Prominent among the many land
marks In the state is what is known
far and near as the Bandits Cave, sit
-uated in a desolate spot in the noun
tains of Randolph county. This was
once the abode of the f1ercest band Of
outlaws that ever infested the south
ern states.
The history of the place is we'll
known to the inhabitants of the
neighborhood, but it was not fully ex-
plored until recently, when several
men who had no faith in the wild sto-
ries circulated went into it.
Surrounding the, cave, which begins
with hole probably twenty feet in
traces Of life. Several rusty knives
and f1intlock carbines were found
strewn about the entrance, besides
long metal pipes, chains, copper yes
sells Of various shapes and other i'm
plements suggestive Of the wild life Of
those who once inhabited the cave.
On entering, which they did by
means of cable ladder. the explor-
ers found themselves in long hall
which led to different apartments. It
was decided to send two men Of the
party to follow each passage and

and it was agreed to meet at the ent-
rance after exploration. They rea-
soned that the cave extended for sew
eral hundred feet in every direction.
Then came startling discoveries.
Skeletons of human beings were found
some in the position they occupied
when death claimed their souls. On
some Of the Withered frames hung bits
of clothing not yet rotted from them
or torn away by the wild beasts, evil

their bleaching skeletons, piled one
upon another. No further discoveries
were made. as the men, terrified by
the awful sight fed with one accord
from, the sickening scene. They re-
turned later with Others. The Inn
plements found were piled in a heap
and taken to a crossroads trading,
point, sonae twenty miles south OF the
cave. Many theories are advanced as
to how the inhabitants of the cave,
met their death.
The position of their skeletons
would indicate that the entire band
died while asleep, and it is conject-:
ured by some that g prisoner in their.
hands managed in some way to secure
a poisonous herb and murdered the
band by placing 1T In their food, and
thus escaped the Terrific cruelties to

over Minneapolis, will the maize and
blue or the maroon and gold wave in
victory? Another sphinXlike question.
Minnesota has the greatest team in
its history. Michigan has not the
greatest team in it's history, perhaps,
but then the present team could fall
somewhat short of it's two predeces-
sors and still be wonderful football
machine. 1t is wonderful machine.
Yost has had first-class, heavy men
to work with, and he has trained them
as Yost only can train men-to be
fast all the time and to play together
as one man.
The Michigan team this year is an
other scoring machine. Can Mime
think they can. They may succeed.
Certainly they have a better chance
than they had last year. ..'..
The teams are practically even in
weight, the average being not far
from $50 pounds for both teams.
From all that can be learned DR.. Will
lianls has succeeded in making his
men as speedy as Yost's, and they
work together we'll.
John S. Foster, captain of the best
team Indiana ever turned out, now
director of athletics at Shattuck mill
tary school, Faribault, Mimi, who
knows both teams thOroly, says: IT,.
Minnesota has the best team in it's
history. I think, however, that Mich
igan will win because Of more expert
and Redden. A great deal depends
upon O'Brien. He gets more speed
into the Minnesota play than any one
else up here could possibly" 80 -
The outcome is uncertain, but
Michigan is held the favorite here.

Both teams played fast from the
beginning and there was very little
fumbling turnout. The first touch
down was made by Best around the
academy's right end. He was tackled
and thrown to the ground with such
force that he was compelled to leave
the game in a semi-conscious condi-
ton, and his place was taken by Nor
ris, who played equally as fierce a
game.
The left side Of the Pillsbury line
proved easy for North highs backs

The second half was shorter by five
minutes which prevented North high

brace in the beginning of the half, but
only secured possession of the ball

In the first half neither side scored.
This was largely due to the fact that

st. Paul Central Wins.

st. Paul Central high won the football
championship Of that city yesterday by
defeating the Mechanic Arts team by the
score of to 0. The only touchdown was
made after five minutes of play. The
game unexpectedly proved to be the
closest and hardest fought contest played
in st. Paul In several years. Central was
conceded to be the winner from the first
but supporters Of both teams expected
the score to be much larger The Me-
chanics team, however, showed great i'm
provement since it's last game and put
up fighting game to the last.
There was little open work in the en-
tire game, line bucks being used almost
exclusively. Altho the EentraIs out
weighed their opponents by several
pounds, the latter succeeded In finding a
number of weak spots, which they at
tackled for good gains. The Mechanics
came near scoring in the second half and
were only prevented from doing SO by
the hardest work Of the day on the part
of the Centra1s.

$40, 900 FOR GEORGIA SYRUP

Congress, it seems, viii appropriate
$40, 600 for the advancement of the IN
terest of the Georgia syrup growers.
The amount that was appropriated last
year was $50, 1000, and it was well and
wisely spent. The $40, 900 that will be
spent this year will assist greatly in
making known to the farmers Of South
Georgia the possibilities of the sugar
cane which they are now cultivating so
freely. They are just beginning to
realize what a mine of wealth they
have in their farms.
1t has not been so many years since
the pine lands of South Georgia were
regarded as almost Yalueless for agri-
cultural purposes. Now it is being
discovered that when properly cult
waited they will yield abundantly of the
crops to which they are adapted. Most
of the long staple cotton of this state is
now grown upon them and it is praeti-
cally certain that in the course of a
very few years the Georgia syrup crop
will almost equal in value the long sta
pie cotton crop.
The cane syrup industry IS just be-
ginning to be handled in an intelligent
and business like way. BY that we do
not mean that there are not farmers
who have not handled it intelligently
and proftably for years. We simply
mean that the great majority of those
who haYe been making syrup have not
understood the possibilities ofthe bus
mess. They have made a syrup of an
inferior quality, and therefore have OBJ
tanned a price for it that barely paid
the cost of making it. They are seeing
now how a superior article can be made
and finding out that for high grade
article there is an almost unlimited de-
mand at profitable price.
Georgia syrup is far better than New
Orleans molasses, orany other kind of
molasses, for the reason that none Of
the sugar is extracted from it. 1t is
more desirable than maple syrup, and
when it comes to be generally known
will, it is safe to say, commando better
price than that syrup. Unless we are
greatly mistaken the time is close at
hand when a very large part of the
lands of South Georgia will be devoted
to the cultivation Of sugar cane and
the syrup business will be one of the
chief sources of the states wealth.
