AGAINST FOOTBALL,

Editor Bulletin:
Why should the free school In Cairo
ape the colleges in the matter of that
brutal barbarism called football? II
is a strange thing that anybody should
be willing to engage in anything. with
so little in il for good
am at a loss to understand why our
school professors will tolerate II,
much less promote it.
Football is a survival of the brutal
sports I'm the Roman arena. II appeals
to the same taste that gloats on the
prize fight or the bull fight. II was
looked upon in Scotland with such dis.
favor that 1t was prohibited by law III
1920, and yet we have 1t in Cairo in
1904.
Young boys are allowed to play foot
ball at the risk of life and limb. but
the law will not allow bull to be 50
abused as to engage in the brutal sport
coming from Spain called the bull
fight.
/, II Is safe to say that there is not a
boy on the high school team that has
his mothers approval. but on the con.
trary she is in constant dread OF an
accident and justly too. where acct
dents are so likely to happen. In fact,
they are courted, and It makes your
blood run cold to hear these young
sters talk on that phase Of the game
and express their utter disregard of
equences-displaying the stoicism
and counting of danger that marked
the Roman gladiator.

FOR rlONEY
John Van Gardner and Anna
Farnham Killed at Their
Home.


BUFFALO, May "a special from
Angelica, ~ Y, says;
THE bodies of John Van Gorder and
his half sister, Miss Anna Farnham,
brother and half sister Of former SEN
ator Van Gorder of Buffalo, have been
found in the sitting room Of their home
on a farm in West Almond. They had
been murdered in the night"
Mr. Van Gorder had been shot
through the back, and his sister was
stabbed to death with a stiletto made
from a file The bodies were discover
ed by neighbor, John Rice who had
gone to the place to borrow a farming
implement.
District Attorney Church of Olean
was Immediately notified and is now
in West Almond. Robbery is supposed
to have been the motive Of the double
crime, as the house had been ransacked
from end to end. Both the man and
the woman were fully clothed when
killed, indicating that they had not re-
tired when the burglars entered the
house
Farmers from all over the region are
securing the country for the murderer.
Every man is armed. A feeling of gen
eral insecurity prevails through the en-
tire region of West Almond owing to
the robbery and murder.
Miss Farnham was forty-five years
old and was well known and generally
loved for her charming manners and
her Christian character.
John Van Gorder was a bachelor
about fifty years old. Miss Farnham
kept house for him. They were well
10 do and were in the habit of keeping
money and jewelry in the house.

EXPERT AT The FAIR
Ferdinand w. Peck Gives st.
Louis Show High Praise.
FAR SURPRISES ALL EXPECTATIONS
Vice President of Chicago Fair and
Commissioner at Paris Exposition
Says, "This Is More Colossal,
More Stupendous."

ST. LOUIS, May 81 am here sim
ply as a visitor and not i'm any official
capacity, but l desire to say that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition far sur
passes my greatest expectations" said
Ferdinand W. Peck as he stood in the
administration building and gazed out
over the grounds. Mr.. Peck was the
first vice president of the Columbian
exposition in Chicago in 1893 and in
1900 was commissioner general for the
United States to the Paris exposition.
"At the opening of this exposition
it was far in advance of the Paris
exposition on its opening day." Mr..
Peck continued "and this is saying a
great deal when it is considered that
the preparations for the Paris EXPOSE
ton covered a period of ten years,
while the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton had been in course of preparation
only three years. We judge every
thing by comparisons these days and
especially so when talking of EXPOSE
tons.
II II lVN elIc'ihl llE hNibHhlpl ilN Abi
me TO say that the Chicago exposition
was perhaps a trihe farther advanced
at its opening, but then it must also
be considered that it did not cover so
vast an area. This exposition is more
colossal and more stupendous.
Now at the Chicago exposition Lake
Michigan formed a beautiful back
ground, while here there is no body
of water. But the undulating ground,
the verdure and the surroundings as a
whole, which have most softening
and pleasing effect to the eye, consti-
tute equally as beautiful background
and give the visitor an impression that
was impossible in Chicago.
THE state buildings are far beyond
my expectations. They are more colos-
sal in structure and more substantial
in appearance than | had expected, and
all are marvels of beauty. The same
thing may be said Of all the national
buildings"
