GLfNWOOD WINS
TOURNAMENT
Local Team OutpIays
Both Competitors
And Wins DeV-
ereux Cup
TENTH CAVALRY TEAM SHOWS
SUPERIORITY OVER COLO
RADIO SPRINGS

The first game in the polo tourna-
ment played Saturday resulted in IA
victory of 12 to 81 in favor of the
Glenwood Springs team over the Colo
RADIO Springs aggregation. As the
score would indicate, Colorado Springs
was entirely outclassed by the locals
and at no point in the game was there
a show for the visitors. Theodore l..
Harrison had horse die while being
led from the grounds after an exciting
run. The horse was a handsome
black ard was considered one of the
best in tie string. 1t is believed that
/ cause of its death was blind stag
gers.
The second in the series of games
was played Monday between the Fort
Robinson team aud the second team of
the Cheyenne Mountain Country club
This score was even worse tnan the
Saturday result, the Tenth Cavalry
beating the Colorado Springs people
in an easy manner The final an
nouncement was 10 for the Nebraskans
and 3 for the Springs. The Springs
men could seldom find the ball and
their inferiority was fully as apparent
as it was Saturday. The Tenth Cav
airy team played in good form with
Whitehead an easy leader. He was
the star of the day. A number of
Colorado Springs people were in
attendance both Saturday and Monday
to witness the contests.
In the last game of the tournament
Wednesday afternoon, the Glenwood
team fully maintained its reputation
as a polo team, taking the game in an
easy manner from the Tenth Cavalry
team of Nebraska. While the cavalry
men were expert riders, they We're un
able to fiud the ball at critical points
and several times lost making scores
by reason of lack of harmonious team
work. The Gleuwood team played
together all along the line and each
member of the team proved himself
the right man in the right place and
none hesitated at points where daring
plays We're needed. F. fl A Lyle,
especially, covered himself with glory
and the Devereuxs made some stunts
thatit would be difficult to equal,
while Bryant Turner made some re
markable drives.
For the Teuth cavalry Miller aud
Whitehead We're the favorites and
with the same amount of practice that
the Glenwoods have had would devel-
up into experts at the game. The
other members of that team were pc
fectly at home on their horses but
failed to meet critical occasions with
the vim and dash that characterized
the Glenwoods.
The final score was II "a to in fa-
vor of Glenwood This makes twice
that the local team has won tourna.
ments and the Devereux cup which
becomes the permanent property of
the team that wins three games. 1t
is likely that a great effort will be
made by Colorado Springs next year
to win the tournament as they have
won one already and another will tie
the Glenwoods. The attendance at
the final game was larger than at any
previous contest and much enthusiasm
was manifested.

STRIKE AT NEeDEsHA.
Eight Hour Law Causes Trouble With
City Lab0fers.

Neodesha, Kan. Nov. 23.-Until to-
day work on the sewer system in this
city has progressed rapidly and salts
factorily. The first interruption oc-
CURED when seventy-two men refused
to take up their work and are now
out, thus delaying the completion of
the system materially.
The cause of the trouble is found
in the fact that a state law forbids
men to labor on any public work
longer than eight hours a day. Labor
Commissioner johnson was in Neode-
sha Saturday evening and advised the
contractor of this fact, and also the
laborers who refused to work eight
hours day at the scale paid them for
a ten hour day. For ten hours work
they have been receiving 81, or 20
cents an hour. The contractors prop
osition is that the men work eight
hours a day for 20 cents an hour, or
$3.50 a day. This they refuse to do
but are willing to work the eight
hours for 81, but the contractor will
not concede them this scale, so there
is trouble in the camp, and meanwhile
no work is being done on the sewer
system except by two men who are
going ahead for $3.50 a day.
Settlement between the contractor
and his laborers seems impossible for
the present as neither will yield. It
is said lot of Danes will be here soon
to take the strikers places.

DOCTORS ARE SATISFIED.
Physicians and Specialists Admit the
Permanently of Cures by Ascatco.

New York. Nov. 28.-Whatever
doubt, if any. may have existed among
the medical profession and the general
public as well. regarding the per-
manency of the cures by ascatco, the
new Austrian drug, in cases of asthma,
catarrh and bronchitis, has been en-
tirely dispelled by the unusual number
of positive cures within the past few
months. Nothing hitherto introduced
in the world of medicine is as uni
versally recommended by the medical
profession as ascatco. and it promises
to be as great a boon to mankind as
quinine.
The Austrian Dispensary, at East
Fourteenth street, New York, by spe-
cial commission, supplies ascatco with
out charge to every asthma and ca
tarrh sufferer who writes to them
for it.

Say Condition of Flour Market Most
Unsatisfactory in Years.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. ga called
meeting of the Southern Kansas Millers'
association was held here Tuesday af-
ternoon at which about so of the largest
mills in Kansas were represented. The

discussing the present condition of the
flour market which the millerS say is
been in years.
In this portion of the state, mills that

running only during the day. Secretary
