldom except at christenings or
feasts. Now the women can be seen
any day in the week, and Sunday, al
ter and before church, at their hotel
and restaurant meals drinking cock
tails, glass for glass, with their men
companions. They show Indifference
to opinion, lack of modesty and OF
conscience.

think that is one way. Therefore we

Mr. Hickman owns six fine blood.
hounds, and seven minutes after re-
ceiving the message he was on the
way with two full-blooded registered
English bloodhounds. They were
taken to the Reichlln residence. The
dogs were first taken upstairs to the
room in which the young woman was
murdered. The dogs shifted at the
bed clothing, at the stone used to kill
the girl, and at the ladder. Finally
they were allowed to take their own
scent. They went from the attic to
the girls room, then to the next room,
and to the bed occupied by Rev. Wal.
ser the night before. They shifted
at the pillows, but they did not bay.
They went from room to room, and,
according to Mr.. Hickman, they paid
more attention to the Walser bed than
anything else.
After it was thought that the dogs
had had time to get the scent they
were taken downstairs. They were
allowed to go as they wished, but not
track did they find. They were taken
around the house number of times,
but nothing seemed to arouse them.
The ladder was let out Of the attic
window. The dogs shifted unconcern-
eddy. DR.. Hickman said there was
nothing to work on down stairs. He
said the murderer, so far as he could
tell, never left the house.
During the next few hours the
police say a strong feeling appeared
to be growing against Father Walser.
This became serious enough, the
police say, after a conference with
County Prosecutor Stroup, to justify
the mayor in ordering the arrest OF
Father Walser. The afidayit was
drawn and charged the priest with
murder in the first degree.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-05-15

The arrest and charge of murder
placed against Father Walser by no
means cleared away the mystery sur
rounding the case. While the police
have abandoned the theory that the
murder was committed by robber,
they thus far have failed to establish
a motive for the commission Of the
crime by the priest.
If, and that is the only supposition
upon which they base their theory,
Father Walser entered Miss Reichlin's
room and the murder resulted from
her resentment Of his advances, why
was there not struggle or an cutlery
that would have aroused Miss Reich
Inns brother, who slept in an adjoin-
ing room?
If the murder had been committed
in that way, furthermore, upon mad
impulse, would the priest deliberately
have planned to deceive the police and
the dead girls brother by placing
ladder against the house and opening
doors and windows to indicate that
burglar had been in the house and had
escaped?
A new link was added to the chain
Of cirrcumstantial evidence in favor OF
the police theory that the murder was
not committed by person who en-
tered the house for the purpose of rob-
berry. 1t was discovered that the stone
with which Miss Reichlin was killed
and which was afterward thrown into
the yard, had been kept in the house
some time, being placed before a
door to keep 1t open.
The only other new discovery was
that two men had been seen carrying
a ladder from the yard of neighbor
of the Reichlin's the night of the MUIR
der, and it now transpires that the

ladder was taken from this yard. Fur
thermore it was old and rotten, being
held together by wires. Its owner
says it would not have held heavy
man, he being afraid to use 1t himself.
The police have found man who says
he saw two men carrying the ladder
on the street near the Reichlin home,
but he did not notice where they went.
Father Ferdinand Walser was set
free May s, after formal hearing be-
fore Mayor King and the coroner's
jury, which was in session all day at
Elyria, returned verdict that Agatha
Reichlin came to her death from
wounds inflicted by a stone in the
hands of person unknown.
The murder of Miss Reichlin Is still
a mystery, and at present there is ao-
solutely no clew to the real criminal.

Now, when the daughter Of the

They called in body to express

All would have gone well If the

It was dinner time when Jumbo Sam
rode up to the Hat Six ranch. Hospi-
tally is the first law Of the cattle
country, and Jumbo Sam, who had
eaten breakfast seven hours before,
was in no mood to transgress 1t. HIS
saddle creaked as 1t was relieved OF
his 200 pounds, and the jaded cow
pony shook himself with satisfaction.
Dinner is now ready in the dinin,
car" sang out the cook. Come an
git 1t while it's hot"
In response to the welcome call the
crowd of COW punchers filed into the
dining room.
Come on, Jumbo" said Rufe
Thompson, foreman of the Hat Six.
Better hit the grub trail right now. IL
you don't want the cook to work over
time. Them cow hands is liable to
clean off that table as quick as a

than one O. yer bears when 1t sets

Jumbo Sam was a bear hunter by
occupation, and the smile was not
lost on him. He made hasty pre-
tense of scrubbing his bearded face
in the water trough at the side of the
kitchen, and followed Thompson into
the dining room.
"Set yere, Jumbo. right acrost from
Peg Simmons. You know Peg. At
least If you don't you'd orter."
Other than an involuntary start,
Jumbo Sam gave no sign that he rec
ognized Simmons. He took the seat,
however, and bent his head SO low
over his plate that Jack Fulmer, his
nearest table companion, said after
ward that he thought the hunter was
about to ask blessing.
This expectation was not realized,
for Jumbo Sam, with head still low
cred, swept the table with sidelong
glances and helped himself literally
to beefsteak, biscuits and potatoes as
the food was passed to him. AS he
had reputation for conversation of
that personal variety known as brag-
gadocio, his silence was noticeable.
His close attention to the business in
hand, however, seemed to remove any
mysterious cause for this lack of To-
Quacity. Not once did he refuse to
help himself to the contents Of tho
meat platter or pan of biscuits. Had
1t not been for his peculiar manner
during the meal his reticence might
have been passed by without COM
ment. Not once did he raise his eyes
to Peg Simmons. The strange twist
of his thick neck suggested rheuma-
tism, spinal trouble, earache. almost
any i'll, in fact, which could be con-
tracted by a man who sometimes
tracked a grizzly in fresh snow for
two or three days with stopping until
he found his game.

seldom looked at his plate. His small
blue eyes rested almost constantly on

saIicyIIe Acid.

The effect of salicylic acid as o
food preservative has been exhaus-
lively studied by Drs. MacAllister
and Bradshaw Of Liverpool. Their
conclusions are positive that salicylic
acid, in the ways in which it is used
in the preparation Of food products,
is not only not harmful but is pres
ervation to health, inasmuch as the
process of decomposition which 1t
prevents would be far more danger
Gus. They show by their experiments
that digestion is scarcely perceptibly
hindered by saturated solutions of
salicylic acid, and that the effects of
small quantities on the living sub.
1ects are practically negligible.

They tell this story of the time when
Lord Randolph Churchill was Tory
leader in the Commons. A number of
members of his party were displeased
with Lord "Randy's" way of doing
things, SO they deputed one of the lot
to call on his lordship and diplomatic
cally state their views. Lord Randolph
listened until his visitor had con-
cluded and then said: LET me ask
you, sir, are you leader of the Con-
sentative party, or am II" The grum-

unexpected query and his lordship,
after waiting for few moments, rose
to his full height and shouted: go to

Imports Of Deadly Drugs.

There is no mistaking the signifl-
canoe of the comparisons made by the
chief of the bureau of statistics, o. p.
Austin, of the importation of the chief
drugs during the last five years. OF
medicinal opium we imported in 1898
72,2S7 pounds, in 1902 the imports
reached the appalling total of 54S,674
pounds, or between seven and eight
times as much. The importation OF
morphia and salts rose from $35,659
in value in 1898 to $96,559 in 1902,
those of cocaine and salts in the same
period from $59, $50 to s254,704, and
those of opium and morphia from
$685., $50 to $2,549,42 in the same time.
