The Oregon Law Journal has called
attention to the matter of tax lodging
and publishes an article in a recent is
sue urging the publication of the tax
list before equalization. 1t will un-
doubtedly do a great deal to equalize
the burdens of taxation. This should
be incorporated in the new tax law, to
be presented by the special session.

the second eleven winning from
Logan's heavy team by a score
of II to 0, and the Missouri
Valley first team wrenched a
well-earned victory from the
Woodbine Normals, defeating
Woodbine II too. The second
team and Logan played fast
and furious foot ball, and the
Valley boys scored their two
touchdowns by hard straight
foot ball. They out-played and
out-classed their heavier OPP
ponents at every point of the
game, Blunt, Deur, Moore,
McGavren and Fensler being
the bright, particular stars.
But the real article of foot
ball was presented in the sec
ond game, when Missouri VAL
ley scored two touchdowns and
a goal kick in the first half and
one touchdown and goal kick
in the second. Missouri Valley
kicked off to Woodbine, and
after a few rushes Woodbine
punted to Cook. The Valley
then went to Woodbine like a
perfect cyclone, in a whirlwind
of line bucks and end rushes.
Earnsdorf laid the ball between
the Woodbine goal posts, Cook
kicking goal. Score, Missouri
Valley 6, Woodbine 0. Missouri
Valley kicked to Woodbine and
the ball worked back and forth
a few downs, when WOodblne
again punted to Cook. Missouri
Valleys speedy backs and
tackles soon had the ball again,
nearing Woodbine's goal. Ho-
mer Jones made a clean twelve
yards through tackle and on a
tackle back formation Ebaugh
crossed the line, Cook miss
ing goal. Score, Missouri
Valley II, Woodbine 0. Time
was called for the first half
soon after Missouri Valley
kicked to Woodbine. Woodbine
kicked to Missouri Valley and
the Valley boys carried the ball
thirty yards and lost on a fun
bic. Woodbine tried the ends
and tackles for short gains but
were forced to punt to Cook.
The Valley kept up a steady
pounding and carried the ball
we'll into Woodbine territory,
but lost on a tumble. Woodbine
was caught holding and penal
lied twenty yards, being forced
to punt. Missouri Valley then
went after a third touchdown,
with less than three minutes to
play. H. Jones made another
splendid run of fully twenty
yards, and Hansen went
through tackle for the touch
down, Cook kicking goal as
time was called. Score, Mis-
souri, Valley, 18, Woodbine, O.
The Valley boys out-played
their opponents all the way
through, although out-weighed
and playing a veteran team
they smashed through the line
and around the ends for good
gains. There were no particular
stars; every man played a mag
nifcent game. Coulthard and
Jones hurdled time after time
for good gains, while Earnsdorf
was a whirlwind on offense and
defense. Hansen and Ebaugh
on the tackle were invincible
and always made their distance.
Cook, Stowe and Finley slipped
around the ends for nice gains
and stopped the heavy inter-
ference of Woodbine for loss
several times. For Woodbine,
Blackman did the best work,
tackling being his best depart
ment. He played way out of
his class in yesterdays game.
But the Woodbine team played
a great game. for all their de-

With only forty hours before
he could claim his bride and be
off on the honeymoon to which
he has long looked forward and
which he and his prospective
bride have been planning to-
gether in their many tete-a-te-
ties at the Her Grand in the last
two weeks, DR.. Fred Farmer of
Chicago finds himself once more
CONDEMNED to a term of bach
e!orhood.
His bride-to-be eloped Thurs
day night while he sat awaiting
her return from a drive.
DR.. Farmer has been engage
ed for over a year to Miss Haz-
ell Musick, a daughterof the late
Colonel John Roy Musick, the
distinguished traveller, historian
and author, of Kirksville, Mo-,
and latterly of this city, who
died here about two years ago.
Miss Musick, with her sister
and her mother, Mrs. Musick.
have been residing at the Her
Grand hotel.
The wedding was appointed
to take place this afternoon at
3 o'clock in this city. All ar
rlngements had been made for
the nuptials, DR.. Farmer having
been in this city for two weeks
awaiting the happy day and
consulting with his intended
b:ide over the event, which was
to weld two lives into one.
During the absence of her
finance in Chicago, while he

Miss Musick had been tho
special attention from Mr.. Asa
Hunt, manager of the carpet
department of the Orchard
Wilhelm company of this city.
Every effort on Mr.. Hunts part
had been used apparently in
vain up to Thursday afternoon
Ito induce Miss Musick to break
the engagement with the doct-
or and become the Omaha mans
bride. The outcome and final
consequences are these as told
by Mrs. Musick, the mother of
the girl:
"Hazel was in a terrible gu
andary what to do" said Mrs.
Musick. "She was being paid
attentions by two of the incest
men | ever met and she really
did not know which she liked
best, though somewhat inclin-
ing to Mr.. Hunt. But thoughts
of her engagement to DR.. Far
mer held her and she thought
it would be injustice to him to
break it off and she never had
the courage to do it. She was
taken i'll and during her con-
valsecence a few days ago,
while the doctor was at the no.
tel, Mr.. Hunt called. / told
him the doctor was there and
asked him not to try to infu-
ence Hazel in any way. He
said.he would be the first to
congratulate him as the lucky
man."
Thursday evening, while the
doctor and Hazel were talking,
one Of her girl friends drove up
in a carriage and wanted to
take her for a drive. The doct-
or thought it unwise, but she
went.
"The next thing heard of her
was when | got a letter from
her telling me that she had de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Hunt, that
they had been married in town
that evening and that they
would leave next morning for
his home in the east, stopping
